Information About Fake Teeth.

A young woman had just left a
dentists chair and was adjusting her
wrap to leave, with several dollars worth
of gold in one of her incisors, when a re-
porter entered the office.
''What is the use of people enduring
the agony of having their teeth filled
when they can have them pulled without
pain and then have a set of false teeth
which will never trouble them again?'
asked the reporter as the young lady gave
a sigh of relief and left the Office.
why, my dear young man, very few
people can have a set of artificial teeth
which will not trouble them. In nearly
every case false teeth are very trouble
some. -
''That is when you do not get good
fit, I SUPPOSED"

have it remain SO very long, because
many mouths are continually changing.
A plate that may fit well to-day may be-
come unbearable in six months, and the
plate may even break; in fact, they fire.
quently do. have several patients who
must have new plates made every year
or two, at the most, because their mouths
change SO much they cannot use plate
longer than that Then there are other
people who cannot endure plate in their
mouth at all, no matter how perfect the
fit. They cannot become accustomed to
them even after persistent trials. have
known men after trying whole year to
give up in disgust and resolve to gum it.
So you see artificial teeth may be con-
tinual expense and a great annoyance to
a person. 1t is far better to have the
natural teeth attended so, if they need a
dentists attention, but it is better still
for every one to take proper care of their
own teeth and preserve them as long as
possible. cleveland Plaindealer.

Language for Sacred Truths.

This custom of using an archaic
tongue unfamiliar to people is very an
Gent, and prevails in various religions
outside of Christianity throughout the
world. There seems to be deep rooted
sentiment in human nature that sacred
ceremonies should have a language apart,
SO that the multitude may not approach
and profane that which is beyond and
above their comprehension.
Within few years remarkable in
stance of this custom existing among a
primitive people has been brought to light
in the Investigations of Mr.. Frank Hannil-
ton Cushing among the Zuni Indians of
New Mexico. Mr.. Cushing having dis
covered that the prayers and ceremonials
used by the priests are in an ancient
tongue which bears relation to the Zuni
of to-day similar to that of Anglo-Saxon
to English. The remarkable thing about
this is that the ancient language has been
preserved orally, the Zuni having no
method of writing, but SO great is the
veneratiOn for the sacred tongue that it
has been handed down from generation to
generation without the change of a word.
This illustrates the conservative value of
priesthood. Nearly, if not quite all,
which the hngual science of to-day knows
of the tongues of antiquity is due to this
practice of preserving them for use in
sacred otfices.-Boston Herald.

Gen. Johnston would have made
good deal of a statesman had he received
the proper training. His mind was quick
to grasp a subject and his opinion on

had been educated in the Calhoun school
of politics, and his convictions We're deep
and conscientious in that direction.
When called upon to command in Utah
during the Mormon difficulties, he had a
full understanding of the situation, and
asked no favors from those people, al
though greatly deficient in some of his
supplies, especially salt. He had no hest

the dead of the winter of 1878 for the
articles needed, and showed the Mornons
how readily he could get on without
their assistance
Nothing daunted him, and when the

The South Sea barber is never at loss
for shop or utensils, nor Is one at loss
to find a barber where all alike are ca
pable of perpetrating a shave, hair cut or
shampoo, the only difference being that
some do it worse than others. HIS shop
is ALWAYS with hin-al1 he wants Is some
thing for a seat-and as in operating be
himself stands he does not feel the same
lively repugnance that his patient does to
resting on a spray of coral. His soap he
finds in the large fruit of vine that
crows everywhere in the bush and along
shore; broken open and dipped in water
salt or fresh is all one-it produces,
when rubbed upon the face, fine,
creamy lather that looks all that could be
desired, but which, in fact, is vain de-
fusion. as it cultivates no intimate &C
uuaintanCe with the skin or hair.
The shells on the beach afford that
against which he cuts when he is not
gashing the tender skin of the white
man; his shark s tooth razor is at hand,
snugly wrapped in a leaf and slowed IN
the perforation of one ear, the balance
being restored by carrying his tobacco
and pipe similarly situated in the other.
When the operation is over the lather Is
swabbed out of the mouth, eyes and other
cavities with a wisp Of grass, the ashes OF
another bunch of grass are carefully
rubbed over the face to prevent the hem
orrhage which seems inevitable to the
victim, and finally head and face are
washed with a shaddock as big as can
talope, whereof a half is held in either
hand of the operator and the head of the
victim between. AS an abstract fact in
economic botany it may be stated that
the juice of this shaddock is not pleasant
upon raw flesh.
Sometimes the barber finds that relic
that civilization always leaves upon the
path over which it has passed, the broken
bottle. Then he advances a step toward
luxury in shaving, the acme of which is
reached when he can use piece of hoop
iron.
There is one good point about him, and
that is that he does not talk; yet even
this is blunted by the fact that he usually
sings monotonously. Some few words of
his weird, wild and lonely chants as the
nearer succeeds in catching cause chills of
the coolest kind to run up and down his
back as he reflects that but few years
ago were the days when his barber, in
stead of shaving, would have cheerfully
engaged in dissecting him with a view to
settling the question of the dinner hour.
