HALF A MINUTE, PLEAsR.

Though you were a Jay Gould or .
Vanderbilt, it is worth thirty seconds of
your time to learn that Ideal" Tooth
Powder will preserve your teeth from
decay, and by SO doing save dentists
bills and hours of agony from your old
enemy, the toothache. DR.. r. E. Gieb-
ner, Pa, says: "When l first began
using "Ideal" Tooth Powder could
not use brush on my teeth on account
Of injuring the gums. Can now use as
stiff brush as obtainable with impun-
ity. 1t has also hardened the enamel of
my teeth,

The Crisis As Waterloo.

All at once came the tragedy. To
the left Of the English and on our
right, the head of the column of cui-
rassiers reared with a fearful clamor.
Arrived on the ridge, wild, furious
and running to the humiliation Of
the squares and cannon, the cuiras-
siers saw between them and the Eng
lish a ditch-a grave. II was the
sunken road of Obain. II was a fright
full moment. There was the %ravine,
unlocked for, gaping. before their
very horses feet two fathoms deep be-
tween its banks. The second rank
pushed in the first and the third push.
ed in the second. The horses reared,
fell backward, struggled with their
feet in the air, heaping up and over
turning their riders. There was no
power TO retreat; the whole column
was but a ~projectile; the momentum
gathered TO crush the English, crush
ed the French. The pitiless ravine
still capped till il was filed, Riders,
horses, rolled in together pell nell,
mangling each other, making com.
mon flesh in this gulf; and when the
grave was full OF living men, the resi-
'ode on v them and passed oil. AL.

About a month ago Curtis McBur-
rows, an s year old child of William
McBurrows, colored, grabbed with his
left hand at a fish in a pool which he
and others had muddied. e a Haw.
kinsville. AS he did so a water moc-
casin, which had been unseen, struck
its fangs into the heshy part of his
hand. between the thumb and fore
finger. The child grabbed the snake
with his right hand and tore il loose,
but the snake instantly coiled around
the left arm and inflicted several bites
ON t. The child's arm was treated by
his parents, who applied 10 il such
rel iedies as they could think of, but it
steadily grew worse. They brought
him to Hawkinsville to DR.. Taylor.
The arm was dreadfully swollen, and
the whole body seemed TO be poisoned.
Amputation was decided to be neces.
sary, and the arm was taken off at the
shoulder by DIR. Gus Taylor. The child
rallied after the operation and babe
fair to get well; but inflammation of
the boTels set in, and he died. -Haw-

A Criticism.

II one were to shave the hair of
your Hercules there would not be
skull enough left TO hold his brain;
it says that il is impossible TO distin-
guish whether his features r those
Of a man or Of something between a
horse and an OK; the face, too, is
turned away from the action Of the
figures, and is SO badly set upon the
neck, with such poverty of art and so
i'll a grace. that nothing worse was
ever seen. his s~prawling shoulders
are liz, yhe two pommels Of an ass
pack saddle, his breasts and all the
muscles Of the body are not betrayed
from n man, but from a big sack full
of melons set upright against a wall.
The loins seem 10 be modelled from
a bag Of lanky pumpkins; nobody can
tell how his two legs are attached to
HAT vile trunk; il is impossible 10 say
on which leg he stands or which he
uses Ia exert his strength; nor does
he seem 10 be resting upon both. ms
sculptorS who know something OF
their ART have occasionally SIT the fg.
ure. 1t is obvious that the body is
leaning forward more than one-thirl
of n cubit, which alone is the greatest
and most indispensable fault commit
ted by vulgar, commonplace pretend.
er. Concerning the arms, they say
that these are both stretched out with.
out one touch of grace or one real
spark of artistic talent. just as if you
had never seen a naked model. Again,
the right leg OF Hercules and that of
Cacus have got one mass of flesh be-
tween them, so that il they were TO be
separated. not only one of them, but
both together. would be left without
calf at the point where they are touch.
ing. They say, too, that Hercules has
one Of his feet under ground. while
the other seems TO be resting on Goals.

How to Make an Eoliau Harp.

Have any of our young friends ever
seen an eolian harpi 1t is a musical
instrument made by the Greeks many
centuries ago, and hung among the
trees. or where the wind could blow
upon ii, making a low, soft, musical
sound. The Baptist Weekly tells how
TO make one, which is very easily
done and inexpensive, for most of the
material can be found about the house:
WAX a piece Of buttonhole twist
about two and a half feet long; tie
each end strongly 10 a small peg. and
thrust the pegs down the crevice be-
tween the two sashes Of your southern
or western windows, stretching the
silk as tight us possible. Ii will sur
prise you the sweetness and variety
Of the tones the wind will bring
