"Through Sheer Cussedness.' %

De Lesseps would have been mar
vel If he had persuaded the Govern
ment of France to see him through
with the Panama Canal. A contractor
but recently returned from the 18TH
mus says that more money has been
sunk in the ditch than is required to
complete it.
l inquired how the money had been
wasted.
Through sheer cussedness," he re.
piled. "I'll give you an instance. The
best make of American locomotives
Baldwin's, think-are used for haul
ing away the earth as it is excavated.
They pull the cars from the cuts out
on to the dumps, where the unloading
is done.
@The tracks are down grade, and if a
train gets loose, nine times in dozen
it goes over the dump. / counted no
less than twenty brand-new Baldwin
engines lying at the base of these
dumps. 1t was impossible to get them
back on the rails without taking them
to pieces or lifting them up with der
ricks.
There were no derricks big enough
to handle them, and taking them apart
was too much trouble, or the men
didn't know how to. go about it; conss-
quently they were left where they fell,
to be covered up by the waste earth.
"These twenty locomotives must
have cost, delivered at the Isihmus,
10000 francs apiece. So here's an item
of 800, 900 francs literally buried out OF
sight and nothing to show for it. =" NeG

Western Farm Loans.

Millions upon millions of dollars
have gone west from New England dur
ing the past five years for investment in
farm mortgages in Kansas, Nebraska
and other states. 1t is therefore not
surprising that the local concerns are
jealous of the success of the western
loan companies which are doing bust
ness here. Very large loans have been
placed in Kansas and Iowa by the New
Hampshire savings banks. Possibly
the business has been carried too far
for safety. This opinion is quite gen.
orally entertained in Massachusetts,,
where the savings institutions have no
such privilege. But, be this as it may,
the example of the New Hampshire
savings banks has commended itself to
the attention of private investors.
They are asking themselves whether
they cannot safely place their money
at the west at 6 per cent. orr per cent.
on their own account if the savings in
situations which now take their funds
and return only or per cent. can
loan it ON farm security and clear the
difference in rates. 1t is accordingly
not at all strange that depositors
throughout New England have in hum
dreds of instances withdrawn their de-
posts to invest with the various farm
mortgage companies that operate in
Boston. This movement has become
SO extensive that it has resulted in q
general demand for state supervision
of all the concerns which have Offices
in this city. Such supervision is pro-
per enough and in every way desirable,
considered by itself, but the significant
fact is that it is demanded just now,
not merely as step forward in the di-
rection of wise financiering, but to
help other monetary concerns to hold
their own against the competition Of
the western institutions. Boston

firmness heretofore possessed by the
natural ones so firmly imbedded ia
what is called the alveolar arches, or
the bone in which the teeth are
planted.
Unfortunately for our day and gen.
Grafton, people who are scrnpulousiy
three times q day, yet who some time
or other may have pain in the region
of the gums, will delay having that
most ominous warning attended to un-
til, perhaps, the tooth has decayed to
that extent that much drilling, with
consequent annoyance and cost, must
be endured; when, if taken in season,
much of these unpleasant experiences
might have been averted The enamel
| which covers the tooth is the hardest
substance in the human body, and the
bone, which composes the interior of
the tooth, is still harder than the bone
in the leg or arm, yet once decay has
eaten its way through the surface, it is
only question of a few days. compare
lively, before an almost irreparable
damage has been done.
In order that the general reader may
understand clearly, the use of all tech
nieal terms is here dispensed with,
| and the writer will try to express her
| self in practical rather than technical
phraseology. First of all, the human
being has two sets of teeth, the first
number, which drop out between the
ages of 6 and IA. Then the permanent
ones soon appear. OF these there are
| thirty-two, sixteen in each jaw. The
four front teeth in each jaw are the
dividing teeth, or, as they are properly
called, the incisors; the next one is an
eye tooth (cuspid); the next, small
grinders (bicuspids), and the next are
| the grinders (molars). Later in life,
say between the ages of % and 80,
come the wisdom teeth.
These are the full adult set, but
there have been known cases where
adults have had but thirty teeth in
middle life. Such cases, however, are
very rare. In infants the teeth which,
as has been said. form in the cavities
in the alveolar arches, soon push their
way up through the gums and force
themselves up and beyond the elastic
substance which surrounds them. In
some cases the gums become very ten
der, and in the event of any deformity
or decay the gums ought to be lanced
at once. In such an emergency doc
tor ought to be called in, as this work
must be done skillfully. Many peo-
pie have an aversion to having the
gums of child lanced. anticipating
the pain that will be caused their off
spring, but they should know that be-
cause of the substance of which the
gums are composed, they suffer very
little from lancing if it is done with
a sharp instrument and by skillful
I operator. AS matter of fact, this
should be done at once if the child
manifests uneasiness, as it will suffer
untold agonies sometimes when teeth
ing, which might in q great degree
be lessened if the gums be lanced.

The Poet.

The poet, although there is much
said against him, does much to make
the pathway of life smoother. He is
always appealing to some kindly feel
ing in our nature, and we are all the
better for reading his illusions.
Whether he write OF the gentle spring,
the glowing simmer, the gorgeous
autumn, or the might of King Winter,
he helps us to pass the time with more
pleasure than we would experience
were he to remain silent. Even when
he does not do his work we'll we should
be grateful for the honesty of his in
tentions. But when he condescends to
write such trash as characterizes most
of the songs of the present day there
is no club too heavy to use upon him.

England's Shaving Women.

One woman at work in a shop behind
clean and tidy cottage had been max
ing nails for thirty years. She got
74d pence for making 1000 nails, and
by working long hours she could make
Sd day net. One little shop from ten
to twelve feet square was in full swing,
where were four young women hard at
work, and if they could keep it up for
six days at fifteen hours day, their
gross earnings would amount to the sur
prising sum of Is 3D. each. But the
clear earnings of these young women
skillful, persistent, unwearying work
ers; their arms thin, but burdened by
unceasing toll; their chests fat, their
faces pallid, and their palms and fin
gers case-hardened by bellows, ham
mer, oliver and rod-will run to IS Sd
per week when in full work
The oliver, it should be explained. is
spring-tilt hammer operated by the
foot of the worker and discharging the
duty of mechanical striker; it's weight
varies from ten pounds to thirty
pounds. 1t is very striking sight te
see clever girl at her work making
cone or counter-sunk nails, or pipe
nails, spoonheads, and gutter spikes
Her left hand holds the rod, which is
red-hot at one end, out of which the
nail is fashioned; with her right hand
she Yields her forming hammer, and
with her left leg she works the oliver
while her eager face is all the time
bowed to the anvil, except when
Strengthening herself up she turns from
the anvil to the bellows to blow up the
fire.
But when these girls are aged OF
about to become mothers the sight is
still more striking and makes one wish
that one had never seen it or heard OF
it, it is so pi:iful and sad, not to say
unkind and unnatural. 1t would seem
to be next to impossible in the present
state of things to do anything in the
way of regulating the hours of labor,
for the nail-maker's shop is his house,
and his house is his castle. But fol-
the fact that the nail-makers' sanitary
surroundings should be SO shocking

Something he couldn't command:
