Tooth as n Jewel-0dds and Ends.
Mr.. LOUIS CARPENTER, who plays the conf
Dental clerk to Old Nick in "The Henrietta"
SO admirably, does not do anything better than
his stimulation OF intense anxiety as he bends
over the ticker to watch the panicky course OF
the Henrietta stocks. His hand, clutching at
the tape, is kept in a continuous tremor for
many minutes together
1 Ichanced to allude to Mr.. Carpenters skill
In Stimulating that nervous trembling OF the
hand before several young men yesterday and
one of them unintentionally betrayed his expe-
rience by remarking: "oh, but it's blanked
sight easier to tremble than to keep ones hand
from trembling, I've found.
But then everybody can't afford to expert
ment with delirium tremens.
So
THE Hon. BGrdWeu Slote, otherwise our
esteemed fellow citizen, Billy Florence, man
aged to enlighten this city with his presence for
few hours yesterday, as he hurried from
Wheeling to Youngstown. He was in terrific
hurry, and, barring little throat trouble in
fair health. To everybody he met he remarked
that he was awfully pressed for time, but
nevertheless when he ran up against his

A YOUNG married man of my acquaintance
has quaint conceit in the shape of a scarfpin
made from a pearly tooth that once belonged
to babe of his. The little bit Of ivory set
openly in etruscan gold makes very tasteful
bit of jewelry. Nobody would recognize the
baby's tooth in it.
THE shifting of the population on April l
this year promises to be of larger proportions
than usual. The dwellers in suburban places
seem to be. unusually dscontented with their
present abodes. One district is much the same
as another it appears. The popularity of an
annual change of base is certainly on the in
crease if a conclusion is to be drawn from one
large borough near this city, which possesses
extraordinary advantages over other semi
rural neighborhoods.
In the borough speak of, which contains
perhaps 500 houses, no less than 40 are now
marked to let There is no particular reason
assigned as far as can hear. Simply desire
to change. But that there should be 10 per
cent of these oddly constituted filters seems
large proportion in such favored COM
