Why He Wore a TnnnAA.

A story that is causing amusement in
the circles of the Astors and Vanderbilts
is of a young gentleman who is favored
at this moment with large amount of
money and decidedly small amount of
hair. .... .......
"Yes," he said, "that is good growth
of hair, but it is stuck on with gum"
Struck aback, the writer asked him for
an explanation.
"This is toupee," he said, ''and /
am wearing it because the hair has been
burned all off the top of my head"
He then drew receipted doctors bill
from his pocket. 1t was close to $1,000
in amount.
"That,' he said, els all for a vain at

New York go through sooner or later.
Every one seems to be growing bald

town9 Well, I wouldn't take any stock
In nostrums, but went to a regular hair
doctor. It cost me just that thousand
dollars, and it didn't do me one bit of
good. Finally I took the advice of a
young belle with perfect golden hair to
go to an old Indian herb doctor, who,
she assured me, preserved her hair when
it was fast falling out. I could want no
better proof than her head provided, so
off to the Indian went I. He mixed me
up liquid and directed me to apply it
when l retired at night. I did SO. Luckily,
I rubbed it only over the top of my head
where the hair was thin. The next morn

in sprinkled over my pillow. jumping

Starving the Teeth.

If we do not furnish to the teeth OF
the young that pabulum they require they
cannot possibly be built up. It is the
outside of corn, oats, wheat, barley and
the like, or the bran, so-called, that we
sift away and feed to the swine, that the
teeth actually require for their proper
n6urishment. The wisdom of man has
proven his folly, shown in every succeed
ing generation of teeth, which become
more fragile and weak. These Touring
mills are working destruction upon the
teeth of every man, woman and child
who partakes of their fine bolted flour.
They sift out the carbonates and the
phosphates of lime in order that they
may provide that fine white flour, which
is proving whitened sepulcher to the
teeth.
Oatmeal is one of the best foods for
supplying the teeth with nourishment.
1t makes the dentine, cementum and
enamel strong, fint-like and able to re-
sist all forms of decay. If you have
children never allow any white bread
upon your table. Bread made of whole
wheat ground not bolted, so that the
bran which contains the minute quantities
of lime is present, is best. To make a
good, wholesome, nourishing bread, take
two bowls of wheat meal and one bowl
of white or bolted -four and make by the
usual process. Nothing is superior tc
brown bread for bone and tooth building.
This is made out Of rye meal and corr
meal. Baked beans, too, have a con
siderable supply of these lime salts and
should be on your table, hot or cold three
times week. In brushing the teeth al
ways brush up and down from the gun
instead of across. Brush away from the
gum and on the grinding surface of tht
teeth.-New York Press.

dians proposed to clean out his ranclS
which was an extensive adobe building
surrounded by stockade. He did not
PaJ much attention to it, but the same
news continued to reach him, and was at
last confirmed by the arrival of a large
band of Cheyenne and Arapahoes and
Kiowas, who camped on the opposite side
of deep arroyo from the trading post,
across which the military authorities had
erected bridge for the passage Of sup
ply trains.
The saVages pretended to be very
friendly and wanted to trade, swapping
furs and skins for ammunition, but their
real object was to burn the post and carry
away Cody's scalp as trophy-a fact of
which the old frontiersman was well in
formed through the spies whom he had
amongtthem. The place was well armed,
but not sufficiently manned to resist the
attack of so formidable a band of red
skins, and old Bill cast about to seewhat
he could do to protect himself. In the
ock-yard of the post was an old howit-
zer which had been abandoned by some of
the plains military expeditions, and this
he carried up to the top of the post and
placed it so that it would sweep the
bridge. He had plenty of powder, but
no other ammunition fit to load it with,
and so he charged the gun with old mule
shoes, nails, bits of iron and similar truck.
The cannon loaded, he awaited develop
ments. Early one morning he observed
an unusual movement in the camp of his
pretended friends, and soon, fully armed,
with war-paint on, the savages made a
dash toward the fort. Cody was at his
howitzer, match in hand. The painted
redskins crowded the long but narrow
bridge, and just as the foremost reached
the nearest bank he discharged his gun at
clear range of the bridge. There was d
wild howl of disappointed rage, vision
of dead Indians tumbling in the arroyo,
of legs and arms and heads lying around
loose without claimants, and fleeing and
frightened savages escaping from the fatal
bridge. Cody's single shot had saved his
post, and he was always thereafter left in
peaceful possession of his ranch. Just
what struck them on the bridge the In
dians never knew, and the survivors Of
the fatal charge always entertained the
firm belief that "Buffalo Bill'' was in
league with the evil spirit, and, as such
person to whom it was safe to give {
wide berth. .-Dencer Neaos.

American BlOOdhOunds.

When the Germans settled in German
town they brought species of blood
hound with them from Prussia called the
ulmer, and this is commonly known as
the bloodhound. They are trained to
be fierce from puppyhood. A straw
dummy is placed near their kennel and
they are made to fly and tear it to pieces.
A pair of lively ulmers can knock spots
out of dummy in two seconds. A
young dog brought up on that sort of
diet for year or two is likely to make
things warm for escaping convicts and
burglars. That's the sort of dog the
suburban residents need to keep tramps
away.-PhsladelphSG Record.

HOW TO CARVE POULTRY.

An expert carver can divide poultry
without removing the fork from the
breast-bone or turning the bird on the
dish, but beginner will do well to have
a small fork at hand for the purpose of
laying cut portions aside as the carving
progresses. Turn the bird so that the
carving fork can be held in the left hand
and firmly fixed in the breast-bone, and
use sharp knife. First cut off both
drumsticks at the knee joint, and then
remove the second joints. With ten
der bird this is not difficult matter, but
both strength and skill are needed t.
cope successfully with tough or under.
lone turkey, because very strong sinews
are plentiful about the leg joints. Next
cut off the first joints of the wings and
the pinions, and then the joints nearest
the body. This method of cutting off
the first joints of the legs and wings be-
fore separating them from the body save
that troublesome feat of holding these
members while they are being disjointed.
Frequently they slip about the platter and
splatter the dish gravy. After the wings
are removed, cut off the merry-thought
or wish bone, and then the wing-side
bone which holds the breast to the back
bone, then carve the breast in medium
thin slices and serve the bird, giving
gravy and dressing on each plate. If the
diners are numerous it may be necessary
to cut off more of the flesh, and, even to
dismember the carcass. This can be done
with more or less ease as the carver UNDER
stands the anatomy of the bird. If a
carver would study the location of the
joints while carving and take the trouble
to cut up several carcasses by striking the
points where bones are joined together,
subsequent carving would be easy. The
joints of all birds are similarly placed so
nearly identical in point of junction that
one is a guide to all others.-Detrot Free
Press. ... .-.

The Iesuits, Ratate.

OTTAWA, Ont, April 17.-In the house of commons to-day Mir. Barron asked "wheth- CT 1t is the intention of the government to cause legal proceeding to be instituted in org der to test the legality of the act of the prov ince of Quebec, entitled An act respecting the settlement of Jesuits' estates,' and if not, does the government propose to bear the cost, or any proportion of the cost which may be incurred in testing the constitution slity of said act"
 Sir John Mcdonald replied that the gov ernment was satisfied with the constitution ality of the act, and would neither test it's legality nor aid others in doing so after the decisive opinion of the house of commons.
 The bill to amend the customs was passed without opposition. Mir. Bowell has granted the request of the mercantile community, as he moved in committee to strike out the clauses which provided for the adding of the cost of inland transportation to the dutiable value of imported goods and that where parts of manufactures are brought in the duty shall be at the same rate as the duty on the completed article
