Two diminutive district messenger

two, "where yer goin'?"
"'Ptown," replied the smaller chap.

"Slow."
"same'th me. Say, hole on; gimme a

And then the little chap held out a
grimy hand, between the thumb and
forefinger of which was clutched about
an inch of cigarette. The other messen-
ger steadied the first ones hand with his
and took Eve long puffs with the great
est satisfaction. Each puff brought such
a look to the face of the owner of the
cigarette as is seen on the face of a child
who is letting a little friend take a bite
from his stick of candy. His generosity
was evidently exhausted at the fifth puff,
and he was just on the point of making
an effective remonstrance, when n dis
gusted pedestrian swept both youths off

An English traveller in Brazil reports
an ingenious contrivance of the boatmen
by which the current of the stream is
made to counterfeit the sea breeze blow
ing up the Rio San Francisco.
The canoe was carried down the stream
by the force of the current, but in the
afternoon and during the greater part Of
the night the sea breeze blew so strong
as to impede our progress. The boat
men, however, adopted a plan to over
come this, which / nave never seen else
where, nor even heard of, and l will
therefore explain it in a few words.
They landed at n place where trees
grew in abundance; and in n short time
cut off a considerable number of branches
which they tied tightly together with
cords. One end Of n long rope was made
fast round the middle of this bundle,
while the other end was secured t. the
canoe.
The boatmen hen steered for a part OF
the river where the current was strong
and threw the bundle overheard. This
being heavy from its green state, floated
just below the surface of the water, and
in this manner being entirely out of the
influence of the wind, it received the
whole force of the current, and by this
means the was dragged down at a
rate little inferior to that by which we
descended during the calm of tho day

A TOPIC.
Durability or Artificial AIoIars, and other
Gossip About Teeth.

NossiP shD'NN
"How long do false teeth WEAR an ex-
perienced dentist was asked the other
day.
You might as well say, How long
does n suit of clothes WEAR" was the re-
ply. 1T all depends upon the quality of
h teeth ard the care of the person who
uses them. If a woman bites thread with
her artificial molars they are likely to be
ruined in a week. On the other hand, |
know persons who have worn the same
sets for twenty ycars, and have never
been compelled TO have them repaired.
Sets made OF the best material and in the
best manner should last a lifetime, with
proper care
what is the proper care OF false
teetllg"
Both the plate and the crowns should
be removed from the mouth and cleansed
every night and morning."
"Do artificial teeth decay"
"No; they are all made of porcelain,
which is not subject to decay as the nat
ural bone is, But. at the same time, por-
celain is more brittle than bone, and hence
an artificial tooth will not stand many
hard knocks"
"What is the difference in the durabil-
ity of high priced and cheap teeth?"
THAT is a difficult question. Cheap
teeth are made Of a material that bears
the same relation to that of the best
teeth that n common stone china plate
does to a Sevres vase. Cheap teeth look
like glazed china, and that is about all
hat some of them are. Now, so long as
the glaze lasts, the teeth are rs strong as
those made of the costliest material; and
l have known a set costing next 10 moth
ing to perform service for many years.
They are not quite SO brittle, in fact, as
those made of the finest porcelain. But
the chief superiority of Ii latter lies in
their shape and appearance and in the
exactitude with which they are fitted to
the gums"
what is the best sort of platter"
zone made of gold. But black rubber
is just about as durable, only it is harder
to keep perfectly clean"
care complete sets of artificial teeth
not uncommon
Partial sets are more frequently seen,
but complete sets are by no means I'M
usual"
"Who wear the most false teeth-men
or women"
"Women, by long odds. don't think
the result is due alone to vanity, how
ever, although that may have something
to do with it. The chief reason is that
the natural teeth of women are not as
good and strong as those of men, and,
therefore, have to be more frequently
replaced by artificial teeth" Boston

ANOTHER DIVISION WANTED.

Complaints continue to be heard on all
sides regarding the ineficiency of the
mail service on the | Mon Pacific road
since the Inauguration of the fast mail,
says the Omaha World Herald. These
complaints come from points along the
line of this railway in Nebraska, WON
ing, Utah and Idaho. indicating a state of
affairs that should at once be inquired
into by the authorities at Washington.
TIE CHEYENNE LEADER of recent date
says, concerning the system now in
vogue:
Why so many letters aud papers mailed
at eastern points and having their desti
nation at Cheyenne should reach here
from the west, showing a delay of from
one to two days in time of transit, has
been for some time a mystery to the Chey-
Emit public. AT all Wyoming points
along the line of the Union Pacific. the
same complaints rave been made, and
since the establishment OF the through
fast mail service they have been notice
able, numerous and aggravated.
IF any part of governmental institutions
should take precedence over another, that
part is The railway mail service. Any mis-
management in this department creates
disturbance not only in the mercantile,
but also in the social world-all classes
are affected: the merchant, the artisan,
the farmer. There is no reason why i'm
portant business letters should be delayed
and the newspaper should reach its dcs-
~tin1tIon on time as we'll. But according
to all information letters as well as papers
are carried past their destination, and re-
turn after many days.
A study of the situation shows that
these delays are are easy of explanation
Briefly, Superintendent White. of the
Sixth division, is attempting to do too
much for the money. Referring to the
report Of General Superintendent of the
Railway Mail Service Bancroft. of 1888.
we find the Union Pacific road postofice
doing more work with a less number OF
IN n than any other.
Chief Clerk Cramer Of this city re.
Gently visited Chicago to consult with
Superintendent White in regard to put
ung on announcer crew OF men oet"eeu
Omaha and Cheyenne, but the five crews
are still doing the work.
What is demanded, and what must
sooner or later be done, is to establish q
new division at Omaha. This city is TO
be the greatest railroad center west of
Chicago, so far as the railway mail ser.
vice is concerned. and we can consistently
ask for a division mere. The fact that
over l5e men IRE now under the charge
of the chief clerk at this place, is enough
to Justify Omaha asking for the twelfth
division. Superintendent White, would
of course, oppose this, but the people
who are Inconvenience by the wretched
service now given them. demand it..

"There are plenty of people moldering

were buried before life became extinct,
but they were never made aware of the
fact. Collins nowadays are Theoretically

amount of oxygen before the heart will
begin to act, and one full inhalation
would exhaust all of the oxygen in a
modern casket, and the lungs would, of
course, be unable to take another. All
these stories of fearful sufferings endured
by persons buried alive are false; there's
nothing to them.

would not be the case if everybody knew

dozen members OF the house who are per

extremely important bill which occupied
an hour aud fifty minutes in its rapid
reading. 1t is somewhat surprising thai
such an important bill should have been

No matter what the merits Of the meas

How Barnum outwltted the Canadians.

~
"Do you know why p. T. Barnum is
unpopular in Canada?' asked a theatrical
agent. Il will tell you. There is a heavy
duty on posters in Canada, and the shsw-
man who takes a large quantity of print
ed matter into the Dominion is under an
enormous expense. Barnum determined
to avoid the eXaction. He planned a
Canadian tour for 1886, and two years
before he sent tons of posters to Canada
and neglected to pay the duty. The stuff
laid in the custom house without being
called for, and at last the officials decided
to advertise it for sale at auction. Bar
mum sent an agent to the sale to buy up
the show bills, and he did so at a bar
gain. The secret leaked out, and that's
the reason the patriotic citizens of Can
ada are down on Barnum. Rochester
