A Diamond.set Tooth.

From the st. Paul Pioneer-PreBs.
Some time ago New York paper told Q
story that dentist had inserted Q diamond
In the tooth OF sprightly actress, with
which she dazxled the dudes who nightly
preempted the first rows Of orchestra chairs.
1t remained for st. Paul dentist, DIR.
Ellis, TO actually accomplish this feat. A
short time ago lady with . badly decayed
upper lateral incisor entered his Office, and,
amer examination. the doctor informed her
that the only means Of saving the tooth
would be to substitute gold crown. In q
joking way he referred to the diamond
story, and laughingly suggested that there
was an excellent opportunity to try the ex-
pertinent In her case. To his surprise his
patient, who proved to be an actress, as
sented. DIR. Ellis procured . small sized
brilliant, and embedded 1t in the gold
crown which he built on the remains Of
the natural predecessor.
The actress IL delighted with the result,
and declares that the next gem inserted
shall be carat in weight. The stone is
not conspicuous, and might escape notice
altogether, although ray of artificial light
makes 1t sparkle in q way likely to arouse
curiosity. The actress is the nearest actual
approach to the little girl in the fairy story
from whose mouth gems dropped when
ever she spoke. 1t II hardly probable that
any such fashion will become general,
although an inspection of the jewelled in
cisor shows that the effect is far less
startling than would be expected.

A Silver Floor.

From the New York Star.
Silver floors are properly supposed to
exist only In the imagination ofthe authors
Of" The Arabian Nights" or of poets whose
descriptions are somewhat exaggerated.
But, going the other day into the office Of
Handy Il Harman, dealers in bullion, in
Nassau street, found the floor ofthe room
neatly paved with some hundreds of slabs
Of the shining white metal, each OF them
about the size and shape of an ordinary
brick. Mr.. Parker Handy of the firm in
formed me that thew were assay bars-that
IL To say, silver that had passed through
the United States Assay Office and received
the Government stamp testifying to their
being of the standard fineness and contain
ing each q certain weight of the precious
metal. He tells me that It Is no unusual
thing for the leading bullion houses here
to handle in one day hundreds ofthousands
of ounces of silver. Just for the sake Of
the experience, I took short walk up and
down this silver pavement, but / cannot
say that, outside of its appearance and the
name of the thing, the high priced material
possesses any advantages over the style of
pavement patronized by tie department of
public works.

with the fiat stones the manner Of build.
ing the dam will be as follows: A stone
breaking hammer of six or eight pounds
weight will be required, and with thi.
the stones are broken into long narrow
strips as nearly equal in width and
thickness as possible. These pieces are
placed lengthwise along the sides of the
ditch and firmly bedded so that the
tops are even with each other, and they
will not fall inward. Flat pieces are
then trimmed SO as to fit across the
ditch and lie firmly upon the side pieces
as shown in Fig. l.
This leaves a free channel for the
water, with plenty of room at the sides
for 1t to percolate into the drain. TIC
cover the top joints so that earth will
not drop through, all the fragments are
thrown into the ditch upon the cross
pieces, and if there is plenty of stone to
spare the ditch may be partly filled up
10 within foot of the surface, 80 as not
to interfere with the flowing. 1t is then
filled with the earth taken out in the
digging. A drain made in this way at
the foot Of high slope to cut off the
water from a piece of creek bottom
which was useless marsh nearly thirty
years ago is still diseharging large
and continuous stream of pure clear
water; it is an underground brook, in
fact, and works hydraulic ram, which
has delivered water at the house and
barn to supply all needs since it was
made.
The round stones need different
method. These should be laid in such
manner as to wedge them in the bot
tom of the ditch in the manner shown
in Fig. 3, and throwing other stones

All Materials for Drains.
There are several ways of MAXIM

form; the best kind is the hard slater

pieces which can easily be split o.

will not soften or break down under thu
action of water. The worst are tn,
round waterworn nodules of the hardes
kind OF granite or quartz, which defy
the sledge and are almost impossible X
be broken in the ordinary way. Bu'
these may be reduced to a more man
ageable shape by burning them in 8
heap with coarse wood mixed with
them. When the heap has burned dowr
and the stones are still red hot few
pals of water thrown upon them viii.
cause them to split and bring them int
a more manageable and useful shape.
The drains of stone should not bt
less than ten or twelve inches in width
and made round in the bottom SO thai
the water channel may be kept in the
middle, and the cutting out of the
sides of the ditch will be avoided. Their

AN UNLUCKY DAY,
4 Man Whose Misfortunes Always Come
on the Third Day Of the Week.


on the Third Day Of the Week.
While on that question Of supersti-
ton, which to q smaller or greater de-
gree is impressed in the system of every
man and woman, one Of the most singu-
lar instances I ever saw of strong mind
that was effected by it was in the case of
Q partner of . house whose fame is
worldwide.
The gentleman is the prime mover in
the life of the house, it's energy and
controlling force, and has as fertile a
brain as any man ! know of. He is
what, in the West, would be termed a
hustler or a rustler. In his ordinary,
everyday life, doubt whether he has
any fixed religious convictions, or
dreams much over future punishments
and rewards. And yet never saw a
man who was moro deeply affected by
one superstition. He would do nothing
on Tuesday; that is, more particularly,
he would never commence any thing on
Tuesday, and he would never permit
any business Of his immense estab-
lishment to be commenced on that
day.
The regular routine, of course, went
on, but nothing must be originated on
that day. Sensible, logical and full OF
wit on every other subject, on that
Tuesday business, there was no use for
argument. 1t was set in his creed OF
faith and, singular to say, according
to his statements, all his misfortunes
had ovcrtaken him on Tuesdays.
Whether he simply argued that way,
or whether it was 50 can not say, but
Tuesday was his black day. If he got
in passion on that day woe to the poor
fellow who fell under his hampering
tongue. Generally he was mild; Tues
days prone to quarrel.
l have met other people who have
fixed their dismal superstitions on other
days Of the week, but they all run in
the same groove, a sort of terror of the
day fixed in their imaginations as I'M
holy. All the centuries of civilization
have been unable to remove the ancient
pagan Enthusiastically Citizen.

DON'T.

Don't check the children's laughter, 9
Don't stop their noisy play;
Don't cloud one joyous pleasure
AS through the livelong day
Light hearts ring wild and happy
With childhood's merry tune
Don't speed the coming sorrow
That takes it's place too soon!
Don't carry blue face with you
At eve, as home we stray,
Where loving, leal hearts linger
To drive your cares away;
Remember, there's one waiting
Through trials tried and true
With all in all dependent
On the little things you do.
Don't scold the bird for singing,
And hang him in the shade;
Nor seek to Glad in somber
The dream bright song has made.
Don't close without the window
The mornings rosy gleam-
Its brilliant rays, so sunny,
Will make home brighter seem.
Don't scorn the little Arab
You pass upon the street,
In livery torn and tattered,
With bare, blue boyhOod's feet;
Perchance the whirl Of fortune
That-in strange ways unknown
Yet, makes him money magnate,
May make Arabs Of your ownl
Don't grudge word in kindness
To the stranger passing by,
Nor give to wan and weary
But compassion's paltry sigh;
Perchance the rule that's golden
Will teach, in lesson, too,
What meant the humble Master
We should to others do

on the top to wedge the upper stone
firmly in it's place, and then filling in
with small stone. This upper filling is
important, for otherwise the capstone
may be moved sidewise and one of the
bottom ones fall out of place. In taking
up stone drain which had become
choked it was found that by neglect OF
! this, or by the wrong doing Of it, the
drain had collapsed in many places, and
the carelessness of workman with the
neglect of the employer to oversee and
direct the work properly caused an ex.
pense for repair which was more than
twice the necessary original cost of the
work.
When only coarse gravel is to be pro.
cured very good drains may be made in
this way. The ditch is dug narrow, not
more than six inches wide, or even less,
at the bottom; the largest stone il.
thrown in first, and Is covered with the
smaller stone, which is trampled firmly
with the feet The more firmly the tor
gravel is laid the safer will be the drain.
A drain of this kind will carry a large
quantity of water, and will last indefi-
nitely, but the precaution to make the
bottom of the drain hollow in the mid
die to keep the water from cutting the
sides must not be neglected.
With all these drains, as the earth
covering is not more than foot thick,
the surface water should be kept from
sinking directly into them, by which
the soil would be washed down into the
drain. To prevent this the soil should
be we'll rounded on the surface and kept
so, If it is possible, by blowing the land
suitably; at least this should be done for
a few years, until the earth becomes
consolidated and firm. 1t is a good plan
when field has been drained to seed it
with grass for few years. The grass
does we'll on newly-drained land, and if
it has been very wet it will require this
time for the water to find its way to the
drains from the intermediate ground:
after which the land will be full OF
small waterways and quite spongy, Sc
that the heaviest rain will sink at once
into the soil and find it's way into the
drains in a very short time, often not
longer than three or four hours.-N. Y.
