Facts About False Teeth.
From Boston Herald.

From Boston Herald.
How long do false teeth wearir an ex-
perieneed dentist was asked the other dav.
y ou might as we'll say: How long does
suit of clothes wear1 " was the reply.
| lit all depends upon the quality of the
teeth and the person who uses them. II a
woman bites thread with her artificial
molars, they are likely to be ruined in o
week. On the other hand, / know persons
who have worn the same sets for twenty
years, ana have never been compelled to
have them repaired. Sets made of the best
material and in the best manner should last
lifetime with proper care"
What is the proper care of false teeth"
Both the plates and the crowns should
be removed from the mouth and cleansed.
every night and morning"
do artificial teeth decayY'
No. They are all made of porcelain,
which is not subject TO decay as the natur-
al bone is. But at the same time porce-
lain is more brittle than bone and hence
an artificial tooth will not stand many
hard knocks"
What is the difference in the durability
of high priced and cheap teeth9"
That is a difficult question. Cheap
teeth are made of material that bears the
relation to that of the best teeth that a
common stone china plate does to Sevres
rass.- ce.-r -a~+s,- ,~~sr a,sre- s.Uzsa eearu
and that is about all that some of them
are. Now, so long as the glaze lasts the
teeth are as strong as those made of the
costliest material, and have known a set
costing next to nothing 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 ofthe
latter lies in their shape and in the exacti-
tnde with which they are fitted to the
gums
what is the best sort of platef"
zone made of gold. But black rubber
is just about as durable, only it is harder
to keep perfectly clean"
"Are complete sets of artificial teetl
not uncommon"
Partial sets are more frequently seen,
but complete sets are by no means unu
sual"

Archie CampbeIrs Courtship.

Many good stories have been told at the
expense OF Archie Campbell, the Irish tay-
| ern keeper who for many years prior to his
/ death, on account Of his odd Characters
/ ties, was the most unique and conspicuous
figure in Reynoldsyille. and among the
/ best of these anecdotes was one frequently
/ related hy the late Garner Wilson 1t told
how Jimmy Waite. a genial aud witty old
Irishman from the "backwOods, " assisted
Archie in securing a wife
At appears that when Archie was a
young man, he came IL the conclusion
that he needed wife, and having previ-
ously devoted all his talents to the acquire
ment of a few thousand dollars, he had
found no time to learn the gentle art of
love. Consequently he set about the task
OF getting a wite in purely matter of fact,
business like way, unmixed with tender
sentiment and glorious day dreams al
though the stars had never shone through
Archie's soul, aud no bright visions of an
angel form, dwelling with hun in the soft
palaces of fairy future, ever haunted his
mind, yet he wanted wife.
lie consulted Jimmy Waite about the
matter, and Jimmy informed him that
Mary Ann kile was just the girl he want
ed. He agreed To take Archie to the Kile
homestead and introduce him, and assist
him in his courtship Together then they
went. neu tney arrived at the house
Mrs kle invited them TO come in and sit
down and Jimmy introduced their delicate
mission in his characteristic style.

"0eh!" exclaimed Mrs. Kile, Mary Ann

can't spare the CARL"
''Mussus Kile," said Jimmy, assuming a
confidential tone and sideing up closer to
her, ''MusSes Kile-Muster Cummell has
more money than all of yes can carry"
'Indade," said Mrs. Kile, 'thin sup
pose we'll have to spare the CARL"
That settled the matter, and Archie and
Jimmy started for home highly elated.
"Archie," said Jimmy, as soon as they
got outside the house, Archie" and he
chucke1 him in the ribs with his thumb,
"Wuth your money and my slack tongue
we could sejuce the word!'
'Egad, that's so, y said Archie, and they
went on their way in high favor with them

Bowstringing.

An article going the rounds of the papers
gives the methods of execution in all the
civilized and half-civilized countries of the
world.
The death by the bowstring is described
as follows:
While executions in Turkey are commonly
conducted by the sword-except in miiitnry
circles, where the gun is used, "a in
England and in this country-the bow
string is not neglected This is an in
stitution peculiarly Turkish, and although
often talked and written about, coinpara-
lively few outside the Moslem domnioas
know anything at oil about il The
executioners with the bowstring are gen
orally deaf mutes. They work in pairs ana
are very expert.
Many of them are dwarfs, ngly, mis-
shappen people, creatures who sesn 10
have been formed by nature expressly Tor
their hideons work. The condemned inan
or woman sits on divan, while the two
mutes approach behind, bearing with ,hom
a stout bow. One of them. bends thr bow
almost double with his strong sineay
arms, while the other, with de2terous
motion of the wrist, casts the loop ol the
bow string around the victims neck, which
has been considerably barred for the
occasion II settles across the lar'ii x tue
bow is released, and the mutes each grasp
a hand of the victim now struggling IN The
throes of strangulation. Motion ceases ia
few seconds, and a moment or two later
the spasmodic action of the muscles tells
that the life has gone out.
The bowstring finds a fitting companion,
as far as refined Oriental cruelty Is con
oerned, in death by strangulation and the
sack, which is yet practiced in some parts
of Turkey, Persia and Syria, and which
was a common method of punishment in
ancient Greece and Rome. The victim,
half or wholly dead, is sewed up in sack,
weighted, and cast into the river
