Teeth and Hair Not Indispensable.

EuWaru r JACKSON in North American Review.
With US there is, to say the least. strong
and decided prejudice in favor of luxuriant
tresses and pearly teeth. BUTT is only q prej1-

lack OF beauty in the infants naked. ROSY SCALP

see kind of majestic beauty in the ivory dome

however soft and silky, lustrous, brown or
golden. Birds had teeth once; how should we
welcome a prospect of the return, retrogres-
zion. to their former semi-reptilian condition?
Would you think your canary or your brilliant
hued cockatoo improved in its appearance if the
smooth, even edges of its bill were garnished
with saws of pearly teeth like little feathered
and winged alligator? The possession of n
full complement of teeth has ALWAYS been re-
garded as an indispensable condition Of perfect
health. To our prehistoric ancestors. who had
no other grain mills than their molarJ it must
have been 40. and the modern soldier in active
service would find his bareback and leathery
salt beef rather unsatisfactory fare without the
dental integrity which the examining surgeon

improving science OF cookery supplies the rem
edy for the civilian, and, "a to tie soldier, he
is, like his teeth, relic of undeveloped civil
ization. The dogs of war" must 60, teeth and
all. Experience has demonstrated that the
luxurious diet Of civilization, which gives 20
little for the teeth to do, is, on the whole more
conducive to vitality and longevity than the
hard fare OF savagery. Long before toothless
gums shall have become the rule all occasion
for teeth will have passed, either for beauty or
use.

Food Wasted in Hotels.

Max O'Rell in North American Review.
The thing which perhaps strikes me most
disagreeably in the American hotel dining room
is the sight Of the tremendous waste of food
that goes on at every meal. No European,
suppose, can fail to be struck with this but to
Frenchman it would naturally be most re-
markable. In France, where, venture TO say
people live as well as anywhere else. if no. bet
ter, there Is q perfect horror of anything like
waste of good food. Ii is to me, therefore, q
repulsive thing to see the wanton manner in
which some Americans will waste at one meal
enough to feed several hungry feliow-creatures
In the large hotels, conducted ON the
American plan, there are rarely fewer
than fifty different dishes on the menu
at dinner time. Every day and at every meal
you may see people order three or four times
as much Of this food as they could under any
circumstances eat. and, picking at and spelling
one dish after another, send the bulk away un-
eaten. / am bound TO say that this practice Is
not only observed in hotels where the charge
is SO much day, but in those conducted on
the European plan-that il to say, where you
pay for everything you order. There notice
that people proceed in much the same vasteful
fashion. It Is evidently not . desire TO have
more than is paid for, but simply bad and
ugly habit. hold that about 500 hungry could
be fed out Of the waste that is going ON e such
large hotels as the Palmer House and the Grand
Pacific Hotel Of Chicago-and have no doubt
such 500 hungry people could easily be found
In Chicago every day.

Jewels Pound In America.

that everything precious in that line was found
only In the Old World. There is. believe.
little mining here for precious gems. but it is
not because we do not have them. Rock

and which is much used in jewelry nos, is
found in large quantities In North Carolina,
Virginia, Georgia and Arkansas. There Is q jes
in Colorado that is equal 10 any ever saw, and

there is q mountain called Mount Mica. out Of
which tourmalines to the value Of 100000

that's the reason why must repulse you
THE only reason why?' he murmured, max
ing terrible effort to get the words over his
lips:
''How can answer such question as that?'
she replied, stamping her foot with ever-in-
creasing anger. II can only say one thing: For
me a married man has no existence-he is not a
man at ALL"
"And if had not had a wife YOU would have
married me, wouldn't you? he stammered out
in tone of apparent despair the words rat
Ting in his throat like the breath of a diving
man, as he reeled backward step or two while
his hands seemed to be cropping behind him for
a support. The wall Of the building in front
Of which they had halted held him up or he
would have gone to the ground.
"How can tell!" answered Sophie, with Just
an apPreciable softening in her manner. 'Can

'Will you not shake hands with me?"
"So, you hurt me too much before" she
answered with q nervous little laugh.
But before she could raise a hand to stay him
Rouskine was on his knees before her, and the

its riShtful purpose and appear in any room in
the house. The seat ia of rush colored in stripes
in dark tones. The back is composed Of slender
upright bars with broader cross-piece at the
top finished with bronze knobs at each end
The seat is as broad and deep as it is low. and
SO much Of good looks and comfort must be-
come popular.

words she burst out into a 1T Of wild, hysteri-

straighiened her beautifully slender figure and

As the word "wife'' fell from Soplhie's lips
Tatisnas voice resounded loud and clear in the
stiffness Of eventide.
She was calling her husband and - he en-

was terrible look in his deep-set eyes-the
same she had seen there years ago when he
wanted to buy the beautiful black mare.
