HUMAN TEETH AND HAIR.
The Time Il Coming When Both These
Features Will Disappear.

With us there is. to say the least, .
strong and decided prejudice in favor
of luxuriant tresses and pearly teeth,
saws Il writer in the North american
ReUiew. But it is only prejudice. and
by no means universal. We see no
lack OF beauty in the infants nakc'->
rosy scalp. or in its sweet little. tot%u
less mouth. We even see q kind
majestic beauty in the ivory dome III
covers the sage's busy brain. A VII
shining billiard ball is by no. snesIns
unpleasing to the eye, and no one can
fancy its beauty improved by covering
half OF it with coat of hair. however
soft and silky, lustrous. brown or
golden. Birds had teeth once. How
should we welcome prospect OF the
return, retrogression. to their former
semi-reptilian condition! Would you
think your canary or Your brilliant
hued cockatoo improved in its appear
ance if the smooth. even edges of its
bill were garnished with saws OF pear
" teeth. like feathered and winged
alligatorP The possession OF full
complement of teeth has always been
regarded us an indispensable condition
OF perfect health. To our prehistoric
ancestors. who had no other grain mills
than their molars. it must have been
so; 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 so properly in
sists upon. But the constantly improv-
ing science of cookery supplies the
remedy for the civilian. and, rs to the
soldier. he is, like his teeth, a relic Of
undeveloped civilization. The dogs
of war; must go. teeth and all. Ex-
perience has demonstrated that the
luxurious diet of civilization, which
gives so 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.

ItnIx.s Cannclty to Fight.

WASHINGTON, d c., April 6.-1taly
the constitutional monarchy, is nation
which has q different form OF govern
ment than that of most monarchies.
The legislative authority is vested in
the parliament, which is composed OF
the senate and chamber OF deputies
The senate is composed of princess Of
the blood royal and limited number
of persons who have served in high
places or have acquired fame in science,
literary or other pursuits, or pay $500
annually in taxes. They are nomi-
mated by the king for life. The depu-
ties are elected by ballot, every citizen
having a vote who is OF age and can read
and write and pays "a annually in taxes
or who belongs to the learned PROBES
sions or who has served two years in
the army. Deputies receive no pay or
emoluments except the free passage on
boats and railroads. Salaried govern
ment officials, as we'll rs priests are in
eligible. The legislative period Is five
years, unless tho king dissolves parlia-
ment, in which case he must order new
elections within four months. Ministers
can take part in the debate in both
houses, but cannot vote unless they are
members.
The reigning king is Umberto I, born
March IA, 1874, the eldest son OF Wit
torio Emanuele II, who eied in 1878.
The finances OF the nation have been
in bad shape for number Of years, and
there has been an increasing deficit an
nually until nowl the country Is labor
ing under debt Of 81, 1862, 800, 900, or in
other words it is practically bankrupt.
The financial condition together with
the request for increased taxes for the
support Of the army is what caused the
downfall of the Crispi ministry and the
change IN the cabinet, which recently
occurred.
The strength Of the army, including
regular and reserve forces, II total Of
2,765. 1913 men and officers. The total
population Of the nation Is placed In
round numbers at 30, o00, 900 and the
estimated available number Of men
capable OF bearing arms In time Of war
Is I, 500, 900.

ItnlY,s Fighting Ability.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 6.-The
American people have generally an
erroneous idea of the Italian navy.
While il does not contain as many ships
as the navy Of England or that Of
France, it has probably the most gem
orally efficient vessels ahoat. Italy did
not begin to build her new vessels until
the experiments made by other nations
had enabled her to decide upon types
that, even in the light Of more modern
naval construction, are the most formi-
dable in the world. She has, either
finished or we'll advanced, twenty-five
armoured ships. OF these, ten are
modern built, having displacement OF
II, 900 tons or more each. They have q
speed Of more than fifteen and o1e-haf
knots, and carry the heaviest guns
aAOat, namely, Armstrong breech-load-

THE talk OF trouble with Italy draws
attention to the strength Of this nation
in case of need. While the standing
army is simply nucleus around which
10 build an army, the reserve force Of
the nation is estimated at $500, 900 men
who are able bodied and prepared to
Tar arms. This estimate is exclusive
Of the militia OF the several states and
the regular army, which would be 200
600 more. This is the number OF men
at what is known as ''army age"

Following Is the letter Of notification
of withdrawal OF Baron Fava and Secre-
tary Blaine's reply:
ROYAL LEGATION OF ITALY,
WASHINGTON. March 81, 1891.
Mr.. Secretary OF State.
BY my two notes OF the 18th and 18th
inst. ! had the honor OF calling your
excellency's attention to the occurrences
OF exceptional gravity which took place
at New Orleans on the 14th. whereby
four subjects OF the king OF Italy, who
were confined in the prison OF that city,
were massacred by the crowd, under
the leadership Of two American citi-
zens.
After having formally protested
against the unjustifable conduct OF the
local authorities, who were evidently
recreant TO all their duties on that oc-
casion, l reserve to the government Of
his majesty the right to demand such
satisfaction as it might think proper,
since the occurrences in question con-
stituted patent violation OF the stipu-
lations OF the treaty in force between
our two countries which secures to
Italian subjects residing in the United
States the same protection that is en-
joyed by American citizens and which
has ALWAYS been extended to the latter
in italian territory.
The PREPARATION demanded by the
government OF the king, as have had
the honor to inform you, in our inter-
views held during the last few days,
was TO consist Of the following points:
First-The official assurance by the
federal government that the guilty
parties should be brought TO justice.
Second-the recognition, in principle
that an indemnity is due to the relatives
OF the victims.
Your excellency was pleased to de-
clare to me that as the federal govern
ment did not think it could take this
view OF the case, it declined TO take the
two aforesaid demands into considera-
ton. Under these circumstances, the
government OF his majesty, considering
that the legitimate action Of the kings
minister ut Washington becomes in
etficacious, has ordered me to take my
leave.
In obedience to the instructions which
I have received, l have the honor to
announce to your excellency that 1 am
going to leave Washington as speedily
rs possible, leaving the Marquis I'm
periali, his majesty's secretary OF lega-
ton, in charge OF the current business
of the royal legation.
Be pleased to accept, Mr.. Secretary
OF State, the renewed assurance OF my
highest consideration.
FAvA.
His excellency, James G. Blaine, Secrc-
tary OF State, Washington.
