INSANITY Ills most intimate friends deny this theory
Henry Norcross was never. by those who knew him
hest regarded as even " crank" They admit now
that he somewhat peculiar, but not more so than
nine men out Of ten might meet in a big city.
The apparent discrepancy between the statements OF
Dr. Wells dentist Of this city, and those OF the persons
who examined the teeth in the dynamters head was
partially explained to-day. 1t Is now ascertaned That
Dr Wells never filled any of NorcrOss's teeth but In
December 1881, Dr. Whitney, OF Tremontst., filled
five of tn moar teeth at the rear OF the mouth Dr.
A. J.. Wells. IT., OF Oylston-st, said To-Day Ihough
I never did any professional work for Norcross,
frequently examined his teeth. The two front ones
were much fonger than Is natural. The cupds were
long and pointed, the bicupids long, narrow and
sharp edged All the teeth were delicately formed

TO TIE QUEENS TASTE.

TIiE queens daughters are not only
good needlewomen, but good cooks.
QUEEN VICTORIA has presented rich
" caparisoned Indian elephant 10 the
emperor OF Morocco.
TIE queen of England firmly believes
that objects made by blind people bring
luck. and She has had the cradle for the
young princess Of Battenberg entirely
made 10y blind men and women.
WHEN Queen Victoria dimes ut the
palace, whether in public or private,
the name of every dish put on the table
bears name of the cook who is respon-
sible for it. This sounds rs if her mai
esty was afraid Of being poisoned, but
the cause is not fear, but usage. The
usage dates back to old times and is of
German origin.
QUEEN VICTORIA always takes her
own mattresses with her when she goes
travelling. Thcse mattresses cost ninety
guincas each and the queen is as seRsi-
tive about them Is the princess OF
crumbled rosc-leaf fame. Not long ago
one of them was made about half an
inch thinner than usual. aud her majo5-
ty detected the difference at once and
had IL altered.
QUEEN NICroRIA's table linen is all
made by hand. Her tablecloths have
the star of the garter in the center, with
the royal arms. On the large ravs OF
the star are woven the names of the
greater dependencies of the crown. and
the lesser names are on the lesser rays
A beautiful wreath Of rose, shamrock
and thistle intertwincd about the crown
imperial is woven in each Of the corners.

CoNCsRNlNG CHEWING GUM.

The Most of 1t Contains Paraffine Wax.
which L. Very Injurious
The fine distinctions required by legal
definitions frequently threaten confu-
sion, even when the facts appear to be
perfectly Gear. There il no room for
doubling the Inconvenience and danger
which may arise from the accumulation
of n mass of paraffinc wax in the intes-
tines: and yet when any legal intcrfer-
ence with the sale of chewing gum, con-
tanning fifty per cent of this substance,
i attempted, the charming uncertain
ties and quibblcs which arise are more
amusing than cdifying, says London
Lancet. In a recent prosecution at the
IIanley borough police court il was
first contended that the fourteenth see
ton of the food and drugs act, which re-
latcs to the division of the substance in
the presence of the seller at the time of
purchase, had not beer complied with
Then il was submitted that the article
was not one of food, since it was sold
simply for chewing. Then it was sug-
gcsted that rs sweets are So utterly in
definite in their composition, it was inn
possible to deal with them as ordinary
articles of food. And the climax was
reached in the contention that IL was
not sold to the prejudice of the pur-
chaser, as the complainant said he did
not intend to eat il. This was extreme
~ ingeusous, but the purchaser hap
pened TO be the inspector of nuisances,
who was merely collecting evidence
Tie ease ended for the present with the
imposition of fine, on the ground that
the substance was sold To the prejudice
of the purchaser, inasmuch as it was
not in the nature OF the substance and
quality of the article demanded by the
purchaser. who asked for gum and got
parafline wax. If the case is ever taken
To a higher court it is quite possible that
II may be argued that the complainant
did not ask for gum" but for chewing
gums" that he did not get ''paraffine
wax" but only fifty per cent. of par
ailinc wax" and tire remaining fifty per
cent. of unknown ingredients which
sufficiently bring the substance within
the legal meaning of chewing gum
But what is Chewing gum?" The fol-
lowing definition might be suggested
substance of very variable compost
tion, ignorantly employed by children,
which, when containing paraffine wax,
may lead To very grave dangers, and the
sale of which should be prohibited

SIMPLE SENSIBLE REMEDIES.

For neuralgia, bruise hDrse-radish
and apply as poultriee to the wrist.
WHITE onions, eaten raw, are more
and more recommended as a cure for
insomnia
ANYTHING that sets the blood in act
i've Notwithstanding a buclxsaw-
viii break up a cold.
GEN. LEW WALLACE says that poul-
tice of mustard and garlic applied TO
the soles of the feet will cure rheuma-
tism in one night.
WHEN cold water is craved (although
cold water really interferes with diges-
tion), it should be boiled and filtered,
and cooled in bottles on ice.
For stiff neck, sore throat pains in the
chest, good remedy is TO rub some oil
or vaseline into the skin, then cover
with apiece of cotton wadding, the shiny
side outward, and wear till the dis
comfort is gone.
