The Government OF Burmah has lately
published an interesting report by Mr..
Mortified on the prospects of planting in
Mergui. in the extreme south Of Tanas-
serim, in the course of which he corrects
the common error that the black teeth Of
the Malays and Siamese are due t chew
ing betel mixed with lime. Il appears
that the black color of the teeth is due TO
a special process employed for the pur-
pose, for no respectable Siamese would
like to have white dogs teeth, like Chi
nese, Indians inc Europeans. Cocoauut
kernel is carefully charred. aud then
worked 10 a stiff p ste with cocoanut oil.
When carefully and regularly worked
over the teeth this produces the black
varnish which is SO much admired.
Among some Malay tribes IL is consid-
cred the proper thing not only to blacken
the teeth, but to file them down to points
like sharks teeth. A Siamese d Malay
man or woman does not strike a Euro
pean as beautiful When yawning. Lon

Probably some of the readers remem-
Der the beautiful pun that Mr.. Evarts
made at a dinner at Delmonico's some
years ago. In ali the constellation of his
famous puns this is the brightest star.
The dinner taking place about Thanks
giving time, MIR. Eyarts, when he arose to
speak, began III this way
Friends, you have just been having a
turkey stuffed full of sage; now / present
you with a sage stated full of turkey"
1t made nc difference what he said af-
ter that; the best thing he could have said
would have been nothing at all.
But 1t remained for a San francisco
man who is seeking an Office from the
President and VINO has peer in town some
time waiting for 1t to make one of the
best after-dlnner hits of all. He was
called upon TO speak at a banquet recent
ly, and boldly proclaimed that he was af-
ter an office.
And here" he went on, 'I'ye been
four months waiting and waiting and
lowering between the certainty of an APP
pointmeDt or a disappointment"
The late 5. S. Cox, it will be remem-
bered, vas toasted once at a dinner in
he joked too much aud recommended
him in Emerson's language to "hitch his
wagon to a star" He promptly replied
hat he would do SO and that the star
should be Sirius.
Another good pun was MADE by a
Washingtonian who is a literary man and
an lrishman. Being twilted with the
fact hat Ireland had never produced
such a poet as Scotland's Bobbie Burns,
he said that il was true. but tina she had
a Little Washington Star.
