Queer Ears.

On the hbia Of grasshoppers' and
crckets fore legs may be seen bright
shiny spot, oval in fern, which has been
found to be a true ear. Old naturalists
supposed these strange structures helped
in some way to intensity the penetrating,
chirping sounds Of crickets. No one
for moment thought they might be
ears.
Sir John Lubbock and other modern
nsturalists have decided that crickets,
bees, ants aud other little animals shall
not keep their sense organs secret from
us any longer; and although these are
often in the least suspected places, still,
by careful experiments they are sure to
be discovered, as was the cricket's ear.
Some grasshoppers have no ears in their
legs, and as rule these cannot sing. -
81, Nicholas.

No More Artificial Teeth.

Old age is robbed of half its horrors
aud much of its deformity by the brill.
iant discovery of a Moscow dentist. DR..
zuamensky, who, according to pos
sibly over sanguine Russian contempor-
ary, has delighted the civilized world
by his skill in making teeth grow in
toothless gums. After experimenting on
dogs he tried the effects Of his method in
human beings, and the success was COM
plete. The teeth are made OF gutta
percha, porcelain or metal, as may be
desired. The root of the false tooth
has some holes bored in it. Holes are
now bored into the jaw, aud into the
hole the false tooth is stuck as is nail
IN wood. In a short time a tender
growth starts up the cavity OF the false
tooth, and this growth hardening the
tooth becomes fixed in position. These
new teeth can, according to the inventor,
be placed in the alveolus Of a natural
tooth, and thus, when diseased tooth
is pulled out metal or porcelain sub
stitute can be inserted in its place, With
out incurriug any risk Of transferring
disease, as happened in Hunters days.
when the apparently sound teeth of poor
persons when transplauted' not in're'
ouently conveyed disease. There are
several minor inconsistencies in this
statement, but it would be ungraciOus to
look such a noble gift in the mouth, es-
pecially as, according to dentists OF au-
tbority. our race is destined eventually
to become edentulous. -Nsfied Press.

Safety in Rapid Ocean travel

The recent fine performances OF some
Of the Atlantic liners has raised again the
question of the safety of ocean racing II
is now clearly established that the FlsS'
incurred by ocean travellers are le''ened
rather than increased by the conditions
Of racing. When vessel is being pushed
70 her utmost limit the spirit of rivalry
becomes infectuous, and every one on
hoard. from the captain to the stoker,
is apt te be eagerly interested in the re-
sult. Every one is working at high ten
sion and the work is full of snap. E7erf
one is on the alert, and excessive Wig
lance is exercised in every department.
Fires are carefully tended and the bear
iugs of the machinery are watched with
unusual care to guard against oyerheat'
inc under the TREMENDOUS friction =
which they are beiag subjected Ih''
redoubled vigilance unqne'tlonaoly les
sens the danger of accidents in the en-
gineers department, but there is still the
liability to collision to be coasidere1.
This danger is never absent from the
mariners calculations, but it IS wen
known fact that vessel going at a hIgd
rate Of speed is more perfectly under the
control Of her helm than one ste1mlng
at lower rate. In this respect apparent
recklessness is often the height OF prI-
dence. Navy captains have often saved
their vessels from disaster by throwing
the throttles wide open, when Stacking
of apeed would have been fatal.-NsS

Then she rang for another boy aud sat

The whole thing had come about so

AN AVERAGE MAN,

a realistic story
Without any gush or glory.
With no sentimental limelight
And no firework display,
Bout poor old ignoramuS
Who was never rich or famous,
And who couldn't ignite the river,
And who worked out by the day.
A very common fellow
Was this E6enezsr Weller.
With the usual share of virtues,
And with vices two or three;
He'd no fatal gift of beauty,
But an average sense of duty.
Neither very good nor evil
Just about like you and me.
And he wed an average woman,
Very nice and very human,
Just about like Ebenezsr.
Neither very good nor bad;
Oft in harmony they'd warble,
Often they would scold and squabb.e,
But they loved each other dear'"
And they couldn't continue mat
Never had enough on Monday
To supply the house till Sunday,
Never made enough in April
To support themselves in May;
II they worked hard in November,
They must work hard in December,
And the coarse bread Of tomorrow
Was the hard work Of to-day.
They worked on, grew gray and graver,
Yet they never made him mayor,
And she pluckei no social honors,
And his wages Stin were small
Then the load Of years grew weighty,
And they died when they were eighty.
And they put them IN tue graveyard,
And they left them there. That's all.

Without any gush or glory

Represents the human CLAM
His the average share of pleasure,
His the average lack of leisure.
His the average Joy and sorrow
OF the common average man.

Poiitsness Was the Only Method by which
H. Cou.d he Reached.

This is what happened, according to
the New York sun, on Nostrand ave
nue. horse-car in Brooklyn a few nights
ago: An inebriated gentleman had
affixed himself TO the rear platform and
vas taking up the whole of it, swaying
and humping from side 10 side, threat
ening at times TO tumble of, and ap-
pearing at other times to contemplate
full length launch down the aisle.
When few of the passengers had got
of, the conductor took this passenger
by the arm and said: There's room for
you now. TO in and sit down
IN not go in and sit down"
You are IN eyerybody's way on the
platform"
IN shtay on the platform"
You'll either sit down or get OF"
I'm nayther do the wan nor the

the car the conductor summoned the
driver. and both of them undertook the
.jcctmcnt OF their obstreperous passen-
ger. lie was a big fellow, and their
attack Sobered him little, for no sooner
would they derach one of his hands
from the rail than be would clutch il
with the other. The scuffiing and the
ak frightened the women and cLilLrcn
in the car. ard every few moments the
intoxicated party would remark: When
buffers says they're goiu' to pit me of l
like to see thin DO it. G'wan now.
Chuck me Of"
At last. in disgust and despair, the
conductor gave up the attempt and
sending the driver forward the Journey
was resumed. When the car was under
way the un -ortunate said 20 the con-
lEctor: "Av you bad threated me like
