Advice to a Young Man.

So you were a little too pert, and
spoke without thinking, did you,
my son? And you got picked up
quite suddenly on your statement,
eh? Oh, well, that's all right that
happens to older men than you every
day. have noticed that you have
very positive way of filing a de-
cision where other men state an
opinion, and you frequently make
a positive assertion where older men
merely express a belief. But never
mind; you are young. You will
know less as you grow older. Don't
| mean you will know more?"
Heaven forbid, my boy. No, in
deed; I mean that you will know
less. You will never know more
than you do; never. If you live
to be 10000 years old, you will never
again know as much as you do now.
No hoary-headed sage, whose long
and studious years were spent in
reading men and books, ever knew
as much as boy of your age. A
girl of fifteen knows aboutas much,
but then she gets over it sooner and
more easily. docs it cause pang,
then, to get rid Of early knowledge?'
All, my boy, it does. Pulling eye
teeth and molars will seem like
pleasant recreation alongside of
shedding off great solid slabs and
layers of wisdom and knowledge
that now press upon you like geo.
logical strata. But how are you
to get rid of all this superincum-
bent.wisdom?" Oh, easily enough,
my boy; just keep on airing it;
that's the best way. It won't stand
constant use, and it disintegrates
rapidly on exposure to air.-Bur-
dette in the Brooklyn Eagle.

The Ants Jaw.

The grip of an ants jaw is re-
tanned even after the body has been
bitten off and nothing but the head
remains. This knowledge is pos
sessed by a certain tribe of Indians
inBrazil, who put the ants to very
peculiar use. When the Indian gets
a cash cut in his hand, instead Of
having his hand sewed together, as
is done in this country, he procures
five or six large black ants, and,
holding their heads near the cash,
they bring their jaws together in
biting the flesh, thus bringing the
two sides of the cash together. The
Indians pinch off the bodies of the
ants, and Leave their heads clinging
to the cash, which is held together
until the cash is perfectly healed.

Gold In Dentistry.

The French scientist, Victor Meu-
nier, asserts that the American dem
lists insert in American teeth, each
year the enormous amount of about
1900 pounds of precious metal,
which represents nearly $45O,OOO.
This gold is buried with the person
in whose mouth it is placed. Max
ing allowance for the rapid increase
in the population of the United
States, and for the continued deteri-
oration of American teeth, it would
appear that in less than 100 years the
American cemeteries will contain
larger amount of gold than now ex-
lists in France.-Mining World.

"Then there is a good deal of diff

"Some of our friends may be

"Precisely. I'll bet that several

are acquainted are wearing glass
eyes and the fact has always'escaped
your attention"
"Tell me something about the
business, doctor"
SIN the first place the greater
share of glass eyes, SO called, are
not glass. The best quality of ar
tifcial eyes is manufactured in
America by a process which is kept
absolutely secret. These are the
lightestand best and will last longer.
The Germans also make fine arti-

of stone. The German article is
cheaper than the American. The

"What makes the trade profitable? ?
cpl tell you. One-eyed men are
likely to be rather scarce, and one
would think that having once
stocked up they would buy no more
But this is not the case. An arti'
fetal eye gets to be nuisance after
it has been on duty for two or three
months. Another one has to be
purchased. This explains the rea-
son for the lively trade in these ar
ticles. There'll always be a trade
in them, and good one, too"
"How is it we don't notice a glass
eye in some men?"
Because they know enough to
keep still about the matter and wear
the best eyes obtainable. In this
way, if you notice anything at all
peculiar about their optics you i'm
agine they have squint or are
