TONS OF GOLD IN TEETH.
S2,5OO,0O0 Worth Carried in Quake
City Months.

@H,oOO,OOO Worth Carried In quaker
City Months.
-Four full tons of the purest gold is car
ried around in the mouths of Philadelphia's
100000 inhabitants"
1t was well-known dentists supply man
that revealed this forgotten asset of the
Quaker City, and his formidable array of
figures was sufficient proof that the estimate
is nigh to the fact. ut is not difficult" he
went on. "for US to tell about how much of
the precious metal is yearly ranmed into
the aching teeth of Philadelphia. 1t is
something short of 5000 ounces. Now, the
average length of human life we will say is
thirty-fiye years. Multiply the two together,
and we have an approximation to the sum
total OF gold that an army OF dentists have
placed In the m0lars and bicuspidS of all
those now living in this city. 1t is $3.50
pounds, or about four long tons.
AS to the value of this unfortunately
unavailable wealth it is over 81, 900, OOO The
gold used in the trade is worth about S25 an
ounce, SO that Il years consumption costs
$4,000 Such figures make one feel like I'M
loading his worries of all their treasure and
substituting some less valuable metal"
Your figures are all right" said a promi-
nent Walnut-Street dentist in confirmation
OF the supply mans estimate. And Just
think" he went on, what gold mine
some of our cemeteries are. There must be
500, 600 worth of shining gold in all the
acres OF burial ground about Philadelphia
But the veins are full of flaws, and gold
mining on the body-snatching plan would
hardly be success. "-Philadelphia Record

The residents of that hamlet were shocked

In their deep distress, and left fully believ-
Ing that his patient was as dead as mortal
ever could be.
Preparations were at once made to prepare
the body for burial, and word was sent for

The remains awaited the coming of that
gentleman through Monday until about 6
O'Clock in the evening. when the long-ex-
pected undertaken arrived
As he looked at the corpse he discerned
faint flush upon the cheeks.
He was completely upset and the sur
prised relatives were notified of the Startling
state of affairs.
Like the drowing man grasping at straw,
hope arose in the breasts of rSe orief'

The Way Two Pretty Allegheny Girls
Tried to Intimidate Her.
There is dear, good, pious old lady in
Allegheny who has a grand daughter that
is alike the pride of her heart and the tor
ment of her existence. The old lady looks
upon cards and beer as the most dreadful
things in the world, except a few things
that are 'dreadfuller." The grand daughter
does not share to the same extent the aver
sion to the beer and the cards. She has a
top floor studio where her girl chums are
wont to gather for "high," as they call it.
one evening last week dear old grand
mamma thought she would surprise the girls
by naying them visit in their dens. Ac-
cordinely she invited her chum-another
old grandmother equally as dear and equally
as pious-who had run in to knit awhile, to
mount the stairs with her. Together the
old ladies assembled. The girls heard them
coming, and by the time their sweet lace
covered heads were seen at the door they
had concocted scheme whereby they would
effectually close poor grandmamma's mouth
forever on the subject of beer and cards
Cleveriy they commenced operations on the
innocent. unsuspecting old ladies, and by
dins OF fattery and entreaty they succeeded
In getting them to sit for tlash-light pic
lures.
Very prettily we're the grandmammas ar
ranged at table, which was supposed to
be laid ior tea. Everything was in readi-
ness and the lights were turned out. Then.
as if by magic. the china teacups and
saueers gave way to huge beer mugs; beer
bottles followed, and two piles of poker
chips and deck of cards were most art
sticaliy and naturally arranged The flash
light was turned on; one dear old grand
mamma caught glimpse of the layout
and made desperate effort to save her
reputation by frantic sweep for the poker
chirs. She was caught in the act ty the

light OF the girls, who, with the flashed
pictures in their possession, are quite sure
