Many of these shades are remembered
by number by the trained salesman, but
to remember the whole 5000 would be
out of the question.
1t may be of interest also to know that
these large tooth works at Philadelphia
make a perfectly black tooth for use in
those countries where the teeth are
blackened by the people who regard
themselves as the sine qua non of society
American people lead the world in the
manufacture of teeth and supply every
quarter of the globe with good dentistry.
The success of our American dentists is
in the mouths of the nobility of all ma
tions. In Paris our American minister
is brought into constant social conflict
with an American dentist from Michi-
gan, and one minister resigned because
this dentist played against one of his re-
ceptions in Paris with musicale of his
own. In London, an American dentist
was the only American guest at the mar
riage of the Duke of Fife and the grand
daughter of the queen. His name was
DR.. Evans, and he showed me the card
of invitation one Sunday upon the
Thames and afterward gave me bite
of the wedding cake. When | tell YOU
that Minister Lincoln and stood out
side making a willow whistle in the
churchyard and waiting for Dr. Evans
to come out and give US points on the
wedding, and when tell you that Mr..
Lincoln, Consul New and l, three men
whose names are household words, stood
at the gateway with our dinners in a
large tin pail and saw DR.. Evans, our
American dentist, coming out and lean
ing on the arm of the queen, even going
so far as to unhitch her team from the
fence and drive it around to the front
door and help Victoria in, you will agree
with me that the dentist of our own fair
land is no slouch.
For certain Asiatic countries this big
dental house makes pure white tooth.
This is really as odd looking as the
black. for no human tooth is a pure
white. 1t is as ghastly as a perfectly
white skin. The factory makes one
grade of blue white, or pearl white, in
this country for use among the people
who die their hair dead black or wear
fawnskin wigs. Elderly orphans wear
these teeth, and sInite them together
while smiling on those they love- 1t is
sad to see these frosted cake teeth nes-
ting away among the deep dyed whiskers
of decayed old bachelor or a anewmade
widQwer. These teeth are also used for
gnashing purposes.
Teeth made recently are filed with
.ln,-+ % ,nl- ,Nl-
lifelike, and so artificial teeth can be
made to fool the closest scrutinizer. a
dentist does not listen very closely to
what you say, but as you talk he watches
very carefully to see what sort of teeth
you wear, Just as the bootblack keeps
his eye all the time on the feet of the
people who go by him.
Mr.. Foster was very polite to me
while / was in Atlanta and rendered me
the hospitality of his horse. He has a
horse that has outlived eleven grooms.
He came very near outliving me.
The hen is a biped, indigenous to all
temperate countries, and often tempts
people who wish to make a livelihood
without heavy work to go into the egg
business. Also into the growth Of broilers
for the New York market. Do not try
to raise eggs and broilers in fiat, for
the other tenants might not like it.
Hens need room. If you crowd your
hens they will die off by the score.
This is my third effort in the direction
of supplying the metropolitan market
with eggs and broilers. Generally the
metropolitan market is kind enough to
supply me.
used to have very handsome hen
merry and small book regarding hen
culture, and on a still day, after reading
extensively from the old Greek poets, l
might have been seen temporizing with
sorrel hen and trying to get her to try
sedentary pursuits. In the fall l had
Matched. by means of my new incubator

teacher who boarded at our house, eighty
seven dear little downy chicks, at an e1-

over by colored man who had formerly
