Singers ought never to use wooden
toothpicks, which are not altogether the
blessing they are said 70 be. On the con-
trary. hold they are quite injurious In
several respects. In examining teeth
find that the wood splinters tear the gums
and effect lodgment between the teeth
which brings about desperate efforts on
the part Of sufferers TO loosen them, caus-
ing serious damage TO the enamel. In
some cases have known persons to be-

teeth alone that bad effects Of wooden
toothpicks are noticed. On the throat as
well they have an injurious effect, and
the soundncss Of vocal organs is often
impaired by the chewing Of the pick.
The wood is crushed into small pieces
which pass down the throat. many Of tho

cur,o.itie. In windsor Castle.

Among the many rare curiosities with
which Windsor castle abounds Is very
antique clock that goes for whole
year when once wound up and keeps
excellent time. 1t is in the Zuccureli
room. which derives its name from the
fact that the walls are hung with mas
terpieces by that artist. Another curio
Is the huge malachite vase in the grand
reception room, which was presented to
the queen by the Emperor Nicholas of
Russia, and which up 10 last year was
the largest in England.
Now, however, Lord Revelstoke is
the possessor of one even larger. The
Windsor vase is made of a mosaic OF
small pieces of malachite SO carefully
fitted together that it is only in good
light that the joints can be seen. The
vase is appropriately placed in the
great north window of the grand recep-
ton room, SO that the light is always
behind il There are two other big
maiachite vases at Windsor, the ono
placed in the Rubens room, and tho
other in the crimson drawing room. =

II is not TO be wondered at that those
women who care for their beauty rather
than for style in their attire should
again and again revert to the idea of in
Producing among English ladies ths
graceful fashions Of ancient Greece.
The flowing draperies and cunning folds
In which the robe of the Athenian lady
was arranged formed the very ideal OF
q suitable attire for women, IL they
studied only the art Of making them
selves appear charming.
That the Greek is really the only mode
Of attire suited to the form feminine ID
sufficiently attested by the fact that no
woman Of taste wishing q life size statue
Of herself to be made would think Of
arraying herself in any other fashion Of
clothing. How would the bodice, short
or long in basque. according to the pre-
vailing style the full straight skirt of
the tiounced petticoat, the tight laced
waist and the peaked shoulders. appear
when chiseled In marble or rendered in
bronze. SO far, however, tho demand
for classic ideals has been made in vain.
The attempts to revive the beautiful
fashions of the Greek women have been
desultory and infrequent, and the few
ladies who have tried the experiment
have either been soon tired by the extra
trouble involved and annoyed by the no
tice they excited. or they have not pos
sessed sufficient social Importance for
their example to be largely followed -

THAT no man is proof against the love

which a physician can expose a man
who is feigning deafness" says DIR. Wal.

be deficient in any one of the senses. and
it Is sometimes necessary to subject him
to an electric shock TO break down bis

Is pretending to be deaf Is approached
from behind while standing on stona
floor or sidewalk and a coin is dropped

sharply around with view to picking
