The Tooth of the Fool.

Has the fool better teeth than the
wise manp asks the PaU Mall Budget.
He ought TO have, if the theory put
forward by the president of the British
Dental association to account for the
deterioration of the British tooth be
correct. Smith Turner says:
Another competitor with the teeth
for sustenance is the brain. Phosphorus
is one of the great essentials to the
center of the nervous system. In star
walton certain organs are the latest to
suffer and are nourished and sustained
at the expense of the rest of the body.
One Of these organs is notably the
brain. and so we are entitled to infer
that in any deficiency of the phosphates
the ever active brain. with its copious
circulation and energetic metaboism,
is more likely to appropriate its full.
or approximately full, share Of the
phosphates than are the teeth. where
hitherto we had hardly looked for the
catabolic process"
1t is. at any rate, some satisfaction
to reflect that if the world is becoming
more tOOthless it is at the same time
becoming more wise. But will not the
phrase 'wisdom tooth" want amend
ing if progress in wisdom entails not
the gain Of teeth, but the loss of themP

How Mail Cars are Manned.

Nearly every railroad in the United
States carries, ut least once dav. one
or more men whose business it is to
receive sort, and deliver the mail
gathered at the towns along or near
that road.
If tn little work to be done, one
man alone, in small room
built part of the baggage-car
or SIN car. As the business in
creaseS, Two or more men work to-
gether, having a whole car for their
accommodation. This car is drawn
directly behind the engine, so that
there shall be no occasion for any pass
ing through it. With still more bust
ness, between the large cities, two or
more cars are run; until between New
York and ChicagG we have whole
train run exclusively for mail service,
made up Of five cars and worked by
twenty men. A line of railroad be-
tween two cities, used in this way, for
sorting the mail, is called ''R. P. o."
1. e., Railway Post Office" and there
is an immense number of such in the
country, taking their names from the
chief offices on the line.
OuCII dIO Vie bOSIUu anu hlDdH1y
Boston, Springfield, and New York, ;"
Portland and Island Pond, " Chicago
and Cedar Rapids" and many hundred
others. The runs vary greatly in
length, ranging from twenty miles to
as high as thousand miles. The ex-
tremely long runs, with the exception
of the New York and Chicago" are
found only in the West, where there
are great distances between the cities.
On such run there will be two or
more men, one crew sleeping while
the other works. The New York
and Chicago" is divided into three sec
tons. On this run, the twenty men
who start out from New York are re-
lieved by as many more at Syracuse,
and these in turn are relieved at Cleve-
land by another company who take
the train into Chicago. As a general
thing, however, run is planned to be
about the distance which can be COW
cred in a day.
On all the more important lines there
are two sets Of men, one for day, one
for night service. If the run is a short
one with but little mail, one man does
the work alone. running every day.
and usually having several hours to
rest at one end of the road or the
other. Where the run is long enough,
so that the trip takes all day, there
will be four sets of men. One man,
or set of men. starts at one end of the
run, and covers the entire line, meet
ing the other somewhere on the route,
and returning the next day. When
these men have worked a week, they
90 home to rest week, and others
take their place. Such is the arduous
nature of the work, the strain to mind
and body, and particularly to eyesight,
from working all day long in the con-
slant jar and rattle, that few men
would be able to retain a place were it
not for these periods of rest.-Ma1

tial that no future Legislature will

Extreme partisanship in their arrar &C.

sense OF fairness among the people that

party suffrage. Partisanship is not to
Kings where principal is at stake; but
craftsmanship which would take from
the people their just representation, as
in the case of the congressional reds

abuse of the power which the people

"A few days later the owner of the

that he was a confiscated horse, and
refused to give him up. Then the
owner went to Secretary Stanton for

objected to the reading and printing In

that if one Senator was permitted to in
augurate this practice every other
Senator would be hauled over the Goals
by his constituents for not securing
similar prominence to their petitions,

States to return to Mexico the
trophies of war captured from her
armies in the Mexican war
Whatever sentiment might prevail
among citizens of the United States in
regard to the justice or injustice of that

public sentiment would acquiesce in
the return of these war trophies as a
graceful act to sister republic, next
