GLASS Fniing for Teeth.

Persons who object to the conspicuous
ness OF gold filling when it is placed in
the front teeth may now have their den
fists use y substance which resembles
the teeth so closely in color that its pres.
ence can be detected only by a close and
careful examination. This new filling is
d kind Of glass and is the invention Of a
German. 1t was put on the market only
q short time ago, but it has been used
enough to prove that the idea is a CAPT.
tai one. The glass comes in the form Of
q sand, which is made of nine different
tints. These hues range from q bright
white through various yellows to a kind
Of pale pink. Generally q set of teeth
viii have about the color Of one Of ten
kinds Of sand, but to have the two ex-
actly the same it may be necessary to
mix two shades.-New York Tribune.

4 Fish swallowed Ms watch.

A rather strange as wen rs amusing
incident happened on board the schooner
Emma Clara while at sea Saturday On
her way up from Rockport. They were
well out at sea where the water was
blue and clear and the wind very light
when one Of the passengers discovered
. large fish which is known in those
waters as a linn. following close behind
the boat.
Several Of the boys were o leaning
over the stern admiring the fish, when
one Of them accidentally dropped his
watch overheard out Of his overshirt
pocket. It was . large old fashioned
Swiss silver watch, and when it hit the
water it glanced of sideways and darted
on its voyage to the bottom Of the sea.
hut the linn saw it, and as he Is o fish
that bites at everything that shines, re-
gardless of flavor or taste, opened his

away for twenty-four hours at least.

Bat nr. Parkhurst VIII Not Tank Much
About That GambIing Raid.
NEW YoRK, March 24.-The Rev.
DIR. Parkhurst was very reticent last
night about the failure Of his carefully
organized raid on q gang Of alleged
gamblers on Monday night. OF one
thing he is confident, however, and
that is that his schemes fell through,
not because there was a flaw in the
warrant, but because the gamblers had
been warned in time that a warrant to
raid their place had been issued.

matter yet, but will say this much,'
said DR.. Parkhurst last night. II
knew fully four hours before the time
for the raid to take place hat inform

myself knew about the warrant, and
