In London a century ago it was no
uncommon practice on the part of the
''fast men" to drink bumpers to the
health of lady out of her shoe. The
Earl of Cork, in an amusing paper in
The Connoisseur, relates an incident of
this kind, and to carry the compliment
still further he states that the shoe was
ordered to be dressed and served up for
supper.
"The cook set himself seriously to
work upon it. He pulled the upper part
(Which was OF fine damask) into fine
shreds and tossed it up into ragout,
minced the sole, cut the wooden heel
into thin slices, fried them in batter and
placed them round the dish for garnish.
The company testified their affection for
the lady by eating heartily of this ex-
quisite impromptu."

An Old Rosebusl.

AS long ago as the year S22 Hides
helm is mentioned in history. In that
year we are told Louis the Pious, Char
lemagne's son and successor, made it
the seat of the bishopric intended by his
father to be established at the neighbor-
ing town of Elze. Less than century
before Charlemagne had brought the
heather Saxons into subsection and
Christianity was yet new in the land.
Gunther, the first bishop. had been can
on at the cathedral at Reims. Three
years after his elevation to the new
episcopal see he consecrated the first
chapel, naming it in honor of the Virgin
Mary. The chapel is supposed to have
occupied the site under the present
cathedral, where the crypt of the new
church is built.
A pretty rosebush that now clings TO
the outer wall of the cathedral choir is
said by tradition to have grown there
since the days of Louis the Pious him
self. In the Twelfth century, when the
choir and crypt were being enlarged, a
protecting hollow wall was built around
the rosebush, in order that the vine
might continue to grow about the build
ing when the new wall had been COM
pleted. A bit of the old arching may be
seen behind the altar in the crypt. This
is the present voucher for the great age
of the rosebush, and it must be admitted
that many traditions repose upon less
solid Observation-Disclosures Record.

Forest Fires and Mosquitoes in Alaska.

Forest Fires and Mosquitoes in Alaska
Miles and miles of blackened stumps
marked the ravages of forest fires. The
Indian, when resting on his journey and
suffering from mosquitoes, sets fire to
the twigs and leaves around him, Gre
ating smoke which keeps the pest at
n distance, and when refreshed he straps
on his pack and moves along the trail,
of course without extinguishing his fire.
In announcing his approach to friends
at a distance, he sets fire to half dead
spruce or tamarack tree, and the column
of thick, black smoke is the signal, to
be acknowledged in the same manner
by those who see it, so as to direct the
traveller to their camping grounds. In
the summer everything is crisp and dry,
and the timber is saturated with tur-
pentine. The trees left to smolder are
famed into flame by the slightest breeze;
the flames creep among the resinous
trees and spread till whole forests are
destroyed.
These forest fires and the mosquitoes
account for the scarcity of game. Over
the vast untraveled region that we Wis.
tied there was remarkable scarcity of
wild animals. We saw only a few
ground squirrels and some grouse and
ptarmigan. The Indians say that all
the larger animals retreat in summer to
the hilltops, where, exposed to con.
slant breeze, they are free from the tor
ments of insects.-E. j. Glave in Cen.

ARE MusTAcHES ORNAMENTS
A Young Woman Writer Discourscs on
an Important Part of Man.


Why do young men take such pride
in their mustaches? 1t is, l suppose, be-
cause they think mustache is orna-
mental. Is it? Why do men have clean
shaven lips when they could grow mus
taches? And why do men wear half
dozen struggling hairs when they ought
TO have them shaved off? Why will men
continue to spend hours every day in
training the hair ON their upper lip,
when it doesn't Make them look any
more handsome, when IL is annoying to
their sweethearts by scratching their
cheeks, when it prevents a cigar being
smoked more than half through. and
when it shows n horrid propensity for
getting mixed up with the food?
/ don't think mustaches are orna-
mental. The ideal mustache has yet
to be invented. II must not draggle,
nor be used as shield to hide ones bad
teeth, nor be fierce. And oh, it must
not be waxed or loaded! What do men
say Of women who use grease? When
you are enjoying n spoon don't you think
il takes all the romance out of the thing
by having nasty, cosmeticized piece of
hair edge its way against your lips?
And isn't 1t exasperating when your
lover leads his mustache and never tells
You? You go home with your face like
metropolitan extension map and feel
very uncomfortable when father and
mother say there have been lot of smuts
about, for your face has got quite dirty.
No, mustaches are neither useful nor
ornamental. Were man and capa-
BILE Of growing a most luxuriant mus
tache would cut it off. A clean shaven
man looks much the incest. Girls like
beardless face. They are content to
know that whiskers and all the rest
could be there if they were wanted.
You see, a man with mustache is
generally bit of fop, and girls don't
like fops. If q man doesn't keep it
trimmed it gets struggling and ragged;
if he does keep it trimmed then he
appears conceited. He is eternally
twisting it this way, giving it a curl
that way, stroking it and patting it, un-
til he loses all character for manliness.
Now, clean shaven man seems to be
dignifed. Women love dignity. Why
is it they are always so fond of curates
especially high church actors?
Simply because they shave. Women
want in men a smooth, clear cut face
not with great bunch of hair stuck out
under the nose. Whoever heard of the
Greeks having mustaches? Whoever
saw statue of Greek god with a
mustache unless he were an old god and
wore beard as well?
Mustaches are not ornamental, be-
cause they rarely suit the face, because
they are protuberance and hide the
outline of the mouth, and because, with
a mustache, man is frightened to
laugh, as it disarranges it. Only few
women care for them. Men think all
women do. That is a mistake.-"A Fair
Critic" in London Tit-Bits.

FALSE TEETH ARE COMMON.
Artificial Teeth Are So Cheap That Mo-
body Need Iic TonthIess.

body Need Bc Toothless.
1--WE sold 100000 more false teeth
last year than we ever disposed of be-
fore in n twelvemonth," said the man.
ager of the greatest dental supply es-
tablishment in the world to reporter
yesterday. II don't imagine that it was
because people are losing their teeth
more rapidly now than heretofore, al
though it is unquestionably the case that
the enduring quality of the human chew
ing apparatus has become progressively
less from generation to generation in
this country.
at is more the fashion now than il
has ever been in the past to wear false
teeth, partly for the reason that the pub
lie has come to realize what excellent
substitutes they are for real ones, and
partly owing to the fact that eoothless-
ness excites much more disgust than IL
did in old times, when such an affiiction
was commonly observed and was regard
ed as unavoidable.
"1t is very rare to see person now
adays, whether man or woman, visi-
bly, disfigured by the absence of teeth.
Anybody whose grinders fall out will in
nearly every case go to dental surgeon
and procure artificial ones. They don't
cost much. You can get complete
double set from sixteen dollars to sew
enty-ive dollars. Probably fashion
able dentist will charge you the latter
price. His margin of profit is consider
able, inasmuch as the teeth themselves
cost only from fifteen to eighteen cents
apiece. They are made of porcelain, of
kaolin usually, baked in an oven
"For the plates the material best ap-
proved is rubber. The handsomest
plates are made of celluloid, and they
have the advantage of lightness in
weight, but the celluloid does not resist
well the acids with which it comes into
contact in the mouth. Aluminium has
been tried, but it is affected by vinegar
and salt as well as by other substances
that are eaten, the result being the de-
velopment of u salt of aluminium which
is thought to be injurious to the system.
"The enamel of artificial teeth is
composed of metallic oxides, and the
finishing processes to which they are
subjected are so delicate that no two
teeth produced can be made exactly
alike in point of coloring. Among all
the hundreds of thousands of teeth
which we keep in stock probably no two
would match to absolute perfection. But
those that are most nearly alike are put
together so that the eye of nobody but
an expert would detect any difference.
After all natural teeth exhibit marked
dissimilarities in any individual.
"It does not do to make false teeth
look too handsome, lest they appear un-
natural, and dental surgeons commonly
carry their imitation of nature so far as
to make teeth in many instances look
more or less defective, the better to
carry out the deception. Washington
