Pictures In Stones.

Shakespeare could find tongues in
trees. books in the running brooks, Ser
mons in stones and good in everything"
but he fails to mention the possibility
of finding picture drawn by nature in
q stone. In several of the ancient as
well as modern scientific journals we
read of lines and markings in certain
stone formations, particularly agates.
which bear striking resemblances to
the outlines of men, animals, land
scapes, etc. One of those curiosities now
preserved in the museum of the vat
lean is is perfect likeness of a crowned
king. Many of the representations are
SO lifelike that they have been mistaken
for medallion portraits We read ac-
counts of several of these wonders in
'Albertus- One plainly shows q man in
the attitude of running; another is q
perfect figure of the good st. Jerome,
but the most remarkable of all is an
agate containing a representation of
Apollo surrounded by the Nine MUSES..
The Bresford-H Hope collection in the
South Kensington Museum, London,
contains scores of these curious picture
,stones.-St- Louis Republic.

The crop of narcissi this year was
enormous. As many as twenty-seyen
tonsof these flowers were shipped tc
the London market in one day.
The distance from the isles to London
is three hundred and twenty-eight
miles. The flowers are all shipped by

Ancient Dentistry.

The practice of dentistry is Of great an
tiquity, for, as early as 500 3. c., gold
was used for stopping teeth and gold
wire was employed to hold artificial
teeth in position, and II does not seem
then to have been new art. Herodotus
declared that the Egyptians had a
knowledge of the diseases of the teeth
and their treatment. In the writings
of Martial first century, a man is men
toned as either stopping or extracting
teeth. The date Of the introduction Of
artificial teeth into England or Europe
is uncertain. They came to America
from England, but just when it is diff
cult to determine. .'The Mathematical
Jewel" published 1885, contains an ac-
count of Sir John Blagrave, '.who
caused all his teeth to be drawne out,
and after had q sett OF ivory teeth IN
arayne"

A TOUGH GOOSE STORY.

But the Western Woman, Who Had Also
Seen Queer Things, Believed It.
She was a western woman and had
been entertaining a room full of guests
in an uptown hotel with some extraor-
binary tales.
She had just finished one particularly
wild and woolly border romance, when
young southerner present drawled:
Madam, if anyone else in the world
had told that story I should have been
compelled to doubt it, but, of course, /
can not refuse to believe you.
''Now," he continued, as if by way OF
retaliation, 'syou can not fail to appre-
ciate most unusual occurrence in my
state. The past winter, as you know,
has been unusually severe in the south.
Well, in November, when the wild
geese were flying past us, flock OF
them stopped to drink in one of our
Carolina ponds.
'sBeing so much pleased with the wa.
ter they loitered for day or two. But
one time while they were padding
around sudden cold wave swooped
down without any warning. A crust
of ice formed over the pond in less than
minute, and there were the geese
stuck as fast as if they had been nailed
to board.
For several days the geese-there
must have been a thousand of them
futtered and squawked trying to ex-
tricate themselves, but to no purpose.
The people in the neighborhood
watched their struggles with more or
less curiosity, and finally a ountaineer
and his wife ventured on the ice to cap
ture some of the game.
1.-THE geese made one tremendous eff
fort in unison, and lifted the whole
sheet of ice into the air, slowly flying
away with it. Slowly the ice foe
assembled until it became a mere speck
in the sky and finally disappeared alto
gether. The neighbors are now watch
ing every day when the weather mod.
crates to see the old man his wife drop
from the clouds. y
The western woman looked up at the
speaker and remarked: well, that
certainly does seem Incredible, but ]
don't doubt it, for I've seen too many
queer things myself. N. Y. Herald.

Illinoi. Urged to Adopt Single Tax.


About year ago q majority of the
citizens OF Hyattsviile, Md, voted to
remove all taxes from buildings and
personal property and to raise the nee
essary municipal revenue from ground
rent alone. A few OF the large land
owners Immediately carried the affair
into court, and upon suffering an adj
verse decision appealed to the supreme
court of the state, which has just de-
clared the new law unconstitutional.
Single taxers and others bent upon tar
reform may learn from this experiences
that the shortest road to . fair trial Of
new tax systems Is the one leading to =
revision Of state constitutions The
people have long since outgrown these
ancient documents, and to continue in
their observance Is simply to say that
Americans are incapable Of self-govern-
ment There Il pending In the New
York legislature . bill which would

ing scheme, will undoubtedly prove the
first step toward more equitable hsscsa-
ments. No community could possibly

one now in vogue, and there Is reasons

time for weeks that he has been seen on
the streets elevated in the daytime.
They have kept a close watch over him
during the canvass; must have relaxed
their vigilance little to-day. Oh,
they're hard lot, that whole Labor
Party as they call Themselves hard
lot" added North's companion, shaking
his head obviously. ''Of course, old
wymer's money is the backbone OF the
concern; everyone knows that he got
up this movement just to foist his
promising son into Office. Couldn't run
on any regular ticket, you see. Work

party leaders are nothing in the world
but q set of worthless demagogues
without thimbleful of brains among
them; and as to all their fine talk about
being the poor mans friends and
looking out for the interests OF
labor versus capital, it's just 50 much
trash and twaddle! can't see that the

.sWell. it is difficult to judge" re-
turned North, with the wise non-com-
initial air eminently becoming his ig-
norance on the subject. sThese things

why, you know. In fact, Il may be said
prominently Of politics, that it is ale
ways the unexpected that happens
We never can tell, until the decisive day
comes. with what skill our opponents
have been massing their forces"
"As to that" returned the other, with
laugh, .'Wymer's party haven't any
forces to mass. Oh, of course they
make some show; but with the better
elements Of the other parties consol-
idated in this independent ticket, and
drawn up in q sort of invincible phalanx
against them, they ought to know that
this municipal fight win prove their
Waterloo. Still, old Wymer's money
has done good many queer things, if
all reports are true; and it may possibly
get Jack into Office"
A sudden turn right here brought
them in sight of the Clement house,
greatly to North's satisfaction. Part
ing from his friendly companion at tho
steps of the hotel, North went up to
his room, whence, a few moments later,
he was summoned to the dining-room
by the harsh music of the gong.

corn for lack Of coal, and coal miners
in Pennsylvania are half starved for
lack of opportunity to work and buy
this very surplus OF corn. it is evident
that the cause and the cure must speed
lily be found and applied If we would
avert the consequences that in al ages
have followed such conditions What.
then, can history tell us Of the causes
that produced like conditions in the
past?
Injudicious and excessive taxation
has made paupers of the Turks, once
so vigorous that Europe's combined
strength scarcely sufficed to turn back
the tide of their invasion. It has pau
perized Spain, once the wealthiest and
most powerful nation of Europe. It
has impoverished Italy, whose sons
once ruled the world. It has driven the
canny Scot and the thrifty German by
thousands from their homes, and made
Irishmen, in spite of their love for old
Erin, aliens and wanderers over the
whole earth It breeds pauperism in
every civilized community on the globe.
1t is to-day in spite Of our national re-
sources and our limitless domain, ex-
hibiting the same tendencies here that
it has produced at all times and in all
places under the sun since civilization
began
There are other wrongs to be righted,

as compared to our barbarous, unequal.
injudicious and injurious modes Of
taxation all other burdens are but q
