Tho Teefhofthe Negro.

The Old-time colored man was noted
for the brilliant whiteness of hi
teeth-a quality which is not inner
tied by his descendants OF the pres
ent day. - Nowadays the teeth OF the
negro do not seem TO be nearly 50
good a those OF h white brother
The reason is to be found in the
change OF food. The slaves had plenty
to eat, but the food given them was
OF the simplest kind. Pork, meal.
potatoes. and such vegetables is they
raised formed their bill Of fare.
Now they eat all sorts OF iniigesti.
bic stuff. out-doing the white people
in this direction, showing a particu-
lar fondness for candies and sweet
meats The consequence is that in

the slave have given place Co the de-
cayed fangs Of the freed man.

Can These Assertions he True?

In England and on the Continent
there are on all trains coaches la
beled ladies only" in addition u
the ordinary and Smokers carriages
AS usual thing these apartments,
intended for the use of timid women
travelling alone, are carefully avoided,
and on the Continent il is not uD-
usual to see women crowding into the
smoking carriages, while the ladies
only" are almost empty. A woman
who travels a good deal tells why she
thinks this is so. Her reasons con-
tain an interesting reflection on fem
iniue human nature.
"When l travel" she said, II like
TO be as comfortable as possible, and
that one cannot be where only women
are. All women are selfish, but they
seldom show it before men, more es-
pecally If the men are strangers;
with their own sex, however, they
have no conjunction. If one wants
on the rack, it is generally so full al
ready that it is no easy matter TO do
So No hand is stretched forth to
make the necessary room. Ii corner
seat is wanted, woman is not likely
to give up her place TO another wo-
man, whereas in compa tment
where the sexes are mixed there is
sure to be some gentleman who will
move his things to accommodate a
lady, and even give UP his seat TO her
if she requires such a sacrifice. Then
there is the window Of the danes
scuIes compartment; ifyou happen To
want it down a little the other oc-
cupants will want it up, and vice
versa: but in another carriage, in
nine cases out of ten. il you are a
woman YOU can generally manage T.
have your own way about the win
dow. / couldn't travel in ladies
only carriage on any account. In.
deed / would sooner get into 4 smok-
ing carriage"

THE love-lorn damsel whose suit
for $40, 900 for breach OF promise OF
marriage was rejected In New York
court may lay her defeat TO the ac-
curate use OF poetry, at the critical
moment, by the opposing lawyer. in
his address 10 the jury. 1t appears
that the lady had never written bill
lets-doux which began more warmly
than "Dear William" or ended more
0ushingly than "Yours sincerely. "
Therefore, said the cunning man OF
law, she could not have loved; and he
quoted some stanzas Of which burn
ing Sappho might have been the au-
thor The young defendant should
present TO his lawyer Handsomely
bound copy OF classic poetry

Immense Cryafals.

IL somebody should fnd diamond
as big as a foot-b ball, his discovery
would hardly be more unexpected
than one which has recently been
made In Utah; relating 10 kind Of
crystals, however, far less precious
than diamonds. The discovery re-
ferred 10 is that OF a deposit Of Sc
lenium found near the Fremont River
in a mound-like elevation formed by
the washing and wearing away OF the
clay and sand surrounding it.
Selenide crystals ara formed from
the rare element selenium, which is
related TO sulphur, and was discovered
in 1917 in the refuse OF sulphuric
acid factory by the celebrated chem
ist, Berzelius.
In its vitreous form selenium is
sometimes employed for optical pur-
poses. Many years ago little medal
lion portraits OF Berzelius were occa-
sionally TO be seen. cast in this SUBJ
stance which he had discovered.
Selenium has been found in small
quantities In native deposits, notably
at Culebras, in Mexico But hitherto
the selenide crystals obtainable have
been small. being measured by
inches and weighed by ounces" Now,
however, they have been obtaiued in
the Utah deposit weighing as much
as thousand pounds.
Many tons Of these crystals have
been taken from the mound. Some
Of them are four and even five feet
in length, with faces six inches
broad. One huge crystal had nine
teen small ones projecting out Of it.
AS far as known this unique deposit
has no rival in the world.

There has been a remarkable revival
of interest in the abandoned farms"
of New England since 80 many mills
closed their doors. A large number
of applications have been made to tho
Massachusetts State Board Of Agri-
culture for its descriptive catalogue
of the abandoned farms of that State.
Il is believed that some OF the men
who are out Of work think Of taking
up farming as means of livelihood.
"But will a mechanic be n successful
farmer?" queries tho New York Tri-

The clover has played nm interestin

The clover has played an interesting
part in many philosophical discussions.
In the old world il is asserted il fails
20 produce seed unless the humblebee
brings it pollen from another flower.
La Pennsylvania the humblebee does
not take this trouble, but Sits the
Ivbs and steals the honeyed sweets
without making any return; but the
New England bee is better behaved
and enters the flower from the mouth,
ss well ordered bee, according to
Darwin, should do.

One of the rules of Canadian mill

office. 1t consisted in little cere-

his trumpet, and then the sergeant ma

How IL Wac Finally Persuaded To Get .

There is q boy i'm Newport who
owns burrO, which meana says the
New York Telegram, that the boy
has no time 20 take vacation. 4
burrO is a cross between mule and
jack rabbit ana has the qualities OF
both under certain circumstances.
Like the latter IL can run fast wear
long ears or stand still in one spot
for long time. Like a mule il goes
and comes at its own pleasure and
not at anyone else's nod and beck.
Its favOrite amusement is 70 stop
suddenly in the middle Of the street
and stand there while an admiripg
thrOng watch the boy try 20 start IL
1t stopped on the Fort Thomas elec-
trio car track the other day, and
after beating IL until he was tired
the boy got off and tried 60 lead il.
But it braced its legs and held back
bTavely. Then he got behind and
tried TO push. 1t never changed its
position. Then he pushed frst on
one side and then on the other, try
ing TO throw il. 1t only spread its
four legs wide apart like those OF Z
saddler's horse. Then the boy took
off the bride, thinking it might Try
TO run away, knowing Itself 70 be
free. The burro smiled at this.
Then the boy gathered lot of
stones and began pelting it. The
burro never tlinched. A man was
sprinkling his yard with a hose near
by, and the boy got him TO squirt
water on the burro. The burrO
laughed and snickered audiblY. Then
the boy pulled a handful OF fresh
grass and held it temptingly in front.
but the burrO only nodded his head
aud leveled his double -barreled head
gear at its master e. Naturally this
excited the crowd. and many were the
words Of encouragement showeTed
upon the boy and the sticks
and yells at the burro, for
the boy ir sort Of public ad-
dress gave them all "leaye at him"
Just at this point an electric car ap-
pGared. 1t came spinning up In the
burro's rear, Changing it's bell noisilY.
for the motOrman recognized the ob
structionist He thought the animal
would get out Of the way Of the
racket. But the burro never moved.
The motorman, not caring to Kill
the beast, stopped the car suddenly,
only giving the burro a hard bump
which made him brace the harder
Then the crowd yelled while an at
tempt was made to start the car
slowly, but the burro only spread his
legs wider and smiled. The passen-
gers then got off, and, two men TAX
ing hold of each leg of the burro, trey
lifted il off the track and sat it down
on the roadside just as if It had been
heavy center table. The boy then
put on the bride aysiS and climbing
aboard trotted the burro of after the
car, wagging his ears as peacefully as
if he had never baked in his life.

Whether Russia gets Villefranche or
not it is safe to say, thinks the New
Yerk Herald, that the Gear has the
earnest intention of securing naval
station of some sort on the Mediter-
ranean either for love or money. "The
report published in the Paris Soir may
possibly be ballon d'essai, but the
fact remains that the Gar is tired of
having his wings clipped in tho Black
Sea, the Dardanelles and the Medite-
ranean, and will eventually secure n
haven for his fleet ia southern waters
and compel Europe to acquiesce by
carrying out his threat to make the
Baltic n Russian lake Russia is too
strong to be cc5ped up much longer
by antiquated treaties. Ii is Russian
principle in diplomacy that treaties
are made simply to be put aside when
the proper time comes. And the time
seems TO be coming"

FARMER IMMIGRANTS WANTED.
The Experiment which an Ohio Capitalist
viii Try i'm Nebraska.

viii Try i'm Nebraska.
A plan for securing farmer immi-
grants has just been put into opera
tion in Nebraska by wealthy Ohio
manufacturer, and il is the under
stand ng OF the South that Governor
Northen, Of Georgia, advocates a
similar experiment in his State.
Some time ago the Ohio man pur-
chased IT,, 600 acres in Nebraska. In
the center of this tract 100 acres are
laid Off for the village site, and in
the center OF this forty acres for a
public park, Facing the park are the
school, church or churches, public
halls, stores, shops, etc, The re-
mainder is cut up into 240 lots of
about half acre each for dwellings
for the farmers, stOrekeepers, me-
chanics and others who may seek
residence in the village. After pro.
viding for the village the rest of the
IL, 600 acres is divided into 100 farms
of about eighty acres each, with
roads so laid out as 70 give each farm
an open highway u the village. 1t
is proposed TO sell these farms on
time, giving ample time TO the pur-
cha-ers TO pay for them, and TO assist
in the building OF the VILLAGE by
helping 10 build the schoolhOuSes
churches ana such other public build
ings rs may be desired. II this idea
is carried out there will be village
OF $50 families of farmers, and per.
haps fifty or more other families OF
storekeepers, mechanics and Others,
say a village OF 200 families, or 1000
people. which would make a consid-
cradle place.
Governor Northen suggests that
land owners form loint stock COM
panies. purchase central tract for
the village, build a church. school,
house. a store, have aposto;iice estab-
lished, and then let those nearest the
village site either build, or IL practi-
cable, move their dwelling 10 the viii
lage site, thus giving il a start III, n

a BRAZILIAN journal makes the
sensible practical suggestion that a
system OF common schools for the
education OF the masses OF the people
is what that country most needs. II
urges the establishment of normal
training schools where teachers may
be prepared for the work that most
needs TO be done. What is thus de-
clared necessity for Brazil is equally
q necessity for all the so-called
Rorlblcs OF South and Central
