Dentistss Secrets.

A long chapter of dentists secrets
the secrets revealed to them by custom
ers made unconscious but talkative by
gas-has been revealed by a conscience
less tooth puller up in Pittsburg. One
society young lady swore several lines
of blank spaces while q tooth was being
drawn. A burglar taken from Jail to
have a tooth pulled confessed all the de-
tails of his crime when under the ''in-
auence" and parted with 10 years of
liberty. Occasionally men want to fight
and are very strong; others are jolly and
confidential.
The most interesting story Of the series
is this, told by one dentist of another:
II know Of q young dentist who was
head over heels in love with a pretty
girl, but he could never make any head
way with her. He was bashful. That
was the main trouble. One day she
came to him to have q tooth pulled. He
administered gas, and before she revived
she let enough drop to assure my friend
that If he proposed he wouldn't be re-
jected. She is his wife today, and If ii
had not been for the gas I don't suppose
the wedding would ever have come off"

Cotton Factory Experiments.

A system of moistening the air of a
cotton factory-as is required in some
departments of a mill before blowing it
into the rooms-has been the subject Of
much experiment. 1t has been found
that, if a jet of steam or vapor is dis
charged into the main duct any degree
of humidity desired can be obtained, but
all the air is moistened alike, being dis
tributed to the different rooms by the
risers leading thereto. That, however,
which is best adapted for one depart
ment in a cotton mill may not prove
equally favorable for another.
Then, too, the introduction of moist
ure at this point may work disastrously
to the walls of the ducts and risers. 1t
is now found that this objection may be
overcome at a small expense, by carry
ing a steam pipe down through each
room and putting opposite each opening
in the iue, through which the air enters
the room, an outlet with valves for regu-
lating the flow of the steam. In this
way the exhaust steam from the engine
which drives the blower flows into the
room, and being caught up by the cur.
rent of air passing from the fiue is thus
distributed throughout the room. Elk
perience with this plan through cold
weather has proved its peculiar value

TattOOing.


That the old world custom of tattooing
heraldic and other designs upon the
arms, back and chest of men is coming
into fashion here is shown by the pres
ence in the daily papers of advertise
ments offering to tattoo crests, coats of
arms, monograms, ETC., at the clients
residence for the moderate sum of from
$5 to $40. There are a large number of
royal and imperial ~personages in Europe
who are tattooed, the Princess Waldo
mar of Denmark having an anchor tat
tooed ON her shoulder as emblematic of
her husbands ~seafaring profession.
while several well known Parisiennes
have their fair shoulders adorned with
f1owers-de-luce in token Of their mon
archial preferences.
Grand Duke Alexis, the cars brother,
has his entire right arm tattooed from
wrist to shoulder, while the wrist Of
King Oscar of Sweden is not free from
decorations of this character. The reign
ing Duke Of Saxe-C oburg-G otha has his
left arm tattooed, as has also his nephew,
Prince Henry of Prussia, while the Duke
of York has the union jack and st.
Georges ensign indelibly marked on his
forearm.-Vogue.

The story was told by a talkative man

The barber confessed that his face was

''And I don't usually get shaved by
any barber, either"

And when l finally got home it was pref

But she hadn't. She sat with her things
on, and when I saw her I was prepared

of course / told her the usual story about
having to wait.
"'Well,' says she, you won't do nc
more waiting around barber shops while
you and I live together. You al shave
