LUCY HooPER's LAST LETTER.
Her Farewell to Her Readers TN Anticipa
tion of Her Speedy Death.

Her Farewell to Her Readers In Anticipa-
tion of Her Speedy Death.
Two days before the death of Lucy
II. Hooper, which occurred a few weeks
ago in Paris, she dictated the following
letter to the Philadelphia Telegraph,
with which paper she had long CORE
sponded:
s'And now, my kind and patient read
ers, must stop and lay down my pen
forever. By the time these lines APP
pear the author, who has dictated
them to her amanuensis and dear
daughter, will be called beyond the
stars. In January would have cele-
brated my silver wedding with profess
sional literature, but the fates have
decided it otherwise and must say
farewell. Other engagements have
changed and varied, but the Evening
Telegraph has been constant for eight
cen years, during which time l never
missed a week in sending my letter. 1t
was always vision of mine to return
one day to my own dear city, Philadel-
phia, to see old friends and old places,
but, like many other aspirations in
this world, that one was destined to be
untitled. To my dear, and loyal, and
firm friend, Mr.. Warburton, whose
kindness to me and mine has been un-
failing and untirinG. and to my many
friends in Philadelphia, and to the
good people who have read my letters,
and though not acquainted with me
personally have written me kind let
- - L., 10,
dear old home, say farewell. Every
one has been kind to me and mine has
been happy life, but it is ended now;
like Tiny Tim in the Christmas Carol,
/ can only say, God bless us every one. :"

DENTISTRY IN PARIS.
Tooth Cnrpentering There Is Great Ref
uge for Quaciss and Impostors.

Tooth Cnrpentering There Is Great Ref
uge for Quacks and Impostors.
It is within living memory, says the
New York Evening Post, that the dem
lists best known to Parisians were
what was called 'arracheurs de dents, y
or tooth drawers, who had chairs on
the Champs Elysees, in which they ex-
tractcd teeth in the presence of large
crowds. 1t was the popular belief
that, in order to support their procla-
nation that the operation was pain
less, as soon as the dentist got his pin
GERS firmly fixed on the tooth, he whis-
pered in the patients ear: 'Canaille.
If you make the faintcst squeak, I'll
break your jaw" The arrival of the
American dentists, forty years ago,
gradually banished these worthless
from the public view, and gave den
tistry the rank of profession, and
made it's processes more humane and
scientific. But dentistry is still in
France great refuge for quaclSs and
impostors, as there is no proper legal
control of the art and no diploma re-
quired for the practice of it. A writer
in the Temps, speaking of this, says
that he went recently to a dentist in a
small town to get relief from tooth
ache. The operator had been highly
recommended to him as very slillful.
When he saw him, however, he recog-
nized him as a retired gendarme whom
he had long known 'sWhere did you
learn dentistry?" he inquired. Selling
his pinccrs, the ex-gendarne replied;
"With this, monsieur, there is no need
of study. 1t is beautiful instrument.
When it once takes hold the tooth has
to come or the jaw gives away. Sit
down and I'll show you" The sufferer
promptly fed.

LETTERS MARKED "RUsH."
An Attempt to Discover Why They Arr
Thus Treated

1t is a legend in the telegraph office
that the sender takes pile of mes
sages, and, sorting out those marked
rush, puts them at the bottom OF the
pile. There is also class OF commu-
nicants that every newspaper Office
knows which marks its letters rush. .
It will never be known just wha'
these writer's expect, says the Mime
,apolis Journal Possibly it is that
when the letter is received by the post
office authorities the wheels of Uncle
Sans mighty engine for the distribu-
ton of mail will stop while the post
master seizes his hat and rushes out TO
deliver the letter personally. II any
body sees the postmaster tearing
across town, break-neck speed, he may
know that the postmaster is deliver
ing rush letter. Usually letter
marked rush" bears a message some
what as follows:
"HAsrY, Mimi, Sept. 1t.-John O.
Montgomery died yesterdayof old age.
He will be seriously missed IN our
beautiful village. John L. johnson
raised potato on his lower forty this
year that weighed eighteen ounces.
Frank Williamson was taken to the in
sane asylum yesterday"
Sometimes man will send letter
marked rush" containing a check or
a postal order. Then it goes to the
business Office and is not opened but
sent to the news editor ON the 'suppo-
sition that it contains news. The news
editor growls at the chump that sent
it and sends it back to the business
Office. And SO letter marked rush"
is usually delayed.

Early Treatment of Smallpox.

1t was several years ago that Gala
vardin drew the attention of French
practitioners to the advantages of
treating smallpox according to the
plan originally suggested and carried
out by John of Goddesdcn and Waters.
The treatment in question consisted
simply in keeping the patients abso-
lutely away from all solar light, and
this solar darkness had to be from first
to last complete and uninterrupted.
otherwise no beneficial results could
be looked for. The same authority has
recently published the results OF his
experience with this method covering

A FORBIDDEN SONG.
The Only Tune 1t Was Not Permissible
to Play In the Dance Hall

The Only Tune 1t Was Not Permissible
to Play In the Dance Hall
l recall an interesting scene in Ar
bour's old dance hall in Silver Cliff in
the winter of 1s7S-79, writes Denver
correspondent. The Silver Cliff excite
ment then ranked only second to that
of Leadville, and thousands were rush
ing to the new Eldorado.
The great dance hall was crowded
with miners, prospectors and tender
feet. Two sets of dances had been on
the floor all evening. Two long rows
of gaming tables had also been run
ming at full blast, and at midnight
there came a lull in the dancing for
llunch. Some of the boys took posses
sion of the platform, and young fell
low dressed in jacket and overalls
threw his SLOUGH hat back on his head
and struck up some familiar tune on
the piano. There were about dozen
in the party who joined in the singing.
Suddenly one of the boys started up
Home, Sweet, Home" The young man
at the piano struck in with an accom-
paniment, and that old-time song of
loved ones and home association began
to fill the great hall. Pop" Arbour
was soon seen rushing toward the or
chestra platform. He had no objec-
ton to Gospel hymns, but entered
protest at Home, Sweet Home"
Don't, boys; don't sing that song
here"
"Why not?" asked one of the boys.
"You will make all of the girls home
sick and break up the dance hall.
Sing any song you want to, but not
.Homa Sweet Home. !"

THE HEIDELBERG TUN OUTCOME
Cask Made at Munich Which Knocks
1t Out OF Sight.
That monster wine vat, the famous
sstun of Heidelberg, . which we have
been Taught from childhood to consider
the most gigantic receptacle for liquid
ever made OF wood and bound with iron
hoops, has at last, says the st. Louis
Republic, been excened in the shape
of giant casl1 built for the Blatner
Brewing company of Munich. The
old Heidelberg tun was built during
the three years ending with 1891. 1t
was composed of oak beams each Q
inches square and 81 feet long, and
had a diameter of even IS feet. The
figures for tho exact weight are want
ing, but the item which tells us that
the iron of the hoops alone weighed
IL 900 pounds is quite suggestive of the
great weight of the vat Nearly 200
years after the first tun was built
second, of much greater proportions,
was constructed. Heidelberg tun No.
2 was SO feet long and "a feet in diane
ter and had capacity of 800 hogs
heads. In 1926 Stretton & Co., the
London brewers constructed beer
vat at their works in Nuremberg
which was 96 feet in diameter and "a
feet deep. The day this stupendous
affair was finished the brewing COM
pany gave dinner to FOG customers,
all of whom were comfortably seated
in the vat.
The Blatner cask, but recently fin
ished, is 105 feet in diameter and 81
feet deep. 1t was inaugurated with
ball in which 275 couples took part,
and at one time, it is said, there were
500 people on the floor of the caslx, not
counting the walters, musicians, etc.
Reside the above no inconsiderable
floor space was taken up by the stage
erected for the orchestra, the two
pianos and fine dining table.

per part Of the belt can also be trimmed
with the passementerie. The sleeves
have a tight lining with two puts and
are trimmed with lace, which fails
over the deep cuff. The low neck is
bordered by lace and az each side there
is a small rosette OF orange ribbon.
The skirt is silk, lined and has either a
light blue or orange balayeuse. The
back has q very full double box pleat.
No seam must appear in the middle Of
the train.
For evening wear the fancy for velvet
trimmings is carried out entirely, from
the satin or leather snOe with velvet
bows TO the opera cloak with collar or
shoulder pieces Of plush or velvet. Cloth
canes with shoulder yOkes or frills edged
with gallon or guipure are also fashion
able but there is always some reSem-
blance TO a double or triple cape, even
ifOnly simulated by the trimming.
For young people, gauZe and spotted
tulle or net is more popular than the
Russian or coarse FISHERS" net, and all
Hack dresses may be described as 'lace
dresses" although quite unlike the deep
lace foupcing which became so afro
ciously common but year or TWO ago.
The lovely piece nets resembling gui-
pure aud point de Venice are used over
colored silks and over black silks with
q colOred stripe or check, these having
a picturesque effect when trimmed with
either moire or velvet Of the same color.
