He Was Forgetful.

my husband is the most forget

her visitor, land he was that way
before | married him. Indeed, if it
hadn't been for that l don't think
| should have had him."
Naturally the visitor asked for
the story.
1T was this way" resumed the
lady. "While we were engaged |
asked him to do something for me,
and he forgot it; he forgot it SO
many times that at last we quarreled
about it, and ] became very angry.
Sour engagement ends right
here, | said to him, and | never
want to see you again. Go away
and forget me entirely. | want
you to forget me utterly l repeat
ed for emphasis.
"'Very WE'LL he said, Il will if |
don't forget it, and the earnest way
he said it made me smile in spite
of myself, and, of course, when a
woman smiles on such occasions her
case is lost, and our engagement

Artificial Teeth.

Those who imagine that the care
of the teeth and the replacement of
the natural grinders with false ones
is something new under the sum-"
may be surprised to learn that arti-
fetal teeth were made of ivory,
placed on plates Of the same mater
ial, and held together and in place
by gold wires and revets 500 to
1000 years before Christ. Herod-
otus, "the father of history" tells
us that the Egyptiansof the dynasty
understood the diseases of the teeth
and their treatment. There are
several passages in history to lead
one to the belief that both Caesar
and Antony wore artificial teeth.
The date ofintroduction of artificial
teeth into Europe is uncertain. They
were known in England as early,
at least, as the time of the discovery
of America, The Mathematical
Jewel" published in 1885, contains
an account of Sir John Balgrave,
'who caused all of hys teethe to be
drawne out; and after had q sett of
ivory teethe in agayne."

happened that during his travels he

they seemed to spring out of the
ground. There was something
weird in their appearance, for where
could three thousand wolves come
from in such desert ofsnow? The
party had taken the pig into the
sleigh; his squeals increased the
wolves boldness. They continued
to fire, but they had now used
about half their ammunition, and
had but two hundred cartridges left,
while they were surrounded by three
thousand wolves. The two horns
of the crescent became nearer and
nearer, and threatened to envelop
the party.
IL one Of the horses should have
given out the fate of the whole
party was sealed.
"What do you think of this,
IvanP" said Prince Repnine, speak
ing to the driver.
~ had rather be at home, prince
"Are you afraid of any evil con-
sequences?"
"They have tasted blood, and the
more you fire the more wolves you'll
have"
What do you think is the best
thing to be done?"
Make the horses 20 faster"
"Are you sure Of the horses?"
"Yes, prince"
Are you sure of our safety?"
The driver made no reply. He
quickened the horses and turned
their heads towards home. The
horses few faster than ever. The
driver melted them to increased
speed by sharp whistle, and made
them describe curve which inter-
sected one of the horns Of the cres-
cent. The wolves opened their
ranks and let the horses pass.
The prince was about to raise his
gun to his shoulder.
For heaven sake, don't fire!' ex-
claimed the driver; I'VE are dead
men if you do!'
He obeyed Ivan. The wolves,
astonished by this unexpected act,
remained motionless for q minute.
During this minute the troika was
q verst from them. When the
wolves started again after it, it was
too late, they could not overtake it.
A quarter of an hour afterwards
they were in sight of home. Prince
Repnine thinks his horses ran at
least six miles in these fifteen min.
utes. He rode over the steppe the
next day, and found the bones of
two hundred wolves.

Men who are everything by turns
and nothing long, may possess even
more than average ability, but they
never make life success. As roll
ing stones gather no moss" neither
do these shifty creatures add any
power to their character or wealth
to their store. They are respectable
tramps, always on the move from
one vocation to another, often watt
ing, like Micawber, for something

a Maine farmer had wife who de-
claired she would never be weighed.
One day, when she was in the wagon,
he drove his team onto the hay scales
in Auburn, and had the whole thing
weighed without his wife knowing
what was going on. Then he after
ward came back and had the team
weighed without his wife, and found
it just 225 pounds lighter. So he
had his way, and she had her weigh.

The Work of Bad Negroes.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. ia
special from Bardstown, KY to
the Evening Post says: ain regard
to the affair at the Samuels depot
Saturday night, it is now
rumored that the negroes them
selves are the real perpetrators of
the crime. Evans wife is reported
in town this morning, but
nothing has been developed in re-
gard to the remainder of the family.
Great excitement prevails in the
vicinity of Samuels station, and
the Hall house is surrounded by a
crowd of men with shot guns, and
any attempt on the part of the
negroes to wreak vengeance on
Hall will end disastrOusly.
