NEWSPAPERS APPRECIATED.

A New Hampshire Man Who Believes In
the Periodical for tho Library.
There is a man in New Hampshire
named William C. Todd, who holds to
the theory that he is benefting his fell
low creatures when he puts abundant
supplies of newspapers within their
reach. He lately. provided for an.expend-
iture of two thousand dollars year for
newspapers for the Boston public Ii
brary, says Harper's Weekly, and it
has since been discovered that he re-
Gently made similar provision for the
public library of Newburyport. He
belives in the value of newspapers,
and yet it seems that he is not pat
ent-medicine, man as one might sup
pose, but retired schoolmaster, who
has been great traveller, and now
pursues life of studious retirement
in village. In extenuation OF his ac-
ton he declares that the press has be-
come the great agency by which in
formation is diffused and the people
are educated, and that free reading
rooms are likely to be more in demand
in the future than free Libraries. It is in
teresting to notice that he seems not to
have suffered from the newspaper pub
licity about which there is so much COM
plant, and that even his neighbors in
Atkinson, where he lives, were found
to possess scarcely any reliable infor-
nation about his past career or the
size of his fortune. They knew him
to be frugal in his personal habits and
generous in his benefactions, but that

A CAT WITH FALSE TEETH.
Feat OF . Young Dentist Who Had
Kind Heart.

Feat OF . Young Dentist Who Had .
Kind Heart.
The cat that owned the false teeth
had lost his own, and had his jaw
broken besides by drunken wretch
who beat him with cobble stone.
With great care, the poor animal final
ly recovered, says Harper's Young Peo-
pie. but he had to be fed with little
milk In spoon for long time. When
able to pursue his ordinary business OF
catching rats and mice, he could not
eat them, because he had no teeth to
chew with. Something must be done
for him, for life supported on "spoon
vittles'' was burden, and young
dentist in the neighborhood, who had
become greatly interested in the un-
fortunate cat, resolved to try the ex-
preiment of making him set Of false
teeth.
Taking the cast Of the plate was
terrible piece of work, as Captain OBJ
jected to it with all his might, but it
was nothing to what followed when
the teeth were fairly in. If the ami
NAL had plunged and scratched while
the plate was being fitted, he acted
like mad thing when it was firmly
attached to his jaw-although it was
well made, and fitted perfectly. He
could not understand that it would en-
able him to continue the luxurious
feasts to which he had been accus-
toned, and for several days he was
furious over it. Every possible and
impossible scheme was tried to get the
uncomfortable thing out of his mouth;
he tore at it with his claws, he shook
his head violently to make it drop out,
he butted against heavy pieces of
furniture, and if anyone came near
him he growled and scratched at them.
There seemed to be danger of his
going mad, and his friends were sorcly
puzzled to know what to do with him,
when, greatly to their relief, he
Gained down, and appeared to have
come to the conclusion that his new
possession was, after all, blessing in
disguise. He was once more gentle
and affectionate, as he had been pre-
vious to his misfortune; and the plate
was now often taken out between
meals and put back again. In this
way it was worn comfortably for over
| year.

sional etiquette alone prevented him
from asking the customer, who weighed
about 1s0 pounds, if he thought he
would survive after so much skipping.
Another prescription caused the pa
tient himself to laugh when he read
the doctors directions, which were:

communications are often brought to
the druggist. A woman handed a slip
to clerk recently, and said: "Gimme
ten cents worth of that" The clerk
read, s'Grocer's Supplement" II guess

that he was in no mood for nonsense.
But the stranger showed the bill back,
rejoined in earnest tones that he
meant business; that he couldn't get
any conductor on horse car to change
the bill; that he had already been put
off three cars; that his boots were aw-
full tight, and that unless he could get
a dollar on the bill he would be COM
PEELED to walk to the Battery. Well,
the pawnbroker couldn't but feel that
the stranger meant what he said. So he

Tho Chin ESQ Tea Trade.

Alarmed by the rapid extension Of
the use of Indian teas in Europe and
the consequent decline Of the demand
for the Chinese leaf, the Pelzin authori-
ties have just issued proclamation
against the manufacture of what is
significantly styled in the document as
''lie'' tea. The proclamation points
out that this scandalous practice has
contributed more than anything else
to bring about the wane of the Chinese
tea trade, and it declares that the au-
thorities are determined to put stop
to it. People are warned not to make
any tea excepting OF the genuine tea
leaves, and if any person is discovered
infringing this order he will be pun
ished by transportation for life PEN
atty which will he extended also to the
seller and to the buyer, Is we'll rs to

the placing Of adulterated ten upon
the market.

Tailors' Dummies.

Wax figures are slowly disappearing
as advertising agencies. The cheap
tailors use figures of wire with heads
of plaster and papier mache, and the
cheap dentists have taken in some OF
their horrible heads with staring eyes
and teeth that were gnashed by ma
chinery. The effect of summer sun on
a few of the wax figures that are still
used in shop windows is ghastly.
There is one figure of woman whose
arm is dropping into half-circle, and
there is tailor's dummy whose fore
head is falling into his eyes, giving
him very malign expression. In q
certain farce comedy a loud laugh is
raised at an incident in tailor's shop.
A comedian undertakes to sing "White
Wings" when one of the dummies that
has been standing stifay against the
wall moves forward with clasped
hands, makes gesture of agonized en-
treaty, and walks off like an autom-
atom. The singer stops.

So the teller hastened outside, escorted
him into the presidents room, and in

remarked that it was q fine day. Well.

one of the clerks was directed to pro-

receiving teller took him back into the
