A Dentist Talks,

'I'd rather have three women pa
tients than one man" said q we'll
known practitioner in dentistry.
"They show without doubt far
greater amount of courage and pa
thence under the often excruciating
tortures of the drill and forceps than
men,"
"Have they more pluck?"
'1ndeed they have. Dozens of my
women patients could mention who
undergo the most acute agony almost
without vince, while I find that the
majority of men are absolute towards
in the operating chair, and the very
sight of the instruments is often
enough to make some great, big,
strong fellow pale with nervousness.
"Men always demand gas when their
teeth are to be extracted; on the other
hand 1 have seen fragile-looking wo-
men refuse gas and sit down calmly in
n chair and submit TO the otherwise
unavoidable painful process of extrac-
tion without murmur.
(Which has the best teeth?"
"Well, / think women are more apt
to attend strictly to their teeth, where
as the average man is too busy to stop
for dentistry until the stern necessity
of pain causes them to do so. Tobacco
is as great an evil with men as candy
and sweets with women.
"Whom do consider the best pay2
Well, / can very truly state that l
have never lost penny of money
owed me by n woman. Oftentimes l
have been warned by my brother dfn-
lists not to have actresses as patients,
but they have never failed to pay me.
In some cases it was two years after l
had done work for an actress that |
received the money all the way from
England, explaining that circum-
stances had rendered it impossible for
her to pay before then. st. Louis

A physician maintains in the Medi-
cal Journal that it is not poverty of
diet SO much rs monotony of diet that
exercises an unhealthful influence on
the poor. As matter of fact they eat
NAgonger" food than the rich, more
bread, meat and simple vegetables, but
their cooking is rude, and they eat the
same things the whole year through.
People who are well to do, or who are
better cooks, get more variety with
fewer things, and always have some
thing to tempt the appetite. Soup
can be made to resemble greasy dish
water, or it can be made really savory
and nutritious thing, and there are a
hundred different ways of serving pota-
toes. The physician thinks that free
cooking schools would be first rate
thing in the tenement districts.

A Queer Horned Snake.

Some time during the first or second
week of June of the present year, the
children of Mr.. Sol Benson IA well
known farmer who lives seven miles
north of Knoxville, Iowa, and whose
postoffice address is at the above named
place) came home from school and
made the startling announcement that
their teacher had killed snake with Il
forked tail Sol does not claim to be
cup" in "snakeology," but he says it
struck him that this particular ophid-
ian must be ''curiously and wonder
ously formed" TO say the least, yet he
did not take sufficient interest in the
matter to walk over to where the
plucky "school marin" had dispatched
the monstrosity to make an eXamina-
tion of its bind candal termination.
The next morning, however, he was
riding past the place with one of bis
sons who was present when the creature
had met the school teacher and the AK,
and concluded to take lesson in de-
formed herpetology. Arriving at the
place he found to his great surprise a
snake four feet eight inches in length
with perfectly formed horn on the
end of its tail. Closer examination
disclosed the remarkable fact that this
horn was split from base to point, and
that it would open like the beak of "A
bird 1t had probably been open
when the children examined it the day
before, which caused them to infer it

Sounding the Deep Sea.

A method of sounding the deep sea
without line has been devised by
John Munro. 1t consists in dropping
lead containing a cartridge which
explodes on striking the bottom. The
sound of the explosion is received by
submerged microphone apparatus
communicating with the ship. The
depth is estimated by the time occu'
pied 10y the lead in sinking to the bot
tom. A very ingenious method of ac-
complishing the same end was en-
ployed in Sir William Siemen's bathy-
meter. This instrument was intended
to sound the deep sea without line
through the varying attraction OF
gravity ON mercury column produced
by the different depths of water un-
derneath it, The bathymeter was
tried on IA cable ship, but given up w.
cause il was too sensitive 10 the sur

Experiments that are now being
made with the palmetto in Florida
point to the growth of n new and
profitable industry from the prolific
scrub growth of the Florida forests
and fields. 1t has been proved that
the leaf of the saw palmetto can be
ground into pulp which makes an ex-
cellent article of hollow-ware for do
mestic and other uses, and the present
experiments are expected to prove the
adaptability of this material to the
making of all kinds of paper. For
some time past the peculiar cabbage
like substance in the top OF the cab
bage palmetto has been used with the
tender tops as well, as fibre in the
manufacture of parchment 1t Is now
proposed TO obtain cheap paper fibre
from the ordinary scrub plant. Some
of this pulp has been successfully
worked up by a manufacturing con-
Germ in Boston into pals, tubs, basins
and other hollow-ware. TIE supply of
saw palmetto is practically inexhaust-
ible in Florida. Millions of acres are
covered with it, and when cut down to
the ground it grows up again two or
three times a year. The Florida
Times Union, commenting on its pro
jected use, says that for plant that
grows without cultivation, and in such
inexhaustible quantities, the saw pal
metto bids fair to have ''more money
IN it than most of the cultivated crops
of Florida, " and adds "a fibre made
from the leaf can be used protitably
by upholsterers wherever curled hair,
moss, or excelsior is used; tho root
can be turned into brushes of almost
endless forms and innumerable uses
and the poplar and other wood pulps
of commerce are now likely to lind a
dangerous rival in palmetto pulp"

Says ID. Brock, in the British Fort
nightly Review: ''The American peo-
pie are now the most comfortably
housed, the best clothed and the best
fed people in the world. This won
derful progress has never been more
marked than it is at present. In the
field of science there is an active re.
search and investigation, producing
results that are n constant surprise.
Inventive genius is continually de-
veloping new and better methods and
appliances by which labor is lightened.
There is wonderful activity in all lines
of industry, which turns out finer
products in greater abundance from
the looms, the mills and the factories,
and at lower price than ever before.
The opportunities for education by
schools, colleges and free libraries
have been constantly increased. Never
before has religious and philanthropic
thought been more awakened and gen
erous efforts more freely exerted to
relieve the suffering, to provide for the
needy and minister to the unfortunate.
All of these facts indicate great ad-
vance on right lines to higher, better
and purer civilization than has ever
before existed in the worlds history" "

Six GeneratiOns.

Phillis Jones, now nearly 100 years

BUTTERCUPS.

Jennie was Watching the COWS home,
Down by the meadow bars alone,
And her eyes were as blue as her bonnet
Jennie was only farmers lass,
And she let down the bars so the COWS could
pass
Out Of the waving, blue-eyed grass,
with buttercups sprlnkled upon 1t.
Jennie was watching young Farmer Payne
pickinga buttercup out ofthe lanei
Stephen was strong aud merry.
Jennie !" she heard her mother call,
But there at her side stood the farmer tall,
And her cheeks grew as red as a cherry.
'rm coming, mother (" she turned to go,
But Stephen stood at the path below,
And there went Daisy and Bess and Flo
over into the clover,
His arms were strong as her waist was slim,
''Tll keep you till every COW gets in,
Or tell me the name OF your lover"
"Jennie, Jennie It's getting late"
Came mothers voice from the farmhouse
gate,
But Jennie was slender and could not mate
With the tender strength OF lover,
And who could do a single thing
With yellow buttercup under their chin,
But nestle the great strong arms within
And grow as red as the clover.
"Maybe It's Ben" then she blushed again,
'And maybe it's only Stephen Payne
Then the dark crept over the meadow lane
And buttercups a-sprinkle
Not single sound in the dusky dell
Save tho tlnkle OF Daisy's silver bell,
"Tlnk-a-link-a-tinkle
For mothers voice and the bars forgot
The COWS are into the meadow lot
Knee deep in the dewy clover.
jennie and Steve came slowly up
Her soft chin yellow with buttercup,
His handsome face flushed over.
"where are you, Jennie2 it's late and cold.
"Were comm. mother" said Stephen bold
"The cows got into the meadow,
We stopped TO drive them slowly up"
Then he slyly hid the buttercup
And kissed her again in the shadow.

THE ANGELIC HUSBAND.

There are husbands who are pretty,
There are husbands who are witty,
Thereeere husbands who in public are hs
smiling as the morn;
There are husbands who are healthy,
There are famous ones and wealthy,
But the real angelic husband, well-he's
never yet been born.
Some for strength of love are noted,
Who are really so devoted
That whene'er their wives are absent they
are lonesome and forlorn;
And while now and then you'll find one
Who's fairly good and kind one,
Yet the real, angelic husband-oh, he's never
yet been born.
So the woman who is mated
To man who may be rated
As "pretty fair, should cherish him FOR ever
and day,
For the real angelic creature,
Perfect, quite, in every feature
He has never been discovered, and he won't
be, so they say.

Underground Canal Sixteen Miles Long.

The canal between Worsley and st.
Helena, in North England, is probably
the longest and most remarkable canal
of the kind in the world. 1t is sixteen
miles long and is underground from
one end to another. Many years ago
the managers of the Duke of Bridge
waters estate filled its old mines with
water that they might transport the
coal under ground instead of on the
surface. Ordinary canal boats are used,
the power being furnished by the men.
The tunnel arch over the canal is pro
vided with cross pieces, and the men
propel the boats along as they lie ca
their backs on the loads of coal. -

for awhile; then she said, solemnly;
"Men can't sew. Ny mamma always
sews on my papa's buttons. Why
don't you get married and have some
body TO sew for you -
He looked up and laughed.
"Why, Dolly, you've got wise lit

shaking his own head gravely; "but I
don't know of any real nice, good wo-
man who would have an old fellow like

"My Aunt Marthy is good and
nice," said Dolly.
''But she wouldn't have me, Dolly.
'T guess she would. She thinks
you're real nice. And she ought to
have dog and man to take care of
her and the garden"
The captain laughed until his jolly
face was red and his blue eyes full of
tears. Dolly was offended; and she
slipped down from the bench on which
she was seated and ran home, without
saying a word of good-by.
But the next day the little girl was
sick. She had taken cold; and for a
whole week the captain saw nothing of
her. His conscience smote him that
he had, however unintentionally, hurt
the feelings of his little friend; so one
evening he stopped at the door with a
pretty box of candies in his hand,
which he intended to leave as q peace
offering.

little one to-day?" he inquired of Miss
Martha, who came to the door in an
swer to his modest knock.
But Dolly heard him, and as she
was almost well and sitting up now,
she insisted upon his coming in, and
they had what she called ga fine time
examining and sorting the contents OF
the box.
81 am sorry 1 ever offended you,
Dolly" said the visitor, at length, as
he rose to go. ''You must forgive me
and come to see me again soon as you
are well enough"
"Why, / never heard of Dolly'i
being offended !" Miss Martha said.
"What was it about?"
The captain colored; but Dolly said
frankly:
"I wasn't mad sure enough, Aun
Marthy. wanted him to take care O
you, cause you ought to have some
body to-"
"Dolly, you'll get sick again staying
in this cold room. Go and sit by tn
kitchen fire."
The child obeyed, taking her prec
ious box with her; but the captain
hesitated and fingered.
"Maybe," he said, little shyly-
'maybe, Miss Marthy, since the littl
ones mentioned it, we might as wei
talk the matter over now. 1t amt tn
first time I've been thinking over it.
What they said nobody ever knew
but that night, when Dolly had said he

lap and into her arms, and kissed he
with unwonted tenderness, while tn
child was sure she saw tears in he

"Are you sorry for anything, Aun
