What the Duke May Have Said.

The correspondent of a country pa.
per had been lettering around the
Waldorf hotel several days trying to
get an interview with the Spanish
duke One morning he encountered
his excellcncy as he was going cut
for a Dive. That was his chance.
He hastily produced his writing pad
and pencil and started in for bust
ness.
'You have recently returned from
Chicago, I believer
'You believe what you like, re-
piled the duke tartly, as if his break
fast had disagreed with him.
And you saw our falls of Niagara
on your way?" continued the report
er, determined not to be bluffed.

But the readers of the Blokeville
Banner would like to know what
your excellency thinks of these two
great national curiosities.

Magnetic Effects of Lightning.


The magnetic effects produced by

of knives, forks and other cutlery

caught by them as they lay together

When Days Were Three Hours Long.

Away in the distant, when the
earth was very young, it went
around so fast that the day was only
three hours long. The whole globe
was liquid then, and as it spun
around and around at that fright
full speed it finally burst into two
parts. The smaller of the parts be-
came the moon, which has been sail

did you ever try to sell your
heating stove when you gave up

you don't care about storing the

because he told you so when he and
you got the landlord to put jack on
the chimney.
oh, I never buy secondhand

ers. They want to know where you
got the stove and look at you as if
they thought you stole it. It's been
a lesson to me. I'll never steal a
stove, hot or cold, no matter how
hard up l get. Too hard to get rid

asked: We'll, what it is? What you

The Formation of the Teeth.

An eminent dentist is authority
for the following interesting expla-
nation:
It would take too long to describe
the formation of the teeth, but it
may interest you to know that the
enamel is derived in the first place
from the epithelium or scarf skin,
and is, in fact, modified skin, while
the dentine, of which the bulk of the
teeth is composed, is derived from
tho mucous layer below the epithe-
hum.
Lime salts are slowly deposited,
and the tooth pulp or nerve is the
last remains of what was once a
pulpy mass Of the shape of the future
tooth, and even the tooth pulp in
the old people sometimes gets quite
obliterated by calcareous deposits.
The 80 permanent teeth are preced-
ed by 20 temporary deciduous or
milk teeth.
These are fully erupted at about 2
or p years old. and at about years
of age wonderful process Of alb
sorption sets in by which the roots
Of the temporary teeth are removed
to make room for the advancing per-
manent ones. The crowns of the
former having no support become
loose and fall away.
One would naturally suppose that
the advancing permanent tooth was
a powerful factor in the absorption
of its temporary predecessor, but we
have many facts to prove that it has
no influence whatever. Indeed the
interesting phenomena of the erup-
ton and succession of the teeth are
very little understood.

The Poet and the FishmOnger.

Twas in Grimsby not long ago, and
went into one of the few fishmongers'
shops in that capital of fishmongers en-
gros. The worthy shopkeeper was in a
talkative mood, and among other things
told me that he was under orders to send
small hamper of fish daily to Lord
Tennyson. In support OF this statement
he produced letter from the poet lau-
reate's residence, and in handing it to
me he said: cts not from the lord i'm
self. It's from his son, Master Allan.
I'm wot's doing the poetry now. And, "
he added confdentially, "they do say as
'ow it isn't patch on the old mans. ~
1 thought the worthy fishmonger's idea
that as matter of course Lord Tenny-
sons son, on his fathers accession to
other duties, would take over the poetry
business, just as in due time his own
son would succeed him in tho fishmon-
gering line, sufficiently amusing to be
chronicled.-Co Pail Mall Gazette

Resuscitating the Apparently Drowned.
A new method, the general princi-
pie of which is indicated by it's name,
1.-The traction of the tongue" has
been introduced by Professor J. V.
Laborde to revive those who have
been rescued from watery grave
It is exceedingly simple and has been
attended with striking results. In a
person who has been long immersed
in water or otherwise asphyxiated
it suffices to seize the tip of the
tongue and pull upon the tongue
rhythmically SO as to cause rhyth-
mical traction in imitation of the
respiratory rhythm. The process
should be kept up for long time.
If it is successful, the person gives a
deep sigh, and sometimes vomiting
occurs, and after that, if the trac-
ton be continued, respiration is usu-
ally speedily restored.
Professor Laborde has had occa-
sion to employ the process, and with
almost invariable success, in cases of
apparent death from drowning, and
DIR. Billot has obtained excellent re-
suits in testing it's efficacy in cases of
sewer gas poisoning. The process
has been used by Professor Laborde
for some time in cases of apparent
death under the action of chloro-
form in the case of animals operated
on in the laboratory.-New York

A Marrow Escape For Bald Head.

1T has always been a mystery to
me. :" said prominent society young
man Of the west end, chow people
can be so absentminded. I have
heard good stories about absent
minded people, but none better than
an incident which I know to be a
fact. There is in society circles in
our section a young married man
whose Uranium is not prone to an
overproduction of hair, but it would
seem that what his head lacks his
face makes up for. The young man
aforesaid is not partial to boards nor
BARRIERS and acts as his own tonsorial
artist. The other day he made all
arrangements for comfortable
shave and had taken his position be-
fore the glass, razor in hand. Now,
in his toilet room there are two large
mirrors placed opposite each other,
and as the young man stood with
his back toward one the reflection of
his bald head shone as a secondary
image in the mirror which he was
facing.
"As absentminded people are &C
customed to look rather into the dis
lance, the young man overlooked his
face and saw only the secondary i'm
age of his bald head. Without
thought and with a dexterity that
seemed born of practice the young
artist began lathering the back of his
head with good coat. He was just
about to proceed to use the razor
when his wife stepped into the room
and by her ejaculation of surprise
aroused the husband toa sense of the
ludicrous position he was in. He
tells the story himself with great
deal of gusto."- st. Louis Republic.

AN AMERICAN BlllIONAIRE.
Possibility That Is Even Probability In
the Not Distant Future.

Possibility That Is Even Probability In
the Not Distant Future.
More than 10 years ago John Swim
ton made the somewhat notable
prophecy, 1.-The nineteenth century
will witness an American billion
aire." At that time the richest man
in the nation was credited with be-
ing worth $6O,OOO,OOO in hard cash.
When young William H. Vanderbilt
died he was said to be the prospective
heir to $4,000, 1000.
There have been some interesting
computations Of the prospective
wealth of this great family, allowing
it's investments to continue as sub
stantial as they now are, and substi-
tute for the enormous revenues now
returned from it's great railway prop.
critics at the modest rate of per
cent. Two years ago the wealth of
the Vanderbilt family was thus sum
married.:
Cornelius Vanderbilt $40, OOO, OOO
William K. Vanderbilt .............. s., GOO, OOO
| FreOor1CK w. tanUcrDllC.
George w. Vanderbilt. .............. IL, GOO, GOO
Mrs. Elliott F. Shepard. ............. L. O,OOO
Mrs. w. D. Sloane ................... 12.OOO,OOO
Mrs. Hamilton NICK. Twombley.... L., OOO, 600
Mrs. w. Seward Webb ............. 2,OOO,OOO
Total. $S74.OOO,O COZ
That this wealth has since grown
to be $500, 600, 600 is stating it very
conservatively. The estimated in
come is SIS, coo, OOO At current rates
of interest this fortune, if kept in
tact, will in rs years have grown to
be nearly 81, 900, 10000 The enor-
nous pile of money comprised in
81, 1000, O00,0 900 is hardly to be realized
by most people. What a figure a
Millionaire would be may perhaps be
best understood by saying that such
a man, if his wealth we're all concen-
trated in Minneapolis, would hold a
clear title to the whole of the Twin
Cities and all their suburbs meaning
all the lands and buildings as they
stand, and a considerable portion of
the state besides.
It is therefore by no means GER
tain that John Swinton's prophecy
will not materialize before the cen
fury closes. The interest on the Van
derbilt wealth, at 5 per cent. would
make it at the end of years, $780,
OO0,0OO in 10 years, $44S, 600, 900; in
Is years, $941, 900, 900; in so years,
SO, 1000, 100000.
But 5 per cent is only a conven-
tional trife in the face of the figures
of profit on the great Vanderbilt
roads. And as the Vanderbilts, along
with the Astors, have adopted a poll
cy in bequeathing property, which
amounts in practice to English
primogeniture, it is by no means i'm
probable that they may bring forth
a Millionaire before the dawn of the
twentieth century.
These are facts which may well set
all classes Of men interested in the
general welfare to thinking. The IA
bled wealth Of the Caesars was paltry
beside the prospective mountains
whose broadening shadows hang over
millions of honest toilers struggling
for a decent competence.-Minneap
