Gates that commerce is afraid OF the

think, that the highest civilizations are

The falsity of this reasoning is shown
by DIR. Andrews of Brown university,
member OF the late international none

has not been spread 10y any rational

drews, works as naturally as health,
devolution as evolution. The truth
seems TO be that, however natural what
has followed, the characterization Of
silver was not natural or the result Of
thought, but the reverse. The policy
was not debated but entered upon in
entire blindness. Neither ia England,
in Germany, nor no the United States,

stupendous significance Of the act
Hardly a man in public or in private life
then SO much as dreamed Of its grave
and far-reaching consequences.
In sketching the history OF monetary
changes DIR. Andrews shows, as Ricardo
proved, that England took up gold, not
because it was better fitted than silver
for its business, but because the Eng
lish law overvalued gold, making & hard

One of tue most wonderful machines in
these days Of miraculous mechanism is the
chronoscope. 1t took form under the skill
full hands Of Wheatstone, the mathemati-
clan, who needed an instrument to meas
ure smaller intervals of time than his
clock or watch could indicate. Many i'm
provements have been made in the chrome
scope since Wheatstone patented it in
ls4O, and now the machine is employed to
measure the flight of projectiles from n
gun. So accurate is it that it will detect
and record n difference of time amounting
to millionth part of a second and, cleo
trlcity being used in recording the pas
sage OF proiectile, it is possible to deter
mine to very small fraction the rate of
speed with which shot flies from gun.

she expected to see it realized before
the night. Her only dread was lest
some of her exaggerated stories should
come to Nellie's honest ears too soon.
Then came a day which Gertie never
will forget-when it was found that
Uncle Silas had gone, no one knew
whittier.
His oldest, but now carefully mend
ed clothes, had been left behind, with
a card bearing the laconic inscription:
''For my brother john" and it after
wards appeared that he had been
freely replenishing his wardrobe-at
his frugal brothers expense.
But this was not the worst; it soon
came out that Uncle Silas had been
trying to raise large sums of money
in his brothers name, upon bogus
South American securities; and it was
his failure in this and fear of the con-
sequences, which had led to his sudden
and secret fight.
A package of the worthless secur-
tiles had been left for my charming
but avaricious niece, as suitable re-
ward for her disinterested devotion
Gertie's humiliation was complete;
and she foresaw bitter punishment
for her folly in the merciless teasing
of her companions. when they should
learn of her air castles utter and pitt
full collapse.
Nellie was honestly sorry for her
sister. though she wondered how 1t
had been possible for Ger tie to indulge
in such absurdly romantic hopes; and
she heartily sympathized with Uncle
Johns discontinue and indignation at
the discovery of his brothers utter un-
worthiness- But old Susan chuckled
over the state of things for days.
Jest like Mr.. Silas." she said, FAN
serves Mr.. John right for trustin' him,
when he knew-well as do-that Mr..
Silas was born a scamp, an warn't
likely to &c ag'in' his natur'. But for
Miss Gertie 10 be so taken in by his
great yarnsi She amt, much like her
sister; seems as if Miss Nellie's got all

CAUSES OF BAD TEETH

Why Americans Suffer In This Respect
More Than Other Nationalities.
The undoubted increase in the rate
at which the teeth of the present gen.
Grafton decay, as compared with those
of their ancestors, is traceable to a
great variety of causes, but the main
one is unquestion ably the tremendous
pace at which the people of to-day live.
Any general weakness of the body is
bound to affect the teeth. This is par
ticularly true with regard to indiges-
ton, which certainly tends to become
more and more ge neral, and with nerv-
ous complaints, which are increasing
to quite an alarming extent. The
same elements that are necessary for
the maintenance of the various tissues
of the body, the brain and the nerves
are equally required to nourish the
bones and the teeth. Bad nerves and
bad teeth will be found to go together
in an extraordinary number of cases.
and the hustle and hustle of our mod
ern life, which is so trying to the
nerves, has an equally detrimental
effect upon the teeth. There are, of
course, many minor causes which have
probably always operated more or less
unfavorabIy upon the state of the teeth.
Among these may be mentioned the
partaking of food that is very hot or
very cold. Either of these extremes
has a tendency to crack the enamel,
which is the true guardian of the teeth.
for once the enamel is impaired decay
proceeds very rapidly. Insufficient
cleaning, too, must necessarily have a
harmful effect upon the teeth, and inn
moderate use of sweet substances is
also deleterions. Illness again in child
hood, when the enamel is forming. has
u tendency to check its formation, with
the result that it wears out more
quickly than il otherwise would. That
the rush and competition of modern ex-
istence is the main cause of the preva-
lence of bad teeth is demonstrated by
the fact that, as n nation, we Ameri-
cans have worse teeth than any other
people. 1t is too much the fact that
we live. fast and irregular lives. No
men or women in any other part of the
world are SO subject to indigestion
and to nerve complaints as are onr peo-
pie, and as a, corollary the result is bad
teeth. 1t has been asserted that if the
present rate at which deposits of gold
in human teeth are taking place in the
United States continues, one hundred
years hence there will be more of the
precious metal in our cemeteries than
la all the mines of Colorado. Brooklyn

To prepare brown bread coffee for an
invalid take some pieces and crusts of
brown bread and dry them in slow
oven until thoroughly hard and crisp.
Place them in a mortar and pound
them. Then pour boiling water over
them and let them soak for. about
fifteen minutes. This, when strained
carefully, is very acceptable to invalids
who are tired of ordinary drinks, such
as lemonade, etc. Crust coffee is made
in the same way as brown bread coffee,
white bread only being substituted for
brown. Chicago Tribune.

THE TELEPHONE DOCTOR.
He Is an Indispensable Adjunct 10 the
Large City Systems.

lie Is an indispensable A0Junct 10 the
Large City Systems.
In telephone plant for big city
like Chicago there are cables contain
ing upwards of thirty thousand miles
of copper wire.
Complete records are kept of the POI
sition of every wire and the men in
charge can pick out at once the line of
to inspect it or work on it. When a
line gets into trouble it can be tested
in both directions from the switch
board and out toward the subscribers
station.
At every exchange there is an official
called the wire chief" whose special
duty is to overlook the making of con-
nections between the subscribers line
and the switchboard. to inspect the
wires and to test them electrically in
order to determine the position of any
defect that may occur in a subscribers
line or instruments. The wire chief
sits at special desk from which wires
run to various parts of the system and
he is provided with electrical instru-
ments with which to make tests on
lines that develop trouble" He is
the ambulance surgeon of the tele-
phone plant and his wires give him the
advantage of being truly Ubiquitous.
He receives complaints and reports Of
trouble" and enters on special slips
every trouble" repor ted or discovered.
These slips are handed to trouble,
men," who search out the cause and,
finding it, apply the proper remedy;
they then enter an account of what
they found and what they did on the
slip and return it. In this way close
and comprehensive check is kept on
the operation of the telephone plant,
which, on account of it's completely
and of the numbe- of small parts that
go to make it up, is peculiarly liable to
trifiing but troublesome de1ects- Re-
turns are made up periodically from
the trouble slips rad these form
continuous record of the efficiency both
of the plant and of those Immediately
in charge of it.-Chicego News
