PULLED TwENTY-sEvEN TEETH.
A Dentists Call Results in Quite n
business Venture.

A Sunday or two ago one of our popu-
lar dentists had quite a picnic in the
exercise of his profession. says an ex-
change A suffering citizen said to his
wife, as she started for church: IF you
meet DIR. -, send him over
She did happen to meet him, and the
man of forceps was soon with the suffer-
ing citizen, whose courage fell to zero
on seeing him.
Fact was he didn't think his wife
would meet the doctor. and If the lat
ter would accept payment for his trou-
BILE he would be glad to have him go
away without torturing an unwilling
victim"
Let's see the offender" said the den
fist, and then, following up the advan-
tage, he soon had five grinders where
they would do no more aching.
Suffering citizen was then a happy
man, and desiring &c also make happy a
neighbor whom he knew was afraid of
a dentist he inveiEled Mr.. F. into the
dread presence, and after some coaxing
out came twelve snags to make way for
a set
Then the neighbor in his great sense
of relief called in his wife, who yielded
seven more to the harvest.
BY this time the man afraid of a
dentist, who had had out twelve, con-
Cluded II was just fun and sat down
for a pull of three more. Then the doc
tor was out of business and counted up
twenty seven samples of jaw misery as
the result of his friendly call.

FELT HER BROTHERS. DEATH.
Curious Circumstances Which In
dictated Mental TeIepathy.

A curious circumstance that may be
looked upon as confirmation of the
doctrine Of mental telepathy took place
here recently in family of importance
in the history of the State. This family
numbers among 'ts members a lady and
her twin brother, a young man who for
the past few years has been in business
in New Zealand but who has been eX-
pected home on a visit to his sister, says
a New Orleans letter.
One evening lately the lady was sit
ting surrounded by friends when all at
once she gave a piercing cry, and plac-
ing her hand to her side fell fainting to
the floor. on reviving she declared that
she had been suddenly stabbed just
above the heart and under the left arm,
indicating the spots. She was assured
that she was laboring under the purest
imagination, but was hard to convince
that this was the case, SO plainly had she
felt the knife enter the body.
That night little daughter was born
to her, and the child was found to be
marked on the places indicated by the
mother as the wounds she had imagin ed.
The marks on the child looked as ii they
might be the cicatriN of old knife
wounds. The next day a cablegram
was received from friends of the twin
brother in New Zealand, informing his
sister that he had been stabbed to death
by native in a quarrel, and the date
given of the young mans death was that
of the night when the sister had felt the

other blue. They are represented As
referring the matter to the arbitration

fastening his faith to the poem just
mentioned, declared that he must have
been cheated, and his chameleon was
not chameleon at all, but lust COM
mon lizard" for though it certainly did
change color it did not change to the
colors he expected.
1t was often green; but never either
blue, black. or white, though he had
given 1t every opportunity, even incur
ring the wrath of the household by
letting it run over the blue silk evening
dress of his sister, and his mothers
best black velvet bonnet, in the hope
OF seeing it change its hue to match,
which 1T ANONYMOUSLY failed to do.
Other owners complain that their
pets will not eat; that they become
limp and lazy during the winter; that
they look miserable when chained, and
are off like fash when loosed; that
they vanish mysteriously on being set
free, and can never be found again,
This last accusation is frequently
true, but is more likely to be the fault
of the family cat than the chameleon,
for puss knows enough to prefer ten

get him.
AS to color, owners must not trust
too implicitly to the accuracy of the
poets. The American chameleon's
changes run from whitish drab through
bronze, brown, pinkish gray, dull
green, olive and dull yellow to the
most exquisitely vivid golden green;
they do not include blue or black.
Merrick's chameleon, however, was
not American but Arabian, and the
recently published journal of the trav-
els OF the artist, Marianne North, have a
passage which confirms the possibility
OF his black chameleon if not of his
blue one. OF her pet, which after a
sea-voyage died at Athens and received
the classic honor of burial in the
Acropolis, she wrote:

RESEMBLANCE TO NOTED MEN
A Natural Gift Whose Cultivation II Ilkely
to Prove Somewhat Expensive.

to Prove Somewhat Expensive
Almost every family has a member
who boasts of a resemblance to some
celebrity and cultivates it most as.
siduously by copying the peculiarities
of dress or manner Of the statesman,
warrior or preacher whom heais SUM-
posed to look like. Twenty years ago
there were hundreds Of men at large
in the country who. to use a current
expression, travelled on their resem.
blance to- Henry Ward Beecher. Thi,
was by no means a difficult thing to
do, and as general thing it was only
necessary for man to shave his face
clean, let his hair grow long, and put
on sleuch hat and long frock coat to
have his acquaintance discuss in his
presence the extraordinary resent lancs
which he bore to the Brooklyn pastor.
There are a few men, envied of all
their fellows, who bear some pesem.
blance to the great Napoleon, and
several thousand more who either try
to look like the Corsican warrior or
else wish they did, and, prior to Sedan,
an immense number of Frenchmen
made themselves up in imitation of
Louis Napoleon As a general thing
it costs man a great deal of money to
look like anyone as great as Napoleon
or as distinguished as the Prince of
Wales, because a resemblance of this
sort is sure to produce vanity, and that
weakness makes its possessor willing
prey to the great army of thirsty and
genials who are alwsv.
ready to profit by it But once in a
while a chance resemblance becomes a
source of revenue, as in the case of the
woman who has been engaged to as
sumo the role OF Queen Victoria in the
Barnum show. The advertisement for
some one to fill this part brought to
light hundreds OF women who look
more or less like the English queen.
and from among them one was selected
who might easily pass as her twin
sister. Among the applicants were sew
eral of the cranks who bob up now and
then and contrive to secure a little
notoriety by claiming relationship to
the royal family, but the place was
