A few successful women book agents
find it profitable to canvass New York
suburbs with coach and pair. They
sell only expensive books, dress richly,
approach well-appearing houses with
confidence, send in card that bears
no business mark, and are usually
ushered into the drawing-room or
library and received with considera-
tion. The cost of travelling about in
such fashion must be something near
So per day, and, apparently, there is
enough profit in the business to justi-
fy the assuming of the expense.

A Eoy's Composition on Br ~ thing


Breath is made OF air. We breathe
with our lungs, our liver and kid
neys. If it wasn't for our breath we
should die when we slept. Our
breath keeps the life a-going through
the nose when we are asleep. Boys
that stay in a room all day should
not breathe They should wait till
they get out Of doors. Boys in a
room make bad, unwh0lesome air.
They make carbonicide. Carbonicide
Is poisOner than mad dogs. A heap
of soldiers was in black hole in In
dia, and a carbOnicde got in that
there hole and killed nearly every
one afore morning. Girls kill the
breath with cOrosits that slueezes
the diagram. Girls can't boiler or
run like boys, because their diagram
is squeezed too much. If l was a
girl, I'd rather be a boy, so l can
holler and run and have a great big
diagram. Washington Star.

One of the curious changes in Eng
and is the increase in the number Of
acres devoted to fruit farming and
market gardening. This Increase is
shown by the official reports to have
been 1899 acres last year, while in the
same period the decrease in the acre
age of general agricultural land was
l50, 900 acres. Wheat is n losing crop
for the English farmer, but experts
say that garden truck, fruit and dairy
produce will pay we'll In any part of
England, as the demand far exceeds
the supply. Fancy London importing
butter and eggs from Australia, marvels
the San Francisco Chronicle, when
thousands of poor English families
could make an excellent living by
chicken raising and dairying on the
lands that are now used only for pas
ture or rs hunting preserves.

The literary output of Germany is
greater than that of England, France
and America combined. A German
litterateur, DIR. A. Roquette, computes
that the buyer of n single copy of each
German publication during the years
of 1SS9-'71 would be compelled to
expend the sum of 80, ,652 marks an
nually; for 1880, it would have been
65, 1876; for 1890 the sum would be
SO, 797. The increase up to 1890 has,
accordingly, been 1865 per cent.
During the same time the funds Mt the
disposal of the Prussian university
libraries has increased 1852 per cent.
That the publications of Germany are
of more solid kind, on the whole,
than are those of other countries, il
seen from the fact that the strictly
scientific books published in 1890
would cost $4,000 marks, or about
twenty-nine per cent. of the entire lit.
erary output. Add TO this the same
sum for foreign literature, 300 mark,
for secondhand books, 5000 marks
for binding. Roquette concludes tina,
even the wealthiest German university
library, that of Gottingen, still lacks
$1,000 marks year for being able 70

In the city Of Catorce, in Mexico, the

gently returned The city is located
I'm the mountains, eight miles from the
railroad station. In order TO reach IL
an extremely porilous ride up the
mountains must be made. For that
reason but few foreign people have
ever visited the town. AS n result, at
Catorce are found the Mexican people in

Thousands OF dollars worth OF bullion
is secured yearly Miles Of tunnels ex-
tend In all directions, and thous ands OF
dollars have been expended on the
mines. The streets Of Catorce run up
and down the mountains often at an
angle Of 45 degrees making the use of
wheeled vehicles impossible. All
transportation Is done 10y the burros
or by the Cargedores, who are able to
carry great weights on their backs,
suspended by bands from around their
foreheads. With 300 pounds on their
back, these men will move along on u
trot. The only level spot of ground in
Catorce is its plaza, which is very beau
tiful, rs also is its cathedral, which is
richly decorated with silver and pre-
cious stones. Catorce, which is the
Spanish word meaning fountain, got
its name, so the legend runs, from
fourteen bandits who discovered the
rich deposits of silver in 1880, and at
once made it their headquarters. 1t

A Southern Woman Supplied with an Ar
tifciaI jaw by q Gotham Dentist
Il think that greater progress has
been made in the past few years In
the practice Of dentistry than in any
other branch Of the healing art, said
dentist to writer for the New
York Evening Sun. Dentistry as a
science consists OF great deal more
nowadays than the mere extracting
OF teeth. In fact, an up-todate spe-
cialist does not extract teeth at all
So long as there Is the least bit OF
crown or root left he sets himself to
work TO save that bit, and usually
accomplishes his purpose. i know
jaw was provided for young woman
In so clever manner that, SO far as
external appearance went, there was
nothing TO show that anything was
wrong A malignant growth OF a
cancerOus nature had practically de-
strOyed half OF the lower jaw OF the
young woman, when she was brought
TO this city from her Southern home
for treatment. Her condition was
such that she could not masticate
even the softest food, and she had
lost control OF the muscles OF the
jaws. She was nouriShed with liquid
food exclusively.
"Thc specialist who took the case
In hand cut away more than half Of
the lower jaw, and made an artih-
cial one TO take its place. He con-
structed artificial hinges also, and
made plate which is fastened upon
the upper Jaw for heguidance OF the
lover Then a small but powerful
spring was fitted into the joint, so
that when the operation was COM
pleted it was possible for the young
woman not only To move the jaw at
will, but also to maSticate all sorts
OF soft foods. The best part OF the
operation, in the young woman's
opinion, however, was the fact that
1t restored 10 her the good looks that
the disease had robbed her OF. An
operation like that makes ordinary
dentists work appear like child's
play. electricity has been made TO
help the dentist materially in his
work. by means OF the small incan-
descent lamp which Is inserted in
the mouth the dentist Is unabled to
see distinctly every detail OF the i'm
perfect teeth and so may work more
intelligently and quickly than was
possible few years ago"

letter from Mr.. Joseph A. Slayton, one OF
the most prominent men of Calais, VT:
"Two years ago l was taken with the

consulted personally or by letter, free of
