A Tooth Lined Comm.

There is no accounting for taste A
dentist died in rural town in England
q few days ago after spending over 90
years in pulling the molars OF his fell
low citizens. He had made 1t hobby
to keep all the teeth which he had
drawn in the course Of his professional
career and took great pride in the collec
ton When his will was opened. II was
found that he had ordered the oollec.
ton of teeth 10 be placed with him In
his coffin for burial His heirs fulfilled
his command. and almost 80, 900 teeth
were put into the coffin with the dead
dentist. II some arch@ologist Of fu-
ture century shall happen 10 open that
grave, he will have food for thought"
and some difficulty perhaps In explain
ing the presence Of 50 many teeth. -

My Darling's Lullaby.
sne l.gs question In Hotels.

The egg question in hotel that
laughs at expense in the endeavor to Sc
cure for its guests what is more than
palatable has the closest attention. For
the most part the middle man operates
here, though the eggs do not lie ON his
hands long. Among many hotels have
failed to find one that uses any but war
ranted eggs, and even these are broken
by skilled assistants separately before
they are used by cook or baker, for
one faithless egg can wreck gallons of
soup or cake galore In the Holland
House this incidental duty means the
breaking of 81, 500 worth of eggs every
month. Never less than 100 dozen are
used per day. The Marlborough hotel
averages 200 dozen every day. During
the Worlds fair the Palmer House
reached the average of 600 dozen. =

VARIETIES.

A Young woman in Georgia, who
has been dumb from birth, owing to
a cleft palate, has been made to speak
by means of an artificial palate obtura-
tor of vulcanite and rubber Her
voice is clear, and her words are dis
trnctly uttered. Before using the az
tificial palate she had great difficulty
in swallowing; this trouble now has
entirely disappeared. Her speech
at first was rather uncertain, like that
of a child learning to talk; but she
rapidly improved, and in a few days
conversed, fuently.
AT an evening gathering the sub
iect of ladies' ages came up. "And
how old should you take me to be?"

ILLOGICAL.

A well-known litterateur not long
ago delivered a lecture before Buffalo
club, and in the course of his talk he
had occasion to quote Shakespeare's
lines about uneasy lies the head that
wears CROWN" etc. At the conclu-
sion of his address he was approached
by a Scotchman, who expressed his
pleasure at the talk, but took occasion
to say that his appreciation of Shake
speare was only limited.
There's that bit you said about
the uneasy head and the crown. 1
dinna like it. It's muckle foolish.

SHOW PUPILS.

Show pupils are sometimes pretty,
usually intelligent, and often vain.
They are not easily embarrassed.
They seldom make mistakes, and never
look sheepish. When strangers visit
the school, the show pupils, as mat
ter of course, expect to be called for
ward and placed on exhibition.
There are show pupils in every school,
but there are not enough in any school.
Every pupil ought to be show pupil.
Give the dull pupil the same chance
as the bright one There are some
thoughts, some ideas in his brain.
Let him express them before visitors,
even if his language is crude and i'm
perfect and his manner awkward.
Ease and grace may come in time.
His feelings may be keener than his
intellect. Do not extinguish the spark
of emulation in his breast by thrust
ing him to the background. Kindly
recognition from visitors, accompa-
MED by a smile of encouragement from
his teacher, may give him heart to
surmount the obstacles that are I'M
known to his brighter classmates.
Visitors frequently ask questions that
are valuable colloquial language les
sons to our pupil. 1t is unfair to con-
fine to the brighter pupils what is of
educational value to all.

HOPE.

HOFE-
What song is well sung not of sorrow?
What triumph well won without pain?
What virtue shall be- and not borrow
Bright lustre from many stain?
What birth has there been without travail?
What battle well won without blood?
What good shall earth see without evil
Ingarner'd as chaff with the good?
Lo the Cross set in rocks by the Roman
And nourished by blood of the Lamb,
And watered by tears of the woman,
Has fiourished, has spread like a palm.
Has spread through the frosts and far regions
Of SHOWS in the North; and South sands,
Where never the tramp of his legions
Was heard, or has reached forth his red
hands.
Be thankful the price and the payment,
The birth, the privations and scorn
The cross and the parting of raiment,
Are finished. The star brought us morn.
Look forward; stand far and unearthly,
Free-souled as banner unfurled,
Be worthy, o brother, be worthy!
For God was the price of the world.

NOT A TYR4NT.

1t is truly annoying to plain every
day citizen, to have his indisputable
rights infringed upon by a great per-
sonage. 1t is easy to understand the
state of mind of the hungry traveller
confronted by pomp and power, as is
related in this true story
Tired and hungry, a traveller whom
we may call Mr. Smith, entered vii
lage inn and ordered roast chicken.
He sat down by the fire and took great
comfort in watching the fowl roasting
on the spit and thinking how fine the
flavor would be. 1t was nearly done
when a strange looking individual en-
tered the kitchen. His costume was
eccentric, but it was undoubtedly that
of a great parsonage.
To the innkeeper he said with an
impatient, and as it seemed to hungry
Mr.. Smith, insufferably naughty air,
"Well, William, will that chicken be
roasted soon p
Sir cried Mr.. Smith sternly. that
chicken is mine l ordered it before
you
What is that to me ~ said the per-
sonage harshly.
What is that to you ~ cried Mr.
Smith, faint with hunger and just in
dignation.
Then the intruder spoke again and
more gently. You see, sir, | want
the turn-spit chain to complete my
costume. l am going to represent the
Black Prince at an entertainment at
the Town Hall this evening"
