Dentists Dread Fine Weather.

A Philadelphia dentist says that
dentists always dread fine weather.
81 can always tell" he explains,
when storm is coming without con.
sulting either barometer or the
weather forecasts. My patients are
the best barometers in the world. The
teeth are peculiarly affected by damp
weather, particularly bad teeth. When
strangers begin focking to my Office
complaining of toothache and pains in
the jaw, l know that we are going to
have spell of bad weather. A good
bit of it is neuralgia, but 1t is sure
sign. This rush of business keeps up
until the stormy weather sets in, and
when business falls off I know the
storm is abating, and that ve will
have fine weather. When tcotha che
patients are few and fnr between you
can rest assured that season of ploas-
ant weather is at hand. New York

4 Savings Banks Guarded Treasure.

The Old Norwich Savings Society,
the second richest bank of Southern
New England, has about completed its
magnificent building at Main street
and Broadway, Norwich, Conn. ; it is
three stories high, of cream-colored,
unfinished stone.
The Norwich Savings Society has
deposits of over 50, 900, 900, and next
after the Pratt Street Savings Bank,
of Hartford, is the richest savings
bank in Connecticut. The building
will cost about 800, 200. It's style is
Romanesque. The inner walls are of
fire-proof, hollock brick, iron-faced.
The interior fittings are in marbles
and polished woods. It is absolutely
fire-proof.
The most remarkable feature of the
building, perhaps, is its wonderful
great vault, which embodies the latest
ideas for the construction Of burglar
defying devices. The new vault is
fourteen feet six inches long, ten feet
four inches wide, and eleven feet high.
It's walls are five inches thick, being
composed of alternate plates of iron
and steel. Its exterior is of bronze
plating. The massive and immense
out door has an automatic locking de-
vice, being equipped with triple time.
locks. Fifty seconds after the door
has been closed, twenty great bolts
noiselessly slip into their places, and
they stay there until the clockwork
relieves them. The massive inner
door is also equipped with double
combination lock and triple time
lock. And inside this door is a day
gate of brass and wicket, which is
closed by gravity, and cannot be
opened without key. The interior
of the vault is divided into two com
partments. In one are three COM
bination safes, and there are shelves
for papers. The other compartment
is reached through metal door five
inches thick, which has two combine
ton locks and triple timelock. In
this chamber are iron shelves pro-
tected by gates, and on these shelves,
SO securely guarded by doors and
gates, that a man must turn sixteen
locks in order to enter there, are
stored the securities of the bank, rep
resenting millions CT dollars. New

A Kiss Made His Fortune.

A kiss once played an important
part in the life of the famous Belgian
statesman. Frere-O -Orban. In his youth
the future Minister was poor student,
bearing the simple name of Frere.
He had great difficulty in earning
enough money to keep him at the uni
versity till he was ready to pass his
examination in the department of law.
The young man fell in love with a
Fraulein Orban, the daughter of a
wealthy and aristocratic family, who
opposed his suit.
eff you pass your examination well
tomorrow" said Fraulein Orban on
the eve of the trial to her lover,
''come to the theatre and to the box
in which shall be sitting with my
parents"
''Will they allow me?" asked the
student.
"I shall see to that" was the de-
termined young woman's answer.
Frere was successful and entered
the box in the evening happy but
frightened. The pretty girl, as soon
as he had crossed the threshold, stood
up rushed toward him before word
was spoken, and kissed him heartily
on the lips. The astonished parents
were soon informed of the significance
of the kiss by the daughter. AS many
other people had seen the young girls
action, the parents decided to make
the best of it. and accepted young
Frere as q son-in law on condition
that he add Orban to his name. This
he did as matter of course and made
it famous. New York Tribune.

Keep On Their Pins.

sThere are some horses that have
never been seen to lie down in their
lives" says horse fancier. "Some
horses that continue to work for
years always sleep standing, but their
rest is not complete, and their joints
and sinews stiffen. Young horses
from the country are liable to refuse
to lie down when first placed il q
stable in town, and the habit may be-
come confirmed unless special pains
are taken to prevent it. Sick horses
are very apt to refuse to lie down.
They seem to have an instructive fear
that if they lie down they never will

tical, stronger, purer, and better in every way
than all other Baking Powders. Its superiority
is privately acknowledged by other manufac.'

If some grocers try to sell another baking

the greater profit. This of itsefis good evidence
ofthe superiority of the Royal To give greater
profit the other must be lower cost powder and
to cost less it must be made with cheaper and

Georgia Negro Brute Manned. Shot

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. Meal
Smith, the negro convict who brutality
assaulted Miss Henderson near Cole
City, Ga, Wednesday, was taken from
the stockade used for combining pris-
oners, by a mob of not less than 200
men, last night. The sheriff and
jailer, with several men, were on
guard, but the crowd refused to listen
to reason and threatened to tear down
the stockade and burn it. He was led
to point near where the assault was
committed. He confessed his guilt.
Then the father of the girl, William
Henderson, cut off the negroes ears,
while one of the crowd pounded his
fingers, joint by joint, one finger at a
time, until the hand was Il shapeless
mass. This was because, in the strug-
gle to subdue Miss Henderson, he had
bitten off one of her fingers.
Each man in the crowd then took
turn at shooting at the wretch until,
when he died, he must have had four
or five pounds of lead in him. He was
literally shot to pieces.
The body was finally thrown into q
hastily prepared pile of brushwood
and burned until not scrap of bone
remained.

Ardmore can accommodate 5000 guests
for any length of time, and can feed
all who may come.
