The high literary and dramatic aes-
theticism to which the reading of 'Tril-
by" has brought a wretched republic finds
its climax, remarks the Philadelphia Rec
ord in the threatened suit for damages
which is to be brought against Manager
Palmer by Miss Estelle Clayton, who
claims to have United States copyright
upon bare feet. 1t is time for the great
American people to kick against all this
consummate nonsense with something
more substantial than a Trilby foot.
COMING OUT:
At seventeen he stood before the glass;
and very closely scanned
His youthful face, which now and then
with happy smiles would much ex-
pand;
He passed his finger DER his lip, and with
a wild and gleeful shout,
That shook the chandelier. exclaimed.
AHA! the hair Is coming out!'
At forty-five he stood before that self
same mirror once again;
This time he wore the look that's donned
by worn and weary business men.
He passed his finger DER his head, the
while his face was full of doubt,
AS with long-drawn sigh he said, "Alas!
the hair is coming out!'

The last and most ingenious resort of
the dental surgeon, says the Cincinnati
Tribune, is "implantation," /. e., the set
ting of new teeth into the jaw. For this
purpose real teeth are employed, and not
artificial ones. Cocaine having been first
applied for producing local anaesthesia, a
hole Is drilled in the jawbone, and into
this socket a good tooth newly drawn from
somebody's jaw Is set. If the patient is
young and vigorous the osseous structure
soon closes around it, and by the time the
gum is healed, the tooth Is ready for use.
1t should last from three to ten years. In
the case of an elderly or feeble person. 1t
may be fastened in place by silver wires
passing around the jawbone. The root of
a freshly extracted tooth is covered with
q delicate membrane called the "perice-
mentum," the vitality of which materially
assists the wished-for combining of the
tissues. Unless the grinder is directly
transferred, the vitality of this membrane
must be artificially preserved. One way of
doing 1t is to graft the tooth temporarily
into the comb of n cock that part of the
fowl being well fed with blood, as may be
seen from its redness. When wanted for
use 1t Is cut out. Ordinarily the patient
is obliged TO wait for a while until the
dentist has a suitable tooth freshly ex-
tracted, unless he chooses to hire some-
body to sacrifice one.
One medical authority says that out Of
10, SOS, 800 cases of childbirth recorded in
Europe quadruplets We're born in but fifty

and twins in 226SO7. In the total men,
toned one case of quintuples occurred.

door leading into Mr. Danas ROOM"
Julian Ralph tells Eugene Field. II was
hard at work one day, when william G..
and Mr.. Dana came out ot the
room together. Both stopped a, my desk,
for Mr. Whitney wanted to speak to me.
I was just telling Mr.. Dana said he,
that 1 could not understand how Il man
Of his wealth AMI intelligence and tastes
could be content 10 contine himself TO this
1ingy little office six hours every day,
lika n slave. l should fancy that
in travel and in society he would seek
that enjoyment which one OF his active
must demand. 1t Is be.-c nd
my comprehension hos he Is satisfied TO
spend his days in this plodding, confining
ife.' About hall an hour later Mr. Dana
came back from his walk with Whitney.
The two had parted and Mr.. Dana entered
the office as bri ;hs ana bcamnE as hoy.
Coming up to where l was at work he
threw one leg over my desk, and there
sat, smiling through his spectacles. That
was funny, wasn't it, Ralph?' said he.
What was funny?' l asked. why, what
Whitney said to us about enjoyment
Then, with a quiet chuckle, he added:
He doesn't know what fur, we are having
Ill the time, does he, Ralph?'"
OF THE TIME:
His father called him William, and his sis
ters called him VIII;
His mother called him Willie, and the fell
lows called him Bill;
But that was years and years ago, before
he wrote his lays,
And he is known to everyone as Shake
speare nowadays,
A man who kept bargains for ladies',
Declared trade was going to Hades.
When the printer he sought,
Divers orders he got,
All the way from Alaska to Cadiz.
