Portable Houses.

Portable houses are made of almost
any size and for a great variety Of uses.
There are portable dwelling houses, and
portable lighthouses, and portable bar
racks, and portable clubhouses, lawn
pavilions, engineers, miners, contract-
ors' and other Offices, bathing houses,
stables, bowling alleys, billiard rooms:
hospitals and SO on. There have lately
been made two story portable houses. a
two story portable house of ten rooms

be bought for $50; with two cots, two
tables, and two stools, for 500
Sometimes a man who owns porta-
BILE house hires land on the seashore or
in the mountains and sets his house up
there for a season, takes it down and
stores it in the fall, and next season
hires land in another place and sets his
house up there
Portable houses are set on stones OF
blocks, and on posts, and sometimes
they are set on permanent foundations.
People sometimes have chimneys built
where they set up their houses. The
portable house manufacturers sell terra
Gotta chimneys in sections, to be stacked
up, and it is not unusual for the house

Rabbinical Theology.

The rabbis argue that man must seek
after woman and not woman after
a man, only the reason they assign for
it sounds strange. Man, they say, was
formed from the ground woman, from.
mans rib. Hence in trying to find a
wife man only looks for what he has
lost. = Similarly it was observed.
that God had not formed woman out of
the head, lest she should become proud !;
nor out of the eye, lest she should lust;
nor out Of the ear, lest she should be
curious; nor out of the mouth, lest she
should be talkative; nor out Of the
heart, lest she should be jealous; nor
out Of the hand, lest she should be COW
etous; nor out of the foot, lest she be q
busybody, but out of the rib, which was
always covered. Modesty was therefore
prime quality. Dr.. Edersheim'si

SUGAR NOT INJURIOUS.
The Idea That It Destroys the Teeth Il
el:...l e-sS.5. Ridiculel. - n -

The Idea That It Destroys the Teeth Is
Ridiculed.
A writer in the Contemporary Re-
view devotes most Of an article on
champagne to the popular idea that
govt is produced by the sugar contained
in that drink. The paper is mot
medical paper" but the writer brings
forward considerable evidence to show
that champagne has nothing tetlo with
the production Of govt, and in an aside
speaks OF that other popular notion that
sugar destroys the teeth. He says:
In confederation of the fallacy of
the sugar and govt idea it may be men
toned that the still more reprehensible
dogma, from a sanitary point of view,
that sugar ruins the teeth is equally
false. Indeed, how the idea ever came
into existence is mystery, seeing that
the finest, whitest and strongest teeth are
found in the mouths of negroes brought
up on sugar plantations, who from the
earliest years upward consumed more
sugar than any other class of people
whatever. Those at all skeptica] of the
value Of this fact have only to look
around among their personal friends
and see whether the sugar eaters or the
sugar summers have the finest teeth,
and they will find, other things being
equal, that the sugar eaters, as rule,
have the best teeth. The only possible
way for accounting for this libel against
sugar seems to be by supposing that it
originated in the brain of one of our
economically disposed great-grandmoth-
ers at the time when sugar was 2 shil-
ings pound in order to prevent her
children gratifying their cravings for
sweets at the expense Of the contents of
the sugar BASIN
