A TOOthless People.

DR.. Victor G. Bell lectured recently on
1.-THE Care Of the Teeth and the Mouth"
"We are becoming toothless people" he
said, "for otherwise how can we account
for the fact that thousands Of people today
are wearing artificial teeth, and there are
as many thousands who would wear them
II they could afford to buy themp Look
at our little children. At the age of Q
their little teeth are already decayed. Our
girls at IA and 10 often wear artificial
teeth. Our fathers and mothers at the age
of 40 and 30 cannot boast of having many
sound teeth. Now, when you consider
how much acute suffering and pain these
people go through, how many sleepless
nights and restless days they pass before
they arrive at that happy moment when
they have got rid Of all their own teeth
and can wear artificial ones instead, you
will naturally ask the question, Has the
Creator given us these organs for tempo
rary USE and with the intention Of inflict
ing suffering upon usP
mo; they were given us to last us
through life. If we do lose them prema-
turely, and II we do suffer excruoiating
pain while we have them, 1t is due to our
own oarelessness, negligence and igno-

A Mysterious Tidal Movement.

The tidal movement in the St. Lawrence
Is not the familiar diurnal one common
in the ocean and other extensive bodies Of
water, salt or fresh, and caused by the at
traction Of the moon. 1t is something
much more mysterious. The allegation Is
that the big river has a total tidal period
of about IA years, and that is that 1t falls
regularly and continually for seven con-
secutive years, dropping its level four or
five feet, and then rises for the next ensu-
ing seven Vars. Those who make this
assertion-and its most persistent adher-
ents are the fishermen and guides who
study the river as a matter of business
from day to day and year to year-are for
titled with apparently excellent evidence.
They will show you the islands submerged
for IL years that only show themselves at
the lowest water during the two remaining
years of the period. They will row you
out to perpendicular cliffs, upon whose
sides they, their fathers and their grand
fathers before them have marked high
water, and the alleged dates seem to con-
firm the theory. What makes this singu-
lar movement Of the water more apparent
Is the fact that the lordly St. Lawrence is
not subject to the floods and droughts
which raise and lower the levels Of almost
all rivers many times during the course of
each year. Except for the almost imper-
ceptible "tidal" rise or fall, as the case
may be, It's level is constant the year
around. Weeks Of heavy rain do not dis
turb Its steady volume or spoil the anglers
sport by making muddy the clear water

Bibs for the Baby.
Lewiston Journal.

The daintiest bibs for baby are made
from a fine linen handkerchief of the size
sold for gentlemen. Select those with
very narrow, hemstitched hens and cut
through triangularly. Each handkerchief
will make two bibs. Fold over the raw
edge about three inches in the middle,
sloping to q point at the ends and cutting
V shaped gore out of the middle to pre-.
vent hopping. This raw edge is button
holed all around with pale blue, pink or
white Roman floss, and the part turned
over as well as the extreme point of the bib
is worked with dainty flowers -forgetme-
nots or pale pink buds-in flo floss. 1t
would be difficult to find a present for a
new baby more calculated to delight a
mothers heart than this.-New York

Poisonous Snake Bites.

whisky will never cure q poisonous
snake bite" said Professor Theodore A.
Schurr, the naturalist, of 30 years expert
ence, to a reporter. 1.-THE idea that whisky
is an antidote for the bite of a rattlesnake
or any other venomous reptile Is delu-
sion so popular and general that l always

In my lectures. Whisky never will or new
er did cure any one bitten by o snake, but
because some person took some whisky
after being bitten by a harmless snake and
recovered he attributed his cure to the
whisky and so the idea gained circulation.
l have never known a case to be cured by
the use of whisky and have known several
cases where 1t had been used to result ia
tally. Whisky only adds additional poison
to the system instead of removing and de-
stroying that of the snake.
1.-THE only thing that will cure person

instance. The venom of reptile is inject

use at any time, and no good for snake
bites. "-Pittsburg Post.

Concerning walnut.

As fancy wood, either In furniture or
In house finishing, walnut has yielded most
of its prestige TO oak, and now the bulk of
our American walnut goes abroad, Ger
many taking the major portion of It, At
least 80 per cent of it is shipped to Lon
don, Liverpool and Hamburg. There Is no
season why walnut should have so fallen
into disfavor, but the fact stands that it Is
Questionable, and it must go. The for
eign shipments run along between three
and half and four and q half million feet,
and the bulk of 1t comes from Kentucky,
Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana Texas, Arkan-
sas, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania, the remaining states furnishing
little or none.
The finest shipment for 1895 came from
Texas, but, as Il rule, Indiana walnut is
the best kentucky has more than any
other state, but 1t does not average as high
as Indiana. The largest walnut sawmill
In the world is in Chicago, and 1t uses
about 5000 carloads "a year. Walnut Is
graded into flrsts, seconds, rejects and
oulls, and the price varies from S1S to $50
for culls and $35 to $40 for rejects to $40
per thousand for firsts and seconds. At an
average price Of $50 per thousand, 1t will
be seen that the grand total Of the value
of our walnut shipments is not very large
sum.
The best grade Of walnut Is forest
growth what is known as "cornfleld wal
nut" being hard and irregular, with more
or less windshakes. Walnut trees are worth
from 81 up according to their accessible
ity and there is no rule Of finding them.
A tree should be at least 10 inches in di-
amoter, while some trees go up to over 80
Inches, and "a log over go feet long is found
occasionally. AS "A rule though, walnut
branches low, and short logs prevail Fig
urod walnut is a speciality and is used for
veneering. It's price varies from cents
to 81 foot. One man in West Virginia is
reported to own figured tree which cost
him 81 900, for which he asks 81, 600, hav-
ing refused $4,000. There are over 6, 900
feet in 1t. A walnut tree is at It's best at
about 80 years of age or rather it should
live that long before it is out down for
market.-New York Sun.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Grandma's Wedding Gown.

Lol here is grandma, just stepped down
From the picture ON the wall,
Dressed In her famous wedding gown,
To attend the fancy BALI
No wrinkle mars her dear, sweet face,
She looks, with cheeks aglow,
Just as she looked, in pearls and lace,
Seventy years agoi
No wonder she was worshiped then
In all the country-sidel
No wonder hearts were broken when
She wore this gown, a bride
And OF tonight she's just as fair,
As when she wore it so,
With girdled waist and powdered hair,
Seventy years agoi
Tho satin, once of spotless white,
Is yellowed with the years;
The veil that fell In folds Of light
Is stained, but not with tears;
For grandma's life was one long May,
As free from i'll or woe
As was her perfect wedding day,
Seventy years agol
Tonight, in all her youth and grace,
For all to praise that see,
The old love-light upon her face,
She comes to dance with me.
All, rose 80 like the parent flowerl
Full soon our love shall know
The Joy that crowned her bridal hour,
Seventy years agol

Horse Profits.

A man who knows tells the Philadel-
phia Record that concern In Philadelphia
makes profit of s24 on the carcass of ev-
cry horse In the first place, the hide Is
valuable, and the leather known as cor
dovan is taken from the skin over the
rump. The other leather Is soft and Is
used mostly for slippers and heavy driving
gloves. The hair from the tail and name
Is made into haircloth, and the short hair
Is used In stuffing cushions and horse ool-
lars. From the hoofs oil Is extracted and
the horny substance Is sold to comb man
ufaoturers. The leg bones are used for
knife handles. The ribs and head are
burned to make bone black after the glue
has been extracted. BY various processes
phosphorus, carbonate Of ammonia, oy-
anide of potassium and prussia acid are
obtained, and sometimes the meat Is
canned and shipped to Europe.
