Gordon Setter in q Dentists Chair.

Rex is the name of a remarkable
dog, which probably has the distinc-
ton of being the only dog in existence
that has ever sat on dentists chair
and had his teeth filed, not with
plain, ordinary rubber or amalgam
filings, but unalloyed gold. Rex is q
fnll-blooded Gordon setter, and is the
pride and pet of his master, DIR. +. s.
Van Nostrand, surgeon dentist, who
lives at Columbus avenue and Eighty.
eighth street.
The dentist noticed sometime ago
that Rex had cavities in Six of his
teeth, and decided to fill them in the
most scientific manner. Rex, there
fore, was subjected to three days
preliminary training in the chair with
u towel, rolled up like rope, in his
mouth until his master became salts
fled with his dogs progress. The fill
ing began several days ago.
DR.. Van Nostrand was assisted in
the operation by friend who held the
towel in the dogs mouth with one
hand and his paws in the other. Rex
stood the gouging burr like hero,
only wincing once or twice when the
instrument struck nerve. Rex is
now bounding over the country hills
and dales and getting himself in trim
for the next dog show, where he has
in the past carried off number OF
prizes. New York Journal.

Some one in one of the lower
provinces of Austria hus evolved the
iden that light is the great health Civ

Mi TINT is necessary to cure most dis.
eases is TO expose the body to its
nctlon. He has accordingly founded
an establishment where tins remedy
can he applied without contrhvening
the rules Of society. The institution
is open during the summer months.
There are two lnrge enclosures,
divided 10y high wall, so rs to scpa-
rate the sexes.
The method involves the exposure
of the absolutely naked body to sun
light and air, irrespective OF ntm"s-
pheric vicissitudes. The patients are
eujoincd to pass the greater part OF the
day in state of nudity, and little by
little they are expected to develop
such measure of resistance as Will
enable them to stand nil changes OF
temperature and humidity.
When the sun is high the patients
lie around on the dry turf or on
planks exposed TO the full force of the
summer sun for periods varying from
fifteen minutes to an hour. One ef-
feet of the exposure is to provoke pro-
fuse perspiration, hut i'll newcomers

Hunters Hit by Their Game.

Game killed in full fight has mo-
mentum TINT carries it a long way,
sometimes. The London Field re-
lates several instances where the birds
have hit the sportsmen. In one case
George Monnors WIS shooting in the
woods of Long Island when grouse
driven by heaters came flying along
fast and high up He shot at it. aud
then with the other barrel fired at
another bird. just as he was about
lowering his gun after the second shot
he received blow on the head that
knocked him senseless. The grouse
first hit had tumbled against his head.
That same afternoon wheelman,
riding along near the line OF hunters,
admiring the scenery, did not observe
big black cock till its feathers
brushed his head. The black cock
had been killed, and had nearly hit
him in falling.
The Badminton volume on shooting
tells how the late Charles Leslie was
knocked out of the battery by a
grouse he had shot. A strong hat
probably saved him from serious in
jury.
American hunters have had similar
experiences. A man was riding along
ina wagon some time ago, according
to Forest and Stream, when some
thing hit him on the head with enough
force to make him dizzy. An UNI
wounded partridge flying through the
woods had hit him fair. Why the
bird did not turn aside is as much a
mystery as the fact that cartridges
sometimes fly against house sides and
are killed in so doing.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

A new kind of waterproof dress
goods is being manufactured in France
out OF the feathers of geese, ducks and
hens, treated in peculiar manner.
Threads OF shredded steel are used
in Germany as n substitute for sand
paper. 1t is said to work more quickly
and uniformly than sandpaper and
does not clog.
A method OF nickelling wood has
been devised by the German chemist
Langbein, the wood being covered by
a thin coating of metal by either dry
or wet process.
A French astronomer is of opinion
that the red glow OF the planet Mars
is caused by crimson vegetation. He
thinks that the grass and foliage there
are red, not green, as they are on
earth.
An English motor car manufacturer
is building two.story steel house to
run on wheels, propelled by a motor
under it. The top story is collapsible
so rs to enable the house to pass under
bridges.
The air after II heavy snowfall or
shower is usually very clear, because
the snow or rain in falling brings
down with il most of the dust and i'm.
puritIes, and leaves the atmosphere
exceedingly clear.
A submarine mountain range has
been discovered in the southern part
OF Davis Strait by the Danish steamer
1ngolf, which has been carrying on
deep-sea explorations on the Iceland
and Greenland coasts, for the past two
years.
President Octave Chanute, of the
American Society Of Civil Engineers,

Prediction About the Weather.

Next winter is going to be cold

Neb., at the Howard, "At least, the
old settlers all predict q long, close
season. The reasons given are various
and each person is entirely satisfied
that the one he gives renders it abso.
lutely certain. In the first place,
rabbits fur is thicker than usual, as
is that of the minks and others in the
northwest. This indication is regarded
rs infallible. Through the middle
West great faith is placed in sign
that has never been known to fail, or
ut least it is so claimed-the corn
husks are double. Another sign is
that the crop OF nuts will be exception
ally heavy this fall, the trees and
bushes bearing nuts being loaded down
with them. The squirrels are laying
in II larger supply than they have for
several years past, starting with
acorns. If there is anything in signs,
people had better begin to calculate.

MascOts His Trade.

The mau who makes living by
walking along the curbstones with his
head bent down in search OF articles
that may have been lost, has rival in
an industrious old colored man who
haunts the dark corners OF the big
markets. He goes about his work IN
buslness-like way, and if you OBJ
serve him closely You will notice that
every once IN u while he will dodge
behind II barrel of scrap meat and
pounce upon something which he in
stnntly transfers to one OF his voium-
nous pockets.
He is one of the few old charac-
ters we have left" said market man.
1--WE would help him along more if
we could, but he is after what general
ly goes to the customer, and Is not
trimmed off. You may not believe 1t,
but all that old colored man sees in
life IL a rabbits foot. At first the
market boys thought he was making q
collection for himself, and wondered
why fortune always seemed 30 much
against him, but in q laxative mo-
ment he confided that he sold the
feet, getting as much as a nickel
apiece for them when the market was
strong. -,
"Perhaps you have never consld-
cred how many rabbits feet are nee
essary to supply the demand OF this
town, but the number must be very
great Besides the colored sport, who
generally keeps stock of his favorite
mascots on hand, there are the hum
lreds used by the fortune tellers,
whose dupes are not confined to the
colored ruce at all. From what have
seen don't think the old fellow gets
enough feet, and / believe that II he
could collect them in large quantities
he would soon grow rich, for he is al.
ways ready to swear that he found
them at the witching hour in a grave

Shooting the Chute.

Shooting the chute has taken such a
hold upon the people of a II sections OF
the country that it is being tried in
new forms in different plnces. A one

incline, aud when the wheel
struck the water dived over

shoot the chute there whenever it is
not watched. New York Sun.

LIVING.

We only live once; and deaths terrors
With LIES bowers and roses ent wine,
And our lives would be darkened by errors
Did We even, like cats, possess nine!
They would be, perhaps, all Of them wasted
And recklessly squandered away,
And not half Of Joys would be tasted
That one life can embrace in a lay.
Let the lives that we live be worth living.
Let the days that we spend be we'll spent;
Let US save for the pleasure OF giving,
And not borrow at fifty per cent;
Let us never cease loving and learning,
And use life for its noblest ends;
Then when dust to dust is returning,
We shall live in the hearts Of our trends.
