Facts About Mouths.

The teeth of fish, like the teeth OF most
animals, are not fastened to the bone, but
are held IN sockets.
The treatise Of John Hunter In IN IS
considered the foundation OF the science
OF dentistry in England.
Ovid, Martial, and Horace all refer in
their poems TO the use Of artificial teeth
as common In their time.
The mouth of the leech Is powerful
sucker, which will sustain many times the
weight OF the animal.
The tongue OF the toad and frog Is pre-
hensile. By means OF II these animals
seize and hold their prey.
Tho mouth OF the lobster is small, and
he must tear his food to pieces with his
claws before he can devour it,
The largest mouth, proportloned to the
size Of the animal, is that OF the frog.
His head is practically all mouth.
Artificial teeth OF porcelain were made
In France as early as 1U6. A full upper
and lower set cost little over $1,000.
The molar teeth arc hard TO pull, be-
cause their roots are bifurcated, and thus
have a much better hold in the jaw.
The trouble with tongue-tied people Is
that the membrane connecting the tongue
with the lower jaw is too short.
The mouth of a heroine In novel is,
In nine cases out Of ten, special object
of attention on the part Of the writer.

A cobweb party never falls TO produce
unlimited laughter. The preparations for
this should be made before the evening
arrives. Get as many balls OF common
shop string as you expect guests. Wind
each ball about the stairway, the halls,
and drawing-rooms until they are ex-
hausted and until there Is everywhere
maze OF different coored cords. The ends
should all begin at one starting point.
but after that they must divergc as
widely as possible. They should even
mount the chandeliers, Irvine themselves
lovingly about the legs OF chairs, affec-
tionately wind themselves through and
through any holes in the wood carving
and around door knobs. No knots, how
ever. should be tied. The clever one who
soonest presents his ball In good condi-
ton TO the hostess is the proud recipient
OF prize. A pretty Idea in the cobweb
party Is 10 have one ball OF string serve
for each young fellow and a girl. The
two ends start from the general starting
point and meet at the end. Partners
are chosen by tossing the names written
upon slips OF paper into hat and draw
Ing at random.
A "Chestnuting Party Is equally good
fun, and no one who has ever been so for
tunate to take part can, for moment,
imagine with what zest the most dignilied
individual will poke under clocks and lift
table covers, or even so down upon
august knees to search the carpet for the
shiny nuts. For. OF course. before her
guests arrive, the clever hostess will
have placed them in every available
out-of-the-way corner. Each guest Is pro-
vided with little basket and when all
the nuts have been found the greatest
number bagged carries off the prize.

combine a number OF things and intro

the needle skilfuily.
1t Is rather a curious fact that II has
always been the semi-civilized people who
have particularly excelled In needle-work.
The lower class of Persians, Hindostans,
Mexicans. and even Indians. have shown
wonderful cleverness in this direction,
when every other department OF needle
work was a eealed book to them.
The origin Of Mexican work Is rather
clouded in the filmy traditions surround
ing the conquest of Mexico by the Span
iards who had learned this work from
the Moors, who in their turn had learned
IL In the far East. II was somehow
transferred to Mexico and the serfs OF

though ii enters largely into all peu
and table-linen. and has even been used
TO form the cross on the surplice or an

Except for very meagre livelihood
through the natural products Of the soil,
with many Mexican families the sale OF
this work furnishes their only means OF
subsistence; and IT naturally follows that
their living must be OF the most prlini-
tive sort. A very usual house with them
is the one which they make out OF dry
goods boxes, putting on a matched roof
