Old King Rene.s Tomb,

The long-forgotten tomb OF good

The Quickest and Best.

One of the first, if not the first of the
Republican Congressman to oppose
wasting time at the short session in
trying to pass the Dingley bill, and to
advocate the preparation by the Ways
and Means Committee of straightout
protection bill ready to be passed by an
extra session of Congress, was Mr.. Van
Voorhis, of this district At the time
of the announcement of his views as
here summarized, the great majority of
the members of Congress were opposing
an extra session and advocating the
Dingley bill. Since then, however, a
great change seems to haye come over
the National legislators. Yesterday
General Grosvenor came out, taking
precisely the same stand as Congress
man Van Voorhis. Senator Chandler
followed suit, and it is very proba BILE
that unless President Cleveland agrees
to sign the Dingley bill, if passed, no
time will be wasted in passing it.
What the people want is protective
law enacted at the earliest possible
moment An extra session with bill
already prepared is the way to accomp-
1ish it-Times Recorder.

BLEACHING The TEETH:
Perfect whiteness Secured by Means Of
Chemical Preparation.


Chemical Preparation.
Now they bleach teeth. So there is
no reason why an otherwise pretty
girls smile should not reveal a row of
pearls. Her teeth, however black, may
be blcached to perfect whiteness.
The stuff used to bleach it is not in the
least injurious. 1t is called "pyrazone,"
and is an ethcrized alkaline prepara-
tion. 1t will bleach anything. A drop
on your skin will make itwhite as snow.
1t will also smart.
When tooth is being bleached it is
treated to prevent any possible injury
10 it. In some cases, where nothing but
a blackened stump remains of once
pearly incisor, the stump is. first
oleached, then a porcelain front is deft-
ly fitted to it, and the back is built up
with gold. Thus one may have fine
new tooth solidly set IN the jaw, and
probably more perfect than the orig
inal. Sometimes n whole row of teeth
are thus treated.
If n tooth is entirely gone it is re-
placed by what is called 81 bridge"
which is n tooth, or several teeth,
fastened to those on either side.
This is very delicate work and
requires a. special education in
dentistry. Properly constructed on
good dental engineering principles, the
bridge is solid structure, which may
endure for years. The bridge is care
fully fitted to the neigbboring teeth.
1t will be seen that these inven ntions
all tend TO do away with false teeth.
These may be pretty and artistic and
in many cases actually look better
'han the originals whose place they
took, but most people nowadays have
prejudice against false teeth, not to
mention the disagreeable necessity OF
removing them from. the mouth and
leaving them on the washstand over
night. Besides, false teeth are very
expensive, because the jaws, after the
teeth are removed, have a way of
shrinking, thereby necessitating the al
teration of the plates, and often the
teeth themselves. And If the set is
not removed every few years there is
sure to be disagreeable rattling in the
mouth.-N. Y. journal.

REMARKABLE ENTERTAINING.
Tho Host Furnished Everything for His
Guests.

Tho Host Furnished Everything for His
Guests.
A young woman has confded to
writer in the New York Times some
what extraordinary account of the man
ner in which a wealthy and well-known
New Yorker treats those who are in
vited to the house parties at his suburb
an home. She was informed by note
from her hostess that carriage would
call for her and her luggage at certain
hour to take her to the ferry, where
Mr.. Y would meet and take charge
CT her. At the ferry she found the en-
tire house party, including matrons
with their husbands, young men and
1naidens. assembled to be looked after
by Mr.. X. The valet checked their
luggage, and in each instance q round
trip ticket was returned with the
checks. At the house, in each room
the writing-desk was supplied not only
with an ample stock of letter-paper,
engraved with the estate name, but also
with a box filled with postage stamps
of various denominations, including
special-delivcry ones. A long-distance
'eiSphouS, connecting Win, dllOHS
other places, the station telegraph Of
fee, made it possible TO talk or wire all
over the country and quite impossible to
pay fer the service. On the little guest
card in each room, which gave the
hours of meals and the schedule of
mails and trains, was a little notice:
Visitors are kindly requested not to
fee the servants" Finally, to cap the
climax, on Sunday morning n maid
brought to the young woman's door,
on tray which was loaded with SIM
liar missives, a small envelope which she
proffered with the simple message:
'For the church box'' It contained
money for the o1fertory plate and one of
these envelopes was left with each
guest.
