NEW YoRK's CHINESE THEATER
The Plays Are Steady, Dignified
Dramatic, but Rarely Humorous.

From the Century Magazine.
Let us first consider the Chinese thea
ter. In contrast with the vaudeville per-
Torrance of the Bowery theaters and gar
dens is the Chinese play, steady, dignihed,
dramatic, rarely even humorous. Here, IN
stead of some unnamable social scandal
being utilized as the dramatic impulse Of
their play, the national history, the great
est fictions of Chinese literature, embody-
ing innumerable moral precepts and cx~
amples, are the subjects for the actors
Interpretation. The Chinese actor himself
is the very embodiment of dignity, while
the quintessence of etiquette marks his
manners. He endeaVors to conceal rather
than betray emotion.
DO the Chinese dance? Never; neither
in China nor in America, unless they
have become so far denationalized as to
be considered foreign graft on the west
ern stalk, which occurs not once IN a
thousand cases. There is, therefore, no
dance upon the Chinese stage. In all
their performance, from beginning to end,
there is nowhere any sort Of a dance, from
the likeness of the minuet of a century
ago to the latest ballet step of to-day.
The Chinese look upon such a thing as
entirely beneath the dignity Of a China
man, and such a performance would be
received with disgust and Kisses.
A Well-known New York daily news
paper recently made itself ridiculous, ana
lauded it's own ignorance to the skies, by
referring with beautiful serenity to the
wickedness of the vaudeville performance
in a Chinese theater A vaudeville per-
Torrance in a Chinese theater? There is
no such thing. Even more than that
a Chinaman is would be an insupporta-
BILE scandal that women should appear
upon the stage as freely as they do in
the Chinese theaters of America. A wo-
man appears only when her husband or
father is a member Of the company, and
then in the most Insignificant parts, and
her identity is suppressed rather than i'd
vertised. Womens parts in ninety-nine
cases out of a hundred are taken by men,
and these are enacted with a modesty and
humility which we would fain see copied
by the actresses of our stage to-day, ay,
even by some of our women themselves.
Could a little of the Chinese dignity reti-
cence, and womanly modesty be poured
into American blood. It would be a gooo
thing for the American people, and an
admirable specific for the American "giri
of the period" There is, therefore, no
comparison to be made, from a moral
standpoint between the Chinese stage ana
the vile, immodest and frequently. OBJ
scene performances which the white peo-
pie of the Bowery put upon their boards.

THOUGHT HURTS THE TEETH.
Brain Workers Have More Trouble
With MOIars Than Do LabOrers.

with MOIars Than Do LabOrers.
From the New York Times.
A prominent New York dentist made
the statement the other day, which he
said was acked by the highest scientific
authority, that intellectual pursuits play
havoc with the teeth. and that the more
a man tolls with his brain the more likely
are his teeth to disappear or become dis
eased before he reaches middle life.
The reason why people in this country
have poorer teeth than those of any other
country in the world is because they live
at the highest possible pitch of nervous
pressure. Savage races generally have
teeth superior to those of civilized races
There are many unusual occupations
too, that have bad effect on teeth. Quick
silver miners, bleachers who use chloride
of lime people employed in soda factories
are some of those who suffer But the
most harmful trade of all, not only in it's
effect upon the general health, but also
upon the teeth, is that of making matches.
The phosphorus used in their manufac-
ture affects in some way the health of the
teeth of those who handle it.
Artificial teeth are made of all sorts of
strange substances nowadays, but prob
ably the most curious of all materials used
"A
dentist in Germany has been making them
in this way for many years past. False
teeth were never so cheap as they are to-
day, and, at the same time, never so dear
They can be purchased as low as SO per set,
or they may cost as high as 81, 500 There
are expensive dentists as we'll as oxpen-
sive doctors, and it is not an uncommon
thing for $500 to be paid for a new outfit
of molars
When it comes to expensive teeth-or,
rather, an expensive tooth-probably the
costliest and most highly priced in the
world is that of the sacred monkey. 1t
is in one of the temples of Siam, preserved
in gold box The value the natives put
upon it may be judged by the fact that
they paid 49, $50, 900 to Portugal for it's
ransom when the fortunes of war placed
it in the possession of that nation. The
Cingalese also venerate as sacred a
monkeys molar, while the people of Nal
abar worship one of the elephants grind
ers In the Tonga Islands tooth from a
sharks jaw is regarded with great rev.
erence, and in India the faithful adore a
tooth that is said to have been once in
active service in the mouth of Buddha
himself.
The first dentist, in fact, must have lived
long before Buddha. AT any rate, there
were dentists in plenty in Egypt and
Greece five hundred years B. c., who used
gold for filling teeth and golden wire for
fixing artificial ones Gold has even been
discovered in the teeth of mummies known
to De many thousands of years old.
