ness in coarse grains, lack of speculation, Oh

day by . good showing of seabord clearinzs.

Degeneracy Rum Mad.

Girls with good teeth In the front part Of
their mouths are on the increase, although
q conscientious dentist will tell you that it
is vulgar to show 4 good tooth in your
mouth. A girl in New York has tried the
newest wrinkle, that OF displaying dia-
MOnds set In her teeth and smiling with q
sparkle, and they tell US she Is making con
verts rapidly. IL the fad increases, and
the indications are that 1t will, Broadway
will flash in the daytime as an electric thea
ter at night. Diamonds have often been
used by dentists for Gaping and filling
cavities, when clients were in position to
pay for that luxury, but to have the spar
kler set in the fiat surface OF the front
tooth Is entirely new. The teeth are
sound. besides and q cavity has to be cut
by the dentist.
The woman who started the craze Is
lara de rome of the Shop Girl company.
and 1t has been taken up by the dramatic
profession, millinerS, dresSmakers and the
den,i-mOnde, 1t is I: certain that it will
spread much beyond these classes, for it is
loud. and no reputable dentist would ad.
wise q reputable client, who could afford it.
to adopt the new style Miss de lUme is
q very beautiful woman of Queeniy carriage
and nearly six feet tall. For q woman Of
her size she Is exceedingly graceful. She
has very pretty teeth. ana when the fad
becomes y back number she will probably
rue the day upon which she inaugurated it.
though Just n0w she is delighted with il,
and will convert her mouth speedily into
an electric light gallery by adding two
more diamonds next week.
She has now q diamond on the first and
third incis0rs of the upper row of teeth.
One of these stones Is nearly half a carat
IN weight and larger than an ordinary pea.
with its setting Of gold it covers the en-
tire front Of the tooth. The other stone is
smaller, but the circle of gold IL which it
rests makes 1t conspicuous enough for all
lntents and purposes. Miss de rome af-
fects the broad accented ''a' to an amazing
extent; and her smile-well. it's bewilder-
ing, just as it two search lights were fash
ed in your face. So far New York den.
fists do not recommend the new fad.

But the surgeons on the field sewed. up

Private Block achieved his resignation,
however, through that cut in his head which

with Congressman Garfield and he took up
