A Dentist TELLS n story.

Among the guests at Wlliard's. says
the Washington Times. is P. NJ. Williams.
a prominent dentist of Lockport, n. Y.
There came to my notice the other day. -
said he. "one of the most remarkable cases
of third dentition of which l ever heard
An old lady of 10 years had been toothless
for many years. She wore false teeth in
stead OF her last natural ones.
Some time ago she complained of her
false teeth giving her gums pain, and at
last came to me TO try to have the matter
remedied. Much to the surprise of both of
us, l found that she was cutting a new set
of teeth. In a short time she had cut an
entire new set above and below, and they
all seem to be as sound as the teeth of a
person in the prime of life. But the thing
that must seem beyond belief, and which
is yet true, is that one of the new teeth
had a gold filling in it.
In a jaw tooth on the lower left side A
piece of gold about as large as a match
head was found, roughly though solidly.
imbedded in the crust of the tooth The
only way the affair could be explained wa

McIkinIeN,r NInnnrer.

Mr. Mckinley Is likely 10 lose a good
many votes on account Of the hostility OF
labor unions to Mr.. Hanna, his manager.
Mr. Hanna employees a great many men.
and it 10 alleged that his record as an en-
ployer Is not one that satisfies labor un-
ions He has had to deal with strikes and
strikers, and among the laboring class he
has plenty OF enemies.
It is said that committees from a num-
Der Of labor unions in different cities have
been appointed to visit Cleveland and in
vestigate the stories that Mr.. Hanna is a
foe Of all kinds OF organized labor. From
various sources come reports that the sto-
ries are believed and that working men
are declaring against Mr.. Mckinley be-
cause of his connection with Mr.. Hanna.
Mr. Mckinley would hardly know what
to do without Mr.. Hanna. His campaign
would drag. And yet if Mr. Hanna is the
sort of a man workingmen are being told
he is it would be advisable for him to get
into the background as quickly as possi-
bic. With the farmers and the labor vote
against him Mr.. Mckinley wouldn't stand
a ghost Of a chance of being elected.

The Rice CroD.

Arrivals and sales OF new crop rice in
New Orleans Were reported the first of
last week. The new season. therefore, is
open. At the beginning there are reasons
to expect a higher range of prices than
obtained last year. The Louisiana crop
Will not be nearly so large as was the last
one, and it viii be of a better quality.
Last year the Louisiana planters were
not as careful as they should have been
with regard TO the selection of seed. The
result was that they harvested an infe-
rior grain. mixed with a considerable pro-
portion of red rice. The effect upon the
market as whole was bad since the
Louisiana crop to a considerable degree
makes the price for the American pro-
duct.
The low grades produced and the small
prices received somewhat discouraged the
planters, which disbursement has been
reflected in a considerable ourtailment of
the acreage for the present year For the
current crop good seeds were selected
hence the grade will be Of a higher stan
dard than the last crop.
Another point in favor Of the new crop
is the fact that foreign rice has recently
advanced in price; and stin another is that
the stocks carried over from last year are
not excessive. With decreased acreage
better seed, less foreign competition and
reasonably small stocks on hand. the sit
uation at the beginning of the season ap-
pears to hold out the promise Of remu-
nerauve prices to the rice planters.

A test Of compressed air motors for
street car propulsion was made in New
York city few night ago. 1t is said to
have resulted satisfactorily. Each car
carries a tank. in which air is condensed
to pressure of 1000 pounds. During the
test, cars were moved at the viii of the
motorman at from four to fifteen miles an
hour. 1t is said they can be made to run
thirty miles an hour. A sand box under
the car provides for sprinkIing the tracks
with sand in case Of emergency, makins

DisorderIy "a M. own Funeral.

A short time ago a certain Euglishman
died In the locally orthodox way Of fever
and dyscntery. As he had no friends TO
see him better done by. the authorities put
him INTO a weakly constructed shell. and
handed him over 70 a couple Of kafiirs TO
take away and drop into a trench which
was kept for the reception Of suddenly
nEde cOrpses Of no particular account.
Ehere was some water In this trench,
and as the darlIies were holding the coffin

next morning he had made a wonderful
cure, and went back to town, only to find
his room at the hotel locked IN, and his
few worldly possessions in charge of the
authorities Then he went off to the Cam
era Municipal and rendered the informa-
ton that he was alive He was told politely
but firmly that he was officially dead and
had no claim on the property that had
been his.
1t was an awkward situation for both,
for on the one hand the man had come
back TO the world an absolute pauper, not
even owning the clothes he stood mp in.
while on the other not even the obtuseness
of Portuguese officialism could burk the
fact that he was alive and very much IN
clined to kick. The two Kafirs were
brought up and gave edifying but abso-
lutely contradictory accounts of what had
happened at the grave Then a happy
thought dawned on the official mind. There
was one way of restoring the man legally
and officially TO the ranks of the living
and II was promptly taken.
They fined him S. for disorderly and in
decent conduct at a funeral; then they
restored him the balance of his property
and let him go.
