Passing of Circular and Poster.

A very noticeable thing in this and
other cities is the decline and almost
complete humiliation of circular and pos
ter advertising. 1t has practically ceased
in the West People do not look at the
glaring things on the printed dodgers
thrust at them on the street. and as a
rule refuse to look at the printed or even
engraved circulars sent through the
mails. The only announcements that
seem to hold their own and retain popu-
lar favor are those that appear in the
magazines and newspapers, especially Of
the higher grade, that enter households.
Even in this the old ''slap-dash" idea has
been abandoned and they are so thor
ough and made so entertaining that they
are read almost as extensively as the
news columns.-Philadelphi Times.

To Grow Teeth.

A Moscow den list has solved the
problem of supplying the human mouth
with false teeth which will grow into
the gums as firmly as natural ones. DR.
Zamensky has performed several Sic
cessful operations on dogs as well as
human beings. The teeth are made of
gutta percha, porcelain or metal, as the
case may be.
AT the root of the false tooth holes
are made. Holes are also made upward
into the jaw. The tooth is then placed
in the cavity. In short time a soft,
granulated growth finds its way from
the patients jaw into the holes in the
tooth. This growth gradually hardens
and holds the tooth in position.
1t is stated that it does not matter
whether the cavity in which the tooth
is to be placed is one from which nat,
ural tooth has been recently drawn or
whether il has heen' healed for Some
years -- Moscow Letter.

Arithmetic.

The science of arithmetic is attribut-
ed by some to the Egyptians, by others
to the Chaldeans and by others again to
the Chinese. From an early date, prob
ably 1000 years before Christ, the
swanpan, or abacus, was in use in China
for performing arithmetical computa-
lions. The Chinese also use their fingers
for the same purpose, every joint Of
each finger having different arithmet-
ical value. Arithmetic was brought
into Greece from Egypt by Thales 300
years B. c. One of the oldest known
treatises upon arithmetic is by Euclid,
in the third century before Christ. The
first arithmetic printed in England was
in 1922, by Tonstall, bishop of Durham.
Until the American Revolution most Of
tho arithmetics used in the colonies
were brought from England. One of the
earliest American arithmetics was a
work called "Arithmetic-Vulgar and
Decimal, published at Boston in 1924.

Tho Bad Break Made BY Washington

Washington, Feb. 12.-Members of

Sunderland is pastor, are greatly exer-
eised over an incident at yesterday
mornings service. At the conclusion
of the communion ceremony, DR.. Sum
derland addressed the congregation as
follows:
Probably many present are not
aware that Mrs. Cleveland is in the
church for the last time; at least for
the last time she will appear in her
official position, and | would urge she
remain seated as the congregation rise
in order that they may take advantage
of the opportunity Of shaking hands. =
For a moment CONSERVATION reigned.
The presidents wife sat motionless, as
if uncertain whether to comply on
leave the church. Discretion pre-,
vailed, however, and though pereep-
tibly embarrassed, she greeted those
who approached her with cordiality-
Many realizing the awkwardness of
the situation, hurried ont to discuss
the unheard-of appeal, regretfnl at the
turn of affairs and the plight Of the lady

TARIFF REVISION FIRST.
Mckinley is Determined to Let Finan-

Washington, Feb. Is. mckinley has
determined to let financial reform wait
upon a tariff revision. All he will ex-
peet of the extra session of congress in
the way OF legislation is that it shall
speedily pass new tariff bill. lie
wants it to put the machinery in mo-
tion for currency legislation at a later
date, however, by making provision
for joint commission of senator's and
representatives and report at the regu-
lar session of congress.
A man recently in Canton said he
talked at length with Mckinley about
the extra session, and he found the
president-elect had determined to con-
fine his message at the opening of that
session practically to the tariff and cur
rency. He will urge the speedy pas
sage of tariff bill for the double pro-
tecting purpose of American interests
and filling the treasury.
The informant said he understood
Mckinley would make no specific rec,
concentrations as to the policy which
ought to be pursued in reforming the
monetary system OF the country, but
would refer in general terms to the ne
cessity of doing something, and advise
congress to create a joint commission
to sit during the recess and prepare {
comprehensive scheme to be reported

THE BIG FICHTLOCATED
Carson City Is Chosen by
Dan Stuart.
THE PUGs WILL MEET MARCH II
and Exchanges Congratulations
-Sharkey and Maher.

Carson, New, Feb. l5.-Dan Stuart
has at last arrived and has announced
that the big fight between Corbett and
Ftzsimmons will occur in Carson,
March II. Although stuart had reit-
Grated All the way up from Texas that
he had not decided where the fight was
to be held, it did not take him long to
make up his mind after he got here.
The pugilistio impressario gives as a
reason for the selection of Carson in
preference to Reno, that the Carson
people had worked hard for the passage
Of the prizehght bill, while Reno citi-
Ztus were opposed TO it. Stuart thinks
that the facilities for the accommoda-
tion and transportation of big crowd
at Carson are fully sufficient, and says
that Ee has made very satisfactory ar
rangemonts with the railroad.
Ii the matter can be arranged to suit
him, Stuart viii offer big purses for a
tiye-bird shooting tournament, which
ne expects win be attended by all the
noted shots of the country.
No announcement as yet has been
made from any official source as te
where the pavilion will be built, but
II probably will be in the heart ot
the city and a few minutes walk from
the railroad. A local agent gives it out
that the first building, owing to tn,
short time in which to erect it, will no
be a permanent one, and therefore ther
will be many places in the heart of tn
city where it can be erected without in
terfering with anyone. There will b
many other attractions at the sam
time, if present plans are carried out
and most of them will be in the pugil
istic line just what men will meet il

mons, Stuart will not say, beyond tina

In the House.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The house
today resumed consideration of the
postoffice appropriation bill immediate
~ after the reading of the journal. 1t
was arranged that the general debate
should close in one hour.
Bromwell, Republican, of Ohio, re-
sumed his argument against the appro-
priation of $l96, 900 for special mail
facilities from Boston to New Orleans,
Replying to Swanson's remarks yester-
day, he declared it was absurd to say
that the Southern railroad carried
more mail than any other trunk line
in the country. There We're, he said,
twenty-five trunk lines, which carried
more mail than the Southern.
After further debates, in which the
old arguments on the Southern fast
mail item were restated, the bill was
taken up for amendment, and amend
ments We're adopted reducing the ap-
preparation for free delivery in the
new offices from $40, 600 to 500, 600,
while the appropriation for expert
mental rural free delivery was increased
from 500, 600 to S100, 600.
