AS I was passing along the river one
day saw large crowd had assembled,
and when I joined them found a boy,
who was bathing in the water just be-
low the dam, had gone down. After
some trouble his body was recovered.
It was found to be a young colored boy
whom no one seemed to know. - T. .

the levee and was met by several wom-
en- who were rushing toward the scene
OF the accident. They made an anxious
inquiry, but all passed on relieved when
they found it was a colored boy.
At last I met a colored women. "Waa

About II years old?"
said I thought So.
With one wild cry of anguish the
woman bounded forward. I knew she
had boy that answered that descrip-
ton.
I thought as I see hundreds of boys
go down every year among the break
ers OF intemperance. if every mother
who has a boy of that description could
see him in their place; could imagine
he was one of them, what a mighty
army of brave women would be rushing
to the rescue. 8

Eating Grow,

NEO"t =
The following is given as the origin
of the saying "To eat crow" During
the civil war, or shortly after its close,
United States soldier shot a tame
crow, the owner of which came upon
him before he had time to reload his
piece, and compelled him to eat a
mcuthful Of the bird. This satisfied
the owner of the bird, who walked
away, but before he had gone great
distance he was overhauled by the SOL
dier, who had loaded up again, and
compelled him to return and eat a
mouthful or two Of the crow. The own
er the next day complained at the post.
The commander sent for the soldier
complained Of, and inquired:
do you know this gentleman?"
The soldier drawled out "Ya-as; we
dined together yesterday"
In every day conversation Ito eat
crow" is understood to mean that an
individual takes back all he previously
said in, regard to certain matter

ARE TEETH DISAPPEARING?


"A AerrAole Calamity Promised for the
'' Coming Generations.
What is to be done about it, or will
the future race be content to dc
without teeth? asks the Boston Herald.
According to an experienced dentist,
education is playing sad havoc with
the teeth of the modern generation.
The change in them has been appar-
emily rapid, more so than in other
, physical deteriorations, and, dentistry
having become a science, the cause is
sought with hopes to stay the effect
Formerly, says the dentist, decayed
teeth were attributed to fondness for
sweets, but this idea is a mistake.
Sugar is nourishing, and taken with
wholesome diet and proper care of
the teeth it doesn't harm them. The
truth IS that the ancient sturdy square
Jaw OF the Anglo-Saxon race is chang
ing through over-much study and over
reduction to V shape, which presses
the molars, one upon the other and
does not give them room to grow, and
will In time prevent them cutting at
all. The horse lost his five toes
through disease; man is about to lose
his wisdom" teeth through like pro-
cess. The "wisdomers" are already
missing in many jaws. This, singular
to relate, makes the "educated Jaw
English women are not averse to this
V-shaped angle of chin. They are dis
tinguished for the length and breadth
of the teeth, and would gladly see theil
flvories diminish under the new facial
form. Girton and Newman, Radcliffe
and Vassar are responsible for much of
this "educated" jaw. The young men
are not sorry to have less teeth to be
. filled, and as personal vanity plays
little part in their physical culture
they would as soon be, toothless as not.
But suppose more ST y, more hi her
education' aids this Pre- cess of evoiu-
ton and in the course of time the
grandchildren of the students of today
have jaws like chipmunks and never:
no., never, cut any teeth, what then?

or will they, as writer suggests, then
manufacture complete artificial sets for
people from the day of their birth ON

Secretary Sherman says he never will

dent. It was shortly after Linco1n,s
Inauguration and he attended a public
reception, fell into line and waited an
hour or two for chance to shake
hands with the great emancipator.. .s:.z ~

mar, i was wondering what! 1 should
say and what Lincoln would do when
we met. At last it came my turn to he
presented. Lincoln looked at me a mo-
ment, extended his hand and said:
You're a pretty tall fellow, aren't
you? stand up here with me, back to
