AT the recent election in Ohio a
fusion delegation, consisting of rine
democrats and five republicans, WIS
elected to the legislature from Hanil-
ton county (Ciucinnati.) The demo-
Gratis fondly hoped and confidently
asserted that the five fusion republi-
cans would not vote for the reelection
of Senator Hanna, but at a recent
meeting of the five fusionist or indie
pendent republicans they all agreed to
support the republican caucus nominee
for senator. This will make the legis-
lature stand so republicans to 65 demo-
Gratis on joint ballot, ard practically

A Clever Trick,

1t certainly looks like it, but there
is really no trick about it. Anybody
can try it who has lame back and weak
kidneys, malaria or nervous troubles.
We mean he can cure himself right
away by taking Electric Bit.ers. This
medicine tones up the whole system,
acts as a stimulant to the liver and
kidneys, is blood purifier and nerve
tonic. 1t cures constipation, headache,
fsinting spells, sleeplesspess and me-
lancholy. 1t is purely vegetable, a
mild laxative, and restores the system
to its natural vigor. Try Electric Bit
tiers and be convinced that they are a
miracle worker. Every bottle guaran-

The Date Of Their Origin Unisnown, Tney
Are So Very Ancient.
If you desire TO know about the scar
city of really reliable data ON the histo-
ry of spoons take down your handbooks
and encyclopedias and see if it doesn't
take you "A long while to learn anything
concerning their origin, nativity
etc. In fact, the antiQuarians do not
pretend TO give us anything of value IN
that line. It is admitted that they are
"very ancient, - but just exactly how
old they are and by whom and where
they were first used are points upon
which we are left completely in the
dark. Creighton says, Spoons must
have been a very ancient invention, for
a Saxon spoon Of perforated silver gilt,
ornamented with gems, was found ia a
grave at Sarre, Thanet.
When forks were unknown, spoons
played q very important part at the ta-
BILE. Spoons of the thirteenth cent ry,
and even later, had handles terminal
ing in knob, knot, acorn or other odd
and cumbersome devices. About the
period of the restoration, of which so
much is said in English history, great
change was made in the forms Of
spoons. In some Of the unique patterns
the "spoon" part was divided into two,
three and even four parts, and the han
die always split or twisted and turned
up instead Of down and back Spoon.
Of that period Were all blunt instead o.
being pointed as in the forms generally
seen at present. They continued shor
and blunt down to the time of Goorgi
], when they were first made pointe'
and had the handles turned down in
stead of up.
About the year 1900 what wer
known as apostle spoons" were intro
duced. They were so called bccaus
they had the figures Of the 2 apostle
carved upon their handles. They wer
generally given by sponsors TO childrc
at their time of baptism. The wealth
presented the entire ~, those who coul
not afford TO indulge in such extrava
gance giving one or more, according q
they felt able.
The most curious and remarkabl
spoon in the world perhaps is cor,
nation spoon, preserved among ii
other royal relics in the tower of Loi
don. The bowl is of gold and the hW
! die OF silver. The handle is split dow
the middle and set with all kinds
. precious stones. The relic is valued
, about 100000, or upward Of $780, 0O

To Grow Teeth.

A Moscow dentist has solved the
problem Of supplying the human mouth
with false teeth which will grow into
the gums as firmly as natural ones Dr.
Zanensky has performed several sue
ressful operations ON dogs as well as
human beings The teeth are made OF
gutta percha, porcelain or metal, as the
ease 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 soft,
gralulated growth finds its way from
the patients jaw into the holes IN the
tocth This growth gradually hardens
aad 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 rom which nat
ural tooth has been recently drawn OF
whether it has been healed for some
