RepIevined His Teeth.


A suit to replevin set of false teeth has
been entered on the clerks books at Ma

term of court. Two years ago Capt. Tom
Wardwell, having no money and wishing
to go to Boston to join vessel, took an
old-style, gold-plated set Of upper teeth to
William Gubtill and borrowed $40. giving
the false teeth as security. Capt. Ward
well went on long voyage, and while he
was away Gubtill. having lost hts upper
teeth, though, he would experiment with
the plate. The teeth fitted as If they had
been made for him. and whensCaptt Ward
well returned to redeem his property Cub
till refused to give them up. Is
The lawyers say that Capt wardWell,
while right in law. has veryepoor chance
of winning back his teeth. The writ of re-
plevin calls for personal property. fbut ac-
cording to Maine rulings an article which
is SO closely associated with aoman as his
false teeth are is not personal property.

In place against the roof of his mouth no
legal process can take them away, though

Should he take the teeth out for an In

He Was willing to Listen.

FROM the New York Journal.
A good story of a clergyman and a cab
driver comes from a little fishing village in
the north Of Scotland. The chapel of this
queer and sparsely popu!a ted town. depend
ed entirely for it's supply on the occasional
help OF the clergy in neighbering towns.
1t so happened that upon a very rainy Sum
Gay a new clergyman from the town of

little chapel, and in order to- get there he
engaged vehicle which the English know
as a N.Y. In which, through the pouring

mon the natives, so he took it upon himself
to pull the rope. leaving the 9cabby mean
while outside in the wet. For long time
nobody arrived but finally one solitary in
dividual did appear. and sat down in a pew
The clergyman then .donned his surplice
and began the service When this was
ended he observed that, inasmuch as there
was but one member of the congregation,
ne thought 1t would be well to dispense
with the sermon.
''Oh, no. sir. Please go on with the SER
mon."
When half way through he expressed the
fear that perhaps he was firing his listener,
and was much gratified to learn from his
own lips that such was not the case.
Il should be glad to listen to you for
hours. SIR" he said, and SO the sermon ran
on to an hour in length, and finally the
service was concluded.
The preacher then expressed a desire to
shake hands with so f1attering an auditor.
And then the trick came out-a trick which
the clergymans near-sghtedness had pre-
vented him from seeing at once
His listener was none other than the
driver Of the fly, who was all the time
charging him at so much an hour for the
use of his vehicle.

Sailors Eyes and Electricity.

Owing to the intensity of the electric
light used on board of men-of-war men are
frequently affected with eye complaints,
which in some cases have led to total blind
ness, rays a French military journal. 1t
has been observed that eyes in which the
iris is not heavily charged with pigments.
that is to say, gray and blue eyes. are
more likely to be injuriouely affected than
brown eyes. These eye troubles are as
cribed to two causes. viz. the intensity of
the light and the action of the ultraviolet
rays. Oculists recommend the interposition
between the eye and any powerful light of
q transparent substance. which will inter-
cept the ultra-vioiet rays. such as. for in
