Funny Toothache Cures.

Before the days of dentists, and when
people generally believed in the value
Of charms, there were ever so many
mysterious ways Of preventing tooth
ache.
One of these was to dress the right
side of the body first-right stocking,
right shoe, right sleeve, right glove. A
favorite plan in Scotland was to draw
a tooth, salt it well and burn it in full
view on glowing Goals. In Cornwall
many save their teeth by biting the first
young ferns that appear.
The custom of catching a common
ground mole, cutting off the paws while
the little creature still lives, and wear
ing them, is traced to Staffordshire,
England. Some people who are fond of
exercise believe that walking IL miles
mo more, no less-to get splinter of
the toothache tree that grows particu-
larly well in Canada and Virginia will
drive away the worst ache and pain
that ever tortured poor tooth.
The belief that toothache is caused
by worm at the roots is prevalent in
many parts of the world; hence this
cure: Reduce several different kinds of
herbs-the greater variety the better
to a powder. Put glowing cinder into
this powder and inhale the incense.
Afterward breathe into a cup of water
and the worm will be gone forever.

MCKINLEY HOPES FOR PEACE.
Opinion That the Royal Decree Is a
Move in That Direction.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-President
Mckinley gave expression to-day of a
strong hope for early peace. Respond

Of the Santiago campaign, he said:
Il hope for early peace now"

Italian Admiral Not Instructed to
Sieze Carthagena Custom House.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE State
Department has been informed that
the Italian squadron under Admiral
Candiani has reached Colombia n
waters, preparatory to making a de-
mand on the Republic of Colombia for
the immediate payment of $4,000
awarded by President Cleveland to
Ernesto Cerruti, an Italian citizen. 1t
is not known that the squadron has as
yet made the demand, or that any force
to execute it has been exerted. On the
contrary, the department has been Off
cially advised that the AdmiraTs in
structionS are confined to making a
demand for the complete and speedy
settlement Of the award made by the
President of the United States. His
instructions do not go to the extent Of
directing him to seize the Custom
House at Carthagena, as was at first
reported.
Although the Admiral is now prepar-
ed to exert force, the impression pre-
walls that the settlement will be reach
ed without the actual display of force.

NO OvERTURES YET.
But Prospects Have Frightened
Considerably Since Surrender.

WASHINGTON, July 10 = There
have been no overtures for peace re-
ceived by any United States Embassy
or Legation abroad or by the Depart
ment of state at Washington"
This was the statement made by
member of the Cabinet who is thor
oughly familiar with the conditions as
they exist to-day and was called forth
by various reports that ranged all the
way from an announcement that the
basis for a treaty Of peace already had
been reached, to the more guarded de-
claration that the Spanish Government
had conveyed in an unofficial manner
to the United States Government an in
timation of some of the concessions it
was prepared to make to secure peace.
The prospects for the speedy institu-
ton of peace negotiations have bright
ened considerably since the collapse of
the Spanish resistance at Santiago. The
moral effect Of that victory for the
American arms is beginning to be felt
in the direction of peace. If the Cab
met has discussed terms of peace up to
this moment, the fact has not been di-
vulged by any responsible source. Now
and then one of the Government agents
in Europe communicates some message
naturally, in view of the earnest desire
for the speedy restoration of peace en-
tertained by the European Powers, this
gossip tends to bear out the belief that
peace negotiations are at hand The
President hopes so. He has made no
concealment of his earnest desire for
speedy termination of the war Such
a position on his part is entirely re-
conciiable with the earnest purpose to
prosecute the war until its original
purpose has been attained. Before that
time any overtureS for peace must
come from Spain. The news from Ma
drid that Spain had been practically
placed under martial law is regarded as
a most hopeful sign 1t is construed
to mean purpose on the part of the
vance the turbulent elements in Spain
that might be expected to take advant-
age of the public discomfort caused by
the heavy sacrifices the Government
must make to obtain peace, in order to
cause a revolution and overthrow the
monarchy.
1t is realized here by the officials that
every day will bring a fresh crop of
peace rumors, few with any founda-
ton; but their very circulation and the
credence gained for them is regarded
as an encouraging sign of q general be-
lief that the Spanish cause is near its
end.
