down again and vanishes. The next
instant black form rises on the side
of the coffin next to the audience and
looks and vanishes in it's turn. Then
the two spirits appear at the same time,
and the minute that they see each other
there is a terrific fight. They hammer

hide behind the coffin and spring upon
each other, till at last they rear them

indistinguishable in the dim light from

A Diamond-Tooth Joke.

Here is an anecdote about Brooklyn
dentist that has recently caused a smile
or two in drawing-room and club cir
cles not far from the Hights. A wealthy
man upon whom nature has bestowed
rugged and serious countenance to
mask a joking disposition called at the
office of the dentist aforesaid in actual
distress over a broken front tooth. Can
fect?' he asked eagerly.
Upon examination the dental artist
found that one of two very large and
prominent upper teeth had been dam
aged beyond rpeair. ''It must come
out" he said curtly.
mo, no, you must build it up" ex-
claimed the visitor II can't spare
that tooth. Its removal would make
my mouth look like an open portfolio. /"
''Oh, well, I can replace it," compla-
Gently answered the dentist. ''The
old one must certainly come out, but /
will put in a new one that will make
you look better than ever before 1t
will be firm and regular, and much
handso,ner than the old one"
"Ah." muttered the wealthy man.
That's what I want. Make it as at
tractive as possible
Yes, indeed. WILL said the dentist
enthusiastically. You shall have a
tooth that will be perfect in form,
white, pearly and glistening-"
Say, DOCTOR" interrupted the visitor
with mock gravity, couldn't you set a
large diamond in the middle Of it?"
"Oh, no. l wouldn't do that" replied
the dentist hastily, but in sober earnest
"Of course know that you can well af-
ford it, but it would look-well, just a
trifie too conspicuous, don't you know"
