Funny Toothache Cures.

Before the days of dentists, and when
peopls generally believed in tho value
Of charms there were ever so many
mysterious ways of preventing tooth
ache
One of these was to dress the right
side If the body first-right stocking,
right shoe, right sleeve, right glove. A
favorite plan in Scotland was to draw
tooth, salt it well and burn it In full
view ON glowing Goals. In Cornwall
many save their .teoth by biting the first
young ferns that appear.

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 cup of water
and the worm will be gone forever.

Of the many extraordinary drinks
regularly consumed the blood of live
horses may perhaps be considered the
most so. Marco Polo and Carpini were

The principal export from Catania is
snow, in which most lucrative trade
is carried on in Malta and parts of

Wonderful Pumping Engines.

The standard attained by the per-
formance of modern pumping engines is
pretty high, az was illustrated by an
incident which occurred not long ago
here in New York, where some large
pumping engines that had recently been
set up and were working at rather high
speed and almost absolutely without
noise were inspected by an expert in
such matters who hailed from an inte-
rior city. He remarked, "Well, those
engines work very nicely now, but wait
until You get to pumping water at that
speed and then you will hear something
from them probably"
His astonishment may perhaps be i'm
agined when it was demonstrated to
him that they were at that moment
pumping water and had been continu-
ously doing SO for 4S hours. s.-American

They Help One Another.

A singular custom prevails among
the Tartars or Kurds. If a man gets in
to difficulties-that is, loses his cattle
or other movable property-he pours q
little brown sugar into piece of col
ored cloth, ties it up and carries one
such parcel to each Of his friends and
acquaintances. In return he is present
ed, according to circumstances, with a
COW or sheep or sum Of money. He is
thus at once set on his legs again. The
same method is adopted when young
man wishes to marry, but is not in a
position to satisfy the parents Of his
intended bride in the matter of the
"bashlyg''-that is, marriage dover.
Only in this case he does not go round
himself, but sends friend or servant.

w. s. Gilbert does not retain all of
his humor for use in his librettos.
In the early days of his success, when
Gilbert and Sullivan were considered
by managers as the "sure winners" in
the comic opera field, a young woman
who was q member of one of the "Pina
fore" companies wrote to Gilbert tell
ing him of her approaching marriage
with young man Of good position and
family
Gilbert congratulated the young wo-
man and expressed the hope that her fu-
ture might be prosperous and happy.
Only little more than month pass
ed, ami another letter from the same
girl reached him, in which she stated
that her engagement with the young
man had been broken and that she had
accepted another suitor.
He replied that he had every conf
dence in her Judgment and again ex
pressed his hearty wishes for her well
fare.
1t was almost two months after that
that Gilbert received a third letter from
the same girl, who informed him that
young Lord - had proposed and that
she had accepted him after breaking
her engagement with No. Q
Gilbert's humor could no longer
Withstand the temptation, and he wrote

a princess was brought before a

deported TO Olouetz for life.
From her Punishment she was
brought back - Moscow on the fur
ther charge OF having falsifed her
certificate of baptism. She was born
H. 1s47, which date she changed to
1867. The jury declined to convict the
prisoner on "a trivial charge about
woman's age" doubtless considering
her banishment a sufficient punish
ment.
