Calye as n Gardener.

Mile. Emma Calve is probably the
only great prima donna who combines
farming with her brilliant operate
achievements. She has a large farm
at Cevennes, and rusticates there each
summer.
Last summer the famous singer went
into her kitchen garden and cared for
her own vegetables. No one was al
lowed to touch them, and the results
we're far better than when her gar
lener cared for the things. Mile. Calve
wore a short skirt of the blue jeans,
sabots and linen shirt waist. She
spaded and hoed and watered her vege-
tables day after day, and proudly sent
gifts of the finest fruits of her labors
20 friends in Paris
The prima donna was very Ill and
nervous when she went TO Cevennes,
but this free, open-air life and the yIg-
prous exercise soon restored her to the
most robust health, and when friends
ask her the secret Of her cure she an

STERLING ELL1or's BICYCLE STAND.

problem has been recently made by
Sterling Elliott of Newton, Mass. who
Is the recognized head of the League
of American Wheelmen. Because Of
his familiarity with all phases of BIZ
cycle matters he is eminently fitted to
deal with the problem. Mr.. Elliott has
lately been granted patent for stand
which permits the storing of a wheel
In the least possible floor area. The
economy Of space is secured by placing
the bicycle on end-that is, resting
alone on the rear wheel, which is ac-
complished by the aid of two wall sup
ports, each adapted to receive and hold
the rim of wheel. In order to make
the bicycle absolutely secure a metal
loop is hinged on the top one of these
supports and after the wheel has been
placed in position the loop is dropped
over the front wheel, engaging it
firmly.

Mark Twain and General sherman.

Some man who wants to spoil good
story has raised a direct issue of verac-
ity between Mark Twain and the late
General William T. Sherman. Mark
Twain, in the published accounts of his
recent interview with Emperor Francis
Joseph of Austria, makes the emperor
offer, after Twain had apologlzed for
forgetting his German grafton, to
translate it for him from English into
German. General Sherman, on the
other hand, in the diary of his trip to
Austria in 1872, has Francis Joseph
apologizing because he is unable to
speak English.

The Teeth.

Imperfect teeth are a sure sign of
civilization. Perfect teeth IRE found,
as a rule, only among savages.
Big teeth and square jaws are NJ
ways found with low forcheads aud
small craniums.
Out of 100 teeth of adults that twcn-
ty-ive years ago would have been
r%uthlcssly extracted, ninety-nine are
now saved by science.
Women dentists have ceased to at
tract attention as a novelty, there be-
ing now over 400 of the sex engaged in
the profession.
Modern dentists can remedy crook
ed or projecting jaws by special appli-
ances that gradually train the jaws
into their normal position.
Dental science was utterly lost to
the world for 1000 years, or during the
dark ages, and only revived in 100.

of the use of coal as fuel. Taking the

that the coal was always here, it ap-

It may be said that its potentialities,

kind, were never realized fully until
the present century. Up to its dawn,
aside from the warming Of the body
and the cooking Of food, little import.
ance was attached to the fuel question.
For these purposes a few fagots OF
billets of wood sufficed. But in time
we discovered that in the fire there
was a giant a thousand times more
powerful than the tabled monsters OF
antiquity.
