AN HONEST ARTIST.

He Would Not Paint a Lie Even For
Napoleon.
There was no love lost between the
Emperor Louis Napoleon and his cousin,
Prince Napoleon, whom the Parisians
called "Plon Plon. The prince used to
make abusive speeches against the en-
peror, which people We're only too ready
to repeat to him. "Let him alone,
Louis Napoleon would reply. 'He is
too well known. No one would turn me
out to place him on the throne.
The emperor was correct, for no one
said a good word about "Plon Plon.
He was commonly believed to have
shown the white feather in the Crimea
and never exposed himself where the
lead was falling. An English lady, who
in her young days mingled With French
society, tells in her "Foreign Courts
and Foreign Homes" a story as discred-
liable to Prince Napoleon as it is hon
orable to French artist.
While the artist was painting the
historical picture of the battle of the
Alma. which the emperor had ordered,
Prince Napoleon called at the painters
studio to make known to him the facts.
On leaving he said he wished the prom
inent figure in the battle to be himself
mounted on his white charger. He sent
the horse to the artist so that he could
paint its exact portrait When the pic
ture was finished and invitations were
sent out for a "private vicw." the
white charger was seen, a prominent
figure in the battle, but without rider.
On hearing of this terrible omission
the prince sent an aid-de-camp to ask
the reason. The honest artist said the
horse should remain if the prince wish
ed, but no rider would be on it, "Tell
the prince have never yet painted

ordered the horse to be rubbed ont.

Yesterday afternoon my wife made

The two of 'em were singing away to-

the girl would look in the dress and the
girl thinking of the pleasures of the party
for which the dress was being made, when
something happened.

than the inclination to practice it, for
one must have plenty of time to save,

is a question of saving, then a white

dangerously ephemeral.
Perhaps the happiest medium is a
petticoat of muslin and lace with an
intermediate or sandwiched flounce of
silk. Usually is this mounted on to
little band of it's own, and either tackled
or buttoned on to the muslin or lace
foundation, so that it is easily re-
moved when desired. OF a truth, we
owe the skirt dancer a big debt of
thanks for these two very tempestuous
petticoats. Without that terpsichorean
assistant we should, possibly, still be
welded to the solid satisfaction of
Scotch and Swiss needlework, the one
time ideal of a perfect and persuasive

that cat did not remain. On the contrary,
1t rose up with a prolonged and awful
yowl. Then it turned several complicated
somersaults, apparently stood for sec

into the next room, brushing against the
girl and leaving several picturesque
splashes of yellow custard upon lne dainty

TEETH ARE MADE OUT or PAPER.
Dentists Now FIJI Patients Mouths With
Paper Pulp.


From the New York Press.
Paper teeth are the latest thing in
dentistry. For years some substance
has been sought for which could replace
the composition commonly employed for
making teeth and fortune awaited the
man who was lucky enough to hit upon
the right material. Although paper has
some disadvantages, they are small
compared to its many qualifications,
and paper teeth are likely to be used
exclusively, at least until more per-
feet material is found.
Up to this time china has been used
almost entirely but it presents so many
disadvantages that dentists always
have been on the lookout for some other
substance which could replace it. Not
only does china not resist the action of
saliva and turns black, but china af-
fects the nerves of the jaws. People
who wear false teeth often complain of
suborbital neuralgia and this is put
down by many dentists as being caused
by the heat or cold acting on the china
or porcelain. Porcelain or mineral COM
position also is liable to chip or break
and for these reasons has never been
satisfactory
The paper teeth are made of papier-
mache which is submitted to tre-
mendous pressure until they are as
hard as required. Their peculiar COM
position renders them cheap, and the
price of a set of teeth will go down
considerably owing to the new inven-
ton. The color of the papier- mache
can also be made to vary, which is an
important point, as no two sets of teeth
are identical in color, some teeth having
strong yellowish cast, while others
are blush white. In order, therefore,
to obtain the right tint the coloring
matter has only to be introduced into
the mixture before the tooth is cast in
order to match the other teeth exactly.
It is in this particular that china teeth
often fail to appear natural, their color
| differing from the other teeth in the
mouth and showing that the tooth is
| artificial.
Another novelty with regard to teeth
| consists in their filling. Dentists no
| longer use as much gold or platinum as
| they did formerly--in fact, metal fill
| ings are out of date. Bone or ivory Is
| the substance employed, and both pos
sess the advantage of appearing more
| natural. OF course, those who already
have gold or platinum filings will not
| go to the expense and trouble of hav-
| ing them removed, but they have been
| tabooed by the smart set, and in future
| nothing so conspicuous will be used.
| Neither bone nor ivory satisfies the
| dentists. however, and they are hunting
| around for some composition which will
| be both durable and plastic and yet
will match the color of the teeth.
