AND THE DENTIST.
An Unvouohed-For Tale which Has .
Moral.

People are being greatly diverted
by the story of misadventure which
is said to have befallen a gentleman
who had been paying his addresses
with what success will be presently
seen, to lady who had fascinated him
by her bewitching appearance on q
bicycle, says a Paris correspondent Of
the London Telegraph. He had no.
ticed her in his frequent excursions
on his motor car in the neighborhoo6
of this city and being deeply smitter
by her attractions had followed and
made inquiries about her. The vicomte
had ascertained that she was the wife
of dentist in practice here, but this
discovery had not the effect of cooling
his ardon On the contrary, he had
pursued the bicycle and it's fair rider
with more zeal than ever, until one
day he awaited himself of an oppor-
tunity to enter into conversation, and
was informed to his infinite delight
that he might call. Day after day he
paid visit to the object of his admit
ration. always selecting the moment
her husband happened to be away
from home. At last, however, he be-
came SO pressing in his attentions that
dence and promptly confided her adj
venture to the partner of her joys and
sori a@s, who, quite understanding the
positioi, in which she had thought
lessly placed herself, sat down to con-
coct {, little scheme of revenge. The
next time that the gentleman put in
an appearance he was admitted as be-
fore, h.S he had scarcely begun to pay
the usual compliments when her hus-
band wttixo3 quietly into the draw
ing room. a:..s bIanaly asked whether
the visi+o" j.;.d not come for a consul
tation. F'aDcying that he saw his way
very neatly out of the scrap:: the vi
comte replied that one OF his teeth
was giving him good deal of trouble
and soon he was closeted with the
dentist in the operating room. A glance
into the mouth of the extemporiZed
patient revealed the fact that there
was not the slightest cause for tete-
a-tete of this kind, but a perfectly
sound molar having been pointed out
to him as the offender the dentist,
rising to Z; occasion, declared that
it was beyond cure. A m,mei:t later
there was a sharp cry. well! that
did r.1 ta;.e long to do. My fee is 20
francs tiao operator calmly said.
Paying the money the vicomte bolted
out of the house a sadder and wiser
man ard soon afterward peals of NOR
ry laughter we're ringing in the draw
ing room which he had entered with a
triumphant air c.,:v & few minutes be-
fore. Such is the st."-y and people are
smiling over it witisnt searching very
closely into it's details.

NEVER CLOSE THEIR EYES.
Snakes Always Keep These Organs Opcr
in Sleep or in Death.

Snakes Always Keep These Organs Open
in Sleep or in Death.
From the Saturday Post: One of the
most curious facts with regard to
snakes is that their eyes are never
closed. Sleeping OF waking, alive or
dead, they are always wide open. This
is because there are no eyelids. The
eye is protected only by strong scale.
which forms part of the epliermal
envelope, and is cast off in piece
with that every time the reptile
mouths. This eye-plate is as clear and
transparent as glass, and allows the
most perfect vision. while at the same
time it is SO hard and tough as to
perfectly protect the delicate organ
within from the thorns and twigs
among which. in flight from enemies
or in pursuit of prey, the reptile so
often hurriedly glides, as any close
observer of the habits of the snake
can readily discover.

Harrison's vote in that election.
Mckinley received 603,5l4 more
votes than Bryan. The republican
gain was in the states that are
dominated by the banks, corpora
ton and trusts. Harrison's
plurality over Cleveland in 1892
in the states of New York, Pen
nsylvania, Massachusetts, New
Jersey and Connecticut amounting
to only 2l,866. while McKinley's
vote in thos. five states exceeded
Bryan's by 97S,O43. Three of
these FIVE states gave their electoral
votes to Cleveland in 1892, namely
New York, New Jersey, and Con
nect'cut.
The vote cast for Bryan outside
New York, Pennsylvania and Con-
necticut is larger than that cast
for Mckinley, McKinley's plural
ity over Bryan in the whole United
States being only 603,5l4, while
his plurality in these three states
foots up 6l7,S37.
The foregoing analysis of the
vote in 1896 demonstrates the
great vitality Of the Chicago plat
form and points out the line of
duty. IF those who voted for
Bryan in 1896 will take up the
work, at once, of educating the
voters to just appreciation OF
the Chicago platform and line up
for the purpose Of securing it's
readoption in 1900, the triumph
