EXPERT MULE DENTISTRY.
Dentist That Operates on Twenty-four
Animals a Day.

Mexican mining company which
owns 300 mules keeps dentist on it's
staff simply to look after the mules
teeth.
One of Mr.. Mules amiable weak
nesses is the habit of boiling his food,
which frequently causes dyspepsia and
other diseases. This boiling is not
caused by desire to hasten his meal
but because his molars, or back teeth,
having more work to perform than his
front teeth, wear away in the course OF
few years, and become much shorter
than the front ones, thus allowing the
food to pass into the stomach without
being properly masticated. In cases
of this kind the incisors. or front
teeth, have to be filed down an eighth
or quarter of an inch.
The molars of mule are 31a inches
in length, while the incisors measure
~ inches, and, judging from his signs
of pain, the nerves are as sensitive
as those of human beings. An expert
dentist operates on twenty-four mules
day.
The extracting instruments are from
2 to 3 feet in length. and the entire
case of instruments weighs fully fifty
pounds. The teeth of every mine
mule are examined and treated, if nee
essary, once or twice year.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

One Storekeeper Who Likes to Have

big retail store that has been raided

aroused the curiosity of detective
who pressed him for an explanation.

JOKES OF OXFORD DONS.

Dr. Frowd, of Corpus, was a very
chaplain, present at the battle of AL

seized with religious frenzy, dashing
round and exhorting half-stripped
sailors till the first lieutenant ordered
a hencoop clapped over him, whence
his little head continued its cackle.

Moses Grifflths, usually called Nc,

MILLIONS IN A PRUNE FARM.

If you want to make money raising
prunes and have a good time while
you are doing it come in and see me-
was the printed placard that attracted
attention in the window of Pine
street office. An agent of western
land company who had desk room
there impaired this information:
IF young man has energy and
little capital there is no investment
that will give him better return for his
money. The cultivation of prunes
has become a paying industry in the
west and northwest. Six years ago
the entire product of prunes in the
United States was less than 10000
pounds, and we imported over 66,O00,-
900 pounds every year. The Pacific
States now produce over 100000
pounds annually. New land is planted
every year. and orchards five years
old, or more, reap good harvests. The
prune trees are grated on good plum
stock and yield immensely. A good
prune orchard will produce 200 pounds
of marketable fruit year and bring
the owner at least S. for each tree.
The trees begin to bear from the
fourth year, when the yield reaches
from ten to twenty pounds for each
tree. Next year it is double. French,
Silver and Italian prunes are most
generally planted. The fruit is graded
according to the average number re-
quired to make pound. The average
price of prunes from the tree is five
cents a pound, and the best average
twenty-five prunes to the pound.-New

nIANTIc's BOARD OF GOVERNORS.
A Hot Election and a Surprise
Sprung.

The Mantle Wheelmen held a second
election for members of the Board of
Governors. last night, at the clubhouse,
and it was a hot session, and the result
was a big surprise and a disappointment
in many quarters. The first election was
held a week ago, but was declared I'M
constitutional, as many members in ar
rears in dues voted. Mr.. A. A.. DAILY, for
mer president and candidate for the
Board, entered a protest and the result
of much discussion, pro and con, was
last nights election. The Board, as
elected last week, consisted of George
Hughes, P. E. Bolton, John Lenahan,
Lynch and Lewis Shaw, and all
these men were candidates last night. In
addition there were two other candidates,
A.. A. Daily and William La Due, both
former presidents. By some fine politics
Shaw was Induced to withdraw in favor
alone and was avowedly opposed to the
President and the former Board of Gov
ernors. SO that all lands were against
him. La Due had it nicely arranged, but
shortly before the election two of his
friends left and this was his undoing.
The election opened and it was a hot
race. Buttonholing could be seen in
every corner and both sides were working
hard. The ballots were cast and then
counted, and it was seen that Daily was
elected by one vote. The other members
of the new Board ~are:-John Lynch, John
