His TEETH WERE HIS OWN.
And Yet The Facts We're Rather Out Of the
Ordinary.

-Four 6r five travelling mel arohnd
tile Hotel stGvs had been talking about
teeth. when one Of theih eot. up and
saying good night" went off to bed:
"Did you notice what fine teeth that
party had?" said man from ST.
Louis. "He won't acknowledge they
IRE false. of rather he insists that they
are Ills Swit;, and yet he doesn't quite
tell tie truth. ,S13 brother is d Gen
tist in Kansas City, and this man hffa lives
there, and my brother does Zig WORK
for him. Not that he tells me any
thing, but merely as an incident, for
everybody who knows the man knows
the circumstances. His teeth are his
own. and at the same time they are
false. You don't understand, so IN
explain, He always had unusually
fine teeth, bit about five years ago
they Showed signs Of Riggs disease,
an affection which causes the gums
to recede from the roots, leaving them
exposed some distance down from the
enameled surface. In aggravated
cases or where the. person is very SEN
sitira the disease is very palfifal and
it IS almost impossible to relieve it:
To cure it is practically impossible, for
the gums will not grow back again.
This man was Of the sensitive kind,
and although physicians and dentists
tried their skill on him they could do
nothing, and he suffered so that at last
he told my brother to extract every
tooth in his mouth and put false ones
In for him. AS nothing else could be
done my brother followed instructions
and pulled every tooth. They We're
all In perfect condition, and as my
brother. looked them over, regretting
that his patient was forced to give
them up, a novel idea occurred to
him, which he at once told to the other
man, who agreed to it willingly. This
was that instead Of making artificial
teeth, as was the usual custom, these
same teeth be used exactly as II they
were artificial. My brother, who is
frst-class dentist always, was more
than ordinarily careful on this job, al(
when he had mounted the teeth in
plate measured to q hairs breadtl
and slipped them into his patient
mouth they fitted as II they had grown
there, as 1t were, and now there ism
one man in thousand can tell tina
they are false, if, indeed, false the!
are. At the SAME time there isn't an!
more Riggs disease to trouble him."

Grating Wax and How to Make 1t.

Here is recipe for an excellent
grating wax: One pound tallow, two
pounds beeswaz, four pounds rosin:
Slowly melt all together, stir we'll and
when partially cooled pour into pans
which have been moistened OF oiled to
keep the wax from clinging too tightly
to them. When thoroughly cold
break into convenient pieces:
Raw mot boiledl linseed oil is often
preferred to the tallow, and in very
warm regions a much larger propor-
ton of rosin will make the wax less
apt to fun, reducing its cost also, RS
the beeswax is the most expensive
though an indispensable article in its
composition.
For use it should be melted and ap-
piled carefully over all exposed cuts
and often cracks around the gratis.
A small paint brush is the most con-
venient for this purpose. 1t can be
applied safely much warmer than can
be borne by the hand.

GERMANY AND CHINA,

As has been surmlsed In these col

as an insult to the German flag which

Tho Emperor politely made some ref

that in his opinion the murder Of the
German minister places upon the Ger
man army and navy the duty Of
taking the lead in the war Of
vengeance, and gives the German
government the right 20 dictate the
terms Of peace. This IL a new factor
in the Chinese problem, and one which
may present new difficulties. Russia

THE OREGON.

Oregon IN Chinese waters seems to have
been much more serious than was at
first realized. Even II there is a posi-
blity Of lifting her OF the rock that Is

The Oregon was launched at San
Francisco about seven years ago. She
won fame during the war with Spain,
when she. commanded by Captain
Charles f. Clark made a run Of 49,
900 miles down the Pacific coast, and
then turned northward. and In due
time reported for service, and took part
in the ever memorable naval battle Of
Santiago. And the great feature was
that the ship. Notwithstanding It's long

At the time Of the mishap the vessel
was in the charge Of Commander Wilde,
who had been given this position on
account OF the great confidence placed
IN him. There is no disposition to
blame the officer for the occurrence:
sim It must be a bar TO his rapid adj
vancement. It Is to be hoped that the
accident can be satisfactorily ex-
planned. and that the ship can be put
into shape for service in the conflict
that seems impending.

been received through an Associated
Press dispatch that the vessel has been
noated and is expected to reach Port
