Rays Find False Teeth.

Albert Brown, aE aged and paralytic citizen of Paterson, N. J., was out and in a set of false teeth for two days. He swallowed them Sunday. and as he could not speak the whereabouts of the artificial grinders was a mystery. IL was decided that since be could not have walked away with them and could not have thrown them away be-. cause of his paralyzed condition, he must have swallowed them. The K rays discovered ths missing set Of mouth upholstery snugly reposing in the upper part of the esophagus. They were successfully removed and clamp ed to their proper position.--New York Journal.

The Law ot Libel in Germany.

More light on the law of libel comes from Germany. A presiding magistrate ruled that "To call a man pig or dog would be an insult out to say he was a pig-dog was inoffensiye-such an an- imal did not exist, and. therefore, ths suit" The irritated plaintiff made his bow, adding: Very well, MT. Judge; good morning. You are schweine- hundw There was commotion in court, but the magistrate could not go back on hIs definition of the term.

As may be supposed, he was much de- sired guest at country houses, where be invariably proved "the life of the party" It was under these cireum- stances that he first attracted the at tention of the late Lord Beaconsfield. Disraeli was never happy when one of house party in the country. His wife used to declare that, feeling bored and not s.in touch" with the rest of the party, he used to sulk and eat too much instead of talkin at dinner. This made him inclined to be bilious, and she would be under the necessity of taking him home to Hughenden to re- cover.

Lord Beaconsfeld crept into the room and hung on the fringe of the circle of laughing guests, and very soon an unwilling smile was seen to creep around his mouth. the said smile ending in a hearty burst os laughter, which effeetually scattered the last shadow of the weight of de- pfession which had been smothering him. Soon after this pleasant intro duction he made Monty Corry" his secretary, and they worked we'll to-. gether for the remainder of Disraeli's life.

RELIC OF THE WOODEN NAVY

Old Frigate Franklin WIZ Soon Be
 Abandoned as Useless.
 From the Washington Star: 'eThe ancient frigate Franklin, relic of the old wooden navy, which has been used for many years as receiving ship at the Norfolk navy yard, is soon to be deserted hulk" said naval officer who has recently visited the Virginia naval station. She was examined not long ago by board of officers and it is be- lieEed they will submit eondemnatory report. The policy of the department, as is generally understood, is to do away with the time-honored but an- tiquated and out-of-date system of re- ceiYing ships, substituting for them shore barracks similar in general char acter to the quarters occupied by en- listed men at army posts. The tackles Of the old school are much opposed to this plan. They cling to their old fogy ideas of a seafariDg life and believe a recruit should be placed upon the water from the very first. To break him in on shore and have him live in a bar racks, they say, will make the fellow Iandlubber all of his natural life. While the receiving ships of today are noth- ing more than great floating houses. there is nevertheless an air Of the sea about them and this the old dogs among the men love. Dismantled and roofed over, the ships haven't much resemblance to a seagoing craft An other thing in connection with the re- eeiying ships is that the families of commanding officers are allowed to live aboard. The Franklin is historic old boat, and it has been suggested that one might buy her when she is put up at auction and place the craft on ex- hibition in different ports. This would hardly seem to be q profitable under taking,

Canadian Otter ss...ss, s4:.d slides Down
 ltni Ja-t for Fun
 It seems strange to think that any full grown, fouf-footed animal should indulge in play like child, and yet this is what the otter does. His amusement is tobaggaRing, and his playground is a slope, covered with ice or snow, that goes down grade into pool of water. No little boy, with a aeW sled, ever enjoyed coast down an icebound hill more than this beau- tiful creature from the frozen T ,sh. The otter is quite large, sometimes weighing as much as 9 pounds. He resembles the seal and the mink, be- Ing, however. of heavier build, and Is both supple and strong. Living for the most part in water, lie preys on fish which his swimming and diving ability enables him to catch easily. The entrance to his home. which is a burrow in the bank of a stream, is Snder the water. In the early spring when the ice begins to thaw, these animals start on their travels from one VI ~S4AA NO od0tuC1t SOlltNlll4Go 5pSh&- Ing months on the journey. If they happen to see an inviting hill by tho wayside they immediately stop their pilgrimage and prepare for some sport. One of the number leaves the water and slowly climbs the slope, making a smooth hollow in the ice with his wet body. When the slide is pre- pared. he lies fiat on his belly, thrusts his nose forward, and turning his fore paws under his soft sides, goes sail ing swiftly down. His speed steadily increases until he reaches the water. Silently he parts the surface and is lost from sight for few seconds; then his head appears above the surface and you can hear him give call which sounds like a whistle. This is a sig nal. The next otter assumes the posi- Iron and shoots down to the bottom to join his companion who has mean while crawled out on the ice Then another whistle and the next in order slides and plunges, and the perform ance Is kept up until each one has several trips to his credit.-Exchange

london Decision That Would Cause As-
 tonishment in This Country.
 A london magistrate has just made from the bench a statement which, if 1t is ever duplicated by a competent court in this city, would or might have consequences terrible even to imagine, l. seems that on one of the urban rail- ways there had been crowded train. A woman had tried to force her way into 8 compartment already fully oc- cGpied and her efforts had excited a mild pro1est from one of the pas- eengers already seated. The protest ing remarks were taken amiss by tbe woman $ husband, fight followed and then an arrest of the pugnacious hus- 0and. It is not matter of any con- sequence whether he or the other man was at fault for the scrimmage; what is at least interesting is the fact that the magistrate before whom the case came formally announced that nobody has a right to enter a railway carriage which is already full Those who take tickets at the starting point he said, are entitled to seats ~nd tickets taken at intermediate sta- tions are subject to there being room for the holders. If the company issues tickets i'll excess of the number of seats provided the holders may bring an ac. tion for damages, wait for the next train or demand the return of their money. Persons in carriage which is full have legal, as well as moral right to prevent others from en- deaves:-g to enter it and the sooner the public understands this the bet ter, as no one has right to incon. yenience passengers already in their places. Such is the English law, accord. ing to this interpreter of it. Patrons Of our own elevated and surface cars are not likely even to ask if there Is any such law in this country They are Sc we'll habituated to travelling in cruel discomfort that the impulse to make ef. fective protest against it has been lost

HAWAII IN THE PUBLIC EYE
Politics in Hawaii.

From the Chicago Times Herald.
Out in Hawaii the demagogues and
spellbinders reverse the American
practice and actually appeal TO the IA
tive instead of to the foreign vote.
But the principle is the same, as was
shown in the recent elections. and
much more rational because the ia.
tives of Hawaii are relatively much
stronger than the foreigners in the
United States.
So deeply influenced were all par
ties by their knowledge OF the native
strength that the candidate for con
