TRICKS DONE BY DENTISTS.
3sometsn~- Gaallled Upon to Do, Queer ThtnE. by People Whs Pat

Medical men are not the only pro- fessional. peEsens to, leagp curious se- cretS regarding those who patropizea them. A dentist with Q large down town practice Tds in a ta1kative niood the other day, says the Chicago Chron- icle. People in my line of ife,'' said he, "occasionally run across odd things. For instance, about year ago a good looking young man came into our of- flee one day and asked that we make an artificial set of teeth to incase the splendid lot of natural worries with which nature had endowed him. We filled the order, which was an exceed imgly expensive one. The extra set of. teeth, fitting over his own, gave the man an ugly, prominent mouth and totally spoiled his good looks, but he offered no explanation and we asked no ques- tions. have the best reason for sup posing now that the purchaser was burglar and that he got ths teeth for the express purpose Of altering his ap- psarance and thus making identifca- tioR moro difficult.
 You are aware that many are very spartieular concerning the plate in which artificial teeth are set. Some want gold, others silver, vu.canite and what not. But did you ever hear of patients wearing their own initials in- side the mouth?
 ''Ws recently prepared an upper set for . gentleman we'll known in theatri- cal circles, and in the platinum roof was ste in wires of gold the wearer's ini- tials. Another roof plate, which we were privileged to see, was a perfect masterpiecs of artistic work. There were three horsemen depicted in gold wire, fine as hair, foreground of catstone and crescent moon of gieam- ing Silver-all set in the composition of the roof. The teeth were of good quality, but not remarkable, and tho price was exactly $500. A person un- conscious of the value of the inner roof would have set the price at $2s.
 "Eery richly enaulsLad was the danc- ing girl which decorated the false roof of a ons-tims millionaire. The pictured lady wore slippers set with tiny ala monds and the owner, being 2 great smoker, Spcrted an ordinary set when desirous of indulgins in fragrant whiT, thereby never disooLoring the dainty enamel of the choice article. We were oIlcs aSksd. to fashion . plate from the tusk of an elephant, but as this would have been a difficult and unsatisfactory proceeding we were obliged to reject the offer.
 The most absurd thing we were ever requested to insert in false roof was tiger's eiaw-a trophy of an h. dian jungle hunt. We managed 1t. and to prevent the claw from wounding tho tongue of our patient We tipped it bluEtly with gold. After awhile the tip fell off and the wearsr's tongue was torn.' To Us, he came in rage, and finally. decided to wear the claw as . chain pendant"

HELEN KELLER IS A MARVEL.
Deaf, Dumb and Blind, Yet She Gains Thorough Edueation-Her
 Student Life. aES

Helen Keller, the deaf, dumb and blind girl, has overcome tremendous obstacles and is now progressing we'll as student at Radcliffe, says an ex- change. ~---7r-----------------
 The bulk of her preparation for college was accomplished under Ar thur Gilman's instruction, aided by Miss Sullivan, for several years her teacher. By the employment of sew eral ingenious instruments she mas tered geometry and algebra, while with raised letter hooks she has se- cured grasp on English, Latin and Greek. Her examiElation papers were in the Braille raised point system and the answers she wrote on a type- wsiter, in the use Of which she is an expert. Besides passing in all the required subjects Miss Keller has entered Radcliffe With freshman Eng ish and advanced Frenc-i to the good.
 At the lectures Helen is invariably accompanied by Miss Sullivan, who sits close beside her and gives her, in the manual language, whatever the instructor may be saying: The fine ness of her soul and the exquisite, na- ture of her thoughts are evidenced by the essays written during her preparation.
 For all Helen Kellers remarkable intellectually she is, in the main, just D pleasant, normal girl. She rides a tandem, sews, crochets, embroiders, and, most marvellous of all plays a capital game of chess. She is with- out doubt the most wonderful college girl the world has yet seen. .

LADIES' HOME JOURNAL.

Four short stories, the beginning Of
n serial, and the concluding chap
ters Of another give the August La
dies Hcme Journal claim to the title
Of Midsummer Story Number. There
are besides upward Of thirty other fea-
lures: college Girls Larks and

England" my Summer with Some
Chipmunks," "a Missionary in the
Great West" by Rev. Cyrus Townsend
Brady, How a Girl Can Work Her Way

Pictorially the August Journal is made
unusually sumptuous by the work Of
nine illustrators and by innumerable
photographs. Through Picturesque

FOR AUGUST.

"A Prisoner Among Fflipinos" Is the
title of Lieutenant Commander James
c. Gillmore's account Of his extraor-
binary experiences in the Philippines,
which begins in the August McClure's.
Lieutenant Gilmore was captured by
the savage tribes while out in a small
boat with a scouting party on the east
coast Of Luzon. He had more than one
narrow escape from death. For several
months these men travelled hundreds Of
miles through the heart Of Luzon, en-
during ~unspeakable h%ardships, with no
prospect Of escape from an awful fate at
the hands OF the bloodthirsty Tagals.
The illustrations by w. R. Leigh after
the authors own sketches are marvel
ously graphic.
Since the appearance of the Jungle
Book animal stories have become pop
ular, but it Is doubtful whether anyone
ever tried to tell a story about a porcu-
pine. In the August McClure's, how
ever, Mr.. William Davenport Hubert
tells about a porcupine living in the
woods OF Michigan and describes his
mischievous escapades. his adventures
with human and brute foes, and the
misfortune that befell him in his old
age. as II he were a real human being.
This article is illustrated with pictures

In times past England's military he
roes were richly rewarded by the gov
eminent for their services OF late
years. however, the custom of bestow-
ing great gifts upon successful SOL
oilers has come into disfavor, and the
royal grants of years agone are not
now repeated. Probably the most sue
cessful general Of any age, from q
financial point of view, was the cele-
brated John Churchill. duke of Marl-
borough. For his famous vctory at
Blenheim alone he received the royal
manor of Woodstock. upon which
Queen Anne subsequently erected the
magnificent Blenheim palace. At the
same time the nations gratitud, was
expressed in the highly practical form
Of a perpetual pension, to himself and
heirs forever, of the very respectable
sum Of $4,000 per annum. The MARI
borough perpetual" was actually paid
to the great warriors descendants
right up to the year 1884. when 1t was
commuted for f107. 7s0. Up to this date
the English nation had paid the

sum of f7sS. 900. exclusive altogether Of

SMALLPOX AT NOME.
Visitors Delayed Three Days Owing to
a Coal Famine.

Victoria, B. c., July 26.-Smallpox
has come out from Nome, notwith-
standing the vigorous quarantine, ac-
cording to the report given by the pas
sengers on the M%anauense, which has
arrived from st. Michael.
When they were at Dutch Harbor,
where they delayed three days owing
to a coal famine, the passengers heard
a report that a man who swan ashore
from a schooner off Nebraska had
spread the disease there. One case was
reported.
The Manauense reports that a STAN
pede took place July 10 from St. Mich
ael to a point ten miles from the city,
where ~goldbearing sand was said to
have been discovered. Many returned
that night and reported that they had
found little gold.
c. r. Crow Of Chicago, a passenger,
came from Koyukuk district. When he
left there on July 5 there were about
500 people in the district.
The Nome Coal Digger OF July Z
says:
Quarantine Officer Call said last
night that notwithstanding all reports
there were but thirteen cases now in
the smallpox hospital. This is exact,
he said. Seventeen were renorted hut
not verified. The one man who died
was w. Wormsley Of Texas"
Numerous Eskimos hereabouts are
affected With a curious disease, much
like the influenza or grip, which has
already caused several deaths and
threatens to be fatal with many others.
1t is the same disease, apparently, that
a%ttrackked the natives at Point Barrow
and across from the Diomedes on the
Siberian shore a few months ago.

Melinite "a \ high explosive is not
considered by the Russians equal to

is to be used. In addition to the heavy
projectiles $50. 900 light shrapnel were
made. Mslinite shells for elsven-inch
guns have not been found satisfactory.
and 1t is uncertain whether their con-
struction will be continued. More than
$500 900 has been spent on setting up

which working at full pressure 200. 900
shrapnel for three-inch Quick-fring

LITERARY NOTES.
A Story of the West-The Latest Ma
gaines.

Brown of Lost River" a story of the
west, by Mary E. Stickney. This is a
book that every lover of the west ought
to read. /: is a delightful love story,
the hero a breaker of horses, Gin whom
nature and education seemed to have
worked together in the making Of a
gentleman" The heroine is a young
lady from Boston, visiting her brother,
who lives on a ranch some so miles
from Cheyenne. She came out t. the
wild and woolly west" expecting to
rough it," but finds silk portieres,
Persian rugs, high art furniture and the
latest books" She Is charmed and
surprised at everything.
While the tale can hardly be called
thrilling, because there are no greatly
complicated, exciting, or pell-mell
events, it is very entertaining, holding
ones interest to the last. There are
no particularly great flights of litera-
ture, no straining at descriptive effects.
no reckless gush Of small talk or cyni-
cism. 1t is pure from beginning to end
"A faithful picture Of our western
ranch life. with not one tiresome page.
1t helps to prove beyond question that
in the west there is a vast field, a prac-
tically ineXhaustible supply of material
that will produce a literature OF its
own, and a host of characters as famous
as any of Thackery, Scott or Dickens,
that are now household words and
pets for the literary.

United States are securing in the mar
Europe. There is abundant reason for
this note of alarm. Coal, iron and man
ufactured goods of all sorts are going
abroad from the United States these
days in larger quantities than ever be-
fore. In 1890 not quite 1000 900 tons
of coal were shipped out of the United
States. In the eleven months OF the
fiscal year 1900, ended with May, g.
500, 900 were cent out. The growth in
the expectation of other products has
been equally great in the past ten years
Leading newspapers in Germany,
France, Italy and other European ma
tons are also calling attention to the
shadow of America which is tow
ering over the market" All the great
countries in the world are feeling the
effects of the new American competi-
ton. This is why it happens that the
volume of Americas exports, which
was $3.50 ,OOO. 900 in 1896, the last year of
the democratic administration, has
grown to 81. 1896, OOO, 900 in the fiscal
year 1900. No growth in expectation at
all approaching that which the United
States has had since the republican
party returned to power in 1897 has ev-
err been experienced in any other coun
try in the world in the same length Of
time.
There are several reasons for this in
dustrial and commercial expansion.
One is the fact that the raw material
Of manufactures is possessed in a larg-
er degree by the United States than by
any other country. Another, and an
there is n party now in control of the
government of the United States which
has both the intelligence and the cour-
| age to devise a policy by which the
country's advantages are turned to the
best possible account. The deposits Of
iron and coal in the United States and
lHt ldclllileS lOT IdlSluS "OOl anu COl-
ton were just as good during the days
Of democratic ascendency as they are
now. but they were not utilized as in
diligently as they are at the present
time. The inventive genius Of the
American people was as strong then
as it has been since. and the desire of
| Americans for steady employment was
just as active as it is today, but under
democratic rule the means for their
qualification were necessarily made
Quate. With the advent of republican
sway in the United States came bust

Helen Gould is the heroine of an
other incident that will be a shock to
some of the Goldfish a%ristocracy Of her
native heath. Miss Gould recently
visited the Yellowstone park in com-
pany with several friends. She was
more interested in the soldiers in the
park than the geysers, for no sooner
had she reached the park than she be-
gan investigating the military condi-
lions. At Fort Yellowstone the SOL
diers, wishing to do the handsome
thing by their distinguished visitor, got
up a little dance in her honor. When
Miss Gould was informed of their gal
liant act she expressed the keenest
pleasure and at once declared that she
would go over and watch the boys
dance After the grand march and
a number or two, one bold trooper, a
private in the ranks, walked up to
Miss Gould and saluting without a
trace of embarrassment, said: Miss
Gould, will You please do this waltz
with me-" Thank you, certainly"
replied the famous little woman, jump
ing up quickly and throwing aside a
light wrap. OF they went to a lively
waltz, the bold trooper bounding over
the ball room as carelessly and happy
as if Miss Gould was his best girl. The
other troopers were aghast for a few
moments, until it dawned upon them

Indian Agent Getchel Of the Devils Lake
agency, Fort Totten. North Carolina, has re-
ported to the Interior Department on the
second outbreak Of smallpox at and near
Rolla. N. D., and the restitution Of the In
dams in that section. The agent went to

cases Of smallpox. He alleges that two
priests stationed on that reservation and at
ST. Johns near Rolla. told the people that
the disease was not smallpox. Notwith-
standing requests from the agency author
tiles not to hold services on account Of the
quarantine. one Of the priests ignored the
communications. and not only held regular
services, but also celebrated a public mar
riage. Both the groom and bride later were
taken to the pest house. To maintain
quarantine, the agent reports, would re-

dition to the police force. in view of the
peoples confidence in the priests medical
knowledge.
The condition OF the people, according to
the report, Is bad. The crops are nearly
failure. and the people have been prevented
by the quarantine from doing the usual
work. from which to get their supplies.
Sixty thousand pounds Of pork and large
radons of beans, coffee, tea, rice ETC., are
urged to be sent Immediately.
