New Teeth.

With her second childhood Adellne Woodfin, eolored woman of Jeffer- sonviile, aged 75, is cutting a new set of teeth. For years Mrs Woodfin has been toothless and unable to eat solid food, but large jaw teeth have ap- peared and evidences of full set are apparent. She is Z little woman, of the ante-bellum days, who has bee2 earninga living mending cement sacks. and she is convinced that the cement dust which she has inhaled has been responsible for the new teeth.-Louis- vile Commercial.

KoREA.s cLosED DOORS
Afford No Field for American Enter


 prise.
 In pursuance Of the policy now pur> sued by the consular service of ascer. taining the state of foreign fields as opportunities for American labor, cap- ttal and eEterpl ise, Horace W. Allen consul general to Seoul, Korea. writes for the consular reports under date of January 2S that Korea now employs no foreign military officers as advisers or instructors in it's army. and is not likely to do so, ewing to an agreement made with Russia when a large staff of Russian officers were allowed to leave. By this agreement Korea an- nounced her ability and intention to dispense with further assistance Of that kind. The many requests from young men who have recently left the service of the United States asking for posi- tions in connection with the Korean army are futile. There is no demand for their services in Korea. There ii no demand for foreign advisers 10 the Korean government Although two Americans who held such positions have recently died. their places have been filled. and there is DO further de- mand for assistance of tbat kind. The newspaper report that one of these advisers had been receiving a salary of s100000 gold per annum is entirely misleading; such positions pay from s150 to s250 per month. There is no demand for employees on the railroads in Korea. Japanese control and op crate the steam railroad, and Koreans and Americans are employed on the electric railroads. I believe the posi- tons are all filled Employment with the mines would have to be secured be-. fore coming to Korea. The agent of the mines in America Is H. A Noble, representative of the Oriental Censol- dated Mining company. San Francisco. Prospeetors cannot operate in Korea, and there is no employment with tho mines other than on wages. I am told the mining company has no lack Of ap. plicants.

The teacher who influenced Strauss most was one Joseph Dreshler, tho choirmaster of St. Stevens church in vienna, who tried to get the waltzes out of the boys head and put in tneir place anthems and chorals. In this undertaking he met with indifferent success, for the worshippers in one Of the Vienna churches were startled on a Sunday morning when there poured forth from the organ. filing the gloomy building by it's enchanting notes. a waltz instead of the solemn Gregorian shant to which they were accustomed (t was Johann Strauss, Jr.. who had taken the organist'a place and substi, tuted his own favorite selection for the usual sacred ulsic, much to the dfs- may of the pioUs folk and the amuse. ment Of tke younger people of the con- greea isn.-E Steiner in the J7r2a Fgyan' Companion.

 ALONG THE AMAZON,
Indians Sunk in Almost Hopeless Bar

Indians Sunk in Almost Hopeless Ear
 barism Inhabit Great Areas.
 The trip of the United States gum boat Wilmington up the Amazon river promises to be looked upon as one Of the achievements of the closing cen tury. The commercial object of the Wilmington's cruise was to see how rubber was found in the natural state. and what manner of man it was who dWelt in the remote fastnesses of the great forests whence it came. During the gunboat's stay the officers visited many Indian villages. The Indians were found to be apparently docile, but there WAS no mtstaking their uneiYil- ized state. Clothing, save a strip or two. worn by the women, are unknown. The men are strong and muscular, and show great chest development. They are copper-eolored, of middle height with well shaped limbs and small hands and feet. Their hair is black, straight and rather coarse, the features broad eheekbones not generally prominent, eyes black, and, strange to say, some- times oblique like those of the Tartar races of Eastern Asia. The sole wea- pons in their possession are the spear and bow and arrow. The bows are of great length, and in the hands of a skilled native can be made formidable In some of the native huts the Ameri- can visitors foInd curious objects which, on closer investigation, proved to be mummiied human heads. This was significant, inasmuch as it proved that the tribe belonged to the class known as head hunters" term de- cived from their habit of preserving the heads of their enemies killed in battle. The process consists in remov- Ing the skull and treating it with cer- tain herbs until the head has been re- duced to about one-sixth of it's original size. The ha!r and features are pre- served intan>, thus giving the head a very life-like appearance. The lips are sewn together with hide thongs, upon which are recorded the details ot the battle.

LOW GiFe IN NAPLES.
Haunts Of the Thieves Where Crinas
 L. rsrnd.

Is Bred.
 The haunts of the beggars of Naples are also usually the haunts of thieves kept by some woman, who trades on the vice and misery of her felloW-crea. lures. says the Gentleman's Magazine. There the miserable Wretehes slee2 by night and assemble by day, teaching children to pick pockets and beg. Thence every morning the blind, the lame and the aged set forth on their rounds tn the city. A false monk sets out to visit certain families and shops On certain days, giving numbers 10 the lottery and receiving aims. An Cid woman departs with her pocket full of sweetmeats, with which she deeeys little children into some deserted ecr- ner and robs them of earrings or artl- cles of clothing. Others rob the aims boxes hung up in churches or in front of shrines on the roads. These kneei before the images in fictitious devotion. beating their breasts with one hand, while with the other they fish for the money with a thin stick smeared With bird-lfme, which they insert in the small oval aperture of the box, draw ing out the coins one at a time. One member of the criminal class, got up as a gentleman of fortune. used to frequent the public billiard saloons. where he soon made friendships with the aristocratie players. attracting them with his charming, ingenious smile bright blue eyes, and delightful tenor voice, and was often eFen in- vited to his friends houses and intro dueed to their families. He was no thief; his bus ness was to inform his criminal associates of the financial state of the families he visited. thus enabling them to make plots of rob- herY or gambling.

Lady Churchili's Wit.

Laay Randolph Churchill has inher- lted the wit of her father, Uncle Lar ryo Jerome, as she demonstrated upon one occasion to an eminent British politician. He was somewhat annoyed at the campaign she had made, and said 'I really don't understand. ma- dam, why or how it is that American ladies refuse to enter political life in their own country. but overwhelm as here in England. That is because you never travelled in the states. The meD there are so intelligent and patriotic that they do not require the services of our sex as an educating force. The Argousut,

4 Thief,s r1epeenass.

We do hot remember to have seen for long time a more curious case Of a thiefs e1everpess than shat which was recorded at Clerkenwell. Solomon Buffer, who, with q companion. was convicted of burglary In a jewellers shop, managed to conceal two diamond rings in spite of the most thorough search by the police, and coDtrived to pass one of them away to ais wife when he was in the cells, "putting it into her mouth by means of his tongue -=hen kissing her." The other he kept under his tongue all ths time he was ander arrest, and It would probably never have been found at all if his companion had not exposed him in court, and so induced the judge to order a careful inspection Of his mouth.

Jacob ".

In his pocket he had poeketbook contain ing five ten-dollar bills, one five and ten ones. This dropped from his pocket as he bent over to pick up the hay. Whitehead did not miss the money until the next morning. He then searches the barn, and found a few fragments of the pocketbook, to- gether with tiny bits of the bills The faithful animal had devoured the hay and valorously tackled the pocket book and contents, leaving nothing with which Whitehead could make proof of his loss at the treasury.-Chi eago Inter Ocean.

S1xsA { Play mate of the Esoeen.

There has just died at Clapham, Eng land, a somewhat interesting charac- ter in the person of Mrs. Middleton, who was we'll known throughout the district as having in her younger days been a playmate and close companion of her majesty the queen. The old lady, who at the time of her death had passed her hundredth birthday, was, during the early part of the century, maid to one of the queens ladies-iD- waiting, and used to converse freely of her recollections of her majesty's childhood, witk which she was closely associated, and of which she retained some very pleasant memories She was recently the recipient of a substantial gift from her majesty on the octasion of her birthday.

Full Of Meaning.

There are few more expressive
phrases than some which pass current
among primitive races. Henri Mayer,
q member Of the French council for
the government Of the colonies, tran
scribes a few expressions used by ma
lives in Madagascar which seem to
deserve wider vogue.
Speaking Of an egotist, they say,
"He knows two for himself and not
one for anybody else"
Gle Is like the cock that sings at
night" they say Of the unlimited talk
er, while of the everlasting borrower
they remark, "His mouth is his snuff
box"
When a man conducts his affairs
well, q native will tell you, HE swims
without noise," or If he seeks the i'm
possible, HE wants the bird on the
wing"
To render the idea Of "a little' a
Malagasy will point to the ground and
say, Like the water in the holes
made by a chickens feet" and IL he
wishes to describe a person who is
content with moderate comforts he
will put it thus, "He behaves like q
hound munching flies"

The Earnings of P1aywrfHhts.


Dramatists of established reputation
write plays only upon order. Their Or
binary prepayments are $500 upon the
delivery Of a scenario and $500 more
upon the completion Of play. IF the
finished work does not realize expecta-
tions," writes Franklin Fyles in The
Ladies' Home Journal, cor If the man.
ager for any other reason does not de-
sire to put it on the stage, the money
paid is forfeited after a certain lapse
of time, and the ownership reverts T.
the author.
"But if the manager decides to pro-
duce the piece the author receives q
percentage Of the gross receipts, usually
per cent, payable weekly, after the
amount previously advanced has been
deducted. Ordinarily it increases with
the amount of money taken in. More
than one native drama has earned
100000 for it's author. A dozen have
yielded $4,000 each, three times as
many $4,000 and a goodly number
$4,000"

The Longest Swim.

Going with the tide, in the Thames
river, Captain Matthew Webb once
swan a distance of 40 miles in nine
hours and 81 minutes. Montague A.
Holbein, an English "long distance
cyclist," swan three miles farther, al
though he made no such time record.
Taking the water at Blackwell pier
in the early morning, says the London
Chronicle, Holbein went down the riv-
er on a strong ebb, which ran until
he had progressed two miles beyond
Gravesend. Turning then with the
tide, he came back on the flood to
Blackwell. He failed to reach the pier
by mile owing to the tide failing him,
and he left the water quite fresh and
strong, willing, had his friends so ad-
vised, to turn again and complete 80
miles.
The distance he had thus covered
43 miles, which he swan in IL hours
81 minutes 42A seconds-is the great
est ever known to have been covered
by a swimmer, although it has been
assumed that Matthew Webb, when
he crossed the channel, must have
been borne almost as far by the chang
ing tides.
