Expenses of Dreyfus Defence.

One feature of the Dreyfus case has
not been fully touched upon--the ex-
eeedingly large sum of money which
the Dreyfus family has been forced
to spend. The trial OF 1894 cost a
very fair sum, limited, chiefly, how
ever. to lawyers fees. The large out
lay was caused by the efforts of the
family to discover the real culprit af-
ter the departure of the unfortunate
prisoner for Devils Island. NJ.
Matthews Dreyfus employed two sets
of detectives. The French detectives
were watched by a set of English de-
tectives. and the family, of course.
footed the bills In both instances. This
work went on for two or three years.
until the discovery of the famous petit
bleu designating Esterhazy as the
culprit. Then came the expenses
leading to the revision of the case, the
lawyers and the memoirs and other
documents which had to be published.
But the deserved compensation given
NJ. Mornard, M. Demange and M. La
bori was not the only outlay which
the Dreyfus family had to support at
Rennes. AS they lost their suit, they
had to pay all the witnesses round
sum of nearly $4,000. Thus Dreyfus
was placed in the curious position OF
paying the carfare and the board bills
of his deadliest enemies. 1t is esti-
mated that up to the present more
than 100000 has been employed in
this brave fight.-Paris Letter in the

The heaviest snow OF the season did

We refer TO him as BOBBY because he
is such in every sense OF the word. He

Costly Wardrobes.

had $4,000 dresses at the time Of her
death. She was generally styled the
Humane Elizabeth, because of a vow
she made never to inf1ict capital pun

however, extravagantly luxurious, as
shown by her having at her death 49,
900 unused dresses in her wardrobe.

year of her reign and the fifty-third
year of her age. Queen Elizabeth.

The Sama Result.

Advertising in the CAPITAL always
brings the same result. On Saturday a
lady advertised gold watch and chain
in the CAPITAL. which was lost on Fri.
day night on the way to Murray Hill.
The watch was found Sunday by one OF
the street cleaning force, and returned.
through the advertisement. TO the owner.
1t was covered with snow. and in shovel
ing the snow from the sidewalk on Mar
ket street. the watch was lifted in a
shovelfull. A gentleman lost dog on
Monday and brought an advertisement,
to this offise for its recovery. Scarcely
was the ad. in type. when little boy
and girl from the Naval Academy came
into the office and the boy said "Mister.
has any body advertised for lost dog?
When told yes, the boy showed the dog
and il proved to be the one advertised.
but before the paper was on the press.
the ad. was scented in the air and the
dog returned to its owner. Moral--Ad-
vertising in the CAPITAL always brings

DOUBLING a STAGE Mob.

1t is generally admitted that one of
the most realistic stage effects of
modern days is that of the music hall
scene in Hearts Are Trumps." The
great (apparent) depth of the audi
torium shown on the stage at Drury
Lane is the result of a very ingenious
device. The sea of faces representing
the music hall audience is only half
human-that is to say, each of the
supers is doubled" by means of a
mask on the back of his head. These
masks are visible to the audience only
when reflected on a mirror at the
back of the stage. Here We have a
decided improvement on the old-fash-
toned method of multiplying crowd
or an army by means of distressingly
unreal figures painted on a backcloth.

Paper teeth are the latest thing In
dentistry. For years some substance

ployed for making teeth. and a for
tune awaited the man who was lucky
enough to hit upon the right material
Although paper has some disadyan-
tages. they are small compared to its
many qualifications, and paper. teeth
are likely to be used exclusiyely-at
least until more perfect material is
found.
Up to this time china has been used
almost exclusively. but IL presents SO
many disadvantages that dentists
have always been on the lookout for
some other substance which could re-
place it. Not only does china not re-
sist the action of saliva and turn
black. but china affects the nerves of
the jaws.
People who wear false teeth often
complain of suborbital neuralgia. and
this is put down by many dentists as
being caused by the heat or cold act
