Humble Patriotism.

There has recently died of disease in
South Africa in my old battery a gunner
unnoted and unknown In December.
1899, this man was by some mistake
called up with the reservists, in spite of
the fact that his time was up-that is.
that he had by that date completed his
seven years with the colors and FIVE with
the reserve. There were one or two 9TH
er instances Of time expired men being
called up; with one accord they represent
ed their case to their commanding officer,
and were duly sent home again. But this
man. although the Queen had no claim
whatever on his services, left his civil
employment. and with his eyes open, with
full knowledge Of the hardships of a SOL
dier's life, among strangers and in
strange battery, he went out to fight. No
abnormal rate Of pay, no delirious ban
quetings were his, and even if he were to
escape the dangers of war there was no
certainty of any early return. There was
nothing worthy Of special note about the
man. He was not an exceptionally smart
or keen soldier. and he had no exception
al influence with his fellowmen; he was.
too. quite unconscious that there was any
thing remarkable in his conduct But to
my mind there is only one word that can
describe him, and this word,
I know. has been used and abused of late
ad nauseam in the wcrld of politics. He
was patriot.-Letter in the Spectator.

SERMON ON TEETH.
Preached by a Man Supposed to now
Lot About Them.


"Peoplc are showing disposition now
to neglect their teeth: said a wel-known
New Orleans dentist. and it is really
surprising, too. when we consider the Use
fulness Of these members and the vast
bearing they have on health. and the
splendid ornaments they are to physical
beauty. Bad teeth generally mean poor
digestion; sometimes no digestion at all.
bad teeth. and the man who has a poor
set of teeth is forced to swallow his food
in great solid chunks. and thus his digeS-
tive capacity is overtaXed.
I'm spite OF the progress made in den-
tistry. and in spite of the vast service the
profession has been to the human family
in the matter of preserving the teeth and
in rebuilding those decayed frequently be-
yond usefulness. the fact remains that
the human tooth is on the downward
trend. There is, Of course. reason fer
this. Varying temperature is the chief
thing operating against the soundness Of
the tooth. Too much heat and too much
ture of the tooth shonld remain as nearly
normal as possible. We will put the case
alphabetically. SuI,p,<a the normal tenn
pcrature of the tooth is 90. and this is !,
reasonable superstition. Hot coffee, hot
soups and hot food. and hot drinks gen
'rallv, Will represent an average temper;l-
ture much above this. Now. the enamel
Of the tooth. the thin. glossy covering on
the outside which gives the healthy tooth
the polish of ivory. is very delicate. \
temperature at variance with the normal
temperature Of the tooth is very injurious
to this enamel. Ifut we will take the
other extreme. where the temperature is
much below the normal temperature of
the tooth. Take ices and iced drinks,
and we will say that they represent a
temperature of % degrees. This. of
course. is an approximation. But in any
event we have temperature at variance
with the normal temperature of the tooth
Necessarily this will have bad effect on
the tooth. The effect of it is. in the first
place. to crack the enamel of the tooth,
and to ultimately impair the nerves run
ming up into this part Of the head.
1--WE find a simple and familiar illus
tration of this is a sensation common to
great many persons Many persons IN
eating ices have experienced a painful
sensation. apparently in the TEMPLES.
This pa in really begins in the tooth
nerves. but is felt more keenIy in tho

ness Of these nerves. These. of course.
are merely samples Of things that are
working against the soundness of the
human tooth. New Orleans Times

Georeia's Giant Sycamore.

Dougherty county now lays claim to
the champion big tree Of Georgia. 1t
was discovered several weeks ago by en-
ployes of the Red Cypress Lumber COM
pany who were engaged in cutting TIM
Der. 1t rears its head from amid a
thick swamp where hardwood trees
abound, and to this is due the fact that
it was not discovered sooner.
This giant Of the swamp is a syca-
more. It is on little knoll. and except
in seasons when a great deal of rain has
fallen its trunk is not reached by water
A foot from the ground it's trunk is for
ty-four feet in circumference. For twen-
ty feet above the ground the body of the
great tree is round and symmetrical, but
at that point it branches into four sec
tons, any one Of which would make a
giant tree if standing alone. The four
arms Of the big sycamore do not spread
out as would seem natural, but reach
skyward, almost perpendicularly. The
tree is pronounced by all who have seen
it curiosity, and places ''in the shade"
all the known trees in Georgia.-Atlanta

Society Life Made Easy.

Formals calls between women have al
ways been considered more or less Of
farce, even among the most rigid adher-
ents to the practice. The task of making
anywhere from a score to hundred Of
these very brief visits per week. even
when the ''call' consists only of leaving
card at the door, is not to be lightly
considered. London society people are
patronizing "social bureau which ad-
yertises in certain society papers that it
is prepared to send out visiting cards
the. work undertaken by experienced
ladies, with accuracy and dispatch-by
coupe if desired" The extent to which
this enterprise may be developed affords
opportunity for much cheerful conjecture.
If Experienced ladies' can be engaged
to send out visiting cards, why may they
not also be employed to attend dinners
and balls, and other social functions; to
ride in the park of spring afternoons;
to shop, and even to attend church?
There seems really no limit to the scope
of the work.-Harper's Weekly.
