HAD BAD LUCK WITH TEETH.

Misfortunes of a Woman Who Required
 the Services of Dentist.
 A dentist enjoying an extensive practice among the fashionable people of the South Side relates this peculiar experience of one of his patrons: "She was a rather pretty young married woman" he says, "but her upper front teeth were so badly discolored and de- fective as to greatly mar her appear ance. Her husband after much per suasion induced her to have two of the worst replaced with artificial teeth. I made such a job of 1t that she was delighted. The two teeth were on a plate, and she wore them to bed the first night she had them. During the night they fell from her mouth to the floor, and when she got up in the morning she trod on them and broke the plate all to pieces. reset the teeth on another plate and she went home again with them. That night she put them in glass of water on the mantel. Her husband got up in the

Kissing oueen Victora.


 Apropos of presentations is an anec- dote Illustrating the Queens tact and kindness. An American debutante, who was both young and pretty, in making her court courtesy committed the error of kissing the Queen. Instantly realiz- ing her blunder, the poor girl nearly fainted, and hurried home in most distressed state of mind. Next day the American Minister was asked by her parents to present her apologies through the proper channels. Simultaneously there reached the legation note for our Minister from her Majesty's secre- tary, stating that, experiencing the young Americans embarrassment, Vic toria sent her an invitation to q state dinner. Needless to say that this kind ness not only silenced adverse criticism, but gave our fair countrywoman an open sesame to the London season. Anglo-American.

got her address in London and permis- sion to call on her the first week in October"
 The hours dragged themselves away, and on the first day of pheasant shoot ing, in spite of his brothers remon- strances, Roy left home for the great metropolis.
 Two days later Albert followed him to town. It was but forlorn hope, but 1t occurred to him that he might pur- guade the girl-for consideration of course-to be merciful and release his brother from any foolish promises he may have made.
 As Albert did not know much about London, he determined to seek the as- sistance and advice of his uncle, Lord Dorchester, but on his arrival at Tor chester House he found that a garden party was in full swing.
 Lady Dorchester greeted him with a few kind words of welcome and he passed on to his uncle.
 'Hellor exclaimed the latter, what has brought you up to town"
 ''Why, to tell you the truth, Roy has been inveigled by some typewriting girl, and I've come up to see if can get him out of the mess, and as I thought you would be able to help me, I-"

 Then he got the dog Gyp, and trained him to get up when the alarm went off. It was slow work, but after fourteen months of patient endeavor the dog learned his part Since then the family has not overslept.
 At the first sound of the alarm Gyp gets up, rubs his eyes for second, and then makes a dash for his masters sleeping room. One bound carries him to the bed, and he doesn't let go until his master gets up. For six years Gyp has never once forgotten his lines or made a miscue.

ton are utterly uselessyet they have inflicted suffering beyond calculation. The dreadful fear of ghosts that never existed has probably caused more act ual suffering especially among chil- dren-than any dozen illnesses. The great.mission of civilization and of re- igion Is to do away with the reign or fear in the heart and the imagination It is comforting to know that each cen tury sees some step taken toward Iree- ing men from fear and. its accompany ing torture. We believe that the keen est suffering through fear comes from dread of being found out" What man or child has not during life suffered keenIy the dread of exposure! W no has moi in dreams suffered from rear so keenIy as to make the dream seem real for hours after waking ana leave genuine sensation of agony ln the mind? The mother suffers the agony of fear when her child is u. Medical science is constantly and successfully struggling to eliminate that source of suffering through fear. The working man with wife and children depending on him lives in constant dread of the notice in his pay envelope; "Hereaf- ter your services will not be required" This fear causes him intense and use less suffering, which weakens his mind and prevents his best effart. That form of fear is gradually fading out, thanks to improved industrial conditions, and especially to the growing power of trades unionism, which compels the employer to share the risk and the worry. The animals. living in con stant struggle for life, know fear, but only when danger is actually present. There is no reason to think that they suffer the agony of anticipation, which so often tortures men. They are mer- cifully spared. There is much encour- agement for all in the gradual extino- ton of fear as factor in our daily lives. Every one who helps along this extinction helps to free mankind from slavery most painful. Every person can do something toward minimizing the suffering caused by fear. Free chil- dren from their dread of darkness and of ghosts-neyeF inflict fear upon them by forcing them to do that which frightens them. Cheer up the despond- ent man or woman whose fear for the future makes the present dark. Banish fear from your own life, and decide with the old Greek that by living just Iy you will put yourself beyond the power of any man. and. therefore, be- yond the reach of fear.

ANGLERS SONG.

 Away, away, to the brookside green, In the mornings earliest flush, To the purling brook where the alders
 lean
 Gracefully o'er the water's rush, And the golden sun, with it's many-hued
 sheen,
 Makes the tinted wavelets blush. The lancewood rod, with its supple tip, Is sound and strong as pine; But, arching, it bends with a dainty dip When the brook trout strains the line, And the spray flies high when the fish's
 lip
 Is pierced by the hooks sharp tine. The tackles strong and the waters right, So there's chance for luck to-day; With the wind in the south and the sun
 not bright,
 Our creels will surely weigh, Ere with weary feet, by the gloaming's
 light,
 Homeward, we wend our way. And where the messy bank is sprayed By the waters roaring fall, Meath the slender birches' hickering
 shade,
 We'll rest and thankful, recall That, of sports the Fates for men haVe
 made,
 Angling's the best of all. National Sportsman.

Beautiful Wild Plants.

The committee on native plant exhib- it's of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society have been considering the best means of preventing unnecessary de- struction of native plants, and in their instructions to exhibitors have de- clared that more than three specimens of a single species of plant in bottle will disqualify the bottle for exhibition to the amount of the excess. This will effectually prevent any exhibitor from bringing large punches of cypripedi- ums. gentians, and other rare and beautiful flowers for the purpose of making a big display. Nature books in part, bicycles, lack of proper instruc- ton and appreciation. selishness and thoughtfulness-an conduce to the de struction of plants and animals, not to mention monuments and objects of the greatest yeneration.

An interesting temperance measure was presented in the New York Legis- lature. recently adjourned. but failed of passage. It's purpose was to oblige all saloonkeepers to sell tea. coffee, milk and chocolate as well as intoxl- cants. The theory of those who draft ed tt was that many men who seek the saloons for warmth and light and so- ciabiIity, and drink from a sense of obligation. would be content with tenn perance beverages. and perhaps prefer them. if they were to be had. The op- ponents of the bill argued that the saloonkeepers might easily defeat its purpose if they wished by serving tea and coffee of so poor quality that no one would drink 1t; but plan similar to that provided for in the bill has been tried in certain saloons in England. and with considerable success.

It is an encouraging sign for the health of the modern American that the popularity of outdoor life in this coun- try seems to be increasing The num- Der and variety of sports and pastimes which allure to open-air exertion has grown greatly. Not very many years have elapsed since the time when ten his and football were unusual and golf and the bicycle were almost unknown. Yet the influence of these and other sports has been so strong in recent years that open-air life has come to be enjoyed for its own sake and apart from the amusements associated with 1t. It is a great mistake to suppose that the pleasures of outdoor life are espe- cial privileges of youth or of any given type of summer amuSement-seeker. The immense advantages they confer should be shared by all alike. In the present state of our social development they are among the richest of the bless ings within the reach of the people.
