TRIO OF OLD FOLKS.

Philadelphia has the most celebrated

it by thirty years. If the ages of these

be added together they would reach the
astonishing total of $50 years and
make span Of life which would er-

Tho Saw In the Mouth of the Snail
Cuts Clean.

Tho Saw In the Mouth Of the Snail
Cuts Clean.
1t is a fortunate thing for man and
the rest Of the animal kingdom that
no larger wild animal has a mouth
built on the plan Of the insignificant
looking snail's mouth, for such an ami
NAL could devour anything that lives;
Any one who has noticed a snail feed
ing must have wondered how such a
soft, fabby, Shiny animal can make
such sharp and clean-cut incision in
Leaf, leaving an edge as smooth and
straight as il it had been cut with q
knife. That is due to the peculiar and
formidable mouth he has. The snail
eats with his tongue and the roof of
his mouth. The tongue is a ribbon
which the snail keeps in coil in his
mouth. The tongue is in reality a
bandsaw, with the teeth on the surface
instead of on the edge. The teeth are
SO small that as many as 10000 Of
them have been found on one snails
tongue. They are exceedingly sharp.
and only few of them are used at a
time. Not exactly only few Of them,
but a few Of them comparatively, for
the snail will probably have 1000 or
5000 Of them in use at once. He does
this by means of his coiled tongue.
He can uncoil as much of this as he
chooses, and the uncoiled part he
brings into service. The roof OF his
mouth Is as hard as bone. He grasps
the leaf between his tongue and that
hard substance, and, rasping away
with his tongue, saws through the
toughest leaf with ease, always leaving
the edge smooth and straight. BY use
the teeth wear off or become dulled.
When the snail finds that his saw is
becoming dull he uncoils another Sec
ton and works that out until he has
come to the end of the coil. Then he
coils the tongue up again and is ready
to start in new, for while he has been
using the latter portions of the rib
bon the teeth have grown in again in
the idle portions-the saw has been
filed and reset, so to speak-and while
he is using them the teeth in the back
coil are renewed.

few stammerlng words, GLADLY had no
longer q heart to boast OF, though she
herself was innocently ignorant Of the
tact. For this girl there would never
be any other man than the chivalrous
English stranger whom fate had in

could ever take the place of that which

wherewith to hide It.
The astute dame of fashion who, for
a certain handsome sum allowed by
the trustees Of the wealthy heiress,
took GLADLY under her wing, contented
herself with smiling blandly at the
pretty love scene going on under her
eyes.

1t Was Drawn Twenty Years Ago, but
Was Good for the Money.
In the year 1879 C. W. Merchant of
this city was engaged in buying cat
tie all over this part of Texas, says
the Galveston News. In those days
Fort Worth was the headquarters for
banking business, and Mr.. Merchant,
in common with all cowmen, had his
money on deposit in one of the banks
there. While in Haskell county that
year he purchased five head of beef
cattle from Mr.. Mobley and gave his
check for 500. On account of the
distance from Fort Worth and the In
convenient facilities for treasacting
such matters, Mr.. Mobley did not pre-
sent the check for payment until six
months after its date. When pre-
sented the cashier informed the gen
tleman that Mr.. Merchant had long
since closed his account with the bank.
Nothing further was ever done to col
lect the check. until recently both gen.
tlemen met in the town Of Haskell,
just twenty-one years later, and began
talking Of -old-times.' Mr.. Mobley
suggested to Mr.. Merchant that he held
an unpaid check signed by him and
dated in 1879, and wanted to know If
1t was still worth 100 cents on the
dollar. He was informed that it was,
and on inquiry as to how It came into
his possession explanations followed
and Mr.. Mobley got his 500. In speak
ing of the incident to the News corre-
spondent, Mr.. Merchant said that in
1879 he purchased something like $780,
600 worth of cattle, and most Of them
In small herds, and that, with "sad-
die horn" for memorandum book, it
was very easy to lose run of 500
check.

King Khamn.

Khama is king of the Bamangwato
tribe. His 100000 subjects are called
Bechanas, because they live in Bechu-
analand; but they resent this name
themselves, and do not acknowledge
it as tribal term. Khama is an old
man now-lean, hungry and as ugly
as can be; but he is very good old
man, and in his way has probably
done more real good to the cause Of
the natives in his part of the country
than any other two dozen native
chiefs. He will not allow any intoXi-
eating liquor whatever to be sold any,
where within his dominions. He and
all his people are strict teetotallers,
and there is heavy fine for making
tschuala, or Kaffir beer, compare
lively harmless decoction of fermented
mealie meal.
