takes about 14S to weigh a pound the

receiverships of railroads initiated in
1900 affected 1,165 miles of road Sal, 142,-
600 of bonds and S37, 092 900 of stock. The
chief sufferer was the Chicago and
Grand Trunk, with 327 miles and $18,-
100000 Of Securities" Most of the I'M
fortunate roads were in the North and
West. The mileage of roads put in the
hands of receivers in 1899 was 1919
miles, with $52,285,00O Of Securities"
The foreclosures of 1900 affected 3,477

the securities affected were $3.50, 374, 900,

GUS year the situation was not half so

The flirting with girls attending
school at Suffolk, Virginia, has
led to the enactment of state law
and the passage of city ordin-
ance making it a misdemeanor to
cultivate the acquaintance of q
young lady in this manner, At
Suffolk is located ladies semin-
ary known as Suffolk College, and
under these laws seven young men
of the best families in this city
were arrested for flirting with
young ladies in this school, but
were released upon a promise not
to do it again. The ordinanae
prescribes fines of from 81 to SQ

Smart Set Has Trouble.

The town of Harrison, O., has a woe
peculiarly it's own. It's a rupture in
the smart set The Cuvier club, whose
membership is composed Of swell
young men, entertained company Of
men and women guests and served
Welsh rarebit and beer. The fact that
the amber fluid was so Hospitality dis
pensed shocked the good church. going
people of the village. The social rum
pus that ensued knocked the clubs
contemplated regular ladies' evening
onto the table of further considera-
ton" This aroused the anger of the
ladies, who had looked approvingly
upon the rarebit and beer. The most
pronounced in her views was Mrs.
Frank Bowles, wife of the banker. who
is the leader of the social swim. She
invited the members who had held out
for Welsh rarebit and beer to her resi-
dence. 1t was fashionable function.
But it didn't vanquish the promoters
Of crackers and lemonade as refresh

Egyptian Delight at the Prospect OF In

In those huge structures and pyra-
mida1 immensities, of the builders
whereof so little is known, they
seemed not so much to raise temples
and sepulchres to death, as to con-
tenn and disdain it, astonishing
heaven with their audacities, and look
ing forward with delight to their in
terment in those eternal piles. OF their
living habitations they made little ac-
count, conceiving them but as inns,
while they adorned the sepulchres Of
the dead, and planting thereon last
ing bases, defled the crumbling
touches of time and misty vaporous-
ness OF oblivion. Yet all were but
Babel vanities. Time sadly overcom-
eth all things, and is now dominant
and stitch upon sphinx, and look
eth unto Memphis and old Thebes,
while his sister, Oblivion, reclineth
semi-somnous on pyramid, glorious

meath her cloud. The traveller as he
paceth amazedly through those des-
erts asketh of her, Who buildeth
them? and she mumbleth something,
but. what it is he heareth not Egypt

ANCIENT DENTISTRY.
Teeth stopped with Gold Found In
Mummies' Mouths.s ,

Mummies' Moutha-l ~
i. While little certain is known re-
speeding the origin of dentistry 1t I'M
doubtedly was practiced among the
Egyptians at a very early age. Hero
dotus $500 B. c., in writing OF his
travels through Egypt mentions the
division of medicine in that kingdom
into special branches. and the exis-
tence Of physicians, each of whom
'applies himself to one disease only
and not more. Some are for the eyes,
others for the head, Others for the
teeth, and others for internal disor-
ders." 1t is thought that the Egyp-
tians and Etruscans were farther ad-
vanced in the art Of dentistry than
any other people of their times, for
teeth stopped with gold have been
found in the mouths Of mummies. Bel
zoni and others have found artificial
teeth made of sycamore wood in an
cient coffins. The mode Of fastening
was by bands. of cord or gold wire,
tying the false tooth to its natural
neighbors, other specimens have been
found insaaa1tEAsaan Aeanb. One Was

attached. '@sfRhe plate was 'ingeniously
made, md It was surprising to-4nu
gold used for slch patrpeae hEaso. an
cient people. Aacient Greece H. re-
nowned as the nursery of modern
medicine. :Hppocrates made a. special
study of the teeth. Aristotle 600 B.
CO. also wrote extensively about them
Several Greek dental operators are
mentioned Is early as 300 B. c. Eras-
tstratus Is said to have deposited In
the temple of Delphian Apollo, a lead
en- tooth-drawer, to prove that only
those teeth ought to be removed which
are loose or relaxed, and for which q
leaden instrument will SUFFICE" Galen
taught (150 B. c. that the teetn were
true bones, and declared that the can
ines should be called eye-teeth because
they received branches from that nerve
which also supplies the eye. Albacas1s,
an Arabian physician (about 100 A.
d., gave rules for the replacement OF
lost teeth by substitutes both natural
and Of animal bone or ivory.

A correspondent writes: ''What
is the difference between national
and legal holiday? Please give
the names of all national and legal
holidays" In a strict sense, there
is no national holiday in the Uni
ted Statesmen even the Fourth
of July. Congress, has, however,
at various times, appointed special
holidays. A few years ago it
passed an act making Labor Day
a public holiday in the District Of
Columbia, and it has recognized
the existence of certain holi lays
for commercial purposes. The
presidential proclamation designa-
ting a day of Thanksgiving is
merely a recommendation, and
the day is merely a recommends
ton, and the day is legal holi-
day only in states which make it
such by their own laws. The legal
holidays are all such by virtue OF
state laws. The Fourth OF July is
a legal holiday in all the states
and the District of Columbia. SO
is Christmas, New Years Day, is
a legal holiday in the District Of
Columbia and all the states except
Massachusetts, Mississippi and
New Hampshire. Washington's
Birthday is legal holiday in the
District of Columbia and all the
states except Mississippi. In that
it Is observed only by exercises in
the schools. General election days
are legal holidays in most but not
all, of the states. There are num-
erous local anniversaries which
are legal holidays in particular
states, and Labor Day and Arbor
Day are now quite widely obser-

Tying through the air, and now
and then notice one lying on
the sidewalk, Sometimes a high
wind brings down from the roof of
a house one of the long thin
boards that bind the last course Of
shingles at the r1dgepole. The
roofs from which these parts are
ripped by the wind are not al
ways old and rotten, though some
times the shingles and boards are
found to be somewhat warped.
Such things did not happen in the
good old times. The wire nails
a in use are the cause of this
trouble. The smooth surface takes
but5sa slight hold on the wood into
which they are driven, and they
come out as easily as if imbedded
in cheese instead of in wood. The
old-fashioned wrought and cut
nails, square instead of round, and
rough instead of smooth, took a
firm hold on the wood and were
more serviceable. In the old
times single was tightly held
and the wind could not pull it
from its place until it had be-
come rotten with age: It takes
more care to keep a shingled roof
in good condition now than form
erly. The new-fangled nails are
cheaper, but the old-fashioned
nails were more reliable. Not
every modern innovation is an i'm
provement in all respects.
