LAD BAD LUCK WITH TEETH,
Repeated Misfortune of a Woman
Who Required the Services
of u Dentist.

dentist enjoying an extensive prac-
tice among the fashionable people of
the South side relates this peculiar ex-
perience of one of his patrons, says the
Chicago Chronicle: ''She was rather
pretty young married woman" he
says, "but her upper front teeth were
so badly discolored and defective as to
greatly mar her appearance. Her hus-
band, after much persuasion, induced
her to have two of the worst replaced
with artificial teeth. l made neat job
of it, and she was delighted. The two
teeth were on 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. i re-
set 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 night to get drink of water, and
finding something in the tumbler
threw the contents out of the win
dow, thus disposing of the second set
in three days. Then made her a third
set. These she put on the mantel when
she retired and forgot to replace them
in the morning. The maid, dustin the
room, swept these off into the CRATE
underneath the mantel, where they
burned up. The family moved out of
town few days afterward, so whether
she got fourth set | do not know"

RIVAL TO SiLKEN FANS.
Device That Looks Like an Egg
Beaten, But 1t Makes a Stun
ming DrauSht.

A man without sense of romance
has invented and patented mechani-
cal hand fan and sets it up as a rival
of the toy gauze and lace which has
been & feminine weapon through I'M
told ages. His fan buzzes and is not
beautiful, but it provides a steady
draft of cool air, says the New York
Sun.
In appearance it is cross between
an egg-beater and glove-stretcher.
1t is made of wood and brass, and
he asserts that in expert hands it can
be made to reach a speed of 5000 rev.
olutions a minute and will throw a
current of air as far as an electric
fan of the same size.
1t works by COMPRISING in the hand
two wooden handles of a glove stretch
erlike arrangement. A ratchet and
two small cog wheels at the end OF
the arms transmit this force to the
blades of the fan, which are miniature
electric fan blades. Both of these are
detachable, SO that the fan may be
easily carried when not in use
The inventor says that he has dis.
posed of 1000 of his hand fans in a
few months. He isn't sanguine of its
general adoption by the gentler sex.
but he thinks that lots of men would
use it in hot weather. Sentiment
oughtn't to play any part in comfort
seeking, he says, but he has to admit
that it generally does.

TRAMPS WITH BANK ACCOUNTS
Wealthy EngIishmen Who Have q
Queer Way of Finding Out
Worthy Persons in Need.

In Persia there are many legends
of certain ruler who used to wan
der about the city at night dressed
as a beggar to find out the real con-
ditions under which his people lived.
At the present day many wealthy
philanthropists adopt the same meth
cd. They disguise themselves in rag
ged clothes and look for deserving
cases in all the worst slums of our
great cities, says an exchange.
A wealthy Manchester (Eng.) man
who has made over 100000 in the
cotton trade has given away 100000
in the last 20 years, though his name
has never appeared in any subscrip-
ton list. Every few months he dis
appears from home, dressed in ragged
clothes, so that he may be taken for
some broken-down tramp, and in this
disguise he Visits the poorer parts
of the city. When he finds a really
deserving case, he sends a messenger
with food or money, but he never al
lows his name to be disclosed.
Another wealthy man who adopted
the same tactics in London has spent
over 100000 in the last few years in
relieving real cases of distress. He
dresses III the rough clothes of a
Thames bargee, and in that rigout
has visited every part of the East
End. Once he fell in with gang of
men who wanted him to join them in
little scheme for robbing a riverside
warehouse, which they assured him
would yield profit of 80 quid a
man." Another time he was arrested
as a suspicious character and had to
explain matters to magistrate.

FIRST PAPER MACHINE.
Eourdrfnfer Machine First Intro.
duced in Saugerties, New
York, in 1927.

Saugerties is proud because the first
paper machine used in America was
made in that village. This is what the
Paper Trade Journal says about it:
THE nineteenth century will always
De remarkable in the history of paper
making in the United States. Early
in the century-in 1S27-the Fourdrin
Ter machine was introduced to this
country at Saugerties, n. Y, while the
cylinder machine, as to the invention
of which there are conflicting claims
on behalf of British and American in
ventors, came. into use in this country
about ten years earlier. The Fourdrin-
ier machine has been improved in al
most all its details by United States
builders, until now the high speed ma
chine made in this country holds the
record the world over. 1t has demon
strated its ability to make $50 feet of
paper minute, and keep it up, and
there are builders to-day who expect
that in the not far distant future that
speed will be very largely increased"

THF following extract from the address
of President j, J. Mccarthy before "a
recent meeting of the Iowa state Bar
association at Council Bluffs applies as
well In Wise onsin as in Iowa,
"Is it true" Mr.. Mccarthy asked
..that perjury is committed in Judicial
proceedings? 1t will not do to credit
all false statements to lack OF memory,
visionary exaggeration and such like.
Where is there lawyer who has
not seen the guilty criminal pass out OF
the court room acquitted and set free
because of perjured testimony! these
are the things that beget dlstrust and
disrespect for the courts and Tor our
boosted forms of law. these are the
things that produce anarchy and lynch
ing.
lone Judge of long experience writes
me that, in his opinion, about one nall
of all the evidence received on oehalt
of the defense in criminal cases Is
false. Another Judge believes 20 per
cent of the evidence offered in divorce
cases approaches deliberate perjury.
Another writes that the crime is rapid
ly increasing.
I'm short, with reference to the prev
alance of perjury, the time has come
when. in the words of another. ]ustlce
must wear a VEIL not that she may De
impartial, but that she may hide ner
face for shame.
L.
Mr.. Mccarthy then said that oaths
were too common. Witnesses shouid De
told the extreme punishments meted
out TO perjurers. Then they should
be swiftly and severely punished, and
if it was so punished strong pubic
sentiment would rapidly grow up
against it.

NEW WAY TO CLOSE WOUNDS.
An Invention That Causes No Pain
and Performs the Work
ExpcditiOusly.

A novel and most useful instrument
has been invented by DIR. Paul Michel
q well-known French physician. With
1t wounds on a body can be stitched
effectively, quickly and without caus-
ing any pain to the patient. Hereto
fore wounds were stitched by hand
and this operation was not only some
what dangerous and slow, but also de-
cidedly painful, says the ST. Louis Re
public.
The new instrument consists of a
forceps or pinchers, and of case or
sheath, which contains number OF
nickel hooks or bands somew SINH.
lar to those which are frequently seen
on the corners of cardboard boxes. A
slight pressure suffices to free these
hooks from the sheath, and within one
minute between 20 and 80 of them
can be placed on a wound in such a
manner that they will effectively close
1t. The reason why they cause no
pain is because their tiny rounded
points only penetrate the epidermis
and not the lower layer of skin. Other
advantages which they possess are
that they can be easily disinfected
that it is no trouble to remove them
from the skin after the wound is
healed, and that they leave hardly any
trace of a scar.
DIR. Michel has received congratula.
tions from the most distinguish
European physicians, and his instru.
ment is being rapidly introduced into
leading hospitals.

An Eis.seen-Hour Recitation.

An Eighfeen-Hour Recitation
Prof Arlini, of Naples, has just per-
formed IL remarkable feat. Some time
ago he offered to make bet that he
could reciJe the whole of Dante's
Divine Comedy" by heart. His abil-
ity to do this was doubted, and his
wager was taken up. A select au-
dience was invited to hear the pro-
lessor, who acclaimed from eight
o'clock in the evening until two
o'clock the next afternoon. The re-
otter stopped occasionally, but it was
not because he had forgotten the
poem; it was simply to moisten his
tongue with sugared water. He won
his wager, for the audience had to
confess that he got through the IS 200
verses, more or less, of which the
poem is composed, without the least
difficulty.
