Bold and Masculine Grasp of Things
Thereupon the Hen ruff1ed up all her
Feathers and staggered forth into the
Great Undiscovered and began to put
her theories into execution.
Her first move toward Cinching the
| Glorious Crown Of Success was to get
her Top Knot cut off. Then she dis
carded all the foolish feminine frills
and frivols and adopted a Rational
Costume that left you Guessing wheth-
er she was Male or Female or merely
! a Conundrum.
In the despised Home Days she had
had a gentle little voice that was as
cheering as the Kettle singing on the
hearth, but she forgot it and learned
to Cable in a Fog-Horn Falsetto that
she mistook for an impressive Mascu-
line Crow
She had also possessed winning
ways that caused every Masculine
Creature 10 want to provide for her,
but she passed up her privileges in
favor of her Rights, when she found
out to her surprise that she would have
" L gut 1OI ali SIlC IOl.
In Business she elbowed and Pushed
her way and adopted a bold and ag
gressive demeanOr, and a I-Know as
much-as-any-man attitude, and when
she went into the street to Trade they
picked her Fortune down to the Pin
Feathers before she knew what had
happened to her.
Socially she went in for the Jolly
GoOd-Fellow Racket, and while the
BOOSTERS attended to her Feeds and
nrinkfests, they kept their own Pullets
safely locked up on the Home Roosts,
to see a Pretty Female Smoking Cigar
cites, they preferred to witness some
other fellows Sister doing the Bohe-
milan Stunts.
At last it began to dawn On the Hen
that she had not won out as Handily
as she had anticipated, and she went
to the Owl and thus addressed him:
II perceive" she said, that instead
of razzle-dazzling the world with my
impersonatiOn of Feminine Success l
have fallen down in it, and nothing
but my sex prevents the Audience from
bestowing Kisses and Passe Vegeta-
bles upon me. I perceived that Mas
culine Creatures held all the Star Roles
and Big Pay Envelopes in Life and
determined to follow their Example
and copy their methods.
81 learned to smoke Cigarettes, al
though | abhor Tobacco, and it makes
me i'll. l learned to laugh at stories
that made the Goose Flesh rise all
over me and l discarded all my glad
rags for these Salvation Army Confec-
lions, yet it has all been N. c., and
do not understand it."
FThe trouble with most females, re-
piled the Owl with great sagacity, els
that when they start out to be Mas
culine they forget to be GentlemanIy.
you were an admirable Hen, but
you are very bad Imitation Rooster
and the reason the world will not
stand for your Grow is because it is
not the Real Thing.
TT takes all the Gray Matter any
one Creature is liabaIe to Possess to
understand her own sex, and l advise
you to return to the Graft you know
instead of trying to break into Game
with which you are not familiar"
Thereupon the Hen returned to the
with great acclaim, and she became
celebrated as a Feminine Creature
withe a truly Masculine Intellect"
Moral: This Fable teaches that the
Woman who knows her Business sticks
to Feminine Tactics and Weeps in
stead of Works.-Dorothy Dix in the
New York Journal.

One Cause of Poor Teeth.
At the annual meeting of the British
Dental association, says the London
Chronicle, Thomas G. Reed read a pa
per on Some Chemical Changes in the
Mouth During the Mastication Of
Bread Composed Of Roller Flour" and
contended that the increase in dental
cases during the last forty years was
due to roller milling having largely re
placed stone milling, and argued that
modern bread itself directly caused
! the destruction of tooth tissue, as
there was a greater amount Of acid
I generated in the mouth during the
mastication of bread composed of roll
er flour than when composed of stone
milled. It appeared that wherever the
roller mill was in operation carlous
teeth were found instead of the sound
ones of the days Of the stone mill
1t was found on testing for acid that
the roller flour bread bolus was much
more ACID than the other. Hugh Can
! dy, chemist to the London hospital,
having tested both kinds of bread, re-
ported that he found IN the case OF the
bread composed OF stone-mllled flour
that the acidity remained stationary,
whereas in the case OF bread com
posed OF roller flour mastIcatlon ap-
peared to promote an increase OF IS
per cent. In the acdlty. Dentistry,
