before his time and since, Tallcyrand
exhibited, at least I'm early life, great
reluctance TO settling with his credit

Autun by Louis NNI., he considered u
fine new coach TO be necessary to the
proper maintenance of the dignity OF
that office. Accordingly coach was
ordered and delivered, but not paid for.
Some time after, as the newly appoint
ed bishop was about To enter his coach,
he noticed u strange man standing near
who bowed continually until the coach
was driven away. This occurred for
several days until at length Tallcy-
rund, addressing the stranger, said:
"Well. my good man, who are youV

"Ah." said Tallcyrand, you are m,

A QUESTION: OF TEETH.

George WashlngtOn's false teeth.
which were supposed to have been
made Of ivory, are giving a certain
class Of freak historians about as much

venerable patriot who wore them"
said one Of the professors OF the
Smithsonian institution 10 a reporter
recently.
"Many times year for several years
this institution has been called upon 10

Inspection Of persons who insist that
they are here.

There seems 10 be- no authentic record
Of the Father Of Ills Country possess

Folding fsed..

All purchasers Of folding beds do not
buy them sOsrly for the sake OF saving
room. According 10 manufactures,
some people with ample house room az
command buy them. for one reason. so
thar the rooms In which they are placed
can be put 20 other uses than as bed
rooms.
This manufacturer mentioned one
New York family In whose house are
eleven fine folding beds. Any room In
the house designed for aud equipped as
q sleeping rOOn could easily be- trans
fOrmrl from bedroom 10 one that had
no appearance Of sleeping apartment
whatever.
There are produced nowadays folding
beds Of one kind and another that are
