CANTON FIRE.
Novelty Iron Works Destroyed at
100000 Loss.

Canton, March 10.-Fire destroyed
the Novelty Iron works at o'clock this
morning. The foundry, wareroom and
pattern house are a total loss with
their contents, a small Office builuing
and part of the machine shop alone
being saved. The loss on buildings
and machinery will be $4,000; on fin
ished products and patterns, $4,000
more. The plant was crowded with
orders, and the most serious loss is
the destruction of patterns on heating
apparatus and other specialties. The
plant employs 20 men. Lack of wa
ter prevented the firemen from doing
effective work. William and Henry
Sherlock of Canton are the principal
stockholders. Insurance is estimated
at $4,000. The plant will be rebuilt.

RAILWAY RUM BlES.

Ireland claims the honor of the first
electric railway in the United King
dom.
1t Is said that the cheapest railway
fares in the world are to be found in
Hungary.
Denmark has government railroad
system Of 1,167 miles and 525 miles of
private railroads.
The Servian, Roumanian and Bulga-
rian railroads are owned exclusively
by the respective governments.
Travellers on Prussian railways whose
baggage, through no fault Of their
own, fails to arrive with them can now
have 1t sent on request free to their
houses.
The difficulty of railway construction
in some parts of Africa is illustrated
by the fact that on the Freetown-Mat
tru line, in Sierra Leone, eleven steel
bridges had to be built In a distance OF
only thirty kilometers.
A representative Of the Paris Temps
has been examining railway stations In
Germany, and he declares that those OF
Dresden. Cologne, Hanover, Frankfort
Bremen, etc, are far superior to any
Of the French except the Partisan.

A Peruian Barber.

A Persian barber works in style
very different from that in vogue in
this country. A typical shop is n
square room, with one side open to the
street. In the center is a tiny bed Of
flowers sunk In the floor, from the
middle Of which rises an octagonal
stone column about three feet high.
The capital of the column forms a
receptacle for the water in which the
barber dips his hand as he shaves his
customers scalp. In Persia they do
not lather. The shop is very clean. In
two recesses stand four vases filed
with flowers and the implements OF the
BARRIERS art--scissors, razors, lancets,
hand mirrors, large pinchers to extract
teeth, branding irons to cauterize the
arteries in amputating limbs. strong
combs, but not hairbrush, for that
Implement is never used by Persians.
From the barber's girdle hang a
round copper water bottle, his strop,
and a pouch to hold his instruments.
In his bosom is a small mirror, the
presentation of which to his customers
is sign that the job is finished and
that the barber waits for his pay. The
barber shaves the heads of his custom
ers, dyes their boards, pulls their teeth,
blisters and bleeds them when ailing,
sets their broken bones and shampoos
their bodies, ,-Exehange.

The Baked Potato In Disguise.

The homely baked potato is apt to
become monotonous article of food if
1t appears undisguised at the luncheon
table day after day or even five or six
times a week. With a little trouble
the potato can be made into very ap-
petizing dish by itself.
One way is to cut off the end of each
baked potato, scoop out the inside,
mash, adding milk, butter, salt and
pepper, the same as for mashed pota.
toes. Then place the mashed potato
back In the potato shells, stick in the
end Of each slice of bacon fried crisp,
place in the oven and heat through.
This makes an ideal luncheon dish.
Another way is to add grated cheese
to the mashed potato and place back in
the shells and heat through so that the
cheese melts. Some hostesses garnish
potatoes baked this way with a bit of
white of egg beaten stiff and a spray
Of parsley.

An Oddly of Lost Caste.

1t is not necessary to go to India to

mistress nursed her herself through a
tedious illness until she was quite well.
When that happy result was establish
ed. the maid Immediately Informed the
mistress that she intended to leave her
service. The reason Of the maids de-
uarture was this-'I could not live with
a mistress who has been waiting on
me herself" Quite evidently this is not
mere indifference to kindness or in
gratitude. The girl was the slave OF
that mysterious influence Of caste
which splits up into minute sections
every modern society. as 1t split up ev-
cry ancient society, and seems likely to
split up any future society that 1t Is

A QUESTION OF TEETH.
Did the Immortal George Wear Arr
tiGcial or Natural OnesI

tiGcial or Natural Oness
George Washington's false teeth,
which were supposed to have been
made of ivory, are giving a certain
class of freak historians about as much
trouble as they must have given the
venerable patriot who wore them,"
said one of the professors of the
Smithsonian institution to q reporter
recently.
MANY times year for several years
this institution has been called upon to
produce these mysterious teeth for the
inspection of persons who insist that
they are here.
soar matter of fact answer to these
inquiries that Washington had no false
teeth, or at least If he did, that they
are not in the possession Of the inu.
scum, seems only to stimulate the in.
quiring mad to protest our statement.
They proceed to give us authentic &C.
counts of these teeth and always con-
clude with expressing the belief that
they must be in the museum some
where.
"Where or how the idea that Wash
ingtor had false teeth originated is an
unsolved mystery. That 1t is firmly be-
lieved by many is certainly fact.
There seems to be no authentic record
Of the Father of His Country possess
ing ivory teeth. and by study of the
bust we have of him, which was made
but few years before his death, there
is no indication of an indentation along
the line of the gums such as can be
noticed in persons who have had their
teeth drawn, even though they wear
artificial ones. However, we will con-
tinue to answer the same question in
the same way probably many times In
the future"
According to some biographers
Washington lost his teeth during his
service as commander in chief Of the
Continental army and had a set Of
ivory ones made. These teeth, it Is
nlso stated, gave him much trouble be-
cause they did not Washington
