MEN WHO LIVED LONG.
A Census in Vespasian's Reign Showed Several Centenarians
 Were TjuiuC

It Is generally supposed that the men and women of this age live longer than those of ancient times, but certain clas- sical scholars of Europe are of a different opinion and they point to census which was taken in the reign of the Emperor Vespasian as proof that they have good ground for disagreeing with scientists on this point, says The New York Herald
 When this census was taken several persons were living who were more than 100 years old. among them being two ill Parma, each 120 years; one in Brixelluln, 125: one in Placentia, 130; woman in Fa- ventia, 135; L. Terentius, in Cologne l4O: M. Aponius and Tertula the former beng 40 and the latter 137, and at Velejacium, near Placentia, six persons who were 1lO four 12O and one who was 14O.
 Moreover, several historical personages lived to a great age. Cata Censorfus trans acted business until he was nearly 90, and retained to the end his old time vigor. Terentus Varro lived to be nearly 100 and he continued to write up to the day of his death. Plato died in his S2nd year, and his last hour was devoted to intellectual work. Isocrates was 94 years old when he wrote his famous work "Panathenaikus."
 Chrysippus began to write his work on logic in his S0th year. Cleanthes taught his pupils up to his 9Oth year. Sophocles lived to be nearly 100 and during his last days he wrote the "Odipus Coloneus." one of the greatest tragedies ever written.
 Quintus Fabius was appointed augur when he was past middle age, and he held the office for sixty-two years. Livia. the wife of Rutillius. lived to be 91; Te-

in an argument whether she be right or wrong. She will neither give up nor in to anybody.
 Teeth that project are hideous, but they denote generosity. Women with projecting teeth are usually pious, gener- ous, good souled and free from the af- fections of womankind Such teeth be- long to the best people in the world. those who can be relied upon in time of trouble as they say.
 There Is another style of teeth, the teeth that are very uneven and crowded in the jaw. Where such teeth are of different size and of different colors, as Is often the case, they denote an cratic disposition.
 Very talented people have uneven teeth, all sizes, all shapes and gathered
 together apparently at haphazard by Mother Nature. The precocious girl and
 the precocious boy will show such teeth
 as this, and you will not infrequently
 find such row of teeth in the mouth of
 man or woman who has done something | in the world
 In these days of cosmetic dentistry the
 shape of the teeth may be altered, but
 not sufficiently to entirely obliterate the natural traces.
 Teeth can be bleached by perfectly | harmless antiseptic chemicals and kept bleached by good tooth powder, paste or soap. There are so many good denti- frices on the market that there is no
 need of having the yellowed tooth unless | the cause comes from within. The best dentists advise the use of DOW dered pumice about once a month. The tiniest sprinkle of it on the brush will act as polisher upon the teeth, but it must | not be used in any quantity nor frequent | ly, or it will certainly remove the en- amel. The teeth should be examined after the pumice has been used to see if it has tendency to scratch the enamel The teeth require a certain amount of | hard food. The back teeth are powerful
 and they need a certain amount of exer- else. Soft foods will not supply this and
 the teeth will suffer unless given some | thing hard to chew
 Dyspeptics should endeavor not to allow
 food to remain in the mouth, for 1t sours
 from the acidity of the stomach and de- cays the teeth. Those who take medi- cines should rinse the mouth well after
 eating. This Is always a nice habit but
 it is one that should certainly never. by any chance, be neglected by the woman whose digestion Is not at all as it ought to be.
 Never neglect anything that can add to your attractions" is the motto of the professional beauty. and it is one that
 the modest home woman of average good looks should take unto herself

In 1895 the public paid only s544.414 to sec racing in New York, as compared with g, 6SO in 19O1 and S3,401.717 in 1902, an increase out of all proportion to the growth in population or the sporting ele- ment of the community. In 1895 the re- ceipts of the Saratoga track were only $30720. as compared With $359942 for the season of 190c.

The various companies. in case they occupy competi- tive territory, vie with one another in giving this form of advertising an at tract!veness to insure attention. The outside pages are often decorated with a highly wrought representation of some particularly attractive scenic feature on the line. and 1t is often tho case that strong contrasts in printers ink are em- ployed to catch the eye.
 The yearly cost to all the railroads of providing the travelling public with in- formation about the time at which their trains reach the various stations and the connections made with other lines runs up into the millions. In addition to what is paid for the production of time ta- hles is that for their distribution. In all of the larger cities there are agencies that look after the replenishing of the racks and the stocking up of the branch offices of the big trunk lines.
 Each office is supposed to carry full line of folders for the benefit of real and pretended purchasers of transportation. and the supplies are obtained from these distributing agencies. Horses, wagons, and men are employed in the work. and tine cost of their maintenance comes out of the railroads. How far the companies are compensated for this particular out lay no one knows, and 1t Is doubtful If any attempt was ever made to find out.
 The history of the railroad time table is fraught with no little interest. as is shown by a discussion of the matter be- fore a recent assemblage of the members

Character May Be Read
 I'm the Shape of Teeth

The girl whose teeth are not pretty must take herself to a dentist. for char acter is to be read in the teeth, and not only character, but personal traits.
 The reading of character by the teeth was a task undertaken by palmist of London, who had turned his attention toothward. If the character can be told by the palm, it can also be read in the teeth" he declared. And at once by a ing room at the time. he demonstrated the fact that it was possible to tell not only character. but tendencies and traits, cultivated and inherited.
 Teeth that point inward" said he, are teeth that remind you of a fish's teeth. They are usually short, rather sharp, and the inward curve is very pronounced.
 Such teeth belong to the selfish wo- man. They denote some personal vanity, but specially great selfishness. If you know d woman whose teeth curve inward ly, beware, for she is a woman who looks out for herself first and for you after ward. Such people are usually inordi- nately fond of good things to eat, and they will go to great lengths to get that which they want.
 The best teeth are those that are even and not too small, but rather regular and of a creamy whiteness. Blue-white teeth denote weak mental powers, and teeth that are very dark usually tell of a poor state of physical health. But the cream white teeth, of medium size, set regular Iy in the mouth in a nice, even row, are The best teeth of all to have.
 Teeth that are separatedsby large open spaces generally belong to a vicious dis position. The man whose teeth are separated is cruel in his nature and the woman whose teeth are not pushed together. but that grow apart so as to leave big spaces between. is the woman whose fits of temper have gotten her into trouble many time and oft.
 "Very large teeth that show prominent iy and seem to come out to a point in front denote much animal spirit. Wo- men who have such teeth as this are in- clined to laugh a great deal and to enjoy life. When you find such a set of teeth you find a good dispositions: and the :eeth, if well cared for, are a positive beauty in the good natured face.
 Teeth set in narrow jaw indicate re- inement. No matter how large they be ,r how irregular. they show that the owner has refined tastes and quick natural Sympathies.
 Every short. very stubby teeth denote obstinacy, and, where the teeth are very blunt, as though they had been sawed off. the woman who is blessed with such teeth can be relied upon to hold her own

HER HAIR Al AUCTION.
A Maine Girl Raises Money to Pay
 for Painting the Church.

A me1ne Glrl Raises Money to Fay
 for Painting the Church.
 Castipe. (Me.) Letter in The New York
 Sun.-
 For more than a year the members of the Union Church have been making ef- forts to pay off the mortgage on the property and get money enough to paint the building on the outside, and So soon as the summer visitors arrive they are besieged by women, who call at all hours. asking for contributions to the cause.
 Thls month the parishioners held a church fair to secure money that was needed immediately. Most of the summer colonists attended paying the admissIon fee and sitting back to witness the per formance. which had been amounted.
 After the prayer ard singing the pastor announced that Miss Bessie Smythe. daughter of farmer who lived on the Orland road had consented to sell her hair at auction and to have 1t cut off Tn the presence of the company to be given to the one who would pay the most for it, the money to be devoted to the cause in which all were interested.
 The hair was uncoiled and shaken free from pins and combs until 1t hung down her back and swept the platform. It was very thick and of a ruddy brown color.
 The novelty of the scene and the great sacrifice which the good looking young girl was willing to make touched the vis- itors from out of town in a place that no soliciting committee had been able to reach. The bidding went on briskly, until a lawyer from Worcester, Mass. had of fered $11O
 Then a Boston wholesale merchant arose and said it was a shame to make such a sacrifice when there was no need of it. and that if he had money enough about his person to protect the girl the l.. t-z agreed that as the rivals made their bids they should deposit the money on. a table in front of the auctioneer.
 The contest was spirited for half an hour. and more than $l.0Q0 in bills was on the table when the Worcester man said he had no more money this side of the bank where he made his deposits. As it

the name Of Senator Cockrell as Mis-.
Souri's choice for the presidency, was a
large and enthusiastic gathering IN
d%oubtedly the motives actuating the
party leaders in this sta e to urge the
senator's candidacy are various and,
perhaps, in the case of a few of them,
not altogether unselfish. But lock-

a candidate who would poll so large a

solution to some of the difficulties
which are going to confront the ma
