Wise Bros, the Portland Dentists, Do
Some Original Pulling.
If this item pulls you to our Office to
have your tooth pulled, it will not hurt
you to have the tooth pulled any more
than it hurt you tn have your inclina-
tions pulled in our favor. II this talk
fails to pull you in our direction, then
we shall have so much less tooth
pulling to do, but we want lots of it.
We send out our words urging you to
take immediate care of your teeth. We
try to pull your thoughts to the safe
conclusion that it is best to have bad
teeth pulled out right away without
any waiting; and when we pull the
teeth it does not hurt you. Besides
that, it does not pull much money from
your pocket, for our charges are very
moderate. This short talk on pulling
we sincerely hope will pull you to our
Office, and, if you come, you will find
that not any of these pulls hurt anyone.
On the contrary, each and every one of
them will do both you and us good.
You will see that we tell the truth
when we say that dental work in our
Office is painless and inexpensive, and
when you return to your home satisfied
with our work we hope you will tell
some of your friends about US. Wise

Diamonds that Explode.

1t has long been known that dia-
monds, especially the class known as
rose diamonds" are likely to explode
if subjected only to what would seem
a very ordinary degree Of heat.
1t is now believed that the explosions
are the result Of the rapid expansion
of certain volatile liquids inclosed in
cavities near the center of these pre-
cious stones. A great many diamonds,
even though cut, mounted and worn as
gems of perfection, are still in an unfin-
ished condition-that is, the liquid
drop from which the stone Is being
formed has not as yet deposited all of
its "pure crystals of carbon" These
movable drops may occasionally be seen
with the naked eye.
When this is the case, strong mi
croscope will give the drop the appear
ance of a bubble in the fluid in a car
penter's level. 1t Is also highly prob
able that besides the liquid mentioned
these cavities may contain gases under
great tension. This being the case, one
may readily comprehend how very
small amount of heat would cause the
liquid and the gas to expand to such
a degree that the diamond would give
way with an eXplosion.-London An

Conversations of Pastors.

From an open letter in the February Century,
In the ministry, service and salary
are not equal terms. The high office
was not created for the advantage of
the holder, and the calling is degraded
into mere profession when it is made
the subject of money equivalents. The
work of the ministry is more especially
in the realm of the moral and spiritual, +,
and therefore can never be financial
ly compensated in any exhaustive COM
mercial sense" Nevertheless, the
minister adapted by conduct and learn
ing to his high calling ordinarily does
have. and should have, slaary proper
tionate to the demands of the field he
is tilling, and compensations far more
satisfying and worthy of consideration
than salaries.

Color in the Arctics.

The leading color pictures in the
February Century-the most novel and
curious in subject of any that magazine
has yet published are from interest
ing and beautiful studies of the aurora
borealis made by Frank Wilbert Stokes
while in the Arctic in the fall of 1892,
and are richly worthy the subject.
They reproduce in print for the first
time in a popular magazine the wonder
full effects of the aurora. Mr.. Stokes,
probably the first real colorist to visit
the Arctic regions, was with the Peary
and relief expeditions on the Kite when
he was privileged to see some color dis
plays worth all the dangers and priva-
tions of the trip. His word painting is
as vivid and interesting as his color
work.

The Term Spinster.

Among our industrial and frugal

that young woman should never be
married until she had spun herself a
set of body, table and bed linen. From
this custom all unmarried women were
termed spinsters, an appellation they
still retain in all our law proceedings.
