TWO REASONS.
No One Need Neglect Their Teeth Any
Moreno Pain, Small Cost.

No One Need Neglect Their Teeth Any
Moreno Pain, Small Cost.
The two great reasons why people
used to neglect their teeth were: Fear
of being hurt, and the expense.
When you come to think it over now +,
it is truly remarkable what reyolu-
tion has taken place in modern dental
methods. Wise Brothers, the famous
Portland dentists, are among the fore
most in the United States in this re-
spect. Their announcements that there
is not particle of pain connected with
any dental work done in their Office is
literally true. And it is also literally
true that every person who goes to
these dentists is greatly surprised at
the small cost of having the teeth put
in fine order. A whole set of teeth
now costs less than some time ago it
cost to have one pulled or filled. There
is no excuse whatever for anyone to ne
glect his, or her, teeth. Even the man
or woman receiving the lowest wages
paid in this Northwest can we'll afford
to have the teeth looked after and be-
gin to enjoy life.
Again, word about the children.
When young person has second teeth,
fathers and mothers should see to it
that their son or daughter goes to the
dentist and has the teeth examined.
Oftentimes just little work before it
is too late saves the teeth pure and
beautiful for lifetime. Take time by
the forelock and consult Wise Brothers,

The head and feet are to be skinned
and scalded after cutting off the beak
and claws. and the heart, liver and
gizzard properly cleaned and put into
the soup. Allow a quart and a pint
of water to each pound of chicken, and
season rather below the taste, be-
cause the quantity Of soup will be less
ened by boiling. Cover the soup ket-
tie, place it at one side of the fire
where it will boil gently for several
hours until the meat falls apart; the
soup will then be ready to strain, re-
moving the bones, and finish for the
table by the addition of some delicate
dumplings, such as batter-hakes or
egg-barley dumplings.

CREDULITY OF THE HINDU.

Sample of the De1us1ons Which He
Occasionally Harbors.
Here is a remarkable instance of the
credulity Of the Hindu, and the wild
kind of delusions which he occasion
ally harbors. The writer is described
as a Hindu gentleman Of standing and
reputation, and this extract is taken
from letter written to a gentleman in
England:
1--WE are having awfully serious news
circulated in the papers here. Extracts
purported to be from the Morning
Leader, of London, and La Bon Guon-
dia of Spain, impress us that the en-
peror on the coronation day was dan
gerously i'll, and was never really
crowned, for the ministers caused him
to be personated by a beggar of White
chapel. We are really very concerned
to hear it, and we firmly believe the
news to be a false creation, but Won
der why the government is still mac
tive as regard to taking any steps to
punish the author of so foul calumny."
The gentleman who sends me the
examples of the amusing fictions which
gain currency among the natives of
India, says writer in London Truth.
The bigger and the more preposterous
the lie, he says, the more readily it is
believed. When the Jubilee bridge over
the Hooghly was being built, the story
got about that the government required
a thousand heads of natives for the
foundations of the bridge, and had
given orders that all natives walking
over the madam after dark were to be
seized, and taken to the ''Shaitan
Khana"-the native name name for the
Masonic lodge-where their heads were
to be cut off for use in this uncanny en-
gineering operation. The natives, it is
said, were afraid to walk in that direc-
ton after dark for this reason. Again,
at the time of the last Indian frontier
war, a fat Babu clerk disappeared from
one of the government offices and could
not be found. 1t was firmly believed,
says my correspondent, by his fellow
clerks and neighbors, that he had been
seized by order of the government, to
be made into ointment for the benefit of
the wounded soldiers. Happily, the fat
Babu turned up again safe and sound;
so no serious consequences resulted
from this delusion. If an idea like this
can be seriously accepted, as my in
formant says it was, by the class of ma
tives who pass examinations and hold
public appointments, nothing that may
find acceptance with the "lower orders
can be wondered at

BREAKFAST FOR ONE.
There Is No Accounting for the Wis.
DOM of the Woodchuck.

There Is No Accounting for the Wis
dom of the Woodchuck.
That keen observer Of nature, John
Muir, tells In "Our National Parks a
pretty story of woodchuck. In the
spring of 1875 he was exploring the
peaks and glaciers about the head of
the middle fork of the San Joaquin,
and when passing round frozen lake
where the snow was ten feet deep,
was surprised to find the fresh track
of woodchuck.
What could the animal be thinking
of to come out SO early while all the
ground was snow-buried? The steady
direction of his track showed he had
definite aim, and fortunately it was
toward a mountain thirteen thousand
feet high that 1 meant to climb. So
followed to see if could find out what
he was up to.
From the base Of the mountain the
track pointed straight up, and knew
by the melting snow that / was not
far behind him. lost the track on a
crumbling ridge partly projecting
through the snow, but soon discovered
1t again.
Toward the summit of the mountain,
In an open spot on the south side, near
ly enclosed by disintegrating pinnacles
among which the sun heat reyerber-
ated, making isolated patch of warm
climate, I found fine garden, full of
rock cress, phlox, silene, draba, and a
few grasses; and In this garden 1 over
took the wanderer, enjoying a fine
fresh meal, perhaps the first of the
season.
How did he know the way to this
one garden spot, so high and so far off,
and what told him that it was in
bloom while yet the snow was ten feet
deep over his den? He must have had
more botanical, typographical and eli
matological knowledge than most
mountaineers possess.

They had been reading a Rolfe an

was nothing in Julius Caesar" that
they were not perfectly familiar with.
Before the performance was half
through there was nothing that they
knew which everybody within half
dozen rows did not hear about; for
among the three Of them-a man and
two women-there were such capaci-
ties for conversation as are met with
nowhere except in thearer.
In tones that alternately Kissed and
brayed and rasped till spinal columns
all around them ached they told one
another that Anthony was much bet
ter done than Brutus; that Portia
would come on in minute in the gar
den scene; that Casca was supposed
to be grun old Roman: that Caesar
actually did have fits-think of it! that
it was a pity (this in a whisper that
shivered far down the aisle and splin-
tered at least a score Of vertebrae)
Roman ladies didn't wear corsets. So
on, ad nauseam.
At last the ghost and the distraught
Brutus met and there was a thrilled
silence in all the crowded house save
in row Q, where a strident voice COM
planned:

A man behind the querulous dis

Floor Stain.

Floors that are stained and oiled are
easily kept clean. The material costs
very little, and any one can apply it.
For an oak stain, take raw sienna. add
little umber to it, and mix half pint
Of linseed oil and one quart Of turpen-
tine. A tablespoonful of Japan dryer
put into the turpentine will make It
dry quickly. A cheap dark brown stain,
which is better for old floors than a
lighter color, is made by mixing one
fourth Of pound Of permanganate of
potash in one quart Of water. Apply
with an old paint brush, and give the
floor two coats if one does not make it
dark enough. After the floor is stained,
give it coat Of boiled linseed oil. If
the oiling is repeated every spring or
fall, your floor will always look we'll.
