An Eagle Grove blacksmith was at
work in his shop welding a piece Of
iron the other day when a stupid look
ing fellow entered and stood watching
him at his work. The smith, not liking
his curiosity, picked up red hot iron
and held it directly under the fellows
nose. The fellow looked thoughtful for
a moment and then said: "If you'll
give me dollar I'll lick it," The smith
drew out his well filed purse and
handed him a dollar. He took it, licked
it and put it in his pocket, and then
went out whistling. 1t was the smith
who looked stupid then.

Two Millions Manufactured Annual

Probably not less than 100000 arti-
fetal teeth are manufactured in this
country each year, and still the output
goes on increasing. Never before was
such great care manifested for teeth as
has been exhibited during the past five
years. In this respect Americans lead
the world, not even the fastdious
French excelling the people Of the
United States in their solicitude for
the preservation Of natural teeth and in
their application Of the arts Of dental
science when substitutes have to be
provided for natures molars.
Englishmen are notoriously careless
about their teeth, although in late
years great progress has been made in
this matter.
a prominent dentist Of New York de-
clares that nearly every patient with a
mouthful Of decayed teeth is q foreign
er. 'eTbey let things drift" he says,
"and come only when pain drives them
here. Americans, and especially south
erners, hasten to their dentist immedi-
ately they detect even the slightest
signs Of coming trouble, and the result
is that there are by far more Saved
teeth in this country than in any other.

ably apathetic about their molars and

decayed teeth."--New York Times.

WEATHER PROPHETS.

Blow out a candle, and if the wick
con&inues long to smolder look for bad
weather. II 1t gees out quickly, the
weather viii be fair.
The twelve days after Christmas in
dicate the weather for the following
year. Each day in order shows the
weather for one month.
When it begins to snow, notice the
size Of the fakes. If they are very
fine, the storm Will be long one; if
large, the storm will soon be over.
# the chickens come out while it
rains, it is q sign that the storm is to
be long one. If they stand around
under the shed, the storm will be short.
When the cattle lie down as soon as
they are turned out to pasture in the
morning, it is because they feel rheu-
matte WEAKNESS in their bones, and you
can look for rain soon.
When night passes and no dew
falls, it is a sign it Is going to rain.
This omen loses much Of its mystery
when one remembers that dew has not
fallen because the night was clouded.
When you see the sun drawing water
at night, know that it will rain on the
morrow. The sun is said to be draw
ing water when its rays can be seen
shining through riffs in distant clouds.

Gluck In d Frenzy.

When Gluck composed his immortal
works, q bottle Of champagne vas al
ways paced on either side Of the piano,
and it's effer7escence helped to inspire
the great arias Of "Iphigenia," "Armi-
da" and "Alceste" When the final re-
hearsals were held Of the "Iphigenia," i"
Glucls had not yet written the melody
to the Dance Of the Scythians." Ma
rerre, the ballet master, becoming IN
easy over the delay, went to him one
morning to urge him to hurry it up.
AS he entered the composers anteroom
he heard unusual and terrific noises
emanating from Gluck's library. He
approached stealthily and through a
crack in the door saw Gluck in shirt
sleeves, bis face as red as fire and dis
torted by horrible grimaces, singing,
gesticulating and jumping about like a
madn1an. Naverre, frightened by the
extra ordinary spectacle, pushed the
door open. "Ah, there you are,' ex-
claimed Gluck. 81 am just finishing
your dance and will let you have it
right away" l. was then that Gluck
had composed that grand orgy Of the
savages which created such profound
sensation on the stage.

CONCERNING CALENDARS.
Some Interesting Ones Date rs Fer
Back as the Fourth Century.

Some Interesting Ones Date Us Far
Back as the Fourth Century.
Among the Greeks and Romans al
manacs or calendars were not written
for the general public, but We're pre-
served as part of the esoteric learning
Of the priests, whom the people had to
consult not only for the dates Of the
festivals, but for the proper times when
various legal proceedings might be In
stituted. About 800 B. c., however,
one Encius Flavius, secretary to Ap-
plus Claudius, stole these secrets by re-
peated applications to the priests ana
collated the information so gained. 1t
was really publishing an almanac
when, as Livy relates, Flavius exhibit
ed the tasti on white tables around
the forum. From this time similar
tablets containing the calendar, the
festivals, astronomical phenomena and
sometimes illusions to historical events
became quite common. They have been
dug up in Pompen and elsewhere.
There are also extant Christian cal
endacs dating as far back as the fourth
century, which give the names Of the
saints and other religious information.
One Of the most famous Of the cal
endars Of the middle ages is that COM
piled by Petrus Of Dacia in a. D. 1900.
A manuscript copy is preserved in the
Savilian library at Oxford. The Sym
boEcal Man or Man Of Signs (Homo
Signorum), still common feature in
almanacs, appears in this book, not, it
Is conjectured, for the first time, as it
seems to have been g survival from the
time Of Ptolemy's "Almagesi," collec-
ton Of classic observations and prob
lens relating to geometry and astron-
omy.
The first printed almanac was the
ssPro Pluribus Annis," issued at Vienna
IN 1857 by an astronomer named Pur-
bach. The earliest known almanac de-
voted expressly to the year Of issue
was published by Rabelais in 1888.
Thenceforth the ephemeral yearly
character Of the publication came to be
definitely recognized by almanac max
ers. NostradaInus set the fashion Of
incorporating predictions Of coming
events into al1nanacs, fashion that
has continued to this day in all purely
astrological brochures Of this sort
despite intermittent efforts to sup
press it by royal authority in France
and elsewhere.--Era.
