Decayed MOlars Cause Disturbance
IF the Ocular eFves

MANY people who come to me to have
their teeth attended to complain Incl
dentally of failing eyesight, and when
I tell them that bad teeth in nine cases
out of ten are the cause few feel in
clined to believe me-" said a well
known New York dentist.
bad sight is generally attributed to
o%verstudy. debilitated constitution and
a hundred and one other causes But
have you ever heard any one place the
blame on the teeth? Bad teeth are the
direct result of insufficient application
Of the toothbrush. and bad eyesight.
resulting from the decayed molars ex-
citing disturbances OF the ocular
nerves. is the next inevitable penalty.
That is a fact which seems to be little
known.
1.-The other day | extracted four de
cayed teeth of a young girl who was
almost totally blind. Her pupils were
dilated and insensible. A week after
I had pulled her teeth her sight was
practically restored. Two months pre-
vious to this cure the girl had beer e.
amined by an expert oculist, who,
after putting her to various eye tests.
designated the case as 'hysterical an
blyopia.' and l guess that's about all
the satisfaction the girl got. judging
by her condition when she came to me.
In saying this do not think for a mo
ment that ! am in any way prejudiced
against oculists. l merely cite the in
stance.
I'm the course of a year l attend Ia
the teeth of scores Of people with i'm
paired vision. and in every case where
the teeth are drawn the sight is soon
after either greatly improved or entire
y restored."-New York Times.

THE QUALIFY OF GENIUS.
Its Practical Absorption of "a Mans

To be a great lawyer is Incompatible
with being Il great poet. Nevertheless.
Shakespeare was fond of showing his
little legal knowledge. and Bacon has
written some verse. There have been
writers of eminence. like Walter Scott
and T%hackeray. who were lawyers by
profession. but they must have made
though some of them. like Walter
Scott. have got money by following the
law. Hoffman, the author of The Pot
Of Gold" and other imaginative stories.
was a man of genius. who was also n
judge or a magistrate. l think. howev-
er. that his legal duties sat lightly on
him. His connection with the law
seems somewhat similar to that of
Walter Scott. 1t was neither absorb
Ing nor permanent. Politicians turn
to literature. Literary men. like Cha
teaubriand and Lamartine. have held
high places as politicians. but they
never were real statesmen. and |
should not call them men of great
genius. \. mar of action may be great
In more fields of action than one.

were not and could o be poets.
though Julius Caesar was n writer.
Among the ancient Greeks and later
Spaniards and Portuguese we find
poets who We're soldiers and even gen
erals. They. however. were not wholly
military. Only a part. and sometimes
a small part. of their lives was spent
In service. Horace's experience of war
was very short. and. although he was

tnguished soldier. A mar may be
excellent in more ways than one. but
he cannot De a man Of genius in two
different ways. A few instances. such
as that of Sheridan. might be given
which seem to be exceptions to the

The same inclination made Sheridan

wAGNER'S HOME.
0ow the Great Composer Came ="
Live In Baireuth.

How Wagner came to make bai-
UNth his home is a rather interesting
story. He had long dreamed OF pos
sessing Il theater where his COMPOSE
tons could be interpreted to UT MS
Ideas. but had little hope that the
dream would ever be fulfilled. When.
however. in his period of greatest de-
preston and loneliness he formed the
friendship of the late king of Bavaria
|. seemed s,sidenly as if all things
we're possible to him. In 5 & his royai
protector instructed the celebrated
architect. Gottfried Semper. to prepare
the plans for the theater. which was
to be built ut Munich. Through po-
litical and professional d~issensions ana
iealousies the town council of Munich
refused permission for the erection OF
the thcater there. In ST. Wagner
visited Baireuth and. after taking
counsel with the celebrated bankers.
Messrs. Fenstel and Gross. decided
upon Il site in that city. The munich
pality of the town. correctly estimating
the financial advantages which would
accrue. presented Wagner with two
plots of land. one for the theater and
the other for his own house. The lat
ter was Immediately built. and in lSi2
Wagner removed his family from
T%rubchen. near Lucerne. to the new
home. Wahnfricd. The corner stone of
the heater was laid on his siXtieth
birthday. May %. 1872. 1t was esti-
mated that the theater would cost
3OO.O 600 thalers about $25O,OOO,. and
this sun was very largely raised by
Wagner societies throughout the world.
1t was completed in 1876 and dedicated
with the presentation of Der Ring des
Nibelungen" on Aug. 13 of that year.
Since then ii has been the Mecca Of
the lovers Of Wagnerian music from
all parts of the world.

Box OMce Superstition.

A newspaper man was the second il
line at the box office Of one of the popu-
lar theaters on the opening night. The
first man asked for four seats, and
when he started I o pay for them the
man in the box office said:
"Oh. that's all right. There's no
charge at all for those seats"
The mar looked surprised, thanked
the ticket manipulation and went on.
Then the newspaper man had his turn.
and he said:
"Please satisfy impertinent curiosity
and tell me why you wouldn't take
that mans money"
WELL" said the treasurer, II expect
you didn't notice that that man was
cross eyed. II l had sold him the first
tickets we wouldn't have had a bit of
luck through the whole engagement"

An Old Time Remedy.

In the Ice chest Of a Germantown
residence there are always lying four
or five big keys. This is because the
nose of the little son Of the house
bleeds every few days, and nothing
stops the hemorrhage like the dropping
a large, cold key down the childs back,
says the Philadelphia Record. He
squirms and cries out before the shock,
and then In a moment he is well. his
nose stops bleeding. A physician said
that the cold key remedy for the hem
orrhage of the nose was as old, he sup
posed, as keys themselves are. 1T is a
very good remedy" he went on. and
its curative power is due to the shock 1t
gives. But isn't it an odd thing to use
a cold key? Almost as odd. to my mind,
as the candle with which some persons
tallow their noses when they have a
cold. But the candle remedy does no
good, so far as I can see, whereas the
key remedy is one Of the best In the
business"

The Snow Was a Little Too Heavy

Mechanical devices are now made

the old stock actor. ut hasn't been 80
many years ago since even the simple
device of depicting snOwstorm was
regarded an achievement. l remember
on one occasion l was out with COM
pany playing repertoire and In one
melodrama-I don't even now recall
the name-I took the part of an old
man whose daughter, the heroine, had
been abducted. l was supposed to be
blind, and my strong scene was In the
third act, when l went out into
snowstorm in search Of my daughter.
She was lying in drift, and as hob
bled across the stage l kept crying:
Me che-ild! Where is me che-ild?
"Well, it was early in the season and
the play was the first attraction at that
theater. The scene pain; IS had been at
work and had dropped several paint
brushes, hammers and other articles
into the sheet that held the snowstorm.
AS the stage hands in the flies shook
the sheets to make the snow come
out a couple of hammers came down
and Just missed me by an inch. l was
blind and didn't dare to look up, but
when monkey wrench just grazed my
temple l had presence of mind enough

never stopped to question how blind

At the mems service in a Yorkshire
parish the vicar tried to convey the Les
son that the truest heroes and heroines
are those who do noble deeds In the
secret corner Of the home, where none
can see or applaud.
"Few Of you seem to think" he con-
cluded, "that your wives staying at
home uncomplainingly to mind the chill
dren and prepare the meals are
heroines, and yet their touching devo-
ton to duty proves them to be So"
It certainly hadn't struck one old
farmer in this way before, and as soon
as he got home he promptly told his
wife that the vicar had called her a
heroine.
whatever does that mean" asked
the good lady.
"Oh, It means q woman who stays In
t house instead Of goin' art to show

"Then I'm not a heroine, an I'll

About Volcanoes.

Few persons have any idea of the
prodigious quantity of lava and hot
ashes which volcano in state OF
eruption can vOmit IN few hours.
The matter which was discharged In
1869 from Mount Etna and which
threatened to Overwhelm Catania forms
a mass the extent of which has been
estimated as being not less than l,OO0,-
100000 cubic yards.
From the immense crater OF kilauea,
in Hawaii, there was vomited in 1910
during single eruption a mass of lava
equivalent to fifty times the volume OF
earth which 1t was necessary to remove
in order to form the Suez canal.
In 1873 the Skaptar-JOkull, one of the
most redoubtable volcanoes in Iceland,
sent forth two rivers of fire, one OF
which ran along a valley for eighty
miles, its depth along the entire dis
lance being thirty yards. Finally, it Is
estimated that from the mass of stones
and ashes which were discharged in
1888 from Krakatoa could be formed q
mountain higher and wider than Mont
Blanc.
