G. II. euler, the Trout Lake hotel

says everything is lively out at that re-
sort, the price Of land having doubled
since last summer. Mr.. euler has just
completed two summer cottages, which
he has already rented and is contem-
plating putting up another. He is ex-
pecting "A number of people from Port
land his year, having already been in
communication with several who have
planned to summer there. A great adj
vantage over last year will be the fact
that about two hours less time will be
consumed in making the trip out from

A novel plan was adopted down in
Newburg Saturday. They had what
was called "clean-up-day. "At 8 O'Clock
that morning the bells of the town were
rung and the whistles blown and every
body began the work of raking and
scraping, which continued all day. Mon
day wagons were kept busy carrying the
debris away and that town was left a
model OF neatness. In the evening a
public meeting was held in one OF the
churches, when an address was made
relating to the interests OF the little
city.

Utilizing the Cat,

Making her cat act as her plumber
was the ingenious feat that a woman
Of Manayunk accomplished the other
day. This woman Lad noticed that one
of the pipes connected with the wash
stand in her bathroom leaked, and she
wished to locate the leak precisely
without tearing out any more Of the
wall than was needful.
Accordingly she shut her cat up in
her parlor-the parlor is directly below
the batlroom-and into the basin Of
the defective washstand she poured a
vial Of the oil Of valerian. Cats are ex-
cessivcly fond of the odor of va~lerian.
4 cat would rather inhale this odor
than eat fish. The Manayunk woman's
cat after it had been in the parlor a
few minutes began to pur. purring, it
crossed the room. 1t settled itself on
the floor with it's face to one spot on
the wall, and here its mistress found it
when she came downstairs, its nose
glued to the spot, shifting and purring
ecstatically.
The wall was opened at this point,
and here, sure enough, the leak was
found. Here the valerian had trickled
through, %inparting its Intoxicating
odor to the cat.-Philadelphia Record.

CuriOsities About Dentistry.

Those who imagine that the care Of
the teeth and the replacement of the
natural grinders with false ones is
'something new under the SUM- may
be surprised to learn that artificial
teeth were made of ivory, placed on
plates of the same material and held
together and in place by gold wires and
rivets 500 to 1000 years before Christ.
Herodotus, the father of history" tells
us that the Egyptians of the fifth dy-
nasty understood the diseases of the
teeth and their treatment. There are
several passages in history 10 lead one
to the belief that both Cesar and An
tony wore artificial teeth.
The date of the introduction of false
teeth into Europe is uncertain. They
were known in England as early at
least as the time of the discovery Of
America. "The Mathematical Jewel"
published in 1885, contains an account
of Sir John Balgrave, "who caused all
Of hys teethe to be drawne out and aft
er had a sett Of ivory teethe in agayne."

1t is whispered that velvet and vel
veteen are returning to favor; nay,
more, that evening gowns Of white vel

Paris.
The newest thing promised for fall

Referring to the Pierre State Reg
lster's attempt to make people be-
lieve that the capital removal result
mlssionists are responsible for the big
appropriations Of the last legislature
and that the development OF the
lands west of the Missouri river
owned by the state institutions will
help the taxpayer in the eastern part
OF the state. the Elk Point Courier
remarks:
The question Of capital removal
should be decided on its merits and
not on an incidental matter like this.
Ii the argument of the State Regis
ter, tending to show how the develop
ment OF state institution land will
help the taxpayers Of the eastern part
OF the state is worth considering, the
friends Of Mitchell will ask il this
will not be equally true with the cap-
ltal lemOVG1 to Mitchell.

evil you explain just Tie practical
benefit of mileposts along Il railroad

the superintendent as they flow past
one Of the white painted posts.
$50 far as the general public is con-
cerned," replied the superintendent, Il
don't suppose that mileposts are Of any
particular benefit. The traveller can tell
by looking out of the car window how
far he is from the terminal points, but
in that he is not greatly Interested.
"Some people like to figure out from
the mileposts how far they have tray
eled or how far they have to go, and
there are not a few who like to time
the speed of trains by the mileposts.
But that is not what the posts are for.

eff an accident occurs, q rail breaks,
a car lets down or anything out Of the

superintendent is notified of the prOX-
unity Of the mishap to some particular
milepost, and thus the spot can be To-
Gated, and men are sent there at once,
and they can go in a hurry, for they
know where the place is. Otherwise
they would have to move slowly be-
tween stations until the spot was found,
and this means a loss of time much
more valuable thar the price Of the
mileposts. and it would be pretty hard
to railroad successfully without them"

PlOwinE the Water.

A curious method Of producing plat
mum is reported to be practiced by the
inhabitants along the Tura river, in
Tomsk, Siberia. They call it blowing
the water" A raft is constructed, and
fastened to it is an inclined gutter of
boards, which at its lower end is pro-
vided with an iron pillow. While float
ing down the river they scrape or pillow
its bottom. The sand scraped out falls
into the gutter and passes into a tub
filled with pine boughs, upon which
platinum is deposited. The sand of the
Tura river and its tributaries is so rich
in platinum that even this primitive
production is profitable to the peasants.

Small Plastic JUDGEMENTS

That insects think is the belief Of a
French neur0iogist who has been MAX
ing careful observations Of ants and
bees. He thinks that, between the
ideas of the naturalist who regards in
sects as mere automatons and those of
the man who treats them as humanity
Intelligent, there is a happy medium Of
common sense, and this he has tried to
attain. His observations teach him
that, although most of the acts Of in
sects can be explained by instinct,
there remain what he calls small
plastic Judgments by which they
avoid difficulties and steer their way
beyond dangers. The directive faculty
of bees especially and their wonderful
memory for places can hardly be ex-
planned on the theory of automatism.
