Turned His Coat.

A writer tells this story of the
governor Of British colony: "a
gentleman was serving as private
in volunteer corps in another col
ony. Being man of good social
position, he had dined with the gov
ernor, when one day, being in pri-
vate uniform, he was taken by one
Of the officers Of his regiment to
luncheon in tent in which the gov
ernor happened to be, whereupon
the latter remarked in loud voice
to the officer in question that he
could not sit down to table with one
in private's uniform. When in con-
sequence the man was about to re-
tire the governor said it was not the
man he objected to, but the dress,
and suggested that he should either
change It or turn it inside out. Be
ing much in want of bis luncheon,
the man swallowed the insult and
turned his coat inside OUT

BREAKING l. TO Him Softly.

In a certain law Office in New
York city there is clerk who is
afflicted with occasional fits of STAN
mering. Recently he was sent to
serve some papers on another law
yer. Upon presenting himself be-
fore the man he had to see he drew
out the papers and tried to make a
few explanatory remarks, but for
all his gagging and coughing not a
word could he utter. The lawyer
who was to be served was of an iras-
chile temperament, and he stood the
clerks sputtering as long as he
could.
''Come, Gomez he finally exclaim-
ed. care you process server or
what ?"
''N-n-n-o," gasped the wretched
clerk ''I'm-haw ah-I'm-I'm an

Dentistry.

The worlds first school of den

were established in America. A
Philadelphia dentist pointed out
this fact the other day. owe get our

he said. GA French dentist came
here to fight for us during the Rev
olution, and he taught all he knew
about his profession to an Ameri-
can soldier. The soldier afterward
established in Baltimore a school
for dentists, the first school in the
world, and it still fourishes. The
great-grandson Of the man who
founded it, the Revolutionary SOL
der who learned the principles Of
his profession from French dentist
beside a camp fire, is practicing bril-
iantly in the suburbs Of Philadel-
phia today. Every generation of the
family, from the founder of the
worlds first dental school on down,

Women In Prison.

The woman in prison is despoiled
of her fine feathers. The complete
modification of that harmless sort
Of vanity which fills so much Of a
woman's life makes her duranee
do'ubly vile. Her hair is shorn of
it's last lock, while the face that
gazed with perfect passiveness at
the judge who sentenced her is rails
ed in piteous protest. When the
hair grows longer again there is
grumbling because thoughtless ad-
ministration provides no hairpins.
One woman skinned the fat from
her broth after it had cooled to gilt
ter her crown Of glory, an attendant
relates. One girl, envied to the point
Of madness, certainly rouged. Final
ly her secret was out. She had
drawn some red threads from her
skirt, chewed them to extract the
color and used it on her lips and
cheeks. The most oppressive pen
ance is lack Of mirrors. Still there
are no male hearts around to break.

CARE OF CUT GLASS.
Attention Viii Preserve Its Purity For
a hundred Years.

Attention viii Preserve It's PURIFY For
a hundred Years.
With proper care cut glass should
keep its purity for hundred years.
This cannot be done, however, If it
is carelessly washed in greasy dish
water or if exposed to extremes OF
heat and coN. Cut glass articles
require much more care during the
process of washing than those made
Of plain glass, because of the I'M
equal thickness of the glass, which
makes it expand and shrink irregu-
larly.
Warm water, the best CASTLE OF
other pure soap and a stiff brush are
the first essentials. Wash carefully
in a good suds and brush thorough
" through all the cuttings. Rinse
the glass off in clear water of the
same temperature and set to. drain.
After five minutes put in box
of lockwood sawdust, filling all the
cuts. This will absorb the moisture
in the cuttings. Let it stand ten OF
fifteen minutes, then give it another
brush through the cuttings with a
dry brush or soft cloth. Wipe in
side and out with a lintless linen
cloth.
By following these directions the
original sparkle and cleanliness of
the glass will be maintained.
Shot should not be used in ca
rates, cruets, decanters, oil bottles,
toilet and similar articles. It is apt
to scratch. Plain everyday potato
parings are the best cleansing agen-
cies that can be employed. Let
them remain in the glassware over
night and then rinse out in tepid wa
ter. When there are no stains a
sponge, fastened to the end of a
stick, will be found useful to wipe
the inside of the ware. In washing
cut glass put folded towel in the
bottom of the dishpan, unless you
have one of the cedar tubs.
To distinguish between the gen
uine hand cut glass and that where
the pattern is bitten out by INNER
sion in a corrosive liquid look at
the cutting. A greasy shading be-
traying dullness is never seen in rep
utable handwork. = Kansas City

HIS BETROTHERl
An Experience Of Fredrika Bremen In

An Experience Of Fredrika Bremen In
America.
When Fredrika Bremen, the Swed-
ish novelist, was travelling in Amer
lea she took the liberty Of talking
with all kinds of strangers md ask
ed kindly but very personal ques-
lions. One day in going from New
York to Washington, says Lippin-
colts Magazine, she sat beside
young mechanic, and in her desire
of obtaining information began to
question him:
"What is your name r.

"Just twenty-four, num-"

"What work do you do?"
81 am a bricklayer, mum"
"How much do you make at your
trade"
"Two dollars day, num-"
"You do not drink, hope?"
"No, mum; Pm teetotal."
Then, to her amusement, the
young workman turned about and
put the same questions to her. She
answered them with the greatest
frankness and good nature, and at
Philadelphia, where she was to stop
over, she left him. That day after
dinner a waiter came to her in the
hotel with the information that a
young man wanted to see her.
81 know no one here" said she.
"There must be some mistake"
"He says he came over with you
from New York. His name is JON
athan Brewster"
"Oh!" laughed the lady. swell,
you may tell him | am tired, and he
really must excuse me-"
Presently the waiter was back
again.
"Miss Bremer," said he, 'that
young chap won't go. He says you
never could have tried to send him
away, for you want to marry him.
He says you asked him about his
circumstances and told him you
were single and that you made lot
of money. So he thinks he'd rather
live in Sweden with a rich wife than
slave here for So day."
