Wealth is the criterion and regulator
of all position and class in these days,
and the possession of gold filings does
not add I'm the least to ones worldly
riches
There is absolutely no way of put
ting this gold back into circulation,
either. All through life the wearer
cannot make any monetary use Of II,
and when he dies IL goes into the grave
with him. A man may be broke"
man, times In life with enough wealth
locked up in his teeth to tide him over
to more prosperous time and not
benefit thereby In the least. There is
no record Of any one ever having his
teeth extracted in order to use the
gold in them. One dentist, IL is true,
angered at the nonpayment of a bill
inveigled patient into his chair and
proceeded to remove the molars into
which he had pounded several dollars
worth of good gold. This would seem
to be beginning toward the utillza-
ton of the lost metal, but his method
was sternly frowned upon both by the
judiciary and the members of his pro-
fession.
With the increasing popularity of fill
ings ana crowns In dental work and
the increase in all lines Of the pro-
fession, II Is estimated that the next
ten years Will see nearly $1,000, 900, Of
gold vanishing annually from the Wis
ible supply In this manner. In this
time IL is expected that another $1,000
900 worth Of filings will be buried.
The graveyards of the country Will
then be veritable gold mines AS yet
ghouls have not especially devoted
themselves to the gathering of corpses
for the gold that may be in their teeth.
but In the years to come 1t is possible
that, mining" In burying grounds in
the dead of night will become popular
among this loathsome class of Grim
inals.

LOST AT CARDS.
How HnrcOurt House, Historic Lon
don Mansion, Was GambIed Away.

don Mansion, Was GambIed Away.
From the London Mail
Conspicuous among the stately
homes of England, and especially of
London, is Harcourt House, Cav
endish Square, the one-time mag
nificent residence of the Dukes
of Portland. One night a card
party took place there. The play
ers were the present Duke of Port
lands grandfather and the Earl of
Harcourt Stakes were high and luck
went against the Duke. At last the
mansion was the stake and it became
the property of the Earl But when
the transfer came to be made 1t was
found that there were legal difficulties
in the way of alternating the house
from the estate of which II formed a
part The difficulty was gotten over by
the Duke taking a ninety years lease
from the Earl of Harcourt on favor
able terms.
The card-playing Dukes heir was
the nobleman who became notorious
as the eccentric Duke of Portland.
who built the underground palace at
Welbeck Abbey. 1t was this Duke
who erected an enormous screen of
ground glass, eighty feet high and 200
feet long on either side of the gar
den, so that the tenants of the Port
land estate on Henrietta and Wig
more streets should not be able to in
trude on his privacy. These screens
are still standing.
Coming down to later times, the
lease-hold interest i'm the house was
purchased by the Earl of Breadalbane
while the freehold interest passed into
the possession of Mr. Aubrey Har-
court. A few months ago a gentle
man, acting on behalf of a syndicate,
approached Mr.. Harcourt and Lord
Beradalbane and induced them to sell
their interests in the property. Very
soon after the signing of the contract
Mr.. Aubrey Harcourt died and the
check was handed to his uncle and
heir, Sir William Harcourt, who had
to pay the death duty which he had
himself imposed when Chancellor Of
the Exchequer.
In the meantime the postofice au-
thorities had cast eyes on that por-
ton of the property which abuts on
Wimpole street. The work of Vera
street postoffice has of late grown
enormously, owing to the activity of
the great drapery houses in the neigh
borhood, and the postoffice has bought
the whole of the Harcourt House, in
Guiding the stables and the screens.
The entrance will be on Wimpole
street.
A portion of the house itself, com
prising, among other departments, the
principal drawing room and the ball
room, are included in the scheme, and
in the near future prosaic letters will
be sorted and stamped and countless
bargains will be dealt with on a site
which for generations has been asso-
ciated with the fashionable life Of
London.

would he selected and a retrfal begun
at the term of court which opens one
week from to-day.

juror who was stricken with apoplexy
last week, was the cause of to-days
action. When the jurors illness was
reported at the opening of the court
last Saturday Justice Davis ordered an
adjournment until to-day, hoping
that Dressler would recover sufficiently
to allow continuance of the trial.
A report of his physicians, which
was made at the opening of court to-
day, that he was in no condition to re-
turn to his duties. left Justice Davis
no alternative but to discharge the
jury.

almost certain that this action would
be taken, a report went around the
court building that Miss Patterson's
counsel would make a strong effort to
have the defendant released on bail.
Their acceptance of the notice served
by the prosecution, however, seemed
to dispose of that story.
Miss Patterson appeared very de-
jected as she was led back to the
Tombs to await the beginning of the
