MUNICIPAL DENTISTS.

The latest in municiple activity inc Europe is the city dentist. United States Consul Liefeid, of Freiburg, Ge- many, reports that dental statistics gather in many European cities have revealed such an alarming condition that Germany has desided to adopt cumulative measures. Tn all large towns dental clinics have been founded, con- sfsting as la rule of rooms in one of the central schools
 Fully qualified dentists are appointed bgut in Stuttgart the work is done vo- luntarily by the local dentists. Of many thousands of boys and girls examined, from the age of eight to thirteen, only ? ped cent, had perfect healthy set of teeth. During the year 1903 in Darn- stadtt 1876 children were examined and 1,561 teeth were filled while .1.871 were extracted. In Strassburga 2,666 children were examed, 699 teeth were filled and 2,912 were extracted.
 Forty per cent, of all teeth examined were bad. The method of work is very simple The teacher brings his class to the dentist. who examines each mouth quickly end marks on a card which each child has brought whether treat- nent is necessary. If so the child must come again on Saturday.
 Russia Is also joining in the move- ment, and has already fitted up nine such institutions in St. Petersburg a. lone.

FEEDING THE HARVEST HANDS.

Harvest is not an unrlllxed pleasure to the western household. By the time it's duties have been apportioned, the housewife doubts if the comfort of an extra dress thet coming winter will off set the presence of a. hungry horde of workers. But it is no ta choice; tits a necessity. Inpreparati on for this event, Mrs. Mangold has been buying sacks of flour, slabs Of bacon, pails of fish, pecks of beans, dozens of pack ages oe breakfast food, and boxes of canned tomatoes.

GREAT SALT LAKE.

Obtaining InfOrmat sn From Data Col
 Iected by Railway Men.
 San Francisco. (Special.)-Paris and Lcndon scientists who are interested In the subject are obtaining from the Southern Pacific officials all the da- ta they have collected since the com pletion of the Central Pacific Railroad, ti,irty-five years ago. about the grad ual drying up of the Great Salt Lake, Collecting facts on that subject was a hobby of Senator Leland Stanford. and the information gathered by him and since his death in 1893 by others in the railroad conclusively proves that the drying-up process is rapidly going on.
 From the data 1t appears that the lake has been receding steadily since 1875. Tn the sixteen years between 1888 and 1902 there has been a tota fall of about twelve feet. Proportion. ately the fall in the level of the lake during the past three years has been much greater. and at the present rate the lake will dry up within forty years and become a dry. extensive bed Of salt The large diversion of water from streams emptyinR into the lake for purposes of irrigation, together with constant evaporation, Is, of course the simple explanation of why this unique body of salt water. about $500 feet in altitude and HOO miles inland frcm the shores of the Pacific Ocean, will, in a few years. be thing of the past.

"Eighty-five dollars, madam" On the whole, these new waists are more trou- ble to make than last years for they finished off with belt of velvet A waist meant to wear over the skirt costs more by $10 or $15 than the most elaborate unlined or loosely lined blouse but is 1t worth the difference? The boned waist makes one often look stiff, and a pretty little net blouse over a loose china silk foundation can be confined into a wide silk boned belt which will sufficiently accentuate the figure A fine and yet strong net app1i- qued with a new figures of lace when made over china silk Is infinitely superior to any other waist In wearing power and all round good service. The silk waist is rapidly giving way to the soft, fluffy chiffon. all over lace or net.
 Oh, l knew there was something was forgetting to tell you. Don't buy any crushed velvet. It Is now being marked down in New York shops as low as 79 cents a yard. It has not proved at all popular with our leaders of fashion. and 1t will probably be re- legated to oblivion in a few months. And why not? It certainly looks like old fashioned furniture coverings.
 And now. think. after giving you this piece of advice.-I shall leave you to think 1t over. But, mind, If you feel you can afford to have a good velvet gown buy chiffon velvet. It is almost the only velvet which is con- sidered smart nowadays.

years. Is made to last thirty years or more This result Is obtained by im- pregnating 1t with creosote oil.
 Other preservative materials are in experimental use in this country but ncne gives more promising results in the increased length of service secured. At present most of the creosote oil for this purpose is being obtained from Eu- rCrean sources. Quantities sufficient for our use are produced in this coun- try, but the grades are so many and, for the most part, so inferior that they are but little used.
 About 1000 samples of this oil. both native and Furopean. have been test ed by the Bureau to determine what grade gives the best results. This in wolves finding out the grade of oil which both most readily enters the wood and also stays in the longest time. The first will hasten and cheapen the process. the second will insure the greater permanence of the treatment.
 The necessity for wood preservative treatment is beyond the theoretical stage. It Is a question of recognized and vital importance. especially to the ra ailroads and telegraph and telephone companies. whose bills for constant re- newal of ties and poles are enormous The oil tests the bureau is making are therefore of large and immediate prac- tical value.

EXCITING BATTLE
IN WHICH DANISH SCHOONER WAS
 SUFFERER.

 graphic account has reached Liver- pool of an encounter in the North; At- ianttc ocean with huge sperm whale. as result of which the Danish scheon- CT Anna, was wrecked and had te be abandoned by the crew. who were -res- cued in an exhausted condition.
 The Anna was making tine yage from Iceland to New Bruns wick. and was about twenty days out whea on the afternon of September 2S, a whaio was seen spouting some distance in the offing. Shortly afterward moro spouts were shot upward within few hundred feet of the vessel. and the whale seemed to be angrlly moving in a circle.
 As the Anna sailed slowly past at q speed of about four and a half knots. her crew could easily discern the man. oeuvres of the monster, which lashed the water furiously with its tail sud- denly 1t made dash for the ship.
 It came full tilt at q tremendous speed. and struck the vessel amidsha ps with it's head. There was a tremend Jus crash. and some of the crew were thrown off their feet. A hole was stove in the side of the ship below the water line, and the stem of the vessel was broken. The whale. however. had received its coup de grace. Its colos- sal carcass rose slowly to the surface of the water, revealing two big gashes In its head and side, and from its wounds blood poured profusely dying the wa ter all around.
 The vessel began to leak and all hands were placed at the pumps. bat as the weather grew worse the ship com menced to sink. After thirty mine hours of continuous exertion 1t was de- cided to abandon the Anna. A lifeboat was provisioned and manned, and was on the point ot being launched when 1t was noticed by the Johnston liner Quernmore.
 It was early in the morning, and a gale was blowing but after several gallant attempts on the part of the crew of the Johnston liner, the "whal- CTS" were transferred to the ouern- more.

TO Many Moods.

A clever girl friend of mine is giving as a Christmas present a series or six views of her summer vacation. They show her fishing. bathing, riding on horseback. playing golf and at the piano in evening dress. It makes very attractive set, and every one of them was taken by friend who had a camera: therefore the expense was slight. Perhaps the way in which they are framed is the most attractive thing about them. They are placed one below the other in connecting frames of black wood.
 A particularly tactful and even less expensIve Christmas present was a scrapbook presented last year to an in valid It contained a number of her favorite poems and stories clipped from old books and magazines. Another "shut in" was made glad by an opti- mist's daily calendar on separate sheets. each sheet having a cheerful motto lettered neatly in water color be- low the date. so each day the invalid could look at fresh words of cheer. After all, it is the spirit and not the gift that counts. For my part, tell you right now that would infinitely rathar have an inexDensiye gift which

Pictures as Presents.


 By the way, speaking of pictures, l wonder some of you don't choose to make that sort of a Christmas present The day Is past when In order to be ar tistic picture had to cost great deal of money. The chromo or ungodly memory has disappeared, and with 1t all crudeness. Prints on gray paper charcoal sketches. pen and ink repro auctions, all are tastefully executed and simply and appropriately framed at a very low cost. I am glad to see that the colored photograph. the successor of the chromo. has also gone the way of gaudy things. The inexpensive pie lures now on sale do not offend against good taste, because they do not try to usurp the place of oil paintings and are simple and unassuming In treat ment. Nothing can be prettier than the gray prints on gray paper, the mo notony of the whole being relieved by a single splash of color. For instance. one scene represents a chalet on the mountain side in Switzerland. Out of the grayness of twilight among the pines flashes broad band of orange light from the chalet window. The al most universal gray tons of the pictur" is further carried out by the narrow gray wood fr4.ne. Now, can anything be more artistic or in better taste than these gray prints?
 Another represents moonrise on the waters. The gray swell of the ocean In this case has reflected in 1t the bluish green of the moonlight.
 A very acceptable and by no means expensive gift is a picture Of yourself in one of the little oval gilt frames which cost 50 little nowadays. Pho tographers are taking piotures In the regular oval size with special view to framing. If you want to buy more expensive frame choose one with a mat of tapes- trv or brocade and have the metal work of dull gold.
