The story of a Royal Tooth.

During the great feast which he gave
a short time ago to celebrate the ami
yersary of Korean independence the
emperor Of Korea had the misfortune
to break a tooth. The immediate re-
suit of the accident was that the chler
cook and all his assistants were thrown
into prison to await trial for leze mai
esty.
But there happened to be a dentist
at Seoul who was travelling to see the
country. and he managed to stop the
resulting toothache without making
use of any steel instruments, which
would have frightened the emperor
and have made him refuse to submit
to the operation. The dentist received
1000 yen, or about $500, for his fee, and
then attention was turned to the pee
cant cooks. The underlings were dis
missed with q caution, but the chief
cook was sentenced to work for three
months without any pay, and the EN-
J peror at once ordered another great
feast to celebrate his recovery from
toothache. Happily for the COOK, no
more imperial teeth were broken

The Earl of Onslow tells q very ef-
fective story. His beautiful old place,
Clandon, suddenly became possessed or
ghost" and the servants OF the
place were almost terrified out of their
wits by the noises they heard and the
sights they saw or imagined. Inc
reputation of the mansion became nols-
ed abroad, and at last Lord Onslow
took a short cut to end the mystery.
He assembled his servants and gave 1t
out to them that he was determined to
have no more of this sort of thing.
For the future all members of his fam
ily would sleep with loaded reyolyers
by their side, and at the first sugges-
ton of a noise they would send bull
let in its direction to investigate the
cause. Clandon nowadays Is quite
commonplace in its immunity from
the uncanny.-London Globe.

The Eirsf Motor Cars.

From 1860 onward the problem OF
the auto car was pursued continuously
in one part Of the world or another,
n new enthusiast ever taking up the
task ere q wearied inventor had relin-
quished it. Herr Daimler's motor, In
the form in which it appeared in 1889,
may be regarded as the herald OF the
modern revival. 1t became known as
the V engine from the fact that 1t had
two cylinders set like the limbs OF that
letter. The pair of pistons were cou-
pled to q single crank, working III
closed chamber, which in the engine OF
1885 was used to supply part OF the
charge to the cylinders through valves
in the pistons, while the means OF gov
erning were also improved. The mo-
tor car movement proper, however,
dates only from 1894, when automo-
biles began to be produced such as
at least compelled serious consldera-
ton. whatever their defects. The as
tonishingly rapid strides which have
been made in the industry from that
! year to the present time are familiar
to all.-London Post.

A CHILD'S FEAT
AT LORING PARK
FAUNTLEROY FALLS INTO THE
POND AND CRAWLS ASHORE.
Nurse-maid Nearly Frantic with An
guish All for Naught-Brave Effort
of Would-be Rescucrs Wasted.

A woman's shrek, shrill and pierre
ing, rang out on the quiet of Loring
park at noon to-day. Loungers who
fastened to the bridge, whence the
cry had come, saw a nurse-maid, clad
in blue striped gown and white cap
and apron, running frantically hither
and yon, wringing her hands and
weeping copiously. A park policeman
emerged from the deep shade Of a
clump of naples, rubbing his eyes.
Dear little Fauntleroy," shrieked
the weeping nurse. Hes gone, gone.
Whatever shall I do?"
The citizens looked helpless-some
of them bored-the mothers and other
nurse-maids clutched their children
and charges closer, and the tots looked
on interestedly.
There, don't cry, young woman;
We'll find Fauntleroy for YOU" said
the policeman in kind, consoling
tone. Policeman always speak kind
ly to nurse maids, and consolingly to
those in distress.
But he fell in the lake, here from

with comforting the unfortunate
nurse-maid who continued to weep
herself into such a high pitch Of eX-
element that she became hysterical.
Then the good women did have their
hands full, so full that they didn't see
the policeman ard his companions put
out in a boat dozen yards west of
the bridge. Bending their combined
strength to the oars they pulled
| nightly, but made slow Roadway thru
| the thick water. Less than seven min
utes later they were under the bridge.
The child Fauntleroy could not be
seen.
Where is hep" shouted the po-
liceman, looking up to the bridge
Hes probably drowned, that's
where he is answered an elderly wo-
man in an angry tone. Hes had time
to drown a dozen times since you
started. You're the slowest persons l
ever saw. I just wish I were man"
All was still, save for the convulsive
sobs of the nurse-maid. Then sur
prise inexpressible was felt by all, and
the nurse maid screamed for joy when
a childish voice-little Fauntleroy's-
was heard

this summer to the boys department.. The

the greatest interest will center around

England Indignant.

The greatest indignation is felt In
England over the action of the Russian
volunteer steamer Petersburg in stopping
and searching two British steamers in
the Red Sea. The Petersburg passed
from the Black Sea through the Darda-
nelles as a mercantile steamer, under a
commercial flag, and would not have been
allowed to pass as warship. She then
mounted guns as a cruiser. Her status
at present is taken to be that of a prjya-
teer, with strong flavor Of the pirate.
Auxiliary cruisers are, of course, recog-
nized as legitimate, but not vessels which
change at will from the commercial to
the war flag. 1t is strongly felt that the
British government must resent the ac-
ton of this steamer and prevent repeti-
ton, lest dangerous precedent be Gre
ated. Already the circumstances of the
case, taken with the coniscation of the
British steamer Allanton, give rise to
undesirable comments. Why, it is ask
ed, do these incidents happen only to
British steamers and not to those of ma
tons like Germany or America, whose
governments are known to be quick to
resent interference with their subjects?

Triumnhs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back, or they may be removed en-
tirely bones are spliced pipes take the
place of diseased sections of veins anti
septic dressings are applied to wounds,
bruises, burns and like injuries before
inflammation sets in, which causes them
to heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the old treat
ment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on
this same principle. 1t is an antiseptic
and when applied osuch injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly. 1t also
allays the pain and soreness. Keep a
bottle of Pain Balm in your home and
it will save you time ana money, not to
mention the inconvenience and suffering
which such injuries entail. For sale by
