CROWN OF A TOOTH.
II Is Composed of the Hardest
Known Organic Substance.

Known Organic Substance.
The crown of a human tooth is COW
cred by a brilliant white cap Of ex-
treme density, the enamel, which Is
not only the hardest tissue Of the hui
man body, consisting, as it does, of 96.5
per cent of mineral and Of 3.5 per cent
Of animal matter, but also the hardest
known organic substance.
The whole of, the friction entailed by
the masticatiOn of food falls upon the
cutting edges of our teeth, and these
are protected by an extra thickness of
enamel. SO hard is this that only in
extreme cases, in persons who live on
very hard food requiring much masti-
cation, has it been known to wear 'Off.
This enamel cap is composed of a
vast number Of microscopic rods, one
end of each of which rests upon the
dentine, and the other reaches the free
cutting surface. These rods vary in
shape and position, some being five
and others six sided, some straight and
others sinuous, but they are all arrang-
ed so that the maximum degree OF
compactness and strength is secured.

Peaceful, but Dull.

An Englishwoman with a service
able sense of humor was she who is
mentioned in a recent English book as
having aided her husband in fighting
"a good fight" The two were found
one day, in their old age, by caller,
sitting one on each side Of the fire, and
the old man said proudly:
well, t missis and me, we've beeh
married nigh on fifty year and we've
never had one quarrel"
The old woman looked up at the
visitor with a twinkle in her eye.

cook Of that name who was famous for
the quality of her wares at the close
of the eighteenth century and was con-
stantly to be seen carrying them in a
basket, morning and evening, and cry
ing them through the streets of Bath,
temptingly displayed in snow white
linen. She Is said to have kept cake
shop which became a favorite resort
for old and young in the old west coun-
try town.
Dalmer, a musical baker, bought her
recipe. made a song In praise of these
tea cakes and set 1t to music. This
soon caught on and was sung and whis-
tied as a popular air. Sally Lunns were
distributed on special barDws, and
Dalmer's fortune was assured.

suDerstitions About Cats.

There are many strange superstitions
extant about cats. When cats sneeze,
it is said. it is a sign of rain. The car
dinal point to which cat turns and
washes its face after rain shows the
direction from which the wind will
blow. When cats are snoring. foul
weather is sure to follow. Cats with
their tails up and hair apparently cleo

WILD ANIMALS.
Different Methods by which They
Are Captured.


The different methods by which vari-
Gus Wild animals are captured in their
native state are interesting. Lions are
generally caught by being tempted TO
thrust their heads through nooses of
strong cords composed Of twisted
hides. Pieces of meat are used for bait,
but frequently the hunters have many
days of hard chasing before the lion
can be persuaded to try the moose.
When he does, the cords are pulled
quickly around his throat, sitting him,
and other stout cords are bound around
his legs. Tigers are more savage than
lions and can rarely be captured when
full grown. Recruiting is accordingly
carried on among the cubs, the parent
tigers being killed and the young, left
without protectors, being easily caught.
The cubs readily accustOm themselves
TO captivity. Perhaps the most difficult
of all wild animals to capture Is the g1-
raffe. In addition to being very rare
Z CRATES are exceedingly timid and
swift footed. There is no special way
to capture a giraffe. Many different
ways have been tried, and all have
been equa4T unsuccessful. The meth
Cd which las uyc .lon&Ily resulted In
a capture is TIT Of using long cord,
at each end Of VII !! IS round weight.
This cord is thrown by tie hunter in
such a nanuer a % wind around the
animals legs, either bringing it to the
ground or rendering it incapable of es-
Gaping before it is mace prisoner.
Most of the CRATES in captivity have
been caught by chance when young.
