New Ways to Whiten Teeth.

Up-to-date dentists have several
new wrinkles for whitening and pol
ishing the teeth.
One of these is to first dip the brush
into salty water and then apply the
powder, which should be of the finest
quality After three or four minutes
brushing rub a little dry salt over the
teeth, and in time they will become
perceptibly whittier. If you want to
have teeth like polished ivory, take a
piece of channels skin. dip it in lemon
juice and rub the teeth until they are
hot to the touch

While gloomed above. in glorious gall

Across the waters flung its beckoning

a TALE WITH d MORAL.


Twas gloomy glade mid the lowering
Of a forest dank and dark;
ana every decent creature slept
For the gray of dawn hao' scarcely crept
Ger the morning sky. But bark
Amid the silence there may be heard
Inc drowsy chirp of the Early Bird
Lo. a twig that lies beneath his eyes
or sudden appears squirmi
And there comes from under his very
feet
A faint fne sound that 1 can't repeat
The voice of the Early Wormi
And the glade is stiller than still can be-
At thought of the coming tragedy.
1T is up to me- sobbed the worm, ito
flee.
Were i not such a sleepy thing"
But the biro was wobbly on his feet
i am far too drowsy." he sighed. Ito
And his head fell under his wing
And sweetly mingled, there soon were
heard
The SHORES of the worm and the early
bird.

HlAMPToN-RUBY.

@
 A Very Pretty Wedding in Milford.
 A very pretty wedding occurred Wednesday afternoon in Milford when Miss Sara E. Ruby, daughter of MT. and Mrs Alberta Ruby of Bridgeport, was united in marriage to Edward R. Hampton, also of Bridgeport, at the home of her sister Mrs. orland V. Smith of River street.
 The house was very handsomely dec- orated. The wedding took place in the east room, and the ceremony was per- formed by Rev John Brown, rector of Christ church, Bridgeport. Nearly 100 guests were present, nearly all of whom were from Bridgeport. After the cere. rnony wedding feast was prepared by the host and hostess, during which time Sansome's orchestra furnished music, MT. and Mrs. Hampton left on a wed- ding trip to Washington, D. O., and other points of interest. On their re- turn they will reside in Bridgeport.
 The list of presents was very large and consisted Q. GU! glass, china and silverware of all kinds.
 The groom is the assistant manager of the Bridgeport Paper Box company, and both Mi. and Mrs. Hampton are society eavorites in the Park City.

to find a single one. The fair Aus trian, may mention, was got up like the short skirted Tyrolese peasant girl of the opera, and presented very pict- uresque and sporting appearance. She too, had killed her lions. that is, some of the nine. a--=-...4s
 More, then, cannot say about the King of the Forest except that the authorities want their lions killed and that the sportsman must, when he arr rives in the country, makes inquiries about the localities where lions have most recently been seen or are most likely to be found. Thus on the day that we returned to the coast we were told at small station named Simba1 which being interpreted means lion, that five lions had just been seen in the vicinity, and that if there was any sportsman in the train who was anxious to kill lion he had better stop and go after them at once. It is, by the way, in the same neighborhood, mot much more than 200 miles from Mombassa, that 'rhines' can often be seen from the train.
 This place has, however, the dis advantage of being visited more often than others by Mombassa sportsmen, including naval officers from any of the men-of-war anchored in the har- Dor, in view of it's being within easy compass of a week end trip. And the game, especially, of course, antelopes and gazelles, Is correspondingly shy. On the other hand, in many places the animals are too easily approached, and except for the zest which accompanies desire to obtain record horns, most of the antelope shooting is somewhat tame sport, as may be inferred from the name head hunting. which is given to it locally"

Little Johnny Jones" was the prime favorite jockey at the English Derby, but his brilliant ascent up the ladder of fame was stopped by the charge that he threw the race. "Litt1e Johnny Jones' was likewise a hot favorite at the Hyperion last night, but contrary to his racing experience he was boost- ed a little further up the ladder by a large audience. The funny Geo. M Conan and his brilliant company of en- tertainers held the boards with as bright a musical play as has been given here in some time. There were many curtain calls.

 As Senator Towne arose to commence ls address there was loud applaust. liter expressing his satisfaction at be- hg in the beautiful City of Films, and aving chance to address a New Ha- en audience, he read a letter which ad been written to him by John j.

oN THE SAFETY OF ovEREArrNG.
The Rule of Choosing the Lesser of Two Evils Applies to the Way You Eat.

t
 want to know how aman Is to know when he has had enough?
 The Pilgrim Fathers, I believe, had q quaint saying to the effect that you should always rise from the table feel-s ing as If you could eat some more.
 But the question is, how much more?
 Just when to stop?
 That is the point.
 The rule is wrong, because it's no rule. at all
 It Is inexact, and unscientiffc.
 It Is likely to lead to the dangerous habit of eating too little.
 And eating too little, or digesting too llttle, which amounts to the same thing. is the cause of nine-tenths of the diseases from which humanity suffers to-day.
 What is disease?
 It is simply uneven balance between waste and repair.
 Some organ lacks strength to carry on the special work for which 1t was created.
 Where shall 1t find the strength 1t lacks? In drugs? Ten thousand times NO! Better die than become hopeless drug fiend. No; in food.
 But" you say T eat plenty of good food every day. True dear friend; but you don't di- gest 1t. And food, undigested. is mere poison. So, to make food do you good, you must take stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 The great thing about Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets is, that their action does not depend upon stimulative drug gerry. They cannot create habit.
 They contain no ingredients to pick you up, tone up your nervous sys- tenn, or furnish whip energy, by call- ing out your vital reserve force. They create new strength, force and energy-out of your food.
 If taken starving, they will do you no good at all.
 So, eat to live, and live to eat, with stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 The curse of our present civilization is exhaustion.
 And exhaustion, whether of brain, nerves, physical strength or vital force, is caused by starvation. Of two evils, it is better to overeat (and prevent indigestion with Stuart $ l Dyspepsia Tablets}, than to rise fron, the table not having eaten enough to repair the exhaustion of your vital 1 forces. | For exhaustion or starvation leads to the most varied forms. of sickness or l disease, brought on by inability of the l weakened vitality to counteract the l disease -poisons or microbes. Whereas the well fed and well nour- ished person, without ever feeling the worse for it, can expose himself to dan l gers, the mere thought of which would drive the weak, starving dyspeptic in l to panic fit. | Good food, well digested, is the great secret of a healthful existence. here on l earth.
 So, eat heartily every day of the best | food you can get, and regulate working l of your digestive machinery with Stu. arts Dyspepsia Tablets.
 As a result you will be astonished to find how much stronger and liveliel you feel, how much more and better work you can do, how much more l pleasure, you will get out of life, and how your old enemy, that chronic trouble, which has fastened upon youl I weak spot, wherever it is,. will up and away, and ever after leave you ir peace, health and comfort. ] There is more truth than poetry ir 4 all this.
