lin the political economy Of nations
the toothbrush is of much more 1mpor-
lance than the sword, and tooth pow
der is infinitely more important than
gunpowder." III ssfFfIs
So writes Mrs. John Lane In the
Fortnightly Review, in the course Of q
plea, both amusing and very senstble,
for greater care of the teeth than is
customary In this country.
The English have not the habit of
going to the dentist: money paid to
him they consider wasted-there Is
nothing to show for it. ss3,&l
They still have teeth out rather than
stopped (filled) as being cheaper, and
when they are all out they replace
them on too slight provocation by
what American humor calls .store
teeth" .z%t$
Nor are the English supersensitive,
and their complacency, which upholds
them in more important things, in
clines them to believe that IL their IA

If, as It is. said, bad teeth are
sign of the degeneracy Of race, then
are the sturdy English In : very
bad way. s,s.ss .,+S
The English, Mrs. Lane points out,
used to be always caricatured on the
continent as possessing very promi-
nent front teeth. Now they often
have no front teeth ut all.
And the worst Of it is they do not
seem to mind. 81
IF I were one of the powers that
be" concludes Mrs. Lane, II should
require all board schools to furnish
their pupils with toothbrushes and
tooth powder, and I would open the
morning session with general brush
ing of the teeth. Not only that, but
would have a dentist attached to
each school district whose duty it
would be to attend to tho children's
teeth free of charge"

stock covered with notches represent
ing deer and the smaller game that have
fallen to his deadly aim. His latest
exploit is the bagging of q panther
measuring IL feet from tip to tip.
Young Hill was out on the range and
came across the carcass of two-year-
old steer that had been killed and
partly devoured by some animal, and,
not knowing what it was, he returned
to the house for help. Finding everybody
gone, he called his dogs and started out,
and after several hours chase he sue
ceeded in freeing the animal.
He was walking around under q
tree trying to get chance for shot
the panther sprang at him, knocking
him down, and a hand-to-hand fight en-
sued. The interference of the dogs en-
abled the boy to regain his gun, and he
succeeded in putting shot into the vital
spot, dispatching the panther. q
} As the animal was too big for him to
handle, he cut some brush on which he
rolled the carcass, and. attaching this
crude litter to- his horse, proceeded
homeward in triumph. The panther is
the largest specimen ever killed in the
county, and had been preying on stock
in neighboring ranches for several
months. 49,, %@. ;. = w. =.

WORLDS SMALLEST ENGINE
Rests Entirely on a Five-Cent Piece
Owned by an Indiana
Jeweler.

Muncie, Ind.-The smallest station
ary engine In the world, IS far. as its
maker can learn, rests entirely on
flve-cent piece. It is owned and was
made by John H. CUNNINGHAM. jew
eler Of Eaton, which is a small town
ten miles north of Muncie. Cunning
ham has q fad for making miniature
machinery.
The little engine operates at q re-
markable rate of speed under pound
of steam. So small are some Of the
parts that magnifying glass is neces-
sary to make proper examination OF
them. The screws that hold the parts
together are made from needles, the
threads being so fine as to defy the
naked eye. The screws are fraction
of q millipeter in diameter. The fly
wheel measures about three-eighths OF
an inch in diameter. It was turned
from steel by Cunningham, who says
it is the largest wheel that the engine
will turn.
The engine has one-sixteenth of an
inch stroke; the cylinder head meas
ures one-eighth Of an inch in diameter,
while the capped cylinder head meas.
ures fourth of an inch. The striking
boxes are packed with lint scraped
from silk thread, cotton being too
coarse for the purpose.
Cunningham cannot estimate the
power Of the little continuance whose
steam is generated in boiler made
from hand bicycle pump and heated
by gas jet. The engine thus far has
never been able to overcome greater
resistance than that furnished by tho
fly wheel.
= The engine was first built on a Ave-
cent piece and Cunningham. has now
mounted the coin and engine on a
small stand. The piping for the en-
CINE is small copper wire drilled out
in the center and running to the boiler,
which is several times the size and
weight of the engine.

CATTLE TRADER CHARGED
WITH GIVING BAD CHECKS
Prisoner Asserts He Is UnjustIy
Accused and Friends Make
Liqht of Arrest

Upon receipt of telegram from San
Luis Obispo county, Deputy Sheriff
Bert Franklin yesterday placed under
arrest John Gaines, a Los Angeles
cattle trader.
The arrest arises from certain busi-
ness transactions between Gaines and
A. w. Black OF San Luis Obispo who
is employed in the capacity of foreman
by a wealthy cattle owner named
Reace who owns the Rancho San Mar
guerita, thirty miles north of San Luis
Obispo.
After his arrest yesterday Gaines en-
ployed Attorney Valentine Newby, who
will represent him in his present diff
Guilty at San Luis Obispo.
Gaines deals in cattle extensively and
IS well known in Southern California,
and his friends refuse to take his pres
ent difficulty seriously.
In purchasing the cattle from Black
Gaines gave in return his checks
amounting in the aggregate to nearly
$4,000.
He says he told Black at the time
the purchase was made that he did not
have funds on deposit, and that writ
ten agreement to that effect was en-
tered into between them.
Furthermore Gaines declares Black
agreed in writing that he would not
consider two checks turned over to him
for $4,000 each as evidence of any money
deposit.
Gaines says 1t was understood be-
tween them at the time the deal was
made that he would notify Black of his
action when the money was placed on
deposit to meet the payment of the de-
mands against him.
The checks became due about two
weeks ago. during all of which time
Gaines says he has been engaged in
good faith in his business affairs in
Los Angeles.
He is well known here and his arrest
yesterday was unexpected.

Of imposing a tax on carpenters is to
be considered. Members of the trade
are considerably agitated over the
matter. and the following is the text
of a remonstrance which they will
offer as sufficient reason for letting the
matter drop:

dersigned carpenters and citizens ol
Santa Monica, being informed that q
petition has been presented to youl
body asking that a license be imposed
