Il don't suppose many people stop to
think that the formation of their teeth
is an indication of their temperament, .
said a dentist the other day.
Did you ever see person with long,
narrow teeth who had not very ner-
yous, highstrung temperament? Did
you ever see a person with short, broad
teeth who was not somewhat phleg-
matte and cheerful? l often wonder
when the pretty girl opens her mouth
to show her ivory white teeth if she
realizes that some of us are sizing up
her disposition.
L unconsciously fall into the habit
of looking at the teeth of the people 1
meet socially and choosing my acquain-
tances accordingly That is one of the
reasons why false teeth ought TO be
made exactly like the original set.
They have to fit the temperament of

ONE OF THE OLD GUARD

When the Empress Eugene arrived
on Tuesday night from the Hotel Con-
tinental and stepped from the electric
coupe which had been sent to the sta
ton to meet her, tall and soldierly
old man of some seventy years stood
with barred head and saluted in mill
tary fashion, says the Paris corre-
spondent of the London Express
In the brilliant days of the second
empire the old soldier formed part of
the Empress bodyguard, and it is said
that he conceived a strong platonic love
for his sovereign, which made him the
butt of his comrades.
The Empress frequently visits the
city over which she once reigned so
brilliantly, but even the newspapers
hardly notice her comings and goings..
The old soldier, however, never fails
i'll his fidelity, and stands in one of the
corridors through which the Empress
is bound to pass, so that he may salute
his former sovereign as she passes at
the Hotel Continental. He invariably
brings magnificent bouquet of violets
or roses, which are placed in the En-
press drawing room.

A lady newly arrived in Washing

and amazed everybody by telling the
brand and vintage of a rare wine
without seeing the bottle.
How can you do it?' she was

"Oh," she replied, Il was born in
New Orleans, you know, and was
raised there. When ! was a slip of a
girl my father used to take me down
into his great wine cellar under the

her husband: Wasn't it interesting to

fathers wine cellars?"

And rumples UP my hair;
She plays among the papers which
I've just arranged with care;
She chatters. too, yet, all the same,

She spoils my pens. upsets the ink,
And makes dreadful noise;
The table that L write upon
Is covered with her toys;
Yet all the same. she is to me
The greatest of my joys.
Size shows me all her dollies. too,
And when she tumbles down,

And kiss away the frown;
Yet. all the same, she is to me

Can anybody blame?
She is a teasing PETE but, still,

THE IDEAL WOMAN.

An ideal woman. according to a
member of her sex who has devoted
considerable time to studying the
characteristics of her sisters, is not
only easy to live with. but worth liv-
ing for" says writer She wears
a reasonable hat at matinees. She is
too clever to talk of woman's rights:
she takes them. She wears frocks
that match her hair; she does not dye
her hair to match her frocks.
S4e knows that when men talk
about a woman being good looking
they mean that she is we'll dressed,
though they don't know it. She does
not insist upon her husband eating up
the cucumber sandwiches left over
from one of her parties: she eats them
herself, and suffers in silence.
She is not such fool as to fancy
that any one is ever convinced by ar
gument. She prefers loving much to
loving many. She knows that every
real woman is. the ideal woman, the
fact being that every ideal of the ideal
woman is wholly dependent on the
idealist, and every woman who is idol
lied is idealized. New York Tele-

THE LOCK SYSTEM-H. s. H. De-

is an arrangement that consists of two
pairs of gates. opening upon the

above only tends to close the gates still
tighter. When a vessel is to be

as the case may be. These sluices are
worked by racks in the gates and the
pcnderous gates themselves are moved
with the aid of long and heavy levers.
One pair of gates must always be shut
or the two reaches would speedily as
simlate their levels. The system is ex-
tensively used in Holland, in Italy and
