Animal Having the Most Teeth.

The animal having the most teeth Is
the great armadillo Of south Central
and northern South America. 1t is q
fact well known to most people that
the normal or average number Of teeth
In mammals is thirty -two-siXteen
above and the same number below.
The great armadillo, however, is an ex-
ception, having from 02 to 100. He has
from twenty-four to twenty-six III each
side Of the upper jaw anu from ,-snty
two to twenty-four in each side Of the
lower jaw. Another popularity lies in
the fact that they are all molars or
grinders. They increase in size from
front to back, instead Of from the root,
and are wholly destitute Of enamel.

Russian Discipline.

General Dragomiroff, the Russian
military expert, rose from the ranks
and always dressed according to the
army regulations for the common SOL
dier. One day while driving about St.
Petersburg in his carriage he noticed
soldier with hair longer than the reg
ulations called for. He had the horses
stopped, alighted and, taking off his
hat, ordered the soldier to seize him
by the hair. The soldier heSitated. He
feared to lay violent hands on his gen-
eral; besides, the hair was clipped too
close to afford hold for the hands.
The general surveyed the soldier stern
ly for few moments, then, twining
his fingers in the latter's locks, he lit
orally wiped up the street with him,
the victim not daring to resist Final
ly, having impressed the lesson thor
oughly, he re-cntercd his carriage and
drove on, ordering the soldier to fol-
low. At the first barber's shop they
came to he again alighted and had ev-
cry restige of hair shaved from the
soldiers head, then turned him loose
as horrible example to his fellows.

King james, Books.

Some very fine binding was executed
for King James l., who during his en-
tire life was an enthusiastic patron Of
letters and art. In some of his books
the thistle is introduced with heavy
corner pieces, and the arms in the cen
ter. One fine piece of work, now in the
British museum, is in bright brown
calf, powdered with flower-de-luce
Another folio in crimson velvet has the
arms Of England embroidered on both
sides with gold thread on ground
work of yellow silk. The kings initials
are worked above. The lettering is In
leather, and the boards are tied to-
Sethcr by red ribbon, constituting q
regal book in every particular. John
Gibson, in Scotland, and the Barkers,
In England, were appointed to be the
kings binders, but there Is little trace
of their work now extant.

statute of Henry VIII. were expelled
from England in 1880. This not prov

Jury ShbI,fnn.

Mexico has an ingenious plan for IA
cilitatlng verdicts in jury trials. Two
supernumerary jurors arc drawn to
sit near the jury box and listen to the
evidence and arguments. If any Of the
regular jury falls i'll or is otherwise
disqualified from going ON, one of the
"supes" takes his place. In this way
they avoid what is often seen In Amer
lean courts-a long trial rendered USE
less when it is nearly finished by the
sudden illness or death of one Juror.

ALL "GENTLEMEN" IN AMERICA.

Mans Own Fault if He Does Not De-
serve the Title.
Neither poor " n nor a rich man
is or can be "a gentleman in Amerl-
ca, in the sense Of the terms as use l
in a monarchical country Or under an
aristocratic system Of society, says the
New York Sun. The word gentle
man is unknown in our law. In the
sense of expressing moral qualities,
the only sense in which it can be used
here, the term "gentleman' applies,
Of course, to every man entitled lntrln'
sically to receive it as a designation
of courtesy; but even in that usage it
is term so vague and indefInable
that it is not worth talking about. 1t
may be said, however, never to apply
properly to any American who boasts
of being a ''gentleman' because OF any
accident Of his mere material clrcum-
stances, or to any American who is
troubled in mind lest, on account OF
them, he should not receive the title.
If anybody in America is not gentle
