Just For ToothRche.

The blade of a digging hoe was sup ported horizontally on two bricks and a fire kindled on the ground beneath It. On the middle of the hoe was put a small heap of the seeds of a red fruited variety of eggplant, and over this was inverted the half of a cocoanut shell having a hole in the top. A piece of bamboo was stuck on to the shell over the hole by lump of clay. As vapor issued from the bamboo tube the pa tient inhaled this by placing his lips to the top. Then he spat into a bucket of water, and then again Inhaled the vapor. After quarter hours treat ment the patient and friend said they could see the ''toothache worm"i in the water.
 And here's a modern Chinese recipe for painless extractlon:"
 Cook well the bones of rat, pull verize and apply to tooth. If 1t Is fore ordained that the tooth Is to come out this will bring 1t; if not, It will become more firmly fixed than ever.-Sumatrs Straits RGS@e

THE RUSSIAN ICON.
It Is simply a Religious Picture

It Is simply a Religious Picture
 Blessed by n Priest.
 An Icon Is simply a religious picture. generally of little artistic merit and the subject usually represented Is ei- ther Russian saint, some event in the life of Jesus Christ or the Virgin Mary, In the Greek church, as in other Chris tian churches, the worship of graven images Is forbidden, but no objection Is made to anything reproduced on a fat surface. Therefore icons are per. mitted In the form of moSaics, paint mgs, enamels or prints, They play an important part in the religious life Of the Russians and are to be met with everywhere-in churches, public offices, private houses and shops. A picture to become an Icon must be blessed by a priest, and it Is then regarded not on ly as an ornament, but as an accessory In the worship of the Greek church. Icons are also worn on the person, when they take the form Of plaQne or book with two leaves. Almost ev- cry soldier wears one on his bosom, and when be prays he takes out hlS Icon and. opening It, kneels down be- fore 1t as 1T it were a portable altar. Every regiment has its own icon, which 1t carries as 1t would carry its banner when the regiment goes into battle.

THE PRICE OF A LIFE.
How It Was Fixed Under the old
 AnElO-SaSon Laws.

According to Anglo-SaNon laws, ev- cry mans life, including that of the king, was valued at a fixed price, and any one who took 1t could commute the offense by a money payment upon a fixed scale. The life Of a peasant was reckoned to bc worth 200 shilliugs, that of a man of noble birth 1900 shillingS, and the killing of king involved the regicide In a payment of 7,200 shll- Engs.
 It has been pointed out that the heir to the throne could thus get rid of the existing occupant by numbering him and thereafter handing over the fine, according to the scale, to the eXcheq- uer, when his oftense would be purged and his money would come back Co himself, for in those days the sover. eign received cu fines as personal per QuiSites. There is very little doubt that these rough means were practical, ly applied in the case of some rulers of England in the preconqucst period, - London Telegraph.

Two Edged rnnishmcnt.

An English newspaper says that a schoolmaSter was in the habit Of pun. ishinS scholars who came late to school in the morning by keeping them in in the afternoon. One who was five minutes late was kept in ten minutes and so on in proportion. One morning it chanced that the school master was half an hour late, and a ,mart boy among his pupils was not slow to remind him of the fact. I'm very sorry for being late, boys" said the schoolmaster, with twinkle in his eye, "and as punish you it's only fair that you in turn should punish me, so you will all stay and keep me in for an hour this afternoon"

PORTLAND POLITICS BITTER

The municipal electiln iu Portland Of which the present is the last week, has become very bitter. The latest sensation of the campaign, which has been,one oistartIing denouements,wss a drastic arraignment of the preachers of the city by George H. Williams, the veteran lawyer and statesman, who is the republican candidate for reelection as mayor. The ministerial association of that city has joined the civic league and brsiness mems association in their endorsement of Dr Harry Lane, the democratic nominee for mayor, In a red hot speech, Judge Williams char scterired the men of God as "a pack of liars and scoundrels," His exact Ian guage is given as follows:
 This gathering was for the purpose OI ucpOuuClu& AAS Nh e~NNNNN VI N Tanner creek sswer scandal, and in that way they have pursued me with their lies. They put out false and ly- ing circulars before the primary e ec- tiun about me and about my conduct as mayor. say they are a pack of liars and scoundrels."
 The burning words of the thoroughly aroused city executive have caused great excitement among the church people of the city.
 While the bitter quarrel, which has caused the obliterstion of party lines, has made the result of the contest ex- tremely doubtful, 1t is generally be- Heyed Mayor Williams will have ma jority when the votes shall have been counted.

THE ENCORE.
It Originated In France In the sevcn-
 teenth Century.

OFNAtnAttN hh AsA '4@N
 teenth Century.
 The beginning of the encore dates hack to some time between l64S and iToa. probably about l6S0, when Louis XIV. demanded the repetition of cer' tain parts of an opera. The opera was by Corneille, Fontenelle and Boileau' which was sung before his majesty, and the king was so pleased with cer- tain parts that he asked to have them repeated. It took fully a century for the ordinary opera goers to obtain the kings prerogative for themselves. It came about In this way; Gluck had nroduced an opera which had been a failure; but, having rewritten the worst parts, he produced it again. One or two songs were accepted by the au- dlence with applause, and one in par tlcular was demanded a second time.
 The most remarkable encores on rec ord are those which were insisted upon by the late king of Bavaria. Before he was known to be insane, when merely thought eccentric, he had plays per formed before him as the sole auditor, the curtain rising at midnight II he liked the play he insisted on having 1t repeated at once. But, unlike most en- core fiends, he paid liberally for them.
 Though our word ''encore" is adopt ed from the French, they themselves do not make use of lt in this connec- ton. They call Bis, bis" and obtain a repetition.-NewY York Herald.

A Browning Letter.

One of Browning's letters is reply to young poet who wrote asking Browning's advice about publishing a volume of poems, The reply, in part, Is as follows and may serve a useful purpose to young poets of today as well; "It sounds strange and almost sad to me that I should be imagined of authority in this kind, who for years could not get line printed ex- cept at my own expense, and I began half a century ago or more"
