Teeth and Temperament.

Il don't suppose many people stop
to think that the formation of their
teeth is an indication of their temper
ament." said dentist the other day.
did you ever see u person with
long, narrow teeth who had not a very
nervous, high-strung temperament?
lid you ever see person with short,
broad teeth who was not somewhat
phlegmatic and cheerful? I often
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.
Il unconsciously fall into the habit
of looking at the teeth of the people
meet socially and choosing my ac-
quaintances accordingly. This is one
of the reasons why false teeth ought
to be made exactly like the original
set. They have to fit the tempera-
Me4t of the wearer." -Philadelphia

victim Of his majesty's etiquette
craze.
Dining the other evening to meet
the king. Mr.. Greville wore a white

and Lord Revelstoke, tried to treat the
affair In bantering sMrit.

In the engineering and construction de-

PENNSY PAYS CLAIMS
Settles Quickly With Victims or Wreck
Policy Is To Get As Many As Pos
sibIe To Sign Off And Thus
Avoid Suits

According to adviccs from Harrisburg.
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company Is
breaking records in settling claims
against it as a result of the wreck there
last Thursday. A letter from one of the
men who was in the wreck. but was I'M
injured, states that on the day of the
accident agents of the Company were IN
Harrisburg settling claims against the
railroad. This shows it to he the policy
of the big railroad to settle claims as
soon as possible after accidents, and
thus avoid damage suits, which gener-
ally take months to settle in the courts.
BY noon on the day of the accident, ac-
cordng to n man who was in Harris
burg. the Company had already sue
ceeded in settling a number of claims.
One man who was badly cut up and had
his arm injured compromised with the
Company for a new outfit Of clothing
and $50. signing off all claim on the cor
poration. Another man, who had been
slightly injured, got $75 and about S2I5
worth of clothing. He was perfectly sat
isfied. A third man, who had his head
cut, one hand badly burned and his foot
sprained, got new outfit of clothing,

strikers, who now number nearly 220.-
OoD, are simply awaiting the influence
of public opinion OH the coal mine pro-

disturbances are reported. Drafts of
police from other parts of Prussia con-
tinue to arrive in the strike district.
Considerable qualities of coal from
Belgium France and Great Britain are
coming in.
A general cessation of the coal using

are arriving here and elsewhere in the
district. among them being representa-

Jack Sheppard had great hold upon
the imagination of the people of his
time. The fact that 100000 people wit
messed his execution at Tyburn on
Nov. Is, 1924, upon the tree that bears
twelve times a yeare" is some witness
to his grim popularity. But one Of the
strangest tributes ever paid him was
the sermon preached upon him in a
London church.
"Oh, that We were all like Jack Shop
pardv' began the preacher. to the stu
pefactiOn of his congregation. He went
on to draw a parallel between things
Of the flesh and those of the soul and
to point out that the genius shown in
HOUSEKEEPING might have been be-
slowed upon picking the locks of the
heart with the nail of repentance"
