Three lines a Day

William Cotton, the Baltimore
lawyer, recently told jury in
the Court of Common Please the
following story to illustrate the
similarity of the testimony OF
medical experts called as witness
es against his client:
A visitor to New York some
years ago went to the church of
Rev. Henry Ward Beeeher one
Sunday morning for the purpose
of hearing that eloquent divine
who was then in his prime. It
happened, however, that Mr..
Beecher did not preach, and the
clergyman who filled his pulpit
took for his text, aAnd Peters
wife's mother lay sick with !
fever. Although disappointed
because Mr. Beecher did not
preach, the stranger remained
and enjoyed the sermon.
On the afternoon of the same
day the visitor decided to attend
DR.. John Halls church to hear
that eminent clergyman. To his
surprise the preacher he had
heard In the morning assembled
the pulpit and announced that he
would conduct the service in the
absence of DR.. Hall. Then the
text was announced as "And
Peters wife's mother lay sick
with fever" Patiently did the
visitor listen to the sermon
again.
Still desirous of hearing one of
the celebrated preachers of that
day, the stranger wended his way
at night to the Tabernacle of
Rev. T. Dewitt 'Talmage, in
Brooklyn. There was no escape
for him when the clergyman he
had heard twice before the same
day arose in the pulpit and an
nounced that he would oficiate
in the absence of DR.. Talmage
and then announced his text as
"And Peters wife's mother lay
sick with fever For the third
time that day the visitor sat
through the sermon.
Returning to his hotel in New
York the stranger heard a num-
Der of bells ringing. 1t happen
ed that someone else, as Ignorant
as he ofthe cause. stopped him
and inquired the cause of the
bells.
"1really don't know" he re.
piled, but it may be that Peters
wife's mother is dead. 1 heard
several times to-day that she was
sick with fever

Cuts Alphabet On Sin
gle Pin Head.

1t has remained for one of
Uncle Sans experts in the Blu
reau of Engraving and Printing
to perform what is probably one
of the most remarkable and diff
cult feats of. engraving ever ac-
complished.
Not SO very long ago it was
believed that the man who first
engraved the Lords Prayer on
the back of a one-dollar gold
piece had about reached the limit
in the matter of wonderful feats
with the engraver's tools. Then
about year ago a Philadelphia
bank-note expert engraved the
entire alphabet of 26 letters on
the head of a large pin. This
delicate bit of work won consider
able fame for the man who did
it, says the Washington Star.
Now, however, Clarence K.
Young has accomplished the
seemingly impossible feat of en-
craving two full alphabets, date
and name on theshead of . tiny.
pin only sixty-ffve one thousand
this of an inch in diameter.
Last faN Mr.. Young aud an-
other expert in the bureau had a
friendly dispute as to just the
amount of delicate work that an
engraver could do. Finally a
wager was made, and Mr.. Young
started in to make good his as
lsertion. In about a week, work
ing now and then for about fif-
teen minutes at time, he had
accomplished the task, and true
to his statement, found room
enough left on the pinhead to add
his name.
To the naked eye the pinhead
bearing the double alphabet, the
date and the name looks but little
different from an ordinary PIN
head. It's surface is trife rough,
and that is all. Even with an
ordinary magnifying glass very
little can be seen. The outlines
of the letters are BUNDLED and
the snrface of the pinhead sim
ply appears to be badly scratched.
But with a powerful glass the
letters stand out by themselves
distinct and separate.
Some twenty persons were
seriously injured in New York
city June 1S, by the blowing up
ofa monster steam boiler in the
compressed air plant of the Sub
way Construction company at
l6lst Street and the North River.
A twenty-ton section of the big
boiler was hurled 900 feet from
the plant, which was swept alb
solutely off its site by the explo-
sion, and ripped down trees on a
terrace $50 feet up high where
crowds of women and children
were eating luncheon

How To Have Pretty
Teeth.

Don't bestow less care upon
the teeth than upon complexion
and hair.
Don't brush across the teeth,
but up and down; the upper
teeth from the gums downward,
and the lower teeth from the
gums upward.
Don't go to bed without brush
ing the teeth, for it is at night
that the acid of the saliva gets in
its work on the teeth.
Don't let the tartar accumulate
on the teeth, for it brings whole
train of evils in is wake. Have
it removed by dentist at least
once year.
Don't use tooth powder
which contains gritty acid or ir-
ritating substances.
Don't fail to rinse the teeth
thoroughly with an alkaline
wash after taking acids, such as
lemon juice, vinegar or strong
medicines.
Don't swallow food without
masticatlon. Modern cookery,
by making mastication almost
unnecessary, is responsible for
much decay of the teeth.
Don't crack nuts or bite thread
with the teeth.
Don't fail to ponder occasion
ally on these facts; that:
Without good teeth there can
not be thorough masticatlon
Without thorough mastication
here cannot be perfect digestion.
Without perfect digestion there
cannot be proper assimilation.
Without proper assimilation
there cannot be nutrition.
Without nutrition there cannot
be health.
Without health what is life
worth?
Hence, the paramount impor-
tance of good teeth.

The Penny Dreadful.

The Pennsylvania railroad has
taken a stand against the dime nov
el, and. so far as the news agents
on that road are ct ncerned, the
cheap detective story of crime is a
thing of the past Orders have
been issued that they are no longer
to be bundled upon Pennsylvania
trains Whether the edict will have
any appreoiable effect upon the
sales of the penny dreadfuls, and
whether or not the smount of orime
will be materially reduced, is a mat
ter for discussion; but that the
cheap story of crime tends to fs-
miliarizs the young with criminal
methods, makes a career of crime
attractive will not be denied. The
step taken by the Pennsylvania
road is d step in the right direction.
The dignified and homely bald
headed eagle. the emblem of our
country, mates but once and lives
with his mate until he or she dieF.
If left widower-e even a young
widower-he never mates again.
He remains alone in the nest that
formed his home, and no other
female eagle can tempt him TO
forsake his disconsolated life. 1t
is very evident that the American
people do not live up to the ideal
of their emblem.
