One Cause of Eve Disease.

A Scotch surgeon recently called at
tention to the connection between an
uncared for mouth with carlous teeth
and Z form of eye disease. He de-
scrlbes three cases, in each of which
the teeth were in very bad condition.
The gums were soft and spongy, bleed
ing easily, while tiny drops of pus could
be pressed out from their margins. The
breath had a our smell, and the COM
plexlon was Of a muddy, sallow tint.
In caring for these cases the first step
was to purify the mouth and put the
teeth into good condition. Such pro-
cedure, together with suitable tonics
and local eye treatment, brought about
a perfect recovery. This Is only one
example of the serious nature Of dental
diseases.

LABRADOR.
Its Fascinating Procession Of CoIos-

saI, Fnntnstfc Icebergs.
1t is the icebergs that make Labrador
fascinating. They greet you when you

st. Lawrence, and head northward up
the coast of Labrador. They come
floating from the north, an endless pro-
cesslon, all shapes, fantastic, colossal,
~statuesque, I'VE g~rotesque-a magnif-
cent assemblage of crystal domes and
turrets and marble fortresses. Your
steamer picks its way carefully among
them lest they be jealous of her intru-
sion and fall over upon her. And in
the midst Of this glorious company you
come to Battle Harbor.
The settlement is on an island per-
haps POO yards In diameter, which Is
the outpost of a larger island. and
plows the waves of the ocean like the
PROV Of some gigantic ocean liner. In
storms the spray leaps almost across
its ledgy surface. 4 cove hides behind
the bluff sea wall, and on its rim nes-
ties Il tiny village of whitewashed cot
tages. You climb the hill to the look
out. Away to the north and south
spreads out the vast procession of the
iccbergs. They come out of the north,
the fog surrounding their tops and
streaming ike smoke from their pin
nacles. They move slowly southwark,
perhaps three or four miles Il day.
Some go directly south down the New
foundland coast, some turn west as
they approach the strait and are swept
by the tide into the gulf of st. Law.

Day by day from the hilltop you tote
their slow progress. Each day sees
new forms emerging on the northern
horizon, while old, familiar bulks are
lost to view in the south. Each months
~icebergs are natives of Il more northern
region. Hence the bergs of the late
summer, though fewer in number, are
individually larger than those of the

June's icebergs are Labrador's own
product and have broken off from the

August are natives of Kane bay and
the far northern rim of Greenland,

JACKSON NOT POOR.
The Great Statesman Had Very Many
Early Advantages.

Verify we must abandon the belief
that Andrew Jackson belonged to the
class of American youths who rode to
fame and fortune by their own efforts,
unaided by the help Of family and
friends.
Never did he taste the bitter cup of
physical want, of hunger and cold, of
helpless, spirit breaking poverty.
Never vas he without home and loyal
friends and a sufiiciency of the com
forts of life. Never was it his lot to
suffer that humiliation, that mortif-
cation, that inward bleeding wound
which the proud nature writhes under
when there is no money in the pocket,
no change of clothing for the body, no
welcome light in any window in all
the world as the harassed day draws
to its end and the wretched night
comes on.
Poverty. Why, Andrew Jackson
never in his whole life had a genuine
taste of what the cruel word really
means.
Few men have been more greatly in
debted to the intelligent affection Of n
self sacrificing mother. Few sons Of
poor parents have had such advan-
tages as were his lot, and few lads Of
poor parents did such a scanty amount
Of manual labor. Compared to the
rugged, self taught youth of Benjamin
Franklin, Roger Sherman, Abraham
Lincoln, Andrew Johnson. Sam Hous-
ton. Francis Marion and Nathaniel
Greene, the boyhorl of Andrew Jack
son almost ssume the appearance of
having been cast upon "howery beds
of ease."-Watson's Magazine.

The Amenities Of Life and the Gem
tie Art of Lying.

Very few of us, indeed, are exempt
to mention the strategic lies told to
enemies In time Of war, to criminals, to
sick persons and lunatics, as to which
pages upon pages Of casuistry appear
in the older works on moral science,
there are what may be termed the lies
lubricant, wrung from us by etiquette
and good breeding. If the amenities
of life were not preserved through the
gentle art Of lying society could scarce
ly continue as n happy family; we
should all have to live in separate
cages. The best of us will tell direct
lies on t~rivialities where politeness is
imperative. Wherever practicable, how
ever, the spirit of advocacy prevails.
We say whatever we can truthfully,
and tactfully pause while the hearers
self love and imagination fill out a
generally agreeable impression. Fam
lily relationships, even more markedly
than business or social relations, eX-
emplify the universal attitude of advo-
cacy. Mr.. Roundabout says: go to
Browns house and tell Mrs. Brown
and the young ladies what you think
of him and see what Il welcome you
will get. In like manner, let him come
TO your house and tell your good lady
his candid opinion Of you and see how
she will receive him." No one save
an unspeakable cad would speak slight
ingly Of a husband to his wife; no n
a V an unspeakable cad would toll
crate sighting language in his pres
ence concerning his wife. Such Is the
conventional law as to spouses, par
ents, children, blood relations in gen
eral, even intimate friends.-Wilbur

Chile and Andes.

Two ways, Chill and Chile, is the
name Of our South American neighbor
written. Chile is the Spanish and Chill
can form. The name is commonly ex-
planned as an old Peruvian word for
snow, the allusion being to the Andes.
But "Chili" has also been identified as
a native South American word, "chili,"
meaning cold, which would make 1t
really the chilly" country. AS to the
meaning Of "Andes," there Is plenty Of
choice. The word has been v~ari0usly
interpreted as signifying the haunt Of
the tapir, the region Of copper, the
home of the Anti tribe and the site Of
the "Andenes," Spanish gardens on the
mountain terraces.

HINDOO ACRCBATS.
They Perform f'ents of
balancing and Juggling.


There is always an abundant supply
of stories of the experiences of Hindoo
jugglers and acrobats. One who moves
about perched upon Il single long stick
Is remarkably clever. This performer
is mounted on n bamboo pole about If
teen feet high, the top of which is tied
to a girdle around his waist. A. small
cushion is fastened n few feet down
the pole, which acts us a leg rest. The
acrobat hops around Il large space in
the livcliest way. uttering cheerful
shouts and accompanied by the tapping
of a curious drum. He also executes a
sort of dance and goes through Il little
pantomime. 1t is a marvellous feat of
equilibrium. To walk on a pair of
stiits as high as this would be a per-
Torrance worthy of comment, but to
hop around on one is quite another
thing.
The same man can do many other
wonderful things. He appears abso-
lutely perfect in the art of balancing.
He can balance Il very light stick on
us lpSS HAu Il h''NS olc vi MS NhIh
and then throw the heavy one into
the air and catch it on the end of the
light one. When balancing these two
sticks, end III end. he will make II
revolve in one direction and the other
the reverse. He puts IL hand on a
fat, circular stone, throws his feet up
into the air and balances a stick on
each of them. At the same time he
revolves rapidly on the pivot formed by
his arm and the stone.

THE TREE.
1t Frequently Springs From the Grew
Ices of Great Rocks.

1t Frequently Springs From the Grew
lees of Great Rocks.
The tree which produces that beau
tiful and well known wood, mahogany,
is one of the most elegant, if not the
largest, Of the country in which 1t is
found and frequently grows in the
crevices of rocks. The appearance of
so large a vegetable production in such
a situation is extremely curious and
picturesque and is to be accounted for
from the construction of the seed,
which is like that of the thistle,
winged, or capable of being borne
along by the action of the air and in
that manner deposited in holes and
assures in the rocks, where 1t speedily
vegetables and springs up. AS long as
which it is found is sufficiently large
for its growth, but rs it increases in
size the roots gradually but irresistibly
force asunder the walls of their rocky
prisons and throw off large portions Of
stone.
1t is not always, however, found in
these situations, the largest timber be-
ing produced in some of the fiat and
marshy spots on the coast Of America.
Such is the Honduras mahogany, which
is much looser in texture and of less
value than that from the mountainous
districts Of Cuba and Haiti. This last
kind is known in commerce rs Spanish
mahogany and is chiefly purchased for
the purpose of being cut into veneers.

the RazOrback.
A man who had watched the affair
and claimed to know about hogs, razor
backs in particular, gave the following
dissertation: Arkansas has a greater
variety of hogs and less pork and lard
than any state in the Union. An aver
age hog in Arkansas weighs about
fourteen pounds when dressed with its
head on and about six pounds and a
half with its head off. 1t can outrun a
greyhound, jump a rail fence, climb
like a parrot and live on grass, roots
and rabbit tracks. 1t hasn't much tail
or bristle, but plenty of gall. 1t will
lick a wolf or a bear in a fair fight.
1t is so called razorback because it is
shaped like a sunfish. In hunting
razorbacks they are always shot at
sideways, for there is not a ghost of
a show to hit them otherwise any more
than to shoot at a split shingle. 1t can
drink milk out of a quart jar on ac-
count of its long, thin head. This type
of razorback is known as the stone hog
because its head is SO heavy and its
nose Sc long that it balances up be-
hind. The owner of this type of hogs
usually ties II stone to its tail to keep
it from overbalancing and breaking
its neck while running. If the stone
is too heavy it will pull the skin over
its eyes, and it will go blind."-Mineral

a commercial iron industry, which has
been continuous to the present time.

tinuous from the thirteenth century or
earlier. In the American colonies the

RAPID Growing Fungus,

In "Recollections of a Happy Life
Miss North describes many of her
young enthusiasms and among others
that Of collecting and painting English
fungi. On one outing, she says, l came
upon a fungus about the size of a large
turkeys egg. Eager to see 1t develop,
| took it up carefully and carried it
home. | put IT under a tumbler on
the window sill of my bedroom at
night. At daylight | was awakened
by a horrible crash Of splintering
glass. Behold the tumbler had fallen
to the floor and broken to bits. The
fungus was standing five inches tall,
having Matched itself free from its re-
straining egglike shell and in grow
ing had raised the tumbler and tilted
it sidewise until it fell over and to the
floor. The fungus had a horrible smell,
and soon a swarm of flies were hover
ing over 1t.
