The Noxious Toothbrush.-The latest ar
t1cle to fall under condemnation az har-
borer of microbes (and one wonders that
it was not the f1rst) Is the toothbrush In
homes without number the brushes OF the
family are kept in the bath room exposed TO
the air and every flying bit OF dust or other
impurities. The remedy suggested is anti
septic absorbent cotton, fresh and sur
gically clean piece every time the teeth are
cleaned. Directions for using the cotton
are given as follows: Take a piece the
size of walnut, soak in fresh water, roll
into a wad. sprinkle tooth powder over 1t,
and then holding 1t between thumb and
forefinger cleanse the teeth. Strength In
cleaning the teeth Is of far less Importance
than thoroughness, and the soft cotton
never causes abrasion of the mucous men,
brane of the mouth or soreness of the gums.
For soft gums that bleed easily few drops

they are eeansed will be found excellent

Myths Concerning Coal-oil Johnny.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.


In our dispatches yesterday it was noted
that John Steele, commonly known as
"Coal-Or Johnny" was dying in poverty at
Franklin. We may expect very soon pub
LEGATION of many stories concerning the pic
turesque career of this man, who forty
years ago was the talk of this town and
many others. His escapades were written
out at great length and with much added
establishment They have grown during
passing years until now he is the center of
more fantastic and untrue tales than many
OF the ancient heroes of mythology Steele
published a book a few years ago in which
he told the actual story of his life with
great simplicity and candor, and he put
most of the stories concerning himself in
the realm of fiction. Possibly he had for
gotten some of the events and possibly he
did not care to tell all, but he asserted that
he was telling the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth.
1t is commonly supposed that he squan
dered a few millions IN riotous living in this
city, but he asserts that he never had more
than S40,O 600 in cash, that there were some
Hypothetical millions coming to him which
he never got, and that he has been adver-
tised out of all proportion to his misdeeds.
He admits making a fool of himself; that
he was craZed by sudden wealth, surround
ed by sharpers, befogged by drink, ETC., but
that he ever had millions to squander is not
true. 1t is firmly believed by many in this
City that on one occasion ne Dlfed Inc Con-
tinental Hotel and ran it for a day, giving
free food and drink to all who came; that
he deposited a fortune in the strong box of
a bank and forgot what bank 1t was; that
he gave princely gifts to all his satellites
and that he bought up a minstrel troupe for
a year to play for him alone.
Even $4,000 is a big sum for an ignorant
man to squander in few months, and
some of Steeles actions were almost as pic
turesque as those ascribed to him, although
on a smaller scale. The interesting fact Is
that the man soon became ashamed of him
self and settled down to a quiet life in
which he declared he had complete happi-
ness The memory of his orgies was dis
tasteful to him. Even though he believed
that there were fortunes In existence be-
longing to him, he was never resentful. but
worked for his bread and had a faithful
wife, who had never deserted him.
The most useful wealth that comes to
men in this world is that which they
achieve by energy and intelligence. The
world has had many instances of late of
the craze which wealth works on some per-
sons To tell the truth, Coal-Oil Johnny
was small specimen Of extravaganza COM
pared with a few recent men, although
some of the latter have been less spectacu-
lar and probably more immoral.

The Chair Habit.
From the Proyidence Jonrnal


Information calculated to prolong life
even If it does not make It more tolerable.
is being received daily. DIR. Noble Smith,
a surgeon of repute, declares, rather tardi-
ly perhaps that sitting on chairs us the
cause of nearly all our evils In regard to
the spine" and DR.. Covers, one of the
greatest authorities on diseases of the ner-
vous system, asserts that 'if one habitual-
ly sits on hard chair the pressure of the
edge is likely to give rise to sciatica."
Il these two authorities are correct there
seems to be no good reason why the chair
habit should not be abandoned although
there is no denying that it has become a
fixed habit. Already considerable has been
done to discourage it. Look at the fash
loLably furnished parlor, for instance 1t
contains chairs, to be sure, but nobody at
least no man of average proportions has
ever contracted spinal trouble or sciatica
by disposing himself In the spindle-legged,
hand-painted damask-covered things. If he
attempts to use them as chairs, instead of
regarding them admiringly as bric-a-brac,
his wife Shoes him out of the room: and If
she doesn't shoe him out of the room thew
let him down to the floor with crash that
scares him out of three years natural
growth. And inasmuch, as this same man.
left to his own devices, is accustomed to sit
on his back in a padded chair 1t is posi-
BILE that this warning is not meant for him.
If it is, he will have an excuse for remain
ing in bed that has not occurred to him
before, and should be grateful accordingly.
Remove chairs from civilization and some
men would never get up.
However, on general principles, there is
much to be said against sitting. 1t is ex-
persive, particularly in theaters and at the
ringside; In many households adorned with
attractive daughters 1t keeps the gas burn
ing long after hours even IL 1t Is turned
low, and Ii aids ana abets gossip, frivolous
conversation and lectures addresses and
concerts which are unintelligible. 1t may
be that the world would be better brighter.
happier and more active IL 1t afforded
standing room only.

Once More the Snuffbox.

From the Boston Herald.
There is a reported revival of snuf-takng
In foreign circles, and should the custom
materialize it will be cover here" in a
trice. 1t is a hoIrid Georgian fashion or
stimulating the brain, but what of IL when
the present craze of snuffboxes has to be
considered? Snuffboxes are still presented
by governments TO each other. and collect
ors cabinets are overlooking with precious
historic specimens that have figured in the
hands of monarchs. Besides this, modern
designers are DESTROYS of entering the snuff
taking arena They wish to try their tai

Two Rare Books.
.ondon Globe,

From the London Globe.
The National Library of Belgium has just
acquired two old books of great rarity The
curator had long been endeavorins to pro-
cure a copy Of the first book ever printed
In the Balearic Isles. the "Tractatus de
Regulis Mandatoruma." The only copy hith-
erto known to exist was in the Spanish
National Library in Madrid. The author is
the famous Gerson, and the book was print
ed In the Cartusian Monastery of the Trim
ity In Majorca. After much searching. sue
cess has at last crowned the curator's ef-
forts. though whence the treasure has been
unearthed Is prudently kept from public
knowledge. The other book. not less rare,
is collection Of the writings In prose and
verse Of the Catalan pier, Francesh Prats.

A rather remarkable old painting has
been added recently to the loan collection
of the Corcoran Galley. 1t is a Descent
from the Cross" attributed to Roger Van
der Weyden ana loaned by Mr.. Frank
Huntington, in the possession of whose
family it has been for many years. The
painter was lorn about the year 400 and
" as probably fellow student of Van Eyke.
He is thought to lave been trained as a
goldsmith for certainly IN 1882 he was
made master of the Guild of st. Luke.
For many years he lived in Brussels and
was painter In ordinary to that munich
pality, but in 1449 he made pilgrimage
TO Italy, visited Rome Milan and Florence,
painting while there a number of religious
pictures as commissions. Several of the
foreign galleries have examples of his work,
but they are not numerous and are highly
priced. Primitive in character the present
work is extremely interesting. Hard in out
line and infinitely finished. 1t still betrays
definite sentiment and has seemingly been
approached with reverent spirit. The tech
nique is remarkable and the grouping of
the figures excellent. The scene is at the
foot Of the Cross and behind the figures, as
