WHO OWNS THESE teeth?

Ypsilanti, Mich, Mail Carriers
Who Get Queer Package.

Ypsilanti Mich.-There is a new yer.
sion of the Cinderella story which is
more up to date than the original which
has done duty through several genera
tons.
According to the new one the modern
prince is going about Ypsilanti inspect
ing the mouths of would-be princesses
to see whom wandering set of upper
teeth may possibly fit. .r
Recently when the post Office carriers
made their collections from the city
mail boxes one of them discovered set
of false teeth in one of the boxes. The
teeth were not wrapped up or labeled as
to their destination nor was postage
prepaid. So that the authorities have
no idea as to their ultimate destination.
Just how they came there is also q
mystery and whether some night wan
derer tried to swallow the mail box and
got too big a mouthful, or whether the
teeth were destined as gift for some
member of the force, is not known. The
teeth will be kept week and then re-
turned to the dead letter. Office as un-

ROSES FOR CATCHING RATS.

Agricultural Department to Test the
Flowers as a Rodent Bait.
The use of choice roses as rat bait is
to be experimental upon by the biolog-
ical bureau Of the department Of agri-
culture, says the Washington Post.
The bureau has been Informed of a
number Of cases where rodents that
spurned tempting cheese and crackers
were easily enticed by rose, and it
periments proposed by the bureau will
be to show conclusively that these
flowers surpass cheese, crackers, rinds
Of bacon and other bats that are COM
monty used to entice the rats into
traps.
1t Is explained that it is not so much
the taste of roses that attracts the rat
as it is their fragrance, and for this
reason roses are expected to be the
popular bait Of the future.
Cases have been known where ro-
dents, attracted by the sweet perfume
of rose In a house, have gnawed
through doors to get at the flower.
AsdIS nave Dtc1l hLOWu " UcCOulc SuS-
p1cious Of traps with the familiar bait
of cheese and bacon rinds and easily
evade trap for long time. From
experience it has been found that white
roses, such as the dainty bride rose or
the snowy nephitos, have proved pref
erable in rat catching. One or two of
these fragrant flowers are placed in the
wire Gagged trap, and it is stated that
it will not take long for Mr.. Rodent
to be tempted by the enticing and
sweet smelling bait.
The power of rose as rat bait is
said to have originated in California
about two years ago, but it was not
until recently that the flower was used
to any extent. Now that the govern.
ment has officially recognized the rose
as rat catcher and will doubtless in
dorse 1t the flower will probably be-
come common method of enticine
rats to the death traps.

WORKS FARM LIKE A MAN.
Wife of Man Who Becomes Insane
Saves Property by Her. Exertions
-Complimented by judge.

knightstown, Ind.-The final settle
ment in the Henry circuit court of the
estate of George Shewmaker reveals the
story of how plucky little woman made
brave fight to save the farm, support
two children and maintain the family
respectability after she had been de-
prlved of husbands help when he was
sent to the insane hospital. Ell.
A few years ago, when Rufus Shew-
maker was murdered by John Thrawley
in the northern part of this county,
George Shewmaker a brother of the
murdered man, went insane from brood
ing over his brothers untimely death.
Shortly before he had purchased farm
and when he was committed everyone
thought the farm would revert to the
original owner. .l ....
Not so, however, for the brave little
wife set heroically to work. met all the
notes as they fell due, paid the taxes
regularly and the court has just author
lied the administrator of the estate to
turn the farm over to her. tE
All the while Mrs. Shewmaker worked
the farm herself marketed the crops
and did all the farm work without male
assistance and at the same time she sent
her children to school, When Judge
Morris issued his order he publicly conf
plimented the little woman for the
brave fight she had made and declared
that it was more than many men could
have done.

with blue light as an agent tor produc-
ing analgesla, or insensibility to pain.
the discovery OF Prof. Redard, have been
carried out by DR.. Harvey Hilliard, ana
esthetist to the Royal Dental hospital
OF London. In an article in the Medical
Times and Hospital, Dr. Hilliard states
tnat ne found tnat blue light had on
himself most distinctly calming in
ftuence, desire to close the eyes and
sleep is experienced, and, after some
minutes. sensibility to pain is lessened.
For instance, the difference between a
light pressure made with the tip of the
little hnger and needle could not easily
be detected, and surgical needles could
lie pushed into the face, lips, gums or
arms and blood drawn thereby without
actual pain being felt unless a still
deeper pressure were exerted
Il believe that the presence Of a blue
lamp suitably placed might give satis-
factory results in the treatment of In.
somnla. owing to its calming influence,
l have tried it with some benefit in one
case, and similarly in restlessness of in
rants suffering from mild illness, and
In asylums in case of mania it is con-
celvable that blue light rays might be Of
value. This view is supported by the
fact that red lights have been found to
have beneficial effect upon smallpox,
as it is inimical to the vitality of the
germs of that disease"
DR.. Hilliard gives instances of the util-
lty OF the blue rays in the case of the ex-
traction of teeth. One man said under
its influence he felt no pain when the
molar was extracted, and returned to
have two others removed by the same
agency.

PROFIT IN RAISING WOLVES.

Iowa Farmer Tells Of POHsfbilitfea
Under Bounty Law.
Raising hogs has always been re-
garued as profitable industry, but
raising wolves has it beaten ten ways,
according to special dispatch from
Burlington, Ia, to the st. Louis Post.
Dispatch. 1t has come to the ears OF
Des Moines county officials that the
latter occupation is being carried on
Systematically by a few farmers, who
hope to reap good profit next spring
The county pays 50 for every cub wolf
scalp presented at the auditors of.
tice and S. for every old VOLTS scalp.
1t has been noticed for several years
past that certain farmers have been
leaping rich harvest each spring on
the bounties they received for wolf
scalps. 1t is rarely that an old VOLTS
scalp is presented, and this fact served
to arouse the suspicious of the county
officials.
A farmer from one of the townships
where the wolves have been particu.
larly plentiful was in Burlington re.
Gently and unburdened himself Of a
few lunches concerning the wolf in
dustry.
"It's more profitable to raise wolves
than it is hogs" said this farmer. 1T
you have noticed, the scalps of the old
wolves are never turned in for bounty
There is good reason for this, as the
elimination of the old wolves would
put an end to the propagation Of the
species, also put an end to the collec-
ton Of wolf bounties. Why, l know

wolves that are as tame as shotes.

them, and every spring when the
young wolves are born the lair is in.

"It's surprising how a fairly domes.
ticated pair Of wolves will make race
suicide look silly. If an effort was
made l warrant that every wolf In
the county could be exterminated In
short time, but what's the use of
exterminating them when a little en-
couragement will keep them alive and

It is said an investigation will be
made by county officials into this state
Of affairs and the enterprising wolf

Mobile, Ala, Sept. O-CVia Neridan.) The number of casualties in the great storm of last Wednesday is slowly increasing as messages are re- ceiVed from places which have here tofore been inaccessible. The total last night of the known dead was sev- enty-five. This number was brought up to a certainty to seventy-nine. with a possibility of 1O2 by reports which reached Mobile during the night and early today
 Mobile itself is rapidly emerging from the confusion caused by the storm. Large gangs of men were kept working ali day in clearing the streets of debris. three of the street car lines have commenced to run for the first time since Wednesday, the confusion at the docks is rapidly being repaired and business will be at normal again as soon as the railroads are able to run trains
 The situation along the coast to the west of this city is now fairly we'll known At Scranton. Miss. one church, the Odd Fellows hall and sev- eral buildings were blown down. At Pascagoula Beach not a residence is left standing. The river front at that point is completely torn up and the lighthouse there has been destroyed. shipping at this point has been badly damaged The revenue cutter Wi mona, for which much fear was enter tained, is now known to be safe
 The crew of the cutter rescued the keeper of the PascagouIa lighthouse and his family during the storm The keeper of the Horn island lighthouse. just outside of Scranton. lost his life The captain of tug which came near the house at the commencement of the storm urged him to leave, but he re- fused to abandon his post and in short time was drowned. The entire end of the island on which the light house was situated is said to have been carried away by the waves.
 At Biloxi the damage has been of a minor character to buildings. Every bath house in the place has gone, and the beautiful driveway along the coast at this point has been destroyed. Boats which have from time immemorial found refuge from all the storm that by fleeing into the back bay at Biloxi, were granted no such immunity on Wednesday, as the waves ran high. and many of the boats that sought refuge there were sunk and all of them were badly damaged. At Pass Christian no lives were lost and the damage was slight. The wrecking of a few houses comprised the damage at GulfpOrt and nO lives were lost there.
 Five out of eight vessels at Ship isl and at the time of the storm were beached and two were totally wrecked Several vessels, the names of which are unknown, are ashore off Horn isI- and. between Dauphin island and the mainland. and have been destroyed.
