Dentist Not Owner of Tooth.

At Gera, in central Germany, gen.
tleman who had been suffering from
toothache made up his mind to have
a tooth out. The stump proved a diff
cult one to draw, and when it was
taken out was of such. curious
shape that the dentist declared
that he would keep it as a curl
osity. His patient thought he
would like to keep it himself, and
claimed it; but the dentist, on the
ground that tooth, when drawn with
the free consent of patient, is owner
less property as soon as it leaves the
jaw, refused to give it up. The patient
entered an action against the dentist,
who has had to deliver UP the molar.

BajOre was remote station in
the province of Oudh, ruled over by
a solitary deputy commissioner. Un-
der him were native officials, among
whom not the least in his own esti-
nation was one Bheem Das, the clerk
in charge of the telegraph Office. To
this position Bheem Das had been re-
Gently appointed, in place of Dhondo
Visram, deceased--a worthy old person
who had held the Office for several years.
Bheem Das was man of immense
self-importance who, arriving at his
jungle post in the line of promotion,
regarded with supreme contempt the
ways Of his predecessor. Hence for
some weeks life for the late Visram's
assistant was not made enjoyable.
what do care how old Visram did
things?" Bheem Das scornfully ad-
dressed his assistant. "He was fool
and you are an ass. You must alter
your ways or make room for another.
I am man of advanced IDEAS"
Bheem Das, it must be remembered,
had been educated at a college under
foreign influence and prided himself
greatly on having cast overheard
much that was old-fashioned and su.
perstitious.
It was one evening shortly after he
had arranged matters to his satisfac-
ton in his bungalow Office that he
stepped out on the veranda for a
breath of air. Before him lay the
compound surrounding the house of
the deputy commissioner, with the
main part of the village In the back
ground. To his right and left were
a few scattered huts, from which
lights flickered smokily out into the
darkness, and, enyeloping the whole,
the silent jungle, cut by the line OF
tho telegraph.
Presently the approach of lantern
foretold visitor. The heart of
Bheem Das perceptibly quickened it's
strokes, for his family had not yet
arrived, and in the meantime he nat
tered himself that his personal at
fractions had been remarked by the
feminine portion of the community,
in particular by a certain girl in an
attractive red "sari," who, it seemed to
him, passed by more often than was
necessary on her way to and from the
we'll. Could she have found it i'm
possible to resist very natural in
fatuation? Bheem Das thought it not
unlikely, and smiled with inward

Posture Has a Great Effect on Diges-
- ton and Breathing Capacity
IL Value Of Both.

= Really, there Is but one disease-im-
pure blood By the practice of deep
breathing exercises, proper bathing and
diet, some more Or less vigorous sys-
tematic exercise, and return to regu-
lar habits and hygienic living, these ay-
enues of elimination may be again
opened up to fully perform the duties
belonging to them. In chronic cases,
however, which are of long standing,
something more may be necessary to
arouse to action the organs at fault"
writes one of our contemporaries.
Physical culture is not cure all. It
does not pretend to cure every ailment
under the sun, and there are cases time
and again that the good physical! trainer
will refuse to take, save jointly with
the patients physician, because some
thing more than physical culture is
needed; and, again, there are other cases
that demand rest rather than exercise.
That posture has most potent in
fluence upon your health in general.
and your digestion and breathing ca
pacity in particular, it is important
you should remember.
Thus, when WEAKNESS steals over
you. busy dressmaker, do not allow
yourself to droop forward, curving
the spine, contracting the chest, and
cramping the organs of digestion,
warns Nine. Hebe. Try instead
quiet stretching exercise. Lift the
head higher still. straighten the spine
forcibly, hollow the back, and force
the shoulders back and down several
times in succession.
Then dropping your. needle for a
second, place your hands on your
shoulders and slowly stretch them
upward till you feel the movement in
every JOINT and even the fingers seem
to grow and are conscious Of it.
Now, lifting high the chest, inhale
deeply once or twice and with f1nab
vigorous stretch return to your work,
but do not let your spine curve again.
Instead of bringing your nose down to
your work raise the work and thus
avoid the dangerous habit of slouching.
At night try gently bending the trunk
backward, forward, and to the right and
left, always feeling the spine is
stretched. A suction horizontal bar
placed securely between your door
jambs-is an excellent thing if discreet
ly used, for a few short hanging exer-
cises before bedtime each night will be-
found to be wonderfully conducive to a
quiet rest and often relieve the aching
back and head most effectually.
These exercises should be followed BY
instant rest-flat on your back for at
least ten minutes (and if you usually.
sleep without pillow and on your back,
you may find yourself in dreamland be-
fore the time is up). One warning 4
must give here-if you have any heart

For space they seemed to remain
stationary, and then as a flash of
lightning illuminated the scene, he
saw the 1.-the form of the panther
standing at the keyboard. Above the
