Dad Murphy's 8revity,

Old Dad Murphy. as he was a.A'et. tionately known to the boys on the road, was conductor on trunk line transporting large shipments of live stock from the west. Dad had been in the service so long that tue rules of railroading had become second nature to him, and the result of the superin- tendents frequent orders to the train men to answer with military breyity all questions and messages. especially those by telegraph, to relieve the bur den on the wires il1i reduced Dad to habitually short. concise replies, cvcn to his conversation. On baking hot July day, when n0t l breath of air was stirring and the sun beat OH the car roofs till the pitch pulled the soles Off the brakemans shoes, Dad in looking over the train discovered that eight hogs had succumbed to the heat When passing the next telegraph sta tibn he threw off q message to the s'l- perintandent:
 Burhans, s4ot,-Eig,st hogs dead acct heat, advise. MURPHY, No. g. At the second telegraph office he re eeiyed his answer:
 Murphy, Condr -9.-TVhat ts the presea, condition Of the hogs? Ans. ok.
 BURHAE5. Dad grunted, shifted his quid of fns cut and wrote as follows:
 Burhans, suDt.-Hogs still dead.

Huoo and Verdi.

Verdi labored long before he per suaded Victor Hugo, who was vexed that the tragic beauties of his "Le Roi S'Amuse" had been turned into operatic effects, to attend a perform ance of "Rigoletto." He succeeded at length, and Hugo sat in the box with the composer and listened to the op- era. But not word did he speak. Verdi's impatience got the better of him. and he asked:
 Well, what say you-about the quar- tet for instance"
 Show me way in which four per sons can be permitted to speak simul- taneously." replied the poet. land I will write something more beautiful than your quartet"

Early Dentistry.

The art of dentistry was practiced among the Egyptians and Etruscans, and there are evidences in mummies and skulls that in very ancient times teeth were filled and efforts were made to supply the loss of natural by arti- dcial teeth. The first writer on the treatment of diseased teeth was Ga len. The science was introduced into America by John Greenwood, who es- tablished himself in New York in 17SS. In 179O and again in 1795 he carved in ivory an entire set of teeth for General Washington.

ABOUT BABY
Mothers Should Ask Their Physician
What Food to Use.

When il is necessary to wcan the
baby. the physician should always be
consulted as to what food to use.
The physician most certainly will
advise against the use of condensed
milk, or cows milk alone. although he
will quite likely advise the use Of what
is called modified milk
The chances are that he will pre-
scribe Justfood. which. when prepared
according TO the simple directions ac-
componying the package, modifies
cows milk in exactly the way that
would be recommended by leading
physicians.
Justfood is so delicate and so easily
absorbed that the baby always keeDs

use hme water or medicine.
