Jennings to Play Short at

BALTIMORE. Oct. 1S.-Hugh Jennings
is to play shortstop for the famous old

game of their series with the younger
Orioles that is TO begin az ; this af-
ternoon.
Just how the inheld VIII lire up is

Whether to play an extra game to-

they point out that many who would

Youngsters Wouldn't Object.
The Eastern Leaguers have certainly
proved their ability to defeat the old
pennant winners OF a decade or more
ago, so that Dunn's men can now find
no objection to the original proposition
70 get some crack pitcher for the old
team.
Some OF these facts have been wired

keenly interested in the play here, and
It is believed that he has arranged TO

and II is also suggested that the old

the report that the Prep football team

enough there was an argument over one

WHERE TEETH COME FROM.
America Makes the Most Of the False
nolars.

1.-THE flipTant remT,k OF the drum
mer from Philadelphia, that if there
were any gnashing Of teeth in the
other world rs per cent. OF the gnash-
ing would be done by artificial teeth
made i'm America, was not far from the
mark" So says H. ID. Jones in an ar
ticle in the Technical World magazine.
America leads tie world In the ar
tificial tooth industry and Philadelphia
supplies a large percentage OF the
total output False teeth are shipped
from this country to the remote cor
ners of the earth. They are to be
found in the mouths Of Japanese Chi
nese, Hindoos, and even, it is very
likely, assisting in the mastication OF
the daily rations Of the Zulus of South
Africa. Indeed, it is not beyond the
limit of possibility that cannibal feasts
are conducted with the aid of Ameri-
can-made artificial teeth.
"The largest plant in the world for
the making of artificial teeth is to be
found in Philadelphia. The industry
has grown to its present mammoth
proportions within a comparatively
short time, for the dentists of old days
made the teeth for his customers in
a room adjoining the operating depart
ment. They were usually Hitting
and, being made from bone or ivory,
would not stand the wear long. The
discovery of way 10 make false teeth
by composition that was practically
indestructable marked the beginning
of a new era in the ability of the hui
man family to repair the ravages OF
time"

Way-BilI Told Truth.

A scientific gentleman in Washing
ton recently returned from South
America. bringing with him, not as the
fruits of his labors. but merely for the
purpose Of science, a collection of Pat
agonian skulls.
At New York the customs officers
opened the chest containing the skulls,
duly inspected them and informed the
scientist that the consignment must
be classed as animal bones, and as
dutiable at so much per pound.
Whereupon the scientific gentleman
evinced great Indignation. After some
parley the customs people agreed to
submit the matter to the treasury de-
partment if the way-bill was revised
in a way they suggested. The result
was that the way-blll was altered to
read as follows:

Women as Centenarians.

Once more woman has demonstrated
her superior vitality, to the discom-
future OF mere man. OF the centenari-
ans who died in the United Kingdom
during last year AZ were women and
only a paltry 16 were men; in 1905
the numbers were sc and %, respec-
lively, and in 1904, IL and %. During
the last ten years the women who
died after completing 100 years. at
least, of life, exceeded the male cente-
narians by 227 to 177-an advantage
of nearly SO per cent.
Tested by length. of life woman can
equally claim the superiority. Bridget
Danaher, who died last March In Lime
rick, was said to be 1l2 years old;
Merry O'Hare, another daughter Of
Erin, was only two years younger, and
Mrs. Sarah Egan, of Kings county,
was credited with 107 years, while
bridget Somers, who ended her days
In Sligo Workhouse In March, 1904,
had reached the ripe old age Of ia.
SO healthy is ireland that IL Is said
she has at present more than 500 CEN

and Wales can only muster 1872 among

Still Believe in Witchcraft.

How many English readers who
have read the witch trial of Vienna
know that such women as Marie
Nebily, performing just such tricks,
are to be found here? Marie seems
to have surprised the Austrian Judge
by her story of the Hungarian shep-
herd, Stephen Stephanovics, who is
90 years old and who sells charms
and in whom she believes He made
the remark, which we have so often
heard before, that the world is not in
the middle ages. But the Judge is
wrong. A great part of mankind is
in the middle ages, if by that is meant
that it believes in witchcraft. The
credulous Austrian woman who
thought that her husband could be
cured Of extravaganza If she gave a
half of one OF his socks to Marie Ne
billy. who would then for a small con-
sideration in money give a powder to
cure him of spendthrift habits, has
many French and English fellow-be-
levers. White and black witches
thrive in many parts of this country.
And what is more, they not only make
dupes but not few of them really be-
lieve in their own charms, as the
woman Nebily asserted that she did.

Not Unnatural Error.

A freshman who had entered one
of the large universities and was not
much accustomed to the ways either
of institutions of learning or of cities,
was returning late one evening from
a lecture. When near his lodgings
he was halted by two masked men,
who held him up" in true metropoli-
tan style.
One of them leveled the convention
al revolver at the young man while
the other relieved him of his watch,
pocketbook and other valuables.
He made no mention of the matter
to anybody at the time, but few days
later he reported it to the president
of the university.
1T wasn't a great deal" he said,
but it was more than | like to lose,
and think it's an outrage to treat
a boy that way
why didn't you tell me OF this
sooner" asked the president.
Il supposed they would bring the
things back TO me the next morning"
he answered. 1T was couple OF
sophomores hazing me, wasn't it?'
