declaiming his verses: sHe would

Of Wight, to be sire that he could
not be overheard by any one lurk-

In the same volume appears IN
anecdobe of Prince Bismarck At the
Berlin conference: "At dinner the
prince drank only beer, SAYING that
be used TO drink wine, and too much
of it, but that now he could not
stand anything stronger than beer
In obedience to Princess Bismarck
he made a good dinner, but not
enough of it in her opinion, and
when she wanted him to take more

THE DAHiA.
StsSy q the Plsrt's Strange lntessus.
ton Ints England.

Not long ago there appeared on
the table of lady who is an en-
thusiastic gardener a dish which
puzzled her palate. She could rot
decide whether it were a slngularlN
turnipy potato or remarkably p"-
tatoey turnip, and whichever it was
she did not like it. She summoned
the cook, and inquiry presently re-
vealed. to her dism&y. that It was
neither, but some Of her choicest
cactus dahlias, innoccntly mistaken
for vegetable.
The error was less disastrous than
the famous one of the Dutch house
keeper who during the prevalence
of the historic tulip mania accidrm-
tally boiled for onions ii handful CT
tulip bulbs worth a fortune. Bat ii
was certainly vexatious as we'll as
funny.
According to historic tradition,
the original introduction OF the dab
liza into England occurred through
an error exactly opposite in charac-
ter. 1t was imported for vegeta-
bic and turned out flower.
A little over a century ago, SO the
story runs, Lady Holland, travelling
in the south of Europe, was rcgaled
upon a soup of delicious flavor,
which her hostess informed her was
called Palestine soup" because its
chief Ingredient was the Jerusalem
artiehoke.
Lady Holland, always on the
alert for interesting novelties, Or
de,ed q root Of the ar6choke to be
sent to her gardener at Holland
House. This was done, As every
hoay supposed, but when tho strong
shoots, thrussinx up boldly IN the
vegetable garden, and, tended under
the watching eyes Of gardener, cook
and great Lady, arrived at maturity
and hoomed. they bore q new and
splendid flower, inedible, but glori-
Gus.
The plant was transferred to the
parte-re and. became the pride OF
the garden. although at first Lady
Hollands feelings were mixed, for
she did not like to lose her "Pales-
tine soup" But when q London
seeds~an came to look at it and Of
fered 80 guineas for the root her
last trace of disappointment vanish
ed, and her husbands graceful trib-
ute, which was soon passing from
lip to lip through the fashionable
draw !g rooms of London, added
tile ,,'lal to,ch to her satisfaction.

Hack Writers.

The journeymen writer's write al
most all that almost all Americans
bead. This is fact that we love to
FOOL ourselves about. We talk about
(fiteraturc," and we talk about
hack writer's" implying that the
beading that we do is of literature.
The truth all the while is We read
little else than the writing of the
hacks, living hacks-that is, men
Bnd women that write for pay We
nay hug the notion that our life
knd thought are not really affected
by current literature, that we read
|he living writers only for utili-
|arian reasons and that our real in
bellectual life is fed by the great
cad writer's. But our hugging this
elusion does not change the fact
hat the intellectual life even of
nost educated persons, and certain
. y of the mass of the population. is
led chiefly by the writer's of our own
lime. Let US hope that the great
vriters of the past do set dhe stand
rds whereby a few judge the writ
ng of the present. But even If this
be true it Is still true also that the
Intellectual life of the American
beople is chiefly shaped by current
kriting.-Walter Il. Page in Attan-

These Unsehooied Natives Take Special
Care Of Thsir Teeth.

The whiteness and beauty Of the
teeth of the African negroes have,
through a mistaken idea, been gen.
orally ascribed to the food which
they eat and to favorable climatic
conditions. But according to Ger
man medical journal, the Muen-
chercr Mcdizinische Wochenschrift,
these unschooled natives take spe-
c;al care of tie teeth and are IA
miliar with many remedies for the
treatment of dental diseases.
From the observations Of officials
in German colonies it appears that
the natives exercise mere care in
preserving the teeth than DO most
Europeans. They may owe the pos
session of sound teeth of ivory
whiteness partly to the influence OF
environment and habits, but in ad-
dition they employ many herbs,
barks and juices as prophylactic and
curative agents.
Thus in Negombo it is customary
when a child has finished teething
to rinse the mouth with an infusion
of the caves of native tree with
the object of tightening the teeth.
The action of the fGsicl is p:ob-
ably due to the presence Of q styphc
constituent in the leaves which
causes the gums 10 shrink The ma
tives living near the source OF the
Nile employ the roots of legumi-
nous plant, Dalbers:a r.@ianoxyloa,
to relieve toothacle, We Tie ma
tiycs to the }west o. tie soUTce OF
the same river use On infusion OF
the seeds OF kasso, q climbing vine,
for the seme purpose.
It is interesting to notice that the
use of the toothbrush is not re-
stricted to the so called civilized
peoples. The African negroes fash
ion toothbrushes out Of the wood
of a species of adansonia and other
trees. In this respect the natives
probably have an advantage over
those who use an ordinary bristle
toothbrush, which is frequently
used for six months or even longer,
indeed until it becomes too offensive
to be tolerated longer. The sticks
of wood such as the natives employ
are, on the other hand, easy to
make and cost nothing, and they
are probably used for only short
time. And they possess the addi-
tional advantage of offering less op-
portunity for particles of food and
other debris to be retained mechan-
ically than is the case with bris-
tie brush.
