The captain Of vessel which was
bringing to America In the fall or 1893
a mysterious passenger who had come
aboard at Hamburg watched the latter
80 closely that at last the passenger
said one day: "Slr, this Is not the first
occasion upon which 1 have observed
the attentive scrutiny you bestow up
on me. May inquire the reasonT
"Sir." responded the candid captain,
''you took passage on my ship as a
Dane. l don't believe you're anything

was full of perspicacity and confidence
and was followed with. pray tell me,

At this question Captain Ewing
fidgeted. hesitated and finally blurted
out: "Well. to be honest, 1 think you
are a gambler. You've well nigh
ruined yourself at home and are now
coming to fleece the fools you'll find on

The young mans smile broadened.

Natural rnothhrushss.

Natives of somaliland have the whit
est and best teeth of any people In the
world, and the reason is not far to
seek. Whenever they are idle they
may be found rubbing their teeth with
smaR pieces of wood-little twigs which
are covered with soft bark and which
ravels out into bristles. This practice
prevents the teeth decayins and OF
course keeps them IN excellent condi-
ton. Just as one might pick wild
flower in the country so the Somali
native picks his toothbrush. They are
never without their small twigs. Tooth
brushes as we know them are I'M
known in Somaliland. Their own
methods are undoubtedly the healthi-
est and certainly the cheapest, and 1t
