What Teeth Answer For.

lives of all of us which assume now
the form of an exaggeration of the

intensification of insomnia and some-
times development of religious sem
sibility to the boundary line of mania.
In making good this theory the pro-

many of the ordinary cases of nervous
wreck met with in daily experience to
a misunderstanding of the dental

nature involving no pain whatever to
the victim, works its havoc and leads

Gertrude Maud back into her bed,
and covered Gladys Emily carefully
in the doll carriage, and started with
tagging footsteps toward the kitchen.
She filled the big dishpan with hot
water, and gave the glasses. then the
silver, their morning bath. Some
how the large kitchen seemed lonely
without either mamma or Janet, in
spite of the fact that the sunshine was
streaming in brightly through the
windows. Then sudden thought
came to her.
"I'll bring the dolls out here and
make believe they are helping me-"
she said to herself.
So Gertrude Maud and Gladys
Emily, and the smaller dolls, Hetty
and Lillian, and black Alice with
her apron and turban, looking very
much fitted for her task, were all
seated in row on the big table, with
their backs against the wall and their
feet sticking out straight in front of
them.
Then Isabel began her game. "The
plates you shall wash and wipe" she
said, addressing Gertrude Maud,
cause you're the biggest"
So Isabel carefully washed and
wiped the plates, and placed them in
front of Gertrude.
"And the cups and saucers belong
to you, Gladys. Be sure to do them
nicely" she said.
Then they were done, and piled on
the table by Gladys.
The smaller dolls, Hetty and Lii
lian, had the little butterplates and
oatmeal dishes to do.
1t was great fun. Isabel made be-
lieve that they didn't want to do them
at ell, and then had to scold them a
little and remind them that such
tasks had to be done by little girls,
and it was we'll to learn how to do
theh properly.
Black Alice had the frying-pan and
oatmeal pot to do. But the next time
Isabel had the dishes to do alone,

Pear-Shaped Balloon.

Pear-shaped balloons are the fash
ion in Belgium. The point is up-
ward, the base Of the balloon is spher-
ical. 1t Is claimed that balloons of
this shape pierce the air vertically
with far greater speed than the ordi-
nary spherical balloon. Consequently
they are steadier. Also the upper
pointed end prevents the accumula-
tion Of moisture or snow on the sur
face. which frequently weighs bal
loon down and destroys its power to

A correspondent Of the London
Times calls attention to the need of
an automatic recording speed indi-
Gator for railway trains. Both of the
most recent important fatal railway
casualties in England were undoubt-
edly caused by excessive speed at
points where the regulations required
a slowing down. Engine drivers be-
come reckless and disregard rules,
safely at first, but ultimately meet
with disaster If the record of speed
during each trip were to be submitted
to inspection there would be less dis
obedience and greater safety. Pos
sibly the recording speed indicator
has been invented, but it appears not
to be in use anywhere,

New England.

The weather for the past week has
been ideal for the finish in the cure of
our tobacco Probably during the last
recent damp quite a quantity was taken
from the poles, and many farmers will
take advantage of shortening the final
stripping season.
The condition of the tobacco taken
together with the fact of so many
sales will materially hasten stripping
the crop. For some sections OF the
country this continued warm spell
means a large increase IN tonnage.
Those who were brave enough to leave
their crops in the field after the rains
came in Pennsylvania think that not
only was their crop ripened, but it
made a growth of from 100 to 200
pounds to the acre, and changed from
green, almost worthless crop, to a
good crop of tobacco.
Down the river the situation remains
practically unchanged. A little con-
tracing is being engaged in, although
on small scale. At Windsor Locks
the report is that the prospects are
very bright. The broad leaf led in the
selling, but the talk is now on the side
of the Havana seed, and the growers
think that the cure has never been sur
passed by previous crop, and the ad-
vice to the growers is, if they have a
good crop, to case and sweat their own
tobacco, as the market conditions point
to higher prices for all classes or wrap
per leaf, and the present crop is free
from white veins, and, in fact, of all
faulty blemishes. At Warehouse Point
several sales have been made. John
Batchelder, Charles t. Abbey, Anton
Sabonis have sold their crops for Zoe;
others have sold at practically as good
prices. At Sufield enough tobacco has
been taken down to start the ware
houses and keep them running until
more can be taken down. Cultivator.

ANGW OAsAA, WV ANt AcOC.
Nothing more than routine air is
lowering over our leaf market. The
chief demand is still for whatever there
is left of the New England crops. And
there is clearing out of all old stocks
of binder and filler leaf. But the mar
kets being barred of old Wisconsin leaf,
the greater the disappointment that
there have been as yet no urgent calls
for the new crop. For filler leaf the
demand is concentrated on the rem
nants Of the 1908 Pennsylvania and of
Gebhardt and Zimmer's. Last years
crops of these types have as yet not
aroused any lively demand. The mar
ket is therefore in condition to re-
spond to any needs of our cigar indus
try which is happily just now exper-
fencing one of the busiest seasons on
record. When the cigar activity will
slacken up at the close of the year the
leaf market will again become bee
hive of trading. For the present trad
ing is liveliest in Sumatra and Havana.
Of neither type factories seem to be
over-supplied. Hence the calls for Su-
matra are incessent and though trans
actions generally involve but small
quantities the aggregate sums up to a
considerable total. In the Havana
market demands continue more than
fair. Manufacturers of clear Havana
cigars realize that the market in Cuba
has been barred Of desirable stock and
as the demand for the clear Havana
product is increasing with the approach
of the holidays our local Havana mar
ket is being drawn upon for the supply.
The consumption of seed and Havana
and larger transactions are consequent-
