GIFT OF ELOQUENCE.
Old Time Dentistry Practice a
Keen SOUR to OTat0y.

A story was recently told of the
elder Judge Peckham. father of the su-
preme court justice. In the early days
of dentistry q hickory plug was put
into the cavity to fill the space where
a tooth ought to be. This plug had to
be gently pounded into its desired po-
sition The old judge was somewhat
addicted to strong language. and when
the dentist began his work the judge
INDUCED in some classic comment AS
the tapping of the plug continued he
threw all dignity to the four winds OF
heaven and his language became de-
cidedly more forcible than elegant"
When. however. he arose from the
chair after what seemed to him an in
terminable period of agony he pulled
out all the stops in his vocabulary for
a grand climax. The impression of his
listener seemed to have been deep and
lasting As the judge passed out the
dentist remarked to a waiting patient:
wasn't it beautiful? 1t wasn't real
ly necessary to pound half as long. but
l did so enjoy his infection that l al

splinters. Wonderful command Of lam

SAVED THE SHIPS CREW.
Daring Rescue by Heroic Newfound
land Fisherman.

Daring Rescue by Heroic Newfound-
land Fisherman.
Sir Edward Morris. prime minister
of Newfoundland. tells in the Wide
World magazine remarkable story of
herOism on the part of a Newfound-
land fisherman. The name of this man
was George Harvey. and he resided in
a low, rocky island, few miles east
of Cape Ray.
In those days the emigrant ships to
Canada were crowded with passen-
gers. In the autumn of 1882 the brig
Dispatch, bound to Quebec. with 1853
souls. in gale of wind. struck rock
about three miles from Harvey's home
He heard the signals of distress and
Immediately launched his boat with
his boy of twelve. his girl of seventeen
and his dog, and tried to get out to
the wreck. On the deck of the doom
ed ship were crowded the crew and
passengers. in imminent peril of their
lives. A terrible sea ragged between
his boat and the wrecked ship. but
across that awful waste of water the
gallant fisherman and his brave chill
dren urged their frail skiff. To get
close to the stranded ship was to court
instant destruction. and the task of
SAYING those on board seemed well
nigh hopeless, but Harvey's noble
Newfoundland dog. with marvellous in
telligence, seemed to understand what
was required of him and at a signal
from his master sprang out of the
boat and swan toward the ship. The
seas overwhelmed him and drove him
back. but he persevered and finally
came near enough. The sailors threw
him rope. which he gripped with his
sharp teeth. and at last he got back to
his master and was drawn into the
boat almost dead from exhaustion.
Communication was now established
between the ship and Harvey's skiff.
and with the most laborious efforts ev-
cry soul was saved.

MAIL POUCHES.
They Cost From Few Cents to Thou
sands of Dollars EACH

They Cost From q Few Cents to Thou.
sands of Dollars Each.
Uncle Sam has twenty-eight differ
ent kinds of mail bags In service, and
they range in cost from % cents to
So, 156 each. There are mail pouches
for almost every conceivable use. and
you can ship almost anything that
comes within the postal regulations
with a minimum Of loss and breakage,
says Harper's Weekly. Probably the
most peculiar mail bag is the one ar
ranged for carrying bees. Sending
bees by mail was difficult operation
before the "bee bag" was adopted.
Usually the bees arrived at their des-
tination dead or so exhausted that
they were of little use. Now these
little honey makers can be shipped by
mail several thousand miles in the
bee bag without suffering and can
obtain air and a good supply of food
during their transit.
Mail bags are made of various mate
rails. The cheapest are of cotton and
the most costly of leather. Those used
metal so that they can be flung from
fast moving trains without damage.
Even then these bags, or catcher
pouches" do not last much more than
a year and half, while some of the
cotton bags used for the work will re-
main in service upward of ten years.
In parts of the west. where the mail
must be carried for many miles on
horseback, special pouches are in use
for singing over the animals TANKS.
In the far frozen north special bags
are made for sled transportation, and
in the cities a bag in use for pneu-
matte tube service is made of a COM
position called 'leatherOid." The or
binary cotton mail bags are woven so
closely that they are practically wa
terprOOf, and in the weave there are
thirteen stripes of blue Each country
marks its own mail pouches in some
individual way, so that if one gets
lost in a far country it's ownership
can be readily detected.
Nearly 65.OO0.OOO mail bags are used
each year by the whole country, and
as they are being worn out all the
time the supply has to be kept up.
There are mail bag hospitals. where
tens of thousands Of them go every
week. One suoh mail bag hospital re-
pairs upward of 5000 a day. These
crippled bags are in all sorts of dilap-
idated conditions. A railroad wreck
may injure several hundreds or thou
sands, and these must all go to the
hospital before entering active life
again. Christmas is responsible for
much damage to the mail bags. owing
to the hard service they get, and i'm
mediately after the midwinter holiday
season several hundred thousand bags
go to the hospitals.
Mail bags are the most Travelled of all
articles in use today. They are con-
stantly moving, and it would be i'm
possible to estimate the number Of
miles a bag ten years old has trav-
eled.

LIGHT AND THE EYES.
It's the Amount Rather Than the In.
tensity of the Rays That Hurts.

It's the Amount rather nan the IN
tensity of the Rays That Hurts.
1t is not so much the intensity of the
light focused on the retina as it is the
quantity received by that sensitive or
gan that causes retinal fatigue or
worse. In the great snow fields Of
the arctic regions the natives protect
their eyes from the glare of the snow
by goggles made of followed pieces of
wood in which they have made small
holes to look through. These, says the
Optical Review, reduce the quantity of
the light which passes into their eyes
with consequent relief from the glare.
So, too, if we look through d minute
pinhOle disk at the sun we can endure
the very bright light much longer than
when we look with the naked eyes. If
we look at a distant electric arc light
there is no retinal fatigue. while if we
look at the same light from a short
distance there is great discomfort. and
yet the two retinal images are of equal
brilliancy. only in the first case this
image is very much smaller than in
the second case-that is, the quantity
Of light is very much different
Then there is the flaming electric
light which is now to be found in all
of the large cities of the country This
light is much less brilliant than that
of the arc light, and yet its size is so
great that this more than makes up
the difference. and it is therefore very
glaring and uncomfortable to look at
In skiascopy it is possible to use a
very intense light if it is made small
in area, for the reasons above stated.

A 1icer Flower.

Of leaves, it looks like an azure bios

exactly resembling the tube of a cOrol-
