An analytical chemist was retained
as a skilled witness some years ago.
where there are questions OF analyt-
ical chemistry. There was one case
where a farmer had bought some ar

sued for the price Of It He resisted
payment on the ground that the ma
terial had none OF the qualities Of
manure at all. The expert chemist
was one Of the witnesses. and had
stated that. although the substance
had the smell. It had none Of the
chemical qualities Of manure. Under
cross-examination he was asked. II
that was SO. how did he account for
hundreds Of the best farmers having
taken the manure for many years.
They must have been led bv the

in Austrian Poland the idea of a little
farm, with its quiet, rural charm. its
cows and chickens. its sheep and hogs
the birds singing in the trees and niea-
dows. the musical sound Of the brook
dipping over the golden sands. the hum
of the insects and the like, has beckoned
to her.
Unfortunately Mrs Dysko has cream
tastes on skim milk resources If. like
ST Peter. she lacks gold and silver she
has a wealth of long tawny hair that
reaches well below her knees. She has
heard of the market for hair such as
hers. and for the sake of the little farm
she has resolved to part with this per-
sonal ornaments. so her dreams may come
true. So she is going to sell her hair
for 5000 Gf she cam and with the money
she will buy her farm, and then there will

Care for Teeth Of the Poor.

Prom New York Tribune.
Believing it almost impossible for a
man troubled with bad teeth to lead q
consistent Christian life, the Salvation
Army has opened q department of dem
tistry at 3o6 West Thirteenth street, un-
der DIR. John Craighton. The new dem
tai department row rivals in its peculiar
field the army's famous .'anti-suicide bu-
reau' in alleviating human suffering,
its promoters said.
Many a man has fallen from grace
when attacked with bad toothache and
unable to pay the high prices Of the
average dentist" an officer OF the army
said. I'm such condition more than one
man has given vent to his tealings in
. dow OF profanity Or tried to drown
the pain with whisky. and Of course such
acts would END his Christian experience.
