A LESSON FROM SWINE.

TvHE only living hog.dentst has appeared, and with him the
theory that all diseases which afflct swine are due TO their
teeth. As the student at the Zoo can get "some new light
from the tapr, some impression from the seal" so men may learn
from Pig. Perhaps the chief lesson is not to be pigs. Using at
least as much truth as the hogdentst does, it may be said that all
diseases which afnict men ar due to what they do with their teeth.
II the heart is to be kept with all dilgencc-"for out Of it are
the issues Of lne"-eo should the stomach, for out OF it also, in a
sense wholly physical, are the issues Of life. AS DR.. Elmer Lee,
Official Of the American Medical Association, has said, "Thc science
II living begins at the mouth. Az a man eats and digsts his food,
70 he L." A thousand malsdes which manifest themselves else
where have their beginning in the stomach. Food improperly Sc
lccted, improperly cooked or improperly eaten lays the foundation
for cancer. tumors, sbscesee, tuberculosis, rheumatism, Brghts dis
case, paress, paralysis, apoplexy, influenza, neuriti, neuralgia and
nervous exhaustion.
What and now one eats is a matter more completely under his
control than anything else. He may be unable TO get the amount
tand quality Of exercise he desires 1t the time he wants it. lie may
he unable directly 10 control the hours and soundness Of his elecp.
He may have only limited discretion over work or even amusement
But what goes into hin mouth and makes or wrecks his body is his
own affair. He hn nobody 70 blame but himself il he masticates his
food i~nsunRcienuy, or gives his stomach more work than it can do, or
dhsrms the senthnels Of digestion by shmulativcs and spices that
confuse the senses Of taste and smel and dnw . wrong verdict from
q Hunger, the high court Of the body.
Some Of our good women to the contrary Notwithstanding, the
cooking Of food IL = calling second only to child bearing in nobility and
significance.

THE BLACK SHEEP.

TsHAT widely diffuscd institution. "the black sheep Of the fam

who told q father that his daughter was dead, and the daugh-
ter that her fsthsr Was dead, and collected money from each 70, the

One might discourse on all those kindred typos-"the black sheep

One Of the black sleeps uses is to mortify the pride Of relatives

largest use 10 to proclaim the redemptvc qualities Of a good wom-

their wives undertaking their reclamation with the enthusiasm and
ultimate success with which lawyers undertake the reorganization Of
temporarily embarrassed corporations possessing good underlying
assets.
Tho return Of such q prodigal TO the family fold, in tow Of q
capable and devoted wife, is an incident for his pen who wrote the

GETTING DOWN TO VALUE.

1.-TWO incidents of Importance, perhaps Of signifying trend. are
registered In the theatrical world. Henry ". Savage has
made . cut Of 30 per cent in the price Of balcony and gallery
seats in hs theatre. Weber and Fields have decided to restore their
old partnership in fun-makng.
These moves are responsive to the general feeling that theatre
tickets are too high, and that for what they charge theatres should
give more. The feeling is registered In indifferent or bad business
along the Riaho.
u, There ought to be moro consolidation and price cuttings until
the cdihce OF initiation known as the star system has collapsed and a
theatre ticket, like q dollar bill or a gntedgcl security, stands for
par value in amusement.
