Bad Teeth Go With Good Brains.

Bad Teeth Go With Good Brains.
An English scientist has pointed out
that there are signs Of a steady de-
generacy in two sets Of organs vital to
the we'll being Of the human race and
the fall is most marked Among the
western nations. The evidence Is that,
coincident with the mental advance Of
man, there has been a diminution in
the provision Of teeth. In the ape.
the negro, and the white man. brain
and teeth are inversely proportional
to efficiency. Increase Of cunning has
reduced the work OF the teeth, and the
demand OF the brain for blood has
starved the former; disorders of d.
gestion show that the balance is un.
satisfactory.

to yield to Francis Joseph's infatuation, she
resolved that the blonde Cinderella should not

At that moment they spoke of beautiful
Italian countess. How had she entered the
closed circle Of Vienna? Just before the birth
Of Elizabeths first child, when the motherin-

woman was invited to a great court ball, and
Francis Joseph paid her such attentions that
she was at once dubbed favorite.

Time passed.
The birth Of little son. Rudolph, was a
great Joy to Elizabeth; yet before he was six
months she learned that his bringing up WAS
to be taken out Of her hands.
But he is my son" she faltered.
HE is the heir of the Hapsburgs," replied
the Archduchess Sophie.
But the emperor has authorized me-"
II withdraw the authorization" said the
terrible mother-in-law. Tears, protests were
without result: the baby boy was given a wet
nurse and governess, replaced later:by tutor,
the Count Bombelles, who, many years later,
took part in the orgie Of Meyerling which ter

And Elizabeth was only at the beginning of
her troubles.
At this moment there appeared at the pal

but radiant beauty During a whole season
the court asked one question: who is Nine

take villa at 1schl, summer residence of the
imperial family, everyone said, Now we shall
