up for the defeat sustained by our high

Vile high school team.
The woeful lack of team work Of the

with long shot. and then superior
basket shooting told, the score soon

Pickinq Teeth a Good Habit.

Etiquette froWnS upon the use Of
toothpicks al the dining table, but
modern dental science seeks to eneour-
age the habit. According to Profess
sor Levett, one of the most eminent
French dental surgeons, the toothpicis
should be as much part of the set
ting of the table as the knives, forks
and plates; and if the meal is a pro-
tracted one, the toothpick should be
used before rising from the table.
1t is fact that, Notwithstanding the
acknowledged skill and pronounced
advancement in the science of dentis-
try. we still lose our teeth far too soon.
This is either through pyorrhea, that
dread disease of the gums, which
causes seemingly perfect strong white
teeth to detach themselves and fail
out. or through lack of cleanliness
upon the part Of the individual
To clean the teeth with brush upon
rising and before retiring is not
enough. The various mouth wash
disinfectants and the use of dental
floss in themselves cannot be relied
upon. The scorned toothpick must
be established. according to Pro-
fessor L.evet, because nothing else can
perform its functions adequately.
The toehtpick finds its way into al
the little ereviees of the teeth where
bits of food lodge and become danger

too, as a support for the medicated

of the teeth wen they become dis

When Tea Was a Luxury.

Dan Rawlingson, grocer, Of Fenchurcl

grocer to sell tea in England, and the
firm. now under the name of Davidson
Newman Il Co. and transferred to
Leadenhall street, sells the same

altered considerably" said the man

now il can be bought for shilling.

New Way to Catch a lion.

You know what a ferocious. power
full beast the lion is. And yet can inn
agine what strong chains it would take
to hold him fast. So, can you even
imagine a lion captured with fly pa
per? Well, not so very long ago, four
huge man-eating lions were taken in
that manner at the village of Gwalior
in India.
1t happened that the head man of
the village was able to shut the four
lions up in huut into which they had
ventured in search of prey. He kept
them thus barricaded for nearly two
weeks, no one being willing to attempt
to capture them. Finally he thought
of a scheme that proved as successful
as it was original.
He had thousands of sheets of fly
paper spread on the ground before the
entrance to the hut. Then suddenly
the barricades were lifted and the four
lions came bounding out-into the fly
paper. OF course it stuck to their
paws, and of course, when they tried
to lick it off It became stuck fast 10
their faces and heads. The lions
promptly forgot all about human be-
ings and, in their wild endeavors to
get rid of the fly paper, rolled over
and over on the ground, roaring and
fighting for breath.
Then the head man and his followers
rushed forward with long ropes, las
seed the plunging lions and tied them
up-hy paper and all.-Tid Bits.
