Bad For the Teeth.

Quicksilver miners follow the
most unhealthy trade in the
world. The fumes of the mercu-
ry produce constant salvation,
and the system becomes perme-
ated with the metal; the teeth
of the unfortunate men drop out.
they lose their appetite, become
emaciated, and as a rule seldom
live longer than two years.
Chloride of lime, employed by
bleachers, frequently destroys
the enamel and dentine of the
teeth. But phosphorus, used so
largely in the manufacture of lu-
cipher matches, affects Il very
large number of persons, women,
girls, and children greatly pre-
ponderating.
People who work in soda facto-
rieS are affected by the teeth be-
coming soft and translucent;
they break off close to the gums.
DR.. Hesse, of Leipsic, states
that bakers are likely to suffer
from decayed teeth on account
of the flour entering the mouth
during work, collecting on and
around the teeth, where it de-
composes and generates an acid
destructive to the dentine.

Bank.Sotes that Speak.

An English bank-note expert
has recently invented a method
that will insure the paper cur
rency of that country against
forgery.
The principle of this invention
lies in the application to the edge
of a bank-note of a pictorial"
record of some specially arranged
phrase. A bank-note so provid-
ed would. when placed in q
phonograph, reproduce this
phrase for the benefit of the
bank manager or the person dis
putting the genuineness of the
note.
Assume that the code phrase
for a So note is "f5 note" This
would be extremely unlike, but
would serve to illustrate the
point. A pictorial record of the
oscillations produced during the
utterance of the phrase>would be
made and a die cut capable of
reproducing the peculiar wave
lines. With this die the edge of
s5 notes would be perforated.
The note then becomes, in ad-
dition to a unit in currency, a
photographic record of its own
genuineness.

Odd Proposals.

In Switzerland, among the re-
mote Alpine hamlets and vii
lagos, especially in the Bernese
Overland, there still exist ancient
and pretty customs of proposing
marriage by the language of
flowers. If a maid accepts a bo-
quet of edelweiss from a man she
at the same time accepts him as
her fiance, the idea being that
the man has risked his life
to obtain the flowers for the
woman he loves. Another meth
cd which exists in the canton of
Glarus is for the young man to
place a flower pot containing
single rose and a note on the
window sill Of the girls room
when she is absent from home
and wait perhaps days for reply.
If the maid takes the rose the
young man boldly enters the
house to arrange matters with
her parents, but if the rose is al
lowed to fade away the proposal
is rejected without a single word
having been exchanged between
the couple. Sometimes a tickle
girl will keep a young man wait
ing a day or two for an answer,
but whatever in may be tits con-
sidered final.

Try to Conquer Troubles.
Glasgow Republican,

Glasgow Republican,
Seeing that it is impossible to
dodge them, ones best weapons
are courage and good cheer.
You can't dodge them, troubles
will come to each OF US and often
it does seem as though they have
the habit of trailing you, so that
two or three good, strong troub-
les will be found wal tt n g
wherever you 60. bobbing up in
the most unexpected places and
at the most inconvenient times.
We can't evade throuble, no
matter what life gives us. But
you can meet your troubles in
several ways, and there is where
the success or the failure of life
lies. If you lie down and let
trouble tramp right over you,
you are going to lose out. There
will be always more reasons for
quitting and whining, and less
power to bear up bravely against
the sad and disagreeable things
Of life.
But trouble tackled with
courage and good cheer is half
conquered. There is nothing so
discouraging to trouble as the
thought; "others have had to
endure this sort of thing; why
should | expect to escape?"

Married Men and Bachelors.

1t is the distum of a physician
that married men live longer
than single men. The reason is
that the single man leads a
selfish existence. A married
man can double his pleasures.
Any time he has a streak of good
luck it tickles him all over, but
it makes him feel twice as good
when he tells his wife about it.
And she is so pleased and proud
that he feels like two-year-old.
There isn't a chance in the world
of a mans arteries hardening or
his heart weakening when he
can get a million dollars worth
of pleasure out of making his
wife happy" Of course when
the married man is unfortunate
it grieves him that his wife must
suffer with him, but if she is the
right sort there is sufficient COM
pensation in her sympathy. At
any rate, whether he lives lon
ger, the married man lives better
if he is the right sort-and is
at least to be credited with a de-
sire to bear his part for the per-
petuation of the race and the
conservation of society on the
terms prescribed by what is
known as Christian civilization.

Hogs for Breeding.

For breeding purposes avoid
hogs with long legs and shouts,
shallow bodies, narrow heads,
contracted heart girths, and long
pastern combined with a small
bone, Also avoid hogs that are
too plump and chubby in ap-
pearance. The breeding animal
should have plenty of size and a
massive appearance. A very fat
hog is a bad risk, for there is
danger of his breeding faculties
being impaired.

Fatal Duel.

John Blackford, of Smartwood,
Mo-, was about to kill a black
snake. the other day, to stop its
theft of eggs, when the thief
earned it's liberty by saving the
life of his mother. The young
man had found the nest of a hen
that had taken to laying it's eggs
in grove some distance away
from the house. He ais odiscov-
cred that the blacksnake had
been devouring the eggs as fast
as the hen laid them. He de-
termined to ambush the snake
and kill it. He and his mother
watched the hen that day and
when the egg was deposited in
the nest they crept closer to
watch fer the thief. In a few
minutes the blacksnake appeared,
stealthily creeping through the
uuderbrush. Mr. S. Blackboard
was so fascinated at the sight of
the blacksnake that she did not
hear soft whirring sound close
by her as she stepped back to
give John plenty of room in which
to dispatch the reptile. Evident,
ly the whirring sound did not es-
cape the blacksnake. Suddenly
it stopped and its whole body
seemed to stiffen. More quick
ly than the eye of Mrs. Black
ford could follow it darted to-
ward her, but a little to the side.
AS she screamed and jumped
back her son leaped to her res
cue, but he stopped, too, for he
saw what human beings rarely
see, a blacksnake fighting a rat
tier. The two stepped aside and
watceed the conflict, which was
uneven from the start. The
long slim blacksnake was too
quick for the more sluggish and
poisonous one. With it's first
leap it had clamped its fangless
jaws back of the poison head of
the RATHER and wound its body
tight around the others. In a
few seconds the life had been
squeezed out of the big rattle
snake. That snake can have
all the eggs on this farm for all
O. me-, remarked young Black
ford when it was over, land
what's more, I'll never kill an
other blacksnake as long as I
live" That's just the way |
feel" said Mrs. Blackford.
