When began the custom for individ-

the very appropriate and patriotic Gus

The Beavers Tooth,

No carpenters chisel can do more
effective work than is turned out with
ease and neatness by the beavers
tooth. This is the principal tool with
which these patient, clever builders
construct their dams. The outer sur
face of the tooth is a scale of very
hard enamel, while the body OF it is OF
softer dentine. AS the softer sub
stance wears away in use the end of
the tooth takes a chisel-like bevel,
leaving a thin, slightly projecting edge
of hard enamel as sharp as any car
penter's tool fresh from the oilstone.
The thin scale of enamel gives keen
ness, the softer dentine supplies
strength, and thus the combination
forms a formidable tool, which &C
tually sharpens itself by use.

that she had sent the cream puifs to

OF the woman of whom Mrs Oakley was
said to be jealous was not revealed.
Mrs. Oakley is 80 years old. She was
married Is years ago, but after year
she left her husband and lived with her
