Cerorc the Toothbrush.

Before the invention of toothbrushes
people used TO clean their teeth with
linen This is evident from William
Vaughan's "Fifteen Directions to Pre-
serve Health" published 1902, in which
the author tells those who want to
keep the teeth white and uncOrrupt"
that they must wash the mouth after
every meal. ''sleepe with the mouth
somewhat open -" = and In the morn
ing take lianen-cloth and rub the
teeth well within and without" In
Vaughan's tir1e several varieties of
tooth powder were known. the recipe
for one of the simplest being as fol-
lows: "Burne q piece Of Corke till 1T

The House Was Shaky.

When John Quincy Adams was
eighty years of age he met in the
streets of Boston an old friend, who
shook his trembling hand and said,
Good morning. and how is John Quin-
cy Adams today
Thank you" was the ex-president's
answer. John Quincy Adams himself
is well, sir-quite well, l thank you.
But the house in which he lives at
present Is becoming dilapidated. 1t is
lettering upon its foundation. Time
and the seasons have nearly destroyed
it. Its roof is pretty well worn out,
its walls are much shattered. and it
trembles with every wind. The old ten
ement is becoming almost uninhabit-
able and l think John Quincy Adams
will have to move out of it soon. But
he himself is quite well, sir-quite
we'll"
With that the venerable sixth presi-
dent of the United States moved on
with the aid of his staff.

Had a Good Reason.

Dan, colored man, was employed
as porter in mercantile establishment
in town in Florida, and his duties
required him to have the store swept
by Z o'clock in the morning. He had
been late for many mornings, and on
the sixteenth consecutive time his en-
ployer demonstrated with him thus:
Dan, why can't you get here on
timer"
"Well, Mr. L." said Dan, Eyer see, l
live the &her side Of Mount Hermon
cemetery apd can't always get yere on
time"
"Why In the world do you live SO
far from your work. said his en-
ployer.
without a moments hesitation Dan
responded:
Eyer see. it's dis we're way, Mr.. L.
I'll be honest wild yer-I wants home
beyond the grave"

man. Thus have weighed the hearts
of my few relatives"
You will see that Miss Bakers sig
nature is witnessed by me-" went on
Mr.. Pardee, land the uncovering Of
well as Reuben ana myself. Don, the
box Is yours!' He placed the strong
box in the hands of the astonished
young man.
Edith was crying softly.
Then the deep voice of the clergy
man doomed through the silence, and
presently the bronze urn containing
the ashes of Susan Baker was inter
red beneath the old tree which had
witnessed the joys and sorrows of her
long life.
The west wind played through the
branches like the notes of an organ,
and the choir of birds sang a requiem
over the grave.
The Finley Bakers Were highly in
dignant when they learned that Don
barlow uau Coiie ihto poSseSSioh VI
$4,000, and they threatened lawsuit
but astute Mr.. Pardee had made the
whole transaction so legally secure
that they could find no loophole Of at
tack.
So Don and Edith, through the kind
illness of their hearts, earned reward
that they had not suspected when they
postponed their wedding day in order
to bury Aunt Susan's ashes beneath
the old apple tree.
