CARVINGS ON WHALES TEETH
Memen.ees Of Days When Industry Of
Catching Monsters of the Sea
Was In Its Glory.

In the museum of the Dartmouth
Historical society at New Bedford
there Is collection of ivory carvings
made mostly from whale teeth on board
the old whaling ships on long voyages.
Capt. George l.. Rowland, who served
10 years in the old whale ship Canton,
told recently of pulling teeth at sea.
First" he said, "the jawbone was
cut from the whale and lifted on deck
by tackle. 1t was then dashed firmly
to a ringbolt in the deck. The gum
was cut from the teeth on both sides
of the jaw with whale spade.
"a seaman then took crowbar and
drove it in hard under the first tooth
at the end of the jaw. A line was
strapped around the first two or three
teeth thus loosened and three men then
hauled on the other end of the tackle,
loosening the whole row.
"The big worries were then cleaned
and usually distributed among the men
who wanted to make carvings. In a
fully developed whale there are 40
teeth, varying In size from 3 to Z
inches"
Many ornamental things were made
by the whalemen from these teeth, but
the majority of the carvings in the col
lection are very fancy pie cutters.
These were brought home to New Bed
ford housewives to use for trimming
pie crust.

HAIR MEANS

Save Your Hair! Get a rs Cent Bottle
Of Danderine Right Now--Also
Stops Itching Scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; Of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruif. 1t robs the hair
of its luster, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
If not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is so beautiful. 1t will become
wavy and fluffy and have the appear
ance of abundance; an Incompatible
gloss and softness, but what will
please you most Will be after just q

Actual Bullion Value.

The United States realizes the diff
ference between the actual bullion
value of the gold or silver in the coins
1t issues and the money value it places
on them by coinage and by its stamp
of approval. The gold and silver coins
issued by the government are not pure
gold or silver, but are alloyed with
copper to the extent Of making them
900 parts fine, as required by law. If
made of pure gold or silver they would
be too soft and the copper alloy of
100 parts in 1000 is for the purpose
of hardening them. The difference be-
tween the nominal or face value Of
coin and its bullion value at the mo-
ment Of coming represents profit to
the government which Is supposed to
cover the cost of coinage.
