THING OF MOST IMPORTANCE

Her Teeth When Hair Was

The dentist was busy filling a young
woman's teeth. When he had finished
the first tooth he handed her a mirror
that she might see the result for her.

time handing her the mirror after a
tooth had been filled. Finally, when
his task was completed and she had
handed back the mirror with thanks,
he asked:
"Well, Mrs. Danforth, how do they
look to you?"
Look to me? Why, I haven't seen
them yet !' she exclaimed.
81 mean the teeth have just filed"
said the dentist, thinking she had not
understood.
"Oh, l forgot about the teeth" she
replied as she reached for the mirror.

Slaughter Should Be Checked.

1t is from the American Museum of
Natural History that there comes the
warning of the extinction of the fur
bearing animals of the world, and with
it the appeal for some kind of an or
ganization or movement which may
check the slaughter and save to the
woods and fields some of the inhabi-
tants which add to their charm and to
their living interest.
Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn, the
president of the museum, quoting from
a report on the subject, has just said
this:
Nothing in the history of creation
has paralleled the ravages of the fur
and hide trade, which, with the hone
fertilizer trade, now threatens the en-
tire vertebrate kingdom. The legiti-
mate use of furs for protection in cold
weather has long since passed. Furs
are nov a fashion, just as feathers
were 80 years ago. The trade has
passed almost entirely into the hands
of people of Oriental and Aslatic orr
gin. Furs are worn in midsummer
purely for ornament and personal
adornment. or to make a display of
wealth and luxury"
In the art gallery of the National
Museum in Washington there hung re-
Gently an oil painting at which, at
one time OF another, thousands upon
thousands of ~fur-wearing women
stopped to look. The picture repre-.
sented a snow scene in the north, with
a fox in the foreground with one leg
fast fixed in a steel trap. The snow
was blood-covered. for the plain in
ference was that the animal had strug-
gled and had torn his leg cruelty to
free it from the trap. Washington
naturalists and lovers of the wild
generally have been wondering ever
since if this picture had the remotest
effect OF the women who looked upon
