on steel ring about twice as big as a
key ring, which hangs on the wall in a
Twenty'third street dentist‘s office, are
about 150 human teeth mounted on thin
steel swivels about two inches long. A
man who sat in the dentist’s office the
other "day, holding with both hands“ a
tooth that he thought was likely to jump
out Of his head, it ached so bad, stared at
the mwondemd if it held trophies
uric, " a art. ‘and it the jumping
‘ "Mldfioonbeadded to the collar;
tied. The dentist in the meantime was
holding an animated discussion with a
fair woman patient who sat in the big
chair of torture. Pretty soon he took the
ring of teeth from the wall. and the man
with the jumping bi-cuspid saw him go
through a maneuver that he thought ex-
ceedingly strange. He stood in front 0!
his fluent and, selecting a tooth from the
ring, hewould hold it by the side of her
nee, and then look at her as though he
~ were in some impossible way contemplat-
ingtlmeflect. Then he would take an—
other and go through the some operation.
Finally he made an entry of some kind in
a little book, told his patient to come
Tuesday, and hung the ring up on the
wall again.
When the man with the bi-cuspid had
climbed out of the chair with the fierce
edge of his toothache dulled alittlc by a
big wad of savory creosote. he asked the
dentist what his curious ops-ration with
the custom-t of teeth plight ills-an. .
- “It was a very simple limiter,” said the
artist of the forceps and the nerve eX<
tractor. “I was trying to find atooth
that would suit her complexion. No, you
needn’t laugh. It isn’t a joke. It‘s the
latest fad in dentistry, and when you
come to understand it, you will wonder
somebody hasn't thought of it before.
Haven’t you occasionally noticed that
somebody whom you have met has a set
of false teeth, and you know it perfectly
well, though you can't tell wily? There
is something about the rtptwltritlice of the
teeth, you don't know’ what it is, that
tells you, and in a0 vaguely unpleasant
sort of way, that they are false. You see
some otherwise good looking woman
laugh, for instance, and the first glimpse
you get of her teeth strikes you as disa-
greeable, although they may be white,
pearly and even. Did you ever guess
what was the matter?
"The trouble was that the Woman's
false teeth. though excellent in every
other way, no doubt. and costing a sum
that probably made her husband wince,
were not of a tint to suit iicr complexion.
I know of scores. of women. and no doubt
there are thousands and thousands of
them in New York, who have uncon-
sciously made perfect spectacles of them-
selves that way. Sow just think hovv a
woman with black hair and an olive coul-
plexion would look with perfectly white
teeth. The effect is the ulmslliest thing
you ever saw. when you Ctiillt‘ to think of
it. Yet 'l’ll but there arc 10,000 black
haired women in New York who are
wearing false teeth as whitcas a scpul-
chre. Then what would you think of a
blonde with blue eyes and light hair and
yellow teeth'iike these? That would look
mm‘tttz Well,jus'» notice how
many blonds women you see disfigured in
just that way. Think of the spectaclea
red headed woman makes when she opens
her mouth to laugh ‘ and shows the teeth
some blacksmith of a dentist made as ycl~
low as a South Brooklyn ague victim! It
is dreadful to all persons of cultivated
sensibilities. Dark complexiom-d persons
should have teeth of about this shade,”
showing a yellowish tinted tooth on the
ring; "ljghtcomplexioned personsshould
have lighter tinted teeth. Red headed
persons look best with a sort of gleaming
white that is not just a dead white, but
is not at all yellow.
“it's the same way about the ages of
people. An old man with n wrinkled
skin and gray hair lmks hideous with
white teeth. lt‘s unnatural, and i think
that even the East. river oysters must
know that such it man has false teeth,
and ill made false teeth at that. The
‘ way we do now is to notice the complex
ion carefully, and then strike a tint
that agrees with it. These teeth that you
ocean the ring are made of pormlain.
They are of every shade and variety of
tint known to the profession. Each one
is numbered. As soon as we find out the
Shadethat is wanted for a customer we
send the' number to the factory, antitbe
whole set is made of that tint.
“'l‘hat'sawnsiderabic advance in. the
dentists' art, but it is small compared
with some other things that have been
accomplished since the days when false
teeth, plate and all, were all carved out
of asolid piece of ivory."
“When was that?"
“About a century ilgn. There is such a
set, or, rather, two such sets. one for the
upper and one for‘ the lower jaw. that
were made for George Washington, in the
possession of a New York dentist. They
were carved withalmost infinite labor out
of solid ivory. On each side at the back
were little gold springs that kept pressing
the two sets apart. That prevented their
slipping out, but made them terribly tire-
mew the unfortunate man who wore
them,"a"nd if he ever. want to sleep with
them in his month they pried his mouth
open and made him more. They were
veryelnmsy teeth, we would think, and
only to be used on state oocasions."-—New
York Maternal Advertiser.
Haters of Advertisements.
Since the laws prohibiting defacing
mflral‘asencry were enacted the adver-
.. neompanies have out down their
, ‘ ’ minds of painters to verysmall
muons. Before that time they em-
playgd page that were as emulous, reck-
lessan‘d irresponsibleu the attaches ot a

fliers are
a black sort , and old
houses and a gray kind that is found in
collars and swarms in all thesewert. This
sever klg‘idlssthe most voracious hind dam
serous, ts ravages cost t city a
large sum annually. Wherever there is
underground shelter there is a family of
these rats and they multiply with asuin~
tshing rapimty. Cellos, sewers, cata-
combs are their abodes; they dig passage-
ways through thick walls, undermine
foundations and do a great deal of dam-
Mauy attempts have been made to
exterminate them in the sewers but al—
ways without success. Poisons of all
kinds, phosphorous, arsenic, prussic acid
and stry‘chnine, have been set. for them but
they won't touch the bait. One inventor
thought he had hit on the very thing’wheu
he proposed to fry pieces of spongein lard
and scatter . them about, under the ex.
pectation that thewrats would eat them ‘
and that the ex n of the sponges in
their Immachs would prove fatal. His
theory was all right except on one point-
the rats declined to eat the pieces of
sponge. As for traps they would perhaps
answer if it were possible to set enough to
catch all the rats in the sewers without
bankrupting the city in their purchase.
The plan which works the best is to
hunt the pests with dogs trained for rat
killing. Every now and then gangs of
men go down into the sewers, and by fol-
lowing several converging galleries man—A
age to drive whole armies of rats toward
asingle point, where these dogs arelet
loose and great slaughter follows. The
men who keep these rat dogs are paid one
cent for every rodent destroyed. Another
class of rat catchers operate on the streets
after nightfall, but their aim is to capture
the animal alive, so as to sell it to the
owners of teniers. These fellows receive
ten cents a dozen for live rats, and are
permitted to keep the dead bodies, which
have a market value of from three to four
cents, the skins being excellent for kid
gloves, while the bones can be made up
into toothpicks and ear cleaners—Paris

Glaciers in British Columbia.
Pushing on, small glaciers are visible
on all sides, winding their way down
through the mountain ravines. Ahead of
us one of the grandest glaciers of the
Seikirks is visible, pronounced by some to
be several hundred feet in depth—a sea of
ice slowly working its course to the valley
below, doing battle with and conquering
huge rocks on its way. Here we see
enormous slabs of clear. green ice, as big
as the side of a house, tumbled together,
some standing erect, like immense grave-
stoncs. Now we are startled by a sharp
cracking sound, which resounds through
the mountains, as some large ball; of ice
topples over, or settles deeper in its place.
One may read a lifetime and form no cou-
ccptiou of such scenes as here present
themselves; cold type cannot reproduce
them or do them justice. Turning from
the impressive grandeur of this enormous
field of ice, the eye wanders oil“ to the,
“snow masses" of the wild mountains, l
noting the ever changing effect of light 5
and shadow on these snowy peaks and
the great white amphitheater. We stand
and gaze on the silent. lonely, but en-
trancing some.
This is the home of the big horn sheep, l

Industries We 01s. to the shakers.
The Shakers have a keen appreciation l
of the necessity and dignity of labor. l
Every one of shem has some useful work
to do, according to age, sex and strength. ,
Perhaps no classof people has done more :
for the country than they, when it is re-
membered how few they are in number.
They originated the drying of sweet corn
for food more than fifty years ago, and
suggested the modern improved kilns for j
that purpose. They were the first in this '
country to institute the raising, papering
and vending of garden seeds in the present
styles. They originated in this country
the botanic practice of medicine, and first
dried and prepared medicinal herbs and
roots for market. They were the first to
make brooms of broom brush, and, in
fact, originated the entire broom business:
The first buzz saw wu manufactured by
the Shakers at Harvard, Mass... and used
both there and at New Ilcbanon. 'l'hc
Shakers first invented and used the plan-
iug and jointing machines for dressing
flooring and ceiling lumber. They were
the inventors and manufacturers of cut
India. The first machine for cutting and
bending card teeth and punching the
leather for setting was invented and used
at Mount Lebanon, and for years the
Shakers had a practical monopoly of all
the above named trades aml forms of
business—New York World.

Valuable flint to secretaries.
Recently I had occasion to look up some
old association records that dated back a
number of years, and it occurred to me,
much to my surprise 1 must confess, how
of the most commonplace data is
overlooked by men who hold high’ and re-
sponsible positions as secretaries or clerks
of institutions. Take for instance one
item: The association had during the
conrseof several years made changes in
its quarters. and it was important toka
the exact date that certain buildings were
occupied. There was nothing on record,
not even in the minutes, to show where
the meetingswere held. Almost invariably
the record would open “The association
met in regular session, president so and
so in the chair and the following members
present." Well, of course, some of the
members had to be hunted up, and in four
or five cases ndispute would arise as to
whether any particqu meeting had been
held. It looks strange, but let meet our ”OW
secretaries look over their minutes and
seeifthey have not neglecwd just this
very important minimum-Cor. Cincin-
