STYLES IN TEETH.
No Beauty in a Row of,
Pearls. ' '
It is curious to what an extent the
mutilation of teeth goes on among sav-
age nations, and even among certain
civilized people, such as the Japanese
With them a girl is never married
without first staining her teeth black
with a repulsive kind of varnish, and
the custom is especially adhered to
among the richer classes.
On the west coast of Africa a large
portion of the teeth are deliberately
broken when children reach a certain
age. Both in the new world and in
the old the custom exists of extract-
ing the two front teeth of domestic
servants. In Peru the custom has ex-
isted from time immemorial, and used
to be a sign. of slavery in the days of
the Incas. This is also the custom on
the Kongofand among the Rotten-tots.
Teeth are stained in various colors
among the Malays.
A bright red and a bright blue are
not uncommon, and a bright green is
produced with the aid of arsenic and
lemon juice. Livingstone related that
among the Kaflirs a child with a prom-
inent upper jaw was looked upon as
a monster andimmedlately killed. ‘On
the Upper Nile the negroes have ”all
their best teeth extracted in order to
destroy their value in the slave mar-
ket, and to make it not worth while
for the slave traders to carry them off.

Happy Korean Lovers. .
The determination of the King of
Korea to marry again has caused
great rejoicing, as it is not considered
polite for anybody of social standing
in the kingdom to marry while the
king is single. Consequently, the fidel-
ity of that monarch to the memory of
his murdered consort has been making
many hearts ache, and the interruption
of love’s young dream has threatened
serious political results, for even the
astute and autocratic politicians of
the Orient find they have to reckdn
with the primitive complications of
human nature, and that these are
times when even a king of. sacred dy-
nasty can assume too much responsi-
bility in directing other people’s ac-
tions—Baltimore American.

way ‘We Are Right Handed.‘
Primitive man being by nature-a
fighting animal, fought for the most
part at first with his great canine
teeth and fists, till the process of time
added to those early and natural weap-
ons the further persuasions of a club
or shellelah. -
He also fought, as Darwin has con-
clusively shown, in the. main for the
possession_0f the ladies of his kind
against other members of his own sex
and species. ,
And if you fight you soon learn 'to
protect the most exposed and vulner-
able portion of your body, or, if you
don’t, natural selection manages it fox
you, by killing you of! as an immediate
consequence. ,
To the boxer, wrestler, or hand-to-
hand combatant, that most vulnerable
portion is undoubtedly the heart. .A
hard blow, well-delivered, on the left
breast, will easily kill, or at'any rate,-
stun a strong man. Hence, from an
early period men have used the right
hand to fight with, and have employed
the left hand chiefly to cover the heart
and to parry a blow aimed at that
specially vulnerable-region. And when
weapons of offence and defence super-
cede mere fists and teeth; it is the right
hand that grasps the spear or sword.
while the left holds over the heart fox
defence the shield 01' buckler.
From this simple origin, then, in.
whole vast difference of right and let.
in civilized life takes its beginning. At
first, no doubt, the superiority of the
right hand was only felt in the manner
of fighting. But that alone gave it a dis-
tinct pull, and paved the way at last
for the supremacy elsewhere.
For when weapons came into use,
the habitual employment of the right
hand to grasp the spear, sword, or
knife, made the nerves or muscles of
the right side far more obedient to
the control of the will than those of the
left.
The dexterity thus'"acquired by the
right—see how the word “dexterity”
implies this fact—made it more natural
for the early‘hunter and artifice: to
employ the 'same hand preferentially
in the manufacture of flint hatchets,
bows and arrows, and all the other
manifold activities of savage life.
And to the end the right hand re-
‘ mains especially “the hand in which
you hold your knife ;" and that is ex-
actly how your children to this day
decide the question which is which
when they begin to know their right
hand from their left for practical pur-
poses. .

GOLD MINING AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY OF YUKON.
PRICE OF SHARES TO BE ADVANCED AUGUST 3|. I898. I
Mr. Joseph Ladue, the pioneer of the Klondike, and founder of
Dawson City, aided by some of the most conservative and successful finan-
ciers of New York, is operating the strongest company yet formed for »
mining and trading in the Yukon gold fields.
«To this Company he has transferred pllcer claims on Hunker and
Gold Bottom Creeks, the “Marguerite" Quartz Mine, his Saw Mill,
his Timber Lease, that virtually monopolizes the saw timber on the
Klondike, and large holdings of Choice Town Lots in Dawson City.
The Company also owns the S. S. “ Morgan City ” now earning $20,000 per
month, and, has shipped up the Yukon several hundred tons of merchandise,
{or trade, upon which a very large profit is assured. The U. S. Government
reports certify that the saw mill produces. about two million feet of lumber
in the open season, sales price of which is from $140 to $240 per 1,000 feet
according to class. 0
CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY. ,
Preferred Stock, a; cumulative, ' $1,000,000
Common Stock, 4,000,000
Total Capital, par value, 510 per share, $5,000,000
The preferred stock has a first lien on earnings for its dividend,
and on the assets of the Company for its par value, and after all the
stock of the Company has received 6 per cent, the surplus earnings are
shared pro rata by the preferred and common stock. ’ .
Thus the preferred stock practically offers the safeguards and advantages .
of a first mortgage bond, coupled with an earning capacity as great as that of
the common stock. ‘
The undersigned has obtained a short option on a block of this preferred
stock which he now offers at par, $10.00 per share. This option terminates
August 315t, 1898, after which the price of the preferred stock will be
advanced by the Company to $1 2. 50 per share.
This is the last opportunity to get the preferred stock at par, and
in time to participate in the autiimn dividend. Shares will be alloted in the
order subscriptions are received.
