To Frerent Rheumatism.
'When the navy turned to building Ita
hips of atee It was remarked that un
less some device was adopted for off
setting the effect of heat condensing
on the metal it would be only a matter
of a short time before all our officers
would be suffering from rheumatism.
The introduction of metal chairs, ta
bles and other pieces of furniture fol
lowed a few years ago and now there
I not a single piece of wood of any
!e to be found in an officer's room
on a modern warship. He sleeps in an
iron berth, keeps bis clothes in a steel
ehest, while the floor, celling and walls
of his apartment are of the same
metal.
8inee the adoption of the solid ar
nor for the aides-of warships a great
deal of trouble has been experienced In
making habitable the quarters directly
ne" to the outaide covering. The heat
of the room condensed on the cold
metal and In a very short time the oc
upant would be on the hospital list
lth a bad case of rheumatism. This
Is now guarded against by the use of a
beathing of asbestos placed next to
the metal and held In place by a frame
Work. This is found to absorb the
moisture In a satisfactory manuer.
Care Is also taken, says the Brooklyn
Eagh. to see that the berths are not
built against the outside of the vest,el
but against one of the side walls so
'hat the sleeper will be as far as pos-IbU-
from the metal that comes in coll
ect with the water.

Eats Corn Off the Cob.
"I can bite an apple as well as I
could when a child,' and I can eat corn
off the cob as well as any person alive,"
said a lady sixty-eight years old and a
customer of Wise Brothers, the famous
dentists, of Portland, Oregon.
Ehe bad been fitted with full seta of
npper and lower teeth by Wise Broth
ers, and was perfectly astonished to
find that she is now as well supplied
with teeth that she can use as she was
when a litle girl. Wiee Brothers have
revolutionized modern dental methods.
There is no more pain to be feared by
people who have their teeth attended
to, and the cost is very moderate.
They make a great specialty of crown
and bridge work, and evea when it is
necessary to take out all of the old teeth
and put in full new sets, the result is
simply wonderful. The falce teeth, of
course, cannot be told from natural
ones, and the person using them can
do everything be, or (he, could do
with natural teeth. The sets of teeth
are made to fit the gums so perfectly
that there is no slipping, and the
strength of the powible bite is juFt like
that of a natural healthy set of teeth.
The experinece of the lady customer
here related can be yours if your teeth
need attention. No one can afford to
postpone having their teeth nut in or
der. No one need suffer a single day
longer because they have lost the use of
their own teeth. We hope our readers
will carefully watch the advertisements
of Wipe Brothers in this newspaper,
and be persuaded to consult this splen
did dental institution.

OLD WESTERN TRAILS.
Great Transcontinental Railway Now
Knn tver Thrm.
The early explorers and pioneers of
the western part of the United States
made the paths that are now the great
railway highways of eomnimv. The
old trails of the p'tiin. deserts ami
mountains and the routes of the prvs-
eut transtMntinental railways are close
ly asH-intcd. as In the greater num
lnr of cases the big Western railroads
followwl the eoure of the wagon
tracks of fifty years ago. When the
American colonies were declaring their
independence of Un-at ltrltalu the "old
Spanish trail" was being laid out by a
party under the comma ud of Francisco
Silvester Yeles Ksenlante. In the inter
est of the Spanish missions In Califor
nia.
This expedition left Santa Fe In July,
lud, and after traveling over what Is
now known as the San Juan country,
reached a spot where tlrand Junction,
Colo., an important present-day rail
way center is located. From there the
party -trailed" to Salt Lake, and from
there to Los Angeles. CaL The new
"Denver and Northwestern Bnllroad
and the Salt Lake and 1ah Angeles
line will closely follow much of this
old Spanish trail.
The Union Taclfic Railroad runs over
the old riatte-Overland route from
Omaha to ,Ogden, and the Atchison.
Topeka and Santa Fe follows for many
hundreds of miles the old Santa Fe
trail, while In Arizona the same road
touches at many points the southern
overland tralL The Santa Fe trail
runs through the Raton Mountains
(southern spurs of the Koeky Moun
tains in New Mexico), and the engi
neers who built the Santa Fe Railroad
found many problems solved In the
way of mountain railway construction
by simply following the trail of the
Spaniards of many years ago.
There are still to be seen along this
trail Spanish bouses that were built In
the time wljen that part of the country
was within Mexican territory, while
there are also many roadhouses that
fifty years ago dispensed cheer and
comfort to the weary travelers who
crossed the plains and mountains for
the precious yellow metal.
The Klo Grande system follows the
trails made by Gunnison In l.S.")3-ri4.
'Ihe Colorado Southern, from Fort Col
lins to Trluldad, Colo., runs along the
trail between Fort Laramie and Fort
Union, and the Oregon Short line Is
built along the Oregon trail from Salt
Lake to Columbia. The Central Pa
cific, now owned by the Southern I'a- j
clfic, runs from Ogdcn to San Frun
clsco by a route that many years ago
was traveled by Spaniards and Indi
ans, across the northern end of the
Great American desert and through
the beautiful Sierra Nevada Moun
tains. From the snow-capped summit of the
Sierra Nevada Mountains to the green
fields around San Francisco Is a ques
tion of eight hours by the fast overland
limited on tbe Southern Pacific, and
along the route may still be seen the
path or trail that years ago required
many days of work and danger suc
cessfully to traverse. From Denver
to Salt Lake City the Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad follows old trails and
the Grand River, along which the wan
dering Mormons plodded on their way
to the hoped-for haven of rest Both
the Rock Island and Union raciflc,
says the New York Tribune, follow
ancient trails, and the big Rock Island
bridge at Omaha crosses the Missouri
River from Council Bluffs at a iolut
where the wealth seekers from the
East, with their families, live stock
and prairie schooners, used to ford the
muddy stream.
PENETRATING AMMUNITION.
Air of Wt Point Had a Peculiar Odor
One Morninic.
At West Point, among so many
young men full of health and animal
spirits. It Is Inevitable that there should
be plenty of Jokes afoot, even to the
extent of pranks constituting breach
of discipline. A favorite form of mis
chief consists In tampering with tire
gun. Once at least, according to II.
Irving Hancock, the reveille gun was
loaded with a peculiar kind of am
munition. When the sentry comes In from
guard duty at night, he finds coffee and
sandwiches In the tent whieb serves as
cadet guard house. As It Is not easy
to gage his appetite, there Is generally
a liberal supply of the sandwiches.
An officer aud a member of the board
of visitors were walking one morning
before reveille. Tbe officer was dila
ting upon the wonderful air at West
Point Suddenly the reveille gun was
fired, and both gentlemen began to
sniff.
"Marvelous air?" said the visitor. "I
should call it peculiar."
"It does seem strange," admitted the
officer.
"It smells like like like fried ham!"
"Precisely. But who is cooking it';"
It was too early for breakfast In any
of tbe bouses at the officer's quarters,
aud besldiw, the odor seemed to come
from the plaid.
"This must be looked Into!" muttered
the officer. "Suppose we take a walk
over the plain."
A fragment of scorched bam was
found In the grass, then a piece of bad
ly made toast, then more ham and
more toast.
A trail of fried bam and toast extend
ed for an eighth of a mile. Some cadet
had loaded tbe gun with candwlcbea,
rammed them down under newspaper
wadding, and awaited the event No
one ever discovered who that frolic
some cadet was.
