The number of artificial teeth made in America last year by three of the iarjrest business houses en-rased in the i: ade was nearly 2J.00). 009. and this w is not more than half tho a "loal product of the country. Ono peculiar feature of the business is that tho houses which do tho most extensive export trade are obliged to prepare teeth of different colors for different countries. Ia Canada, for iri"t-inoe, the demand is for molars as white as snow-, while in South America no such teeth could bo sold. There they require teeth that are almost yellow, and the trade from China, which is a lucrative one, is for nothing but black teeth. I ll" Olir.-n-iH In lliO I, Ileal nurit lit Teu-l'Riay Work.

Mow Mr. Turtoii Aatoiinilml tha Miopia Mliolml lit Now Uulnna. The unsophisticated tribe lu New Guinea who think sugar la not fit to eat, recently offered to try an experi ment upuu Mr. Turtoii and his wlfo, which was respectfully declined. Ilo pardbiff the color of tho Kuropeans as a while pigment laid on very thickly they desired lo wasli It off, ana see what their victors looked like without their paint. llelniT amenable to ar gument, however, they finally became convinced that tho pallor on the faces of the stranijers wa not applied, but was natural. Confidential relations woro nearly estiibllslied when Mrs. Turtoii upset every lliinif by suddenly closing her parasol without duo notice. This phenomenon caused a pi lie, and the chief retreated over a hill lu undltr n I (h-d haste, followed by all his peo ple. As the world did not come lo nn end, and as the visitors were tnost friendly lu their manner, the natives finally ventured back. A present of a twopenny looking-glus to the chief re-established ooiupletn confidence, and was accepted a a present worthy of a jrrent prince. Hnt Mr. Tnrton was determined to show these children of nature some more wonders. Ho firot exhibited bis watch, and the movements of tho wheels were observed with many ex- elamiitions of astonishment. Then he held it to tho chief's ear, and when that venerable person h -arl the tick- linr ho jiimiied about three feet from the ground, and d.sdared that the thing talked. Mr. Tnrton showed some other curiosities, and at last accom plished the most nsloundinj; feat of tin day. He c nise.l wild dismay by lljrht liiif a match, and tho chief declared that such exhibitio n of marie art iiiubI lie stoi'poil. 1 he portent of tills oc currence was calamitous, nnd he beirod Mr. Tnrton not to do ho any more. The natives had seen m re than they could assimilate in one day, and tw;ran to soriUor to their huts. These people live only a few miles from the coast, at a place which has only recently been visited by while men. When Grenfell wa asendtn(j the I.ulonjro l iver In Central Africa aw hile ago, tho first white man to penetrate that region, ho enmo across a chief w ho had heard only tho vaguest ru mors that such beiiij;i a white men existed. About tbo only thing the chief woro was the helmet of a French cuirassier which, in the course ol trade, had conn into his hand. Nearly everywhere in tho Congo basin the first white visitors have found a lew products of civilization among people w ho had never seen a white man. Any white sojourner in Inner Africa can dbpojo of his c;ist-off clothing to ex relent advautags, and Stanley, in enumerating the commercial possibili ties of the Continent, declared that Africa was willing to absorb a large part ol the discard-id raiment of the civilized world.

In a clay-pit near their home she spent many hours amusing herself modeling animals uu.l shaping in the docile l lediuni any thing that pleased her fancy. She then studied anatomy with her father, w ho appreciated her u'u'ts. and her anatomical drawings were notable for precision before she had been inside a school-room. At sixteen the was sent to Mrs. Sedgwick's school. Thence she went to the studio of Stephenson In lloston. Friends In St. l.oois becoming interested in her talents she proceeded West und entered the medical college of that city to per fect herself in anatomy. She remained until s-be received a diploma.

The Supreme Court of tho United Slates is daily the scene of an event, which, while not of especial Interest to the spectators, is of marked Interest to the actors. It is tho Introduction of lawyers from the various States and Territories to practice before the highest judicial tribunal in tho land A lawyer to be oligiblo to admittance must be a memb.-r of Iho Supremo Court of his own State or Territory nnd must bo Introduced by u member of tho United Stat-j I S.iprenvi Court b ir In good standing. As soon as the few formal words of introduction are ut tered by the sponsor the applicant is directed to tho clerk's desk, and there, in company with any others who may have been introduced, he is sworn to observe the rules and observances of the court and to maintain tho Constitu tion of the United States. Ihe appli cant is then conducted to tho clerk's room, where he signs his name and ad dress in a bank kept for tho purpose. ami also pays tho $10 fee, usually with a crisp $10 bill. Scarcely a day passes that ono or more attorneys are not introduced to the Supreme Court. Monday, however, is tho day generally selected. Monday tho day on which tho court renders Its decisions. Tho installations take place as soon as the hist decision is read, and, as n rule, the last docision oi the day is read by tho Chief Justice, who -vaits until the other judges have con duueu. i tie l.liiei oustieo men bow to the Attorney lioneral, who in turn bows to the lawyers who have an nounced their intention of introducing professional brothers. Iho sponsors and tho applicants rise and the intro duction follows. The Supreme Court Iliblo is a small black velvet-covered octavo. It has been used in the administration of every oath since 1808. Every Chiot Justice and every Associate Justice ol tho United States has held this little sacred tome in taking tho oath of olliee. Many thousands of lawyers have hold it, and to write tho names of the men who have touched its covers would bo to namo the men who have made tho bench aud bar of tho United States illustrious.

A singular and striking anomaly in tho habits of presont-day people. Is tho great contrast In the amount and kind of clothing worn during the day and at night. cspsH-lally lu winter. When the nir is colli nnd tho weather inclement. it is tho general custom to wear gar ments of extra thickness and warmth. and to sit around roaring Ores. Hut on going to hd, in ninety-nino cases out of a hundred, people pass from tho warm living-rooms into chilly bail rooms. As if tho sudden change from extreme heat to excessive cold is not sutlleieiitly absur A. they proceed to di vest themselves of their several warm garments, to garb themselves in thin. perhaps linen, night-garments, and to consign their heated bodies to the cool lug induction of unsympathetic sheets. Conventionality has habituated ono to the custom; but a really serious con templation of it can not fail to make the utter absurdity of the custom clear ly apparent. If thin night-garments nru worn and cold sheets preferred, it stands to reason that the warmth both lack should be present in tbo atmos phere. To heat the body and to sua denly deprive it of its caloric, is con trary both to science and common sense. Dwellers in foreign countries almost Invariably sleep in llannul gar ments, and tho backwoodsman wraps himself in a stout woolen blanket, nnd defies the elements. They are sensi bio. I ho human frame should, un doubtedly, be clothed in woolen gar ments, for wool U a bad couduetor of hunt. Eaveloped in flannel, tho body maintains a normal temperature, which is of the greatest importance. No sooner does tho temperature fall than the action of the various func tions bcoomcs impaired; tho nerves get out of gear and tha whole system suf fers disorganization. W ho has not, nt some time, felt so cold that it was im possible to sleep? That is an example of the Inlluenco exercised by tho blood on tho brain aud uervous system. The question oi warmth can not bo over rated. Rut lot no ono run away with tha idea that tho more clothing, and tho t hicker, piled on their bods, tho better for their health. Nothing could bo more absurd. Ono does not want weight, nor too great a beat. A healthy temperature can be maintained by wearing a llannel night-suit and sleeping between blankets, which should be as regularly cleansed as those made of other materials. Let sufferers from chronic colds try thi? regime, as well as those afflicted with sluggish circulation aud tho accom panying annoyances of cold feet and other sleep-disturbing afflictions.

IN DANGEROUS CCMPAPTStS TUa Tarrtlla Riparian af ftol41 fa a Inltan Jangla. A General, whose narai Sir. Ingli does not give, tells tho following story of his experience in a pit-trap In an Indian judgle In "Tent Ufa in Tiger Land:" I was hurrying along a slight track, when, bang, all at once, down I went into tho concealed pit. But now comes the curious part of tho affair. I went plop! straight down into a deep, dis mal hole, and at the boltora landed right up to my waist In a deposit of tenacious, clayey mud. Kegutar "pank" it was. In fact, when I tried to struggle and free myeelf I found I was held as firm as If I bad been blrd 11 mod. I shuddered as I noticed the dismal surroundings. There were several great, gaunt-looking, yellowish-green frogs peering at rao wltb. curious eyes; and then, a I turned my bead around a little. I made a discov ery that made my heart cease beatingf for a minute, and sent every drop of blood in my body bounding back in my veins. There, right on a level with my face, its length half concealed in a crevice in the crjmbling sides' of the pit. its hood half expanded, i' forkod touguo quivering as it jerked it out and In. and its eyes glittering with a baleful glare, I saw a grefc cobra. I felt utterly helpless and de spairing, an 1 for a moment my hort wblsered to ma that my end had come. Then came a sort of nervous recklessness. I supposa it was "the fury of despair" wo road about I know I uttered a savaga curse, and. snatching my bard helmet, I hit tha brute a smashing blow in tha face, and then began a fight for life. It was a big, powerful snake. Tbo blow had maddened it Its bood expanded, it biasing filled the pit. and. swaying and rearing Its clammy leajth. it launched full at my face. My gun was lying choked up with dirt and half burled in the "pank," bit I hd my hunting knlfa with me, an 1 while I parried tha fierce darts of the Infuriated bruto with my helmot. I mala quick stabs and stashes at it whenever I could get a chance, and after a short, excit ing struggle it succumbed, and tried to withdraw behind tha crevice, but with a slice of my knife I nearly severed it head from its body. And then for awhile you may laugh at ma or not, as you will all wa a blank. I must have fainted. Tha weary hours dragged along. It was Intensely still and sultry above, I conjectured, for even in tha deep dark pit tha air was stifling and oppress! va, and I could not detect a sound or rustla in tho vegetation that overhung tha meuth of my living tomb. 1 could now sea that tho day was wan ing. Tha boat bad bjcoms, if possible, still mora sultry and intense, and onea or twice I bad fancied I beard a low, muttering, rumbling sound as if of dis tant thunder. Tho clouds wore hurry ing up in tremendous solid masses, and soon a big drop or two of rain began to coma hustling through tha overhang ing grass, an 1 another dread began to take possession of ray mind. I knew what was coming. From a hundred tiny crevices and gaps in tha edge of my pit the troubled turbid rain water began to trickle down, crumbling tha clay away, and I was soon drenched to tho skin, and felt with alarm the water be;rinuing slo.vly b it surely to mount up tbo sides of tii i p t I thojht then it was all up with in a.

O. that' was not so easy, but they managed it; soma of them cut down saplings and managed to make a sort of ladder, and Baeka came down with a long 'lathe, and loosened the 'pank round my body sufficiently for me to do the rest myself.

Pennsylvania Experiment Station Bulletin No. 5 gives some valu- j able information on soiling rye J-nd i its digestibility. At tho college they sow the winter rye at inter vals during September and Octo ber, at the rate of four bushels per acre on well-manured land, and in the following May and early Juno have a valuable crop for feeding. It is stated in the bulletin that if cut before the heads form, two good crops may be secured. In their experiments they have secured as high as 20 tons per acre, or 4 tons of dry matter, which is about double the amount of pasture grass for the same area. Prof. Frear found that when cut shortly after the beads formed, that over 70 per cent of the dry substance was digested, and sums up as follows: This shows that, although soiling rye differs from past ure grass considerably in composition and digestibility, tho yield per acre of digestible substance is much greater, and the material is probably equally well fitted for. the purposes of milk production. Also that tho constituents are present in such relative quantities as to fit the fodder for use without the addition of other more concenfrrated A Worthless Guarantee.
