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.

CHILDREN OF NATURE.
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. N. Y. Sun.

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

turn bows to the lawyers who have an
nounced their intention of introducing
professional brothers. Iho sponsors
and tho applicants rise and the intro

The Supreme Court Iliblo is a small
black velvet-covered octavo. It has
been used in the administration of

have hold it, and to write tho names of

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.

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

Rye Soiling Experiments.
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
