"Cyrus," asked his wife, "what are

"It is thirty-seven years ago to-day,
Keturah," replied the gloomy man,
who had thrown himself on the lounge
"since I became cashier of the bank."
"Well, what of that? Are you worn
out? Is the salary too small? Have
you ever had the slightest trouble with
the bank? Is there anything wrong
with your accounts? Are they think?
ing of replacing you with a youngei
man?"
"No, there's nothing wrong in any
way," replied the bank cashier, "bul
the very fact !h?t 1 have been the
bank's most trusted official for thirty
seven years, that I have never done

FOOD AND TEETH,
"Poverty Produces the 8tronRC?t onil
[Mont rumtlnsr Molar?.
"It Is a remarkable fact," said a
prominent New York dentist to the
writer recently, "that the teeth of the
poor are stronger and generally last
longer than those of the well-to-do
classes. The reason for this is that
what food the poor give their children
is of a variety that goes to make bonus
and teeth. This food consists or the
outside of all the grans of all cereal
foods, that contains the carbonate and
phosphate of lime and traces of other
earthly salts, all of which nourish the
bony tissues and build up the frame.
If we do not furnish to the teeth of
the young that pabulum they require,
they cannot possibly be built up. It is
the outside of con:, oats, wheat, bar?
ley, and the like, or the bran, so called,
that we sift away and feed to the swine
that the teeth require for their proper
nourishment.
"The wisdom of man has proved his
folly chown in every succeeding gen?
eration of teeth, which become more
fragile and weak. Our modern flouring
mills arc working destruction upon the
teeth of every man. woman and child
who partakes of their line boiled flour.
They sift out the carbonates and the
phosphates of lime in order that they
niay provide that fine white flour
which is proving .a whitened sepulchre
to teeth. Oatmeal is one of the best
foods for supplying the teeth with
nourishment. It makes the dentine,
cementum and enamel strong, flint
like, and able to resist all forms of de?
cay. If you have children never allow
any white bread upon your table.
Dread made of whole wheat ground,
not bolted, so that the bran, which con?
tains the minute quantities of lime, is
present, is best. Nothing is superior
to brown bread for bone and tooth
building. This is made out of rye meal
and cornmeal. Baked beans, too, have
a considerable supply of these lime
salts and should be on everybody's
table, hot or cold, twice a week."
"Is the habit of chewing gum in?
jurious to the teeth?"
"Gum chewing is liable to enlarge
the muscles which control the move?
ments of the lower Jaw. thereby chang?
ing, possibly for the better, both the
contour and expression of the face. If
the gum be pure I see nothing in the
habit to condemn, except its vulgarity,
as it has no baneful effect upon the
teeth, and is a good teeth-cleansing
agent."
Unrln Sani'? HlKc-?t Gun;
The ingot for the biggest g'un ever
ordered by the United States has just
been cast at the Bethlehem Steel
Works. When It Is all completed it
will be six tons heavier than the mon?
ster Krupp gun shown at the World's
Pair in Chicago, and five feet longer.
The diameter of the ingot as it rs
shown in the picture is six feet two
inches. Its length is forty-nine feet
two Inches. It will be by far the most
powerful gun ever constructed. Lieu?
tenant John F. Meigs, formerly of the
United States Army, under whose su?
pervision the gun is being built, says
of it:
Its projectile will weigh about 2,300
pounds, and its velocity will lin in the
neighborhood of 2,000 foet per second.
INGOT OF TI1K Ittf.fi EST O CN EVER MADK.
The range of such a gun would be very
great, not less than ten miles, and its
extreme range, or the utmost distance
to which it could throw a projectile
would be in the neighborhood of fifteen
miles." The nearest approach to this
distance heretofore was the so-called
jubilee shot In England, where the pro?
jectile travelled twelve miles. The
gun will be known as a slxteen-inch,
will weigh 12? tons and will cost $120.
000. Carriage and turret .ire not In?
cluded in these figures. Their cost
will be about equal to that of the gun.
A Kuiinum lioiiifiiicc.
A Horton, (Kan)., old maid has
quite a romance connected with her
life. In her younger days she had a
sweetheart, and ho asked her to be
his wife, but as she was too young to
marry, she refused him. They sep?
arated and the years fled by, bringing
with them much sorrow for the giddy
miss. Ten years afterward, on the
very day of the month on which she
refused him, came a letter from the
sweetheart of her childhood, asking
again for her hand. She did not love
him, but decided to never marry any?
one unless it be this man. She re?
fused again, and every year since then
she gets a letter on their anniversary,
with the same old question written
therein. The letters are not full of
love. Oh, no, simply a question, that
is all, a dozen words or more writ?
ten in a business-like way, with his
name Blgned below. Perhaps they will
get married some day; but very likely
not.

The ex-Empress, Eugenie hits gone
to her villa near Mentone. Her Maj?
esty's health has been very far from
satisfactory lately. As she is in her
seventy-first year, and has gone prob?
ably through more than any other wo?
man of the century, it can hardly be
wondered if her constitution has suf?
fered. Fortunately there is no organic
disease, but rheumatism in its most
acute form often almost cripples her,
and the ;;nce stately figure has shrunk
considerably. The Empress is very
"devote," ;.rd the rigors and abstin?
ences she will inflict on herself are far
from beneficial to her health. Of late
years the Empress has become indif?
ferent to the question of dress, of
which for so many years she was the
authority for the fashionable world.
It is almost an open secret that on
her death Princess Henry of Batten
berg and her children will succeed to
a handsome fortune.

OCK'S SPURS ON HIS HEAD.
Chey ?>ow Out '.lite Horns and He Fight*
With 'Jhom.
At the exhibition, of the Arapahoe
Fanciers' Club at Denver is a cockerel
and his name is Johnny Bull?fitting
to his stubborn and invincible disposi?
tion. The fanciers call him a freak,
which, though far from a misnomer, j
is displeasing to his owner, sixteen
year-old Willie ii. Seltzer. The bird
is a Plymouth Hock, not of pure
breed, but he attracts crowds where
others receive only a passing glance.
His nickname iB "The Terror of the
Barnyard," and all because of his
fighting proclivities, augmented by
two distinct and formidable horns.
These unusual adjuncts to a rooster
are placed just above each eye and are
at least one and one-half inches long.
When Johnny was born there was
no sign of his horns, but when he was
about 3 years old they began to push
their way through the skin, and have
steadily grown. Johnny was born
without the spurs usually worn by
game cocks, and it is evident that na?
ture, discovering her mistake, sought
to remedy it by putting the spurs on
its head instead of its feet.
At any rate this freak of birth has
not disconcerted the bird of fighting
proclivities, for it has learned to fight
with its weapons so strangely placed.
He has had the usual number of en
counters falling to the share of a bird
of his disposition, and in every one of
these he has been victorious, killing
his antagonists. The left horn is
broken and crumpled as the result of
a blow given by him in a fight a few
months ago, but which missed the
other contestant and struck a stone.
Hi? FomkII lllrd?.
Professor J. Ii. Hatcher, of Prince?
ton University, has newly returned
from a remarkable trip of exploration
in a hitherto unknown region of South
America?namely, the wild interior of
Patagonia. He visited Washington
this week for the purpose of deposit?
ing with the Bureau of Ethnology a
rich colled ion of objects illustrating
the mode of lifo of the various tribes
of aborigines in that part of the world.
These natives are among the strangest
and most picturesque savages in ex?
istence, some of them being described
as representing almost the lowest stagu
in the scale of human development.
Their country, too, is more than or?
dinarily interesting, being associated
since the earliest times with rumors
of gigantic human inhabitants and an
astonishing fauna. Quite recently
some skeletons of birds that had heads
i^ big as those of horses have actually
been dug up. They stood at least nine
feet high, and had short wings, claws
like an eagle's and a beak like a con?
dor's. It is likely that they attacked
with success the largest mammals con?
temporary with them, being the big?
gest fowls of prey that ever lived; but
they became extinct long ago, and so
there was no opportunity for Professor
Hatcher to secure a living specimen.
Carilltulatcd Cork.
It is only a few years since the man?
ufacturers of cork stoppers, and life
preservers threw away their chips
Now every particle of the refuse is
carermiy saveu aim mutzen, nrst hav?
ing been pulverized by special machin?
ery. In fact, owing to the constantly
increasing number of uses to which
this stuff can be put, the price of whal
was once a waste product is steadily
rising.
One of the ingredients of linoleum is
cork. The latter is also employed ex?
tensively in filling the hollow walls
of refrigerators. The manufacture ol
a light, porous bicycle handle opens
still another field of usefulness, and
it is now proposed to mix pulverized
cork with piaster of paris in mould?
ings, in order to render the bittet
cheaper and lighter. The article is
placed on the market in about half a
dozen different degrees of fineness,
ranging from a flourlike powder up to
grains as large as split peas. The
price varies from three to eight cents
a pound, and depends on the fineness
of the product.
A Itlcli Womiin'n Unique Charity.
A San Francisco doctor performed a
successful operation lor a rich woman,
and when asked for his bill presented
one for $50. The woman smiled and
said: "Do you consider that a rea?
sonable charge considering my cir?
cumstances?" The doctor replied,"That
is my charge for that operation; your
circumstances have nothing to do with
it." The lady drew a check for $500
and presented it to him. He handed
it back, saying, "I cannot accept this.
My charge for that operation is $50."
"Very well," the woman replied. "Keep
the check, and put the balance to my
credit." Some months after she re
received a lengthy itemized bill, upon
which were entered charges for treat?
ment of various kinds, rendered to all
sorts of odds and ends of humanity,
male and female, black and white, who
had been mended at her expense. She
was so delighted at it that she im?
mediately placed another check foi
$500 to her credit on the same terms,
and it Is now being carried in the same
way.
When a girl is born Tn Cdrea'-ssie is
not even dignified by name. Several
names are written on slips of paper
and placed in an urn before some fav?
orite deity, and when it is necessary
her godfather selects one without see?
ing It and she is known by it until
she reaches womanhood among the
members of her own family; strangers
designate her as the wife, mother, sis
tor or daughter of such or such a man.
This is not merely the result of cus?
tom. The laws are strict in this mat?
ter and hold n woman of little more
consequence than a domestic animal.
In the higher classes of society the
girls are separated from the boys of
the family at the age of 7 years. They
occupy the apartments of women and
are forbidden to communicate with
any one on the outside.
Couriae of True Love Swerved,
The following letter, which was re?
cently picked up in the street, is full
of homely pathos:
"Dear Jane?I ope as you will for?
give me for not larfln' at you when
you larfed at me last night. I 'ave
a bile under me arm, and can't larf
as I would like to. Yours affectlon

HE WAS A REMINDER,
Polite Drnmncr and the Lady Who
Told Him Something; Startllngr.
The drummer who was talking had a
Jerky style of speech, as if he were af?
flicted with St. Vitus' dance of the vo?
cal chords or some similar difficulty.
"Had a blamed funny experience once."
he said. "Had plenty, I suppose, but this
was different. It was out on the
Southern Pacific. Don't know what
town it was. Don't know what state.
Perhaps it was a territory. As many
territories along that road as there are
states. That's all right At the town
I'm talking about a pretty woman
about twenty-five got aboard. Pretty
women scarce as hen's teeth in that
country. Hadn't seen one for a month.
Couldn't keep my eyes off of her. At
last couldn't stand it any longer. Got
up and went over to her. Asked her
if I couldn't raise the window for her.
She said I couldn't. Takes a strong
man to raise a car window sometimes.
Asked her if I couldn't let her have a
paper or a book. She said I couldn't.
Tried her again on buying something
from the train butcher. Wouldn't have
it. Offered to get her a glass of water.
Wasn't dry. Tried everything I knew.
Got turned down every time. The last
time I tried was with a game of whist.
Whist was all the rage in the east, I
told her. She said she??siidn't play.
Then she looked at me for a minute?
maybe it was longer. Then she spoke.
" 'Do you know who you remind me
of?' says she, looking at me admiring?
ly.
" 'No,' says I. 'Is it some dear dead
friend of yours?" said I, trying to do
the funny act.
"'Not exactly,' said she, laughing.
'Not exactly, but of one that will be
dead in about seven seconds after my
husband set eyes on him at the next
station.'
" 'What's the name of it, madame?'
says I, making believe I was ready.
" 'Morseville,' yelled the brakeman.
" 'That's it," says she, laughing more
than ever, and I fell all over myself
trying to make connection with the
sleeper at the far end of the train."
FrecioOM Stones Here.
Diamonds have been found in Wis?
consin. In 1S96 one stone of 6 3-S
karats was found in Saukville, Ozan
kee County, six miles northwest of
Milwaukee, and another of 2 1-16 karats
in Burlington, Racine County. In 18S6
one of 21 karats, but of poor color, was
found near Kohlsville, Washington
county, Wis. These gems were found
in what is known as the Kettle Mo?
raine of the later glacial epoch. Geol?
ogists say that they were carried by
ice from the north.
One diamond of 1 3-16 karats, one of
j 1-16 and a third of 1-32 karat, were
found near Butte. Mont., a few dayf
ago. Rubies have been found in sur?
prisingly large quantities in the Cowee
Valley of North Carolina. With them
are very beautiful garnets.
On the bars of the Missouri River,
in Montana, sapphires of small size,
but fair quality and good in quantity,
are being taken out by companies
formed for the purpose. Several fine
beryls have been unearthed in Maine.
In North Carolina some good specimens
of emeralds have been discovered. To?
paz occurs in Idaho and Montana.
Connecticut. Maine and North Caro?
lina have produced several good speci?
mens of tourmaline. Garnets occur in
fair quantities in California. South
Dakota and Virginia have produced a
few valuable amethysis. A beautiful
opal was found in Maryland. In Lin?
coln county, Idaho, there is a deposit
of opalized wood which Is susceptible
of superb polish. . Turquoise occurs in
Arizona in the Burro Mountains.
'?In the Soup."
This expression comes from the
German, some say, but its birth as
slang took place at a game of base?
ball between New York and Chicago
in June, 1SS8, at the Polo Grounds, in
New York.
It seems that the members of the
Chicago team had made themselves
conspicuous by marching about the
field before the game in dress suits
and had consequently been dubbed
"waiters" by the bleachers crowd.
The game was a disastrous one for
the visiting team. They suffered a
defeat by the ignominious score of 19
to 2. At its ciose an enthusiastic New
York rooter yelled, "The waiters have
fallen into the soup!"
This took the fancy of the excited
crowd and was shouted all over the
grounds. The newspapers repeated it
in the accounts of the game and the
theatres promptly took it up.
Male Sopranos in Rome.
There is not a single woman's voice
in the choir of St. Peter's in Rome, and
vet the most difficult oratorios and sa?
cred music ever written are rendered
there in such a manner that one might
imagine Adeline Patti's high soprano
to be leading. There are sixty boys in
the choir, and they are trained from
the time they get control over their vo?
cal cords. Some of the best singers are
little tjoys.
FatOKonian Giants,
The tribes to the east of the Cor?
dilleras in Southern Patagonia belong
to Araucanian stock, and are a superior
race. The Tehuelohes?as they call
themselves?of Southern and Eastern
Patagonia are the people whose un
ttsual stature gave rise to the fables
of early days to the effect that the
natives of this region were giants,
averaging nine or ten feet in height.
It is a fact that they are the tallest
human beings in the world, the men
averaging but slightly less than six
feet, while individuals of four to six
inches above that mark are not un?
common. They are in reality by no
means savages, but somewhat civilized
barbarians. They are almost unac?
quainted with the use of lire-arms, not?
withstanding some contact with the
whites, but they have plenty of horses
and dogs. Unsurpassed hunters, they
capture the guanaco and the rhea, or
South American ostrich, and from the
skins of these and other animals they
make clothes and coverings for their
tents. They make beautiful "capes,"
or mantels, of fur and feathers, which
are highly prized by Europeans and
find a ready market, most of the pro?
ceeds being spent for bad whiskey,
which is brought into the country In
quantities by traders.

Poin and Desolation
Do not always follow a fire, but it
invariably causes some loss.
. The only way to guard against this Is
to take f,ut a policy with MA RYE &
BOYENTON. Then you have abso?
lute insurance against pecuniary loss
and a 'liberal end promrt settlement
which will prevent much Inowtiveniejiot.
Our rates for insurance on buildings,
merchandise and household furniture is
so small that it is wirong to be with?
out it.

For Little Money.
Look along the principal streets
of Newport Nrws and the most strik?
ing thing you see is that a great
many of the most prominent stores
are unusually brightt and your friend
asks you if there is an
Illumination
at hand. You tell him that this il?
lumination is not unusual now. Yon
know we have an up-to-data Gas
Company here and that that is our
''every day and Sunday, too," gas
light. Always bright, always reliable
and always the same. Where can
you get as good? Besides, will yoa
kindly ask any gas consumer, who
has improved burners, and proper
appliances, and he will tell you that
he is getting better light for less
money, fifty per cent, sometimes,
than he ever had before the Gas
Company began operations.
The Office is 2718 Washingtca
