Cloveland, Oct. 8.-The Iron Trade Review this week says: ' Another week has passed in which the Iron trade 'has been busier watch lng devolopmen-ts th'an in buying and selling. The meeting of the southern furnacemen and their decision on prices, the action of pig iron producers in throe sections indefinitely planning to cut down production and, finally the cutting in two of the dividend on the common stock of the United States Steel corporation, combined to make t'he week eventful. In the mean-time business hoas waited. We estimate the probable curtailncint of pig iron pro .duotion the last quarter of the year through concerted action at close to 9,25,000 tons. This counts on 750 tons from the restrictive program of central Western furnaces and 175,000 tons froin the southern aind eastern furnaces pro vided the eastern furnaces continue through November and December the 20 per cent reduotion planned for Oc tober. The situation as to southern iron has been complicated by soni moves made in advance of the action of the association meeting at Birmingham. There has not been enough buying in the week to imake the market clear, bu $10.50 and $10.75 iron is -not plen-ti ful and it remains to be seen whether e 25 per cent reduction in output de. cided on by southern association fur. naces will ena-ble them to work off ac cumulatod stocks at curront prices. The situation in the steel market hsa been without foature, less being hear-d of billet prices below those agreed up on. There is no market for Bessem-er iron, which can be had at $15.60, val ley furnace. Northern found-ry iron is irregular, bein'g generally $14.50 to $14.75 for Nlo. 2 at furnaces.

The War Office has already iot to work upon its plan for supplying sets St false teeth gratis to soldiers who ha've lost their teeth "as a result of active service," and local dentists have been approached in various centres with the offer of army work. The price allowed by the War Office to the dentists is only ?t for extrac tion (including anaesthetic and what ever the number of teeth), and from 42 10s. to f4 104., for the artificial sub. stitutes. This is not considered by the dentists to be a liberal price, inas much as' under the present plan the soldier does not come into the den tist's hands at all until he is practical ly rendered incapable of duty through loss or decay of his teeth. One of the official dentists say that nearly all the teeth lost or ruined in the South African war were damaged by the biscuits. The soldiers aver that the, biscuits were almost as hard as granite, and that it was impossible to eat thom unless they were soaked ovor night or boiled ini fat. Instances are numerous of men whose teeth were broken to pieces, and who came home with a mouthful of jagged edges. But according to the oflicial dentist the War Office plan starts at the wreng end, so far as sqldiers enlisted since the war are concerned. The War Oflice idea Is that these men shall wait until they are incapacitated for want of sound teeth and then be sent to the dentist for a new set. The den tist's experience is that men with one or two decayed teeth are not sent to have their teeth repaired, and the re pair of teeth is no part of the new plan. New sets of false teeth for old sets of natural ones is the War Office idea. What ought to be done in pro fessional opinion is to appoint dentists who slill regularly examine the teeth of every soldier in the army-twice a yeatr-and keep the mon's teeth in good repair. Recruits have to possess a ruilicient number of good teeth on joining the army, and the obvious thing to do would be to prevent their teeth from decaying. The army dentist should "stop" or "crown" decaying teeth, so that most men would never require the false set now temptingly offered. The regular inspection and mending of teeth would probably be less expensive than the provision of new sets, and it would raise the standard of health in the army and decrease the proportion of ineflicients.-London Mail., insects Think. That insects think is the belief of M. Forel, a French neurologist, who has been making careful observations of ants and bees. He thinks that, between the ideas of the naturalist who regards insects as mere automatons and those of the man who treats them as hu manly intelligent, there is a happy edium of common sense, and this he has tried to attain. Ills observations teach him that, although most of the acts of insects can be explained by in stinct, there remains what he calls "small plastic Judgments" by which they avoid dillculties and steer their way beyond dlangers. The directive faculty of bees especially and their wvonderful muemnory for places can hard ly he explained on the theory of auto mat ism.-Exchange. The Lady and Her Nose. There is a washerwoman in Paris that is in great trouble. Two years ago she had a fight with her huhband, in the course of which so much skin was tail-en from her nose that some new had to be grafted on. Recently she made(1 the horrifying discovery that a fine coat of hair was growing in her new nose, and then learned that the doctors at the hospital who had treat ed her had used skin from a human scalp for grafting purposes. The poor washerwvomnan then went to the courts to ask for a divorce, urging cruelty as cause, because it was her husband's brutality which took the original skin off her nuose which resulted in the graLfting, the hair, and the ridicule of her neighbors. Her Fatal Meal. While working on the Cleveland and ilitsburg Railroad at Macedonia, 0., Contractor Frank WVise hung his vest on a fence on a lot belonging to Frank Green, a farmer. In the pocket of the vest was a purse contalninag $85. A wandering cow of depraved appo tite spied it and ate the vest and con tents, but fortunately Wise discovered her in the act. lie purchased the ani mual from Green for $50 and sold her to a local butcher for $25. The cow was slaughtered immediately, and a search resultedl in the recovery of the $85, which was yet in such condition that it could be0 redeemed.-Baltimiore 8un. Whited Sepulchres.
