W. W. KING. NEW TOOTHBRUSH EACH DAY Qkood and Logical Roasopa Advanced for What at Flr?t ftaama Lika Extravagance. It m ay aaato soniuwhai axtravegaut to buy too th bf the groas, u?e one brush for OU0 day only and t h o n throw it nyay. but that lb ex actly what Home medical Bcleutlsta are now ? advocat ing. They be lieve It Will' prove economical, too. They have fig ured It out that 805 toothbrushes a year at teu ceuts a brush represents an outlay of $36.60. Many persons spend much more than that every year for dental work, and It Is now argued that a new toothbrush every day will prevent damage buing done to the teeth, gums and mouth by germs which, once lodged In the bris tles of a well-used tooth-brush, are dif ficult to get rid of even with the aid of powerful solutions. All of this and much more was ex plained during the recent annual meet ing of the British Medical association held at Birmingham. Dr. D. W. Car malt and Prof. Herbert 8pmll devoted their addresses chiefly to the advan tages to be derived from an increas ed allowance of tooth brushes and a corresponding reduction in denta] bills. With the aid of diagrams, enlarge ments of photographs taken under the microscope and specimens of disease germs taken from tooth brushes, it was shown that the precautions of the average man to clean his tooth brush, after using, are not sufficient. Instead of paying 75 cents pr one dol lar for a good brush and using it for several months, it is wiser and cheap er in the end, so Dr. Carmalt declar ed, to buy cheaper brushes and use a fresh one every day. If you have neither the spare means ? nor inclination for this course, how ever, there are still me&ods of rid ding the much-used tooth brush of the germs which cling to every separate hair. FlrBt, boil It for five minutes before and after each use. Secondly, rinse it in a one per cent, antiseptic solution and allow it to stand, when not in use, in a ten per cent, solution of formalin. Both of these drugs can bo obtained at any drug store. The ordinary tooth powder and paste are said to bo of little value in combat ing germs. For while they cleanBO the toeth themselves, they leave the gums and cavity of tho mouth unben? eflted. COST OF CHEOPS PYRAMID Material and Labor Represents an Estimated Total of More Than $100,000,000. One of tho most familiar qeustlonh asked by. "personally conducted" tour lets visiting Egypt and the great pyramid built by Cheops Is "I wonder bow much it cost to build It?" A build ing contractor with a . head for figures and building estimates 1&0 estimated that the Cheops pyramid could not be dup Heated today for less than one hun dred million dollars. With modern machinery and the employment of 40, 000 stone cutters, haulers, quarrymon, masons and laborers a duplicate o f tho pyramid could bo erected in two years. It has been calculated that the work really required the servlcoB of 100,000 mon for thirty years. The Cheopa pyramid occupies a space of 12 % acres and Is 746 feet high and jjoutains,, 142,315.000 -cubic yards - of ?tone and granite. The material alone represents an item of $36,000,000, while tho labor would increase thla amount by^$72,000,000. To this must be added $3,000,000 for tools, transpor tation and similar items. The pyra mid is built on a solid rock 150 feet deep, and to build a foundation of tlria character would add to the cost to the oxtent of making the total of $100,000,000. BURGLARS AFRAID OF BABIES Tholr Crying la Considered a Serious Drawback to Possibility of Mow ing Successful "Haul." According to the expert opinion of a New York burglar who was disturb ed during a recent profes sional engage* ment, chased, caught n d jailed, the only really eatlsfac tory burglar alarms are liv ing ones, and the boat of all la a crying baby. No burglar who knows bis busi ness, ho declared, will enter a house or remain In one If he hears a baby crying, for the simple reason that he knows that some one will be awak ened. The only objection to this kind ! of alarm Is that It cannot be relied upon to work when required. The Second beet burglar alarm Is a sharp dog, pr^ferrably a email terrier, whloh sleeps Inside the house at night No burglar, he said, will stay In * i house If he hoars a dog bar|K, "BILLY BOWLEGS." i A very small Indian boy with a very ; long Indian name crouched behind a gra say knoll in a Florida swamp one day In 18J6. \Vlth a bow aa tall, as himself be wai sending a succession of arrows luto a group of desperately fighting United State* soldiers. It was the battle In which brave Major Dade and his little body of troops were wiped out by Osceola's fierce Seminole warriors. Osceola (as an earlier article of this series told) took actual command of the Seml noles; but their, Sachem was Mlcanopy an old man. The little boy with th# big bow wai ( Mlcanopy'a grandson. From babyhood he was a ferocious, war-loving little chap. Most of his time was spent on horseback. His efforts to sit astride tlto broad backs of the native horses and ponies bad bent his legs into odd shape. The Indian*, often nicknamed each other from some peculiarity of face, figure or action. 80 the lad'a real name was quickly forgotten and be was known through life as "Billy Bowlegs/' Suoh, at least, was the way the Americana translated his longer Spanish title of "QUlllermttO a laspiernas corvas." A Boy Warrior. The Dade battle was the first of Billy's many fights. In It he slow sev eral white men and, by reokless cour age as well as by Seminole cunning he wop then a fame that was soon to, spread throughout the United States. Osceola had wrought terror and desolation from one end of the Seml nolo country to the otfter. When he was treacherously seised while going to a conference under a flag of truce, the government thought It would be easy to force his leaderless tribesmen into submission,, But the war-fires Osceola had lighted were not to be so easily quenched. For years the confilct dragged on before the author ities were able to ship the sullen Semlnoles west, to tho reservation laid out for them. As it was, about 860 of the fiercest refused to go and managed to escape the government's agents by hiding in tho Everglades. These re bellious Semlnoles chose Billy Bow legs for their sachem, or head chief. Many years had passed since the Dade fight and Billy had grown to full manhood. He was a crack shot, a warrior of marvelous strength and endurance, and had, moreover, the fooulty of escaping fron every tight place In which hechanced to find him self. This last-named quality led hlB superstitious followers to believo Billy had the power to make himself- Invis ible. At one time he secrotly lqd a party of his braves on a sixty-mile march away from their Everglades Btronghold to Lake Klsslmmee, where nt daylight he fell upon the fort there and well-nigh carried it by storm bo fore the large garrison was fairly awake. Beaten back at last by super ior numbers, he retreated in good or der. Captain Clarke, commandant of tho fort, led a party of soldiers in pursuit of the retreating Indians. This suited Billy Bowlegs perfectly. He en trenohed his men around a little hill, and poured forth such a galling, dead ly fire that the troops were beaten back with heavy loss. Reinforcements were hurried to the spot by General Harney, who hoped to catch the Seml noles before they could get baok to the safety of the Everglades. But Billy Bowlegs was too clever for him. The whole party had vanished by the time the government reinforcements oame up. The war department, angry at the Seminole leader's audacious raids, sent a big expedition under Colonel Loom Is to crush him. Loom! a divided his foroo and attacked the Everglades from many different points. OnfijCOSfc. pany was so fortunate as to come upon a party of Indians whq were car rying their wives and children to a plaoe of safet7. Billy Bowlegs was leading the fugitives. " The troops gal loped down upon the Indians, shoot ing, slashing and capturing. But when the smoke of battle cleared away it was found that Billy Bowlegs had escaped ? as usual. Force, diplomacy, trickery, bribery, were all tried against him in vain. Billy could not be oaoght. At length, Uttle by little, hlB best fol lowers were killed or Imprisoned, and the brave old chief was shorn of all his power. He was obliged, for the saite of tne Semlnoles who remained, to sue for peace. With 1W of his peo ple he was sent to Indian Territory. But the surrender broke his proud heart.- Within a few months after his removal from the Everglades he died. Bridge Entirely of Bamboo. In Java the government engineers have reoently constructed a road bridge more than & hundred feet long, with a central spiuk of orer 60 feet, entirely of bamttob. The roadbed la composed of bamboo matting, which will be oovered with a layer of dry earth. In profile the bridge 'resembles a steel structure, but all the members are bamboo rods. It is estimated that such a bridge i&uld be good for 10 or 16 yefurs. There are two Iliads of bamboo used In build! n? and cabinet making In the cast, one harlilg solid and the other hollow stems. The solid, seen In Japanese furniture, Is tifaoh smaller <Vhan v the hollow, but both belong to fee Mine apsdaa. fn. vhe construction bamboo houses no nails ars used. *flMbsr with ^skla ct SwIm hvoegnUe Good Thing.
