The pitying, pained and bored ray In which the Englishman replied, That, my good fellow, is our river Thames,' served its purpose, and kept _ the colonel chuckling at Intervals for J..the remainder of the' day." ' A New England teacher ti aveHng a few years ago with a party of tour Htshad the pleasure of hearing a com neot on the notalwnys-lmpresslve Thames, uttered In all sincerity by id American of primitive type from the land of far-stretching prairies and ' ? the vast Mississippi. He had Infcer I lted a fortune, and to pl&ise his young | bride Had consented?to-a? honeymood trip abroad. Europe, he admitted, had tat some respects exceeded his expec tations, but in others it was distinctly tmsatlsfactory. . This river Thames, DOW? jn ? "Lizzie," lie demanded, turning to bu wife, "you sure this Is the Thames?" Lizzie was sure. "The Magna Charta Thames?" he pursued Insistently, Lizzie's guide book was In her h&nd and she was sure of that, too. "Weil," mused her husband In a meditative drawl i "it us Americans bid signed the Declaration of Inde pendence In Dan Skinner's medder, lay, or some such handy^ ?stretch of land along Skunk creek, mebbe, fer the sake of history, we'd have named the creek over and turned It Into a river.

Th'e last to be cut are the wisdom teeth, to about 47 per cent of adultsroue or ill four may never develop. An ul cerated tooth is an abscess at the root of the tooth. It Is caused by neglect of a decayed tooth. When the cavity extends too near the nerve In the cen ter of the tooth, the nerve becomes In lUned and toothaohe Is the result Thus the nerve and the decayed mate rial In the pulp cavity causes an aty ?cess at the tip of the root In the jaw bone. This may produce a gumboil or break through on the face, causing a ?car. It may produce serious results, u damage of jaw bone, blood poison ing, anemia, kidney trouble, hearty trouble, rheumatism or dther troubles depending upon the part of the body ?ffected by the poison absorbed. Bagdad's Change of Dress. The war has wrought a wonderful ehange in the people of BagdfCd, not the least of which Is their change of dress, according to the Times ot India, which say*: "In Bagdad today ths young bloods are showing a desire to ?dopt European dress, cannot Im agine why anyone should want to dis card the picturesque Arab headdress In exchanKo for a billycock hat, but Uere Is no accounting for taste. Re lief at getting rid of Turkish misrule bad presumably to be celebrated in ?ome way or other, and the acquisition ^ of a new suit of clothes, even If they ?re ready-made reach-me-downs, Is un doubtedly ?n event which would ap P**l to the nut of Bngdnd who, like ?Ms all over the world, wonts to be unlike his elders."

They si? about a tiny tire that has been bUlH on a stone base In the middle of the dirt floor, from Saturday night at sundown till Sunday noun, fasting and praying, but never speaking a word.

DRAWS MUSIC FROM A SAW New Yorker Gets Startling and Pieaa ing Effects by Using the Tool 0 M ft Violin. . The conventional saw 1ms recently appeared in a new role? namely, as a musical Instrument. Indeed, one of the leading novelties of a current New York musical revue, is the musical car penter who uses his saw as a violin: After protracted experimentation and untiring practice, Sam Moore of New York city has succeeded in get ary carpenter's saw, according to the Scientific American. He holds the saw handle between his legs, holds the tip of the.saw in one hand and works the usual viojin bow with the other. The vibrating steel blade emits soft, ap pealing notes, the pitch 6f which Is (varied by changing the curvature of the blade. All sorts of queer ^effects can be obtained by the adept manipulation of the blade; In fact, the music de rived by this means can hardly be de scribed. If anything, It resembles the human voice; then again it has the queer wail of the Hawaiian Ukulele. All In all, the effect is startling and pleasing. ' New Vegetable Ivory. A recent number of the French bul letin of the colonial office gtvep a de scription of anew form of vegetable ivory,' which can be used In European industry in place of the coroso. This tew substance is produced by the ker nel of an edible fruit growing upon a palm i of the upper Senegal-Niger ter ritory, the Borassds ethlaplcum. The kernel Is seven. or eight centimeters long and five centimeters broad, thus permitting the cutting of balls pr plates of considerable size to be used ? In marquetry, or the making of domi noes, piano keys, buttons, etc. The ker nel becomes extremely hard when thoroughly dried. As a proof of this it is stated that it is at the present mo ment being used as building stones for making of the houses of native chiefs, while it is expected that the future cathedral at Dakar will have tinted pillars constructed of these same ker nels. ? Scientific American Monthly. Seen In Piccadilly. A rough little pony in a coster's cart stood near a mansion in Piccadilly qo a chilly morning. A pile of logs for firewood was being unloaded and the pony was enjoying the warmth of a somewhat unusual loin-cloth flung over his back. It consisted of a handsome edging of fur attached to a musquash coat, which was seen to belong to a woman who was shifting the wood, who was 'coatless while she worked. So the little rough pony was sharing what was known a year ago as "mu nition overalls" ? because these hand some fur coats were the sign and signature of the girl munition work ers, whose sudden enormously In creased incomes enabled them to real ize the ambitions of their. life ? a fur coat as good as you please. And very handsome they were, and very well they became the owners ? and very contented the pony looked. 8erblana Adopt English Words. From a ry Oxonian In Belgrade, writ ing' to the London Spectator, we hear of the excursions of English words into Serbia. Some of them are slightly "fierbifled, but easily recognized. For example, "aeroplan," "budget,'' "klub," "miting," shtraik," "drednot." "Trans ?port" has made Its way unamended. "Submarine" has come In from the French in the form of "sumaren." Tanks are "tankovl." No Interpreta tion is necessary of the Serbian form of a world word, "fordovf." "What regtoir on thb en rth ts not full of yotrr labor." These are War words, but "djentleinanskl" entered Belgrade be fore the war.

There is much to be said for John Mil ten's. plan of a school whose pupils should go together each year on long 'horseback Journeys and sail log cruise* in order to see the world. ,, . . John Burroughs has a college on a little farm beside the Hudson And John Mulr has a university called the Yosemlte.
