IRON TRADE CONDITIONS.
Report of the Revievi Por the Past
Week.
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.

FALSE TEETH FOR SOLDiERS,
A British Dentist Thinks Prevdntlon
Better Than Cure.
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

that they came off without the salad.
It always transpires that they had pro.

salt and boiled eggs-Atchison Gilobe.
