CURES FOK ou f HACHE. Remedies That Do Xot Appeal to the Ordinary 3ian Today. The HL?.r. in denta I anguish some times curses with Burns 4 the venom ed stang that shoots his tortured gums aiang." Sometimes, or the other hand, he prays. St Augustine in his "Con fessions" relates how he once suffered from "dolor dentium" (toothache), ap parently in an aggravated form, for he could iiot speak. Thereupon he 'wrote on was a prayer to God for the x>ther brethren to repeat, and as soon as all were on their knees the pain went "But what a pain!" he says. '"Never since my tender age bad I ex perienced the like." Southey in his "life of John Wesley" tells of that eminent preacher that when his own tooth ached he prayed and the pain left him. Unfortunately ordinary men do not seem to have such efficacious faith. When the excruciation begins, they must bear it philoscphically, and on Shakespeare's authority toothache finds out Just the Weak place in the philosopher's armor of patience. In the middle ages the devout who were racked with pain had a special patron to whom they could call for deliver ance. St Apollonia, a martyr under the emperor Philip, among other cruel indignities had her teeth pulled ont In consequence she became tooth ache's tutelary, saint as her emblems one of which is "holding a tooth in pmcmere"?sufficiently testify. And there would seem to have been yet another martyr, St Blaize, who took cognizance of the disease. He was honored in the little town of St Bla aey, in Cornwall, where candles of fered upon his altar were supposed to ~be an infallible cure for toothache.? Chambers' Journal. COUGH'S QUICK WIT. A Retort That Silenced an Interrap r\*??- tion In the Audience. Au effort of *one of John Gough's "tours of the west was to arouse his converts to a politicali movement in fa irer of prohibition, and in several states the politicians began to give considera tion to the cry. The distillers and liq uor dealers are said to have been so frightened that they employed men to Xol?ow the lecturer, sit among the audi ence and endeavor to confound him with questions. He had worked a ZTopeka (Kan.) audience up to a fine pitch of excitement and in his effective manner cried: "Temperance! Temperance! Tem perance! It will mean money in your pocket clothes on your back, happiness in your home and God in your heart!" Up leaped one of the paid interrupt ers and shouted to the audience: "Honey in your pockets? Why, fel low citizens, follow this man's ideas &z? we'll be all in the poorhouse! Think of the fields of tasseled corn that stretch on every side! Whisky is ~~*3nade from corn. We sell millions of dollars' worth of. cora to the whisky "makers. Stop th? manufacture of .whisky,; and whaFU we do?" Then, turning to Gough, he went on: "You, Mr. Smarty?what'll we do ^Tell us, if prohibition comes, what'll we do with our corn?' "Kaise more hogs, my friend," re plied Gough without a second's hesi tation?"raise more hogs ?Philadel phia Times. Her One Snecess. *^ the civil war time a western wo man who had lost her husband in the field and who hoped to win a livelihood Yor herseif and her little ones by writ ing sent to Harper's Magazine a story which had no special distinction and was returned. In the desperate mood that followed this rejection she sat tiown with pen afiame and told "why I wrote it" and her story under that ti tle was accepted and published, win ning a sympathetic response from all its readers. But this production, the echo of a vital moment, was her one story in the magazine. Oliver Wendell Holmes said that anybody could write tme interesting novel if he could truly teH the story of his own life.?Harper's Magazine ? ? ^~ Obeyed Orders. "What was the cause of that awful racket and disturbance in your office Just before you came?" asked one of the tenants on the third floor. "You know that young cowboy that came yesterday to begin the study of law with me?" said the other. "Yes." "Well, I thought he might as well be gin at the bottom, and I told him that when he came down this morning the first thing for him to do would be to dean out the office. He found half a dozen fellows there waiting for me, ?rat he did it all right"?Chicago Trib une. A Clear Cut Warning. "Young ladies," said an absentmind ed teacher of Latin to his ciass in Vir gil.

'Why They Are Xot as Beautiful as They Once Were. The girls of Kashmir in fermer times were sold and carried away to the Punjab, in India. They commanded a large price, and parents in moderate circumstances for centuries past have been in the habit of parting with their daughters to place themselves in easier circumstances, and the daughters ha^ve generally been quite willing to escape from a life of penury and labor to one of opulence and ease. A laboring man in this part of India cannot earn over $2 or $3 a month, while many receive for their daughters as high as $1.000. There are some case's -where $5.000 was paid, but the usual price has been from $100 to $500. The practice became so common as well as so damaging that a severe law was enacted prohibiting any one from removing any woman from the coun try, but it is said that the business goes on now as it has done for hun dreds of years, and to that practice may be charged the fact that the wo men of Kashmir are not as beautiful as they once were. The process of taking all the beauti ful girls away, leaving only the ordi nary and ugly ones to continue the race, has lowered the standard of beau ty. Most of the -women and girls per form field labor as much as the men. and their dress is of the coarsest and plainest materials, consisting of a gar ment like a nightgown made of white cotton- There is no effort to have it fit The condition of women in'Kashmir is a very sad one, but one from which there does not seem to be any present escape. It is a constant struggle to live, without the least hope of any ac cumulation or of ever seeing better days. The men only receive about 5 cents a day and the women generally about 3 cents, and that will provide only the coarsest food.?Philadelphia Inquirer. PICKINGS FROM FICTION. ~ ?

There are many useful purposes to which rosin can be applied outside of those of general practice. As, a non conductor of heat it is used in the pro tection of water pipes, particularly in crossing bridges, where the pipe is laid in the middle of a long box and the whole filled with melted rosin. Rosin is also used in supporting basement floors in machine shops, which may be laid over some dry material, as spent molding sand, which is carefully lev eled off, and the planking iaid upon temporary supports separating it about two inches above the sand. Numerous holes about two inches in diameter being bored through these planks, melted rosin is forced through them by means of funnels until the whole space is solidly filled, and then the upper flooring is laid upon these planks. In case the floor is subjected to shocks sufficient to break the rosin it rapidly joins together again in much the same manner as the regelation of ice. The Dragron Slayer. At an. English school a pompous youngster whose father, it was well known, had been a successful omnibus driver was one day fingering ostenta tiously a large seal which he is in the habit of wearing, representing St George and the dragon, and, having drawn the attention of a school com panion to it, remarked carelessly: "Ah, one of my ancestors is supposed to have killed the dragon, don't you know!" "Good gracions?' inquired the other, somewhat anxiously. "Did he run over it?"?London Answers. Sympathy. Ted's mamma had a birthday recent ly and received as a present from o::e of her friends a ten dollar bill. Accom panying the money was a note in which the writer, after explaining that she couldn't think of anything tasteful to buy and had therefore sent the cash, made some tender references to by gone days and dear old scenes. While the recipient was sitting with the bil in one hand and the letter in the o?he* and permitting tears to drip down up on both Ted went up to her and, put ting his arms around her neck, ten derly asked: "What's the matter, mamma? Isn't the money good?"?New York Com mercial Advertiser. Proctor's Finest Speech. Senator Proctor of Vermont once said the finest speech he ever made consisted of only four words.
