AMERICAN RECKLESSNESS.
A Frenchman B»y* We Are All Rich—
Who Know* Dentists.
A Frenchman who has been travel
ing in this country says that what
struck him most in the United States
was the American habit of filling the
teeth with gold. About $500,000 worth
of gold is thus used every year, he
sftys, all of which, of course, is buried.
So he figures that at the end of three
centuries the cemeteries of America
will contain gold to the value of $150,
000,000. “I am afraid,” he adds,
‘‘that this will prove too tempting to
the practical mind of the future
American, and we shall see the day
when companies will be organized
to mine the cemeteries and recover
the gold secreted in the jaws of dead
ancestors.” The writer then goes on
and figures up the average amount of
gold in the teeth of each dead person.
He has evidently been consulting the
record of vital statistics, for he says
that 875,000 people died in the United
States in 1889. This would bring the
value of gold in each dead person’s
teeth to an average of about sixty
five and three-fourth cents, and he
thinks that in well crowded ceme
teries the mining of this gold could
be carried on profitably despite the
small average value.
CAN’T BUY THE BARQAINS.
Saleswomen Mot Allowed to Take Ad
vantage of Bargain Sales.
I asked a young saleswoman who
served me in a large shop the other
day whether the employes of the es
tablishment were allowed to take ad
vantage of the “bargain sales” in
buying goods.
“I can’t speak for any other places,”
was her reply, “but I know that we’re
not
_ ‘‘Why, what chance would the pub
lic have satter we'd had a whack at
the counter?
“There are over 600 women and
girls employed here, and the cream
of the bargains would be gone before
the customers had fought their way
through the front door.
“Of course, if we’re smart we can
send people here to buy for us.
“One girl did this some time ago,
but her friend got lost in the shuffle
and couldn’t crowd her way to the
counter.
“So Mary Ann—she worked next to
me—got so wild that she gathered up
the things that she wanted and waved
’em at the woman as much as to say:
'Come on, why don’t you?’
“But the floorwalker saw the whole
business, and it was ‘good-by, Mary
Ann.’”
THE OLD LOQ SHANTY.
*■ iub tenement in
the Coal Region*
One charm of the anthracite coal re
gion of Pennsylvania has almost dis
appeared, and that is the oomfortable
and even picturesque log shanty of
the Irish miner. The best of these
were well chinked from the weather,
and within their flattened logs were
whitewashed and spotless. The floor
was scrubbed until it was nearly as
white as the walls. On one side was
a great fireplace, with a large grate
piled high with perhaps 100 pounds of
glowing anthracite. Wrinkled old
Irish women, in the whitest of
starched caps, sat in front of the grate
knitting stout blue woolen stockings.
To the tiny breaker boys coming
home on winter nights after a
hard day’s work these shan
ties, with their cheerful fires,
were welcome resting places,
where they might stand in front of
the fire unrebuked while black
streams ran from their grimy boots
over the shining floor. The shanties
have given place to formal tenements,
and the Irish miners are retreating
before thousands of even poorer la
borers from continental Europe.
Fen and Ink Unfashionable.
A new fashion that is just begin
ning to grow in vogue is that of writ
ing letters in pencil rather than with
pen and ink, and when once it is
fairly established it is doubtful 1
whether anything but legal docu
ments and business papers that must
be preserved will ever be prepared in
the old style.. Letters are generally
shorter nowadays than they formerly I
were; are more hastily written, more
frequent and seldom worth keeping
for any length of time. They are not
the elaborate efforts of bygone days
that were often cherished for their
intrinsic worth. The pencil, which is
far more convenient than the pen, is
j taking its place in the great mass'of I
casual correspondence.
LAZIEST MAN ON RECORD.
■I* rad AppwruH Atoms*
Carloaity rad CmaMt
The stranger, a Mr. Burr, produced
a quiet sensation by arousing every*
body's curiosity. He came to the
hotel attended by an Arab servant,
who spoke only three words of Eng
lish. Tho newcomer had ample means,
evidently, and loved his ease. He
had no acquaintances in the hotel and
made none. He drove about consid
erably and lolled in the reading-room
or In the vestibule in an easy chair
carried by his servant. He said very
little, ate in his room, smoked occa
sionally in public, the servant always
attending and attentive to his wants.
Ho seldom used his legs, and never
used his arms at all, carrying them
both in a sling.
This was the point over which the
fancy of the observers exercised
itself. They couldn’t understand it.
Nobody, of course, liked to speak
about it to the man himself, and the
servant might as well havo been dumb,
as he spoke only Arabic. There was
never a more completely mystified set.
The man was burned brown, perhaps
by oriental suns; he was well and
carefully dressed, was never in any
hurry.novor surprised,never irritated,
but always comfortably self-posed, at
peace with all the world, and as placid
as still waters that run deep.
Everybody was certain that there
was something beyond this—some ro
mance or notable intrigue or some
mystery more subtile than either;
perhaps a crime of a rare Eastern
order,tin which love and sharp blades
and poison took park It was beyond
all question that he had not come out
of the affair as he had entered, as
both arms in a sling bore witness.
Some held to the notion that he had
been1 hanged and revivified, arriving
at this conclusion by observing his
habit of always resting his head on
the back of his chair; some suggested
Spanish witchcraft, others India hyp
notism, but tho vast majority could
not agree on anything in particular,
and consequently drifted in their opin
ions from time to time.
Colonel O-, well known every
where, entered ithe hotel one day,
nodded to the stranger, sat down be
side him, and conversed quietly for an
hour in French. Nearly everybody,
of course, knows French, but it so
happened that nobody near by could
catch a word of the conversation, be
cause the two talked scarcely above a
whisper.
The stranger paid his account and
left next day, and in the evening
when Colonel O-called again and
asked for Mr. Burr he seemed not in
cAio icoou ompiacu mi mo lriuuu tus
appearance.
••Pardon me, colonel, but he’s a
singular man," somebody remarked.
. ■•Rather,” replied the colonel.
“A great traveler, I presume?”
“No; he comes over from England
once a year. ”
“Know him a long while P”
“AH my life.”
“He's had quite an adventurous ca
reer?”
“I shouldn’t think so.”
“Well, he certainly produced a sen
sation here.”
“Why, prayP”
“Oh, I mean he interested us allP”
“That’s the case everywhere.”
“Indeed! But he hardly ever spoke.”
••That’s his way.”
“We all concluded that there must
have been a curious accident-”
“He never had a mishap in his life.”
“But the arms, eolonel?”
“Oh, I forgot I am soused to see
ing him I forgot how the thing im
presses others.”
“What thing?”
“I mean the way ho carries his
arms.”
“That’s the very point, colonel."
“Oh, I see! Why, my friend sim
ply carries his arms in a sling be
cause he’s too lazy to carry them in
any other way.”
A Dowry on Approval
A curious custom prevails among
Roumanian peasants. When a Rou
manian girl is of a marriageable age
all her trousseau (which has been care
fully woven, spun and embroidered by
her mother and herself) is placed in a
painted wooden box. When a young
man thinks of asking her to be al
lowed to pay his attentions to the girl
he is at liberty first to open the box,
which is always placed conveniently
near, and examine the trousseau. If
the suitor is satisfied with the quan
tity and quality of the dowry he
makes a formal application for the
girl’s hand, but if, on the contrary,
the trousseau does not please him, he
is quite at liberty to retire.—London
Woman.
One Way to <>et Revenge.
“If I were only a judge!” exclaimed
the young man, as he picked himself
up at the foot of the front door steps,
and looked up at the closing door,
clenching his fists and gritting
his teeth ferociously. “And what
would you do. if you were one?”
asked a sympathetic passer-by,
stopping to help him brush off the
dust. "Fine that confounded old
fellow $50 for contempt of court!” the
young man answered, viciously. And
then he straightened the chrysanthe
mum in his buttonhole and sadly
walked away.—Somerville Journal.

*•**•» or • Thief That Ro BU to Bo
Tried Without • Soarf Flo
In on Eastern state . there has been
a series of barn burnings, whloh bad
destroyed thousands of dollars' worth
of property. In some eases residences
and stores had caught fire, and there
was no end to the damage. Fine
horses and vehicles, hay, grain of
every sort, and the odds and ends of
property whloh is generally stored in
barns till went The citizens of tho
little village were greatly Incensed
and left no means untried to catch
the offender. Finally, during the
thirteenth Are, the guilty man and
his oonfoderate wero caught. Popu
lar indignation ran so high that had
the crime occurred In Kentucky, tho
men wonld have been lynched. But
they were thrown into jail to await
trial. The day before the trial a
prominent man called upon the chiof
offender's wife and found her orylng
bitterly.
He looked about in vain for some
means of comforting her, but could
only pat her on the shoulder ai|d say:
“There, Mra S—, don’t take on so.
Maybe they’ll dear him," though
down in his heart he hoped they
wouldn’t. But she only wailed
louder.
“Oh, it isn’t that. But to think
Urn’s to be tried to-morrow before a
big crowd of people and he hasn't got
any stickpin for his necktie. He is
awful proud, Jim is, and when he was
arrested he told me to get him a
stickpin if I could, but I haven't been
able to save a cent. Oh, it’s awful to
be so poor.”
And the kind-hearted man actually
took out a dollar and told her if she
could find a stickpin at that price to
get it for Jim to-wear at court and
save the family pride.
QUITE TRUE.
Rut Then It Dm an Unfortunate Re
mark of Hie.
In an amateur theatrical society
there came a crisis. There was to be
i performance on Monday, and on
Saturday, after what had been in
tended for the last rehearsal, it was
plainly and painfully and awfully
evident that another rehearsal was
needed. The matter was talked over
*s only matters of such grave, of
such stupendous importance can be
talked over. There was an element
which in the desperate circum
stances came out boldly for a Sunday
rehearsal, and opposed to this were
those who firmly declared that rather
than have a Sunday rehearsal they
in nil 1H nrafer tn ana ftin omsianw otv.
ciety disappear in the most profound
oblivion.
The Sunday rehearsal faction had
as its advocate a woman who pre
sented her argument with vigor and*
eloquence, but she could not sbake
the rock on which stood the leaders
Df the opposition, two venerable maid
ens, who with numerous biblical quo
tations fortified their position regard
ing the observance of Sunday.
“But,” cried the woman who was
resolved to be Napoleonic in the
emergency, “did not our Lord say
that the Sabbath was made for men,
not men for the Sabbath?”
Then there was a pause. The
maidens gazed at each other. Each
felt that this was the time when the
lay must be saved. One of them
opened her lips to speak, and the
other heaved a great sigh of relief.
“That is true,” said she who re
plied, “but that was a very unfortun
ite remark of His.”
Slssa.
“Oh, that’s about a size too small
for you,” said the salesman in a cloth
ing establishment, as he critically
surveyed a coat into which he had
assisted a patron. “Yes, it is a bit
boo small,” asserted the other, taking
off the garment, “but, tell me just
how much is a size.” “In a coat,”
inch.’ “Is that so,” exclaimed the
customer. He had been living' nearly
32 years, was fairly intelligent, but
never knew the fact. And there
are thousands like him, who also do
not know, for instance, that a size in
underwear is two inches; in a sock,
an inch; in a collar, half an inch; in
Bhoes, one-sixth of an inch; in trous
ers, one inch; in gloves, a quarter of
an inch, and in hats, one-eighth.
I have heard from several sources,
and believe it to be true, that sixteen
students refused to take the oath of
allegiance, expecting naturally to be
sent to Siberia forthwith. The czar,
hearing of this, said: ‘‘If they refuse
to be my loyal subjects, let them
leave Russia within twenty-four
hours, and live elsewhere until they
have acquired another nationality.
Then they may return if they please
and finish their education.” The stu
dents were so astonished that they
immediately took the oath.
