Whouowirn Mor referred to mo I bought
somo coplos, nnd, having sent ono to my dear
ono, I rnivfully cut out tho oxecrpt from nn
other copy nnd panted It, by menus of somo
loud nnd cxtrouioly olTouslvu paste, on tho
ngc. Thus 1 lllletl nt last n whole voltimo
of tho ri'iHii ts of tho commissioner of educa
tion with paragraphs In which it was stated
with mora or less tyogrnphlcul liinceiirncy
that I was "hi town nud quartered nt Riley's
liotol," or that I was "on our streets," or that
1 "shook hands with friends hero yesterday,"
or that I was "attending tlio quarterly con
ference in town," ninl many other state
ments which would bo Invalunhlo us icfer

lnrgcr book In which I kept tho ndverso crit
icisms of tho press, paragrnphs lu which
I wns nlluded to (is "tho intollcctunl
wnrt on tho editorial pngo of Tho
Sassafras Commonwealth," nnd "tho
Ilea bitten fugltlvo from justlco who
edits tho porous plastor ncross tlio street."
Whenever my feelings wcro wounded I put
tho Itom In tho lnrgo book nnd kept It whero
my children could boo It when I shouldrcst
from my lnltors forever. 1 thought It would
teaeh them humility and really do them
good. Tlio other book I used to keep on tho
center tablo for tho uso of visitors. If I had
n visitor who had tho habit of putting lu n
day or two nt n tlmo conversing with mo
nbouthlnikolf I generally nsked him toglnuco
over this scrap book, nnd whllo ho wns doing
bo 1 would slip out nud tnko n train for somo
other point. It is u good plan.
Just keep nn egotistical ecrnp book, using
tho sourest nasU you can procure, nnd whon
Lniiinii Insists on giving you largo bales nnd
mowsful of Information about hlmsolf whon
you would rather convcrso about votirself,
hand him this liook to entertain himself with

Finally I heard of n now patent scrap book
with ready gummed pages, nnd l bought ono.
Tho prleo was big enough for iv set of
Dickens, but I had heard that it wai a good
thing, nnd bo I got It. Then a period of hu
midity emtio nlong nud that book closed for
ever. It wouldn't open nuy more than u
mnrblo slnb.
1 waited till autumn and then got another
ono. My wlfn lllletl it full of nutumu leaves.
Thoy wcro not fully dry. Sho thon put a
heavy weight on tho top. Wo still havo tlio
Bcrap book nnd tho leaves, but tho book opens
with a tlmo lock, nnd tho tlmo sot for it to
open is n profound secret between Gabriel
nud his wife.
Lately I havo ndopted tho plan of purchas
ing Boveral thousand matilln envelopes, put
ting each uowspapcr clipping into ono of
thoso envelops, and then writing tho tltlo on
tlio outside, I thou hlro u houso nnd, by us
ing tho gummed flaps of tho en voloiws, fasten
them lu rows tastefully on tho Inner walls of
tho house, marking n general heading over
each row by menus of red chalk. This gives
tbo room n cheery nppenmnco, adds to tho
acoustics of tho houso nnd is certainly very
convenient Dy menus of u step ladder I nm
cnnbled to select anything I deslro rendlly,
nnd tho spneo usually fooled away and cov

tures is luado highly useful.
Sometimes I hnvo to hlro nn nmanuonslsto
do this work, nnd it is not dono tho soma
way I would do It myself. Last year I went
nwny for u few months to glvosome readings
in nld of n fowpoor children for whom I
feel myself responsible, nnd, whllo absent,
I had n young man named Pulaski Murkloy
nttoud to this. Ho wns very methodical nud
wroto n good hnnd, ns 1 afterwards learned
by comparing somo of my own signatures at
tho bank with somo btudles w hich ho hnd
mado of tho same subject. Thoy wcro bottor,
If anything, than iny own, I must admit,
nud tho cashier nt tho bank agreed with mo

ABItASION OF THE TEETH.
The abovu cut shows tho teeth of n man 45
rears of ago, from Dr. llcll In 1B3I. Wo meet
with this affection In the teeth lu arlous forms
and de (trees. The ends ot the crowns teem
vwj oft, having a low degree of vitality ami
wear down allowing ndark yellowish cupped
ipotjn tho center. Many aro bo faollih as to
i" 'hat molar teeth aro of llttlo account,
, ret them so bv default; after which all
the force ot tho muscles are extended to tho
front tceti, wearing them down rapidly.
The best, and orly remedy. Is to cover and
buildup the ends with cold and platinum,
wh'ch near like steel and laves them many
rears. Wo make a specialty of fine Rold work

For such teeth wo havo two remedies! First
To fill Hut pits hi the mils with gold. Sec

We use Jostles' and White's patent teeth
with long, heavy pins, mounted on strong

To loose the front teeth, Is to loose half
