The other day he was taken with severe toothache, ami sent lu great hastu for old Doe Nallor, the only physician in the neighborhood. Nallor wa principally a horse doctor, and wa best known a i knocker out of blind teeth. This, of course, gavu him reputa tion as a dentist. It was late lu the even ing when he arrived at Fogg's house, and without stopping to light u eauilhi soused bis tongs into old Fugg'H mouth and snatched out a tooth. "My gum," said the doctor, when he had examined the tooth by the light that eame lu at the window, "if I haven't pulled the wrong one I'm a jack rabbit." Old Fogg dlilu'tsayauytliitig, but opened his mouth for another pull. This time the right tooth came out. "Ah, we'reall right now," said thedoctoras he wiped his tongs. Three days later, whllu the doctor wan sitting on hi porch, old Foitg dismounted at the gate. "Coiiui in, Brother Fogg." Unit her Fogg camu in, ami, walking up, snatched out a ra.or and cut olT one of Nailer's ears. ".Merciful heavens!" exclaimed thu doc tor, "what have you done?" "Why," Fogg replied, "1 have cut off the wrong ear," ami scl.itig the doctor cut nir the other ear, and, as lie wiped tlm ra.or, remarked: "Got the right one that time, I reckon." Arkansas Traveler. A llulllcstlo Trliil. Young Mrs. II i very luml of giving little dinners, and I very aiixiuii that every detail should bo llawless. She wa entertaining a couple of friend in her fa voritu way the other night, and the chick ens were brought upon the table rousted to a turn. A thu host thrust his carver Into a joint a puz.led look spread over hi face, which wa anxiously observed by his wife. Finally there waa no bearing It in silence, mid Mr. I) turned to his better half in quiringly. Mrs. II remarked uneasily: "I cannot understand it; Blank ha never treated mu before like this. His poultry is always to be relied upon. Mary," turning to the waitress, "did the cook order roasting chicken!'" "Sure and imladeshu did!" Mrs. Ii turned to her guests appeal Ingly: "Does your butcher ever do such a thing? Mary, are you sure she said roast ers, not fowls?" "And ludadultoiightto busuru Oiimi, for Ol se. it mesilf.

U'liii inmHiif liiuli, n.i'l Inn nml Himii.t lilmr like civil war In Chili comes to Americans of '.lie ninth a an unpleasant surprise, for ttxy have considered Chill thu most Ur du r 1 y of t h n Spanish American count! ic. In I HIU the Culled Stales sent to Chill all unusually well equipped expedi tion, for the pur iose of making astronomical ami sclenlllle observa tlon. It remain ed t here three )car, and Its of Hi. Inl ritlmrl. my. PltKSItlKST IIAI.MASIMIA.,,,,,,, ' ,,,.,., rarely necorded to government publlca Huns, Folluw lug this came various pupular productions by attachi of the expedition and others, and at the same time a large trade between Chill and the newly opened milling legions of California, all showing many points of dllleiclne between Chill and our nearer neighbors on thu south. Thu most Important, perhaps, was that theie had been very Utile mixture of blood, ami so the Chilian proper were ami aru about a purely Aryan a the people of the United States, The Araucanlans of Chill, alunuof all American Indians, held their ground against F.uropeans, and after '.'(Ml years of war the Spaniards enteieil Into an honorable treaty with them, and they remain practically Independent tothl day. Thecllmate Is favorable to the energy of the whiles, andof lateyearsthecountr) bus made great progress. Since 1H.YJ the gov eminent has been stable, though from INH to 1871 Chill and Peru a allies were at war with Spain. The recent war between Chill ami Peru ended In luunplete prostra tion of the latter, but it milled unduly tu the power of the executive, and theattempt of President Balliiaseda to iuciease and prolong that power appears to have been the cause of the pieseul trouble. The presidential term I for IImi )ears; Ids will expire next September, ami in hlsdeslie fora reelection he claimed the right to manage thu whole election machinery, ex clude a part of the people from I lie ft an ehise, hae "troops at the polls" and all that suit of thing. Hence the le'ielliuti. Chill extends from thu hot desert near the equator to within twelve degieesof the antarctic circle, and from the level of the sea to the summit of the Amies (average I'.', 000 feet, high), and has there fore every variety of climate and proline tlon. The plateaus, houcxer, and high valleys, where the whiles ehlclly reside, aru temperate ami healthful. The popula tion Is glMti at 3,000,xrj ami the general condition quite good, the natural resources being veiy great. FOn HOME ENTI-nTAINMENT.

The following will lie found suited for a club or coterie of ft lends who desire to make their meetings of intellectual prollt as well as pleasure. Arrange a tourist party, the Idea being foi'each guest tu lep resent in costume siiinti country or prov inces, and contribute appiopriate selec tions to the evening's programme. A TOUItlST I'AltTV. If thu entertainment Is to bo given at home state in your Invitation what is ex pected of the guests; if given by a club, of course the necessary explanation will I mi made verbally to thu members. Let each dress as nearly as possible lu the costume of the country chosen. After the costume is under way Investigation will bring to light home description of the countryor Its people, some good story not too long which shall hit off the national character istics, some interesting historical narrative, or a line selection from a representative writer or poet. Select something of gen eral Interest ami to the point a regards thu nationality represented, If one Isa good dialect reader, a recitation or reading af fording scope for that talent would help to nuiLe a pleasing variety in the programme. For a gentleman repre.entlug Japan thu costume should bu a loose silk robe ex-t-mliiig from thu neck to thu feet, ami fastened at tlie waist by an elaborate gir dle. A louse widu sleeved Jacket is worn over this. Of course sateen or any similar material miuht bu substituted for thu silk. Tlm feet me Incased ill white stockings and straw sandals. A selection from "The Mi kado" would Im an appiopriate contribu tion to the programme. Thu costume of the .Japanese women I very similar to that of thu men. Paint and powder ate used lavishly for thu face, and the hair, which 1 worn high, i plentifully adorned with ornamental pin. placed at every conceivable angle. A typical Chinaman in the everyday walks of life wears short, wide trousers and a sort of sucquc reaching nearly to thu km.'., tlie material being either cotton or silk. White stockings and toe slippers of silk or cotton and having very thick sole aru also worn. A wig would Imi necessary in order to have thu queue. The gentle man taking such a diameter might read thu "Heathen Chinee." Thu Chinese woman wears a costume of the same pattern, but, thu material i usn ally black Tlie hair i dressed like thu Japanese with the same ahuudauceof plus A short sketch of the life or the teaching of Confucius would 1st interesting.
