There live lu north Alabama a peculiar
old fellow named .lelT Fogg. 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 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,

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

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

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.
Ilnw n I'm I) of I'rlinits .Mu) I'usii ii Very
I'leiisunl I'.vinliii;.
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.
A good pianist might well wearthe char
acteristic com lime of (Scruiuuy and play
one of Mendelssohn's "Song Without
I Words" or Beethoven's son.it is.
France's icprc-eutatlve wo ild llud avast

Victor Hugo.
Ituly, the land of song, should surely !.
the chosen country of one wbosu voice
Klvcs pleasure to her friends.
A varied pi ogi limine ami one full of inter
est might thus U- arranged, mid tbeevn
lug lie most enjoyabl) spent.
Descriptions of cost nines, a few of which
have U-eii hinted at, may 1st found in books
ou the various countries, stories of travel
