PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAL.
Cardinal MazzofantL tho linguist,
who is said to have known a hundred
languages, declared that ho never for
got a word he had onco learned.
Mr. Chase, tho Quaker Senator
from Khodo Island, is credited with
this remark: "Tho longer I ara in pub
lic tho more I ain convinced that tem
per is tho ono thing which overy man
should have, should ulways keep, and
never let his neighbor know that he
has it."
iBaiah V. Williamson, of Philadel
phia, is reported to bo tho wealthiest
bachelor in tho United States. Ho has
a fortuno of twenty million dollars and
gives away a largo portion of it annu
ally in charities. Ho is a plainly
dressed old gentleman, very modest
and retiring in his ways.
Charles Primeau, tho aged inter
preter at tho Standing llock Agency in
Dakota, was an early , Indian trader
among tho Sioux in tho Northwest.
Ho had many perilous nnd exciting ad
ventures, sometimes barely escaping
with his life, and onco had 100,000 of
property destroyed in a twinkling by
tho savages.
One of tho brightest and most
earnest of tho students at tho Baptist
Theological Seminary in Louisville was
formerly what is known as a "street
fakir." Ho finds that his experience
in lauding tho virtues of patent modi
cines beforo street crowds has boen of
great help in developing his oratorical
powers for tho pulpit.
As a rule, donation parties aro a
terror and an over-living apprehension
to pastors, but a parson at Reno, Nov.,
find himself an exception. Fifty of
his parishioners camo to his houso re
cently with provisions sufficient
almost, to tide him over next winter,
und, in addition, thoy loft behind them
on a tablo a deep glass filled with gold
and silver.
Clara Morris, beingconvincod that
no speaker hears hisownvoico exactly
as others hear it, theorized that by
speaking into a phonograph and then
turning a cnlnk she wWd nav7Ceor
rect idea of her declamations. Her
experiments have not been exactly
successful, as tho repeated tones lack
tho volume of the original utterances,
but there is said to bo a precise mim
icry of emphasis, inflection and tone.
Mr. George W. Childs, of Phila
delphia, has given another evidence of
his generosity nnd nrtistic taste, and
in this caso a tributo of affection as
well, in tho gift of a memorial window
of General Grant to St Luke's Meth
odist Episcopal Church at Long Branch,
tho church that both attended whilo
sojourning there. A life-size bust
portrait of General Grant in uniform
occupies tho center of tho window,
supported on cither side by a full
sized figure, ono representing Mourn
ing and tho other Peace, whilo above
floats a figure cmblematlo of Glory,
surmounted by the historic sentence,
"Let Us Have Peace." As tho baso of
tho window is the inscription: "Gen
eral Ulysses S. Grant. Erected by his
friend, George W. Childs, as a token
of his affection,"
"A LITTLE NONSENSE."

TEETH WHILE YOU WAIT.
How tke Dentist Trln to Defy Tim a
Well an Nature.
"Four and live dollars sets of teeth
mado while waiting."
That is a portion of :m advertisement
that caught a reporter's eye and caused
a visit to tho olllco of the donti.it who
had inserted it.
Many men doubtless remember that
certain of thoir relatives remained in
solitary confinement for from two to
three- weeks whilo waiting the arrival
of tho ideal sot of grinders. Is it possi
ble that ono can havo one's own worth
less tcoth removed, an impression of
tho mouth taken, and new teeth fitted,
and all within an hour or two's time?
Tho dentist, when asked that ques
tion, answered affirmatively, "xou
Bce,usaid ho, "dentistry is progressing
Ilko overy thing else, and it is an
overy-day occurrence for mo to get up
a llvo dollar sot ot teeth in an Hour
and a half. Although it would bo
much hotter if. alter having teeth ex
tracted, tho patient would wait a week
until tho mouth heals nnd tho bono
which surrounds the teeth be dissolved.
still there aro ever ?o many who como
hero and will endure thu discomfort
and pain which of necessity follows a
quick operation rather than depart
toothless.
How do I do it so quickly? Well,
by a method of process I use in vul
canizing or 'cookiug' tho rubber used
for the plate, which reduces that
usually long proces to an hour's time.

Tho price of a false feet of tenth depone
almost entirely on the number aad
fllzo of the platinum pins which tho
teeth contain, and tho quality and tex
ture of tho porcelain used.
"Then, too. tho small manufacturers
of cheap teeth are continually cutting
ono another's throat, and tho peoplju
get tho benefit. Tho dentist has very
littlo to do in determining tho price.
Countrymen nnd fanners buy nioro
falso teeth than do any other class of
people. You pee, Mrs. Jones, for in
stance, has the toothache, comes to
town, and, after frantic attetnps to get
rid of tho pain, ha all her tcoth pulled,
and with a beautiful now tot, with
perhaps a little gold filled in front, re
turns to her village or farm. Mrs.
Smith sees Mrs Jones' tccth.-nnd not
content to Iw without any thing that
Mrs. Jones has, she. too, comes to
town and has porcelain substituted for
bono.
"Country people don't take proper
or even decent care of their teeth;
and, besidos, thoy cat too much pie.
And they, too. aro tho people who
want their teeth served up in an hour's
time. A countryman comes to tho city
expecting to do shopping for 'tho folks
at home,' take in the town, and pro
fide himself, and perhaps tho family,
iwith a set of teeth, and all in ono day.
Sometimes he is successful, too.
"Negroes carry a good deal of porce
lain and gold in their mouths, too, but
they almost invariably want tho most
expensive ets. insisting upon gold
plates nnd plenty of gold filling. I
have made a number of sets for ne
groes which cost one hundred dollars.
But in a year's time a negro will man
ago to break tho best set that I can
Xnake, and then, of course, he receive
bill for repairs.
"The gold plates are. of course, in
comparably better than the rubber of
the celluloid, end if n patient can afford
them I always advise iheir use." -NT.
