The native s on some of tlu> Pacific islands, being provided with neither metals nor any stone harder than the coral rocks of which the atolls they inhabit are eontposed, would seem badly off, indeed, for material of whic h to make tools or weapons, were it not that their very necessity has bred an invention no less ingeni ous than curious and effective. This is nothing lc>> than the use of sharks’ teeth to give a cutting edge to their wooden knives and swords. The mouth of ilie shark contains 300 teeth, arranged in live rows, all closely lying upon each other, except the outer row, and so constructed that as one tooth is broken or lost another takes its place*. The teeth are not only pointed and keen-edged, nut an* finely and regularly aerated, so that the cutting power is greatly increased. Indeed, so great a fac ulty have these teeth for wounding, that the implements and weapons upon which they are used have to he handled with great care. The King mill islanders make many strange articles of sharks' teeth. NO USE FOR BEDS IN BAGDAD. About bn |K«r cent, of Bagdad's population possess no beds. These poor people rest on blankets spread on the Moors of their houses in the winter and on the roofs in the sum mer. Owing to the excessive heat of these regions sleep is made impos sible elsewhere than on the roof or in the open gardens. It is an interest ing sight to see how the women at sunset emerge from their houses to prepare the evening meal on the roof, and spread the bedding for the night. Inasmuch as tin' climate is very dry, there is little to fear from exposure to the night air. While a consider able number of the roofs are sur rounded by lattice work to insure a certain amount of privacy, by far the larger number are quite exposed to tin* gaze of curious and inquisitive neighbors. FAMOUS WOMEN OF OLD. Few things interest succeeding generations more than the love af fairs of bygone celebrities. Whatever our attitude may be toward those who in our day defy the conventions, there is no denying our consuming curiosity about famous women who in the past have strayed from the path of virtue. Of all the names, in deed. handed down to us in history, il is a significant fact that those which command our greatest inter est and sympathy are invariably those who, like Cleopatra and As pasia, Diane de Poitiers and Mary Queen of Scots, Lady Hamilton and the various women of the salons, were distinguished by conduct which .would not have permitted of their remaining on our visiting list to day.—Ladies' Field. THE GAMEY ALEWIVES. Tin* alewives are running at Por ter's mill stream, and will be up here in a day or two. These alewives are very gamev fish. The usual mode of catching them when you haven’t a good tlv is to wade out into the shallow water around the furnace or under Hills' mill, and grab them with your hands and sling them ashore. This method may not ap peal to the true sportsman, but does tlrst-rate for those who want to pickle a barrel or two of the juicy gaspereau. Calais (Me.) Adver tiser. NOT ITS MEDIUM. “Truth,” sententiously remarked the press agent, who had just prof fered a “true story that really hap pened,” “lies at the bottom of a well.” “Yes,” drearily remarked the dra matic editor, “and it is one of the things which hot air can’t raise from there.” A DOMESTIC DIPLOMAT. “How do you manage to get so much of your way in your family?” “Very simple, 1 assure you. When my wife and 1 differ, I find out be forehand what she wants and then order her to do that way. Naturally, she does mine.” A DAY DREAM. “Why that rapt expression?” in quired the first grafter. “1 was building a castle in the air," answered the second grafter. “And overcharging, eh, on all ma terial ?” ARE WEARING BuF ONE RING Fashion Decrees Thct Girlc No Longer Snail LcaJ Their Fi bers with Grr.arrer.ts. The wearing of many rugs lm.s gone out of fashion. The wearing of one on tin- little finger i- the reign ing style. Kverv young girl thinks site is out of the fashion unless she has one. If she is a schoolgirl it is usually a heavy gold ring, spreading out on top into a plain real, with the school ; motto or her fraternity letters carved into it. If it isn't this, it may he her own ! monogram or family crest that is carved on the gold. These are not set with precious stones, which, for the young girl, have gone out of style. There are many, however, made of semi-precious stones, a whole one be ing used for the flat top of the ring. Jade, carbuncle, lapis lazuli, cat's eye, are among the semi-precious stones used. Initials or symbols can* he carved on these. Such a ring is a very good-looking touch to a young girl’s hand. UNDECIDED. Judge—What is your trade? Prisoner—I haven’t chosen an oc cupation yet, your honor! A KNOTTY POINT. “Mister,” said Bronco Bob, as the traveling man got off the rail way train, “are you a lawver?” “No.” “l)o you think there’s a lawyer on board ?” “1 don’t think so. What is the trouble?” “Well, Crimson Gulch has boon puttin’ on some style lately, and it’s gettin’ us plum confused. What we want to find out. is whether it’s le gal to lynch a man for stealin’ an automobile the same as for stealin’ a boss.”—Washington Star. A QUICK CHANGE. The other day a visitor surprised a distinguished professor, who was saying to his baby: “On-ny, no-ny, ’e mussy tick his footsy tootsies—” dust then he caught sight of the \isitor, blushed and muttered: “No, no; you must not expose your pedal extremities by extending them beyond the protective covering of the blankets, or you will lay your system open to attacks of catarrhal affection.”—Stray Stories. WHAT SHE WOULD DO. Pauline Lucca, the great singer who has just died, spent her later years in teaching. “Inspire yourself with the situation,” said she to a pu pil on one occasion when instructing on some tragic character; “fancy yourself in the poor woman’s place. If you were deserted bv a lover whom you adored, what would you do?” “I would look out for another,” was the unexpected and ingenious re Pty- _ THE REAL BOSS. “Wasn’t that young Mr. Tiff who left the house as I came in?” asked the judge of his eldest daughter. “Yes, papa.” “Did I not issue an injunction* against his coming here any more?”. “Yes, papa; but he appealed to a higher court, and mamma reversed your decision.”—Stray Stories. UNCERTIFIED KIND. Mrs. Hoyle—My husband has water on the knee. Mrs. Doyle—What was the cause? Mrs. Iloyle—Holding the baby’s milk bottle, 1 think. NOT DELUDED “Do you want employment?” “Lady,” answered Plodding Pete, “you means well, but you can’t make work sound any more invitin' by usin’ words of three syllables.” ——mihill— W ■■■■!■■ I ■ IIMIHIM ITMlil!

To stop a cold with Preventlcs is safer than to let It run and b* obliged to core It afterwards. To be sure. Pre ventlcs will cure even a deeply seated cold, but taken early—at the sneeze stage—they break, or head off these early colds. That’s surely better. That's why they are called Preventlcs. Preventlcs are little Candy Cold Cures. No Quin ine. no physic, nothing sickening. Nice for the children—and thoroughly safe too. If you feel chilly, If you sneeze, if you ache all over, think ol Preventlcs. Promptness may also save half your usual sickness. And don't forget your child, if there is feverishness, nlghtorday. Herein prob ably lies Preventlcs' greatest efficiency. Sold In 5c boxes for the pocket, also in 25c boxes of 48 Preventlcs.
