' Mr. Badger had a bran new set of store uppers. His natural unders were still quite good, but his uppers had long been badly decayed, and at frequent intervals they made him feel about as cheerful and contented as he would have been whle being fried. So after many years of agony and dread, Badger decided that his uppers must go. Having once made up his mind to anything, he was not the man to make make any unnecessary de lay. If there were any dreadful . calamity to face, like being hanged or getting married, Badger believed in bracing up to it and having it over .. for once and for alL So he sent for a tooth-twister immediately. Dr. Twitcher was right on deck. On getting the message he set out for the abode of the Badgers with cheer fulness and alacrity, and littlMpinch ers enough to start a Spanish inquisi tion or set up a hardware shop. He found Badger sitting in a rocking-chair, his feet in a pail of hot water and his head in a hot poultice. He was rolled up like a mummy, and his rotten and ulcerated uppers were aching away like a tender heart in a cold and sinful world. Badger-felt that his time was come when the doctor walked coolly in and began to unpack his arsenal. He prayed for a quick and painless disso lution, but that made not the least difference with Dr. Twitcher. He was after teeth and boodle, so he or dered the decks and Badger's face cleared for action. Then he prepared to go for his pa tient with desperate energy and a particularly cruel-looking pair of for ceps. First ho made Badger suck a ' lot of sweet wind out of a f unnvlittle concern, and it sort of numbed him all over, but he knew he was there just the same. He thought the doctor must be tearing out his whole front ier with those diabolical nippers of his, a little chunk at a time. ' but he could not help himself a particlo. Dr. Twitcher took a mean advan tage of a helpless fellow being, for he tore Badger's mouth to tatters, as if it were a positive pleasure. He Wrenched more teeth out of his wretched victim's upper jaw than there ever was in a horse rake or the beater of a threshing machine. He relentlessly ploughed up Badger's tooth orchard and harrowed his soul without mercy. About the time the doctor was twitching out the three-hundredth tooth. Badger got the use of his fac ulties so he. could wiggle a little. - Then the toothpick suddenly discov ered that he was all done, so he stopped short in his devilish career and asked the patient how he felt Where are they all?" asked Bad t ger feebly. -All what?" said the doctor. "Why all the bushel or two of teeth you jist hauled out of my crippled countenance." Badger went on. Here they are." replied Dr. 'Twitcher, and he stooped down and scraped off from the floor about a spoonful of old rotten snags and tri umphantly held them up for Badger's inspection. "And you have torn me all to pieces just to get that little lot of old bone?" groaned Badger. "What a hard-hearted wretch you must be!" And then he turned his face to the wall and wept tears from his eyes and blood from his lips. But it was Badger's new store up pers that I started to tell you about, so we will hasten on and get to them. After he had starved a few weeks from lack of anything except a raw and bloody hole to eat with, ho had another season with Dr. Twitcher. His mouth was poked and pulled and stretched till it felt as big as the mouth of the Hoosac Tunnel, and oh, how it ached! Then it was stuffed .full of some kind of nasty white putty that oozed o :t through the cor ners of his moustache like boiled squash through a cullender and dropped down Into his throat and nearly strangled him to death. At last the cast was made, however, and after that the uppers. The plate had been jammed into its place some less than a hundred times and tin kered between times, but finally the doctor pronounced it a perfect fit Then he collected his pay from his unfortunate victim and departed, greatly to the miserable Badger's re lief. At first Mr. Badger thought he must be wearing a cart-wheel in his mouth, but after he got somewhat accustomed to it it did not seem quite so big. It appeared to get smaller and smaller by degrees until the plate felt exactly like the seat of a mowing machine stuck into his face. He had to take it out quite frequently in order to rest his mouth, but then it was such a pleasure to grin at people and make them thing they were his very own uppers and not just some for which ho had suffered martyrdom and paid six dollars. On the whole. Badger was a proud and happy man on account of his uppers. But they came very near being the death of him for all that Even such a little thing as a set of, false uppers narrowly escaped befng a strong man's last sickness. It happened in this wise. Badgor took a severe coldone day. and that night ho woke up in' a severe coughing fit. and with a sense or suf focation. In sudden fear he clapped his hand to his face: horror of hor rors! He found a hole like the mouth of a cellar drain, but his uppers were missing. Badger made a frantic clutch at his throat and he was none too soon. The missing molars were already half way down his gullet and he could easily .feel them from the outside. It was :no wonaer ho was choking to death. Badger seized the protruding bunch and hung on to it with a death ffrip. Help! help!" he yelled as well as he could, giving Mrs. Badger a kick that ,sent her flying out of bed and iaf the middle of the chamber floor. I've swallowed my uppers and they are choking me to death." $ Mrs. Badger was scared as bwUj;as her husband, if not wonaplffllaleuo eeededin jjetiifW5 last 'and rushed to the -rescue or her en dangered mate. "Get 'em out, for heaven's sake!" he cristas she approached his bed tiiewkha candle.. et. 'am oat quiclc or 'Bob Badger is a foae gos ling!" Apparently the teoth were still stuck in Badger's throat aad the case was a desperate one. Mrs. Badger clutched the protruding plate and gave a yank that came near pulling her husband's neck out by the roots. Owl Ow! you infernal idiot!" he howled. "Are you trying to break my head off in order to get them out?" They must be got out in some way or you are a dead man." she walled. "Oh dear! What shall I do?" "See if you can't squeeze 'em up." gasped Badger, Mrs, B. grabbed him around the windpipe just below the bunch and squeezed till Badger was as black in the face as a badly tanned nigger. She did not get tho teeth, but she did get a clip 4n the ear that loosened her grip and made her start back in aston ishment Do you mean to choko me to death, you thundering fool?" raved the injured Badger. "I might just as well let the uppers strangle me as to have you garrote me in that manner. Look down my throat and see if you can see 'em." Mrs. Badger did as she was bidden, but she was nerved up to such a degree that she hardly knew what she was about She could not see down her husband's swallow very far on ac count of the imperfect light and in her excitement and eagerness to illuminate the yawning chasm she shoved the candle-flame down his throat for more than four inches. Badger's jaws closed upon the blaz ing candle with a snap like those of a fox trap, but not until his moustache had taken fire and scorched his upper lip and the end of his nose to a blister. The yell that he let out tore the black robe of night to tatters and smote his wife's tympanums like a bass-drum mer pounding the calfskin on the glorious fourth. You driveling idiot!" he shrieked as he spit out the candle end. while the blaze in his moustache died out for lack of fueL Are you trying to poke them down my neck with a tallow dip or burn them up where they are? Don't act so much like a chuckle-headed chump. Stop trying to murder me and capture thoset up pers in somo way. or else you will have to prepare your widow's weeds in the morning." "Let me cut them out my dear," said Mrs. Badger as she approached with another candle and a carving knife that looked like the blade of a guillotine "Are you clean crazyP" howled Badger in terror, as he hurled a pil low at his wife's head. "Drop that sabre and listen to reason. I won't have thy throat cut if I have to lose the whole six dollars that I paid for those uppers. For pity's sake think of something else, and be quick!" "Don't you suppose I could fish them up with a hook and line if you opened your mouth a little wider?" she asked. No. you couldn't you confounded simpleton you!" roared Mr. Badger as loud as he could for the grip he still -kept upon his windpipe. "I don't want my stomach hauled up on a pickerel hook, now I can tell you." "Maybe I might get hold of them with the tongs if they are not too far down." she cried, struck with another brilliant idea. Uh, you double-dyed dunce!" shrieked Badger, "lor the love of heaven, hold your tongue and send for a doctor." In a comparatively short time the old family physician stood by Badger's bedside, and the whole matter was explained to him. The teeth were still easily felt for Badger had held them so firmly that they had not moved an atom since he first awoke. The doctor took hold and squeezed and twisted on t?ose obstinate uppers for some time, but they still refused to start in either direction. Badger groaneJ. -Get him a glass' of water; that may loosen them up a little, " ordered the medical maa "we must get those teeth out in some way or Badger's hours are numbered." Mrs. Badger ran for the water, hut the first glass she caught up proved to bo full already. Somewhat sur prised, she glanced hastily into it and gave a glad cry of astonishment and relief. There, quietly soaking in its crystal depths, where he himself had placed them on retiring the night before, were Badger's uppers. The ineffec tual effort to squeeze out the poor mans' "Adams apple' ceased and there Chicago Sun. t0i then HOW TO WRITE DATES. Various Forms' lined In Writing Letters Nowaday. "The Listener" writes in the Boston Transcript; "January 2. 1891," is a date which looks picturesque, distin guished and fin-de-siecle on paper. It reminds one that the world is getting particularly old. It will be very in teresting to write "1900" at the top of one's letters, when the year comes around; it would be still more inter esting to write "2000" there. Few of us will ever do it though if science does its duty and finds a way to pro long a civilized person's life to the term of a California mission Indian's some of us may hope to do it The writing of that date above reminds the Listener that there Is a great diversity of- usage nowadays in the writing of a date. Looking over a number of private letters, the Listener has found them dated in all of the following ways: 1. December 24, 1890. 2. December 24th. 189a 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 24th December. 1890. 24 Dec 1890. Dec. 24. 189a ( 24th Dec.. 189a 1800. 24th December. 12 24 90. XIL. 24. 1890. It would bo hard to say which is the most approved of these method a It is very much according to the taste and fancy of the writer, like spelling of the honored patronymic Weller. Perhaps the commonest method is No. 5, while Uie most vulgar is No. 8. It smacics of the retail store and laziness, too. Personally the Listener does not like an abbreviation in a date, and consequently does not like No. 5. We ought at least to have the appearance with our friends and the general pub lic of having enough time at our dis posal to write out the full name of a month at the top of a letter. None but a slave should be under the neces sity of abbreviating it No. 4 is old fashioned and - rather English; No. 1 and No. 2 are sensible and approved methods. The letter dated ' 'XIL. 24. 1890." was written by a schoolmaster and is to be classed as an evidence of eccentricity rather than of baste or laziness. It has a sort of antique. Bemanesque appearance, too. though to be consistently classical it should no donbt have been, written' XIL XXIV., MDCCCXG Our mimoag cornea- from tne nTfllh anmnTlmi In " & aaaM Italian "ti much the sr , - , .' - .V NAMES FOR fcHIPS. , ' . a-.

Wet vessels that take inuuit water on deck, are known a? diving bells, from their plunging into the waves instead of riding over them. A vessel that pitches heavily is called a pile-driver another term that can be appreciated only by those who have felt such pounding, well described in German as sUunpfreUen; to pitch when riding at anchor. A lighter degree of somewhat the same kind of movement seems to be the source of the legitimate terms skip jack and dandy, applied to light Bpeedy vessels. Tea-wagon, formerly applied to the ships of the Fast India company from their . usual cargo, is a colloquial ex ample of the iargo class of ship names referring to cargo and trade. The wagon idea appears again in wheel barrows, applied to steamboats having a large stern paddle-wheel, which gives it a general appearance fully justifying the name. In allusion to their characteristic shape the caual boatman calls his boat a chunker and the sections of it- boxed. Under the same idea butter-box was formerly ap plied in England to a beamy trading vessel. The ship as a box is regularly exemplified by German Busa Dutch buyse, Spanish buelia and English busa a kind of fishing-boat The transfer of the title of the com mander of the fleet to his own vessel is an old- custom still in vogue.

Kite-shaped tracks are all th e rage nowadays, and not to be beh'nd the times, the Santa Fe road has built an immense one on this model taking n the principal towns in San Bernardino, Los Angeles and Orange counties. Starting at an Bernardino, for exam ple, one may take a train and ride for several hours, never passing through the same town twice, and yet at the end of the trip he will be just where he started from. A tramp who was not familiar with th's unque bit of ra'lroading. and who had been passing some time among the orange groves of the lovely San Bernardino valley, decided it was time to seek fresh fields, so with a party of his friends he went to the Santa Fe station in 4ate city just men tioned, and. And ng a train there on the point of starting out he bade his comrades a long farewell agreed to meet them somewhere in New Mexico with'n a couple of- montt and as the train moved, swung himself in on a brake beam and was soon flying through the country. The train made many halts, but none long enough to allow the impecunious traveler an opportunity to get out and stretch himself. Finally, however, a place of large size was approached, but when the train stopped it was evident a long halt was to be made. The tramp concluded it must be a divis on headquarters, so he sneaked out from under the car, straightened up and then looked around him to see what sort of a place he had struck anyhow. There was a familiar air to his sur roundings, and. looking at the sign board on the station he was paralyzed to see the name 'San Bernardino!'' He had put in the best part of a day riding on a belt train over a kite shaped track!" CltyBred GIrla.

Such small differences in speech nre not of sufficient importance to call forth serious criticism. Tbe-BritisLor. indeed, is justly amused at some of our strange applications of words, so different from their old meanings, but language is constantly changing and the original applications of hundreds of words are utterly lost or forgotten. There are other rhangea however, which are inexcusable and deserving of the most severe condemnation tho-e .brought about by fashion. Fashion may rule in etiquette and drea but never in language. Just now it is the absurd, ridiculous' 'fash ion in Washington to say 'good'morn ing" up to G o'clock in the evening. How it can be tolerated, much less adopted, by persons of education is beyond my comprehension. Yet it is used by the wives of cabinet oificers and senators, and by other ladies whose social position should place them ab.n-e tho dictates of a senseless, siily custom involving a positive mis use of words.

TkU Story Comes From France and Is Undoubtedly True. A newspaper published at Apt in Southern France. La Presse, publishes an account of an extraordinary hunt ing adventure which lately befell a citizen of that town. A Paris journal in copying the story, explains that oc currences of the kind never take place except in Southern France. But that is not true. Co into any hunter's camp in the wild and woolly West and you may hear yarns just as ingenius and not a bit more truthful than this. A hunter who had spent a consider able part of the day in an unsuccess ful quest for gatna and had discharged bis shotgun m.tny times without re sult caught sight on his way home, of a superb pigeon well up in an oak tree, which grew on a very steep hill side The hunter's gua was charged with powder but he was entirely out of shot In this emergency, and resolving firm ly that he would have the pigeon, he sat down on the ground. -took out his pocket-knife and with it pulled sev eral nails out of the sole of his shoe. With these he loaded his gun. The p geon still sat in his place. The hunter aimed, tired, and the pigeon was nailed to a brunch of the oak tree with the shoe nails The hunter was almost in despair, seeing the game apparently fastened beyond his reach. But he climbed the tre ascended with dirticulty to the place where the pigeon hung, and had ju.-t taken the bird oif. when he lost his footing and iell through the air. As chance would have it the hunter landed in the midst of a hare's nest He began to roll rapidly down the steep and slippery hillside, bat before he did so he seized a large hare firmly by the hind lega Rolling downward, the hunter slid plump in the midst of a covey of partridges, and. striking about him with the hare he succeeded in killing nine of these admirable birds. He then picked himself up and took himself homeward with his pigeon, his hare and his partridges, well satis fied with the results of his shot CHAUTAUQUA ASSEMBLIES.

AVakasl XaaJae'aratal Xna Threat TWtmriaf Baas ef Castas. Early one morning latoly the nude body of a man was found on the Cahoeaga branch of the San Fernando wagon road, about twelve miles from Loa Angeles,' just South offtirbunk and near the Los Angeles river, says the San Francisco Chronicle. A num ber of people soon gathered around the body, and after holding a hurried consultation the remains were covered with pieces of old carpet and sacks and Coroner Weldon was notified. The coroner and hi3 assistant hurried to the spot and began an investiga tion. The body was lying in the 'middle of the road, and for several hundred yards from the spot where the body was found the dirt was plowed up. showing that the dead man had fallen down a number of times and had pawed around in the most frantic manner. His last struggle took place when he died, and from the looks of the ground it must have been torrible. The poor wretch had plowed his head into the ground until it was horribly mashed aud his arms and hands were badly Bruised and scratched; but the strangest part of the thin? is that thro mre no indications that a sec ond pcr.-iin was present '1 heni were no other tracks in the vicinity than those made with the bare feet and if he fought with any one the person must have been on horseback. An examination of his limbs sltowed that he bad passed through several beds of cactus, for his legs and body were literally full of cactus thorns, and the blood must have flowed freely from his numerous wounds until death released him. No one in the neighborhood could identify him. On the way back to the city the coroner and his assistant stopped every one they met and had them view the face, but no one had ever seen the dead man before. Shortly after the coroner reached the city he received a message that the man's clothing had been found. The officers at Burbank followed the dead man's tracks about four miles from where his body was found, and discovered what at first appeared to be a newly-made grave. The dirt was thrown up in the shape of a grave, and it had evidently been made only a few hours before. On opening it they found a suit of clothes which evidently belonged to the dead man. Ho had no tools with which to dig a hole for tho nails are terribly torn and show that he dug the hole like a dog and then placed his clothes in it including his hat aad shoes. The ground is hard clay, and rt must have taken him several hours to dig the grave. He then covered his clothintr and rounded up the earth like a mound. It is supposed that he did this early in the night and then start ed out on his wild chase through the cactus patches. He passed through places that would cause a man with thick clothing and heavy boots to shudder and turn back, and it is a wonder that he did not drop with ex haustion and loss of blood and pain long before he did. HOW KINGS RAISED WIND. In Old Times Methods That Now Prevail Were Not in Favor. The Flantagenets wore very rough and ready financiers. When Richard L took it into his head to try conclu sions with Saladin. he raised the need ful by turning the crown manors and the fortresses of Roxburg and Ber wick into hard cash, selling offices of trust to the beat bidders, and did cot hesitate to avow that he would dispose of London itself if a purchaser were forthcoming. Strange enough. Cceurde Lion never seemed to have thought of doing the same by his crown jewels. Henry III. was the first English monarch who had recourse to that undignified expedient. The idea indeed, did not originate with him; for it is recorded that when some person or persons unknown sug gested the replenishing of. the royal coffers by selling the crown plate and jewelry the kin? hinted a doubt as to the likelihood of finding purchasers, and being assured that the citizens of London would gladly 'accommodate -him. Henry exclaimed: On my word if the treasure of Augustus was brought to sale, the citizens are able to be the purchasers. These clowns, who assume to themselves the name of barons, abound in everything, while we are reduced to necessities." Notwithstanding his indignation, says the Jeweler's Revew. Henry, like other men in his predicament was willing enough to deal with the full pursed ones he abused, and so in 1248 he sold the citizens of London all tho plate and jewelry ho had not already mortgaged to the merchants of France. The relief afforded waa however, only a temporary ona for seven years later we find him demanding 9. 000 marks of tho Jews, and answering their re monstrance against the oxa lion by pleading that he was a beggar, spoiled and stripped of all his revenues, with out a farthing wherewith to keep him self, and therefore must have money from any hand and by any means. Indian Basfietmakers. No chemist has ever produced brighter colors than are secured by the Maine Indian basketmakers. For the greater part of the material ash logs are taken, though maple is cut for rims and handles. In the salt marshes sweet grass is found, which, when dry, gives out a fragrant odor. Alder is steeped for pale red, white birch bark for bright red, cedar boughs for green, sumach for yellow; black comes from white maple bark. A light solution of maple, however, shows purple instead of black. Lazy Indians buy logwood for black, redwood for red and fustic for yellow. Xothlap bat Spool. In the backwoods villages of Oxford county, Maine, one sees scarcely any other industry but spool making, and everyone is in some way interested in the business. The factories have been cutting into the Maine birch forests for years, but there seems to be enough left yet to feed them well for years to come.

Prettv Miss Bud said I she 'must ask mamma,' and coyly tripped up-stairs to mamma, who told her that every girl did not get such a chance as that, and of course she was to accept him. "Down she went, picturing the ar dent lover awaiting her return with anxious, throbbing heart, and found the old gentleman comfortably asleep in the biggest armchair, while an oc casional, snore attested to the depth of his slumbers." "I hope she didn't wake the poor old thing up," said the convalescent when she got her breath again after her laugh. "Oh, yes, she did. Catch her losing that chance! She woke him up and told him it was all right and she'd have him." A RELIC OP BARBARISM. Where Patricide Is Practiced With tfae Father' Consent. Two Tartar princes near the city of Astrakan, on the mouth of the Volga and the Caspian sea, have killed their father and their grandfather, and are now undergoing a trial for murder in that city. The two young men had undertaken a marauding expedition against a rich Russian land owner and had pillaged his estates and castle and carried home much booty. Their pa rental ancestors had approved of the deed. Rut it failed to please the Rus sian authorities, who proceeded against the robbers. Father and grandfather were subpoenaed to appear in court and give testimony. What could they do? They could not swear falsely and testi fy in favor of their sons. They would not testify against them and be instru mental in consigning them to the gal lows or to lifelong exile in the mines of Siberia. So they both resolved to die in order to save their sons. The latter accepted the sacrifice and un dertook to accomplish it by killing them. One brother dispatched the father, the other the grandfather. And now they are taken up to answer an accusation of murder. In those half barbarious regions where old traditions of the greater value of youth than of old acre, of the right of man over the life of other men are still prevalent, and where the harshness of mohamme danism has not yet yielded to christian principles, the question whether the consent of the victims does not render the killing a pardonable deed will not be easily answered. The Lady and the Mirror. It is said by those who are fond of casting reflections themselves that no woman can pass a mirror without looking into it. This is stated as fact, established by long observation, but no one has ever had the hardihood to try to explain why. A goo-1 many people have hinted that it was because the ladies wanted to admire the set of a bonnet, the sparJde of a diamond, or, most auda cious of all, their own comely faces. It has remained for a little miss of 4 and children speak the truth to do tardy justice to her sex and prove that the habit is certainly not due to per sonal vanity. This little girl the other day climbed into a chair facing a handsome mirror, and when she nodded she beheld the reflection of her own bright features. She turned to her mother in petulance, exclaiming: "Mamma, every time I try to look in the glass my face gets in the way." Diamond Washing'. The exhibit of diamonds from Cape Colony will be one of the most interest ing features of the mines and mining exhibit. Chief Skiff has been informed that the De Beers diamond company will show every stage of the produc tion of diamonds, from the pulverizing of blue earth for washing to the finished and polished stones. The exhibit will include one hundred tons of pulverized blue earth for washing; fifty tons of unpulverized blue earth for a trophy to be built of the material itself; a com plete washing machine to be operated by natives; all the special and unused diamomliferous products in the posses sion of the De 1 Seers diamond company; about ten thousand carets of uncut stones; a large quantity of cut and pol ished stones and a collection of crodi- dolitc. The display will require a safety deposit vault and special storage for one hundred and fifty tons of raw material. The March to the Sea. Fred Emei'son Brooks, a California pcet, visited Gen. Sherman two years ago. when the latter was in San Fran cisco, and asked the privilege of put ting into verse the story of the march to the sea something after the style of T. Uuchanan Read's "Sheridan's Ride." The general replied: "Mr. Read came to me with the same proposition himself on two occasions, and I begged him not to make the effort, and to be .vatisfied with the fame the Sheridan poem had made for him; but as you spring from far western soil it will be pleasant for me to give you the ideas you desire." The poem was written .mil read by Mr. Rr.ooks at the Memor ial thy exenisesin ik-ston which Gen. : .-rinan attended the year before "he . !-:t.
