But let me tell you about the American dentist in the European war. The hospital physician told me that he noticed early in his war work that many of the soldiers were suffering from toothache more than from their wounds. So every wounded man was examined by a dentist before he was taken to the ward. It was discovered that a large percentage of the men from the trenches had swollen gums, and that by treating their mouths they were cured and ready for the front ten days earlier than in cases where their teeth were allowed to go. The English, he said, had the worst teeth, the Arabs the best.—“ Here and There in Battle-Scarred France,” Peter Ma" Queen, in National Magazine for Jan uary. In taking photographs of snow scenes or water, in which trees and darker objects are near, the exposure should be determined for the darker objects, and should not be cut down to the quarter of the time on account of the snow or water. If detail is tc be preserved in them, hold out th< strong blue and violet rays with a ray-screen. The exposure should be cut down only when snow, sea or sky make, up the balk line of the picture and other; objects are absent or their detail is unimportant. It should be remembered that the purpose of the ray-screen is tiiat of an equalizer, to kill the preponderant effect of the blue and violet rays while you are exposing for the less active ones from other parts of the picture—December Outing. —o PLEASE SETTLE ACCOUNTS.

RETAINED FAITH IN GHOSTS Englishman of High Position One of the Few Who Believed in Such x Visitations. Robert H. Benson, whose death is recorded, was one of the few remaining men of high intelligence and education who believed in the old-fashioned ghost. It may have been his opposition to modernism, leading him to renounce the faith of his father, the archbishop of Canterbury, in favor of Catholicism, that impelled his preference for haunted houses of the old Btyle, with malignant apparitions tramping on the stairs and clanking chains in the deep watches of the night, and dissipating themselves in revelries that include groans, moans and the passing of cold fingers across the throats of uneasy sleepers. The “manifestations” of Professor Hyslop and his mediums were not at all Mgr. Benson's ghosts. And he had nothing in common with Sir Oliver Lodge’s hope of establishing intercourse with disembodied spirits across the ether, or wish Henri Bergson's elaborate telepathic arguments. But he was willing to consider theories of ghostly visitations that would not impair the old-fashioned conception. A ghost might, for example, be the effect of some violent emotion which, like an aroma, still lingers around the scene of its original generation and penetrates the consciousness of visitors. Or It might be the “astral body” believed in by the theosophists. Scientific help was not needed to account for ghosts in these ways, and psychologists were dispensed with, excepting when they yielded to Hamlet's or Macbeth's conceptions. Those conceptions are, In fact*-more comfortable and satisfying than the scientific speculations of the modern “highbrows.”— New York Times. WERE MEN, AND GENTLEMEN Cowpunchers of the Old West Have Been Rightly Depicted in the Pages of Romance. “The Old West,” says Edgar Beecher Bronson, author of “The Vanguard,” “was just as romantic in real life as it appears in fiction. Possibly it is the only case of romance standing the test of one’s being actually on the spot. And the cowpunchers were gallant as courtiers. “There is a story of the Cheyenne coach when a man, a gentleman he called himself, from a big Eastern city, got exceedingly drunk and started to annoy a girl school-teacher who was going out to the school. “A cowpuncher who was the only other passenger on the coach, promptly shoved a gun In his face and made him behave himself. Living out there in the open, the only good women they could remember were their mothers and sisters, and that’s what good women represented to them always. So some of the Western fiction isn’t too romantic, after all.” Mr. Bronson may be regarded as an authority on the matter, for he was a working ranchman for 14 years. Before the Days of Steam. Ninety-six years ago the people of Pittsburgh and Birmingham were rejoicing over the completion of preparations for the opening of a bridge across the Monongahela at Smithfield street by the election of a gatekeeper and fixing of a rate of tolls. Foot passengers were to pay two cents, vehicles with four wheels and six horses 62% cents, two-horse vehicles, 25 cents, one-horse vehicles, 20 cents, horse and rider six cents, horse alone six cents, cattle three cents, and sheep two cents. A bill had been enacted by the legislature in 1810 for the erection of bridges across the Monongahela and the Allegheny. The war of 1812 Intervened and it was not until 1810 that the bill was re-enacted and the governor authorized to hold 1,600 shares of stock in each bridge for the state. Work on the construction was begun in June, 1818. The cost of the bridge was SIIO,OOO. Frozen Food for Nerves. Whereas once upon a time “ices” (although not ice) were considered unsuitable for invalids, some doctors have now decided that they supply a needed stimulant in cases of nervous breakdown and have tonic virtues M their own in certain fever cases. But the frozen dainties should be carefully prepared and contain only the finest ingredients, and it should be impressed on the Invalid that he or she should eat of the ice creams, etc., only very slowly, in small sips from the end of a teaspoon, and, neefiless to say, with the express permission of the physician. The most wholesome of drinks is grapefruit juice squeezed into aerated water and iced. Frozen eggnog and frozen custards have their virtues, but are not so palatable as cream ices, which likewise afford a good deal of nourishment. Historic Fainting Spell. Prince Oscar, the kaiser’s fifth son, who has just returned to duty with the German army, left the fighting line after an engagement in which he saw the officers about him slaughtered by Turcos and himself collapsed from what has been pronounced a severe attack of heart trouble. In the Mexican war Brig. Gen. Franklin Pierce of New Hampshire fainted while in action from the pain of an injury sustained when his horse fell on him. This incident —this unmanly fainting at a time when other people were getting killed—was used unmercifully to make Pierce a target for ridicule in later years when he ran for the presidency. —Hartford Times. t

Wayne Journal-Gazette, which says: “Elgin, 111., Jan. 11 —The slaughter ■ of Illinois cattle because of exposure to foot and mouth disease was halted ’ today by an injunction granted by Judge C. F. Irwin of the circuit court, . restraining Dr. C. E. Dyson, state veti erinarian, from killing cattle of a herd . at the state school for girls at Genei va, 111., or any other animals in the 1 state, merely because they had been exposed to, or afflicted with the hoof 1 and mouth disease. The injunction was obtained by a committee of farmers of the Fox. river valley, who main- . tain that it is not necessary to kill the cattle with the disease if the herds are quarantined strictly.” The Republic Stock Food & Medk*l Co., of this city, has made an exhaustive study of this epidemic and are now manufacturing a medicine which is positively guaranteed to cure all stock suffering with the disease as well as to act as a preventative from its spreading. So confident is the company as to the merits of the medicine that they are willing to forfeit SI,OOO for any case which they cannot cure.- - Advertisement. o NOTICE.
