This was an upper front tooth that had once l>een nicely filled with gold, but fresh decay having set In around that filling it had become necessary to fill the tooth again. This time, the dentist said, he thought lie would fill it with porcelain. All the processes of making a porcelain inlay are interesting. Having drilled the cavity In the tooth to Its required depth and shape, the dentist next proceeds to make a matrix or mold of it in gold foil, which he is enabled to do without breaking this delicate material by tho use of a bit of sponge between it and the crowding tool. So lie crowds the gold foil down around within it everywhere to fit into the cavity perfectly and gets the depth all around the edge of the mold so exactly that the inlay to he made in It when set into place will not only lit perfectly in the cavity, but fit into it with its edges flush all around with the surrounding surface of Iho tooth. The mold thus made of the cavity in the tootli may look like the tiniest of tiny gold cups or it may have some irregular shape, according to the shape of the cavity; but, whatever 11s shape, this mold of gold foil is so slight and thin that a touch would crush it, and it seems indeed ns if a breath would blow it away, as probably it would, and you may wonder how a solid piece of porcelain can ever be formed In a mold so frail and delicate, but it is all really very simple, as you will
see.
Now the dentist takes a small metallic holder about the size and shape of a very small clam shell, which he fills with powdered asbestus mixed with water, and on top of tills yielding material, handling it gently with a pair of pliers, he sets the delicate little gold inqjd, with its closed end down, resting so ou the surface of tlie moistened powdered asbestus. Tills holder lias a Up on one side of its edge, by which It can be lifted with a pair of pliers made for the purpose and serving thus as a handle for it. I.ifting the little saucer now by Bits handle, the operator rubs on the handle very gently, as one might draw a fiddle bow very gently back and fortli on the strings of a fiddle. A lend pencil might do for this, but he is likely to use some professional tool with a chased or engraved handle, wtiose irregularities will heighten the effect, and, rubbing gently with this on the handle of the holder, he communicates to it and to Its contents and to the little gold mold on top continuous, gentle vibrations, which, slight as they are, still cause the mold gradually to settle and Imbed Itself in the semifluid mass in the holder, and this without in tho slightest changing its shape. These vibrations are continued till tho mold has settled to the required depth, and then the water Is evaporated from tho asbestus, and there you Mhve the little gold mold firmly imbedded in practically solid material and ready for use. The Inlay will be made in the mold from a porcelain powder. Porcelain powders for dental use are made by the manufacturers of dental supplies In endless variety of shades, so that it is easily possible to get a powder whose finished product will match any tootli. The dentist has a great as sortment of teeth made from porcelain powders, these all named or nunilierod, and lie matches up your tootli with one of these and uses for the Inlay tl» powder of the corresponding number. With tlie little gold mold all ready the operator now mixes a sufficient quantity of the porcelain powder with alcohol to give him the material in plastic form, while at the same time the alcohol will evaporate quickly. He wets also the asbestus in the mold holder to keep that from absorbing the alcohol in tlie porcelain powder. And now with bis porcelain in worknble form lie fills the mold with it, to make there the shape that is to lie set into the tooth, and then lie proceeds to fashion in the plastic material its outward part. This may tie simply a slightly rounded surface, for an inlay that is to go into the flatter part of a tooth, or Bie inlay may Include an edge or corner of a tooth, or both; but, whatever the outward part may lie, the operator so aolds and fashions it that It will continue and complete naturally the contour of the tooth in which tlie Inlay is to be set. With tlie modeling thus finished, the Inlay is ready for the final process, and now, with the holder, mold and all, it is put into a tiny electric oven, out of which after a suitable time It is taken, baked into a solid bit of porcelan, tlie inlay completed. It is set in place with cement, and so perfectly Is porcelain inlaying now done that except upon tlie closest inspection It may lie Impossible to tell In an Inlaid tootli where the natural tooth ends and where the Inlay logins, a nice operation in modern dentistry,

Experience of a Traveler In Crossing the Gobi Desert. Many difficulties must the traveler contend with when crossing the desert of Gobi, and oue of these is the almost overwhelming desire to sleep. Hans During writes In the North China Dally News: “Hitherto 1 have thought that traveling by carts over stony roads and staying in Chinese inns at night was the hardest tiling a foreign traveler in China was called upon to endure, but since I have traveled with a caravan of camels I have changed my opinion. Tlie monotony of the desert by day and the bed of camels’ saddles at night, the evil smell of camels and the slowness of their drivers and the acrid, choking smoke of the little fire ou which one’s food is cooked— none of these tilings is so trying to the foreigners as the sleepiness which attacks one In tills high region. This to mo was a real torture. Traveling through the cold night with no other company than dull Chinese, who seem to sloop while walking alongside the camels or while sitting on their backs, and being weighed down by heavy sleepiness is the worst tiling I have
endured.
“You sit on your horse and, in spite of every effort, fall asleep. Presently you wake up and find yourself on the ground with your horse standing bewildered at your side, wondering whether you are alive or dead. Then you try to keep yourself awake by walking and talking a bit to the camel drivers, but you soon find that they are Just us sleepy as yourself. A few words are exchanged and then you are too tired to open your mouth to talk or even to think of anything but sleep, sweet sleep. Oh, for just a few minutes there at the roadside In the soft sand! But, no, you must go on and fight against Ibis desire. It is too dangerous to sleep by the roadside on tlie ground. The caravan cannot wait and your servant would not watch over you; lie would soon fall asleep like yourself. The wolves would then have
an easy time.
‘Yet in spite of all this reasoning you feel ns if you were drawn to the ground by the power of a thousand strong magnets and soon yield to sleep again. Suddenly your watchful horse, whose reins you have kept slung around your neck—this is a wise thing to do—(lulls up. starts and jerks you wide awake. Y'ou jump up, not knowing where you are for some seconds. but you see your horse trembling and realize that danger ts near. “For a few minutes you are fully awake and feel glad and refreshed. You jump on your horse and catch up with the caravan, which has gone a few 11 (a II Is 1154 yards) ahead. “After another ten II or so sleep creeps on again like a huge boa constrictor embracing you in its irresistible grasp. The same fight has then to lie fought ever again. Then at last the caravan arrives at the halting place
for the night."
Settlement In Full. By LULU JOHNSTON. Copyrighted. 1907. by N. E Daley.
Dick Staley, perched on a furniture crate, looked disconsolately at Bitty Blaine, who was regarding the wall paper and trying hard not to laugu In spite of Blaine’s efforts the twitching corners of his mouth curved, and as he met Staley's eye he exploded in a roar of laughter which served only to deepen Staley’s gloom. “Laugh, confound you!" growled Staley. "It’s funny to you. It's not so funny to me. I’ve got to get this place settled in five days, and upon my soul ! don't know what to do first!” “The first step ts easy,” chuckled Blaine. “Get a man In to scrape the walls. The paper is the worst I ever
saw.”
“It looked all right tn the book,” said Staley defensively, "it was the prettiest thing in tlie whole book of sam-
ples.”
"It may be all right In a sample,” admitted Blaine, with another glance at the flowered monstrosity, "but there Is only one square yard of the sample. It looks different. Dick, when you have a roomful of It.” “I know It.” admitted Staley, "but that doesn’t help matters. It only serves to make them worse 1 wanted to surprise tlie matter by bringing her to her own home instead of lab lug her to a hotel. She hates to give up her old home, and I wanted to make the change as easy as possible.” The smile died from Blaine's face at the allusion to Mrs. Staley. lie was Dick's chum, and lie knew how tender ly Dick loved the gentle faced woman who within the mouth had lost both husband and daughter. Now she was coming to live with Dick, and for weeks he had planned to take an apartment that she might not fool too keenly the loss of the home that had been hers since marriage. "I’ll tell you what we’ll do. Dick, suggested Blaine. "Let’s go downtown for some lunch. I'll phone Nell for om of those professional fixers for you She knows a criickerjack. a girl who used to move in good society and whose father lost his money. She knows what's what and how to do It. and Nell will get tier to do It for you.’ Dick patted his chum on the hack while his eyes glistened Nell 1’. I able

THIRTEEN. The Superstition Attached to It Is by No IVioans Modern. It is usually stated that the superstitious objection to sitting thirteen at a table in Christian countries was based on tlie fact of the last supper, when Christ and ids twelve disciples sat down to eat together immediately lieforc the Saviour was seized by his enemies. But in the Norse mythology, which is supposed to antedate the introduction of Christianity among the northiuen, we find the superstition re ferred to the fact that at a banquet of the gods Loki. Bie spirit of mischief, intruded himself, making thirteen at the table, wherefore there was a fight, and Baldour, a young hero especially loved by all the gods, was killed. For the fact Is the objection to tills number seems to have existed even 1 a 1 fore Christianity. Among the Turks the number Is so disliked and feared that it Is never even named. With the Aztecs, the aborigines of Mexico, It was lielleved to have magic power, mid n like fancy has been found In other Indian trities. Among the ignorant blacks of the south the fear of Bits number In any connection is actually absurd, hut whether they have borrowed this idea from their Imperfect knowledge of Christianity or whether It Is n survival of the Voodoo worship of their ancestors it Is Impossible to say, for the superstition has a strong hold everywhere, even among those who should know better than to lie swayed by It. In Italy It is never used in making up the numbers of the favorite lotteries, and In Paris it is emitter in numbering Bie houses on the streets.—Housekeeper.
Armenian Marriagee. An Armenian mother usually chooses her daughter’s husband. After all business preliminaries are settled between the families Bie bridegroom's mother, accompanied by a priest and two matrons, visits the bride and gives her a ring in token of espousal, and with this ring the couple are ultimately married. Among Bio fishing communities very ancient and elaborate rings are used, and they descend ns heirlooms from generation to generation.

c.n to re.iltze that the years had tieen lonely. Marion was not at the house when lie dropped In the following morning, nor d d lie see her again until Friday afternoon, when lie went to make Ids final inspection of her work. Dick gasped as he entered the apartment. In place of the gaudy paper the walls were now covered with quiet tones and the (lowered carpets had been exchanged for nigs whose soft Buts harmonized with the new paper. Instead of the solid ollicellke furniture were lighter and more tasteful pieces, and the whole apartment suggested a feminine presence. Best of all, Marlon Wadlelgli was there. The print dress had been exchanged for an afternoon costume, and immediately Dick decided that after all a print dress was not the most becoming costume which Marion could near, though that had been his impression since he had seen her last. Quietly she moved about the place, giving an account of tier expenditures, and Dick followed, bearing only the rich voice, full tones, without caring what she said. At last the tour of the rooms was ended, and she returned to the parlor. “If you like," she said, "1 can buy Bio material for dinner tomorrow and be hero to welcome Mrs. Staley when she arrives. Mrs. Blaine wanted to conic over, but she had to leave town last night with her husband.” “I should he delighted if you could arrange to he here tomorrow,” said Staley. “1 am sure that my mother will wish to add her thanks tn mine for the beautiful home jnti have provided. You will stay to dinner?’’ “I only suggested being here to welcome her." said Marlon, her face Hushed. "You soe—in business- it is best to maintain strictly business relations You don't have to thank me for what I have done. My charges cover all services, .\ nil know.” “But money could not pay for pulling me out of a hole and settling me,” insisted Dick. "Besides, 1 don't want to maintain a purely business relationship unless you Insist, Miss Wadlelgli. “I don’t insist," the girl answered softly. ”1 have been much Interested in your devotion to your mother, and I am sure that I shall he glad to know her better. She must be a dear old lady to deserve such affection.” “I want you to know her very well,” explained Dick. "You see you liavi only partly settled mother. You havi provided her with a home, hut 1 want a home of my own, and 1 want you t furnish It complete." "Complete?" she asked, not quil catching his meaning. “Even ton wife,” explained Dick. " don't ask an answer now, but will you consider the proposition?” “As a business woman I have always considered propositions,” she said with a laugh, hut the look in her eyt" helled the briskness of her words, and Dick realized that when they should know each other better there was prospect of being settled “in full,” a^ he termed It some months later when he placed a solitaire on Marion’s linger

Together they left the apartment, and while Staley ordered lunch Billy Blaine hung over the telephone in the restaurant. She’ll bring her over tonight at 8," reported Billy as ho too!> his seat. Eat with a good appedite and con slder yourself settled already." Billy’s words restored confidence, and when Dick Staley met Marion Wadlelgli that evening his last doubt vanished. Tlie girl did not laugh at his blunders nor even at the wall pa per. She listened with sympathy and took from her chatelaine the tablets on which to make notes of what she wanted. With Increasing admiration Staley followed her through the vnri ous rooms, noting the quick, business like way in which she condoned his errors and approved Ids successes. ”1 can do it over in four days." she said briskly when she bad shut up her memorandum hook and reitimed to the parlor where Nell Blaine. Billy's sister-in-law, still sat In rapt admiration of the garish wall paper. “Suppose, Mr. Staley, that you drop in here Friday afternoon? Then you can suggest any last changes you wish made, and the place will he ready for your mother Saturday evening. Shall l get you a servant also?” ‘Can you?" Staley had heard of the servant problem, and he had worried greatly. This businesslike girl offered even to take that trouble off his hands He was rapidly coming to regard Mar ion Wadlelgli us a tailor made angel. He dropped in the next morning on his way to the office and found a pa per hanging crew’ already installed, removing the paper that had proved so disappointing. Marion was there tn a gingham apron even more becoming than the cloth costume of the night tie fore, and Dick's heart tient faster hi answer to her greeting. There was something “homey" in her appearance that appealed strongly to tho man who for years had enjoyed but an occasional glimpse of home In vacation time. The soft dark hair was hidden by a cap and the piquant face was flushed with exertion, but Bie heightened color only added to her beauty, and the eap did not shadow tlie tender light in the hrowu eyes. Dick went to Ids office with Ids head In a whirl. Ever since he had come to the city lie had sunk himself in work.

A Poet’s Vision. For years tlie poo( Francis Thompson had been one of the “submerged,” selling matches, calling cabs, anything to obtain the pence necessifry to liny food. At last he yielded to despair, and having for some days saved up all he could earn, he devoted it to the purchase of a single dose of laudanum sufficient to end his troubles. With this he retired at night to his haunt, the rubbish plot in Covent Garden market. Then by Ids own narrative the following incident occurred: He had already taken half the fatal draft when ho felt a.band upon his arm and, looking up, saw one whom ho recog nlzed as Chatterton forbidding him to drink the rest, and at the same instant -memory came to him of bow. after that poet’s suicide, a letter had been delivered at ids lodgings which, if lie had waited another day, would have brought him the relief needed. It happened so with Thompson, for after infinite pains the editor of a magazine who had accepted and printed an essay and n poem of his, but could not discover ids address, had that very morning traced Thompson to tlie chemist’s shop where the drug was sold, and relief for him was close at hand.—I^mdou Academy.
