Is a custom in army circles for the
guard to be called out when the major
approaches camp and salute him. One

ing up the road saw the commander

guard in this manner:
"Call out de push, de main guy is

‘‘Never mind the guard,” said the
major in a disgusted tone.
“Never mind de push,” ihouted the
guard, "de main guy says nit.”

It has been stated by many critics
that Mr. Kipling is essentially a man’s
poet, but an incident connected with
the publication of “The Truce of the
Bear" would seem to dispute their
Judgment. When the poem was pub-
lished in Literature, Messrs. Harper
& Brothers advertised that the num-
ber containing the poem would be sent
upon receipt of 10 cents, etc., and,
strange to say, of the many orders’
received more than half were from
women—a fact which tends to show
that the genius of Mr. Kipling is ap-
preciated by women as well as by men.

Smothered in l)irt.
A coroner's jury in an Iowa town
recently returned a verdict that a mac
found dead was “smothered to death
in the dust of the public highway.”
The man was a ranchman, who left tho
town for his home, some miles dis
tant, in the hottest part of the day.
A mile from town he was overcome
by the heat, and possibly by his po-
tations, and fell from his horse. The
dU3t at this place was several inches
deep and very fine. The man fell on
his face aDd wras unable to turn over.

Replanting human teeth with rac-
essful results has advanced so far be-
yond the tentative stage that Dr.
Kirk, dean of the dental college at the
University of Pennsylvania, has of-
fered himself ns a sacrifice to science
by voluntarily having one of ills teeth
extracted and replaced for the pur-
pose of noting the practical results of
so painful an operation. What is
claimed by the advocates of this new
Idea In dental surgery Is that decaped
teeth may be pulled out, filled, filed,
and polished up and put back In the
socket from which they were drawn,
where they will grow in tight and ser-
vlcable. Though the return of the
tooth to the place from which it was
extracted is an entire novelty, yet In
the latter part of the fifteenth century
it was not unusual for a wealthy per-
son who lost a tooth to purchase one
of the same build from another person
and have it Inserted In the mouth a3
soon as his own was removed. That
this operation was frequently success-
ful Is shown by tho well-known story
of John Hall, the novelist. Mr. Hall
was engaged to Miss Robbins, a very
beautiful orphan girl, who lived on
South Second street, below Dock creek,
with her grandmother, who was in
comfortable circumstances at the clwe
of the American revolution. Mr. Hall
was obliged to visit England, and in
his nine months’ absence Miss Rob-
bins’ income very materially decreas-
ed, owing to the fluctuations in real
estate of that period. Her health fail-
ed, life Itself seeming to depend upon
her going to the country, but not a
debt for rent could be collected, and
the two ladies were literally without
money. A dentist residing near had
always been friendly to them, and to
him the granddaughter applied for ad-
vice. While waiting for him to finish
with a patient having a front tooth
extracted, the man said he would give
$100 for one of Miss Robbins’ front
teeth. They dickered about the price,
until finally he offered $200, and the
tooth was extracted and immediately
planted in the man's mouth. The den-
tist took the precaution of ascertain-
ing that he lived in the city and was
of good reputation, and all parties
were content with the transaction. Id
the following October Mr. Hall re-
turned from England, and Immediate-

IN VARIOUS PLACES.
Examination by a male physician is
a hard trial to a delicately organized
woman.
Bhe puts it off as long as she dare,
and is only driven to it by fear of can-
cer, polypus, or some dreadful ill.
Most frequently such a woman leaves
a physician’s office
ll where she has un-
dergone a critical
a-/ j examination with
fc&A' "TJ an impression,more
or less, of discour-
agement.
This condi-
tion of the
mind destroys
the effect of
advice; and
she grows
—------1 worse rather
than better. In consulting Mrs. Pink-
ham no hesitation need be felt, the
story is told to a woman and is wholly
confidential. Mrs. rinkham's address
is Lynn, Mass., she offers sick women
her advice without charge.
Her intimate knowledge of women’s
troubles makes her letter of advice a
wellspring of hope, and her wide experi-
ence and skill point the way to health. •
I suffered with ovarian‘trouble for

have been permanently cured of catarrh
by Dr. Hartman’s successful remedy
Pe-ru-na. Here is Mr. Ingalls’ letter:
Dr. S. />. Hartman, Columbus, O.
Dear Sir:—“ Pc-ru-na and Man-a-lin
have cured me of one of the worst cases
of catarrh any one ever had. My case
was so severe that I was compelled to
discontinue my business, that of con-
ductor on a railroad; but I am dovt
entirely well.”
Ordinary treatment of catarrh is for
local relief. Cures are not expected.
Dr. Hartman’s method eradicates ca-
tarrh absolutely. Get his latest book
and learn how to combat this insidiout
disease. The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co.,

books free on application.
II. A. Scott, Burt, Tenn., writes:
“I feel very thankful to my Maker
and vour great medicine that I am
cured., I would not be without l’e-
ru-na in the house.”
Pe-ru-na lias been curing catarrh for
forty years. It plucks out the roots
of catarrh and builds people up. Ail
