His Honor's Toothache.
A good story is told of Judge W, D,'
Greer, a prominent lawyer Of Paducah.
Once during a visit to St. Lonis he had
a severe attack of toothache. He sought
a dentist's office and was'jnet by a
young runn who was scrupulously neat
and clean. The latter bowed suavely,
and the judge began:-
"I believe you profess to be able to
Extract teeth without pain."
"Yes, sir," was the reply, "and if
I don't do it I'll refund your money,"
The judge was " seated in the operating chair, and the last thing he remembers was the dentist inserting a small
tube in his month. He got a dose of gas
and became unconscious. When he came
to, the young man was under n table,
his erstwhile spotless shirt and collar
covered with blood and his clothes torn
almost beyond recognition. He was desperately waving the judge oS, saying
all the while: "Get out of here. ■> Get
ont of hei*."
He seemed very anxious to have the
judge get out,.but he couldn't be induced to leave his retreat under the
table.
"Why, young man, what's the matter?" asked the judge, who didn't understand the situation, in surprise. "If
I've done anything, I'm willing to pay
for it."
The young man obtruded his head for
a moment, glanced reproachfully abont
at the demolished furniture and his own
sorry plight, wavered for a moment
and then exclaimed: "Pay hell! Ton.
get out of here!"
It seemed that t-bp. judge, under the
influence of the gas, had cleaned out the
establishment, and the dentist didn't
get the topth either. ^-Paducah Standard,
The Stone Forest of Florissant.
The silicifled trees of the Florissant
basin are a marked curiosity of the
United States. They are less known
than the "stone forest" of Arizona or
than the similar mausoleum of the "Yellowstone region, but it is only because
they have not yet been brought to the
attention of the tourist. The trees are
at the present time represented only by
their stumps. In wandering over the
green meadow the eye here and there
rests npon a seemingly "bald" spot.
Over it are scattered white and yellow
chips, and, for anything that the eye
can itself distinguish, these conld easily
be the chips left in the path of work of
a recently passing woodsman. The deception 5 s absolute, and it belongs to
the stump as well. Theknots and gnarls
and annular rings are perfectly preserved. The bark stands in prominent relief
both by ruggedness and color, and all
this not in Wood, butin the monumental
substance of stone. The precise manner
in which the substitution of silica for
wood was effected cannot now be learned, but in a general way we know it to
have been brought abont as the result
of a slow infiltration into the tree trnnks
of heated waters containing silica in solution.
The remains are fairly numerous, but
what strikes one with special astonishment is the giant size which some of
them attain. Diameters of six, seyeij
and eight feet are by no means uhconi:
nion, and we measured three specimens
which spanned ten feet or more. Iij
most instances the stumps hardly rise,
above the surface,,coming np flush with
it; therefore without excavation it is
impossible to*>say at what height above
the roots the measurements were taken.

On the Killing qf AfricaR Wives,
Aa African chief psplfuned the other
tlay tp me that now the consul -was put.-
ting down the killing of .wives and
slaves at funerals, a chief's life was
not worth £ ye minutes' purchase, because a dissatisfied wife or a Vindictive
slave would now put poison in his food,
a thing they were less inclined to do
when the danger of being killed themselves at the ensuing funeral was before their eyes. It was also told by a
well educated native Christian minister
from the Gold Coast that the governments were practically preserving vermin in preserving witches. It* seems
the Gold Coast witch lives by sucking
the blood of young children.
In old days this was risky for the
witch. Now that the governments say
Witchcraft is a silly superstition, and
you must not go out and kill people because of it, the witch, feeling safe,
blackmails and terrorizes over anxious
parents, threatening to suck their children's blood unless they are bought off."
Every One says it is all nonsense, but
unless the witch is bought off the child
