DENTISTRY.
FFNHE cry of “Hard times” and “No
_™meney” is universal. Yet people lose their teeth, and in consequence their health. Again, recent improvements have cheapened the cost of Dental material ;—considering which { have decided to reduce my prices, and for three months from the date of this I will make a sett of teeth for Ten Dollars. Parts of setts correspondingly cheap. More than this—I will use good material and guar- antee, in every case, a perfect fit.

Sentenced but not Hanged.
& MAN IN MONTREAL WITNESSES PREPARA- TIONS FUR HIS HANGING, BUT ESCAPES.
Some years ago aresident of Montreal was | under condemnation to suifer the extreme | penalty of the law for murder. He lay for some time in jail watching the preparation for his approaching doom, and could hear eyery knock of the hammer as the scaffold proceeded to raise its ugly head above the stone walls of the prison. His feelings were not of the most pleasant description, as may well be imagined, and day after day as the fatal hour drew near, he grew more and more despondent. He had had the hope held out to him of a reprieve, but none came. As the last day on earth drew on, so progressed the final arrangements for his death. The Sheriff had engaged the hangman, and the pair were in the habit of nightly practicing with a stick of wood, about the size and weight of a man. Hear- ing an unusual noise on the night be- fore his exeeution was to take place, the condemned prisoner looked out of his cell window, and, as 1t was a moonlight night, could see very plainly what was in progress. The Sheriff was adjusting the noose around the log of wood’s neck, and at the proper time the hangman was to pull the end of the rope which dangled from the pulley in the beam above. The signal was to bea clap of the hands. The hangman waited. The Sheriff clapped his hands, but the hangman’s nervous system had received a shock. He saw at the cell window the face of the man whom he was hanging by proxy, and, shaking from head to foot, he was unable to pull an ounce. ‘ Pull, you coward!” shouted the Sheriff, and he clapped his hands more vehemently. Fin- ally, he looked in the direction of the hang- man’s gaze and saw what had caused his horror. He let fall the log. There was no more practice that night. The indivi- dual in telling the story remarked that he was the coolest man of those three indivi- duals just at that time. He had no other feeling than curiosity when looking upon the hanging process, notwithstanding that he had then, as he thought, not more than half a day to live. The preparations for his death were made, but a reprieve came in the morning. He was sentenced to im- prisonment for life, and after having served 18 years was pardoned, and is now a citizen in the enjoyment of a position of trust in that city-—a repentant man.

The Miller of Balbirnie.
King James, while residing at Falkland, called one day upon the minister of Mar- kinch, and let him understand that he was not pleased with his preaching, and gave him three questions (which he had to answer in a few days) and if he failed to do so'to the king’s satisfaction he was to lose his kirk. The three questions were as fol- lows:—‘‘ Where is the centre of the earth ?’ ‘What am I worth?’ and ‘What am I thinking.” The minister was greatly puzzled, and did not know what he was to do. One day as he was walking along Leslie road he met one of his flock, viz., the miller of Balbirnie Flour Mills. The miller was somewhat astonished at the minister’s sad countenance, and he asked him if there was anything wrong. ‘‘Not much,” re- plied the minister, ‘‘only I had a call from the king, and he has rather puzzled me.” He then related the conversation between himself and the king, adding at the samo time that he did not know what to do. **Man,” says the miller, ‘‘if you lend me your clothes and your staff I might sort him.” The minister agreed to de so, and, accordingly, the miller went to the king at the time appointed. ‘‘ Well,” says the king, ‘‘ where is the centre of the earth?’ The miller put the point of his staft on the greund, and said, ‘* That is it.” The king asked him how he knew. The miller replied, ‘‘If you take a string, tie a stone to the end of it, and go round you will find that Lam right.” He then asked him the second questicn, viz: ‘‘ What am I worth?’ The miller replied, ‘‘ Twenty- nine pieces of Silver.” The king asked him how he made that out. The miller again replied, ‘‘ Our Saviour was sold for thirty pieces of silver, so I think you to be worth one piece less.” He then asked him the last question, which was, ‘‘ What am I thinking.” The miller replied, ‘‘ You are thinking I ain the minister of Markinch, but you are in a great mistake. I am only the miller of Balbirnie Flour Mills.”

To Keep Eggs the Year Round.
About a year ago the Prairie Farmer contained a recipe for keeping eggs a long time. It was simply to pack them ina cool place, small end down, in kegs or boxes filled with finely-powdered dried earth, or common road dust, or sifted coal ashes. These settled between the eggs, kept them from access to the air, and pre- vented evaporation of the white or spoiling the yolk.
The experiment was tried last June, be- fore the intensely hot weather that succeed- ed. On taking the eggs out of the packing a few days ago, they were as fresh and clean-looking as if fresh laid. On testing them for the table, they could not be told from fresh ones. When these were put down, eggs sold at 6 centsadozen. They are now worth 18 cents, or an advance of
200 percent. This ought to pay. The shell of an egg is a very porous car- bonate of line. Left ex to the air, it
passes through the shell and soon spoils the
contents. When placed in a pickle of lime

the expense of quality. Eggs that are limed
