A New England teacher ti aveHng a

Htshad the pleasure of hearing a com
neot on the notalwnys-lmpresslve
Thames, uttered In all sincerity by
id American of primitive type from
the land of far-stretching prairies and '
? the vast Mississippi. He had Infcer
I lted a fortune, and to pl&ise his young

trip abroad. Europe, he admitted, had
tat some respects exceeded his expec

Lizzie was sure.
"The Magna Charta Thames?" he
pursued Insistently,
Lizzie's guide book was In her h&nd

"Weil," mused her husband In a
meditative drawl i "it us Americans

land along Skunk creek, mebbe, fer
the sake of history, we'd have named
the creek over and turned It Into a
river. Mebbe 'twould have been the

It must have happened that way with

_ The Troublesome Teeth. .
The permanent teeth, 32 In numbWV
ippear between the ages of six years
to twenty-five years, more or less. Th'e
last to be cut are the wisdom teeth,
to about 47 per cent of adultsroue or
ill four may never develop. An ul
cerated tooth is an abscess at the root
of the tooth. It Is caused by neglect
of a decayed tooth. When the cavity
extends too near the nerve In the cen
ter of the tooth, the nerve becomes In
lUned and toothaohe Is the result
Thus the nerve and the decayed mate
rial In the pulp cavity causes an aty
?cess at the tip of the root In the jaw
bone. This may produce a gumboil or
break through on the face, causing a
?car. It may produce serious results,
u damage of jaw bone, blood poison
ing, anemia, kidney trouble, hearty
trouble, rheumatism or dther troubles
depending upon the part of the body
?ffected by the poison absorbed.
Bagdad's Change of Dress.
The war has wrought a wonderful
ehange in the people of BagdfCd, not
the least of which Is their change of
dress, according to the Times ot India,
which say*: "In Bagdad today ths
young bloods are showing a desire to
?dopt European dress, cannot Im
agine why anyone should want to dis
card the picturesque Arab headdress
In exchanKo for a billycock hat, but
Uere Is no accounting for taste. Re
lief at getting rid of Turkish misrule

?ome way or other, and the acquisition ^
of a new suit of clothes, even If they
?re ready-made reach-me-downs, Is un

RETAIN OLD RELIGIOUS RITE

Important Part.
i *. r _
In thtM vicinity of Devll'a Hollow,
[.several idIJm of Quapaw, okla.,
there la a wigwam-shaped church
building located utiles from any white
iihiii'h habitation, and a long distance
from (he nearest Indian domicile,
where the Quapaw full-blooded Indiana
congregate regularly to worship the
<;i? at spirit hi silence. They si? about
a tiny tire that has been bUlH on a
stone base In the middle of the dirt
floor, from Saturday night at sundown
till Sunday noun, fasting and praying,
but never speaking a word.
A feature of their church meetings
la the feast that fellows the fast and
religious rites. Hie, meal Is served
in a little mess lions** nearby, and
when the services are over the squaws,
Who hove slipped out a few hours be*
fore the time to cloae, are ready with
the dinner and all sit down to partake
of the food that is always a part of the
program.
The church was built mauy years
ago, so that the residents, might have
a place to worship, a custom jptill kept
up, regardless of the fact that there la
no preacher, no choir, nothing to C$11
them but the religious spirit of the In

acres of land Id this region, but when
he was offered $20,000 for a few acres

fused because, he said, he knew the
white man would try to get the money,
but could not get the land away from
him.
DRAWS MUSIC FROM A SAW
New Yorker Gets Startling and Pieaa
ing Effects by Using the Tool
0 M ft Violin. .
The conventional saw 1ms recently
appeared in a new role? namely, as a
musical Instrument. Indeed, one of
the leading novelties of a current New
York musical revue, is the musical car
penter who uses his saw as a violin:
After protracted experimentation
and untiring practice, Sam Moore of
New York city has succeeded in get
ary carpenter's saw, according to the
Scientific American. He holds the saw
handle between his legs, holds the tip
of the.saw in one hand and works the
usual viojin bow with the other. The
vibrating steel blade emits soft, ap
pealing notes, the pitch 6f which Is
(varied by changing the curvature of
the blade.
All sorts of queer ^effects can be
obtained by the adept manipulation
of the blade; In fact, the music de
rived by this means can hardly be de
scribed. If anything, It resembles the
human voice; then again it has the
queer wail of the Hawaiian Ukulele.
All In all, the effect is startling and
pleasing.
' New Vegetable Ivory.
A recent number of the French bul
letin of the colonial office gtvep a de
scription of anew form of vegetable
ivory,' which can be used In European
industry in place of the coroso. This
tew substance is produced by the ker
nel of an edible fruit growing upon a
palm i of the upper Senegal-Niger ter
ritory, the Borassds ethlaplcum. The
kernel Is seven. or eight centimeters
long and five centimeters broad, thus
permitting the cutting of balls pr
plates of considerable size to be used
? In marquetry, or the making of domi
noes, piano keys, buttons, etc. The ker
nel becomes extremely hard when
thoroughly dried. As a proof of this it
is stated that it is at the present mo
ment being used as building stones for
making of the houses of native chiefs,
while it is expected that the future
cathedral at Dakar will have tinted
pillars constructed of these same ker
nels. ? Scientific American Monthly.
Seen In Piccadilly.
A rough little pony in a coster's cart
stood near a mansion in Piccadilly
qo a chilly morning. A pile of logs for
firewood was being unloaded and the
pony was enjoying the warmth of a
somewhat unusual loin-cloth flung over
his back. It consisted of a handsome
edging of fur attached to a musquash
coat, which was seen to belong to a
woman who was shifting the wood,
who was 'coatless while she worked.
So the little rough pony was sharing
what was known a year ago as "mu
nition overalls" ? because these hand
some fur coats were the sign and
signature of the girl munition work
ers, whose sudden enormously In
creased incomes enabled them to real
ize the ambitions of their. life ? a fur
coat as good as you please. And very
handsome they were, and very well
they became the owners ? and very
contented the pony looked.
8erblana Adopt English Words.
From a ry Oxonian In Belgrade, writ
ing' to the London Spectator, we hear
of the excursions of English words into
Serbia. Some of them are slightly
"fierbifled, but easily recognized. For
example, "aeroplan," "budget,'' "klub,"
"miting," shtraik," "drednot." "Trans
?port" has made Its way unamended.
"Submarine" has come In from the
French in the form of "sumaren."
Tanks are "tankovl." No Interpreta
tion is necessary of the Serbian form
of a world word, "fordovf." "What
regtoir on thb en rth ts not full of yotrr
labor." These are War words, but
"djentleinanskl" entered Belgrade be
fore the war. So, as communication*

The True University. I
Every true university should make
room In its scheme for life out-of
doors. There is much to be said for
John Mil ten's. plan of a school whose
pupils should go together each year
on long 'horseback Journeys and sail
log cruise* in order to see the world.
,, . . John Burroughs has a college on
a little farm beside the Hudson And
John Mulr has a university called the
Yosemlte. If such men cross a Held
or thicket they see more than the
seven wonders of the world. That Is
culture. And without it all scholastic
learning Is arid, and all the academic
degrees known to a man are but china
oranges hung on a dry tree. ? Henry
