Ore day father told Willhtm arrd ti:e l.e would take us to walk ever the bridge and to the other tide of the river. This was blissful news. he conducted us by a winding country road up the opposite bank of the stream. Suddenly the view called out my youthful admiration. Across the river appeared a large house standing in beautiful grounds not very distinctly seen through the trees. Spacious gardens were surrounded by walls, there was a large greenhouse, and beyond stretched a meadow. "Oh," I eiclaimed, "what a beautiful house, papa! Don't I wish I could live there! wmi a time we could have!" Mv father smiied. "We are going to live there, my on." he said. "Trulv, papa?" "Y err "Oh, I ?wi so glad!

It Was Practiced by the Anciaffts | Thousands af Years Ago. j It will s.trpri.-e many persons to J learn that false teeth, gold caps and j fillings and dental bridges are by no mean.-) modern creations. Six' 1 thousand years ago and probably long !cf: re the dawn of Creek ci\- * 1 ilizatien the skill of the dentist had t rea. !.<<! a high degree of perfection.

From the Phoenicians the art found \\< way to tlie 1 Etruscans. At the international i congress held in Pome in IhOO Pro- \ fc.-.-or (Jnorini exhibited several j specimens of dental art which prov- ^ ed that something very much akin to bridge work was practiced in ancieut Italy so efficiently that it has lasted thirty centurier. 1 | Artificial crowns have also been ? found in,Etruscan tombs. Artifi- ' eial dent ~\go hack to a remote , anti(juit\ Dencffe states that in the nr a of the University of Ghent there is a set of a'-f'feial ! teeth found in a tomb at Orvieto 1 I with jewels and Etruses-. rases. He ; fire* their date as from rve to six | thousand years before Christ. ' In a collection of antique surgical ' apparatus made by T>r. Tjambros there is an artificial denture found in a tomb at Tan&gra, near Thebes, which is believed to belhng to the third or fourth century before the Christian ere. Teeth stepped with fold have been found in Greek tombs. In the temple of Apollo at Delphi there was, according to Eraaiatratu*, a nephew of Aristotle and physician to Seleucus Kieator, king of Syria, 354 B. C., a leaden instrument which was used hi the extraction of teeth. Obviously an instrument of lead could have bee* used only for loose teeth. In the laws of the twelve tables made by the Roman decemvirs in 4T30 B. 0. it was expressly forbidden tto bury or burn geld with dead bodioc arrant iicn<l frvr wirinir the 'teeth. In the construction of false teeth recourse was had W the an- , ! eients to l?one and hom. Sometimes human teeth were "employed. , Benzoni found in some mummies artificial teeth made of sycamore. In tlie fir<t century oFotrr era false teeth were very -common among the Romans. Dentislrv slnrred in 1be decay of the arts during the middle ages, and we read that when Sr. Louis died in 1 *270, .although he was only fifty-five, lie had hut one tooth in the upper jaw.

When a Bank of England note returns to the bank it is never reissued, says Tit-Bits. It is canceled by having the signature of the chief cashier torn off. A day's signatures thus detached often amount to a weight of twenty pounds, so some idea may he gathered of the enormous quantirv of notes dealt wi(h in a day's business. After the signatures are torn off the notes are pricked off in the register and sorted into the dates of issue. They are than plaoed in boxes in the vaults, where they are kept for five years, after which they are burned in a furnace placed in a courtyard. Every morning at 7 o'clock this fire j ia lighted, and the notes whieh were received at the bank five vear? previously are consigned to the flames, ] 420,000 notes being consumed in . ifcis manner every week.
