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

Mixed 'Metaphor.
Edwin Hark ham at a dinner ^aid
<of mixed metaphors:: "When I was
teaching in Los Angeles 3 used to
read every week a little country paper
whose editor's metaphors were
an unfailing joy to me. Once, J remember,
this editor wrote of a eontemporary,
"Thus the black lie issuing
from his base throat becomes
a boomerang in his hand anil, hoisting
him by his own petard, leaves
him a marked man for l;.fc7 lie
said in an article on home life. The
foitlifnl w-o-tr-hrincr-r>r his ennd wife
standing at Ihe door welcomes the
master home with an honest -bark.'
In an obituarv of a farmer he
wrote: The raue was run at last.
Like a tired steed, he crossed the
harbor bar and, casting aside whip
and spur, lav .down upon that
bourn from which no traveler returns/

Dramatic.
Just as he el&sped the beautiful
girl in his great strong arms a
strange man came out and stood beside
them, looking exceptionally
foolish and idiotic, -due possibly to
his embarrassment.
"Pardon me,*' he said. "The
playwright had more epigrams than
he could put in the mouths of hie
logical characters, and I've dropped
in just here to get -off a few of
them. I'll be as quick as I can.
You understand ray position,
course ?"
"Oh, dear, yes!" they replied as
with one voice. "Don't mind ut.

the stage and talk just as long as
you like. We've-, been in sociefv

now obsolete to a great extent.?New

"Yes," declared a suffragette,
"women have been wronged for
ages. Thev bave suffered in a thousand
ways.*'
"There is one way in which they.
have never suffered," said a meeki

"What way is that?" demanded

i ART OF DENTISTRY.
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.

of that name. The fir-t mention of
dentistry, according to the British i
Medical .Journal, is- fouml i21 llip- '
poc;rttes. who iu st-veral parts of
his writing ha- a good deal to say
about toothache. 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. French surgeons,
notably Amhraise Pare, took a leading
part in the TcvL?al ?f dentistry.

Bank <of "England Notaa.
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.

Dinah came in to ask her mis- ,
tress to write a letter. Name and ,

waited for dictation, which was not ,
forthcoming. Dinah, being urged, i

When He Couldn't Sloop. ^
The lecturer on health had finished
his discourse and invited his ^
auditors to ask any questions they ^
chose concerning points that might
seem to need clearing up when a '
lean, skinny man rose up and aaked: j
"Professor, what do you do when
you can't sleep at night ?"
"I usually stay awake," replied
the lecturer, "although, of course,
every one shauld feel at liberty to
do otherwise if he chooses. Are ^
there any other questions ?" 1 1

Everything taken into the stomach
should be digested fully within a

your stomach is not in good order,
that the food you have eaten is not
being digested, take a good, natural
digestaut that will do the work the
digestive juices are not doing. The
best remedy known today for all
stomach troubles is Kodol, which is
