There is a police court magistrate of St. Louis who frequently evinces a pretty wit in dealing with fresh or facetious offenders.

I IN A NEW LIGHT. ' H?>? a Different Feint of View May Change the V.'ho'e Aspect. Discontent or satis-faction with an object often depends entirely on the way in which it is regarded. A difference in the point of view changes the whole aspect. This truth is well illustrated by a pleasing little incident of Kobert Dale Owen's childhood, told by himself in "Threading My Way:" year the isolated country seat where I spent my boyhood there was a footbridge but little more than a mile away. For the first ten years of iuy life I was forbidden to cross it, and until then 1 never walked on the turnpike road. One day father told William and me that he would take us to walk over the bridge and to the other side 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 aurrounded by walls, there was a large greenhouse, and beyond stretched a meadow. "Oh," I exclaimed, "what a beautiful house, papa! Don't I wish 1 could live there! What a time we AAnI/1 iiofa'1' vv%tiu ?> u?v . . Mv father smiled. "We are pojcg to live there, my . on," he Mid. . "Tmiv, p.|?r .; ; "Yes. "Oh, I am so glad!

It will Surprise many persons to learn that fane teeth, gold caps and fillings and dental bridge# are by no means modern creations. Six thousand years ago and probably long before the dawn of Greek civilization the skill of the dentist had reached a high degree of perfection. Cicero in his treatise "Go Xatura Doorum" ascribes the invention of tooth drawing to Aesculapius, third of that name. The first mention of dentistry, according to the British Medical Journal, is found in Hippocrates, who in several parts of nis writings has a good deal to say about toothache. Front the Phoenicians the art found its way to the Etruscans. At the international congress held in Rome in 1000 Professor Guerini exhibited several specimens of dental art which proved that something very much akin to bridge work was practiced in ancient Italy so efficiently tha it has lasted thirty centuries. Artificial crowns have alec been found in Etruscan tombs. Artificial dentures go back to a remote antiquity. Dr. DenefTe states that in the museum of the University of Ghent there is a set of artificial teeth found in a tomb at Orritto with jewels and Etruscan vases. He gives their date as from five to six thousand years before Christ. In a collection of antique surgical apparatus made by Dr. Lambroe there is an artificial denture found in a tomb at Tanagra, near Thebes, which is believed to belong to the third or fourth century before the Christian era. Teeth stopped with' gold have been found in Greek tombs.. In the temple of Apollo at Delphi there was, according to Eralistratos, a nephew of Aristotle and physician to Selencns Nicator, king of Syria, 354 B. C., a leaden instrument which was used in the Extraction of teeth. Obviously an instrument of lead could bare been naed inly for loose ttctb. In the laws of the twelve tables aade by the Roman decemvirs in 150 B. C. it was expressly forbidden to bury or burn gold with dead bodes except when used for wiring the teeth, in the construction of false teeth recourse was had by the annents to bone and horn. Sometimes human teeth were employed. Benzoni found in some mummies irtificial teeth made of sycamore. In the first century of our era false teeth were very common among the Roijians. Dentistry shared in the decay of the arts during the middle ages, ind we read that when St. Louis lied in 12T0, although he was only ifty-five, he had but one tooth in :he upper jaw. French surgeons, lotably Ambroise Pare, took a leadng part in the revival of dentistry. Louis XIWs dentist used only instruments of gold in operating on :he teeth of his august patient From the time of Pare onward the lighest dentistry was in the hands >f surgeons, extraction being left to barbers and quacks. Bank of England Notaa. When a Bank of England note re' i At i i_ :i turns xo me uaua it is never ic ssued, says Tit-Bits. It is canceled Dy 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 dea may be gathered of the enornous quantity of notes dealt with n a day's business. After the signatures are torn off the notes are pricked off in the register and sorb rd into the dates of issue. They ire than placed in boxes in the raults, where they are kept for five (rears, after which they are burned !n a furnace placed in a courtyard. Every morning at 7 o'clock this fire is lighted, and the notes which were received at the bank five vears previously are consigned to the flames, 120,000 notes being consumed in this manner every week.
