ANTHROPOLOCY.

One OF the most interesting dis
coveries of stone implements which
have been recorded for a long time
past has recently been made in the
West of England. This discovery
was brought before the British AS
ISOLATION by DR.. John Evans, who had
just visited the locality where the
implements in question had been
found. 1t appears that part of the
Southwestern line, in the neighbor-
hood Of Chard, had been ballasted
with gravel from pit near Broom. in
the valley of the Axe; and it was in
this gravel that the implements were
detected. They are decidedly of
palaolithic type, mostly Of fiat oyoid
shape. and the river gravel which
yielded them appears to be quater.

ment-bearing gravels. It is notable
that the implements are not fashioned
out OF ordinary flint from the chalk.
but OF ebert obtained no boubt from
the BlackdOwn beds, which are set
OF deposits representing apparently
both Upper and Lower Greensand.
About fifty OF the implements are
exhibited in the Albert Museum at
Exeter. having been collected by the
accomplished curator. Mr.. Durham.

arrangement Of the chronological part
OF the museum.

fore, not yet On the platform Of
science. Few Englishmen, we need
hardly say, ever supposed he was: but
nevertheless it is satisfactory to hear
distinguished French anthropologist
OF advanced views joining his opinion.
Perhaps the most interesting part Of
NJ. Broca address was his clear des-
cription of the three races Of pre-
historic man whose bones have came
down to MS, and Of whose physical
characteristics we consequently know
something. The Oldest Of these three
types of man is the Cansfadt race. 50

unfit for use and liable to ache; while
the food will lodge in the cavity and
decompose, causing the breath to be
offensive. TO treat decayed tooth,
proceed as follows: First clean out the
cavity, picking out all the decomposed
parts which can be reached, and dry
the interior with cotton. For this
and subsequently operations thin
steel or iron instrument, sharpened
at the point and slightly curved, will
be found useful. Should the nerve
be exposed, it should be killed. There
are several ways of doing this. One
method is to allow drop Of creosote
to fall on a piece Of cotton, when the
latter is placed on the nerve in the
cavity. filling in with pure cotton. Oil
OF cloves may also be used; it is
slower in its action, but is more
agreeable. Both of these are poisons,
it taken into the stomach in any con-
siderable quantity. They are there
fore to be used on the teeth with care
and only at the place needed. For
the plug take a bit of common gutta
percha and plunge it into boiling water
which will soften it and render it us
easy to manipulate as putty. The
cavity having been cleaned and wiped
dry, allow single drop Of the oil of
cloves to fall upon very small bit Of
cotton and force the latter into the
hollow of the tooth, pressing it well

gutta percha of the size of the cavity.

the outside with the finger. If the
cavity is in the crown Of the tooth,
close the jaws; the gutta percha will
thus be moulded into the shape Of the
opposite tooth. In about ten minutes
the gutta percha will harden and the
tooth will be capable of use. If the
nerve is not exposed and tender, the
Oil OF cloves and cotton may be omit

so far that mere shell is left. apply
sufficient gutta percha to form com
plete cover. When two or three
touching each other are badly decayed
they may be covered with a single
piece of gutta percha. If at any time
the tooth becomes troublesome again
the filling may be removed by the
pointed instrument and fresh one
inserted.
1t should be born in mind that a
toothache caused by an exposed nerve
in a decayed tooth can be instantly
cured by the application Of the oil of
cloves. which should be used with
care, as above stated. SO that it will
mo- affect the sound teeth When the
nerve is destroyed future relief from
pain is insured. Thus all who have
broken or ragged teeth. and cannot
obtain dentist S aid, may readily free
themselves from pain and render the
injured teeth serviceable.
A good wash for the mouth may be
prepared as follows: Dissolve little
permanganate of potash in water,
rlnslng the mouth with portion of
the solution. This will destroy the
organic matter hanging about the
teeth and render the breath inodor-

WHAT THE RAIN DID.

VIVA HE KAHN OiO.
Coming from the matinee,
Once upon a rainy day,
On the curb saw her clutching her umbrella
tightly;
Oh, she was SURPRISING fair,
With her loosely -knotted hair
Blown about at random, rising now, or fall
ing lightly.
Could ever blame the wind
Which thus to me had shown
That all that wealth of hair
Really was her own
Bolder grew the blust'r ring wind,
Wrong it was to SO have sinned),
But 1t caught her dress and wound it round
her shapely figure,
So could not he'll but see
That she wore number three
Surely such dainty shoe could never have
been bigger.
Could blame the wind, ask,
Which thus displayed to view,
Such dainty foot, and such
pretty ankle, too!
All unmindful of the rain,
Turning then, looked again
Looked upon this pretty, this distracting lit
tie maiden
Fiercer still the wind it blew,
49, And the heavens blacker grew,
Till the pretty maiden turned to me with
bushes overladen.
Saying, inlay be so bold
AS to ask you, sir, to hold
Ny umbrella for a moment,
While fix this horrd dress?''
How | thanked the wind in secret
As promptly answered eyes. "
SO it happened that we met
In the wind and rain wet
Coming from the matinee-met and talked
together;
That was years and years ago,
But q man and wife know
who never yet have grumbled over rough and
rainy weather
For | have the rain to thank;
And the elements OF heaven,
For the sweetest little wife
