II is wonderful what g great deal may
be made of a small part by great atten-
tion to small details. All play-goers,
even of this generation, will rccollect
with what grace and ease, and. above all,
effect, Charles Matthews used TO manip-
ulnte his pocket-handkerchief. And in
one OF his great parts, Layater, it was
difficult to decide what most attracted
the attention of the audience--the actor
or his wallsing-stick. Mrs. Alfred Mel

her apron, perfectly natural, and yet

and remembered. He was also one Of
the few actors whom sword simply

ridiculous.
These kinds of little details are well
worthy the careful notice Of aspiring
amateurs, and viii probably gain then
some applause when they least expect

NEW NODE or ISsULATISa LINES

NEW MODE or ISbULITIHG LINES.
A Gerran patent of Messrs siemens
and Halske, OF Berlin, is for mode OF
production of insulated lines. The
process is based on tho fact that cotton,
ute or similar plant hbers perfectly in
sulate, if they are entirely freed from
moisture, and in this state impregnated
with liquid which prevents the reab-
sorption of water. One liquid specially
suited for this is tho oil obtained by
heating OF caoutchouc ; it may be used
either alone or in mixture with resin or
like substances. The wires, wound
round with the fibrous material, are
broughtinto an airtightvessel, iron which
the air is pumped while the heat is APP
Piled. Sulphuric acid, or other strong
absorbent of moisture, is previously
placed in the vessel Tor in another, with
which it is brought into communication).
When all moisture is removed the i'm.

ANorESr DENTISTRY

Sir Gardiner Wilkinson affirms that
teeth stopped with gold have been
,ound in Egyptian mummies, and other
learned gentlemen Lold vigorously that
The thing is an impossibility. DIR.
John Gaigor, in the British Medical
Journal, says that in the Ehuscan Mu-
scum of Corneto, the ancient Tarquinia
Of Etruria, and few hours distance
from Rome, he has seen teeth in skull
bound together by threads OF gold clev-
erly twisted in and out among them,
and that he has seen the same thing in
museums in the Vatican and elsewhere.
From these facts he presumes that it Is
quite probable the ancient Egyptians
had more or less skillful dentists. His
deduction is supported by gentleman
who is positive that he once saw in the
Meyer Museum, in Liverpool, the jaw.
bone of mummifed Egyptian, in which
number of teeth were secured by a
golden wire. 1t is also claimed that the
Hindoos, 600 years ago, knew some-
thing about the art Of binding together
teeth that we're disposed to abandon
each others company. Mr.. Briggs, in
his "Rise and Fall OF the Mohammedan
Power in India" describes battle in
which Kootubood-Dn, the famous Gen.
eral of Mohammed Ghory, who built
the Kootul, tower which rises near
Delhi 20 a leight that makes it one oil
the most beautiful wonders Of the world,
slew with an arrow q powerful Raiah,
whose corpse was afterward identified,
according to the writings Of Ferishta, by
his artificial teeth, which were bound
together by wires Of gold.
