MARY.

The Chicago Ne,cS has this little essay on
the name of Mary, showing the remarkable
associations connected with it:
More women have been named Mary
than any other name which has blessed or
cursed the feminine sex. 1t stands as the
typical name of the holiest and most ab]ect
of women-for the virgin and the Wanton.
And in every language of Asia and Europe
as we'll as that of Egypt, this name appears
almost without variation. 1t has been an
equal favorite with the arstocrats of France
and the Puritans of England, and it equal
ly becomes literature or kitchen. 1t IS
stately when we speak of Mary Whortley
Montague, it is simplicity itself when we
refer to Mary O'Brien, who brings in our
breakfast rolls. At one time it may bring
up picture of divine painted face, hang
ing in the rich gloom Of an Italian gallery,
and at another of red checked dairy
maid, with her barred feet in the dasled
grass. Two of England's five queens have
borne it, and the most memorable woman
that Scotland ever produced has made 1t
| immortal.
The proudest women ofFrance have dlgnl-
fed it and the worst women of Russia nave
disgraced it, There are as many Marys
smiling at the circling suns that make the
brief summer by the Northern seas as loll
through the luxurious days by the Med
iterranean. The name that Catholic mis-
sionaries gave to the first converted Indian
maiden was Mary, and perhaps the first
daughter of every family for all time will
stand in imminent danger of bearing the
name, for it is the first to be considered in
naming girl babies, and when rejected IS al
ways thought of with lingering tenderness
How many lovers have loved it Ito"
they have associated it with purity ant
gentleness, with womanliness and cando
and trust! What fateful name it is 1T
bearer seems predestined to sorrow, ye
it is gladstone, too. MY mothers name
was Mary" What pleasant thing to say
"My little daughter Mary" Could any
thing be prettier? "My sister Mary, wh'
is dead" What wealth of tender sug
gestions! "Mary, my wife," What pic
ture of home comfort!

the old way of catching them with the for
ceps and Jerking them is still the only re
liable and effective wayof getting rid
them that is known to dentistry. Ther
are. of course, methods which are calle'
painless, but there is nothing sure or goo
about them. Other branches of the protes
sion, though have progressed, and we hav
almost perfect machinery for the cleansing
filling and fitting of teeth. Electricity, toe

a machine that is used to give soft, stead
