The Israelites became acquainted with
the horse through tho Egyptians they
al not show that love for the horse which
Is charae eristio Of most nations. In the
early ages they were forbidden the use OF
them to any great extent lest they might
be tempted to idolatry by the easy access
to heather nations; and further, as they
were a chosen people they were not de-
signed to extend their territories by con-
quests. The Lack Of horses often put them
to disadvantage with their neighbors, and
Nliriam's song Of victory. THE Lord hath
triumphed gloriously; the horse and his
rider hath he thrown into the sea, had
special significance with people suffering
the want of horses, which az that time
were used chiefly for purposes of war
David was no lover Of horses or he never
would have said, "Be not as the horse or
as the mule, which have no understand
ing, and no Egyptian, Assyrian or Persian
would have said, "a horse is vain thing
for safety" Solomon was not always
wise, but one evidence Of his wisdom was
that be had 10000 stalls Of horses for his
eharlots aud 1000 horsemen, which may
account for the fact that Israel dwelt
safely, every man under his vine and he
tree all the days Of Solomon"
No poet OF ancient or modern times
could vie with Job in that magnificent de-
scription Of the war horse; Hast thou
given the horse strength Hast thou
clothed his neck with thunderf The glory
Of his nostrils Is terrible. he paweth IN
the valley and rejoiceth in his strength.

The first dental college in the United
States was established in 1870 at Balti-
more, aud at that time no one had to go to
a college before practicing dentistry. In
1864 there were but three others IN this
country, two here in Philadelphia and one
in Cincinnati. Even as late as the civil
war college education was not requisites
hut at this time there are twenty-six OF
twentv-eight schools in the United States,
and | think nearly every state has laws
compelling a collegiate course to the would
be practitioner. All the work was done by
hand up to 1871, when the dental engine
was invented by an American.
In 1910 teeth were filled with gold prin.
eipally and with gutta percha and, Of
course. all the cutting and hammering had
to be done by hand. Until 1868 there was
no such thing as a rubber dam either, and
the use of this has almost reyOlutionized
the practice of dentistry. Then, too, soG
gold was used, but now cohesive gold is
a very important factor In the art Of filling
teeth.
The year after the war closed the first
automatic mallet was invented, and il
spranR into immediate and universal ia
vor. Chisels, excavators and pluggers oil
one kind and another were then used, but
prior to 1871 all the exeavating had to be
done by hand with these instruments and
a few hand burrs The dental engine

It is a waste Of good money, Of good ma
terial and of the designers abilities to place
in the hands Of an ignorant or reckless
workman first class machine. He would
accomplish about the same result with the
cheapest in the market and feel just as well
satisfied. A competent workman, on the
other hand, will show his appreciation of a
superior tool, both in the care he will take
of it and the work he will make it accom-
plish. You would not find good man.
for instance, risking the ruination Of ma
chine by forcing It TO do work it was never
intended for, because the tool he needed
was temporarily unavailable nor would it
occur to him to overload or strain ma
chine.
The man who uses his hammer to loosen
a bolt because his wrench is not handy, OF
who makes a hammer Of his wrench be
cause the proper tool is not in its place, is
an Improbable servant and will eventu-
ally prove a source Of loss; and the man
who will spend half an hour in fixing up a
drill or cutter 10 suit his work, spelling il
for all future use, rather than devote few
minutes to a search for the exact article he
requires, will never earn "mill' for his

Alvino Alaniz, Mexican ranchman o.

and camped at night by little creek that

was squatted by the fire smoking the IN.

sprang upon him from the dark.
The little beast, with every hair standing
on end and his Jaws dropping foam. struck
him full in the face and fastened its teeth
in his nose. The animal bore Alani1 back

endeavored to defend himself with his
hands. but to no avail The coyote snap

About 200 900 pounds Of WhRlebone were

The ability to state a case so clearly as to

valuable gift, but unfortunately all per
sons do not possess It. A political conven
ton was being held for the purpose OF

How jew Was Put TO Death by Burning.
Among the Jews a criminal sentenced to
death by burning was executed in the fol
lowing manner; A shallow pit, some two
feet deep, was dug in the ground. In this
the culprit was placed, standing upright.
Around his legs earth was shoveled and
battered firmly down until he was fixed up
to his knees 10 the soil. Movement on the
part Of the condemned person was of course
impossible; but care was taken that the
limbs should not be painfully constrained.
A strong cord was now brought, and
very soft cloth wrapped around it. This
was passed once around the offenders neck.
Two men then came forward; each grasped
an end Of the rope and pulled hard. SuffO-
cation was immediate. As the condemned
man felt the strain Of tine cord, and insen-
sibility supervened, the lower jaw dropped.
Into the mouth thus opened lighted wick
was quickly thrown This constituted the
burning. American Notes and Queries

Touching the matter of eating, the
stories told by the old chroniclers and his
torians Of the abnormal sppetites Of GER
tain Roman and oriental men of note fair
" stagger belief. Gibbon tells Of SOliman,
q caliph in the Eighth century, who died Of
indigestion In his camp near Chalcis, in
Syria, Just as he was about TO lead an
army Of Arabs against ConstantinOple. He
had emptied two baskets Of eggs and figs,
which he swallowed alternately, and the
repast was finished with marrow and
sugar In pilgrimage to Mecca the same
caliph had eaten with impunity, at single
meal, seventy pOmegranates, kid, six
fowls and huge quantity Of the grapes Of
Taysf
Such a statement would defy belief were
not others Of a similar character well
avouched. Louis XIV could hardly boast
Of an appetite as ravenOus as SOliman's,
but he would eat at sitting four platefuls
Of different soups, whole pheasant, a
partridge, a plateful Of salad, mutton
hashed with garlic, two good sized slices
Of ham, a dish Of pastry and finish with
fruit and sweetmeats. Shade Of Hippo

lined with brick or concrete. The plan Is
first to dredge out bed or seat on the line
Of the desired tunnel and then to dump
clay into this cutting on the river bottom.
Then the tube is to be hoated into posi-

the tube clay in bags is to be deposited
until the tube is completely covered, and
