Their Success as Dentists-Deiicate Skill
In Handling Tools.
Among the self-supporting women of
The future will be numbered many who
have taken up the profession of dentis-
try. Several of the colleges in different
parts of the country have opened their
doors to them, and among the gradu-
ates have been, besides our own country
women, German frauleins and English

as the superior facilities for study,
America ranking first in the profession
of dentistry.
New York already has six or more
successful women dentists who are in
terested in their profession, find it in
every way agreeable and-an important
feature for the majority--very remun-
erative. The exaggerated feature of
the dentists chair that seems Unborn
in every human breast gives the iru-
preston that the profession is not one
that thoroughly womanly woman
would care to adopt. That the reverse
is true is proved by the refined and
cultivated women who have taken it up.

branch of the works now done, ex-

by specialists. The wholesale extract

the motto of the dentist of to-day is to
save, not to destroy. A degree is more
easily obtained than in the medical
professional,ftwo years covering the
college course, and the practitioner has
the advantage of working in the Sc

such hours as she sees fit.

WALLED IN BY CORAL.
Natives Found on the Hidden Plateau o
Very Little Island.


Very Little Island.
A curious discovery was recently
made on the island of Kitaba, one of
the Trobriand group, off the northeast
coast of New Guinea. A great many
sailors passing this little island have
imagined that it had no inhabitants, be-
cause they saw no evidence of human
occupation Sir William McGregor, the
administrator of British New Guinea,
says the island has an area of only five
or six square miles. On ali sides it
presents low and slightly sloping
margin, usually about quarter of
mile broad, covered by heavy timber.
Within is a precipitous coral wall which
can be assembled only at few places.
The bank rises to height of three
hundred or four hundred feet. Once at
the top the visitor finds within the
wall plateau which occupies the
whole of the center of the island and is
from fifty to one hundred feet below
the coral wall surrounding it.
There about one thousand natives
live and till their gardens. The rich,
chocolate colorcd soil yields them an
ample supply of food. They are com
pletely protected from the wind by the
rocky rim that incloses their plateau.
The island seems to have been an atoll
which was lifted above the sea several
hundred feet, so that the atoll ring now
forms the coral wall surrounding
the plateau. On this elevated and
almost inaccessible plain are thir-
teen villages, each of which con.
tains over twenty houses Sir Will
lam McGregor say the natives gave him
a most pleasant reception, He found
it difficult to travel through some vii.
lagos on account of the vans, cocoa
nuts, mats, and other articles that
were laid down before him for his ac.
ceptance. There are no inter-tribal
hostilities, and it is not possible for the
natives of other islands to Cypress the
people, because on their plateau, ma.
turally fortified as it is, they are mac.
cessible to hostile tribes. The drainage
of the plateau is excellent. There are
great cavities in the coral wall through
which the rainfall filters and makes il
way to the sea.-Chicago Times.

PUSH AND PULL.

Success Does Not Come to Him Who waits
for It.
The old rroverb that all things
come to him who waits advances n
very pretty and pleasant theory, but
its literal Interpretation makes 1t capa-
bic of great miscohstruction for II II
is in one sense true, its reverse is equals
ly true Nothing comes TO him who
waits and does no more. There is moth.
ing in the world that is OF any value
that has not TO be struggled fort and
those who sit down and fold their
hands, expecting fate and fortune to
bring them what they most desire, will
meet with the disappointment they de-
serve.
We have to be governed very largely
by the analogies of nature whenever
we venture into the realm of the posi-.
bilities and the unknown, and there is
no analogy in nature of something be-
ing given for nothing. The seed has TO
push through the ground to find the
sun; the tree has to draw its sap up
from unseen sources to whirl forth its
buds; the bud itself has to force its way
through obstacles of bark and fiber; the
bird has to build its nest with careful
endeavor and many journeys ere it
feeds the little wings beneath its breast
the gold has to be mined, the precious
stone dug from the matrix, the diamond
has to undergo fierce processes of grind
ing and securing before its facets shine
like living light. Struggle is the rule
of life; were it otherwise, it would
seem as though we might all of MS have
BEEN put upon the planet in conditions
of luxury and case and cminence that
would require no effort on our part,
and leave us free for all the enjoyment
the world affords. But what soft, un-
tempered, worthless metal we should
be in such case! 1t is the fire that
tcmpers the steel, it is the hammer that
YIELDS it, the grinding, whirling stone
that brings it to an edge.
In running for race, in seeking any
athletic distinction, it is training that
strips the muscles of all dcmoralzing
incumbrance and let's that muscle
strive for all it is worth, and training,
discipline, effort, are the steps to sue
cess of any sort that amounts to much.
That which is gained without effort
comes TO unawaiencd nerve and flaccid
fiber, and is enjoyed in spirit of in
dolcncc hardly better than that of the
dormouse in his sleep, and mentally and
morally the recipient is hurt rather
than helped by it. Struggle brightens,
sharpens, rounds and perfects the ma
ture. we are born of it; the very worlds
struggle into life, and shape themselves
by means of it from gaseous masses of
fire out to green fields, blue skies and
pleasant waters; and why should we
expect to escape our conditions? BE
assured that that which is worth hav-
ing is worth working for. and that the
poets famous line, "They also serve
who only stand and wait" refers to no
such waiting as inglorious quiesence
would imply, but to a waiting which
itself is the hardest struggle of an inn
patient spirit. For the familiar line is

DAILY DISHONESTY.
Women and Men Practice Many Modes OF
Deceit.

Women and Men Practice Many Modes OF
Deceit.
Are we naturally dishonest?" is a
question that rises in the mind when
we witness daily exhibitions of petty
deceit that are just as criminal as
though of great Importance and involv-
ing larger issues, Do we not see
women and men in street cars wilfully
cheat the conductor out of five cents if
the poor man overlooks its collection?
And how sly they are. First they hold
that nickel quite openly in the hand,
but as the squares glide by and the
conviction is forced upon them that
they are not going to be called upon for
it, just note the maneuvers to get that
bit of money either inside the glove or
into the pocket. They glance all about
the car to see il anyone has
noticed the money waiting to be
given; if assured on this point
they nonchalantly gaze out of the win
dow and commence surreptitious
movement with thumb and forefnger
to slide that nickel out of sight. This
once accomplished, they sink into their
seat with an "Ive conquered" express
sion and feel happier over those five
cents dishonesty acquired than over
five dollars actually and rightfully
earned Likewise do we ever find any
fault with our change if a mistake
happens to be in our favor? No indeed,
we gaze at it doubtfully at first then,
if there is only one cent too much, we
absolutely glow with satisfaction at
the unexpected bounty and never feel
it our duty to say word to the erring
accountant whose head we would snap
off without hesitation were the mis-
take on the other side. 1t must be
born in us, as little of Old Adam that
crops out.

ANOTHER DULL WEEK.
The Tobacco Journals Review of the
Winston Market.

Another week of very small receipts
has passed. The dry weather has
made it almost impossible to handle
tobacco, the farmers being unable to
either ship or market their crops.
A slight season yesterday made tobac-
co soften some but not enough to
make sales active.
The month just passed has been one
of the dullest Octobers in warehouse
sales ever known; In Danville the
receipts were nearly million pounds
less than during the same month last
year, and high receipts are reported
from all the inland markets.
Prices are stiff on all stock offered.
The trade is anxious to buy and bid
ding is spirited on every sale. Good
filters are much sought after, while
medium working Tugs bring outside
prices. Wrappers are in strong de-
mand by local buyers and manufac-
turers, with but slight trading in
hogshead lots. 1t is not likely that
there will be much activity in wrap
pers before after the new year.
The quality of stock offered this
week was good, showing some improve
ment in the working grades. The
crop is now conceded to be a good one
for plug work and viii give satisfac-
tion to the trade.
A statement published in this issue
shows that Winston is still ahead OF
last year in plug shipments. This
speaks well for the town in a dull
year like this. Sales for the next two
months are expected to be large and
run the total sales for the year be-
yond the eleven million mark.
The following statement of STAMP
sales shows good shipments for the
| week.

THE SUICIDE
@. F. Beven' Found Dead in a Barn
Near Town.

A white mans dead body was found
in the barn of p. III. Hanes, two miles
northwest of Winston, at two O'Clock
Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Sam Russell while hunting
eggs discovered the body and spread
the news.
In company with Policemen Adams
and Hasten SENTINEL reporter went
to the scene at four O'Clock. The
mans face was covered with blood:
no one could identify him.
There was bullet hole in his right
temple. A flask of whiskey was in
his inside pocket.
A watch in his vest pocket was run
ming. His body appeared to be warm
showing recent death. He was about
49 years old.
A note was found in his breast coat
pocket reading as follows:
Everything is lost. No friends to
help us. No one to save us from. the

my body and soul to my Crea-
tor, hoping he will forgive the sin

mercy on the family.
sc. +. BEvEN."
The verdict of the coroner's inquest
was that it was case Of suicide;
that the deceased fired the fatal shot
with his own hands.
The father says his son left home in
Salem Friday night, saying that he
was going out to Waughtown. AS he
often took long walks to the country
his father did not take any note Of
his absence until the news of his
death came.
The deceased was suffering with
acute neuralgia in his head for day
or two. This, it is belle fed by the
members of the family, affected his
mind and caused bim to end
his life. He was 4S years, 10 months
and days old. Besides father and
mother and brother here, ,he leaves a
wife and son who reside in PennSyl-
vapia.
The remains were carried to the
home of the father Saturday night,
at which place the funeral services
were held at three O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, conducted by Rev. Ell. A.
Brown, assisted by Rev. S. B. Turren-
tine. The body was then laid to rest
in the Salem cemetery.
