OLDEST DENTIST IN AMERICA.

Gently celebrated his 9sth birthday
at his residence, Rockland. He was
born Of wealthy parents in London,
England, but through the dishonesty
Of a clerk his father was ruined when
young Baynes was l6 years old. Ten
years later the young man sailed for
America, learned the watchmaker's
trade in New York, and then went
to Boston, where he studied dentistry
for five years. After practicing in
Boston for years he moved to Rock
land, where he has been for thirty
five years. For half a century he has

For whom Do women.D ress7

The answer to this question is
quite different from what it could
have been even a few years ago, says
Annie Jenness-Miller, in the Dress
Reformer, and is going to be quite
different in a few years more from
what it is at present AS women
come more and more into the active
fields of public life it is certain that
they must reject clothing which
handicaps effort and destroys health.
The business woman more than any
other should seek to make herself at
tractive and pleasing to the eye, for
she is dependent upon public ap-
proval and Endorsement for much of
her success. She less than any other
woman IA afford to be regarded as
.'peculiar," 'outlandish," ssodd," "a
fright" "without style" Accepted
and u%nreasoning conventionality have
had in the past more to do with the
dress of woman than anything else.
She has dressed to please u%nreasoning
or worse fashion leaders, SO. callcd,
rather than to suit herself or any
other individual. whether man or
woman. With the emancipation of
woman from blind and u%nreasoning
prejudice she is bound to adopt q
dress the essential principle of which
will be comfort, health, and beauty.
This will conduce greatly to woman's
usefulness and success in life, and in
c%identally will please herself, other
women, and likewise men-all d.
least of both sexes who are capable Of
approaching what is worthy Of APP
probation.

~Typewriting by Wire.

The telotype, or electrical type
writer, has been designed to meet
the requirements of a rapid and re-
liable printing telegraph instrument,
which has long been needed. This
instrument is manipulated very much
in the same way as a typewriter.
The transmitter as we'll as the re-
ceiver makes a copy Of the message,
and the liability Of mistakes is thus
largely decreased. The instruments
work Ia unison, and it is impossible
to send a message from one machine
unless the corresponding machine at
the end of the distant line is prop

printed on the strip of moving paper
In front of the operator. The same
instrument can send and receive.

Young Hawkes. Also Had . Fair Share Of
Conceit.
Robert S. Hawkes.. always known
as sthe Vicar OF MorwenstOwe," and
Q poet Of no mean ability, was
brought up by his grandfather, a
very learned and religious man. In
the church where this old gentlemen
preached the evening service always
closed with a hymn, "Lord, dismiss
US with thy blessing" which was
composed by Doctor Hawkes. himself.
His grandson. who did not know the
authorship of the hymn, came to the
Doctor one day with a paper in his
hand, saying:
Grandfather, 1 don't altogether
like that hymn, Lord, dismiss us
with thy blessing I think it might
be improved in metre and language,
and that it would be better IL it were
somewhat longer"
"Oh, indeed!" said Doctor Hawkes.,
reddening. "And pray, Robert, what
improvements commend themselves
to your precious wisdom?"
This Is my improved version"
said Robert, and he read aloud a
very creditable hymn, after which
he repeated the old version, saying
innocently, "lhis one is crude and
flat; don't you think SO, grand
father?:"
*Crude and fiat, sir! Young puppy,
1T is mine! 1 wrote that hymn!"
sOh, l beg your pardon, grand
father! 1 didn't know that. It's a
very nice hymn, indeed, but" as he
went out of the dOor-@mine is
better!!"
Some people think he was right in
his Judgment, though not, perhaps,
in expressing it.
Such a mfschievous fellow was
Robert that the parish clerk once
exclaimed:
Il doan't a whether I ring the
bells on the kings birthday, but If 1
never touch the ropes again, I'LL give
a peal when Robert goes to school
and leaves Stratton folks in peace!"
II don't know how it u.s." said his
brother one day, "but when I go out
nutting with Robert, he gets all the
nuts; when I go rabbiting, he gets
all the rabbits, and when we go out
fishing together, he catches all the
fish,"
sCome with me fishing tomorrow"
said Robert, "and sec IL you don't
have luck"
Next day he slyly fastened a
red herring to his brothers. hook.
sThere," he exclaimed, when 1T was
drawn out of the water, syou are
twice as lucky as I am! My fish are
all raw, and yours is ready-cleaned,
smoked and salted!"-Youth's Com

Necessities of Camp Life.

They were a family of nine, set down
among the rocks and sands and pines
to begin living. "Nothing to sit on,

to lay a thing down or hang it up,
two miles from an egg and six miles
from a safety-pin."

since we had been 10 the open air all

In an out-of-thc.way nook in the
British Museum the sight-seer is con-
fronted by q d~ust-covered object,
which q first sight would be taken
for a gigantic milestone. But it is
not a corr grinder, neither is it q
cast of an Esklmo's hut. nor of

trary, it is n of.the most sacred orl.
entail relics in existence-the tomb
of Alexander the Great. The reader
who takes an interest in the curious
points of history will remember, says
the st. Louis Republic, that 1t has
been said Of Alexander that he was
'sborn in Europe, died in Asia, and is
buried in Africa. He was born In
Pella. Macedonia. (Which is In Eur
ope, Of course) died near Babylon,
Asia, and was finally buried at Alex.
andta, Egypt. Preparatory to remov-
ing the remains from Babylon to
Alexandria a solid gold coffin was pro-
vided and filled with honey. In this
costly receptacle the body OF the con.
Queror was tenderly laid, and convey.
ed across the deserts to Alexandria, q
distance of over 1000 miles. This
curious funeral pageant, led by sixty
four white mules drawing the inn
mense funeral car, is said to have
been composed of yer 1000 persons
including some 5000 slaves
AT Alexandria the Golden coffin was
deposited in a circular (or, as Dr.
Clarkc's account says. "a cistern-
shaped") sarcophagus of green stone,
aud enshrined at the great mosque Of
st. Athanasius. 1t is hardly to The
credit of the British Museum officials,
or to the English people. that this
tomb Is now on exhibition at their

lated by Selencus Cibofactes who
carried away the golden coffin and
left the c%onqueror's bones in a badly
jumbled mass at the bottom of the
tomb. Finally the remains we s.re-
ligiously cared for by some of the
worshippers at the shrine," but no

were deposited. The empty green.

wheI DR.. Clarke obtained possession
OF it and shipped it to England. 1t
will be remembered that that was
the year of the French invasion of
Egypt. Menon, the French general.
had promised and guaranteed to the
Moslems the invlolable possession Of
their sanctuaries. but as soon as they
were in possession of the city of Alex.

and took charge Of the conqueror's
tomb. When the British heard this
they wrcsted it from the French and
sent it to England, and put it ON ex-
hibition in their great London Mu-
sueum.

The Remedial Use of APPLES.

Chemically the apples is composed
of vegetable fiber. albumin, sugar,
gum chlorophyl, malic acid, gallic
acid, lime. and much water. Further
more the German analysts say that
the apple contains a larger percent
age Of phosphorus than any other
fruit or vegetable. The phosphorus
is admirably adapted for renewing
the essential nervous matter, lecithin
Of the brain and spinal cord. 1t is,
perhaps, for the same reason. rudelY
understood, that old Scandinavian
traditions represent the apple as the
food Of the gods. who, when they felt
themselves growing feeble and in
firm. resorted to this fruit renewing
their powers of mind and body. Also,
the acids of the apple are of singular
use for men Of s%edentary habits, whose
ltvers are sluggish in action, those
acids serving to eliminate from the
body noxious matters, which, if re-
tanned would make the brain heavy
and dull, or bring about jaundice or
skin eruptions and other allied
troubles. Some such an experience
must have led to our custom of TAX
ing apple sauce with roast pork. rich
goose, and like dishes. The malic
acid of ripe apples. either raw or
cooked, will neutralize any excess of
chalky matter engendered by eating
too much meat 1t is also the fact
that such rich fruits as the apple, the
pear. and the plum, when taken ripe
and without sugar, diminish acidity
in the stomach, rather than provoke
it Their vegetable sauces and juices
are converted into alkaline carbon
ates, which tend to counterfeit acid.
