Mysteri0us Dentlstry.

snan whom the describer-Mr. COllins-
wood, In his "Rambles Of Naturalist"
calls mountebank. Probably the
title was deserved, but some readers
may be ready to wish that American
dentists could learn his secret.
He was a Chinese, and, standing In
a public place, he loudly invited pa
tients to be relieved Of their trouble
some teeth. Several persons came for
ward, and the treatment was not q
little singular and puzzling.
Clapping a red plaster upon the
cheek, over the spot where the guilty
tooth was situated, he at the same time
put inside the mouth small quantity
OF some kind OF white paste. Then, In.
sorting an instrument which looked
something like an ordinary dentists

Poet O'Rciily's Good Fellowship.


Stories OF John Boyle O'Reilly's good
fellowship and generosity are still cur
rent In Boston. A stranger installing
him for a friend approached him from
behind. slapped him on the shoulder.
and greeted him as Jack with all the
warmth Of q lifelong friendship.
O'Reilly turned to face a very Gun.
barrassed man and said, holding out
his hand, "I'm not Jack, but I'm glad
to know and be the friend of any man
that IL as glad to see his friend as you
seem to be-"
While O'Reilly was reading one OF
his poems after semi-public dinner.
and, as usual. was deeply absorbed In
the task, a negro waiter walked across
the floor with creaking shoes. O'Reilly,
much annoyed, stopped and addressed
half dozen bitter words to the waiter.
Tho waiter was thoroughly unhappy
ut the incident, and a guest who left
the table after the poem was finished
found O'Reilly In the hall humbly
apologizing to the negro and thrustinG

characteristic Of the machine Il the up.

claimed by the People of Holland.
The people of Holland have under.
taken a gigantic work by means of
which they expect to recover the larger
part of the territory now covered by
the Zuyder Zee, the inland sea Of the
country. and turn 1t again into fer.
tile farming region. says the Milwau.
kee Journal. 1t is now just five CEN
turtles since the inuudation Of that
part Of the Netherlands now covered
by the Zuyder Zee was completed the
encroachmen;s OF the sea having been
going on for 22o years. previous to
which time the territory was covered
with forests. by the most stupendous
exertions about $50 square miles Of
country has already been recovered
by an elaborate dixie system which
has gradually reclaimed section after
section that was lost, but the new
scheme transcends the previous work
In extent and Importance. The towns
OF the region which had become Of con.
siderable Importance as seaports
through the bringing Of the waters
vt the ocean TO their doors have lost
considerable Of that Importance
through the difficulties Of navigation
and the transfer Of the trade to the
North Holland Canal and the Y Ship
Canal. which connects the metropolis
with the ocean. ON this account the
remnants Of commerce are not worth
as much to the towns rs the country
would be after II Is reclaimed. and
therefore there Is general acQulesccnce
In the plan to drive the ocean out.
On account of the great cost Il will
bc distributed over a period Of thirty.
three years. 30 rs to make II less op.
pressive and to make the benefits grad.
ually bear their share Of the expense.
A colossal seq wall Is first to be built
from North Holland to Friesland. shut.
ting out the tides Of the ocean. This
wall will be 216 feet wide Mt the base
and the top will be seventeen feet
above the sea level. while along the
Inner side and ut some distance below
che top will be a track wide enough
for a wagon road and a railway. Az.
ter the sea 10 barred out the incloscd
space to be reclaimed will inclose
within separate cmbankments four
areas containing In the aggregate go
square miles. One of these areas will
be first drained by pumping the water
over the embankment, the water find
ing Its way to the sea through tho
main channel, and rs the shallowci
portions become exposed they will be
successfully brought under cultiva
ton. 1t Is calculated that within ter
years 5000 acres can be made an
nually available. and In the end the
finland sea will be reduced to channe
about fifteen miles wide called the
Ysselmecr, connecting with the sea
by locks at wieringcn. with Ans
terdam by branch three miles wide
and by another with the mouth Of thu
Yssel. The plan has received the sane
tion OF the Government. and the en-
