THE OUTLOOK IMPROVING.

The announcement from Washington
that the British government has assured
the administration that the flying
%eQuadron's destination has not yet been
determined upon, and thSt there Ia no
intention to send any more Wal vessels
into American waters at present, Ia
gratifying news to the people of the
United States, who would most certainly
regard the gathering Of more battle
ship, at the Bermuda Islands as q direct
affsont to this country. The further
assurance from Washington that the
Venezuelan mstter is in a fair way OF
adjustment will also afford great relief
to the public mind, which has been
more or less in a state OF excitement
since the President promulgated the
dispute with Vene zuels.

Kamr Dentistry.

The method Of extracting teeth
among the IAafirs is barbarous in the
extreme, and reminds one Of the tor
lures Of the Dark Ages
The patient is placed on the ground,
and four men are employed to hold
him down, two taking his arms and
two his legs. Then the operator kneels
down beside him, and taking piece Of
sharpened ivory, steel or wood, he
calmly proceeds to hack away at the
gums nutil the offending tooth is loose.
He then extracts it with finger and
thumb, the patient having suffered,
naturally, unspeakable agonies.
The time occupied in the operation is
often Of long duration, sometimes ex-
tending over as much as thirty min
utes; but, of course, this varies accord
ing to the strength of the tooth. Per
sons in this country who make prac-
tice of taking an anaesthetic while
having a tooth extracted would prob
ably find the operation as performed
by the haffir dentist little trouble
some, to say the least.
OF course the Kaffirs dwe..ing in or
near the towns go to the ordinary dent
list; but those living far away from
civilization have no alternative but to
resort to the methods described above.

The young King OF Seryia, although

father Of King Milan was common

Wales is afflicted with varicose veins,

that the English owe the abolition of
the knee breaches, the black silk stock

There have been some seasons when
the Prince has been compelled to have
his legs bandaged up twice and three
times a day. His charming wife, the
Princess, suffers from a. stiff knee
which renders it difficult for. her to as

able to hook her right knee around the

Contrast the American Sovereign, a

Sovereign.
The two are physically and mentally
poles apart. The one is, as rule,
strong, healthy, happy and ambitious;

enfeebled body and weak mind will
permit
70 stronger argument could be put
forward against the ridiculous preju-
dice that prevails in the old world
against mesalliances than brief re-
view OF the leading members Of the
reigning houses of Europe. Few people
realize to- what extent these self-styled
anointed of the Lord are afflicted with
the ills of the flesh, ills which are en-
tlrely attributable to the appalling pow
erty of their blood, vitiated by a long
successionof marriages between princes
and pnincesses too closely related.
There is no worse blood from phys
zeal point Of view than what is known
as .blood royal" and unless the reign
ing dynasties of Europe infuse the
strains Of the thin blue fluid that mean
ders feebly through their veins with
some of the generous, thick, dark-red
blood of the common people, they are
doomed to extinction, preceded by de-
cay, bodily as we'll as mental.
