Dentistry Without Pain.

I have at last solved the problem of
preparing teeth for filing with no
pain. This is done by the recently
discovered electric instrument which
is simple, scientific and painless, and
is applied to the tooth with no dis
comfort to patient, but allows me to
cut out the cavity, or remove the
nerve, without least pain. As you
know, I also extract teeth without
pain.
My Bossier friends and patients
will find me at the same stand.

Imposing Upon the sehoo1ma'ams.

The teachers applying for certificates
before the county school superintendent
will conclude their labors about or 5
O'Clock this afternoon. The several pa
pers will then be passed upon and GER
iicates granted, according to their ex-
ceilence or lack of it., by the superintend-
ent. This work will hardly be finished
before Tuesday, as it involves great
amount of labor. There are ten studies,
and ten questions in each study. There
being twenty-eight applicants, this
means $500 answers to be examined.
Really there are about 1900 answers to
look over, for many questions are sub
divided and require separate answers.
The ten studies are as follows: Or
written arithmetic, mental arithmetic,
grammar, history, physiology, theory
and practice. The questions upon arith-
metic are conceded TO be more difficult
than any other study and are certain to
greatly lower the average. There are
few having collegiate education who
could answer them after leaving the
walls of college year or two. For in
stance question No. 5, which involves
the remembrance of certain formula ::
"Find the diameter of a circular island
containing five square miles," Question
6 is ridiculous: ga certain room is 26
feet long and 20 feet wide. How many
feet is it from one of the lower corners
to an opposite upper corner?" Mr..
Shelley says he won't work at that until
he knows the height of the room, and
the teachers wonder what sort of room
it was the fellow was in who formulated
that question. The reporter gives it up.

-The-soAool-Enumeratlon.

The school clerk is about half through
taking enumeration oTschool children.
He believes there -RNl be about per
cent increase of enumaration. The ratio
may be figured out by the following fig
ures of the number of school children
for the years named: 1892, S6S; 1898,
9o7; 1894, 1858; 1895, 1912. The more
children found and enumerated, the
better it is for the district. For each
child of school age, So of school money
per year. is allowed the district, which is
taken from the state school fund.
There is also the mill school tax on
property in the county, to be used for
school purposes. Consequently the
more children there Ere, the greater
should be the facilities for teaching
them, and Mr.. Jacobsen has proved him
self very efficient in ferreting them all
out%and consequently emitting the diA-
trict toits proper share of school money.

The postofice reports largely in
creased amount of business today, due
to good st. Valentine. Those who are
fortunate in receiving the tinted, scent

when opening the envelopes; but those
who draw therefrom daub of the one

farther down.
A dispatch was received this after
noon stating that the Fitzsimmons-
Maher prize fight, which was to have
taken place today near Ell Paso, Texas,
has been postponed, and will occur Mon
day. All cars in and around the city
have been chartered for use, as it is ex-
pected the fight will occur about sixty
miles from that city. The principals
and all connected are trying to elude the
vigilance of the authorities, SO that de-
tails are hard to get.
The residents of Chinatown have been
exploding frecrackersj for several days
commemorating their New Year. The
small boy deplores the reckless waste of
shooting large punches off at once, for
he would string them out and prolong
the enjoyment. The Chinese have the
Oldest authenticated history, and their
customs have followed down the ages
unchanged, but their persistence in
clinging to ancient modes and ideas
have made them, as race, unfit to cope
with any other civilized people in art,
science or warfare.
