TO STUDY CONVERSATION.
Vienna Dentists to Pc Taught How to
 Amuso Patients.


 Tho dental profession in Vienna has formed novel society, which proposes to instruct it's members in the art of pleasing conversation, gaInished by light anecdote. The theory of this IS that the patients undergoing long and difficult dental operations need to De amused and entertained.
 The preamble to the call of the soc1e- ty recited the fact that the modern race of dentists Is giving altogether too much time and attention to the selen- tific side Of the profession and not do- ing enough to attract and interest it's clients. Careful, persistent and thorough work, 1t went on to say, is one thing, and it is highly necessary that no oper- ating dentist should forget that the pa- tient in the chair has none of this kind of stimulus-nothingw whatever to inter- est him-and is generally suffering, be- sides. The real dentist should be man of two sides He should be able to to his work deftly and quickly and at tae same time by clever talk keep his pa tient's s mind of the operation
 Hitherto the dentists. from the mo- ment they began their course of study, have set their attention severely upon practical science and have given no time at al to the lighter side of life. The greater number of them are hard stu dents always, and they let the frivolous side of the world go in their pursuit of knowledge.
 This has given the American dentists who have settled abroad in the eon6nen- tai towns opportunity to work up large and feurishiag practice merely be- cause they have taken pains to be inter- esting to their patients and have amused them.

Government Representative Wishes to Buy
 Twenty Thousand Craycatonos.

Twenty Thousand Cravestones.
 One man has advertised for 20. GOO grayestones. This seems rather star ting at first hearing but it is not SC much SO in fact The United States government is a large buyer ill the va rious markets of the country. It buys almost everything, from whale oil and wheat to tape and typewriters, but per haps its most remarkable purchase is grayestones at wholesale The quarter master general of the army is the one who advertised for the reminders of mans mortality. Half the number are to be headstones and half footstones. 1t IS only two years since q large num- ber Was bought. so it would seem that Uncle Sam has many graves 10 mark
 The stones are bought under an act providing that any soldier CT sailor having an honorable discharge from service is entitled to have his last rest ing place marked by inc government. The friends and relatives, too, of many of the veterans are proud to apply for these grayestones and consider if m honor to the dead to have the graves thus marked.
 The government pays about 8 each for them when it buys in such large quantities. They are cut from fine mar ble, but are plain aad unpretentious in design. Upon proper application they are marked with the veterans fnll name, date Of birth and death and the numher of his regiment. Then they are shipped to the designated spot and set up at the expense of the goyornlnent.- New York Journal

and Russia, ever had covetous eyes on the
possessions of the Shah and winked at his

Probably the most atrocious of the
many crimes of the Persian monarch was
the cruel death meted out to the governor
of Matzendor, Abdullah Kulah, whom
he sentenced to he boiled alive in Il cal
