From the Chicago Chropicle.


Many Chicago dentists object to women
IN their profession, not from motives Of
jealousy, but because the feminine tooth
doctors are as a class too frank by far.
Il don't know about the work of the wo-
man dentist compared with that of man.
said a woman who has patronixed both,
"but this do know: They're much franker
about their methods; they make no bones,
not only about acknowledging that there
are plenty of tricks to the trade, but of
laying bare those tricks upon occasions.

The Antiquity of Ice Cream.

From the Gentlemans Magazine.
Ice cream is an older sweetmeat than
many would suppose. In the beginning of
the seventeenth century goblets made Of ice
and also iced fruit, i.e., fruit frozen over,
were first brought to table. The limonadiers
or lemonade sellers of Paris endeavored to
increase the popularity Of their wares by
icing them; and one more enterprising than
the rest, an Italian named Procope Cou-
teaux, in the year 1860. conceived the idea
Of converting such beverages entirely into
ice, and about twenty years later iced
liquors. i.e, liquors changed into ice, were
the principal things sold by the limona-
diers. By the end of that century iced
liquors were quite common in Paris. Ice
cream, or iced butter" as 1t was first call
ed from it's supposed resemblance to that
substance, soon followed. 1t was first
known in Paris in 1774.
The Due de Chartris often went at that
time to the Paris coffee houses to drink
glass of iced liquor, and the landlord, hav-
ing one day presented him with his arms"
formed in edible ice, this kind Of sweetmeat
became the fashion. German cooks at once
took up the new art. It was not long in
reaching England, for in 1776 a French
cook resident in London, named Clermont,
wrote 1.-The Modern Cook" In which sweet
ices were first described for the instruction
Of English cooks. Present-day cooks have
elaborated the ice enormously.

Watermelons for Christmas.
From the Baltimore Sun.


The people Of Budford. Ca. were posi-
bly, the only ones in this country who lux
uriated on watermelon for a Christmas
dessert. A dispatch from that place says
Mr.. Werner, prominent farmer. brought
in on Christmas eve q two-herse wagon
load of magnificent specimens of melons.
He halted his team in the public square,
and in a few minutes the unique spectacle
attracted large crowd. 1.-THE colored peo-
ple," says a Budford dispatch, who have
a constitutional weakness for watermelons,
eyed them ravenously from afar of, and
when one of their Eumber, more venture
some than his fellows. inquired the price,
shudder of disappointment ran around
the group when he returned and informed
them that the price was prohibitive. But
Mr.. Werner did not lack for customers.
Some of the most prominent merchants and
business men. as we'll as few farmers not
so enterprising as their fellow agriculturfst,
purchased melons and had them taken to
their homes. Mr.. Werner cut several for
the benefit Of his friends, and they looked
and tasted as IL they had just come from
an August field. Some of the lovers of the
fruit paid a high price for it, but they said
they were more than compensated by the
satisfaction of eating 1t at this season. Mr.
Werner was last seen in the midst of a
group Of admirers, giving them a careful
description Of the way in which the Santa
Claus melons were cultivated"

st. James. Port Clinton was decided upon
as the county seat of Ottawa county by
commissioners appointed by the legislature
H. 1910. In 1885 the citizens of Oak Har-
Dor. who are Jealous of Port Clinton, got
permission from the legislature to have
the question of removal left to a vote. In
1877 another effort was made, and again in
1854 Two successive defeats did not ap-
pear to be enough, SO the people of the
COZ nty were again called upon in 1871 to
crush The hopes of Oak Harbor And the
fight is still on. Oak Harbor will ask the
coming legislature for another enabling

of the location of the court house is ever
agitating. Yes, IL you want fun, embark

The Language of Eden.
from the Scottish America


The Scottish Highlanders have always
been firmly convinced that Adam and Eve
used eta Gaelic" and 1t is gratifying to
find that philologists, as they grow wiser.
are coming round to the same opinion. 1t
is true that they have made no express ad-
mission to this effect as yet, but there is
evidence that we are on the eve of an &C
acknowledgement that Gaelic was the original
language of the human race.
The latest deliverance on the subject, If
1t does not altogether silence those skeptics
and scoffers who derided this article of
Highland faith, ought to at least make
them give pause. DR.. Leitner, distin-
guished German orientalist and philologist,
has declared Gaelic to be contemporary
or derivative Of the Prakft closely allied to
the spoken language out Of which SanScrit
became written language" He even goes
So far as to assert that there seem to be in
the Gaelic certain survivals Of g. prehis-
toric language"
Clearly this points In the direction of the
Highland contention, and the present ac-
Acknowledgement, therefore, although tardy,
and not, perhaps, quite so full as might be
desired, will no doubt be welcome.
But Gaelic has another, Distinction. 1t is,
as even the Sassenach kpowa. the language
to swear in. The distinction, however, is
that one does not quite harmonic with the
theory of It's Paradisaica origin.

An Atlanta man who Has been fishing in
Florida is responsible for sthe following:
He followed the custom anf cast his line
in with the rest of them. In few mo-
ments he landed forty-pohnder. Every
body fiocked about him to- zee the big fish
and congratulate him on bis luck. The
fish was q beauty. and visions Of fish
chowder came to the minds Of the other
fishermen, when the tenderyhearted fisher
man from Atlanta to6kl his catch and
tossed It back in the water. The spec
tators were dumfounded, but the Atlanta
man said he did not want the hsh and
would not eat It for the world. His queer
action was remarkable enough, but the
story does not end there He cast his line
again, and. strange to tell. In q few min
utes he captured the same fish again. It
was rather remarkable. and created some
wonder. but that was not the end: He
"a rest of half hour. For the third time
he tried his luck. and In few minutes
he landed the same fish. Back to the
water went the fish, only to be caught
again inside OF ten minutes. How long
this was kept mp the truthful fisherman
refuses to say. but the story goes that
he caught that same fish more than hum
dred times q day for at least q week.
Just Why the fish would not bite any other
hook than that of the Atlanta man is not
known. and why he persisted getting
carght again and again Is mystery. but

From the San Francisco Call.
San Francisco has a novelty in a tele-
phone exchange for the use of the Chinese
merchants of Chinatown. Now, Ching Soy
Sing is a Understanding young man. but
1t is evident that he feels his position. for
he says he is the first Chinese telephone
'opelata' in the world. The Chinese who

corning the mystery of voice sailing over
a wire and would stand from the phone as
far as the receiver would permit but the
''unnaturalness" of the system is gradually
working off and seemingly all will be in
working order before many days.

entitled "a Womsn's Tale; a Story of

is forceful in its descriptive qualities,
and conveys truthful impression of
the indignities and agouies of the
