The manufacture and use of false
teeth is undoubtedly practice of great
antiquity. The ancient Egyptians were
no mean dentists. Jawbones of num-
mics have been found with false teeth
in them. and also with teeth filled with
gold. The ancient Greeks also knew
how to make false teeth. There is plen-
tiful evidence of skilled dentistry
among the Romans, for many of the
old Latin authors have references to
false teeth. In the Roman Laws of
the Twelve Tables" there is distinct
references to artificial teeth. The first
part of No. 10 forbids useless expense
at funerals in general, but an excep-
tion is permitted by No. II, which al
lows that the gold filings of false teeth
or the gold with which they were bound
should be buried or burned with the de-
ceased. Within the last year an ancient
grave was discovered near Rome and
opened. In 1t was found the skeleton
of woman with complete set of false
teeth, displaying admirable workman
shin and wrought out OF solid golds<

QUEEN STARTED LEAP YEAR.
Margaret of Scotland Originates the
Extra Day for the BENEFIT
of Her Maids.

This is leap year according to the
fitness of things, but it won't be leaI
year, nevertheless.
There is quite an interesting and lit
tie known history connected with the
introduction of leap year. In 1888, when
Queen Margaret reigned over Scotland
this gracious lady decreed that during
her reign every maiden lady in heI
realm, whether of high or low degree
should propose to the man that she
loved, and that if the man were not be-
trothed already he must either wed the
maid or pay heavy fine.
On the death of Queen Margaret the
women were urgent in their demands
that their new privileges should be
continued. To appease them an act
of parliament was passed which made
it lawful for maidens TO do the propos-
ing every leap year.
Not all the romantic ideas of our an
cestors have been thus perpetuated, End
comparatively few were transferred by
our Pilgrim fathers across the Atlantic.
For instance, in the good old days 1t
was the custom in many towns and even
villages in New England to own house
where poor couples, after they had been
welded in church, could entertain their
friends at small cost, the only outlay,
indeed, being entailed by the purchase
of such provisions as they chose to
bring with them.
In Hertfordshire there was such a
house, which had large kitchen, with
a caldron, large spits and a dripping
pan; also large room for merriment
and Ia furnished boudoir. Dishes, table
linen and bed linen were among it's pos
sessions.
In Essex there was house very much
like this, which was used by the poorer
folks for dining in after they had re-
turned from church.
In some of the old English histories
one may read that in 1456 Roger Thorn
ton granted to the mayor and communi-
ty of Newcastle-upon-Tyne the use of
the hall and kitchen belonging to
Thornton's hospital for the use
of young couples when they were mar
ried to make their wedding dinner IN
and receive the offerings and gifts of
their friends"
AT Hamelin there still exists large
building which is known as the we'd
ding house. 1t was erected during the
second decade of the seventeenth CEN
tury.-Chicago Chronicle.
