Artistic and Intricate Gold Filings
 Thing Of the Past.
 "The modern dentist need not be nearly as skilled a workman as his father was," said one of the craft yes- terday, as he merrily knitted up foot or two of nerve with his little crochet hook. entirely dtsregarding his patients moans, You see, there are no beau tiful and artistic gold filings put in nowadays. As soon as a tooth gives an opportunity for showing skill in f1ll- Ing, presto! it is cut off and crowned or bridged with gold. A gold tooth is considered not unbeautiful, it seems hut nowadays porcelain filings are preferred to metal enes for consptcu- ous places. The porcelain comes in a powder, an impression of the cavity is taken, the filling made, baked hard, in- serted, and secured by the cement with which the cavity has first been padded. AS all shades of porcelain are to be had 10 match the different tints of teeth, these filings are quite inconspicuous,
  There are a few people still who don't mind showing gold mine when they open their mouths, and among these are colored people, who seem to think they gain a certain amount of distine- ton from such display. Among the most curious requests that 1 have had in regard to work was one from an ac- tress to extend a cavity she had in a front tooth so that 1t would form 6 J, and fill it with gold. She explained that she was going to marry man named John, and that she thought 1t would be perfectly lovely to have his initial in evidence whenever she talk ed. I finally dissuaded her from this original project by pointing out that 1t might be embarrassing in later years, if she should chance to marry a man named Thomas or Richard. She evi dently saw the good sense of my re- marks, but she relinquished her re- markable idea reluctantly. Women generally very sensibly want to make the fact that they have had to resort to art to preserve their teeth as imper- ceptible as possible, so, as l said be- fore, there's no really beautiful work done at present in the way of intricate filings, and that's a fact. ."-Psltimore News.

It Was Found on che Plains and Used
 on Many Ceremonial Occasions.
 The Bible which was used in the ceremonies beginning the celebration h this city of the fftieth anniversary of the state of California has history that is very interesting. In 1849 young man in coming across the plains found a pile of books by the side of the road with a stick stuck among them bearing a note telling travellers to help themselves. The young maA In searching through the old volumes found a handsome Bible, which he con ridered a shame to be left upon the areary desert. He placed it in his pack and carried it to Sacramento. He presented it to Dr. E. H. Mcdonald. who at that time conducted a drug store in that city. Some time after the advent of the Bible into Sacramento meeting was called in that city for the purpose of founding lodge O. Masons. That was on Jan. 8, l850, and the lodge was to be known as COnnectlcuC 1OuSes INos to' Ae

When it was convened 1t was found that there was no Bible at hand with which to conduct the ceremonies and Dr. Mcdonald presented the booS that had been given to him by the young man for the lodges use, on the 18th of the following April the grand lodge of Masone was formed ana the Bible again played an important mart in the ceremonies.

 Defective eyesight is certainly be- coming more and more common. and the way the use of glasses has inereas- ed would be extremely startling If we had not grown accustomed to them by degrees" said one of a group of New ofleans business men. When I was a ooy It was very unusual to see young person wearing specs; now ws en- counter them at every tura. Our grandfathers used to be proud of their splendid vision, and in many cases it was retained into advanced old age, put at present pair of perfectly sound eyes are the exception instead of the rule am willing to bet that you can go up and down Canal street, from one end Of the retail district to the other, without finding half dozen business men of over 45 who can get along with out artificial aid to the sight. paid a Vls1t to young ladies' seminary not long ago, and out of one class of 32 I counted Is wearing glasses. That is a trlghtful percentage. If it doesn't indi- cate that the human eye is playing out under the strain of modern conditions would like to know what it does mean?" T think can reassure you" said physician who had joined the party while the other was speaking. The human eye is not playing out, but IS merely receiving better care. The statistics on the subject do not extend back more than 30 or 40 years and are very imperfect, but they indicate thai there is less defective vision now than there used to be, especially among school children. I know that is con- trary to the general impression, but it IS fact, and is attributed to better lighted school rooms and better printed books. We have al; read how some of our great statesmen studied their less sons by the light of the fireplace, and if they ever did such a thing, which I doubt, you may rest assured they paid for it with spectacles in after life. The reason why so many glasses are seen nowadays is that the slightest visual defect is at once corrected, while in former times it was either ignored or nnnotieed, and, though there are prob, ably more spectaeles among very old people you will likewise find fewer very old people totally blind"

JAPANESE RELIEF SOCIETY.
What Has Been Done by Its Lady
Members to Relieve Suffering.

At the time of the first outbreak of
lague, when it was known that the
authorities had decided to burn the
infected districts in Chinatown and to
send the refugees into quarantine. a
number of Japanese ladies got togeth-
er and organized Temporary Relief
Society.
This society is most grateful to the
many kind friends for the hearty as
sistance it has received. BY their lib
eral donations it was able to provide
clothing and other necessary articles
to hundreds of destitute Japanese who
were unfortunate in losing everything
during the great fire Of January goth.
1t may be of interest 10 the gener-
GUS donors to know that the donations
received amounted to 1896.
Besides lilo garments for men,
women and children, 5Ss pairs of I'M
derwear, needles, thread, scissors,
combs, soap, etc, were distributed.
Now that the people in the detention
camps have been released, this society
will disband, transferring the balance
Of its fund into the hands OF the Jap
anese Benevolent Society, an organi-
cation which IS doing general relief

fore the Supreme Court.


The Supreme Court yesterday handed
down decision in the Chinese polyg-
amy case which excited all China
town during its trial before Judge Will
COX in August last. A woman named
Lee Shee came to Honolulu months ago
from China, representing herself to be
the wife of a Chinese resident by the
name of Chang Sam. On her arrival
here she refused to consort with Chang
Sam and married another Chinese.
She was arrested on charge of
bigamy. Ex-Attorney General w. o.
Smith, Judge j. NJ. Davidson and EX-
Deputy Attorney General A, l.. c. At
kinson appeared for the prosecution,
and Il. McCants Stewart appeared for
the defendant. On the trial before
Judge Wilcox the secretary of the
Chinese legation and several prominent
Chinese merchants gave testimony as
TO the marriage customs of China and
swore that marriage could take place
by proxy by using rooster instead OF
the absent bridegroom. 1t was also
shown that Chang Sam, the prosecuting
witness, had sent money to China to
the relatives of the defendant for the
purchase of defendant, and that she had
left her relatives and lived with Chang
Sans relatives for a long period be-
fore coming to Honolulu Chang Sam
paid her passage and she represented
herself to the Custom house authori-
Ties as Chang Sans wife.
On her arrival she went to the resi-
dence OF Lo Kui, who was Chang Sam s
agent IN the transaction but refused to
meet and live with Chang Sam and
shortly was married to another Chinese

FOREST FIRES CONSUME FARM SOIL
Fine Farms in North Carolina Destroyed by
the Flames.

Reports from the eastern part OF the
state show that the forest fires have
become so serious that some fine farm
lands in Hyde county have been de-
stroyed by the porus soil being con-
sumed, says a dispatch from Charlotte,
n. c. Even the top layer of the ground
is said to burn like timber, leaving the
land worthless.
The fires have been raging in the
swamps, which are now very dry, for
weeks, and the burning area now eX-
tends for miles. One farm in Hyde
county valued at $4,000 is SO burned
away that its owner says it is not now
worth 500.
The fire is burning under the sur
face in many places and one death is
reported to the state board of agricul-
ture, that of farmer who was riding
along the public road when the ground
gave way, precipitating horse and rid
er to a fiery death below.
The smoke from the miles of burn
ing forest extends a long distance to
the sea, and by obscuring the light at
Oregon inlet near Roanoke island, has
caused two wrecks within two weeks
