False Teeth of ANTIQUITY.

The manufacture and use of false
teeth is undoubtedly practice of great
antiquity The ancient Egyptians
were no mean dentists. Jawbones of
mummies have been found with false
teeth n them. and also with teeth fill
ed with gold. The ancient Greeks also
knew how to fill teeth with gold, also
low to make false teeth.
There is plentiful evidence of skilled
oentisrry among TIE Romans. for msny
of the cid Latin authors have refer
ence to false teeth. In the Roman
Laws of the Twelve Tables there is
q distinct reference to artificial teeth
The first part OF No. 10 forbids useless
expense at funerals in general. but an
exception is permitted by No. IL. which
allows that the gold filings of false
teeth or the gold vita which they were
hound should be buried or burned with
the deceased.
Within the last year an ancient
grave was discovered the skeleton of a
woman with a complete set of false
teeth. displaying admirable work
mansnip and wrought out OF solid gold.

THE Porto Rico tariff bill has become
. law. The same passed the House of
Representatives last Friday, and after
being signed by the speaker was sent
to the Senate for the signature of the
president pro tempore, Mr.. Frye, and
then to the President. All of the Wis
consin representatives favored the bill,
which shows that they are simply there
20 dance attendance to the crack of the
whip welded by their party leaders.
The bin is considered an outrage even
by many leading republicans. Even
Mckinley, before the trusts snapped
their fingers at him, said, Our plain
duty is to abolish all custom, tariffs be-
tween the United States aud Porto Rico,
and give her products free access to our
markets.

T. E. RYAN has expressed a willing
ness to accept the position of National
Committeeman if chosen. He states
that he is not a candidate for the posi-
ton in the sense of seeking the honor.
He further says that he is opposed to E.
G. Wall as National Committeeman be-
cause he has, by his own acts and Volt
ton, divorced himself from the dem
ocratic party.

shows that Merrill is at the bot
tom and that Wausau is next to the
bottom in the average salary paid its
male teachers, paying less than one
half as much as does Lacrosse. The
only cities that pay less to their female
teachers are Merrill GAINESVILLE and
Beliot.
When the fact is taken into consider
alton thatit costs more to live in Wausau
and in Merrill than it does in GAINESVILLE
and Beloit, since the former are farther
north, it is evident that Merrill and
Wausau have been spending less on
their schools than have other cities of
our state, having 1900 or more pupils
enrolled
1t is not q matter of pride that we
pay our teachers less than the average
paid in the cities of our state, of the
north central states and the u. S., but
it IS pleasing to learn that we have such
good schools and excellent teachers,
and that we have them without having
gone into extravaganza, either in salar-
les paid the teachers, or in general OPP
Grating expenses.
Wausau has been to q large expense
for new high school building, but it is
now built and every one is satisfied
that the city got its moneys worth. 9th
Ell cities are building, too, but nowhere
is there a building as magnificent as
ours that did not cost much more If
there are any who feel that our schools
have not been economically admins
tered the above facts should reassure
them 1t would be matter of greater
pride however if we could say that
Wausau does as well by its teachers as
does any other city of equal promise
and stability.

Commissioners Favor Limiting Pur-

ment and from private citizens complaints
relative to the stealing OF plumbing mate

this sort Of depreciation is carried on quite
extensively the thieves selling lead pipe.

dealers for small percentage Of their real
value.
The attention Of the Commissioners was
recently drawn to the matter by Uvt,-
municatiOn from G.. W. +. SwartZell in
which he complained that an empty house
belonging 10 him had been entered, and
the bath tub lining and lead pipe removed.
In reporting the robbery 10 the police
Mr.. SwartZell was informed that a recon-
mendation had been made TO the Commits
sioners that a law be enacted by Congress
prohibiting junk dealers from buying such
material except from licensed plumbers.
Mr. SwartzelHs chief purpose in writing
was to urge the passage OF such law.
The Commissioners have replied TO the
complainant informing him that they are
In favor Of such law and viii be glad 10
