Old age is robbed Of half its terrors
and much Of its deformity by the
brilliant discovery Of a Moscow dem
tist, Dr. Zuamensky who according
to possibly over uine Russian
contemporary, has L GIFTED the civ
ilized world by his skill ia making
teeth to grow in to0thless gums
After Experimenting on dogs he tried
the effects Of his method in human
beings, and the success was complete.
The teeth are made Of gutta-percha,
porcelain, or metal, as may bedesired.
The roof Of the false tooth has some
holes bored in it. Holes ase now
bored into the jaw, and into giie hole
the false tooth is stuck as is q vail in
wood. In q short time a tender
growth starts up the cavity of the
false tooth, and this growth harden
ing the tooth becomes fixed in POSI-
tion. These new teeth can. accord
ing 70 the inventor, be placed in the
alveOlus Of a natural tooth, and thes
when a diseased tooth is pulled out q
metal or porcelain substitute can be
inserted in its place without mourning
any risk Of transferring disease, as
happened in Hunters days when the
apparently sound teeth Of poor per
sons when transplanted not infre-
quently conveyed disease. There are
several minor Inconsistencies in this
statement, but it would be ungraci-

he rubbed his hands together In

"I-I suspect it's pneumonia, re-

But Mr.. BoWser's backache grew
worse, and when the chill finally
went of he was out Of his head most
of the time with the fever. During
Mrs. Bowser's sickest night he had
gone TO bed to sleep and snore and

had TO sit up with him, Of course. He
wanted yichy water, lemonade, ice

and a dozen other things and he
seemed to take solid comfort in keep

finally stopped the clock
The Doctor returned in the morn

his throat almost raw, but he ex-
pressed great surprise that he had
not gone to the 0fiice. He encouraged
him to get up and go down cellar and
upstairs, but Mr.. Bowser stuck right

seemed to fiatten all out and lose his
conceit. Once he even went so far as
to observe that II his life was spared
he would be an humble man in fu-

his meekness seemed to be disappear

The General Assembly meets next
week and under the constitution it
cannot hold longer than forty days.
In our opinion there is no necessity
to remain in session longer than
twenty-five days; the business can be,
if the members will work, finished in
that time. It costs $1,000 day to
run the General Assembly and If the
people can persuade the members to
cut short their stay in Columbia,
every day cut short will be that many
thousand dollars saved to the tax
pavers.

In some of the Southern States
there is being considered to exclude
negroes from the public schools, un-
less they pay their proportion OF the
cost. This is reasonable and right,
for we cannot see why the negroes
should get equal school advantages
with the whites when the whites pay
most OF the cost. Many contend that
in educating the negro lies the ooly
hope of rescue from some OF the Ills
beneath which the South groans, but
that race has been free now for over
quarter of century and new
generation has sprung up that has
had equal advantages with the
whites; it is about time now for them
to feel the responsibility and they
should be made to pay their proper
ton of the cost to run the public
schools.
