MODERN DEN rISTRY
Artistic and Intricate Gold Fnlings
 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 disregarding his patients moans. You see, there are no beau tiful and artistic gold filings put in nowadays. As soon as tooth gives an opportunity for showing skill in fill Ing, presto! it is cut off and crowned pr bridged with gold. A gold tooth is considered not unbeautiful, it seems hut nowadays porcelain filings are preferred to metal cnes for conspicu- 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 to match the different tints of teeth, these filings are quite ineonspicuous. There are few people still who don't mind showing a gold mine when they open their mouths, and among these are colored people, who seem to think they gain a certain amount of distinc- ton from such a display. Among the most curious requests that I have had In regard to work was one from an &C., tress to extend a cavity she had in a front tooth so that 1t would form 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. l finally dissuaded her from this original project by pointing out that it might be embarrassing in later years, If she should chance to marry 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 I said be- fore, there's no really beautiful work done at present in the way of intricate filings. and that's a fact.

MYSTERIOUS AFRICAN MINES.
Long Abandoned Shafts That Have In-
 terested Many Anriqnarians.

Besides the reefs which have been discovered on the coast there exists in Rhodesia an enormous quantity Of "old workings" mines which were worked in ancient times, but have long since been abandoned. By whom these mines were worked will probably remain forever mystery. From old pottery and tools which have been found 1t is evident that these old workings were exca. yated by or under the direction of men of knowledge and intelligence su- perior to those possessed by the present inhabitants of the country. Gold was extracted from these mines by smelt- ing, many furnaces having been found, and alongside of them ancient molds in which ingots were cast. Several ruins have also been discovered in Rhodesia the magnitude and workmanship of which prove that men of superior civilization either inhabitated or else occupied this part of the world a few thousand years before us. To them are probably due the ancient workings which have been found With the primitive instruments at their com mand these miners of a past age were only able to scrape the surface of the gold-bearing reefs, so that the quan- tity of gold which has been taken from the mines hardly affects their value, while they are a precious indication to the prospector and enable him to test the reef below the surface, and, as a rule, the site of most of these old work. ings seems to have been selected by competent mep, Who chose the richest feefR

 "Only in name does republication exist in the. countries of South Am erica, says southern business man who recently returned from tour ot the Latin-American countries. The Latin republics are the worst apologies for republics in the entire calendar oi free states. Affairs in these republics are becoming better of late, but it R the simplest thing in the world to pro yoke revolution. We are all fRmiliA with the changes of government that have taken place within the last de cade, but few understand how easy It has been, and still is in some of these republics, to preeipitate rebellion turn ruler out of office, upset gov ernment, and create general anarchy. was in one of these republics some years ago, when revolution, or rather an attempt at revolution, occurred, for 1t was not genuine success. was with friend, about to go to breakfast when a party of about twenty men ap- peared in the street along which wa were passing. About the same number of men came into sight from an op- posite direction and the fun began. Every man had a cloak over his shoul- ders, though the weather was oppres- siveiy warm, and when they sighted each other the cloaks were thrown aside ant more brass medals, rainbow. tinted ribbons, red sashes and other gorgeous insignia of something or oth- CT never saw. They began firing at each other, and soon the street was filled with multitude Of troops and about an equal number of revolution ists. The government troops dispersed the rebels on this occasion, and when we left in the afternoon for our respec. tive locations, the same national fiagA that were flying at sunrise were stir hanging at their staffs. It was on this occasion a bIoodless and futile reYolu, ton, and people went about their bust. ness on the next day with the same composure and contempt for one party or the other as they had on the day before tue opera bouffe rebellion"

Noted Paintings by Lamented American
 Artist.
 The death of Frederick Edwin Church, the veteran landscape painter, removed a We1f=knoWn figure in art life of this country better remembered perhaps by past generation than by the younger set. He was born in Hart ford, Conn.,, May i, 1926. His talent for art was prominent and in early life he determined to adopt art as a profession and placed himself under the instruction of Thomas Cole. and resided with him in the Catskills. He soon became wei known as land- scope painter, and critics awarded him praise for his accuracy of drawing and vivid appreciation of nature. He spent short time in Switzerland, and in 1858 visited South America to study the picturesque scenery. "The Heart of the Andes, which create! a great sensation, was first exhibited in 1858 and was bought by the late William T. Blodgett. Other we11-known works painted about the same period ars "The Andes of Ecuador" "Cotapaxi," 7" now at the Lenox library, "Ghinbor- ago. His View of Niagara Falls." how in the Corcoran art gallery, Washington, D. C., is recognized as the first satisfactory production by art of this wonderful piece of nature; 1t won a prize at the French exhibition in 1867. Another painting of ''Magra" was painted for A. T. Stewart in 1866, the price paid for it by Mir. Stewart being $t2,000. In 1878 he was again represented at the French capital with two pictures, Morning in the Tropics" and "The Parthenon." He travelled extensively in this country and abroad, studying nature and giving to the world numerous productions of a high character A number of his works are owned in England. one of his principal works being. .Tcehergs," witch was purchased by Sir Edward Watson, M F., London.

Concerning the poorer students oY Russia the Saturday Review says: Their mendaeity Is passive rather than active. Unlike the mendicant friars, they never ask, but they know much will be given them. They know, too strange fact in strange country-that the university is open to all, irrespec- tive of means or position. Thus the university becomes the poor Russians golden opportunity, fer here, as else where, there are many posts, for which graduates alone are eligible. A stroll through the streets of Moscow during term time furnishes abundant evidence of the popularity of the university.
