The manufacture and use of false
teeth are undoubtedly of great an
tiquity. The ancient Egyptians were
no mean dentists. Jawhones of mum
mics have been found with false teeth
I'm them, and also with teeth filed with
gold The ancient Greeks also knew
how to fill teeth with gold; also how TO
make false teeth.
There Is plentiful evidence OF skilled
dentistry among the Romans, for many
of the Latin authors have references
to false teeth In the Roman Laws or
the Twelve Tables" there are distinct
references to artificial teeth. The first
part of No. 10 forbids useless expense
at funerals In general, but an exception
is permitted by No II, which allows
that the gold filings of false teeth or
the gold with which they were bound
should be buried or burned with the
deceased

NAPOLEON AT ST. HELENA.
His Views on the Precautions Taken
to Prevent His Escape.

one of the extracts from Or. O'Mea-
ra's st. Helena diary in The Century
records Napolcon's views on the pre-
cautions taken to prevent his escape.
He spoke anew about escaping and
said that if he was inclined to try it,
which he was not, there were 80
chances in 100 against his eifecting it.
But" said he, this jailcr every week
imposes new and veXatious restrictions
upon me- just as if | was in place
where | had nothing to do but to step
into boat and be away. When | was
at Elba, it was different, 1t is true
that while one lives there is chance
of escape. Although ironed and chain
ed down, inclOscd in cell of stone and
every human precaution taken against
a possibility of it. still there is chance
OF escape, and the only way to prevent
IL Is to put me to death.
This Is the only sure way. Let him
put me to death, and all uneasiness on
the part of the European powers, Lord
Castlereagh himself and his govern
ment will cease. No more expense
then; no more squadrons to 'atch me
or poor soldiers, fatigued to death with
pckets and guards or harasscd with
carrying burdens up those precipices
l am sure those poor devils have rea-
son to hate me and wish my death.
They must, however, be conscious that
the fatlguing duties imposed upon
them are unnecessary ana veXatious,
as the sight Of the island must con
vince every one but a suspicious cog
lone that escape from it was nearly
impossible unless, as | have said be-
fore that while there is life there is n
chance, If attempted.
where could go to. allowing that
got out of the island? Every place
could arrive ut | would find enemies TO
seize me. This governors conduct will
soon be known in England and will not
procure him any credit there Those
officers all will write an account of the
unnecessary rigor with which | am
treated and their opinion of it, The
newspapers will be full of it,"

Now do you know | don't believe one

Iu the days when things were vida

broken down sport formed the habit
of dropping in and securing n share Of
the plumber by simply betting the re.

stance. would bet $50 one way on the
ace, and the old sport, knowing posi-.
lively that the dupe would lose, would
bet s. the other way on the same card
In order to secure the 500 the dealer
had to let the unwelcome visitor win
his little five, and that sort of thing
happened almost every time a fresh
fool was ploted into the establishment.
OF course the sharpers who ran the
game regarded this proceeding on the
old sports part as a most outrageous
invasion Of their private rights, equiv.
alent to blackmail. II call it Just the
same as stealing for him to come in

Accordingly they laid their heads TO-

who had all the appearances of a very
verdant planter, was steered into the
place. and right behind him. as usual,
came the old sport, seeming rich pick

to be more than half tipsy, pulled out a
huge roll of bills and offered to bet

osition was promptly accepted, and the
other fellow, thinking he had the
chance of his life, Immediately put up

CATCHING SMELLS.
How the Little Fish Are Hooked
Through the lee.

How the Little Fish Are Hooked
Through the lee.
The smelts are all caught with hook
and line, says the Bangor Commercial.
Taking them otherwise, such as by
seine. would be regarded by the fisher
men here as n great wrong. The fish
ing is all done in tents, the tents being
about six feet long, five feet wide and
high enough for u man to stand up in
them.
These tents are covered with cloth,
heated by stove and lighted usually
by a lantern. | have known the tenn
peraturc OF my tent to vary, however,
60 degrees within ten minutes during
cold day.
4 hole about six feet long and eight
inches wide is cut in the ice and the
tent set lcngthwise of this, Six lines
attached to Il pole fastened to the
plates of the tent hang into the water
nearly eight inches apart These lines
during fishing hours are always kept in
motion.
The way the fishermen handle these
lines, how they can bait the hooks and
Stat smelts, when, as they say, they
are taking holt" IS certainly wonder
full. | have known one man to catch
100 pounds in less than one hour. This
means at least 1000 fish, or about II a
minute one smelter has been known
to catch 800 pounds during one tides
fishing.
Some have made $50 to $50 day and
others 5000 in n few weeks, But these
big catches are only made by those ex-
pert in fishing. The chances are that
a green hand would starye the first
winter if dependent wholly on what
fish he caught.
