Of the tomb is established beyond any
doubt Seven hundred years before the
founding of Rome this princess was laid
to rest with this specimen of perfect dem
tistry in her mouth.
The Romans are known to have been
skilled in this profession. Dentistry in
those days, however, did not mean what it
now does. The fastening of loose teeth,
the extraction of teeth and the insertion
of the teeth of human beings and animals
constituted the work of the dentist. There
was no filling and bridging of teeth or
any of the oral treatment practiced in
these days.
Modern dentistry. that which has for It's
object the salvation of the teeth has been
principally developed in the last hundred
and fifty years.
One of the first OF our American dent
lists fitted George Washington with set
OF artificial teeth. In ancient times there
were no porcelain teeth. The teeth of hui
man beings and of animals were used to
replace missing teeth in the human jaw.
These teeth soon became offensive and
had to be replaced at frequent intervals.
An examination Of very ancient skulls
shows that teeth have been subject to
decay in all ages. In olden times the
methods of extraction were barbarous.
Dental instruments found in Pompeii dis
close the fact that in those days they
pried teeth out

That visit to the dentist proved TO be

his work has survived, and the Etruscan

COACH well up to the front, and in the

had attracted a good deal OF attention from
the fact that he wore his hair long and had
a pair of enormous revoivers stuck in his
belt. The rest OF the car was well filled
with a mixed crowd, including perhaps
dozen women. At about o'clock at night,
while we were going over very desolate
part, of the road. the train slowed down
suddenly, and before we could enquire
what was wrong the front door flew open
and masked man stepped inside with
sawed-off shotgun at his shoulder. Sit

the pistols out of the belt and hit him
over the head with the butt. Then he took
the other. made him hand over his watch

The messenger wiped the blood off his
face and said nothing. After it was all
over and the robbers had disappeared the
messenger was target for numerous
sneering remarks. If had made break,

EXILES IN ST. HELENA.
Napoleon Had ms Successors Three
Col0rcd Princes.
prom the London Daily Mail.

prom the London Daily Mail)
According to the cartoOnists, the shade OF
Napoleon is greatly perturbed by the ap-
preaching visit of Cronje to st. Helena.
For elk wearisome years Napoleon en-
dured the splendid loneliness of exile, and
died literally of rust" on the island of
ST. Helena. Seventy-two years later it was
found advisable TO deport from Zululand
three Princes, or more strictly speaking,
Kinglets, whose presence in their native
land for the time being was a source of
some danger.
These were the son tDinizulu), the
brother fNdabukol. and the half brother
(Tshingana) of King Cetewayo. The three
were landed on the Island in 1855.
Ce.ewayo mad persuaded Paul Mtimkulu,
a Chatechis,. to leave Cape Town and set
tie In Zululand Ia order to teach the peo-
pie. DIR Paul. as he was generally
called, went to st. Helena with the Princes
and married a st. Helena maid.
Miss Colenso, the daughter of the famous
Bishop, pleaded the cause OF the exiles with
SO much zeal that they were eventually re-
leased, after they had spent about seven
years on the isle which Great Britain ex-
clusively maintains for the secure lodg-
ment Of vanQuished foes.
