THE CHINESE DENTIST.
The Practitioner After the Fashion of
 Ills Ancestors.

American industry is playing havoc with all time-honored institutions, says the New York Evening Post. At one time the dentists formed an important guild in Chana, but in the past thirty years hundreds of bright young Mon- golians have picked up more or less knowledge of the profession from American practitioners abroad, and are now doing business according to modern scientific methods. In San Francisco the new school has almost driven the old one to the wall. Never theless, three or four of the latter pur sue the calling in the same manner as their ancestors did for thousand years. At least one of them visits New York every year and stays two or three months until all of his GUS l toners have had their teeth put "in order"
 His work is curiously primitive For extracting he relies upon his fingers, and with these he does marvels. With thumb and forefinger he will pull bicuspid or molar on which an Amer ican operator employees forceps. This dexterity is the result of years of prac- tice. From boyhood to manhood he is trained to pull pegs driven in a wooden board. Three and four times a day, half-hour at time, he drives pegs into the holes of his practice board, and then pulls them out again. He lifts in similar fashion teeth to which are attached heavy weights. This special training changes the aspect of the hand. The spare flesh vanishes and the blood vessels and tendons seem to double in size. The forearm grows in girth and becomes as hard as wood. The apprenticeship period lasts two years. At the end the student has finger grip which is a wonder. It's strength is equivalent to lifting power of three and even four hundred pounds. Besides extracting, he cleans teeth with a preparation containing cuttlefish, using brushes made of split bamboo. For toothache he employs opium, peppermint oil, cin- namon oil and clove oil. Sometimes, though rarely he fills teeth, but does it so ignorantly that the filling comes out within few months.
 Through all his practice runs a Imaginable element of superstition. Ac- cording to his system all toothache and other dental woes are produced | by tooth worms. The nerve pulp is | such a worm, and is always shown to patient whenever the decay is great enough to permit of its exhibition. | To satisfy others he carries about in pocket some white grubs about as large as an ant. When he extracts a | painful tooth he uses little legerde- main, and shows the sufferes one of the white grubs as the cause of all his pain For neuralgia toothache he | tiyes, rubbing the gums, cheeks and neck just below the condyle with a | mixture of laudanum and peppermint oil, and pinching the skin until the l blood is almost forced through the pores. He is not highly regarded by his countrymen, his social position be- ing half way between that of bar Der and a iaborer. In New York he gets 25 cents for removing tooth, and for other services payments in proportion.

dizen of very scarce claret, buried under a lot of other stuff in one corner. It had evidently lain there undisturbed since the place was opened, and meanwhile the vintage had grown to be worth anything you chose. The connoisseur managed to dissemble his joy. covered up the claret again and presently asked for price on some curious 1agons of cordial that form ed the top layer. The proprietor was good natured, easy-going Latin. who loved to bargain, and the two naggled for an hour over a difference of S1.50 Bi- nally the New Yorker pretended to notice the claret and dragged it to light. "Hellon he exclaimed. here are few bottles of red wine, probably spoiled.
 I'll tell you what I'll do. he added, throw this stuff in and I'll take the cor dials.' The saloonkeeper snapped up the offer, and the willy connosseur carried off his prize in a basket. When he got his hotel he gave the cordials to the porter. I suppose some of the claret is now in his cellar at home
 But the schemes of these sly old boys don't always turn out so successfully. Occasionally they overreach themselves, and I heard of funny case of that kind only few days ago. The hero of the episode was a Philadelphia man. and, like the New Yorker, he had accidentally dls- covered a plant of very fine claret in little old shop in the suburbs of the city. The proprietor, however. had vague idea that the stuff might be valu- able and named such a steep figure that the collector went away to think up some scheme for bringing him to terms.
 The upshot of 1t was that he sent around a friend, who sauntered in, priced number of things ana finally spied the claret. He picked up a bottle, remarked casually that that particular vintage had all spoiled in the glass and declared the stuff wasn't worth shelf room. The caller was a big, pompous individual and the shopkeeper was duly impressed Next day the Philadelphia collector appeared and asked if he was willing to talk req sonable about that red wine.
 :" I'm sorry. monsieur, said the pro- prietor, but had no idea you would re- return, and I sold 1t last night to a ship captain What did he give you for It.? groaned the connoisseur. Ten cents bot tle,' said the other. I found out after you left that it was spoiled" he added confidentially."

AN ANeLlFlED GERMAN CITY.
Augustine BrrelI Declares kobIenz To Be Most English of All Germany.

| Augustine Birrel in the Century. | Of all the fair cities washed by the Rhine, Koblenz is the most Anglified. Nowhere else in all Rhineland is the language of cokneydom spoken so gen. orally, nowhere else in Rhineland are there to be seen so many young Angles of both sexes so pathetically in pursuit of secondary education, and nowhere else in Rhineland are the services of the Elizabethan settlement, to-wit, the English Episcopal Church, better attended on Sundays than at IAoblenz.
 The great physical fact about Kob- lenz is that here the Moselle river flows into the Rhine. No handsomer compliment Is paid to the Rhine throughout her whole course. The Moselle is indeed fair and noble stream, which might well have insisted on falling into the sea on it's own ac- count. Immediately opposite the rush of the Moselle into the Rhine towers the fortress of Ehrenbreitstein, nearly 400 feet above the river. No place is better known by pictures, plates and photographs than Ehrenbreitstein, nor so long as rock stands upon rock can it lose it's charm. To look down upon | vey the valleys through which those famous rivers make their way till the moment of their union, is a proud thing to do.
 One has to admit that, of late years, great change has come over the Rhine, particularly hereabouts, and that change is prosperity. What are called sings of wealth" abound. We know those signs of wealth in Eng land Tall chimneys and fine villas represent both fortune-making and for tunes made. There are too many tall chimneys and fine villas within sight of the Rhine. was so grieved to note the change at St. Goar and even at my beloved Bacharach that I forbore to speak about it. But now that am at Koblenz I can bear 1t better. It is foolish to quarrel with prosperity. A stalwart laborer with his belly full of meat and his breath of garlic, who is the owner of red-brick slated cottage, ought to be pleasanter object even | to a view-hunter than picturesque haunt of typhoid and rheumatism. But the new villas on the Rhine have made the old castles more ridiculous than ever
 Koblenz, I was saying, is prosper ous place, and does large business in the wine trade, as well as in the edu- cation of youth. It boasts splendid quay and it's bridges are famous throughout the world have already referred to its dominating statue of the Emperor Wiiliam-an image of copper seen from afar. koblenz has been Prussian since 1915.

You may stroll about for fortnight, walking in this direc- ton and that, and return home to your inn with an easy conviction that your dinner and your wine will repay the attention it is your constant habit to bestow upon them both. Yet, when you come to leave Koblenz, the parting will not be difficult.

n ARTS, Aug. 24-The suicide of Miss
Myrtle Mulligan, one of the most
popular young ladies of the Amer
lean set in Paris, has brought to light
pathetic story of a life blighted by too
much beauty. Miss Mulligan was one
of the most beautiful girls in Paris
She was the only daughter of an Amer
lean millionaire porK-p packer and came
to Paris with the intention of marrying
a nobleman, this being the one great
ambition of her life. Unfortunately,
however, she was so beautiful that
even the strongest legal evidence could
induce no one to believe that she was an
heiress. All her efforts to secure the
hand of a noble failed. For a long time
she struggled bravely against her mis-
fortune. She even went so far as to
take course of treatment with the
greatest beauty doctors of Paris. But
in vain; her good looks survived in
spite Of all, and being unable to endure
longer the shame of an untitled exist
eHce, she took an overdose of Russian
caviar and turned on the gas.
