CHINESE DENTISTRY.
Profession in Which the CeIestiaIs
Have Not Made Much Progress.

Profession in Which the CeIestiaIs
Have Not Made Much Progress.
If the Chinese can boast that moth
ing is new to them, and that all the
arts and sciences are old stories in the
Celestial Kingdom, it is still true that
for operations in dentistry an American
or European would hardly care to SO
to a Chinaman. In spite of their boasts,
the Chinese have not been slow in
recognizing the superiority of Ameri-
can dentistry, although there are some
who adhere strictly TO ancient meth
DDS, and the New York Evening Post
AYERS that every year one or two CHI
nese dentists of the old school come to
New York, and remain until their Gus
toners have had their teeth put in or
der"
The work is ludicrously primitive
The operator extracts all teeth with his
fingers, and it must be admitted that
his success is astonishing. His dexter
ity is due to years of practice. From
youth to manhood he is trained to pull
pegs from wooden board. This train
ing changes the aspect of til hand, and
gives the student a finger grip amazing
in its strength, equivalent in fact to
lifting power of three or four hundred
pounds.
For toothache he employs OPIUM
peppermint oil, cinnamon oil and Glove
oil. Sometimes he fills teeth, but he
does it so bunglingly that the filings
stay in only a few months.
An element of superstition runs
through all the work. According to the
system, all dental woes are brought ON
by tooth worms. The nerve pulp is
such a worm, and is always shown TO
the patient. For humbugging pur
poses, also. the dentist carries about in
his pocket some white grubs. and after
he has extracted a tooth he shows a
grub to the sufferer as the cause Of all
the trouble.
The position of the dentist of thiE
class is not very lofty among his coun-
trymen, and he is regarded as halfway
in social Importance between barber
and laborer, which is certainly q
great injustice to an honest laborer.

the hard labor for him also need to
quench their thirst more frequently
than they would if quietly standing in
a well-yentilated stable. They should
not be expected to keep busily at work

they will do that much more comfort

Will Make Good Loss Incurred by
John A. Hiusey.
The Supreme Lodge, Knights of Py-
thias, ended its special convention at Chi
cago after adopting a resolutiCl empow-
ering Supreme Chancellor Feathers, the
board of control of the Endowment Rank
and General Counsel Hardy to institute
civil and criminal proceedings against
former officers of the Endowment Rank,
who are charged with mismanaging af-
fairs of the order.
The resolution, it is said, will result in
the prosecution of John A. Hinsey, ex-
president of the Endowment Rank; III.
B. Stolte, ex-secretary; w. d. Kennedy,
publisher of Pythian journal and busi-
ness associate of Hinsey, and a number
of others who will be charged with hav-
ing participated in the scheme by which
the order was depleted of its insurance
funds. General Counsel Hardy, who has
had charge of the legal investigation, an
nounced that the proceedings would be
instituted as soon as the case can be
arranged and the board of control de-
cides who are to be made the defendants
in addition to Hinsey, Stolte and Ken

The shortage of $225, 1000 will be ofer-
come by raise in the insurance rates,
which was decided upon. A new table
of monthly payments was drawn up and
approved by the Supreme Lodge, to go
into effect Sept 1, 1901. The average
increase in the rates for all ages is a
per cent, and the officers of the Supreme
Lodge hope to overcome the deficit before
the next convention of the Grand Lodge,
which will be held at San Francisco in
October. 1902.

during the temporary lull. There were,
however, sundry warnings out of doors
which foretold tempest. l met cold

lower valve in a suction pump; just fits
in a three-quarter-inch coupling, and
admits full stream when open.
The lower end at B is handled as a
feed pipe from storage tank, with a
float valve. Have plug, G, outside, to

a short piece of pipe bent down at
either side of the tee, e, E, to insure

copper soldered to pipe above and be-

a bit of threaded pipe screwed into top

three-inch pipe connected by graduates

RICHEST NATION ON EARTH.
New Com on wealth in the AntipOde'
Can Boast the Distinction.

New Commonwealth in the AntipOdes
Can Boast the Distinction.
1t will surprise many to learn that
the new commonwealth of Australia is
the richest nation on the face of the
globe There is not as much wealth
there in the aggregate as may be found
in some of the older countries, but the
per capita possessions of the Austria
lians far exceed those of other people
in Europe or America. The common
wealth is a continental island, rich in
land fit for settlement and industry.
Its national prosperity is dependent
| upon no single product, but embraces
pastoral agricultural and mining in
dustries in almost equal degree, ana
to these are rapidly being added manu-
features.
Last year the total value of the prod
ucts of the colonies forming the Austria
liam commonwealth amounted to fully
$3.50, 100000, of which their pastoral in
dustries represented $15O,O0O,O00, their
agricultural S140,OO0,O00, their mineral
products fully $100000,000 and their
manufacturing and other industries the
remaining S160,000000. The wool alone
from the 100000 sheep raised in
1900 was worth $1O0OO0,0OO.
The mineral resources of Australia
cannot even be guessed at. In the last
forty-eight years the country has pro-
duced gold to the value of 81, 800, 00O.-
600, in the last twerty silver to the
value of S150,000,000.
Diamonds are found in one district.
rubies in another. There is at least one
emerald mine in New South Wales.
and opals equal to any in the world
are found in Queensland, while the
pearl fisheries of the northwestern
coast produce a considerable portion
of the most valuable pearls of COM

Milk from Farrow Cows.

The milk of cows that have long
passed the season of greatest produc-
ton, which is soon after narrowing, is
much richer in butter fats than that
which the same cows give soon after
dropping their calves, says an ex-
change. If they had not been bred, the
milk also usually contains more of the
albuminoids also. For this reason it is
harder to digest, and, as cows milk is
at best unsuited to the stomach of a
young infant, that from new milk
cows, where procurable, is always to
be preferred The milk of the COW is
too rich in fats, causing the infant to
throw it up soon after taking guam
tity. It may be improved by diluting
it with warm water made quite sweet
with pure sugar. Even farrow cows
milk thus prepared may be used with
safety if the infant is obliged to suck
it through a tube, through which it can
only get small amount at time.

Law and Honest Dealing.


The Superior Court of Pennsylvania
decided that what is known as the col
or clause of the cleo law is sound.
This means that oleo cannot legally be
sold. Yellow is the standard color Of
butter, and it is illegal to counterfeit
other fats by coloring them yellow. In
stead of grieving over this, the oleO
men ought to rejoice, for it gives them
a grand chance to prove that people are
eager to buy oleo Let them put it on
the market for just what it is, uncOlor-
ed and with no attempt to call it butter
Let them offer it for sale at the same
per cen$ above cost Of production that
dairymen receive. That ought to sat

The White Grub.

The white grub, which often in dry
season eats off the roots of the grass
and corn, and will eat almost any root
which is not too hard is the larva of
what is known as the June beetlepin
and farther South as the May beetle.
1t often is so abundant as to make it
necessary to pillow up fields where they
have destroyed all the grass, and even
then it is difficult to destroy the grub.
But we have seen it stated that the
beetle, though it flies mostly by night,
is a leaf-eating insect, and where the
trees are sprayed with arsenites many
of them are killed. AS one of their IA
vorite foods is the leaf of the hickory
tree, that should be sprayed regularly
each year.-American Cultivator.
