Preparation of HOLSTERS.

Since May | the vessels of the
United States fish commission have
gathered on the coast of Maine 1920
seed Holsters, which have yielded As
100000 eggs. OF these eggs, 30,000,-
600 have been Matched out at Glou-
cestcr, Mass. and many thousands
of the FRY" returned to Maine waters.
When liberated the young Holsters are
about two inches long, and are much
better able to care for themselves
than are those developed naturally in
their native waters. 1t is thought
that, by stringent laws regarding the
fisheries, the lobster may be not only
saved from extinction in Maine
waters, but the supply made more
plentiful than at present.

TEETH OF GEORGE WASHINGTON
interesting Particulars Which Have
Recently Come to Light.

Recently Come 10 li9nt.
George Washington's teeth were
made from hippopotamus and ele-
plants ivory.
We know this from the records left
by his own particular dentist, John
Greenwood, who, during the latter
years of our national hero, made sew
eral false sets for the general. These
pleased him so much that on Jan. 8,
1893. he wrote from Mt. Vernon to-
DR.. Greenwood, saying: If you should
remove to Connecticut, | should be
glad to be advised of it and to what
place, as | shall always prefer your
services to that of any other in the
line of your present profession
There is in existence letter from
George Washington, which shows in
what esteem he held his dentist. We
give a copy of it in full:
philadelphia, February 16, 1871.
Sir: Your letter of the 9Th and
the box which accompanied it came
safe to hand. The contents Of the lat
ter We're perfectly agreeable to me,
and will, | am persuaded, answer the
end proposed very we'll
Enclosed | send you $40 in pay
ment for them and the repairs of the
old ones-and am, sir,
"Yr. Very Hble. Servt.,
&c. WASHINGTON"
This is one of four letters that Dr.
Greenwood left to his children in his
will The other three letters from
Washington are in the possession OF
descendants of his family. In let
ter written in 1860 by Isaac John
Greenwood to Dr. Taft the writer
says
There is a pair of false jaws with
human teeth on now in the head Of
President Washington, in the tomb at
Mt. Vernon made by my father, John
Greenwood, in 1899, and they are
made with the bone gums-I think
of the elephants tooth ivory and
made from molds Of beeswax."
