It is stated that an indianapolis
dentist has abandoned entirely the use
of forceps in pulling teeth, and has
adopted the primitive method Of the
Chinese, using his forefnger and
thumb only for this purpose. He
maintains that much OF the terror peo-
pie have in having their teeth pulled
il due to the sight OF the instruments
and that the shock from this cause
produced in nervous people is some
times serious. He also claims that by
the manual process there is really less
Jain. and that he can take out the
most firmly rooted double tooth quite
as expeditiously a. With foxcsps. He

Freaks of the Earth.

The residents of East Grinstead, an
English village. are the latest per-
sons who have been alarmed by the
disappearance OF a local stream.
There Is nothing unprecedented In
such an event. 1t was only last year
that Sven Hedin. the Swedish ex-
plorer. reported the disappearance of
a lake which had long been known as
Lob-Nor, and one Of the islands OF the
Tonga group In the South Sea disap

even now a moving mountain which
threatens to wipe out several towns:

WOMEN NOT CORN LAWYERS,

liter.

Not adapted to That Profession Says
ritter.
Women lawyer are d preciated in
legal magazine published in Northport,
Long Island. The writer generously
gives women the permission to study
and practice law, bit he does not be-
lieve that they VIII ever succeed IN the
profession. Among other things he
says: In some states the bar as ca
reer Las been open to women for forty
years or more. The impression which
they have made in such states as law
yers, the influence which they have
had on the profess on, have been abso-
lute,y perceptible. We are told
again and again by advocates of the
policy Of allowing wompL to enter
the profession that with women at the
bar there would be fc7veF hysters, that
they would exercise a beneficial infiu-
ence In upholding the dignity and fair
name Of th4 PROFESSION, etc. Are there
fewer ohysters n proportion to num-
bers. or is the profession more diSn:-
fed and inspired by higher ideals In
Chicago or New York. where women
for a generation OF more have been
permitted to practice, than in 3ali-
more, where they are excluded? No,
the simple truth o. the matter Is that
women as a class are not endowed oy
their Creator with either the physical
or the mental attribut S which fit them
for a legal career There may be
few marked exceptions, but the aver
age intelligent, cultured and educated
woman Is no NOR fit for the practice
OF law than the ordinary male is for
the position OF leading soprano In
church choir. By all means. then. let
down the bars and let the women come
to the bar If they choose and when
hey wish. but step prating lout the
fear Of female competitor. Women
are doing noblv In their human en-
'eavor, but as lawyers they never wefe
md never will be a success"

MIGHT HANG PEOPLE.

A Topeka lawyer has dug mp an
old law which makes IL possible to
have legal hanging in any court
in the state. The paragraph can be
found in the general statutes OF
1858 and under the criminal proceed
ure section. 1t gives the supreme
court or district court the right to
Issue a habeas corpus for convict
in the penitentiary under sentence
of death who has been there more
than a year. The convict would be
brought before the court and an in
quiry made az to the legal reasons
why he had not been hung. The
reason would be that the governor
had not signed the death warrant.
If the court thought that II was not
sufficient season the sheriff could
be ordered to forthwith hang the
Driaouer.
