Treating diseased teeth of school

tirely out of the question at present;
yet why should 1t be less reasonable TO

There would be work to do every day.
If bad teeth could be prevented the

wonderful how many diseases can be
traced indirectly to bad teeth.
1T is the noble privilege of the
teachers of the country to promote in
some degree the preservation of the
teeth of those under their care, and
this they can do by intoxicating early
and earnestly and with the emphasis
of a high religious duty the principles
of dental hygiene.

say, for instance. in the left fore foot,
lame in the right one also.
Perhaps a small pebble IS inserted
between the shoe and the hoof of the
latter foot, the pain of which causes
the animal to limp with the right as
well as the left leg, one thus counter.

small iron wedge Is sometimes driven
underneath the foot corresponding
with the lame one, thus causing both
legs to go lame alike, which only gives
the horse a different motion.

to the trick of making horses appear

drugs or chemicals. An animal is Oft.

Destructive Earthquakes.

In 1893 an earthquake overturned
fifty-four cities and towns; Catania
and it's $4,000 Inhabitants were wiped
out of existence and more than 1O0,-
600 lives were lost altogether. In 1902
Yeddo, Japan, was ruined and 100000
people killed. In 1871 Picking lost
100000 by an earthquake. In 1854
10000 were engulfed at Grand Cairo.
The following year Lisbon was wreck
ed the second time, losing $4,000 peo-
pie. The same year Kaschan, Persia,
with 10000 people, was totally de-
stroyed. In 1859 Baalbec. Syria. was
destroyed, 10000 persons being killed.
The same number persisted at Allepo
in 1882. In 1851 Melf, Italy, was laid
in ruins and $4,000 lives lost. In 1857
in Calabria and elsewhere not less than
10000 persisted by earthquake shocks.
One authority on the subject estimates
that in the years between 1855 and
1857 the kingdom of Naples lost not
less than 111,OOO of it's people by
earthquakes.

A well known Philadelphia society
wonlan said the other day:
II have come to separate the men of
my acquaintance into three classes.
There are the dancing men, the dinner
men and the corner men, and each has
his own place ON my list. For instance,
i would never think of depending upon
dancing men for dinner. The dane
ing man is generally callow, and he
doesn't know much else besides dane
ing. On the other hand, the dinner man
seldom dances, but he is a good talker,
is specifically informed upon the light
err topics of the day-the opera, drama,
the latest novels and can more than
hold up his end. He doesn't allow con-
versation to lag, and consequently he
is an important factor at dinner. Men
will accept dinner invitations quicker
than invitations of other kinds. but
don't think from this that they are all
dinner men. Far from it.
sThe corner man? Oh, he is the one
who has the knack of making himself
generally useful and is quite in a class
by himself. He looks after the comfort
Of the chaperons, runs handy little en-
rands and can even be depended upon
at afternoon teas. The other men don't
think much of him. but he has his own

them gently in Il frying pan or Oh the

A Riddle Making Epoch.

There have been epochs at which rid
die making has been more especially in
vogue, and such epochs would appear
to occur at seasons of fresh intellectual
awakening. Such an epoch there was
at the first slimmering of new intel

seventh century. This was the age of
Aldhelm, bishop of Sherborne, the first
in the roll of AngloLatin poets. He
left a considerable number of enigmas
in Latin hexameters, and they have
been repeatedly printed.
Aldhelm died in 1909. Before his
time there was collection of Latin
riddles that bore the name of Sympho-
sius. OF this work the date is un-
known. We only know that Aldhelm
used it, and we may infer that it was
then Il recent product. The riddles of
Symphosius were uniform in shape.
