Now that the National conventions

certainly deserve some thought, and

DENTISTRY AS AN ANCIENT ART
Greeks and Romans of oiden Time
Understood the Craft.

Although the profession of dentistry
Is commonly supposed to be one of
the modern arts, there are evidences
showing that it was practiced many
centuries ago in widely separated
les establish the fact that the art is
probably as old as any of the learned
professions now known. The maxi
ing Of false teeth and the filing of
dental cavities is so ancient trade
that it reaches far back beyond the
bounds of history, although it has
generally been considered as a science
Of modern origin.
The Greeks and the Romans had
false teeth, as ancient illusions in
the records tell. Perhaps the laugh
ing pearls between the lips of CLEO
patra were, after all, .'store teeth
and Mark Antony did not know it.
The ancients could fill teeth with
gold, and far beyond the time of
Greece and Rome the science of den
tistry is recorded. Recent discoveries
show that it extended even into the
time of the early Egyptian dynasties.
Not long ago rnummies were discoy-
cred on the banks Of the Nile. For
five thousand years or SO they had
been grinning with false teeth in their
sarcophagi. Teeth filled with gold,
much as dentist would fill the ach-
ing void in a tooth today, have been

 Christ church was founded in 1854, January 6. as a mission and began it's good work. As it is a free church with only a slender endowment of about S5,- 000 it is the purpose of the church off, cials to undertake to secure an endow- ment fund to be known as the semi-cen- tennial memorial fund. the income of which is to be used for the work of the parish. Five rectors have ministered to Christ church during the past fifty Years. as follows: Revs. Joseph Brew ter, William G. Spencer, Rev. P. J. H. Van Deerlin, and for the last seventeen years, Rev. G. Brinley Morgan, who from membership of 159 has with him to-day 520 communicants.

WINTER TERM BEGINS.

Public Schools Open With Small Att

 The winter term of the public schools opened yesterday in very wintry way In fact, several teachers and scores of pupils were absent on account of illness or on account of the extreme cold and deep snow. It is expected that in few days the attendance will have become normal and the schools will be working smoothly again.
 The medical inspectors took up their duties yesterday, but will go to the schools only when summoned to inves- tigate cases of what are suspected to be contagious diseases. The city board of health will formulate rules, however for the inespectors at the next regular meeting.
