A large number of scholars at

short program.
On account of the beautiful
sunshine and the pupils good be-
havior in school, they were given
nearly twice as long a recess as

A reward system for excellent
department has been established
throughout the school. In the
Primary room it seems to be quite
an inspiration, and is working
like a charm.
We hope it was non of our
school boys that took the freezer
of ice cream. One must be very
small to take anything like that
from the ladies' when they are try
ing to help pay for the repairing
of the church.
Miss Sanders asked some of the
pupils from the high room to or

Something must have gone
wrong with the weather-man last
Saturday for he let us have a pleas

PREHISTORIC DENTISTS
Teeth Drawers Piled Their Painful
Trade in Earliest Times.

&iauc AZ SdTlleSL IlIneS.
Although the profession of den.
tistry is commonly supposed tc
be n of the modern arts there
are evidences showing that it was
practiced many centuries ago in
widely separated parts of the
world. These discoveries estab-
lish the fact that the art is prob.
ably as old as any of the learned
professions now known. The
making of false teeth and the fill.
ing the dental cavities is so an.
-cient a trade that it reaches far
beyond the bounds of history. al
though it has generally been con.
sidered rs a science of modern or
igin.
The Gre eks and the Romans
had false teeth. as ancient illus
ions in the records tell. Perhaps
the laughing pearls between the
lips of Cleopatra 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 sci
ence of dentistry is recorded. Re-
cent discoveries show that it ex-
tended even into the time of the
early Egyptian ~dynasties. Not
long ago mummies were discover
ed on the banks OF the Nile. For
1000 years or so they had been
erinuing with false teeth in their
sarcuphagi, reeth filled with
gold, much HIS n dentist would fill
the aching void in n tooth to-day,
have been discovered in some of
these mummies.
Excavations among the ruins of
the prehistoric cities of Central
America have brought to light
the fact that the profession of the
dentist n one much esteemed
and ~prutitahly followed in the
days of that mysterious civiliza-
tions that once existed there.
The dentists of those prehistor-
ic American days filled their pa
TENTS teeth not with gold. but
with little discs of bright green
iadeite. The skulls of nearly all
of the people VINO were buried in
costly tombs and who were evil
IDENTIFY people of fashion have
been found to have teeth in them
fled down Ia n point and set with
these little green discs.
1t is thought the filling was not
put in to stop a prehistoric tooth
ache, but as II matter of ornament.
Probably the custom originated
mt first from the same causes
which now induce us to have our
teeth filled with gold. but it soon
became to be thought ornamental
and so became Il fashion and
badge of rank.
The common people, living on
coarser food, were supposed to
have sound teeth. but the pamper-
ed mobiles, living on rich and deli
cate food. had teeth which decay
ed and so were supposed to re-
ouire the attention of the dentist
So. though dentistry has no
known founder, like medicine. it
is an ancient and honorable pro-
fessior which can dispute with
its kindred science for the palm
of antiquity.

EDrToR JORDAN's IMPRESSIONS.

Editor Adrian P. Jordan of
the Punta Gorda Herald, attend
ed the Democratic convention
as a delegate from Florida. and
in writing up his observations
ON the doiugs of the convention
speaks thus of william Jennings
Bryan, the great central figure
of that convention. Mr.. Jordan
says:
"A noteworthy fact is that
WIN. Jennings Bryan, in the
speeches made by him before
the convention, proved himself
the greatest orator on the Amer.
can continent, if not on the
whole earth. He alone Of all
the great orators there could
and did command the rapt at
teution of all that restless,
shouting, uncomfortable con.
course of ten thousand people.
Everyone heard every word that
he uttered and all, even those
regarded as his enemies, enthu-
siastically applauded the thun-
der claps of his grand, peerless,
oratory. To him as a man, a
patriot and a matchless orator,
the greatest ovations were Civ
en-; and these assuredly had the
effect OF convincing him that,
Notwithstanding his repeated de.
feats and all that had been said
against him, he still retained the
profound respect and the high,
est admiration of his party and
of the people.
Every one gave him credit
for honesty of purpose and uu-
faltering sincerity in devotion
to the tenets he advocated.
There was something run
ming through all his speeches
which escaped or seemed to es-
cape the scrutiny of his vast au-
dience and the critical insight
OF the stdtesment land journalists
who heard him. That some
thing was yelled appeal to the
convention to say something
like this to him; Mr.. Bryan,
we do not hold you responsible
for your two defeats; we do not
condemn you. You made a
grand fight, and though you
were defeated, we still regard
you as a man of the purest and
loftiest motives, a Democrat
who adds luster to the name of
the party and one whom we are
proud to have in our ranks
Bryan evidently felt that a
certain degree of odium or dis
credit attached to him for hav-|
ing twice led his party to defeat
and it seemed to be his wish to|
relieve himself OF it. While the
convention passed no formal
in accordance With |
such a wish, tie repeated grand
ovations which he received con-
tanned the assurance that bel
was freely and wholly forgiven

taken in the past in bringing
