Appendc1hs

Appendicitis Is often due 70 bad teeth,

Gresham College, London The same or
ganisms. he said. were present both in
defective teeth and in the diseased ap-
pendfx. which proved that dental decay
was capable OF causing appendicitis.
''I see no evidence to show that our
teeth are deteriorating to an alarming ex-
tent with the growth of civilization" he
declared. and he pointed out that an even
larger proportion of diseased teeth had
been found among Egyptian and Roman
remains than existed at present
Tobacco has an injurious effect on the
digestion he went on, "but 1 do not
think that nicotine has any more effect on
the teeth than alcohol. But tobacco GER
tainIy blackens the teeth, and so causes
many persons who are careful of their
personal appearance to brush their teeth
more often than they would otherwise
do
He had found cod liver oil amazingly
successful in promoting the growth OF
teeth in children. and he recommended
the toothbrush drill as part of the curri-
culum of schools. DIR. Thompson also
urged the practice of washing the teeth
after meals, and rubbing them twice a
day, and particularly the last thing at
night.

The Sea Flight
By w. Il. PheIon

IN the tide.
Where the flags of battle ride.
~ Plates of steel and hearts of oak
Strive amid the swirling smoke
Strive amid the eddying breeze
For the loriship of the seas.
Vast gray forms
Crash among the reeling storms,
Hurting, with their brass-lipped breath
Ton on ton of metal death;
Shifting till the armored bulks
Turn to shapeless. shattered hulks!
Nelson-thou
OF the victor's wreath-crowned brow,
Saw'st thou ever such sight,
Even in Trafalgar's fight?
Was there ever, in thy day,
EQUAL 10 this steel-clad fray?
Not sail
Flaps against the sulphurous gale.
Towering columns, iron masts,
Totter in the fiery blasts.
Rope and shroud have passed and gone,
With the fighting ironclad's dawn!
Old romance.
When the battleships Of France
Fought the British. closely laid.
Boarding pike and hand-grenade-
All have joined the long past stream
Like the shadows of dream
Modern skill,
Plates to save and shots to kill;
Armor and electric art
Play to-day the heavier part
In the game where fighting craft
Counter broadsides fore and aftI
It Is done
And the Yellow Men have won
And the red sun lights the wave
Where the Russians found a grave;
While the great gray victors ride
Shattered but in conquering pride!

characterizes its finer types in our
own land 1t is "the grand pas
sion." an emotional spree as heady
as champagne.
Our American ideal, and the
place in the social scheme which
our men accord to woman, is abso-
lutely incomprehensible to French
thought. In land run wholly in
the interests of man, woman is
either a helpmate or a plaything.
Socially she may be force. But
she is not to be trusted out of
sight She must be watched and
she must be guarded. Her great
triumph in life is to awaken ad-
miration and love. not such a love
as we believe in at home, the dedi-
cation of ones whole life to
single supreme joy, one noble in
spiration, but love which is
selfish delight, an exhilaFating
pleasure.
Mere beauty Of form and feature
has therefore a value to a French
woman which it would never have
to an American. For by beauty
may she win her queendom or lose
It, If she is ugly she must make
herself interesting, If only. super
ficially. If she is fair, her charms
are never so great that they can
not be enhanced artificially.
Does fashion call for COM
plexion of pink pallor? Then nine
Paris1ans out of ten will put on
pink pallor. To French ideas a
nose shaped into good outline by
paraffin is a feature far more
worthy than it would be if left in
its natural uncomely state, it's lean
places unpadded.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 20.-By an
explosion i'm the Virginia mines about
Is miles southwest of Birmingham at
4 o'clock this afternoon, between Ito
and 1876 union miners are entombed
and it is believed that the entire num-
Der suffered death. Scores of vigorous
rescuerS are at work digging into the
mine to relieve their friends and COM
rades on the inside.
The explosion is believed to have
been caused by an accumulation OF
dust although the mine has hereto
fore been noted for being entirely
free from such. 1t is also believed
that as the entire quota has probably
been killed the details of the cause
of the disaster will never be known.
~ The news spread like wild !. fire
throughout the whole, district. The
camp is almost isolated from the rest
of the world, as there is no telephone
station at Virginia and the only wire
running to the place. is a dispatchers
wire of the Birmingham Mineral
Railroad, on which Virginia is located.
Details of the disaster were slow to

The class of miners employed was
the best in the district, and all be-
longed to the United Mine-WorkerS of

on in the Birmingham district. many
of the most Industrious and thrifty
miners of Pratt City and other i'm.
portant mining points have removed
to the Virginia mines, so that the
mines were being worked to their full
capacity by the most skilled miners OF
the community. Relief trains with
surgeons and wOrkmen were dis
patched from Birmingham and Besse-

astcr was learned. They began the
work of succor in earnest before six

o'clock tomorrow morning before the
interior of the slope is reached. The
