DENTAL DECAY.
Bad Teeth, Ii LIS CInimed, May Lead
40 Appendicitis.

Appendicitis is often due to bad
teeth, said DR.. L. 5. Thompson, lectur-
ing at Gresham college London. The
same organisms, he said, were present
both In defective teeth and In the dis
tased appendix, which proved that den
tai decay WAS capable of causing ap-
pendicitis.
II see no evidence TO show that our
teeth are deteriorating to an alarming
extent with tie 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 | do
not think that nicotine has any more
effect on the teeth than alcohol. But
tobacco certainly 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 cur
riculum of schools. DR. Thompson al
so urged the practice OF washing the
teeth after meals and rubbing them
twice a day, and particularly the last
thing at night London Mail.

STORY OF GREATEST
OF HIS7ORY'S BATTLES
Francis McCullagh's Tale Of
Mukden to be Printed
Next Sunday.
WILL MAKE A SENSATION

Feature Of Great Chapter
of History.
WILL MAKE A SENSATION

The Battle OF Mukden, fought in
Manchuria in March of this year, was
the greatest conflict in the history OF
the world There were engaged in it
over 700, 900 men, and the Russian
army fed like a crazy mob, helpless
before the victorious japanese. The
Russians lost 200, 600 men.
The only history of this great com
bat has Just been written IL is told
by Francis McCullagh, a correspond
ent, who went INTO the battle with the
Russian forces, and was captured dur
ing the fight by the japanese.
Mr.. McCulIagh was an eye with ess
OF tho battle from both sides, and,
knowing the history knows how to tell
it, He has written il all graphically,
as only an eye witness can. He has
not gone into the detailed work of the
military expert. bat tells his story for
the man who wants to read 1t in good,
clear English, letting the horrible
facts themselves stand ont to adorn 1t
and point its great moral.
Mr.. McOullagh's history has been
secured for publication in Pennsyl-
vauia by the Philadelphia NORTH Avn
erican. Ii will be published in two
installments, and the first installment
OF eight pages will appear as a special
supplement added TO the Sunday issue
of the paper for July 2nd. 1t will be
complet ed Oh July 9th.
The newspaper reader who is watch
ing the peace IegOtiatlons Initiated bY
President Roosevelt will be able, afte
reading Mr.. McCullagh's story, to see
the necessity for cessation of hostil
titles in the East for the stopping OF
the dumb slaughter of drunken Rus
slams driven by incompetent officers.
OF revelations there scores in Mr.
McCullagh's history. He saw wha
the papers have never printd, and has
| put into concrete form all of the
scattered bits of stories that were pub
lished Without doubt, Mr.. McCul
lagh's account of this battle is the ont
to which the future will look as the
/ one true historical account of thl
struggle of giant armies.

THE PARSON BIRD.
The TUT of New Zealand Can Talk
Crow and whistle.

The TUT of New Zealand Can Talk,
Crow and whistle.
Among the feathered inhabitants OF
New Zealand there is a bird called the
parson bird, or "tui" 1t Is about the
size and shape OF a blackbird. but has
a pair OF delicate white tufts at its
throat and Is a glossy dark green 9th
shine. It can be taught TO crow, to
speak, to whistle tunes. and. besides
these Il lcks, II has repertory which
il not often equaled by any other
feathered songster. AT vespers 1t has
d note like the toll of a bell or the
clear, high note OF an organ. 1t can
mimic every bird in the bush 70 per
fection. II will break off in the middle
OF an exquisite melody and indulge In
a strange melody or sounds which nrc
impossible TO describe. but II you can
imagine "the combination Of cough,
a laugh, q sneeze, with the smashing
Of a pane OF glass" IT will be some ap-
proach to the idea.
The ''tui' nests twice or thrice year
and has large families Like the other
birds OF New Zealand, 1t seems to be
unconscious Of danger from man. 1t is
pity that the birds of this island are
becoming so scarce for they speak to
us OF a time when nature was harm
less. when the snakes, tigers and fal-
cons did not exist.

Having read accounts of brilliant cross
examinations and successful addresses
to iuricS. he has in mind that he is en-
tirely competent at the outset to try
the most complicated and difficult
cause. Unfortunately as to many who
are not qualified for that work it is
only after very many years and after
considerable experience at the expense
of litlgants and the public, If at all,
that they ascertain that they have not
the peculiar aptitude necessary to the
successful trial lawyer. In the mean
time not only have clients suffered, but
the business of the courts has been re-
tarded to a very serious extent by the
lack of adaptability on the part of the
practitioner as well as by lack of ex-
perience, since it is impossible that ev-
cry man admitted to the bar shall have
the opportunity to try sufficient mum
Der of causes to give him the degree of
experience requisite in order to obtain
the best results.
Sooner or later in the interest of the
clients and to save the time and pa
tience of the courts there must be in
this country a natural division be-
tween the labor OF the solicitor and the
duty of the barrister, not artificial or
conventional, but one which shall grow
up from the nature Of the case, by
which certain men who are best quail

on that work to the practical exclusion

MURDER SUSPECT

years of age, is now locked up in a cell
of the Northumberland county jail.
The arrest was made on suspicion of
his being the slayer of Michael Wan
zie, whose brutal murder of last Tues
day, has aroused the greatest interest
and indignation, and for the appre-
hepsion of whose murderer. two re
wards, aggregating $1,000, have been
issued.
The work. leading up to the arrest
will make a story by itself when the
proper time comes.

The officers gave pursuit. Riko, som e
distance ahead, saw them and went in
to the bushes Later he reappeared on
the public road. The police, thinking
him armed, followed him warily some
distance, and then, making cOmbin-
ed rush, captured him. He made no
attempt to shoot and would not talk.
During that visit to the Riko resi-
dence, the wife was approached with
some leading questions. She denied
that her husband ever owned shot
gun but search revealed it locked up
in cupboard. 1t was muzzle loading
piece
Some of the further evidence which
those interested in the capture tell of
is the discovery of a piece of metal,
from which slugs sim ar to those used
in the charge which killed Wanzie,
were evidently cut. Pieces of cotton
wadding. identical to that found near
the scene of the murder. used in max
ing a muzzle-loading charge, were
found with metal and gun.
What further evidence has been
found. will be brought forth at a pre-
liminary hearing to be held soon.
The prisoner was approached by a
newspaper representative in his cell in
the Mt. Carmel lookup. He freely
gave his name. using good English,
and said that he lived at Natalie for
seven years and had wife and seven
children.
He was neatly dressed, wearing a
stiff bosomed shirt and black tie, and
was evidently prepared to make a de-
paIture of some time. 1t is supposed

DOUBT WHETHER
PANAr1A CANAL

NEW YORK. June 2S.-Wlll the
Panama canal ever be dug: good
many people are beginning to doubt
it, especially when they consider the
history of the project. which was first
conceived some three or tonr hundred
years ago. Hope ran high when the
United States was given the job and
President Roosevelt's initial measures
and declaration promised we'll but "A
year has passed and performance seems
lacking
First the old canal commission head
ed by Admiral Walker was found to
be unwieldy. There was too much
divided authority aud some how or
other the thing wouldn't work. Then
came new order of things. Theodore
p Schontz, a hustliug rsilroad man
was placed at the head of affairs, while
John II. Wallace all eminent engineer
was placed in charge Of the actual
work of digging the canal.
Again hope rose that some thing
would be done. but the old canal hoodoo
is still at work, for now comes the
news that engineer Wallace has hand
ed his resignation to the president aud
that canal affaiIs are badly tangled
