trated lecture last evening under the aus
pices of the District Of Columbia Dental
Society. at its rooms in the dental depart
ment of the George Washington University,

city and its prevention and cure. He
showed that the dread destroyer had a firm
hold here, but that 1t was preventable and
durable in it's earlier stages, by teaching
the infected to destroy their sputum and to
place others in environment of plenty
of fresh air and sunshine. in the presence
of which no tuberculous bocili could live
long This environment. he said, with good
food and rest make a cure in a large per-
centage in the first stages of the disease.
The lecturer told of the good work that
was being done with limited means, and
urged each of his hearers, as practitioner
of branch of the healing art. to take an
interest in the work and to aid with his
knowledge and practical help. 1t was
brought more strongly than ever to each
member the utmost care he should exercise
in cleansing and sterilizing his instruments
and cuspidor as protection to himself and
his patients.
At the conclusion DR.. ]. Hall Lewis, dean
of the dental department of the university,

Chinese Civilization.

From ChautauQuan.
Ten centuries ago China was undoubtedly
the most civilized portion of the world. and
three thousand years ago only Egypt and
possibly India could have competed with It.
But while the others have changed in vari-
Gus ways, China has remained the same
Think of some of its achievements The
greatest structure ever reared by human
hands is the great wall. 1t is l 100 miles
long; without break 1t crosses valleys,
climbs mountains, chambers up the face of
precipices, and bounds an empire on the
north. 1t was built before the formation
of the Roman empire, while 1t was still a
republic, and while Christianity was still
unborn. in 204 BIC. Or, to take a modern
instance, while the enlightened peoples OF
Europe were still engaged with the cru
sades, before gunpowder or the printing
press had been invented, China built the
great canal. almost seven hundred years
ago.
Our Imagination falls us with such num-
bers. A thousand years of Chinese history
makes no impression upon US, for they
stand for no eyeats and are represented to
our thought by nothing distinguished in
character or literature. But to the scholar
all Is different. He learns to fill out the
centuries and gain at least some faint idea
of their magnitude. He comes to under
stand that it has not been quite monot-
onous sameness, but that there have been
wise and unwise rulers, successful and IN
efficient dynasties, periods of refinement
with fiourishing literature and art and
periods of terrible and desolating warfare.
In China, too, he comes to understand there
have been great sovereigns, great novelists,
great essayists, great historians, great ar
lists. To begin to master all that has been
there achieved is beyond the powers of any
man. and the most that an industrious stu
dent can hope to do is to learn more or
less thoroughly the events of some single
period, or to trace the development of some
particular line of science or of art Chi

minable, and dictionaries which are terri

There are upward of 10000 names on the
lists of golf clubs in and about London.
where IN 1880 the man who played golf was
generally regarded as either a harmless
lunatic or as one who was long past his

they had more than doubled during the
