Includes is what was called key,
doubtless from its peculiar shape,
which was used for extracting teeth,
the process being TO slowly and pain
fully twist and pry the offending molar
out Of its place In order that no mis-
take should be made the dentist began
operations by hammering and prod
ding one tooth after another with q
sort Of bludgeon until he had satisfied
himself-not to mention the tortured
patient-that he had found the most
sensitive one and therefore the most
likely candidate for extraction.
The grandfathers of the delicate steel
tools that lie in rows on the modern
dentists table were small in number,
but large In awfulness. There are in
the Harvard collection chisels and NAL
lets, rude forceps for removing the
teeth, miniature crowbars used to re-
pair cavities for filling, files for sharp
ening the cutting and grinding sur
faces of teeth and one particularly
horrid instrument, known as the pei
lean, with which teeth were lifted"
How rapidly and recently dentistry
has become one Of the important
sciences appears In the fact that in
the middle Of the last century black
smiths were doing their best-or worst
to relieve the victims Of the tooth
ache, while today institutions like the
Harvard Dental school, attract stu
dents from all over the world. Be-

looked like petroleum partly refined.

There is dignity Of carriage about
all tho women in this country. l fan
cied 1t might be due to the fact that
formerly, before the Code Napoleon
came into operation. the law obliged
the firstborn, whether boy or girl. to
inherit the patrimony and continue the
head Of the family, the husband taking
the wife's name when the inheritor was
woman, thus giving the woman a
perfect equality from her birth. The
matrons are not less beautiful than the
younger women.

hearing the people talk Spanish sound
seems to be occasionally emitted, it is
not really at all like Spanish. l was

Ancient Bridge Superstition.

A primitive notion existed among the
Romans and other races that bridge
was an offense and injury to the river
god, as it saved people from being
drowned while fording or swimming
across and robbed the deity Of a certain
number Of victims which were his due.
For many centuries in Rome propitia-
tory offerings Of human victims were
made every year to the Tiber. Men
and women were drowned by being
bound and flung from the wooden Sub
lician bridge, which, till nearly the end
of the republican period, was the one
and only bridge across the Tiber in
Rome.
