1.-TWO of the most troublesome pa
TENTS l have are members of my own
profession" said a dentist In discussing
the fortunes Of teeth. Strange to say"
he continued, 'many dentists, whether
from natural defects or early negli-
gence, have exceedingly poor teeth, and
as no practitioner can attend to his own
we exchange services. If any of the
patients of these two capable D. D. SIS
are revengeful of disposition 1t would
do them good to see them In the chair.
All men arc much more difficult sub
jects for dentistry than women, accord
ing to my own experience, but the way
the two in question wriggle, writhe,
groan and cuss under the ordinary oper-
atlons should be most gratifying to any
one who has suffered at their hands,

The Costiincss of and the

The Costlincss of and the
Mortality of Cancels.
The merchants who fit out a gar1a
(caravan) must stand all losses; conse-
quently great care is given to the Sc
lection of both the camels which carry
the valuable merchandise and the men
who accompany them. The tall n
swift riding camel known as the me
hari Is seldom met with IN northern
Tripoli. The finest male draft am
els, the jamal, costing from $50 to $50
apiece, with a carrying capacity Of
about three hundredweight, are used
for transport. From consumption or the
effects of the long strain scores often
die by the way and many others at
the end of the voyage" The wages
of the men for conducting a return car
go are sometimes as high as $4,000.
Not only must the garfa sheiks have
great courage and endurance, but must
be trustworthy traders and shrewd dip
lomats of no small caliber. Many of
the sultans and chiefs, particularly the
Touaregs, through whose territories lie
the garf1a routes, exact not only hon.
age, but tribute, from the gar1a sheiks.
To bring this tribute within a reason
able sum and secure a safe conduct re-
quires extraordinary skill and tact
The opportunities for dishonesty afford
&c the garfla men are many, and occa-
sionaily men and goods are never heard

OLD GLORY.

story on the stnTs md Stripes on the
American Flag.
The design for the American flag,
with thirteen stripes Of alternate red
and white and thirteen white stars In
a blue field, representing the thirteen
states struggling for independence,
was adopted by the Continental con
gress on June IA, 1777, a little less
than a year after the declaration of
independence. The first flag of this
design was made as a specimen for
the congress by Betsy Ross. a dress
maker, of Philadelphia. 1t Is supposed
that this flag was first unfurled by
Paul Jones on the Ranger. a vessel of
the navy to which he had been as
signed on the day that the resolution
adopting the design was passed. The
thirteen stars Of the flag of 1777 were
arranged In a circle, though no form
was prescribed officially. This flag re
NAMED unchanged until 1894, and then,
on motion Of Senator Bradley Of Yer
mont, which, with Kentucky, had been
admitted to the Union, 1t was resolved
that from and after May 1, 1895, "the
flag of the United States be fifteen
stripes, alternate red and white; that
the union be fifteen stars, white In a
blue field" This was the flag used In
the war of 1912. The act made no
provision for future alterations In the
flag, and none was made until 1918.
Upon the suggestion of Captain Sam
uel G. Reid Of the navy a bill was
passed on April 4, 1918, reducing the
number of stripes in the flag to the
original thirteen and making the num-
Der of stars equal to the number of
states. The new star for a new state
is not added to the flag until the Fourth
of July following the admission of the
new state.-St. Louis Republic.

In certain parts of India the oil ex-
tracted from a species of mite is used
In medicine as an external counterirri-
tant. The creature is about half an
inch long and on pressure eXudes an
oil Of a deep red color. 1t is only found
for a few weeks at the beginning Of
the rainy season and Is, hence, known
as the rain insect. e. G.. Hill contrib
utes a note on the chemical COMPOSE
ton of this oil to the Journal and Pro-
ceedings of the Aslatic Society. He
concludes that the supposed medical
virtues of the oil are imaginary and
due probably to It's red color.

UNIQUE Music Box.

The charming daughter Of Mr..
Patrick Mulhooly was within a few
weeks Of her twenty-first birthday, and
her proud father decided that ne
would buy her q music stool, one of
those that can be lowered or raised by
twisting the seat around. A few
hours after he had brought his pur-
chase home his wife discovered him
with his coat off and great drops or
perspiration pouring from his face,
diligently screwing the seat up and
down. "Arrah, Pat" said she, what
have We got thereT
Its a little present for Kathleen, y
he explained betweeC his gasps. "Se
know she has a liking for music.
Sorra bit of good this will be to her
at all, at all. Shure I've been winding
the blissid machine up for the last
two hours and niver tune has 1t
played yet. The thing won't even
squake."

she sings she dimes at $50 on roast

She eats nothing more, and between

Mrs. Senator Knox Makes Butter

Far out of the common run of pres
ents is the kind of gift Mrs p. c. Knox
makes now and then to certain of her
closest friends. Books? No. Pictures?
Pshaw. Jewels? Never? Just dainty lit
tie cases, holding each five pounds Of
butter.
No grocery stuff this, but from the
Knox dairy, and immensely proud Of
it is the wife of the Senator from Pen
nsylvania. About three years ago
her eldest son, Reed Knox, elected TO
be a farmer, and his parents estab-
lished him on a rich stretch Of land
near the famous Valley Forge. The
Senator and Mrs. Knox are delighted
with rustic life and spend much time
on the farm.
Last winter Mrs. Knox suffered from
nervous trouble, so she Cancelled her so
cial engagements and retired to Val
ley Forge. She spent the summer and
autumn in the dairy, experimenting
the milking and churning, and at odd
times she read advanced works on the
subject.
She is as proud of her butter as any
model farmers wives in old-fashioned
English novels, and during the fall and
winter she has been distributing the
proofs of her proficiency in the butter
making line.

Bank Stocks Valuable.

A recent list Of New York Citys
eighty-one commercial banks, with the
latest prices bid for the 500 shares
Of each, shows that only one stock is
offered at par. All the other eighty
stocks are bid for at premium, the
prices offered ranging from $40 foi
three or four, to $1,000 for one stock.
Other very high prices are $4,000,
s1,65O, $1,000 and $1,500, one of each.
Only twenty-one of the eighty-one
stocks are bid for at prices below 5000.
Forty-one range from 5000 to $500 and
twelve from $500 to $1,000.
This is striking testimony to Ameri-
can banking success and also to the
rapidly growing Importance of New
York as q world money-center.
