The Dentist and the ALLIGATOR.

Roy Farrell Greene, the president
OF the American Society of Curio Col.
lectors, told at a dinner of dentists an
appropriate story.
"A dentist" he said. was once
travelling in the East, and in the
Ganges his boat overturned and he
was obliged to strike out rfor the
shore.
"As the dentist swan sturdily
through the muddy water an enor-
nous alligator suddenly rose up be.
fore him. The alligator opened its
enormous Jaws, and the next instant
would have been the dentists last.
only-just In time-the man hap
pened to notice the great reptiles
sharp, white teeth, and an idea struck
him.
HE drew probe from his pocket,
and, pressing 1t into the alligator's
gums, he said:
Does this hurt you?
"The alligator screamed with pain,
aud the dentist, amid its great agony,
made good his escape. "-Philadelphia

conditioned on which the American

DR.. Lowrey is confident that he will
achieve success in his undertaking, al
though the progress of the work has
been somewhat slow since the begin

Chairman Kyle Of the house con.
mittee on humane and benevolent
institutions, has submitted the fol.
| lowing report on the Vicksburg char.
ity hospital:
Mr.. Speaker Your committee on
humane and benevolcn: institution.
beg leave to submit the following re-
port Of their investigation of the state
charity hospital at Vicksburg:
Under the direction of the legisla-
ture, we have visited this Institution
and thoroughly examined into all the
details OF its management and condi-
ton, and we feel it our duty to state
Of all the charitable institutions Of
our state, there is not one more ef-
iciently managed or more honestly
or economically conducted than this:
nor is there one that is doing more
efficient work in the cause of human
ity. Our investigation has been thor
ough and searching and systematic,
covering every department of the
management and every detail of each
department. We found the hospital
in clearly, sanitary condition and the
patients well attended; every care
necessary to their comfort and health
being given by DR.. Martin, the sur
geon in charge, and his able corps Of
assistants and nurses.
1t is our idea that paupers are hu-
man. as we'll as those in more prosper
porous circumstances and that they
should receive from the state that
care and treatment necessary from
physical affection, beyond their meas
ure to cure In this connection We
feel warranted in saying that this
hospital is meeting every demand and
fulfilling the purpose Of its creation
by meeting our charity in the true
Christian spirit, IN relieving the sick
and needy. Under the Efficient SER
vices of the surgeon in charge, assist
ed and supported by the board of
trustees, we believe that the work
done here for the relief of suffering
humanity is surpassed by none and
equaled by few Ike institutions in
the south. We do not think that too
much can be said in conendation of
DR.. Martin, whose heart seems to be
in his work, who devotes his time,
talent and energies without stint to
the success of his important charge;
and We would recommend that his
salary be increased to 5000 per
year.

Grand Master-eleet Of the grand lodge
Of the Mississippi Masons, who is a
prominent business man Of Shelby,
has the distinction of being the first

is noted novel coincidence. He is
a nephew by marriage Of Julius Yaret-
ky, the grand tyler, who has behind
him many years Of honorable service
as doorkeeper Of the Mississippi
grand lodge.
One of the principal matters en-
gaging the attention of the grand
lodge was the proposed Widows and
Orphans Home, for which an endow-
ment fund exceeding $4,000 is now
on hand. The question of location
was left open, and committee ap-
pointed to entertain bids and select
a location within the next six months.
The grand lodge appropriated $1,000
for the home endowment fund.
The grand lodge will meet in 1907

long have we depended upon other
people to do for us what we should

The address was well rounded, anu
long before it was finished Adams
knew that it had been written and
committed to memory. When the meet
ing was closed he sat till the speaker
had passed out in company with an
angular woman with square jaw
and glittering eye, who looked far
more like candidate than Miss Day.
Adams followed his opponent home.
and a few minutes after she had en-
tered he rang and was admitted. The
angular woman had gone on to another
house, and he found Miss Day one.
He told her that he had been to the
meeting and had heard her speak, but
did not mention that she had been adj
dressing, among others, her opponent.
He found her as charming as she had
been in the coach and not at all like
the woman who could speak harshly of
any one, even the man who was try
ing to get the office she coveted He
told her that "this man Adams" was to
speak at D.; few miles farther on,
the next night, and she resolved to go
and hear him.
The next evening before the speaker
entered one of the campaign commit
tee announced that to avoid Interrupt
tons no one would be allowed to en-
ter or depart until the candidate had
finished his address. Only few per-
sons awaited themselves of this notice
to get out before the speaker entered
and took the stand. He kept his eyes
fixed on two ladies occupying back
seat and his whole address was q
modest statement of his own def
ciencies for school commissioner and
an encomium upon the merits of his
opponent.
Surprised Gs was the audience at this
address, the other voters, when they
read report of it. all were still more
astonished to learn that Miss Day had
withdrawn from the race, and, having
| quarreled with her campaign manager,
it had come out that the manager had
written Miss Days speeches, who had
committed them to memory.
Adams, having no opposition, was
unanimously elected. He married Miss
Day, who for long while refused one
who she said had locked her in and
| then poured Goals of fire on her head"

The Floor of the Pacific.

The red clay which covers the deep
floors of the Pacific and the Indian
oceans is made up of refuse and residue
that which can withstand the strong
chemical action of the gases. In it
may be found decomposed volcanic
rock, pumice, zeolitic crystals, man
ganese oxides, meteoric iron, teeth of
sharks and ear bones of whales. Few
if any shore deposits are apparent in it.
The rock is vitreous refuse, belched
forth by subterranean or insular vol.
canoes. The minerals are supposed to
be of cosnic origin-planetary dust and
meteoric fragments that have fallen
into the sea and have become disinte-
grated. The great quantity of sharks
teeth remains quite unaccounted for
at least their apparent gathering to-
gether in these ocean basins is consid-
cred very strange. G. Van Dyke in
