DENTISTRY 1000
YEARS OLD

While unthoughtful moderhs regard
dentistry as being virtually science
of our own age, archaeologists know
that it was practiced among the
ancients. The museums of Rome and
other places In Italy possess various
specimens of dentists work dating
from before Christ, and another such
specimen has recently been discov,
cred In the jaws of a skeleton found
in tomb at Teano. The skeleton is
that of woman, and from the jaws
there was etracted a gold mount con-
tanning six teeth. A peculiar fact
about the find Is that the teeth, al
though "fiapped" with flaps of rims to
steady loose teeth For gold, were
undoubtedly natural, and the theory is
that the ancients used gold artificial
teeth the dentists of the old world had
a fancy for animal teeth, especially
bovine, by reason of their hardness,
though occasionally a person of power
ty would sell one for sufficient consid-
Globe.

Jetton, State Revenue Agent, who in
stituted proceedings several weeks

represented Bass.
Mr. Barthell presented the, case for
the Revenue Agent, exhibiting draw
ings of the buildings in which the bar
rooms are located 1t was shown that
Bass had made physical connection be-
tween two buildings owned by differ
ent persons, one having an entrance
on Broadway and the other having an
entrance o-Second avenue, and in one

that Womack Bros. had made similar

not make any argument, leaving the

The greatest names in English histor
are in the betting books of Brooke
and Whites, the clubs where fortunes
and estates changed hands at card
and dice each night. In this countr.
no man lost esteem by reason of higl
play until the coming of the presen
generation.
That era has ended. The law, sup
ported by public sentiment, has
caused the gambling king" of Amer
lea this summer to offer his $500 900
hell at Saratoga for sale. A house
that cost him almost as much to build
and decorate in New York has been
unoccupied and unvisited for two
years.
Richard Garfield is a man of educa-
ton; an appreciative lover of art; an
agreeable companion of men Of equal
wealth and mental gifts. But his mil
lions cannot buy the possession of the
poorest laborer-the right to enter the

gamblers day Is done.
A century ago lotteries were APP
proved in every community. The last
one has been crushed by the national
government, though it was intrenched
in the constitution of a state The
policy vendor, forced to sell his
chances in secret, is looked upon as
meaner criminal than the petty thief.
No people love the thoroughbred
horse more than Americans. But rae
ing now is permitted in only four
states, and in those is taxed and re-
stricted. Because it has been impos-
sible to divest the sport of it's gamb-
ling accompaniment, cities like Chi
cago and st. Louis have forced the
abandonment of tracks in which mil
lions were invested. Tennessee, one
of the greatest breeding states, has
put the ban upon all betting, and the
persistent efforts of the past to legal |
ize' pool-selling in other states, like
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, have
proved more and more hopeless every
year.
The same class of men who sought
their amusement, openly in the gamb-
ling bells, free to all corners, half
century ago, would be ashamed to adj
NIT today that they were in the habit
Of playing poker in private games.

women has been started in Flee
street, London. 1t aims to give praC
tical education in newspaper work IL
all branches, and it is conducted IL
connection with an actual publishing
establishment from which three mag
azines are issued.
A number of literary women who
have gained distinction in London by
their work are patronesses OF the
journalistic school, among them John
Strange Winter" Mrs Henry Reeves
and Mrs. T. P. O'Connor. The late
Mrs. Craige was also interested In it.
Miss Cartwright, the principal, is
herself an editor and practical
journalist, the daughter of a publish
er. One of her magazines is edited
on the premises, and in this way she
is able to take her pupils through the
entire field, from the selection of sub
jects of articles to the editing Of copy
and the setting up of the matter in
type.
There are classics in story writing,
interviewing, fashion drawing and
story illustration, art, dramatic and
musical criticism, book reviewing,
subediting, proof correcting and society
reporting. There are classes also in
typewriting, shorthand, advertising
writing and in French.
Girls are trained in the duties OF
Private Secretary. A paper is issued
from the school. Just as the dramatic
companies apply to theater schools
for pupils so do papers and magazines
of London apply to Miss Cartwright
when they want intelligent young
women. The new magazine, the Jab-
berwork, has been recruited from the |
graduation of. the school.
The great advantage Of the London
school is it's location in the same
building with an actual publication Of
fee. Here the editor and the princi-
pal discuss timely subjects and in.
struct the pupils in the task of pre-
pairing articles and stories which
must be good for publication possibly
/ year later than the time they are
