No duplicate Chandeliers.

"Did you ever notice" said the OBJ
serving man, "that every public build.
ing has chandeliers unlike those of any
other public building? There are No
duplicates. You go into one church
and you see a handsome chandelier
that it would seem worth while to du
plicate for another church, but you
never find 1t In another church. You
go into a big hall, and you'll observe
some stunning globes and chandelier
fixtures and look for 'em in some Other
big hall, but they're not there. / don't
know what principle the makers OF
chandeliers go on, whether 1t is mat
ter of pride with them not to fit out
two buildings alike or whether con
tractors for such buildings insist on
exclusive designs, but the chandelier
people must employ some remarkably
versatile artists to think up so many
different designs. 1t seems like waste
of money to make only one of kind
but it is a pleasure to know that hal
or home may be exclusive in its chan
deliers."

A traveller In Venezuela gives an in
teresting description of the fish or the
Orinoco country. He says the party
several times came in contact with the
carib fish. which are the most ferocious
inhabitants OF the water known. The
fish are not over fourteen inches long,
but they travel In schools. Their teeth
are three cornered. Any living object
which attracts their attention II q.

OF an Indian woman who entered the
water to fill a bucket. She was at
tackled by the fish and reached shore
only to die In fifteen minutes. The
flesh was literally torn from her body.
Mr.. Dart, who was with Mr.. Thomp-
son, caught one Of the fish and pulled
1t upon the bank. He held the carib
under his foot while he pointed at the
peculiar teeth with his finger. With a
quick movement the carib Topped out
from under Mr. Darts foot and seized
him by the finger, cutting that member
to the bone. The fish frequently have
been known to bite ordinary 6shhooks
In two.

Though dentistry became a science
under the hand of Professor Richard
Owen as late as 1889, there are EVIL
dences that it was practiced in a crude
way by the ancients. Herodotus refers
to treatment of the teeth by the Egyp-
tians, and evidences of attempts to
supply artificial teeth have been dis
covered In ancient skulls and mum
mics. Galen was the first physician
to speak of treatment Of troublesome
teeth, and Ambrose Pare, In bis work
on surgery in 1850, makes mention of
the preservation or the teeth. 1t is
only since the middle of the last GEN.

fore that time bad teeth were extract
ed, and mere tooth drawing constitut-
ed dentistry early In the nineteenth
century. The first dental school In the
United States was erected at Balti-
more In 1899. In 1916 Cincinnati boast
ed of similar institution, and in 1856
n dental school was erected at Phila-
delphia.

HOW SOUTH SHOULD LEAD 4
New Orleans States.
, ~%%%%~>>%~~>~<~>

In spite of the urging of the Demo
cratic papers in the north there is no
reason to think the south will assume
the leadership of the national demo
cracy next year in the sense of ask
ing the nomination of a southern
man for president. But there is one
way, and a most important way, in
which the South, when the national
convention meets, can take the lead
with the assurance that the party will
follow it, and that was is to insist
upon so formulating the party plat
form for 1908 as to make tariff re-
form the cardinal issue of the cam
paign.
There is not the least doubt that
the South is in position to command
the party to rally to her support on
this issue, thus showing that she
wants nothing but what will be for
the good of all the people, and is
wiling to accept any candidate pro-
vided he is good Democrat, standing
ON a sound Democratic platform. In
his recent interview with the New
York Times Mr. Cleveland plainly
limited that this duty devolved on the
South as the most powerful represen-
tatiVe of the country's Democracy,
and he spoke warningly when he de-
clared that conditions had come to
such a pass that one or the other
of the two parties would be compelled
to adopt tariff reform as its slogan.
President Roosevelt, lIAe the astute
| politician he is, realizes this fact
quite as wen as Mr.. Cleveland. and
he is promoting the candidacy of
Secretary Taft for the republican
presidential nomination, because that
gentleman is a pronounced opponent
of StandpatiSm, and the president 9p-
preciateS the wisdom of propitiating
the growing tariff revision sentiment
within the republican party by the
nomination of man like Mr.. Taft
But there is little reason to doubt
that the sober sense of the country
understands quite well that under a
republican administration pledged 10
tariff reform, and allied with the
trusts that supply its huge campaign
funds, the measure of tariff reform
granted TO the masses of the people
would be as so much Dead Sea fruit.
The people would not be given the re-
form. hence the relief they looked for
would prove to be a delusiOn and d
snare.
Therefore the South is presented
with an opportunity to lead in secur-
ing a clean-cut, unqualified and unmis-
taxable assault upon DIngleyism and
standpatism If the assault is sue
cessful, as many distinguished Dem
ocrats and Independents believe it
will be, the way will be opened for
the humiliation of the trust evil in
this country without any injury being
done TO legitimate business and in
dustrial enterprises. With a victory
upon such an issue it matters little
from what section of the country the
candidate may come
