Early Dentistry.

The art of dentistry was practiced among the Egyptians and Etruscans and there are evidences in mummies and skulls that in very ancient times teeth were filed and efforts were made to supply the loss of natural by arti- ficial teeth. The first writer on the treatment of diseased teeth was Ga- len. The science was introduced into America by John Greenwood, who es- tablished himself in New York in 1TSS. In 1790 and again in 1795 he carved in ivory an entire set of teeth for General Washington

Verdi labored long before he per suaded Victor Hugo, who was yexed that the tragic beauties of his "Le Roi S'Amuse" had been turned into operatic effects, to attend a perform ance of "Rigoletto." He succeeded at length, and Hugo sat in the box with the composer and listened to the op- era. But not word did he speak Verdl's impatience got the better of him, and he asked:

1.-THE Mystery" by Stewart Edward

is attracting much attention and is
an interesting tale of a brilliant
though eccentric scientist Swallowed by
a free lance reporter to tropical Is
land where he works out one of hil
theories regarding the control of
electrical power and substance more
powerful than radium. 1t makes
good reading and the interest Is held
throughout. The creation savors too
much of the Stevenson style and
would easily pass under that authors
name. Some OF the characters seem
to have been picked from Treasure

slightly varied circumstances.

TRIBE OF INDIANS

Spokane, Wash, March 22.-Sur-
veyors working in the Yellowhead
pass of the Canadian Rockies, which
the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad
company seeks to penetrate with it's
transcontinental line, bring to Spok-
ane a story of the discovery of a tribe
of Indians hidden miles from civili-
zation in the northern wilds. They
appear to be contented and prosper
GUS, passing most of their time III
the chase Of big game and in breeding
horses.
The Indians claim to be descendants
from the once powerful lIoquois ma.
tion. Generations ago, they say,
they lived in Illinois, but in the
Blackhawk states and for safety we're
forced to fee into the northwest.
They travelled many months through
strange lands and territories ruled by
savage Indian tribes. They sought
shelter with the Blood, Blackfoot.
Cree and Beaver Indians, but were
treated like outcasts. Finally they
located at the mouth of the Yellow
head pass, and, as no one appeared to
modest them, they remained. For a
time they traded with the Hudson
Bay people, but for more than 100
years they have not been in commun.
ioation with either factors or traders.
Whether this is because of some real
or fancied wrong could not be learned.
The Indians were friendly to the sur
veyors and entertained them at a
potlach during their stay in the pass.

SOUTH GETS THE MONEY
The Bulk Of State Appropria-
lions Spent There.

Appropriations to the amount of L,
GAG, 599.72 have been made by the
legislature just adjourned. For ex-
travangance the ninth session has been
a record breaker. Think what the
tax rate will be in a state with less
population than the city of Indiana.
polls and taxable property of a valua-
tion a great deal smaller than the
above city. AS is usual, the southern
rart Of the state came in for the
principal part of the money to be
spent, and the fact that north Idaho
contributes good share of the taxes
of the state seemed to make but little
difference with the legislature. The
state normal school at Albion comes
in for a nice slice of the money,
and it seems, judging from a review
Of the proceedings of the nimble
ninth, that for every dollar to be
spent in the Panhandle country about
six are to be given over to the squan-
dering of the southern section. To
think of maintaining a state educa-
tional school some 16 miles from any
line of transportation and in a sparse
ly settled country, the nature of
which is such that it will be years
before the country is settled up and
it's probabilities of ever being located
on a railroad and easy of access are
the romotest. One good normal
school is plenty for Idaho for years
to come. There is school at Lewis
ton that is in fair way to be great
educational institution if it be pro-
perly fostered by the state and re-
ceives the entire appropriation in
place of having to divide it up with q
little one-horse institution placed in
the wilds, as a payment of a political
debt. There is anything but sincere
effort to build up the state being
made by the present Legislature. The
south half is awlays we'll looked after
with taxes that are being paid in part
by the north.
If things are to continue as they
have in the past it would be we'll foI
northern Idaho to conisder seriously
the advisability of an Inland Empire
state. -Grangeville Press.
