Novel by Lillian Bell Turns on
Christian Science

The appearance of Christian Science
in fiction by an author of reputation
evidences the conversion to that faith
If faith it be--of a writer no less dis
tinguished than Lillian Bell Caro-
lima Lee" is the story, bright, breezy
and full of quotable humor. Carolina
is introduced as child. born and edu-
Gated in Paris. Her father is of the
Southern gentleman type, intensely
American intensely Southern. He is a
diplomatic representative at Paris
later transferred to London, and
though he is credit to his country is
unhappy because he is unable to get
back to America and rebuild the an
cestral home in the South, destroyed
during the war. That. in barest OUT
line, is Carolina's inheritance love
for the South and love for her father.
She loses father, mother and fortune,
incurs the dislike of her brothers wife,
and finds the broken-down home of her
ancestors mortgaged to her enemy.

all, she meets with a worse than fatal
accident while riding.
The troubles piled upon her seem
beyond human endurance and the read

she says that God has been a cruel

teachings help her over many a stony
bit of her road, and as she regains her
courage she rapidly returns the way
to health and happiness.
Miss Bell has been writing success
full novels for a dozen years, and it
does not appear that her departure
of creed has cost her anything of her
literary power to interest. Her ad-
mirers will like this book. and 1t ought
to be vastly pleasing to the Christian
Scientists.

First Book by the Author oi
"The Upton Letters

The recent revival of interest In THE
Upton Letters has caused a demand
for the first book by their author, Ar
thur Christopher Benson. This book,
Memoirs of Arthur Hamilton" pub
lished in 1886, was. like the rest of
Benson's prose works, issued anony-
mously. At the time the book caused
much speculation, being for a time con-
sidered a genuine book of Memoirs
edited by christopher Carr" whose
name was signed to the dedication 1t
soon went out of print and the few
who knew of it found it difficult to
obtain. 1t has remained practically un-
known and almost forgotten for twen-
ty-one years.
The story, or, rather, study, is OF q
reflective temperament and is very
carefully written. but Is so different
from what the popular taste demands

For all the march of science and for
sIl the progress of mankind in the arts
OF peace the domestic problem that
looms large in every American kitchen
shows no sign Of solution. 1t may be
IL q trihe compared with the eco

to the housewife it is the most tnsis-

Comes now Mrs. Florence Morse
Kingsley with a novel on The subject

Dentistry, or anything concerned
with the extraction of the human
TOOTH has always been regarded as
theme for grim or farcical humor. Not
so many years ago dentists the world
over were a class "subdued to that
they worked in" Their business was
destruction and extraction, and the
benefcent science of constructive and
preventative dentistry was left in the
hands of a few pioneers. To the vast
relief of humanity at large, the dentist
and his profession have now been rails
ed to the level of Aesculapius and his
art contamination celebrated on
Saturday by a jubilee dinner of the
Chronological society. The society has
been asked to become an integral
part of the Academy of Medicine, and
the offer was taken by the president.
Mr. Lloyd Williams, as a high honor
1t was a very proper suggestion, but is
in no sense an act of condescension.
Dentistry indeed, had advanced pro-
portionately more rapidly than medi-
cine, and even perhaps more than sur
gerry; and doctors are only just begin
ming TO understand how large a part
teeth play in the general health of the
community. The japanese have at
tributed a large share in their Won
derful bill of health during the war to
the insistence on the care of the teeth.
On the other hand, lamentably large
proportion of recruits in England have
to be rejected on the score of bad
teeth; and our new medical inspectors

NOTES FROM THE LEGISLATURE

The statesmen and politicians are
now guessing that the session of the
legislature will end about a week from
today.
G. A Swallow, Of Jefferson county,
the sergeant-at-arms of the senate,
was presented yesterday with a gold
watch and locket by the employees OF
the senate. The presentation speech
was made by Senator T. A. Eoftzger
of Harper. It was rugged up to give
Swallow the usual scoiding for mfScon-
duct and wind up by handing him the
watch, but the thing was so much like
the similar affair in the house that 1t
ala not scare Swallow a bit. He made
a brief speech of thanks to the senate
and it's employees.
1t is expected that the report Of the
Hoplxins-Leach-Mc investigator
committee will be completed today.
T NJ Davis who brought the charges,
may file a minority statement He does
not think the report Is severe enough
There will not be much trouble about
the general appropriation bills for the
state house employees this year. thanks
to the salary bill passed in 1905 which
fixes all the salaries of state house peo-
pie.
When Gen. Hugh Cameron read his
proclamation concerning his visit to
ex-senator Ross in the house of rep
resentatives, Fisher of Chautauqua,
the youngest member, mace the TO-
lowing motion which was carried un-
animously: Il move that the house Of
representative of the state of Kansas
extend its good will and best wishes
to General Hugh Cameron in the jour
ney he is about to make" 1t was on
motion of Senator Sinons that Gen.
Cameron was invited to address the
senate.
