 There is, it has been said, no fixed standard of art criticism. What Is lauded today is discarded tomorrow, and even connoisseurs disagree be- wilderingly; but glancing back over the ages, it will be found that the dis cord has been caused by technical di- vergence and that in every land and among all peoples the truly beautiful has been generally recognized and cor rectly esteemed. No one questions to- day the beauty of the Greek temple or the charm of the BabylOnian pottery. It does not require trained eyes to rec ognize the merit of an oriental flower painting or to find delight in one of Whistler's nocturnes. The, fundamen- tals in each instance are the same rhythmical line, fair proportions and harmonious coloring. We have to be led ofttimes up the ascent of art, and there is much discussion concerning the byways, but once on the height all dissension ends, and we no longer need a guide.-Leila Mechlin in Century.

mics. Galen was the first physician to speak of treatment of troublesome teeth, and Ambrcise Pare, in his work on surgery in 1850, makes mention of the preservation of the teeth. It is only since the middle of the last cen tury, however, that dentistry has be- come branch of surgical science. Be 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 1889. In 1S45 Cincinnati boast ed of a similar institution, and in 1856 a dental school was erected at Phila- delphia.

The Toad and Its skin.

The toad sheds its skin at certain periods, the old one coming off and leaving a new one, which has been formed underneath, in it's stead. It does not give its cast off coat away to any poorer toad, and there are no toads dealing in second hand raiment Nel- ther does it leave its cast off jacket on the ground after the fashion of the shiftless snake. It swallows it's over coat at one mouthful, converting its stomach into a pOrtmanteau.

Terror Blanches Hair.

It has been repeatedly affirmed that Queen Marie Antoinette's auburn hair turned white in the days of the reign of terror, says the Caledonian, and an English surgeon named Parry states that just after the Indian mutiny he actually saw the jet black hair of a rebel Sepoy. who was under examina- tion and feared dreadful death. turn white in the course of half an hour. In the time of the commune in Paris the dark hair of Baron Alphonse de Rothschild was blanched in a few hours.

Crocodiles and the Cure.

One does not usually connect croce- diles with a health resort-rather the reverse-but the creatures are quite a feature of the IndiSn bathing place of Manghapir, about nine miles from Ka- rachi This town is a place of pilgrim age for pious Hindoos, but it is chiefly famous for the value of its waters in the cure of the dread scourge of lep- rosy The waters are hot, and more than 60 per cent of the sufferers who bathe there annually, it is said, are cured. The crocodiles are rather note worthy in that they live in the hot water, apparently suffering no incon- venience from it's temperature or me- dicinal Qualities.-Wide World Maga- zine.

A Gentleman of the old School.

Lady Dorothy Nevill in her reminis- cences tells story of her father. a gentleman of the old school, ''in man. keen shorts, with white stockings and a brass buttoned blue coat, with big collar, over beautifully embroidered waistcoat." But he swore, after the manner of the age "He was travelling at night on the continent alone in post chaise when the postboy, while passing through a forest, began to drive like a man anything but certain of his way. My fathers wrath soon rose, and the explosion of strong Ian guage which issued from the carriage so alarmed the driver that. murmuring, 'Je ne veux pas conduire le diable' q will not drive the deviD, he pulled up and. having expeditiOusly unfastened the traces made off with his horses at d gallop. My father, believe, passed the whole night alone in the woods"

Progress of Dentistry.

Though dentistry became science under the hand of Professor Richard Owen as late as 1889, there are eyi- denees that it was practiced in 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

the Pittsburg woman might possibly
claim the body as her son, Harry
Berry. 1t win be remembered that the
initials tattooed on the dead mans
arm were I'll. 3" However, Mrs.
Berry has not been heard from, and

the matter as another case OF mistak.
