ART OF DENTISTRY.
II Was Praeticed by the Aneients
Thousands Of Years Ago.

1t will surprise many persons to
learn that false teeth, gold caps and
filings and dental bridges are by
no means modern creations. Six
thousand Years ago and probably
long before the dawn of Greek civ
ilization the skill of the dentist had
reached high degree of perfection.
Cicero in his treatise ''De Natura
Dcorun!" ascribes the invention of
tooth drawing to Aesculapius, third
Of that name. The first mention of
dentistry, according to the British
Medical Journal, is found in Hip
pocrates, who in several parts Of
his writings has good deal to say
about toothache. From the Phoe-
nicians the art found its way to the
Etruscans. At the international
congress held in Rome in 1900 Pro-
fessor Guerini exhibited several
specimens of dental art which prov
ed that something very much akin
to bridge work was practiced in an,
ciert Italy so efficiently tina it has
lasted thirty centuries.
Artificial crowns have also been
found in Etruscan tombs. Artif-
cial dentures 90 back to a remote
antiquity. DR.. Deneffe states that
in the museum of the University OF
Ghent there is a set of artificial
teeth found in a tomb at Orvieto
with jewels and Etruscan vases. He
gives their date as from FIVE to six
thousand years before Christ.
& In a collection Of antique surgical
apparatus made by DR.. Lambros
there is an artificial denture found
in q tomb at Tanagrs, near Thebes,
which is believed to belong to the
third or fourth century before the
Christian era. Teeth stopped with
gold have been found in Greek
tombs.. In the temple Of Apollo at
Delphi there was, according to Era.
sistratus, q nephew Of Aristotle and
physician to Seleucus Nicator. king
Of Syria, 354 B. c., leaden instru-
ment which was used in the e1trac-
ton Of teeth. Obviously an instru-
ment Of lead could have been used
only for loose teeth.
In the laws of the twelve tables
made by the Roman decemvirs in
450 B. C. it was expressly forbidden
to bury or burn gold with dead bod.
les except when used for wiring the
teeth. In the construction of false
teeth recourse was had by the an
cients to bone and horn. Some
times human teeth we're employed.
Benzoni found in some mummies
artificial teeth made Of sycamore.
In the first century of our era false
teeth were very common among the
Romans.
Dentistry shared in the decay Of
the arts during the middle ages,
and We read that when st. Louis
died in 1870, although he was only
ffty-fve, he had but one tooth in
the upper jaw. French surgeons,
notably Ambrose Pare, took lead
ing part in the revival Of dentistry.
Louis XIV.'s dentist used only in
struments of gold in operating on
the teeth of his august patient
From the time of Pare onward the
highest dentistry was in the hands
of surgeons, extraction being left to
BARRIERS and quacks.

The man who had purchased some
currant buns at bakery was dis

Clever Thouuht,

When certain country storekeeper, who was also the postmaster of the borough. began the transaction of busi- ness one morning about year ago he found that the safe in which were kept the postage stamps had been robbed during the night and promptly reported the matter to the proper authorities. The latter decided. after an investiga- tion. that restitution should be made for the stolen stamps, but that the ex- pense of repairing the damage to the safe would have to be borne by the storekeeper, which was accordingly done.
 Some time later a second robbery was committed and reported. as before, as the result. of which there was an- other investigation, which disclosed the fact that the stamps had been ab- stracted on this occasion without any violence to the safe
 But how was it done?" asked the inspector somewhat puzzled. he safe does not seem to be injured at all.
 .'I made up my mind l would not be caught again." replied the postmaster slyly. "I left it open"

LIFE IS A SCHOOL

Under what similitude will you lker human life?
 A pleasure garden?
 Or prison housei
 Some say this life is penitentiary where we are punished. Life is thick iy strewn with therns." said one pessi mist. aud l know no way save 10 pass quickly through them" These persons are stoics.
 Others view life as a garden of gay ety. They are epicufeans. Eat. drink and be merry" is the gonfalon of these. A short life and merry one. say these sybarites.
 The stoic Is wrong. Life is not thick ly strewn with thorns. It Is strewn with roses The thorns are incidental The epicurean is also wrong. He that seeks pleasure for pleasures sake will ind only satiety.
 What. then. is it?
 HUMAN LIFE IS A SCHOOL.
 It begins in the mothers arms and ends only on the great graduation day It has its reeesses. intermissions and vacations. but the school goes on. It's teachers are named EXPERIENCE.
 Sometimes the lessons are hard and the tears fall on the page Of the text book. Sometimes they are pleasant as well as profitable.
 But these lessons MUST BE LEARNED
 Each must learn them for himself. man can bequeath money or advice to his boy. but he cannot bequeath his experience. The boy must go to school as did the father before him and as ali the fathers before him did
 The student In life's school never gets too old to learn. When he quits learning he begins to die. How puerile te say ones education Is finished" at college!
 The school of f.life has It's shirkers.
 If one becomes 8 TRU ANT he must expect a sharp reprimand- If he de liberateiy disobeys the rules Of the school he may expect punishment else the school would be anarchy. Con trarywIse. the scholar who applies him. self will be rewarded
 Then hurrah for OUR SCHOOL
 When recess comes let us laugh and play. and, as Roosevelt says. play hard" When it Is time for study Tel us get down 10 our lessons.
 And on the great commencement day. when the GREAT TEACHER shall hand to all of us our diplomas. may there be written on them, Well done"
