No CHANGING the Log


On . certain ship the mate was too fond
Of the cup that cheers. The captain did
his utmost to break him Of this habit,
and, everything else failing, told him that
the next time he was drunk he would
write it in the log. For long time after
this the mate stopped drinking, but one
day he fell into his old habit. Thereupon
the captain wrote the following entry in
the log:
"August II, 10; 90 deg. north longi-
tude, 70 deg. west latitude. Mate Jones ia
drunk to-day"
The mate begged him to take this on,
saying that it would spoil his chances Of
ever being made captain Of ship. But
the captain said, TITS true, isn't lit"
Eyes; but -" replied the mate.
"Weli," said the captain, ''the record
stands"
A few days later the mate had to write
the entry. On looking over the log the
amazed captain saw this entry:
august Is, 10; so deg. north longi-
tude, 81 deg. west latitude. Capt. Smith
is sober to-day"
He sent for the mate and demanded
what he meant by such an entry, ordering
him to take it OF.
"weii,' said the mate. ''It's true, isn't
it?'
'Of course it's true!" roared the cap
tain.
"Then the record stands" replied the
mate.

Jap TOoth-Pulling.

The Japanese dentist does not frighten
his patient with an array OF steel instru-
ments. All his operations in toot draw
ing are performed by the forefinger and
thumb OF one hand. The skill necessary
to do this is acquired only after long prac-
tice, but when once it is obtained the OPP
orator is able to extract half dozen teeth
in about thirty seconds, without once re-
moving his fingers from the patients
mouth.
The dentists education commences with
the pulling out of pegs which have been
pressed into soft wood; it ends with the
drawing Of hard pegs which have been
driven into an oak plank with a mallet.
