How the Japs Pull Teeth.

The japanese dentist does not
frighten his patient with an array
of steel instruments. All his op
erations in tooth drawing are per-
formed by the forefnger and thumb
of one hand. The skill necessary
to do this is acquired only after
long practice, but when once it is
obtained the operator is able to ex-
tract half a dozen teeth in about
thirty seconds without once remoy-
ing his fingers from the patients
mouth, says Home Notes. The den
lists education commences with the
pulling out of pegs which have been
pressed into soft wood. 1t ends
with the drawing of hard pegs which
have been driven into an oak plank
with a mallet.

AFRICAN NEGROES.
These unsohooIsd Natives Take spseIai
Care Of Their Teeth.

These unsehoolsd Natives Take epseIai
Care Of Their Teeth.
The whiteness and beauty of the
teeth Of the African negroes have,
through a mistaken idea, been gen.
orally ascribed to the food which
they eat and to favorable climatic
conditions. But according to a Ger
man medical journal, the Muen-
chener Medizinische Wochenschrift,
these unsehooled natives take spe-
fial care of the teeth and are ia
miliar with many remedies for the
treatment of dental diseases. 60
From the observations of oflicials
in German colonies it appears that
the natives exercise more care in
preserving the teeth than do most
Europeans. They may owe the pos
session of sound teeth of ivory
whiteness partly to the influence Of
environment and habits, but in ad-
dition they employ many herbs,
barks and juices as prophylactic and
curative agents.
Thus in Negombo it is customary
when a child has finished teething
to rinse the mouth with an infusion
of the leaves of a native tree with
the object of tightening the teeth.
The action of the infusion is prob
ably due to the presence of styptic
constituent in the leaves which
causes the gums to shrink. The ma
tives living near the source of the
Nile employ the roots Of legumi-
nous plant, Dalbergia melanoxylon,
to relieve toothache, while the ma
tiyes to the west of the source Of
the same river use an infusion Of
the seeds of kasso, a climbing vine,
for the same purpose.
1t is interesting to notice that the
use of the toothbrush is not re-
stricted to the so called civilized
peoples. The African negroes fash
ion toothbrushes out of the wood
of species of adansonia and other
trees. In this respect the natives
probably have an advantage over
those who use an ordinary bristle
toothbrush, which is frequently
used for six months or even longer,
indeed until it becomes too offensive
to be tolerated longer. The sticks
of wood such as the natives employ
are, on the other hand, easy to
make and cost nothing, and they
are probably used for only short
time. And they possess the addi-
tional advantage of offering less OPP
portunity for particles of food and
other debris to be retained mechan-
ically than is the case with a bris
tie brush.

A Question of Names.

On one occasion a bishop who
prided himself on never forgetting
either the name or face of any cler-
gyman in his diocese happened to
betrayeling somewhere by rail when
at a certain station a clergyman got
into the same carriage id which the
bishop was.
The bishop recognized the mans
face, but could not remember has
name, and, not wishing to acknowl-
edge his forgetfulness, leaned for
ward and, with a charming smile,
said:
Excuse me for forgetting, but
how dc you spell your name?"

Tales of Celebrities,

In the Duke of ArglPS "Mes-
sages From the Past" the author
presents this picture of Tennyson
declaiming his verses: "He would
take us into the very center Of q
large field at Freshwater, in the Isle
of Wight, to be sure that he could
not be overheard by any one lurk-
ing in the hedges, before he would
stand and declaim in a deep, run
ming bass voice any piece on which
he was at work at the time or one
that had been specially asked for.
l remember his thus declaiming the
whole Of his poem of 'Boadicea'
with hardly pause for breath"
In the same volume appears an
anecdote of Prince Bismarck at the
Berlin conference: DAT dinner the
prince drank only beer, saying that
he used to drink wine, and too much
of it, but that now he could not
stand anything stronger than beer.
In obedience to Princess Bismarck
he made a good dinner, but not
enough Of it in her opinion, and
when she wanted him to take more
he turned to me and said the whole
object in life of Pomeranian haus-
frau was to ruin her husbands stom-
acb."

Queer Eyes.

Nature makes some strange pro
visions for fish that have to feel OF
see their way at great depths. Deep
soundings in the Caribbean sea
bring up really uncanny specimens
of this kind. Among them is a
fish that has two convex lenses IN
place of eyes. These lenses are very
bright, of a golden hue and CLEAN
in the sunlight. Another fish, a
large one, has eyes that grow on
stems sticking out several inches
from the head. Another has an
eye on stem about half a yard
long. The stem is flexible and may
be waved in any direction. Some OF
the. Caribbean sea fishes have eyes
that shine like lanterns.

The Honor Appreciated,

Some years ago when Head Con-

ton, Woodmen of the World, was
travelling through the south the
train stopped for some time in a
small town, and Mr.. Boak alighted
to make purchase. The storekeep-
er could not make the correct
change for the bill which was pre-
sented, so Mr.. Boak started in
search of some one who could. Sit
ting beside the door, whiting a
stick, was an old darby.
'Tncle," said Mr.. Boak, "can you
change ten dollar bill?"
The old fellow looked up in sur
prise. Then he touched his cap and
replied, "Deed an All can't, boss,
but All 'preciates de honor, jest de

A YOUTHFUL HERO.
How Major croghan Won Fame In the
War Of 1912.

Only a few names escape oblivion,
but Aug. 2, 1918, insured lasting
fame for Major George Croghan.
Ninety-three years later, on Aug. 2,
1906, the remains of this youthful
hero were reinterred on the site of
his great victory.
During the war of 1912 Croghan,
4 handsome, spirited Kentuckian,
was sent by General Harrison to
take command of a poor little stock
Rde, Fort Stephenson, at Lower
Sandusky, now Fremont, 0. The
place was important only because
it guarded the approach to Harri-
sons headquarters and stores up
the Sandusky river
On the morning of Aug. l Gen
eral Proctor, the British COM
mander, with 500 regulars, veteran
troops who had served under We'll
lington on the peninsula, sailed up
the river in gunboats of Commodore
Barclays fleet and landed cannon
and howitzers, with which they be-
gan to lombard the fort. Mean
while Tecumseh, with 700 Indians,
swarmed through the woods and be-
gan the attack from the opposite
side. To one of a less sanguine
temperament or of less courage than
the young commander the situation
must have seemed hopeless. But
Croghan not only showed confidence
himself, but inspired it in those un-
der him. 49,
Croghan had 100 men and one
small cannon, which he moved
about from place to place to induce
the belief that he had several guns.
Late in the afternoon of the I'd the
enemy made a united assault. So
valiantly and effectively was it re-
pulsed that the whole British and
Indian force made a precipitate re-
treat into Canada.
at will not be the least of Gen
eral Proctor's notifications" wrote
Harrison, "to know that he has been
baffled by youth who has just pass
ed his twenty-frst year. He is,
however, a hero worthy Of his gal
liant uncle, General George Rogers
Clark"
Croghan himself wrote just be-
fore the battle; "The enemy are not
far distant. l expect an attack. l
will defend this post to the last ex-
tremity. l have just sent away the
women and children with the sick
ofsthe garrison, that I may be able
to act without incumbrance Be
satisfied / shall, hope, do my duty.
The example set me by my Revolu-
tionary kindred is before me. Let
me die rather than prove unworthy
of'their name"
The battle of Fort Stephenson
was the first really brilliant effort
of the war of 1912. General Sher-
man said it was "the necessary pre-
cursor to Perry's victory on the lake
and Harrison's triumphant victory
at the Thames, which assured to
our immediate ancestors the mas
terry of the great west, and from
that day to this the west has been
the bulwark of the nation"
For his exploit Croghan was bre-
vetted lieutenant colonel by the
president of the United States, and
congress awarded him a gold medal.

carbonie Acid Springs.

In the Auvergne region of France
a large amount of carbonic acid gas
comes from the soil and is one of
the last traces of the former vol
canic activity of this region. The
springs that yield the gas are found
generally in the assures of the
ground which allow the water to
rise. One Of the Montpensier springs
has become known as the poisoned
spring" Animals which descend to
the cavity to drink are soon asphyx-
lated by the gas which is given off
by the water and accumulates here.
Bodies of birds, rabbits, dogs, sheep
and other animals are found, and
even persons have narrowly escaped.
Vegetation is also affected by an
overdose of the gas. Spots can be
seen running in a line across the
fields, where the plants have suf-
fered from gas coming up through
the assures of the ground at differ.
ent points. Soundings show the
presence of a great quantity of gas,
and it is usually in very pure state.

A QUEER PEOPLE.
Manners and Customs Of the Hairy
Anus Of Yszo.

Manners and Customs Of the Hairy
Anus Of Yszo.
Among the least known people OF
the world today are the hairy Anus
Of the island of Yezo. A traveller
says of them: "rhe men grow great
boards, of which they are excessively
proud, and their bodies are thickly
covered with hair, almost ike mem
bers Of the monkey tribe. The wo-
men grow no hair on their faces,
but seem to find a solace for this
imaginary defect in tattooing mus
.taches on their lips and often prim-
tive. -designs on their hands and
arms and also across their fore
heads. Young unmarried women
have very little tattooing On them,
but once q woman is married her
husband seems to take a pride in
decorating his bride with repre-
sensations of hirsute adornment.
The modus operandi is one which
requires considerable fortitude on
the part of the patient, since the
crudest form Of tattooing is adopt
ed. This consists of making num-
Der of missions in the skin with the
point of a knife. A characteristic
of the Ainu race is the color of their
skin, which is of a deep bronze or
copper color, and in nowise resem-
bles any other of the oriental races,
but is more like that of the Ameri-
can Indians.
"The Anus have no records, writ
ten or otherwise, of their former
history nor of how and whence they
came to inhabit the island Of Yezo.
Legends, however, exist among GER
tain of the Anus to the effect that
many years ago Yezo was inhabited
by race of diminutive people who
were conquered and apparently ex-
terminated by the Anus. These
people were called by the Anus
Koro-pok-kuru, or pit jewellers, ow-
ing to their habit of living in huts
constructed over a form of rectan-
gular, circular or oval shaped pit,
many traces of which are still found
in Yezo and the Kurile islands. A
few years ago the present writer
also discovered on the Boring sea-
coast of Alaska some perfect re-
mains Of a pit dwellers' village,
which is quite unlike any settle
ments made today by the Eskimo or
Aleut natives of Alaska.
"The Anus claim that at some
remote period they we're themselves
the inhabitants of some far north
ern country, and as evidence of this
they cite their hairy bodies. They
say, why, if we did not come from
a cold country, should we need to
have skins like a bear?' 1t is pos
sible that they did migrate south
ward from the shores of the Boring
sea either by the way of the Aleu-
tan islands or along the coasts of
Kamchatka and the Kuriles.
"Like certain other northern
races, the Anus have no religion.
They have no knowledge of gu
preme being and no belief in flu
ture state. Mr.. Lander, who queS-
toned many natives on various sub
jects, was once scornfully told by
one of them that the Anus are
taught nothing and they know moth
ing.' This exactly describes the
state in which they live, Chicago
