CONNECTS AS DENTISTS

A few months ago the New York State Dental society took upon itself to ascertain the dental conditions existing in the state charitable and penal insti- tutfons Twenty-Five institutions were consulted, the committee asking wheth CT the institution had a staff dentist; how he was appointed how much time he gave; what his compensation was; the class of dental work done; what equipment was furnished by the state; what percentage of inmates were able to pay for dental work, etc.
 It was found," writes Alice Walrath in the Survey, that of these twenty five institutions onlyt eight had dentists on their staffs, and that there was no uniformity in the method of their ap pointment. Sometimes they were ap- pointed by the superintendent of the in- stitution, sometimes by board of man. agers, while in three instances convicts were taken for the purpose. For the ap- proXimate 19,000 individuals in the 25 institutions 1t was estimated that less work was performed than five dentists would accomplish working eight hours day and % days a month-that for an average of $500 inmates there was only one dentist employed. For this service the state does not pay more than $25v per month. and the class of work done consists principally of extracting, plas- tie filling and cleaning.
 "The answers showed that the state provides a fully equipped dental office in only five of the institutions, while in 12. chairs and foot engines are provided. Several have nothing more than eX- tracting forceps.
 Tt is evident that much remains to be done in order to secure the comfort and improvement of those who inhabit these institutions. Is 1t not the duty of the state to give more serious thought to the welfare of these individuals?"

RAILWAY GARDENING

From the survey
 Representatives of more than 20 rail- roads were present at the fifth annual meeting of the Railway Gardening as- sociation held in Chicago a few weeks ago. The object of the association is to consider a more thorough and sys- tematic extension of railway gardening, to improve the appearance of all rail road way lands, especially those adja- cent to passenger stations; to encour- age the beautifying of grounds adjoin- ing railroad property; to eliminate whatever unnecessarily dctracts .o.n the beauty of the landscape as seen from the car window; to stimulate uni- versal interest in presenting more at tractive appearances to the travelling public.' It is encouraging to find that the list of papers, prepared by men wno represented the Pennsylvania, Michigan Central Illinois Central Baltimore ana Ohio Canadian Pacific and the Jersey Central railroads, included such practi- cal topics as the following: Fences ana Hedges; Lawns The Treatment of Cuts and Banks; Fertilizers; and, Should Railroads Purchase or Grow Their Starlx2

appeal to President Taft unnecessary.
 The Age-Herald has no desire to prejudge the case. Before it is con- cluded the report that an unwritten law exists in the army barring out of it all Jews should be thoroughly investigated. Such a law would be un-American, unjust and unconstitu- tional. Gen. Leonard Woods atten- tion should be called to this alleged unwritten law. He has courage and a high sense of duty, and it is be- lieved that he will not permit any clique to set up an unwritten law in the army that all assist in support ing-an unwritten law that would do injustice to a vast number of Ameri- can citizens.
 The case of Cadet Israel should not be dropped until the subject is ex- hausted either by the war depart ment or by the President or. by Con- gress. It is an issue that should be threshed out until the whole truth stands disclosed.

Agricultural Progress

'.The agricultural progress of the south is being commented on most ia- vorably in my section of the country said r. II. Farnsworth of Illinois.
 Ten years ago the south was stili known to most northern people only as a great cotton country. It was under stood that in the cotton states cotton was the only cash crop. l find now that while cotton is the principal cash crop, hay is being raised on a large scale, and that corn is also getting to be quite an important crop. The south has come forward rapidly as a trucking section.
 Ut seems that within the past two years the southern farmers have walked up fully to the importance of raising their own corn and hay, and enough pork to supply farm hands. At the rate agriculture is developing the south will soon have corn and hay to sell. Cot ton will then be the surplus crop. When this comes to pass the south will fairly roll in wealth.
 T am engaged in the mercantile busi- ness, and l think it safe to say that business conditions in the south are better than they are in the west, all though western conditions are not bad. In Texas, where l spent two weeks in October. business conditions are very fine. l found genuine prosperity in most of the towns. large and small"

"sINGING SANDS"

From Harpers Weekly, .t
 The most notable of those curious freaks of nature, singing sands" are those of the Island of Kauai. When small quantity of these is clapped between the hands it is said 10 give forth a sound so slrill as to resemble hoot. Put into a bag and violently shaken, these sands emit a noise strangely like the bark of q dog
 On the beach at Manchester, Mass, are the co called singing sands.' but theso are outdone by the Hawaiian sands men toned. Similar sands also occur in the Colorado desert, where also are to be found those curious shifting sands that continually travel hither and thither over the vast plain of clay. Their movements are, of course induced by the winds, and when a strong breeze is blowing, the siicious particles of which they are com- posed give out an audible humming or singing. Under the microscope these sands show an almost perfectly spher- ioal form, so that they roll upon each other at the slightest impulse, q circum- stance that also accounts for the rapid ity with which the sands travel over the desert
 One theo..y advanced with respect to the .ssinging'' of these sands IS that it Is due to an exceedingly thin film of gas that covers the grains. Gathered and removed from the desert, it is said that the sands lose their vocal properties.

Still Studying the Maine

The officers in charge of the Maine claim to have found one plate of the outer hull of the ship which was blown upward, thus showing external pressure. This is supposed to con- firm the theory of an external explo- sion-of a Spanish mine in short. Only one such plate has been found, and one plate may not be considered conclusive by the people of Spain. The Cubans may be willing, however, to accept the evidence of a single plate and America certainly will.
 The truth is, the exploration of the bottom of the Maine has nqt thus far been as convincing as people had been led to believe it would be- The mys- tery is destined, perhaps, to remain a mystery to the end of time, and when the wreck is lifted and finally lowed out to sea the question will be dropped and the country will cease to remember the Maine.

NEW SOURCE OF DIvINA CoMMEDA

Arthur Bennington, in the November
 number of the North American Review. Students of Dante are awaiting eagerly and not without trepidation two volumes which Professor Paolo Amaducci of Ro- vigo, promises to publish this fall, and of which there has already been printed in 1 Italy a synopsis taken from long eom- munication addressed by the author 10 the Regia Deputazione di Storia Patria for the province of Romagna at it's ses- sion in Bologna on March 26. We are awaiting it with trepidation, because Pro- lessor Amaducci asserts that as a result of it all the commentaries on the 'Divina Commedia" will have to be revised, being ''in large part either insufficient or erron- eous or vain," their authors not having recognized the source from which Dante derived the scheme of his triology and which is the real key to its allegorical in- depreciation.
 This source, according to Professor Amaducci, was opusculum XXXII of St. Peter Damian, entitled: "De quadragesi- ma ct quadraginta duabus Hebraeorum mansionibus," in which the saint inter- prets allegorically the forty-two stopping places of the Children of Israel in their journey to the Promised Land.
 Professor Amaducci's theory may be stated briefly as follows; That Dante's journey, from its beginning in the dark wood to it's end in the Empyrean, is an image of the journey of the Children of Israel, from the exodus from Egypt to the arrival at the Promised Land; that the hundred cantos of the "Divina Com- meda,7 to be properly understood, must be divided into 42 marches and stopping places c'mansions'D as was the journey of the Israelites; each march and resting place having the same allegorical mean- ing that St. Peter Damian attributes to those of the Israelites

making a splendid hit. On Saturday afternoon Goodwin, will appear In ihe mirti provoking comedy When l was Twenty-One.' This is the play in which he is said to have gained his first recoS- milton as a high comedian in contra-dis- tinction to a farce comedian. The De- troit Free Press has this to say Of the comedian in question::
 The late Sir Henry Irving once saio to q group of friends that he regarded MT. Goodwin as the ablest of the American actors he knew. There is well ma- tured conviction in the public mind tnat in all round adaptability to the art of lm- rsonation-acting-our comedian stands alone among his contemporaries who speak the English language The views of this newspaper on that point have many times been set forth. In its issue of March F, 1902, appeared this eN- pression:
 "'"Mr. Goodwn's Richard Carewe is an example of the Horacian theory or the art that conceals art-never strenu- GUS. but dramatically effective, and most effective in it's minor tones. The acting of this comedian, when he sets himself with earnestness to the work before him is of tho kind that entities him to claim rank with the great names of the stages golden period.

A Musical Treat

Everybody who keeps in touch with the musical world is remarking Bir- mingham's increasing interest in high class music" said a club man.
 Within the past two years all first rate attractions have drawn large crowds Last season brought us many fine musical artists, and during the present season even a larger number of artists will be heard. We have al ready had several beautiful concerts, and when the season is over it will be recorded as the best in the musical his tory of Birmingham
 Next Sunday afternoon the Pasmore Trio will make its first appearance in this city. The ladies composing this famous organization will gve concert at the Jefferson theatre, and large and appreciative audience Is assured. have been looking over the Pasmore programmes presented in other cities, and all of them are popular as well as artistic. It is said that no trio in this country or Europe has ever played the beautiful Tschaikowsky with such feel ing or such perfect ensemble as the Pasmores."

More Vetoes Are Coming

President Taft declared in speech during his recent tour that he would veto any tariff bill affecting indus tries which his tariff board had not investigated. This came in the shape of warning to Congress, which alone is authorized to pass tariff bills. As the Emory board proposes to re- port upon the wool and cotton sched- ules in December, and possibly upon the metals schedule before Congress adiourns, II schedules would be left that Congress must not touch unless, indeed, it desires to encounter sue cession of vetoes not unlike those of the special session.
 These threats of the President are no doubt made to satisfy the interests that are reaping great profits from present tariff rates. They are gath ering in untold millions from con- sumers, and they will no doubt put up a great fund to keep the President in power four years more. No mat ter how unpopular with consumers he may be, he holds the confidence of the tariff beneficiaries.
 The Age-Herald indulges the hope that Chairman Underwood will pay no attention to the Presidents threatened vetoes. Every schedule should be revised in the House, and a bill bearing it's revisions duly sent to the Senate. Those bills will constitute the true platform of the democratic party in the next presidential cam paign. Mr. Taft certainly misjudges the temper of the people and their knowledge of the vast sums unjustly taken from them by the scheme of protection for profits when he theat- ems Congress with a long series of vetoes. The consumers are studying the effects and methods of the pro- tective scheme, It is a scheme form ed primarily to exploit home con- sumers, and the more schedules that are revised the better will they be educated in this matter.
 It is hoped every schedule of the tariff will be brought down to a rev. enue basis while the tariff is in MT. Underwood's slillful and prudent hands, and then indeed will the peo- pie know what the present tariff takes from their pockets and why 1t takes it, and they will then know whether or no Oscar Underwood is the man they are looking for to serve them four years as President.

AWFUL PLEASURE OF JERSEYME,

From HarperS Weekly
 A New Jersey farmer opened the deer shooting season last week by killing two men with single discharge of his shot gun. He was an inexperienced hunter The papers say the woods in New Jersey were full that day (November D of mex perienced hunters, very many of them, astonishing to record, more or less drunk The connection between alcohol and deer shooting seems obscure. Evidently they don't belong together--though the farmer who shot the two men was entirely so- Der. The explanation is that the Jersey men make holiday of the opening of the deer shooting season; and that the alco- hol goes, not with the shooting, but with the holiday. They seldom take a holiday it seems, and when they do, they take it with all the trimmings. Triple -armored hearts they must have to go into the woods with rum bottles to hunt among droves of hunters armed with deadly weapons duly supplemented with more rum bottles! It is to lament at their ideas of pleasure, but hard working Jersey farmers don't get much practice in pleas ure taking, and are liable. no doubt to use very primitive methods when they do take 1t.

THE HUMOR OF SCOTLAND

"A friend of mine declares that he sus- poets the authenticity of any Scotch joke, unless there be corpse concealed in it somewhere writes Charles Johnston in the issue of Harpers Weekly for No vember H. For instance "Ye'u be q brither O the corp?' asked one occupant of mourning carriage as a we'll dressed stranger in black took his seat beside him. No replied the gloomy stranger, I'm no brither O the corp ''Weel, then, yell be his cousn?' No. Pm no that . No? Then yell be freend O the corp?'' "No that either" admitted the stranger.

UNNECESSARY EXERTIoN.

He was tall, he was lanky, and he was politely inebriated. He pulled solemnly at dead cigar as he boarded a crowd cd car at the corner. He leaned Imply against the railboard and gazed vacantly out into space over the heads of his fellow passengers. As the car jerlked forward he lurched backward and split himself between the rails. The conductor gathered him in and anchored him safe ly to window bar. He looked around him in a wrinkled perplexity and at last spoke. ''Clisson?" he asked of the small man O,l whose toes he was standing.
 NO, sir" was the reply.
 "Whee'-wheels broker was his next query.
 NO, sir" answered the little fellow Silence then.
 "Explosion?' came the next question.
 'No, sir" said the short one More si- lence.
 'Smatter then?' he queried petul- antiy.

Cadet Joseph Leon Israel

General Barry, superintendent of the military academy at West Point, has dismissed from it Cadet Joseph Leon Israel of Birmingham because of minor infractions of the regula- lions. All of his offenses were con- fessedly of minor character, none touching his integrity or honor--none being sufficient to base a courtmar- tial upon.
 Cadet Israel has taken an appeal to Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff, md the hope is that General Wood will sec that justice is done in this case. This would render further

SEEING THE ECU ATOR

From Harper's Weekly.
 A lady who was about to start on ! trip to the southern part of the world was ad- vsed to be sure to look for the equator. On board the vessel s:ie approached the captain and told him she would be greatly obliged if he would point out the equator to her. After a while he told her they were drawing near, and gave her the use of his telescope. Pulling hair out he held it in front of the telescope and said to the lady, There is the equator. Can you see it?''
 "Oh, yes, yes said she exctedly, and there's q camel on it..

Block Day EnYelOpes

The Ladies of Charity will collect this morning the envelopes left to be filled by those who desire to aid the free out of door clinic of St. Vincent S hospital. When the whistles are blown at 10 o'clock this morning the ladies of charity will call, hoping to get in the envelopes aid for the poor people who need medical examina- tion, prescription and treatment, and yet who are not sufficiently i'll to enter the charity wards of the hospital. In other words, there are patients in all parts of the city who need medicines and attention, who are unable to pay for them, and who need not and can not go to the hospital.
 These cases appeal for relief to the charity of all who have received block day envelopes. Whatever is put in the envelopes will be devoted to this phase of the charitable work conducted by the Sisters of Charity at St. Vincent's hospital. The block day system of envelopes will carry relief where relief is sorely needed by enabling the out of door clinic to answer all calls upon it. The ma chinery is ready and all that is lack ing is the money that would render it efficient.

Virginia Corn and the Silver Cur

Virginia's Corn and the Silver Cup
 l.. D. Clare, the Indiana corn king, has lost to w. H. Dorin the honor and the $1000 silver cup offered by the International Harvester company for the finest 30 ears of corn placed on exhibition. Mr. Clare had long captured the first prizes for fine corn, and Indiana did not yield first place until Mr Dorin of Glover, Halifax county, Virginia, appeared on the scene. Glover is located in the Roan- oke valley not very far from Dan- vile. MT. Dorin was formerly a Michigan farmer, but six years ago he became a Virginia farmer, having purchased a farm on the Southern railroad at Clover.
 He is a farmer who ploughs very deeply. He does not stop at 12 inches. He follows, however, the plans of the United States farm demonstration burean, believing them to be the most practical for success ful farming. He has made money ever since he became Virginia farm CT. and his corn exhibits arc pretty sure to win first prizes.
