JAPANESE DENTISTS.

Paris. Dec. pa newspaper here
presents to its readers an account of
the methods employed by the Jap
anese dentist, which although per-
haps not quite new, is of sufficient
interest to warrant its publication.
The dentist draws teeth with his
fingers without the aid of any insrru-
ments. He takes the head of the
patient in such way that the mouth
must remain open. Putting the
thumb and index finger into the pa
tents mouth the Jap draws five,
six, or seven teeth in a minute. as
the case may be, the patient during
this process being unable to close his
mouth. This remarkable powess in
extracting teeth is attributed to the
training the dentist undergoes in
early youth. To strengthen the fing-
ers for their later work the tyro
commences by practicing on nails
which are driven into plank on the
ground. He has to pull out the nails
without moving the board. At the
beginning of this nail pulling, soft
wood is used, and then harder wood
up to oak or something still harder.
An apprentice is not considered pro-
ficent in his art until he can draw
the nails from the hardest wood
without moving it.

That Charge Whole Course q
History.

The "Trent affair."" which came
OF 40 years ago-November 8, 1861
came very near being one Of the
things that change the whole course
Of history. The Confederate COM
missioners, Mason and Slidell, were
on their way from Havana to Eng
land on board the English mail
steamer Trent On the morning of
the eighth Of November Capt.
Charles Wilkes, in command of the
United States warship San Jacinto,
held up the Trent, forcibly took
from her the Confederate commits
sioners and delivered them up to the
United States authorities at Fort
ress Monroe.
Then it was that William H. Sew
ard began one of the astutest games
of diplomacy that the history Of the
world can show. With consummate
tact he managed to satisfy England
without the slightest jolt to his coun-
try's honor or pride. Returning the
commissioners to the British author
tiles as a Courtesy rather than as
a "duty, *,he got opt Of the difficulty
without scintilla of an apology
and without so much as an intima-
ion Of any confession Of wrong on

THAT HoRRlD LAssITUpE.

One of the curses of the age is tina
horrid feeling of lassitude that Sc
many of us suffer from, but pay
little heed to.

it is not natural to be drowsy, slug

Often the feeling is caused by q

nine or a change of air will over.
come it.
Frequently it is due to overdo-
ing; exhausted nerves is a recognized
cause of a heavy brain and 'draggy''
bones.
Probably the chief cause is a weak
stomach. Indigestion makes one
sluggish, so does overeating without
proper exercise.
The cures are normal living, plen-
ty of fresh air and sunlight, and
proper rest. 1t is decidedly danger
Gus to seek to overcome lassitude
with drugs or stimulants. The eff
feet is temporary and the reaction
bad.
