Relative Pain of
The Different Methods

Before the use of chlorrform had be-
come so general as it is in our day,
some one advertised that he would draw
teeth painlessly. A patient was placed
in the chair. the instrument applied to
his tooth. with a wrench. followed by a
groan from the unpleasantly surprised
sufferer.
Stop" said the dentist. Compose
yourself. told you l would give you
no pain. but l only gave you that twinge
to show YOU Carter's operation"
Again the instrument was applied to
the tooth and another tug and another
roar.
Now. don't be impatient. That is Lo-
Gan's method" said the dentist.
Another application. another tug, an
other roar.
Now. pray. do be quiet, That is
Tate's way. I see very well that you do
not like it. and l am not surprised"
Ry this time the tooth hung by a
thread and. whipping it out. the opera
tor eXultantly exclaimed: That's my
mode Of extracting teeth. You are now
able to compare 1t with the operations
of Carter. Logan. and Tate"

What Bernhardt Really
Knows About Sculpture

Many times recently there has crept
into the newspapers reference to Nine.
Sarah Benhardt's skill in the sculptor's
art. BY some it has been highly eulo-
gized. This impression grew out of the
perfection of Nine Bernhardt's excel
lence as an actress. for, while the lady
cannot mold clay the way she wishes,
she can mold impression with an un-
surpassed mastery; therefore, when she
was called upon to take the part of a
sculptor in a play she amazed critics
and all her audience by what appeared
as marvellous technical skill in the art.
For what appeared a fOrmless lump
Of clay she, apparently, with deft fin
gers transformed into the head and
shoulder of a beautiful woman. This
she Old in full view of her audience,
who found new wonders in this ever
wonderful woman. Hence her repuIa-
ton as a sculptor.
1t would be unkind to disillusion those
who would prefer to dream of bound
less genius for the divine Sarah, but
what the lady really did was to remove
damp clay of the same color from a
bust that had already been modelled and
baked. We must still admire her skill
in doing it so well as to so thoroughly
deceive those who witnessed the trick.
The Washington times., 1911-08-14
What Man Is Worth
Worked Into Utilities

All of us remember the nursery
rhyme beginning, What are little boys
made OFF, Recently & European med
ical scientist undertook to decide,
chemically, what the average weight
man in normal condition would be
worth as practical raw" material were
he to be worked up into everyday COM
modities. He reports widely scat
tered assortment of utilities into which
this average man may be wrought.
This average man in health has the
material for thirteen pounds of can
dies, one pound of nails, carbon suffici-
ent for 800 pencils, binding for sixteen
octave books, 500 knife handles, twen-
ty-eight violin strings, twenty tea
spoonfuls salt and one pound Of loaf
sugar.
We have that individual, healthy,
good-sized man among us whom we
designate as mo good" Even this ex-
planation of his worth as a raw ma
terial for necessary products doesn't
change his value. Those processes
which would be necessary to these
lines Of manufacture probably would
bankrupt any plant equipped for "us-
ing him up."-Chicago Tribune.

BEASTS ARE KEEN
IN HUMAN WAYS
Telegraph Poles and Wires Avoided by Bears and Game
Birds, and They Seldom Meet With Mshaps-Have
Adjusted Themselves to Ways of Man.

! mon thing for the gallery of the light
to be half filled with dead and Grip
Piled birds which had down into the
light out of darkness. TodaI neither
the telegraph nor the lighthouse Is
slaughtering birds. They have learned
the ways of man too well. Which
lends interest to a story from Ger
man paper in telling how bears in
German forests learned to avoid the
telegraph wires and poles.
AS the writer explains, the installa-
tion of telegraph poles and wires
brought about the invariablC hum
ming which marks the pole as sound
post. 1t was taken for granted that
this buzzing sound attracted the
bears, through the sense of hearing,
to imagine that bees had stored crops
Of honey at the top Of the poles. They
began research work along the most
careful German lines, putting miles
of wires out of commission In the
early years Of the telegraphic inva-
sion. Cross arms of poles were brok-
en- and wires snapped everywhere.
Gradually, however, the bear in the
German forests grew to understand
the telegraph pole was a honeyed
joke. Today not even a baby bear,
following its forebears on the hunt,
even sniffs at a telegraph pole.-Chi-
cago Tribune.
