Great Singers Generosity.

Among the stories told by Arthur

Is one Of her stay In Venice. She was
to give six performances at one thea
ter there. when Gallo, the director Of
the Teatro Emeronito, being on the
eve Of bankruptcy, begged her to give
two at his theater, promising her
e120 for each. She consented, but
when Gallo went to take her the sec
ond payment, he entered saying:
Here is the sum We agreed on"
what sum-" she replied with an air
Of surprise. "Oh, the G120 for yester.
days performance" II don't want
your money. Take 1t all away and
spend 1t on your children. You shall
kiss me and we'll be quits" Did the
good fellow believe his ears? His two
performances had brought him in
9400 in round figures. had saved him
from bankruptcy and to crown his
Joy. he kissed Nine. Malfbran. This
magnanimity to poor Venetian was
received publicly by frantic ovation.

SAMPLES CT ANCIENT WORK IN
MUSEUMS.
Most interesting Because the Oldest
Is Specimen OF Bridge-Work Which
Was Found in a Phoenician
Tomb at Sidon.

Dentistry, though considered ne
cullarly modern has been found high
ly developed in the past. Actual speci
mems OF ancient dentistry may be
seen in various European museums
The most interesting of these speci
mems, because the Oldest, is a Phoeni
clan example of bridge-work found in
tomb at SidOn. The specimen is
now in the Louvre at Paris and con
slsts OF part of the upper jaw OF
woman with the teeth united by
gold wire. Two of them are trans
planted teeth fastened in by gold wire
In the museum of COrneto (Which was
the ancient Tarquinii, the capital OF
the Etruscan federation) may be seen
number Of marvellous specimens of
dental work of the sixth and seventh
centuries before Christ. They consist
mainly of bridge-work done by riveted
bands of metal. One of them support
ed three artificial teeth, two of these
artificial teeth being made out of
single OK tooth grooved to initiate
rather closely two human teeth. In
the laws Of the Twelve Tables, writ
ten IN Rome $50 B. c., while it is ex
pressly forbidden to bury gold orna
ments with bodies, a special excep
tion is made for gold with which the
teeth may perchance be bound to-
gether. The museum of Pope Julius
at Rome contains a gold cap made of
two small plates of gold stamped out
TO represent rather closely a middle
lower incisor and these two pieces
soldered together to form the crown
of tooth.
Inc satiric poets Of Rome, especial
iy Martial, referred frequently to arti.
nclal teeth. Martial speaks of an old
woman who was 80 scared that as
she ran away her teeth fell out. In one
eplgram he answers the question why
one woman's teeth are dark, while an.
others are white, though both are OF
tae same age, by saying that one OF
them buys her teeth, while the other
has her own. The Romans had
number of different kinds of denti
frlces, and took great care of thei,
teeth. Galen describes a form of pas
tile containing aromatics and opiuu
that might be used as a toothach<
gum. The filling of teeth with variou,
Kinds OF metal is described by CELSIUS
though the first sure reference to gold
nlllng does not occur until Sbout the
middle of the fifteenth century. The
transplantation of teeth, especially
from the mouths OF slaves into those
OF their mistresses, seems to have
been practiced rather commonly in the
early days of the Roman empire

IMPATIENCE CALLED A SIN
Worse Than Folly, Inasmuch as IL
Does Harm to Others Besides the
Unfortunate Possessor,

The word patience is not mentioned
In the Old Testament It seems to
have come with the Christian deligion
and to have taken its place among the
virtues after Christ came. This is
strange, for inpatience is one of the
implacable enemies of mans peace
and joy. 1t Is the easiest sin there Is.
1t Is always ready to break out In re-
volt against the peace and dignity of
the individual.
1t is mighty unfortunate for a per-
son to be easily afflicted with impa-
tience. 1t is a real suffering. 1t Is q
bad spirit that grabs a man an6
squeezes the reason out of him. A
man is sort Of crazy who is impatient
He let's 90 Of faith In God and the log.
&c OF events and gets mad at both.
1t does no good to anybody, and nine
cases out Of ten a man Is ashamed of
himself when he lets this sin get the
better of him.
AS proof that impatience Is down
right wickedness, notice how q victim
of 1t will swear, insult his friend,
snub his wife, kick the cat, slam down
whatever is In his hand, and make
everybody around him as miserable as
himself. Such are the evil assQcia-
tions OF impatience.-Ohio State Jour-

DESCENDED FROM OLD ADAM
s'ue-Eyed, innocent-looking Young,
ster by No Means the Saint He
Seemed to Be.

A little incident came up in dis
cussing boys at the Y. NJ. G. A. the
other night that brought forth a story
from man who had once been q d.
rector of the Boys club.
Il was standing in the door of the
Boys club" said he, "extolling the
perfect disposition of little blue
eyed youngster who was sitting In q
window few feet away from us. The
woman member of the board of direc-
tors to whom I was doing the ex-
tolling had remarked how nice the
little boy seemed. such placid face,
such pretty blue eyes. She was sure
he had lovely disposition l agreed
with her perfectly. And might have
thought so yet, but for rude awak-
ening. A small boy leaned out of
the window above the model young
ster. He had a medicine ball-one OF
those big leather bags, much like q
round football, except that 1t was
stuffed with cotton. The ball had lost
most of its filling. Little Algernon or
Jimmie, Or whatever his name hap
pened to be. leaned out the window,
and taking deadly aim. he dropped the
dilapidated ball square on little Blue
Eyes head. The effect was volcanic.
Little Boy Blue poured out 4 string of
street English that would have shamed
professional.
Say. you mutt, I'm after you!
When | get up there I'll tear your
bloomin' block off.' Then followed q
stream OF undiluted profanity. l
turned sadly to the board member.

SECRET BURIED IN A TOMB
"Jerome," N,va Scotia's Legless Man
OF Mystery, Silent for Hall

Within a few hundred yards of
beach where fifty-one years ago two
fishermen found him with his legs
amputated. "Gerome."' Nova Scotia's
man OF mystery, died a few days ago,
silent to the end about his identity.
Although he undoubtedly possessed
the power of speech, "Gerome" had
not conversed with anyone in the half
century he had been cared 'or by
Didier Comeau and the latters sons
and daughters. During all Of this time
Gerome" had remained a mystery to

known as returned Acadians." being

was discovered to BIS a man. His legs
had been freshly amputated and there
was Jug Of water and a package of
ships biscuits beside the man. who
had suffered greatly from exposure.
Wrapped in blankets and taken to
the Comeau house, where, ever since
he had been welcome member of
the household, the man was finally
revived by physician. In half doz-
en- languages the man was asked:
What Is your name" To this
question. in italian, propounded by the
elder Comeau. the man made NUT

that. however, did "Gerome" utter q

asked where he came from. Trieste"

unguarded moment.
physicians from all parts of the

that have elapsed since "Gerome" was

mans case. Most of them have agreed
that he might have spoken had be de-
