o. the complication recorded by Mark
Twain - inf1ammatory rheumatism
complicated with jumping toothache
but a great many persons with ul-
cerated teeth seem to suffer from
ST. Vitus' dance.
Even worse than an liberated
tooth, if possible, is the impacted wis
dom tooth, because nobody will be-
lieve it is half so bad as you pre-
tend. About one In six persons has
more or less neuralgia in either of
the three branches of the facial nerve
when cutting the wisdom teeth. Some
of the worst cases never cut the wis
dom teeth at all, but have all the
trouble just tie same. Often an in
veterate facial neuralgia is shown to
depend on an inverted, uninterrupted
wisdom tooth buried in the jawbone.

The fat brow and prominent jaw Of

The danger is that we ultra-civiliZed

HE may, on some occasions, act like
hog or a cur, but believe me, auntie
1t doesn't do any good to tell him so
You'll get better results by letting
him suppose that in your estimation
he's about the wisest, most generous
and noble specimen of humanity that
ever happened, because, as a general
thing, his vanity will make him try
to sustain your delusion-and that lit
tie old rule goes double every time.
You see, dearie, a man may act like
hog and not be hog, and woman
may act like fool and yet have con-
siderable sense tucked away under
her puffs. Anglo-Saxon is all right
when it isn't Billingsgate, but some
bull-necked, big-mouthed gentlemen
never seem to get wise to the distinc
ton. If l pay twenty-five dollars for
hat, I don't want the partner of my
joys and sorrows to tell me that it's
and that I'm not fit to be trusted With
money any more than a rabbit. If he
lets out a long, low whistle, that's
about as far as he has any right to

ITO what effect?" inquired Aunt
Jane, with interest.
Il really can't say what the effect
will be-" said Mrs. Merriwid. II hope
it won't shatter the windows, but Mr..
Pikestaff has a theory that language

Mr.. Pikestaff. Nothing namby-pamby

things their proper names-with a
few qualifying adjectives thrown in.
If he doesn't agree with you, he'll
take the liberty of telling you so, and
if you don't like it, you can do the
other thing"

tanned BLACKS BY KINDNESS
Who Manages an Island on the
Australian Coast.
Copyright. 1912, by w. G. {

j. Cooper, manager of Melville is
land, on behalf of E. o. Robinson, the
lessee, was in Melbourne this year.
Thirty-two years ago he went across
the Australian continent, south to
north, with horses. Ever since he has
been in the north, prospecting, stock
hunting and buffalo shooting.
Has shot and skinned countless buf.
falos. Lost count years ago as to how
many thousand. In the earlier days
all this hunting was on foot, but now
it is on horseback. Horsemen dash
into the herds and lay out the buff
faloes.
Cooper has administered Melville
island for many years. He has for a
long period been the only white man
on the island among numerous blacks.
Yet those blacks were reported to be
desperately ferocious. Sir G. Bremen
tried to make an English settlement
there in 1924. He had soldiers, but
the natives drove the party away.
In 1892 Robinson leased the island.
Subjugated by kindness, and indeed
had practically no other weapon. The
island Is of 100000 acres, together
with Bathurst island, separated by a
long narrow strait, fordable at one
end. At the other there is a harbor
fit to receive a war fleet. Bathurst
is about five hundred thousand acres,
and the natives roam over both.
They number about five hundred.
They have successfully repulsed the
Malayan and every admixture. APP
parently a separate type to the Aus
tralian in many respects.
About seventeen thousand buffaloes
on Melville island, and at least two
hundred thousand on the mainland of
Australia All descend from sixteen
buffaloes placed by Bremen on the is
land and sixteen on the mainland.
1t is stated that buffaloes has swum
across the intervening thirty miles.
Melville island is only that distance
from Port Darwin. What use a
force could make OF it! The natives
had never touched a buffalo till
Cooper came. Now they have as much
beef as they can eat.
The island is splendidly watered
with ever flowing springs, which give
rise to fine creeks, and there are a
couple OF rivers. Altogether well
erased and timbered, with numerous
fertile valleys and much arabic land.
All experiments with tropical plants
have succeeded, but little has been
done beyond shooting about thou
sand buffalos every year for their
skins.-The fmperialist.
