Where She Would Be TAUGHT.

Women, writes Marion Harland,
should emulate the sagacity of their
spouses in selecting wisely the food
stuffs and whatever else goes to max
ing up the comfort and comeliness of
the home. Expenses should be regu-
lated by the sum their husbands can
afford to hand to them for the defray-
ment of domestic expenses. But who
is to instruct the raw girl just out of
school, in the principles and details of
applied household economies? The al
most universal fashion of sending the
daughter to boarding school at the age
Of IL or IA and from boarding school
to college for four years more, vaca>
tions being passed at watering places,
the seaside, or abroad, effectually pre-
cludes the possibility of learning
housewifery from her mother Admir-
able as may be-and in many cases
are the department of domestic
science established in our leading in
stitutions of learning for girls, one
year of apprenticeship in the kitchen
of a home where economy is pres
'ent and practical consideration would
make better business partner for the
prospective husband than a four
years course in the model Offices and
demonstration halls of the best
equipped college in the country.

Aristocratic Pests.

A most interesting development in
connection with efforts to destroy the
alfalfa beetle is reported from the re-
gion of the Mediterranean. It's de-
structive power in alfalfa fields is
enormous. So valuable has the alfalfa
become to the farmers of the country
that the appearance and ravages of the
pest are occasion of deep and wide
spread concern.
But how did the beetles find their
way from the Mediterranean shores
to the plains of the West? 1t may
be understood readily that they have
taken passage on vessels from that
part of the world to our eastern ports.
But how did they make the trip over
land?
A partial answer, at least, to these
questions is found in the results Of
investigation of the "sweepings" in
palace cars in the west. The vacuum
cleaner" is used in cleaning these
cars. Thirty-seven of the destructive
pests were found few days ago in
the clutches of a cleaner used in one
compartment of sleeping car!

DENTISTRY NOT NEW
SAMPLES OF ANCIENT WORK IN
MUSEUMS.
Most Interesting Because the Oldest
Is Specimen of Bridge-Work Which
Was Found in Phoenician
Tor1b at Sidon.

Dentistry, though considered pc
sculiarly 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
a tomb at Sidon. The specimen is
now in the Louvre at Paris, and con-
sists 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
a 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 a
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 a tooth
The satiric poets of Rome, especial
ly Martial, referred frequently to arti-
fetal teeth. Martial speaks of an old
woman who was so scared that as
she ran away her teeth fell out In one
epigram he answers the question why
one woman's teeth are dark, while an
others are white, though both are of
the same age, by saying that one of
them buys her teeth, while the other
has her own. The Romans had a
number of different kinds of denti-
frices, and took great care of their
teeth. Galen describes a form of pas,
tile containing aromatics and opium
that might be used as a toothache
gum. The filling of teeth with various
kinds of metal is described by CELSIUS,
though the first sure reference to gold
filling does not occur until about the
middle of the fifteenth century. The
transportation 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

An English actor was travelling with
an American company and won his
way into the heart of every member
by his kindly courtesy and quiet con-
sideration. One of the ladies, wishing
to find out if a sense Of humor was
also one of his qualities, propounded
to him the following conundrum:
(Which dies the harder, sculptor
or barber?"
The Englishman gave it up, and she
replied:
"a sculptor, because the barber
curls up and dies, but the sculptor
makes faces and busts."
Tie Englishman laughed, not bois-
terously, but that she attributed to his
well-bred reserve, and decided in his
favor Later in the evening he came
to her and said:

you something's"
NO." she answered.

FLED FROM CHINESE REVOLT
Two Missionaries Arrive in California
but Have Little to Tell About
the Fighting.

The first missionaries to come out
from war-stricken China arrived in
San Francisco the other day on the
steamship Siberia from Hankow. They
are Rev. James Webster, an English
minister, who for seven years has
been conducting a mission at Human,
in the vice-royalty of WI Chang,
where the Chinese rebellion had it's
inception, and Rev. A. w. Martin,
who for three years has had mis-
sion at Nanking.
Their reports of the rebellion are
rather meager, as both were gath
cred with all other foreigners into the
consulates as soon as the war broke
and were kept under excellent pro-
lection until the time OF their depar-
ture.
Mr.. Webster. who went to .Hankow
Immediately following news of the
uprising, with all other foreigners,
left that city two days before it was
captured, burned and sacked by the
imperial forces. During his stay there
the city was under the control OF the
insurgents, and he says those who
had lived in Hankow for years de-
clared that the municipality was gov
erned better by the rebels than it
had ever been before.
Mr.. Webster sent his family back
to his old home at Nottingham, Eng
land, last February, and now is on
furlough and on his way to join them
during the holidays.
Mr. Martin is returning to his home
in Iowa with his wife and children.
All four of the children We're born in
China and now are receiving their
first view of America.
He and his family, with all other
foreigners, were hurried into the
American consulate on November 8
as a result of the fighting near Nam
king, and on November all the
women and children We're rushed out
of that city by rail to Shanghai. The
city's gates were closed, and at the
request of the American consul,

made bold to creep up to a loaf OF

had been cut. He seized it and drag

somehow managed to scramble down

then fixed his teeth in the crust and
dragged it away and down the steer
