A Confusion of Names.

Although Scotia is now known to mean Scotland. it once was the name of Ireland. Two centuries before the birth of Christ Ireland was known to the Greeks as .Iuven- ca. Caesar called it Ilibernia. as did also Ptolemy in his map of that island. It is said the Phoenicians first gave Ireland the name of Hi bernia. meaning thereby utmost or last habitation." for beyond that land westward the Phoenicians never extended their voyages. Toward the decline of the Roman empire the country began to be called Scotia. name retained by the monastic writers until the elev- enth century. when. the name Scotia having passed to modern Scotland. the ancient name of Hi bernia began to be again used.

The oriain of Dentistry.

Dental therapeutics dates from a very remote epoch. Ii is not known when this art commenced. but it is well known that the Egyptians practiccd it to a considerable ex- tent. On papyrus scroll estimat- ed to date back 3.7OO wears before Christ. which was found buried at the feet of the god Anubis. there were found written remedies against painful molars and way to alleviate other troubles of the teeth by means of pulverized drugs. The art of filling" is very remote. Egyptian mummics have ~'en found with molar cavities very carefully closed. Others have artificial teeth. which show that in very ancient times this dental process was known. The Chinese cured toothache 2.1OO years before our era. One of their methods WAS to put iron rust in the cavities.-Har- per's.

EuLToN,s FIRST FARE.
An Incident Which the Steamboat
 Genius Never Forgot.


 There was one little incident in Robert Fulton's life which Fulton never forgot. It took place shortly before the return trip of the ia nous boats voyage by steam up the Hudson river At the time all AL bany flocked to the wharf to see the strange craft, but so timorous were they that few cared to board her. One gentleman, however. not only boarded her. but sought out Fulton, whom he found in the cabin, and the following conversation took place:
 "This is Mir. Fulton, I presume ?"
 "Yes, sir"
 "Do you return to New York with this boat?"
 "We shall try to get back, sir"
 "Have you any objection to my returning with you ?'
 of you wish to take your chances with us, sir, have no objection"
 "What is the fare ?"
 After a moments hesitation Full ton replied. "Six dollars" And when that amount was laid in his hand he gazed at it a long time, and two big tears rolled down his cheeks. Turning to the passenger. he said:
 Excuse me. sir. but this is the first pecuniary reward 1 have re- ceived for ail my exertion in adapt ing steam to navigation. l would gladly commemorate the occasion with a little dinner. but l am too poor now even for that. If we meet again trust it will not be the case"
 As history relates, the voyage successfully. Four years later Fulton was sitting in the cab in of the Clermont. then called the North River. when a gentleman en- tered. Fulton glanced at him and then sprang up and gladly shook his hand. It was his first passen- ger. and over a pleasant little din- ler Fulton entertained his guest with the history of his success and ended with saving that the first ac- -ual recognition of his usefulness to his fellow men was the $6 paid to lim by his first passenger.

A SUBLIME SPECTACLE.
South Afriea's Great Natural Wonder.
 Victoria Fails

South Afrrea's Great Natural Wonder. Victoria Fails
 Just as every visitor to the Unit ed States heads straight for Mag ara, so every visitor to South Africa
 purchases forthwith ticket to the
 Victoria falls of the Zambezi, the mighty cataract in the heart of Rhodesia, which is the greatest nat ural wonder in the dark continent and perhaps in the world.
 The natives call the falls Mosi. Oa-tunya, which means "Thunder- ing Smoke" and you appreciate the names significance when your train halts at daybreak at wavside sta ton sixty miles away and you see above the treetops a cloud of smoky vapor and hear a low hum- ming like a million sewing ma chimes.
 It is so utterly impossible for the eye, the mind and the imagination to grasp the size, grandeur and beauty of the Victoria falls that it is futile to attempt to describe them. If you can picture an unbroken sheet of water forty city blocks in width hurtling over a precipice twice as high as the Flatiron build ing you will have the best idea that 1 can give vou of what the Victoria falls are like.
 They are unique in that the level of the land above the falls is the same as that below. the entire breadth of the second greatest river in Africa falling precipitately into deep and narrow chasin. from which the only outlet i> an opening in the rock less than loo wards wide.
 From the Boiling Pot. as this seething caIdrnn of waters is call ed, the contents of the Zambezi rush with unbridled fury through a deep and narrow gorge of basaltic cliffs. which. nowhere inferior to the rapids at Niagara, extends with many zigzag windings for more than forty miles.
 My first glimpse of the falls was in the early morning, and the love ly, reeking splendor of the thing, as the great. placid river. all un- conscious of its fate, comes sudden lv to the precipice's brink and plunges in one mighty torrent into the obscurity of the cavern below; the crush as of unceasing thunder, the rolling clouds of spray. the trembling earth. the sornber rain forest on the opposite bank and a stealing over all. made a picture which will hang on the walls of my memory as long as live.-E. Powell in Scribner's.

Phosphorus and Life.

Everything that lives draws the elements necessary to it's life from what surrounds it or envelops it. These elements are found in a free state-as, for instance, oxygen-or in mineral forms or water. Two of the fundamental clements are car bon and nitrogen. These, with phosphorus. are indispensable to the maintenance of life. Phos- phorus is found everywhere in plant and animal tissues. In organic matter it is found in the state of phosphoric acid. combined with diff ferent metallic clements. In arabic ground its common form is phos- phate of calcium.-Exchange.

What Surprised Him.

The minister of certain church was greatly exercised by the drowsy habits of his people. Taking them to task on this score on Sun day afternoon. he remarked: q see great many of you overcome with sleep. l do not wonder at it. for the weather is oppressive. your work is hard. and many of you have come long way. Therefore" he added. "l am not surprised to see many of you sleep. but what sur prises me is to see many sleeping who have such a comfortable sleep here in the morning" ."-Pearson's Weekly.

How the Eskinos Rear Their Spiral
 Houses of Snow.

Houses of Snow.
 Only one thing, the assurance of
 R nights shelter of comparative
 comfort, makes a winters sledge
 journey across the desolate, inter-
 minable wastes of Labrador bear able. The method of securing this shelter is described by Dr. S. K.
 Hutton in Among the Eskimos of
 Labrador"
 l What will you do if we cannot reach home?" I asked Johannes one afternoon, as we labored through the drifting snow in the teeth of an arctic storm.
 "Stop and build a snow house," Iaid he.
 When the afternoon light began to grow dull he pulled out one of the big snow knives, an appalling weapon, with . bone handle and blade yard long, Brandishing this, he trotted from side to side, prod ding here and jabbing there. He was finding snow."
 When the place was chosen-it was a gently sloping hillside, for there the snow hardens the best my drivers were soon at work. Each man armed himself with his huge snow knife, and between them they marked out a circle in the snow. Then Johannes retired to the middle and began to dig. He first made a wedge shaped hole, to give himself start, and then from the sides of the hole he carved great slabs of the frozen snow. 1 judged them to be about six or eight inches thick. two or three feet long and eighteen inches high, and they were nearly as heavy as stone.
 Johannes just tumbled them out of his hole as fast as he could cut them. and as the hole grew saw that the slabs were all slightly curv- ed. Julius seized each slab as it top pied out and carried it gingerly to the edge of the circle. He set the slabs on edge. side by side, and chippcd them little from the top, so that they leaned inward. He pared away the first few with his knife. 80 that the lowest ring formed the beginning of a spiral. He followed the spiral up, propping each slab against its neighbor and chipping it's edge so that it leaned well inward.
 Meanwhile Johannes got nearer and nearer the wall with his dig ging, and his work got harder and harder, for instead of tumbling the slabs out he had to pick them up and hand them 10 Julius over the leaning wall. thought the wall looked frail and unsafe, but Julius seemed to think otherwise, for he crawled up on it and leaned over to see how Johannes was getting on in- side. As matter if fact, his weight only pressed the slabs together bit more firmly.
 Al last the spiral was finished, all l but the "kevstone." Julius sprawled | on the side of the house. while Jo- names hands showed a big slab l through the opening that still re- at the top. Julius laid it | over the hole and clipped the edges away with his knife until it gently | dropped into place.
 A scraping and tramping noise was next heard inside the house; that was Johannes smoothing the floor. Meanwhile Julius was filling all the creviccs with snow to keep | the wind out.
 Soon Johannes was ready to come put. His sword poked out suddenly md slashed doorway in the wall, and then the man himself crawled put. The house was finished.
