Several fights took place Of minor

more than a hundred in the enclosure.
Finally a Filipino, bearing under his

Toothache Is Ancient.

1t has been discovered that hun
dreds of years before Columbus dis
covered America the aborigines OF
this continent employed, not to say
tolerated, dentists. And only while
ago it was discovered that dentists
flourished in ancient Egypt long be-
fore Moses was found in his basket OF
rushes beside the Nile. The ancient
American dentists practiced the art
of filling teeth. Some of their work
has lasted to this day in skulls found
in old burial mounds by Prof. M. H.
Saville of Columbus university. These
discoveries prove the antiquity OF
toothache-and reveal to US the fact
that these men of hundreds and thou
sands of years ago probably ap-
preached the shop of the dentist with
about the same feelings as possess
the man Of today. All of which is OF

knows he must soon approach that or

a Centurv AGO.

Samuel Colt, inventor 5r the re-
volver was born 100 years ago in
Hartford, Conn. He was a boy of fif'
teen on board an East Indianman,
sailor before the mast. when he made
his first model in wood Of his cele-
brated revolving pistol. At the age OF
twenty-one he took out his first patent
for the weapon. The officers Of the
government and the army and navy
declined for a long time TO give the
revolver their Endorsement, and the
first company formed for its manufac'
ture ended in failure. But the Sem
Inole war in Florida demonstrated the
merits Of the weapon and it was then
adopted by the army. Other wars IN
different parts Of the world created a
demand for the revolver, and by the
time Of the outbreak Of the American
Civil war, the Colts arms works could
hardly meet the call Tor the famous
pistol. Mr. Colt made = great fortune
out of his invention, but in 1862, he
died at the early age Of forty-eight.

consuls Have Troubles.

of the consul. His Office is invaded by
persons claiming his good Offices after
their plans have gone askew. Those
in better circumstances demand that

bank those in poorer circumstances.

emily a fixed idea that a consul can
draw on the treasury Tor the relief OF
stranded Americans. Many cases OF
distress are pitiable and consuls, not
even recouped against the social ex-
penses incidental to their position,
have to give relief out Of their pri-
vate means and to stand the inev-
table loss. The only persons whom
consuls are authorized by law to aid
are sailors on the articles of vessel
Of American registry wrecked within
their consular districts, and in this
case only to the extent Of immediate
relief and passage to the next Amer

Motorcycle as chaff Cutter.

A farmer at Bantnall, Salop, Eng
land, has fixed his motorcycle on a
stand against the wall Of the farm
buildings, and 1t drives a chaff-cutter
and turnip cutter at the same time
1t does not cost much to work it. The
turnip cutter is on the same level as
the cycle, and is connected by kind
of bicycle chain. The chaff-cutter is
placed above the turnip-cutter n an.
other floor and connected by twoinch
betting After it has been on some
little time the engiee gets ot, so a
fan is made to revolve by side to
keep it cool. 1t is also used for
churning milk This saves a great
deal of time for the workmen because
1t can do the two jobs at once.

Puts Value on sneezIng.

"a sneeze is the automatic bouncer'
of unwelcome guests, said DR.. Wal
ter A Wells in an address before the
members of the Keep Wells, a wom-
ems organization for the study of good
health at Washington. Doctor Wells
had reference to the nose and throat
as highways for disease,
"a great many people" he said, "be-
lieve that the important function of
the nose is the sense of smell, and
they seldom think of this organ as
one of respiration. The sense of smell
is only of secondary Importance when
its chief functions are considered.
The nose is the organ of respiration,
second only to the lungs in import
ance."

The Anti-Mosoulto Raid.

The crusade recently launched In
many cities to exterminate the mos
quito should be taken up all over the
country. While more formidable in
some places than others, it should not
daunt a people who have made such
definite inroads against pests and pur-
veyors Of disease in general as we
have in late years. Indeed, we have
included even the mosquito in our con-
quests to such an extent as apparently
to wipe out that particular species that
spreads the germs Of yellow fever. OF
course, the American people have
learned the primary lesson in all such
crusades, namely, the relative value
Of modern sanitation. Cleaning out
he breeding places, doing away with
standing water or marshes and remov-
ing the cause of mosquito-breeding is
the first step to be taken, and that, as
we say, has been taken to large ex-
tent.

Tourist club of Holland, recently made
IN interesting proposal at a meeting of
the congress of the League Of Interna-
tionaI Touring associations, says Lon

Aviators experience much difficulty
in ascertaining their whereabouts
when flying over towns and villages at
a considerable height, and Mr.. Lugard
suggested that at the top Of every
gasometer a large arrow should be-
painted with the tip pointing north.
His scheme includes the use of index

example, If SIX were index letters rep

Cracks in furniture should be filed
with beeswax. Soften the beeswax un-
til it becomes like putty, then press
it firmly into the cracks, and smooth
the surface over with a thin knife.
Sandpaper the surrounding wood, and
work some of the dust into the bees
wax. This gives a finish to the wood,
and when it is vanished the cracks
will have disappeared. F'utty used in
the same way soon dries and falls out.
