WORK OF ANCIENT DENTISTS
Remarkable Teeth Decoration Shows

able Skill,

By far the most transcendent ex.
ample of teeth decoration which has
at present come to light In America
IL In skull discovered in 1909 at a
place called La Piedra, near the point
on the right bank Of the Esmeraldas
river where 1t empties into San Mateo
bay. 1t was accidentally found by Mr..
Pinzon and Mr. George D. Hedian. the
latter an American consular agent at
Esmeraldas, and was kindly presented
by Mr.. Hedian for the Heye museum
during my visit to Ecuador last sum-
mer. The skull was seen projecting
from the bank, but no other parts of
the skeleton were uncovered, probably
having been washed away after the
bank was undermined.
The upper part OF the skull Is in
Fragments but is restorable. The
skull, slightly deformed, is that Of an
adult female. The decoration of the
teeth is unique and presents new
type of facial ornamentation. In
stead OF small disks being set into arti-
fetal cavities we find in this case that

When I was in the Harvard Medical
school, one OF the best professors
there, celebrated physician, who had
been lecturing upon the power Of the
imagination, warned the students
against the dangers of imagining that
they. themselves. had the disease
about which they studied. The profess
sor told me that once he got 1t into
his head that he was developing
Brights disease in his system. The
conviction became so strong that he
was In the grasp of this so-called fatal
disease that he preferred to die rather
than be told of his condition by anoth-
er physician.He lost his appetite, lost
flesh rapidly. and became almost inca.
pable of lecturing until one day a med
teal friend, astonished at the change
In his appearance, asked what was the
matter with him.
Il have Bright's disease" was the
reply. Il am sure of 1t, for l have

Nonsense" said his friend; you
have nothing of the kind
After great deal of persuasion,
the professor was induced to submit
to an examination, and 1t was discov.
cred that there was not the slightest
evidence of Bright's disease In his
system. He rallied 30 quickly that
even In day those who knew him
noticed the change. His appetite re-
turned. his flesh came back, and he
was a new man.

SHEEP AND MEAT SHORTAGE
Yield Valuable By-Produet IN
Wool-Multlply Rapidly.

There is a good basis for the belief
recently expressed by Prof. Carlyle OF
Idaho that sheep will partly replace
cattle and help to overcome the meat
shortage. Sheep multiply more rapidly
than cattle; there are more multiple
births. One OF the greatest drawbacks
to the production OF beef On high.
priced land is that COW must be
kept year for a calf.
Another advantage In favor OF sheep
rs that they yield valuable by-prod.
uct. the wool. without having to be
milked. That appeals to good many
farmers. For the consumption OF
roughage. the by-product of the farm,
sheep are as well adapted as cattle,
Indeed. It is not difficult to believe
that sheep will increase in the next
ten years where cattle have been de-
creasing.

The old. time-honored method OF
bundling the whole crop off to some
city commission house, selected by
guess usually, to get returns for It

satisfactory that we have all been
working at this vexing problem
which has not kept place with other
improvements in agriculture. | have
learned from experience that II Ia one
thing to secure a crop of honey and
quite another to dispose Of It to the

Much has been written and said In
favor OF developing a home market,
and OF every man selling his own
honey. II q man has a good home
III
has a good salesman. such a course
is alright but the best locality for pro-
ducing honey often. a very poor one
for selling, and the best bee-keeper
is sometimes the poorest kind OF
salesman, In such cases II Is wisdom
to seek distant markets, and to EN-.
ploy somebody to do the selling.
My own experience with commission
men has been very pleasant and sat

honey to any frm that had no estab-
lished reputation for honesty and fair
dealing.
The man who is on the spot usually
can tell better than anyone else as to
when 1t is best to sell at certain

Better prices, however, are sometimes
realized when honey is sold on COM

pays cash down is pretty careful not
to pay too much.

necessity OF dlsposing OF our honey

Chamberlains political campaigns.
During one of his speeches a man in
the audience kept on shouting:
Are you going to tax my food? Are
you going to tax my food?"
After a bit the audience lost pa
tience with the man, and loud sugges-
tions we're heard that he should be
turned out. Mr.. Chamberlain calmed
the storm. however, and proceeded
with his speech. but few minutes
later the mans voice was heard again:
