Such pride has the Bedouin in his
weapon that even in his leisure hours
he sits fully armed, examining and
cleaning each piece In turn, making
himself accustomed to carrying their
weight.
From the time that he is eighteen
years of age until he dies Of old age
he is more or less looking out for new
wives.
BY law Mohammedans are never al
lowed to have more than four at the
same time. but they easily evade this
regulation by ~divorcing one, which
means sending her back to her par
ents.
This is often because she has borne
him no souls, and 1t happens that the
old sheiks almost always have young
wives.
Just as it is allowable with them to
steal camels. so the young men help
n another to steal wives from other
tribes.

Horses and Mules In Demand.

Export dealers figure that 10000
American horses have been exported
to Europe and about ten thousand
mules, since the war began. Orders
are being filled and other orders go

Mythical Colorado Town.

A certain well-known theatrical
had a company in the West
that had an open week, and as the
manager didn't wish to lay the com
pany off for the entire week he wired
the manager of a Denver theater to
secure him some dates in neighbor-
ing towns. The Denver manager wired
back a list of open dates. among
which were these: Cripple Creek,
March 2, lay off third; Fort Collins,
fourth. The telegraph operator
mixed the two words, LAY off" and
spelled it "Layhof." The New York
manager, as soon as he received the
wire took out a map of Colorado and
began to figure on the railroad move
ments. He could not find the town
"Layhoff." He consulted time tables,
larger maps, and even called upon
his friends to see II they knew OF the
town. They all professed ignorance,
so at last he wired back. How will
| find Iayhoff?'" The Denver mana.
ger received the telegram and, as by
some providence, the two words we're
separated and spelled correctly. he
wired back: II think you will And
many of them expensive"

and every little detachment must have
a telephone connecting it with every
other detachment. force, column or

POTTERY WORK is A PUZZLE
Immense Bowls Made by Indians Of
the Amazon Valley Cannot Be
Duplicated.

An expert has declared there is no
kiln or oven in this country, probably
none in the world, large enough to
bake the largest Of the big pots dis
covered in the Amazon valley, samples
of which are now on exhibition at the
Museum of the University of Penn
sylvania. The clay used also has
aroused much curiosity. When a
piece of the edge was clipped from
one of the big bowls the material was
shown to be a black, flinty substance.
Undeniably 1t is clay, but of a kind
never seen before by psychologists.
Potters are astonished at its remark
able strength. The large bowls are
less than half an inch thick, while
some of the smaller ones, a foot or
fourteen inches high, are as thin as a
sheet of newspaper. An idea Of their
strength may be gained from the
knowledge that they were transport
ed about ten thousand miles before
reaching the museum, and only a Jew
of them were broken, though all were
packed under difficulties in villages
that knew nothing of packing break
ables.
The Indians who made these wonder
full pots are as mysterious as their
work. Doctor Farrabee wrote that
they were absolutely devoid of any
traditions, and had no idea of where
they came from. 1t is known, however,
that they cannot have been in Peru
more than about five hundred years.
The larger bowls give out a metallic
sound when raped. One not seeing
the substance would say at first they
were made of painted copper. Each of
the two big pots would hold four or
five tons.

eleven in the morning. A very few min
utes suffice for each Ease because the
curing effected by the apparatus with
in the mouth is so gradual a process.
Six operators had perhaps sixty or sew
enty cases in their chairs during the
short time that the correspondent was
permitted to remain in the clinic. The
majority of the cases so far have come
from the wounded taken directly to the
hospital from the front, but during the
last few weeks many cases have been
received from other hospitals whose
surgeons have heard of the work be-
ing done by the American dental clinic.
Most of these cases we're for reopera-
ton, of course.
In addition to the more serious sur
gical work which the American den.
lists are carrying on a large amount of
extremely important minor work in the
way of repairs TO bad teeth is being
accomplished. Soldiers who cannot eat
cannot fight and 1t takes better than
ordinary teeth to chew army food. The
number of men who have been sent
back from the trenches because they
have broken off their rotted teeth by
biting on hard biscuits and have then
fallen i'll from indigestion of food
swallowed whole is very large. There
are also in the regular military hos
pitfalls Of Paris and the provincial cities
hundreds of men who have simply lost
their false teeth in the trenches. The
state of dental culture in France is so
low-until 1894 any person whatsoever
could hang out his dentists sign
that the ordinary recruit has teeth
which an American dentist would say
offhand made him useless for long
campaigning.
The English soldiers, too, have very
bad teeth. The consequence is that
toothache is common in the English
trenches, even among officers, strange
as that may seem. One English gen.
eral even had to have a dentist visit
him under fire to pull a tooth.
Important as Good Feet.
The point which the American den.
lists emphasize is that dental work is
so rapidly done that it would be pos.
sible to have every man properly
equipped with a chewing apparatus in
time of peace and that eating is such
an important part of a soldiers &C
tivity that it is as foolish to send him
out to battle with bad teeth as it would
be to drill men with impossibly Grip
pied feet with the idea of making ex.
cellent marchers out of them. In
order to raise the dental standard in
armies, of course, it will be necessary
to grant medical rank to dental practi
TONERS, who consider themselves as
medical men who have taken up the
legitimate medical speciality of the
teeth and mouth.
Thus it is hoped that the war may
have the incidental good effect of ad
vertising the tremendous social value
of the American dental standard and
introducing into armies some sort o
systematic treatment of this importanr
matter.

dust, Audrey Munson, who posed for
three-fifths of all the %statuary of the
Panama-Paciic exposition, will live in
the bronzes and of the art
centers of the world. Her form and
features are depicted on every prin-
cipal building at the exposition. At
least twenty million persons will be-
hold the wonderfully modelled head

Munson began posing when she vas
fourteen years old and during the
nine years that have passed she has
been in constant demand by Americas
foremost painters and sculptors. The
figure of this slender, graceful girl
considered by modern critics as the
nearest approach to the classic lines
of Venus-is reproduced in sculpture
from one end of the country to the
other. Miss Munson lives in New

Paris.-A capital professional inter.
est attaches to the dental department
of the American ambulance at Neuilly.
Perhaps never before, certainly never
since dental science took on the char
acter of surgery of the face" has
there been such an opportunity for
dentists. The number and variety of
injuries to the lower part of the face
which have been presented by the
wounded from the battlefields along
the Marine and Aisne has never been
surpassed in even the most remarkable
railway accidents, those other feasts
of dentists.
1t is due again to American ingenu-
ity and independence that the dental
aspect of war surgery has been given
any chance. First Of all Americans
are the best dentists, as they were the
first practical ones. In this branch of
medicine Europe still goes to school to
America. Then, too, the American am
bulance was founded under such con
ditiops of freedom from bureaucratic
control that it was possible for the
eminent head surgeon, Doctor Du Bou-
Chef, himself a son of a dentist and a
brother of one, to turn over to a spe-
cial department all jaw cases without
stirring up rivalries between grades of
surgeons and physicians and dentists
with different kinds and colors of
stripes IN their sleeves.
In the French hospitals dental oper.
ating has not been nearly so success.

fist is not mechanically and medically
so competent as his American con,
frere, but ever more pronouncedly be-
the dentists military grade is
necessarily lower than the physicians
or surgeons.
Dentists In U. S. Army.
In the English army, too, there are
no places regularly reserved for den
lists. In fact the American is the only
army for which dentists are regularly
engaged just as surgeons are, and in
the American army the grade of the
dentist, that Of first lieutenant, from
which he cannot rise, is far from salts
factory to the profession in general.
The result of this particularly bad
foresight on the part Of the French
military bureaucrats is that no pro-
vision can be made for the curing of
injuries to the jaw, because it is out
of the question for surgeons to attempt
to do dental work. At the American
ambulance now the dental department
is receiving many cases for reopera-
ton from eminently competent sur
geons.
The case of a man whose jaw, two
thirds shot away, was sewn and pieced
together so that 1t was all out of line
and whose lips, ripped to pieces by the
ball which destroyed his mouth and
left only fragments hanging about his
neck, were so sewed up that his beard
was growing away prosperously inside
his mouth and tickling the roof Of it,
leaving the patient unable to speak
and scarcely able to eat, was only one
of dozens. In six weeks the American
dentist treating this man had the jaw
and lips back again in normal position
and a monstrous face is turned into
one which only a dentist could ever
tell had been injured.
It would be folly for anyone but
a dentist to attempt to describe In
their technical aspect the peculiar
