The Beautiful Isle of Thasos.

Thasos, where British marines are
alleged to have landed TO liberate an
imprisoned English dragoman. is the
most northerly and the most beautiful
of all the Aegean islands. 1t has a
purely Greek population, but practi-
cally belongs to the khedives of Egypt.
This dates from the days of Moham
med Ali, the common sailor who rose
to a throne. He was native of
Thasos, for which he always cherished
strong affection, and received his be-
loved island as a gift from the sui
tan. Formerly Thasos was famous for
gold and marble, but latterly large
quantities of timber from the Khedi-
vial fir forests have been exported to
Egypt. In the present war Thasos oc-
cupies an important strategic position,
commanding the port of Kavalla, on
the opposite mainland, and the Ger
mans, who thought of everything"
have tried to establish themselves
there by the peaceful penetration"
of strong colony.-London Chronicle.

The art of dentistry, most people will be

sists of several teeth united by gold wire
Two of them are transplanted teeth, firmly
fastened by the wire to those that are
fixed in the jaw.
In the Museum at Corneto may be seen
a number of marvellous specimens of dental
work of the sixth and seventh centuries
before Christ. They consists mainly of
bridge work, done by riveted bands of
metal. One of them supported three artl-
ficiaI teeth, two of these having been made
out of a single OK tooth. grooved to initiate

ON SPUR OF

~ ROY < MoUSrON.

They Are Due Soon.
How dear to my heart are the scenes of
When fond recoilections present them
The church Christmas tree and the pres
Some of them hang lovers and other
brand new.
How well 1 remember my dear Uncle
Who played Santa Claus How we all
used to grin
in a jiffy,
And the white cotton whiskers that hung
on his chin.
The time-honored whiskers,
TIL. long, stringy whiskers,
The fitting whiskers that hung on
his chin.
How oft I recall that sad evening when
uncle
Leaned over a candle and set them afire !;
He singed off his hair and his mustache
and eyebrows
And upset the preacher, the tree and
The fire brigade came and the hose turned
But he ran around making terrible din !;
He burned up the parsonage, church and
the stable.
With flames from the whiskers that
hung from his chin.
The fussy cid whiskers,
The quick lighting whiskers;
The fast burning whiskers that hung
from his chin.
Impossibilities.
Once upon a time a person made a
famous remark that nothing is i'm
possible. Here are some things that
person never tried to do.
He never tried to convince his wife
that she didn't need a new hat.
He never tried to cut a pane of
glass with a 10 cent glass cutter.
He never tried to unscrew the top
from a glass fruit jar with his bare
hands.
He never tried to look dignified in
a eelluloid collar.
He never tried to hook his wife's
dress up in the back in a hurry.
He never tried to make league
baseball pay in town where grass
grows in the middle of the street.
