MODERN DENTISTRY Artistic and Intricate Hold Filling* a Thing of the Past. “The modern dentist need not be nearly as skilled a workman as his father was,’’ said one of the craft yes terday, as he merrily knitted up a foot or two of nerve with his little crochet hook,entirely disregarding his patient’s moans. "You see, there are no beau tiful and artistic gold fillings put in nowadays. As soon as a tooth gives an opportunity for showing skill in fill ing, presto! it is cut off and crowned or bridged with gold. A gold tooth is considered not unbcautiful, it seems, but nowadays porcelain fillings are preferred to metal ones for conspicu ous places. The porcelain comes in a powder, an impression of the cavity is taken, the filling made, baked hard, in serted, and secure! by the cement with which the cavity has first been padded. As all shades of porcelain are to be had to match the difTerent tints of teeth, these fillings are quite inconspicuous There are a few people still who don’t mind showing a goid mine when they open their mouths, and among these are colored people, who seem to think they gain a certain amount of distinc tion from such a display. Among th* most curious requests that I have had In regard to work was one from an ac tress to extend a cavity she had in a front tooth so that it would form a, .1/ and fill it with gold. ^_Sita- explained that she wasgaiftg~To marry a man named .jGtonrand that she thought it —Would be 'perfectly lovely’ to have his Initial in evidence whenever she talk ed. I finally dissuaded her from this original project by pointing out that it might be embarrassing in later years, if she should chance to marry a man named Thomas or Richard. She evi dently saw the good sense of my re marks, but she relinquished her re markable idea reluctantly. Women generally very sensibly want to make the fact that they have had to resort to art to preserve their teeth as imper ceptible as possib’.e, so as I said be fore, there’s, no really beautiful work done at present in the way of intricate fillings, and that’s a fact.’’—Baltimore News. -- Many a bright and happy household has been thrown into sadness and sorow be cause of death of a loved one from a neglected cold.

Rtory of a Clever I’rleooer'a Ptaa foa Kaespo. Green Casey, a convict at San Quen tin, has won the admiration of all hla fellow convicts at the prison for the novel contrivance he has invented in order to make his escape from the pris on walls some time ago, and through Sheriff Langdon of Santa Clara county, the story has leaked out, says the San Francisco Call. Casey was a kind of trusty around the prison grounds, and while working In one of the- grounds in the vicinity of the prison he took It into his head that he would like to es cape, and was beginning to tax his mind aB to the most advantageous way to suit his purpose. As he was stroii ihg around on the green grass which grows In abundance around the prison, an Idea struck him that If he could Imitate the grass by some means he could elude the watchful sentries and make good his escape. Through the aid of his convict friends he procured soqpe pieces of burlap, and with the J»fd of some rop? made them Into a long coat that would cover him completely when lying on the grass. He then se cured some wheat from the prison stable and sowed it down carelessly at one end of the prison grounds, and watered it daily. In a few weeks the grass grew up through the sack coat, and before a great while the piece of burlap was conformed into a grassy lawn. He was now ready to carry out his plans, and patiently waited an op portunity. At last he succeeded in get ting his new contrivance across to the northwest of the prison, and in a few minutes was under his grassy coat. Slowly he crept alovg with the clever ness of a worm, and from all appear ances success would crown his efforts. But his progress was too rapid, and very soon he heard footsteps coming in his direction. The moving grass plat, which was slowly making its way up the hillside soon came to a sudden standstill as the eye of a guard had noticed the grass moving and came to investigate the phenomenon. A kick in the ribs apprised Casey that bis plan had been discovered. The guard took Casey, and a red shirt now covers his breast. REPUBLICS ONLY IN NAME. I.atln-American Countries Are Qovarnod Upon Despotic Dines. “Only in name does republicanism exist in the countries of South Am erica,” says a southern business man who recently returned from a tour of the Latln-American countries.

Some years before his death Ruskln had the following codicil added to his will: “If I die at Herne Hill I wish to rest beside my parents in Shirley ceme tery; if I die at Brentwood I prefer to be burled at Conlston, but if I should by chance be killed during my Alpine excursions, I desire my body to be left where It may be found, and I ask no better tomb than the snow.” Doc * Real VTondtr.

Since 1885 the egg traffic has become so large that in New York city alone It amounts to over $9,000,000 annually. The reason for this increase lies in the fact that preserving eggs in cold sto rage has so lowered the price that everybody can buy them. In New York 2,160,000 eggs are eaten daily. They come principally from the west. The rest of the country eats eggs in same proportion, and though the Unit ed States produces 10,000,000,000,000 eggs yearly, it is necessary to import annually 15,000,000 dosen from Canada, Spain, Italy and even from far-away China, Inventor of n Wor Shield.
