' MODERN DENTISTRY " Art A tie and Intricate Cold Filling’s a "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 ionsidered not unbeautiful, It seems, but nowadays porcelain fillings are preferred to metal ones for conspicu ous places. The porcelain comes in a powder, an impre-sion of the cavity is taken, the filling m ' !<?, baked hard, in serted, and secure ’ by the cement with which the cavity ha-: first been padded. As all shades of porcelain are to be had to match the different tints of teeth, these fillings are quite inconspicuous There are a few peon’e still who don'1 mind showing a go’J mine when thaj open their mm:as. and among tv,D-p are colored peep'e, who seem to think they gain a c?r:a'n amount of disfnc tion from such a dl n'y. / -"mg th most curious rer nests that 1 have h"’. * (n regard to work was one from an ac tress to-extend n cavi'y r' " ha_\_ hi front tooth so ti t. it would 'oral a J and fill it with gold.

I finally dissuaded her from this original project by-po'nting out that it might be emfcr.rrasmrg in later years, If she should oh mm to marry a man named Thomm or R'ctru-d. She evi dently saw the goo 1 souse of my re marks, but she relinquished her re markable idea reluctantly. Women generally very s-visibly want to make the fact that they Mve had to resort to art to preserve their teeth-as .Imper ceptible as ‘"possible, sc is 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. „...

Kansas Politician’s Characteristic Propo sal Accepted la Short Or«le-. A prominent politician of the Sun flower state who has been happily mar ried for over a year sent the following unique proposal to the object of bis adoration: "My Dear Miss-: I hereby announce myself as a candidate for your hand, and I shall use all fair and honorable means to secure the nomination. I know there are many candidates in the field and I hesitated long before entering the race, but now Iim in it to stay. My views on love and matrimony, have often been,;ex* “pressed in your hearing in an emphatic way. If you decide to confer upon me the honor I speak of "please fix li dUTe for a caucus with your mother. I have no objection to her acting as tem porary chairman, provided it i.~ c.oarly understood that I am to be chairman of the permanent organization. Should the results of the caucus prove satis factory we can soon hold the , r.maries and select the date and place of con i'*' vention. I never believed in long cam - paigns, so if you dec; ’.e to honor me I will ask you to make the comention date as early as possible. Devotedly yours, “-. * The following telegram answered: “Caucus unnecessary: nomination unanimous; come at once and fix the date of ratification.” From Candle* to Electricity. ■ Siberia has made the most wonder ful leap in progress in the nineteenth century. The people of that country never have seen illuminating gas used. From candles they have jumped into the electric age. The towns are lighted by the arc light and the houses by incandescent lamps. Tho Siberians understand the handling and care of electric light apparatus so well that accidents are extremely rare. It has been suggested that per haps their Immunity from accidents may be explained by the fact that J»ey wear heavy rubber overshoes.*: r r~ > The Tasking Is n V lly Foes The hunted one la a bare? anted little brown man, in cotton shire and trous ers, who, equally courageous, has more skill than the old foe of our army, the American Indian.

The stores of ice at Windsor, Os borne and Balmoral are very large. At Windsor there is storage room for about 500 tons. There the supply is obtained from the lake beneath the north ter race, from Frogmore, and from the lake between Frogmore and Virginia water. Ice is not only lavishly used in the royal kitchen, but also for re ducing the temperature of her majes ty’s apartments In hot weather. Then it is packed in pretty wooden buckets and stood in the fireplaces. Their Own Ammunition. A large amount of the small-arms ammunition now being used by the Boers against the English troops is of British manufacture. As late «s 1896 a large English cartridge firm,the pres ident of which is Mr. Arthur Chamber lain, the colonial secretary’s brother, supplied the Boer government with millions of rounds of ammunition. This transaction was, of course, well known to the British at the time. Funeral Reform In England.

The time required for a journey round the earth by a man walking day and night, without resting, would be 428 days; an express train, 40 days; sound, at a medium temperature, 32 Vi hours.' a cannon ball, 21% hours; light, a little over one tenth of a sec ond, and electricity, passing over a copper wire, a little under one-tenth of a second.

Artificial sponges are now made in Germany from a mixture of pure cellu lose with zinc chloride and sodium chloride. These sponges will absorb water in the same way as the genuine article, and when allowed to dry they become just as firm in substance. Bark Clothing. The Indians in the interior of Bolivia wear shirts and hats made of the bark of a tree, which is soaked in water to soften the fiber, and then beaten to make it pliable. Only Male Jaws at That.

Green Casey, a convict at San Quen tin, has won the admiration of all his fellow convicts at he prison for the novel contrivance he has invented in order to make his escape from the pris on walla some time ago, and through Sheriff Langdon of Santa Clara county, the story has leaked out, says the San Francisco Call.
