Though dentistry became a science I under the band of Professor Richard Owen us late us 1830. there are ca dences that It was practiced in u crude way by the.ancients. Herodotus refers to treatment of the teeth by the Egyp tians. and evidences of attempts te supply artificial teeth have been dis covered in ancient skulls uirtl mum mies. Galen was the first physician to speak of treatment of troublesome teeth, and Amhroise Pore, in his work on surgery In 1550, makes mention of the preservation of the teeth. It is only since the middle of the lust cen tury, however, that dentistry has be come a branch of surgical science. Be fore that time had teeth were extract ed, and mere tooth drawing constitut ed dentistry early in the nineteenth century. The first dental school in the United States was erected at Balti more in 1830. In 1845„Cinclnnatl boast ed of a similar Institution, and in 1850 u dental school was erected at Phila delphia. A Gentleman of the Old School. Lady Dorothy N’evlll In her reminis cences tells u story of her father, a gentleman of the old school, “In nan keen shorts, with white stockings and a brass buttoned blue coat, with big collar, over a beautifully embroidered waistcoat.” But he swore, after the manner of the age. “He was traveling at night on the continent alone in a post chaise when the postboy, while passing through a forest, begau to drive like a man anything but certain of his way. My father's wrath soon rose, and the explosion of strong lan guage which issued from the carriage so alarmed the driver that, murmuring. ‘Je ne veux pas condiilre le dinble' (I will not drive the devil), he pulled up and, having expeditiously unfastened the traces, made oflf with his horses at a gallop. My father. I believe, passed the whole night alone In the woods." 1 beg to acknowledge receipt of check of The Travelers Insurance Co. for $2,030.62, same being in payment of life policy which my husband took out with you.

In the columuH of the New York Gasetteer of Sept. 8. 1786. there was a paragraph lamenting the increase ef lawyers as threatening to the future prosperity of the community and d«- grading to freemen. “An honest trade la former day*.” said the writer, “waa all that people of common ability and education were ambitious of, but now no profession is genteel but the law yer and the merchant.

Our con gress, our assembly, are crowded with them, and even in our great commer cial convention there are five lawyers to one merchant.” Cwrfn* (be Dad Boy.
