There was one little incident in Robert Fulton’s life which. Fulton never forgot. It took place shortly before the return trip of the fu- mous boat’s voyuge by steiim up the Hudson river. At the time all Al bany flocked to the wharf to see the strange craft, but so timorous were they that few cared to board her. One gentleman, however, not only boarded her, but sought out Fulton, whom ho found in the cabin, and the. following conversation took place: l “This is Mr. Fulton, I presume ?” “Yes, sir.”/ “Do you return to New York with this boat?” “We shall try to get back, sir.” “Havo you any objoetion to my returning with you ?” “If you wish to take your chances with us, sir, I have no objection.” ' “What is the fare?” After a moment’s hesitation Ful ton replied, “Six dollars." And when that amount was laid in his hand he gazed at it a long time, and two big tears rolled down his cheeks. Turning to the passenger, he said: “Excuse me, sir, but this is the first pecuniary reward I have re ceived for all my exertion in adapt ing steam to navigation. I would gladly commemorate the occasion with a little dinner, but I am too poor now even for that. If we meet again I trust it will not be the case.” As history relates, the voyage terminated successfully. Four years later Fulton was sitting in the cab in of the Clermont, then called the North River, when a gentleman en tered. Fulton glanced at him and then sprang up and gladly shook his hand. It was his first passen ger, and over a pleasant little din ner Fulton entertained his guest with the history of his success and ended with saying that the first ac tual recognition of his usefulness to his fellow men was the $6 paid to him by his first passenger. The Origin of Dentistry. Dental therapeutics dates from a very remote epoch. It is not known when this art commenced, but it is well known that the Egyptians practiced it to a considerable ex tent. On a papyrus scroll estimat ed to date back 3,700 years before Christ, which was found buried at the feet of the god Anubis, there - were found written remedies against painful molars and a way to alleviate other troubles of the.tooth by means of pulverized drugs. The art of “filling” is very remote. Egyptian mummies have been found with molar cavities very carefully &losed. Others have artificial teeth, which show that in very ancient times this dental process was known. The Chinese cured toothache 2,700 years before our era. One of their methods was to put iron rust in the cavities.—Har per’s. A Confusion of Name*. Although Scotia is now known to mean Scotland, it once was the name of Ireland. Two centuries before the birth of Christ Ireland was known to the Greeks as Juven- ca. Caesar called it Hibernia, as did also Ptolemy in his map of that .island. It is said the Phoenicians first gavo Ireland the name of Hi bernia, meaning thereby “utmost or last habitation,” for beyond that land westward the Phoenicians never extended their voyages. Toward the decline of the Roman empire the,. country began to be called Scotia, a name -retained by the monastic writers until the elev enth century, when, the name Scotia having passed to modern Scotland, the ancient name of Hi bernia began 'to be again used. Kilting Time. To reaid for either instruction or amusement is commendable, but it is not so for the sake of killing time. Late in life, after his for tune had been made, a successful merchant,,Mr. S., took a young-man into partnership. Entering the of fice on a dull day in the dull sea son,, the millionaire found his part ner yawning over a book. “What’s that, you’re doing?”- Mr. S. asked. “There’s nothing else to do, so I’m rending,” was the answer. “Nothing else to do? Reading?” the great merchant repeated in a tone that expressed wonder, amusement arid scorn. “When you’ve nothing else to do don’t read. Think!” SERVICE BUILDING, FIRST STRUCTURE TO BE ERECT ED BY THE PANAMA-PACIFIC INTERNA TIONAL EXPOSITION.
