Those who imagine that the aire of
the teeth nnd tho replacement of tho Judge of tho district court

"something new under the sun" may
bo surprised to learn that artificial
teeth wore mado of Ivory placed on
plates of the snme material and held
together nnd In place by gold wires nnd
rivets COO to 1000 years before Christ.
Herodotus "the father of history" tells
us that tho Egyptians of tbo fifth dy
nasty understood tho diseases of tho
teeth and their trentment. There are
several passages In history to lead ono
to t.bo belief that both Crosar nnd An
tony wore nrtlflclnl teeth.
The dnte of tho Introduction of fnlso
teeth Into Europo Is uneertnln. They
wero known tn England ns early nt
least ns the time of tho discovery of
America. "The Mathematical Jewel"
published In 15S5 contains an account
of Sir John Bnlgravo "who caused nil
of bys teethe to be drnwne out and aft
er had n sett of Ivory teethe In ngnyno."

While In congress "Private" John
Allen of Mississippi could hardly bo In

serious question. The older members

Shortly after Sir. LIU) 1cld of Mnlno
had taken his seat fo. his first term
ho wanted some figures In n hurry.
Turning to Mr. Allen ho said: "Pardon
mo sir but you were nt Gettysburg.
Can you tell me bow innny Federal
soldiers wero killed outright there?" "I
am very sorry very sorry indeed that
I can't aecomniodnto you" replied the
"prlvnte." "But tbo fact ts that I wns
