The meat had been embalmed and was contained in elliptical receptacles | resembling huge Easter eggs, forty to | which were removed from the tomb. Still other meats found were haunches of venison, trussed ducks and joints’of game. These were packed in wood- en boxes, shaped according to the na- | ture of the contents.

AS even a small amount in forelgn currency is a large sum in marks, the tax stamps represent considerable sums. Unfortunately there are ro higher stamps than fer 600 marks so that even before the pound and the dollar reached their present rate of exchange nearly every bill had to have an additional plece attached to it so that the necessary could fixed. The record’ bill was for $106,000 and had to bear 571 stamps of 600 marks each, the total tax being 342,600 marks, now equal to about $45, but once equivalent to. $85, stamps be A Despondent View Late Frederick Harrison Said Every Board In Civilization Creaking The Frederick Harrison, the noted positivist, historlan and philo- Sopher, took a despondent view of af- fairs in the last hours of his life, ac- cording to Sir Robertson Nicoll, who reproduces in the British weekly, a letter written by Mr. Harrison on Jan. 2, “Every board in. civilization {s cracking,” he wrote, “literature, the drama, art, industry, government ana peace are all being swept over by a flood of democratic vulgarity.

Interesting books on the| of Canadian history are avail-| study ible, the “Meaning of Canadian City Names,” by Mr. R. Douglas, M.A.,! Secretary of the Geographic ‘Board of | Canada, being particularly interesting. Of the of the better known places dealt with, the capital city of Ottawa makes panticular appeal. The name, adopted ffom that of the mighty stream on which it stands, commemorates an Indian tribe living in the early part of the seventeenth century on Manitoulin Island, Georg- ian Bay. ‘The Ottawas, whose name comes from names “adane”—to trade—were noted as inter-tribal dealers. They exercised exclusive control of the Ot- tawa River and says the Jesuit Rela- tion for 1667, “it was for this reason they bore the name Otta ue Medicine Hat js a translation of the ekfdot Indian name of the place aamis, meaning “head dress of a medicine man,” although the true ori- gin remains uncertain. Calgary was so named in 1876 by\ Colonel Macleod of the Northwest Mounted Police, the word being the name of the ancestral estate of his mother’s family—the Mackenzles—on the {sland of Mull in Scotland. Vancouver takes its name from that of Captain George Vancou- ver, who, fn the later years of the eighteenth century, had explored and visited Burrard inlet, but the name was not given to the settlement—for- merly called Grenyille—until the ar- rival of the C.P.R. in 1886. Regina, commemorating Queen Victoria, was a happy substitute for the unattractive litle “Pile” of Bones,” subsequently called Wascana, being the Sioux In- dian word for the same thing. Toronto is an Indian term origin- ally applied to Lake Simcoe, the hame being extended at an early date through the Severn River and even to the whole of Georgian Bay. The meaning of the word Toronto is dis- puted, whilst that of Lachine, Jacques Cartier county, dates from 1669, when LaSalle set out from the fort there for China. The name was given de- Servedly but Montreal marriage regis- ters for January 2, 1673, refer to the Marriage of a “habitant de la chine.” Montreal, of course, takes its name from the hill at whose base it lies, named Mount Royal by Jacques Car- tler in 1685, and the Indlan word “Que- bec” quite appropriately signifies “the river narrows here.” Halifax was founded in 1749 and was hamed, not after the Yorkshire town, but after George Montague Dunk, second Earl of Halifax, the first lord commission- er, The Indfan name for the citadel site of the town—Gwowamicktook (white pine forest)—was very wisely dropped for one more easily pro nounced. ‘There is quite an excellent variety of most interesting materiat in the brochure whieh should act as a splendid stimulus to Canadian history lovers.—Montreal Gazette. “YOUR TEETER DO IT IN TIME Ly Rea Proctor MoGee, ALD. D.D.S., Pittsburg; Pa. If the ordinary processes of nature were never interfered with it would not be necessary to extract the tem- porary teeth; they would extract them selves at (he proper time. Normally the roots are absorbed as the ting comes for the eruption of the perman- ent teéth and the crown, Or business: end of the tooth, is left hanging to the gum. Some day a little extra pres- sure removes the baby tooth and in its place there is the tip of the cusp of the permanent tooth that follows, If this natural system was always fol lowed a great deal of trouble would be avoided. Unfortunately many causes operate’ to interfere with ma ture’s perfect plan. If the permanent tooth does not come directly under the temporary tooth, the absorption of the root will either be incomplete or it will fail to absorb at all. Sometimes long slit ers of the temporary tooth rooty~ire left and when the crown comes off of an attempt is made to extract, these root pleces are Ieft to wedge in tho process between the permanent teeth: This condition always results in in: flammation, sometimes: causes serious abscesses,’ and often interferes with the effort of the permanent tooth 10 take its proper place in the arch Pleces -of the roots of temporary teeth should never be left in te mouth.
