At First They Are Only Allowed to Try on Themselves and Each Other, But In Their Third Year They Have Real Live Patients In the Infirmary--Impostors Are Kept Out--To Pay if You Can. At the Dental Col in Toronto over two hundred and fifty young "dents" are # ling with the in- tricacies of tne profession, all hoping to hang out a gilt shingle with three letters annexed to their name, and incidentally the final fee that the University of Toronto con- descends to receive from these youths for the D.D.S. is forty dollars. Some man reputed to have had more than ordinary intelligence has said that the way to learn to do is by doing. That's the principle that appears to run through the course of instruction given to young dentists. From the time they enter they do practice rk. . "The first two years of their course they are allowed to practice ouly on themselves, or ou each other. Many victims wonder when the . dentist "hurts" if he knows anything about She jain he causes. The are he , after allowing other kid den. tists like himself to put those horrid. instruments in his mouth and burrow 2round looking for exposed nerves. Mhey take some awful chances, but seem to survive. If one gets hurt particularly bad, he keeps it quiet, ut doesn't forget it when it comes his turn to be operator. : The third vear of his term he is al- lowed a limited number of cases in the infirmary of the school when the free patients are treated. The idea of the infirmary is primar. ily charitable, and for twenty years now the institution has been caring for the Pr and needy of Toronto without fee and without ptice. The Mimico Bchool, the Aged Women's Home, the Aged Men's Home, the Girls' and Boys' Home, and all the orphanages about the city have had the privilege of sending any patients to the school, and their dental needs would be taken care of. Every week students from the college visit these, and other similar institutions, and leave the cards of the school, which the matrons or superintendents can fill out, describing the work that the inmate needs. Thesé cards are pré- sented at the entrance-of the college to a qualified examiner, who inves- tigates each plea for assistance. The free patient is assigned 'to one of the students, "Of course we have: peoplescome here," said one of the-demonste: 3 "who are capable of paying some- ing.

Have come for a Con- Jonker w lors an sdming Among promising new brought to the atiention Canada is Mr. J. pearance and personal magnetism, that subtle quality which was such an Haris factor in Sir John Mac- donald's ¢areer, and which is so sel- dom possessed by aspiring politicians. Mr. Armstrong -- handsome, distin- guished, jolly and kindly--is one of the best-liked men in Parliament; while among the 'sessional women' at Ottawa there is no more attractive personality than his wile. The Arm- strongs have rather held themselves back in Parliamentary circles hither to; but now that Mr. Armstrong has beeh accorded official position in his party, more will be heard of them. Mr. Armstrong is foriy-six years of age. and a native of York County, On:. His father was an Irish-Cana- dian, his mother an English woman. He i= an Englishman in appearance, and an Anglo-Irishman in character, being characterized by a keen sense of wit_and a dogged determination to carry out whatever he sels his mind upon. Mrs. Armstrong is a native of Chester, Pa., her lather, James Shelly Phipps, being descended from the old colonial family to which belonged the Admiral Phipps, who commanded the Anglo-Colonial expedition against New France, which retired somewhat in- gloriously from belore Quebec," when old Count de Frontenac sent back his answer to their challenge to surrender by the mouth of his cannon. Mr. Armstrong's chief business is the pro- | Petrolea), but besides his extensive interests. in that profitable industry he is a manufacturer, and also conducts farming of an extensive and scientific scale. He was unsuccessful in his first attempt to gain a seat in the House of ns, being defeated in the general elections of 1896.

Ernest Thompson Seton Appeals for Western Brutes. Ernest Thompson Seton, the famous | | Canadian naturalist. authof, and lec- | turer, spoke v8 | on "Animal Minds and recently eroes." Defining a hero as one endowed with' unusual gifts, and striking a in Wioni theories, one of which claims that an animal's mind is but a bundle of inherited .instinets, and its opposite, man inherited instinct cow reason. Mr. Seton said that his pur. vidual animals was to show to what height an animal eould rise and yet belong to the same species. "Ani- mals," said the speaker, "differ from man het in kind but in degree, and among animals the -'one which has Juivted a more variegated page on uman history perhaps than any He said that fifty of these the wolf." of at Jeast other is records served. Mz. Seton related the story of one le Rete, the giant wolf who %or four years terrorized France and was not captured until an army of 40.000 men vas set un his trail, and then only after a weary struggle lasting six weeks. The skin of this wolf was presented to King Louis, and was destroyed in the fire at the Tuilleries in 1871. Mr. Seton contrasted with this reign of terror the attitude of the modern wolf, educated through gun. powder to respect man. He said that the same change had come to pass in the relations of man with other animals, notably the grizzly bear, who now flees from even the scent of man. ' Coming to the story of the wolf war of 1886-6,7, Mr. Seton said before that time the grey woll had, finding ite prey the buffalo vanished, be- come a menace to the cattle on the ranges. The bounty of $5 tempjed many cowboys, the unsuspicious wolves were easy . victims of the poison and trap, and in those three vears fully 100,000 of the animals were killed. Mr. Seton himself was one of the band of wolvers, and he told of the cunning which finally hills too wary to be easily caught. Those who had not been taught from xperience, were taught by their fel- lows, who had learned to keep away from man, from poison, and from traps, and Mr. Seton said that this accounted for the fact that ** _ ye country in which 2 =gzirs ago the wolf was pract™"; exterminated, was again Travuully filling up, the wolves: no longer, however, being a iuen to man. Spedking of the theory of language among animals, the lecturer gave the three calls whose meaning he had recognized among the wolves, the long smooth rallying cry, the hunting ery exactly like that of a pack of hounds on the scent, and the savage exultant cry when the prey has been captured. r. Seton had with him a remark- able series of views, sonie of animals taken by the flashlight system and some of trees in the west. Most in- teresting of these latter was the photo of the tree which by the marks of the claws in the bark told the story of Wab's chase of the black bear. Another was of the sulphur pool where the grizzly hero took his baths and still another was of the canyon into which Wab wandered and died overcome by the poisonous gases. Mr. Seton remarked that the curious part of | this familiar story of Wab was that the very parts to which his critics took the most serious objec. tions were the parts for which he had proofs. Mr. Seton closed with an appeal for the protection and preservation of thése animal Napoleons who nev leave their Waterloo, but die fighting. Mails For the Far North.

As a result one of theses letters, telling all about the firm's Ability to handle firg insurance, was sent to the City Clerk of London, Ont, which corporation was building a solid ce ment bridge over the River Thames.

It was a good mamy years ago thai | old Hugh Monroe, whe for more than { 75 years had traveled the prairies of | the Northwest, told me that once he | had found a bird's mest in the thick hair between the hotns of a | "bull that he had killed. He bad two Indians with him, and had killed the | young bull, which the Indians were beginning to skin, and owt ap, and while they were doing this Ba some of the long hair from the fore- { head to use in wipihg out his gun. | As hé reached down and grasped the hair a little bird--a little gray bird-- flew out frem er his hand and away. Parting the hair to see whence it had come he found a round, smooth nest, containing four little ¥ birds. He could not tell what kind birds they were. Some time after, when I was siti in the lodge with my Indian er and elder brothers, principal chiefs of the Blackfeet, I spoke of this tale that | had been told me, and learned that all who were present had heard of just this . On-ei-ta-kau, the White Calf had known of one case of this kind where the bird was a hlack- bird but this he had not seen himself. Once, however, he did see the nest. of a snowbird, containing four eggs between the horns of a bull. Inquiry, followed by a careful snd detailed description, showed that the bird which the Blackieet call snowbird was the prairie shore lark. : After we had talked about this for some time E-kus-kini, the Low Horn, said to me: "My fr , I will now tell you something. Do you know that Neo-po-muki coupts the months of winter on his tongue." "This is it," said Low Horn. "In spring if you kill ope and open his mouth and lift up his e, you will find under the tongue, five other tongues, one tongue for each month in the winter. In the autumn he does not have these extra tongues. I do not know why he has them por what it means."

The Town of Melville, Sask. is proud of jeens thing" Ip MNiober, | 1907, thc first buika.ug went up, in «4% vinter of 1907-08 only 30 people comprised the population; now in 1910 Melville is an incorporated town with nearly two thousand citizens-- there's growth to be proud of. And she is proud of her streets and her fire-fighting appliances and of her municipal rink and of her $15,000 school; and mow, last of all, of her Union Church . There had been churches already. During the first summer church in Melville was the German Lutheran, a large centage of pe farmers being of. that creed. The Presbyterians and Methodists shelter- ed bere for a season in a guite preten- tious frame building with a tower. The & ish Charch was next in archi-~ tectural evidence, humble, with no tower and no stained glass. Followed the Roman Catholic, also humble in its size and quality, with its distin- guishing cross and the distinetion of having been erected in a shorter space of time than any of its fellows. The motives that led to the inauguration of the Union Church in November, 1909, were mostly common sense. The people wanted a good service and a good congregation and to be selisu porting. Also, 'they had the right man, v. Mr. Reid, from Ireland, liberal in views, kind, sympathetic and untiri Among the members are Methodists, Congregationalists, Baptists, Presbyterians and some Eng- lish Church folk. In doctrine and government, this Union Church has adopted that laid down by the joint committee of the C egational, Pres byterian and Methodist bodies. Melville lestly announces that she is going to show to the world--- the world, mind you--that where there is the spirit of toleration and goed cominon sense union can become & success. Two Kinds of Superintendent. Alike as two peas from the same pe are J. R. L Starr, KC, and 7. .E. Gillen, of the Grand Trunk. They are alike physically, both as to size and rance, even to the de- tail of facial contour. Both are superintendents. Mr. Gil- len is a GF Trunk superintendent. Mr. Starr is a superintendent, too, but not of a soulless corporation. This fact came out during recent Grand Trunk strike. Mr. Starr was going home on aTo- ronto street car. A striker and his, friend were on the same car. striker saw Mr. Starr's big form. "There's the superintendent," said the striker. "So he is, and Bathurst Street Meth- odist Sunday School never had a bet ter one." "What are you giving us?' demand- ed the railway naan. "Aren't you talking of Mr. J. R. La Starr, the lawyer?' asked the friend, in surprise. "I am not; I am meaning Gillen of the Grand Trunk." ab it was Starr just the same, Heindeers Rapidly Increasing.
