TEETH MENDING IN CHILE.
Not an Easy Matter For Foreign Den
tists to Practice There.
Not every foreigner who comes along
with the claim of being a dentist cun
practice that profession in Chile. The
government secs to it that any one
who is to look after the health and
preservation of the teeth of its people
must tirst demonstrate his quaiiflea
lions.
Tlia, law provides that before a li
reuse may be grunted a foreigner to
practice dentistry in tlie country the
applicant must secure permission frou
Hie rector of the University of Chile in
take the examination. Ills foreign di
ploma. duly certified and authenticat
ed, must be attached to the permit, and
a fee of 500 pesos (about $75 in.United
States money) must be deposited for
the license in the office of the seen
tary of the university. If the applicant
passes the examination successfully the
license is issued, aud he (s authorized
to opeu his office for business.
Any applicant who holds a dental
diploma from a school not known 01
recognized by the Chilean authorities
is ret uired to complete the third year’s
work of the dental department of the
University of Chile and must also pass
a satisfactory examination before be
can obtain a license to practice.—Pan

Warning Before Command.
In bringing up my children I found
that at night when they were tired
they were spared many tears by being
warned before I gave them a strict
command. Instead of saying “Now It
is time to go to bed. Put away your
blocks at once,” I would say: “It is
nearly time to go to bed. Finish your
hQuqe first and then put away your
blocks.” in this way the children were
fully prepared to go, and there wjs
consequently no begging and no temp
tat Ion for me to show my lack of firm
ness l>y being persuaded to allow them
to build “just one more house.”
Imagine a mother in the midst of an
absorbing chapter being told by one in
higher authority to put down her book
at once and go to bed. Would it not
save a frown of impatience to be told
to finish the ebapter first?—Harper’s
Razar.
A Mummy’s polln ...{|, ,Mi;
Among the ancient objects exhibited
In the British museum is a doll more
than 3,000 years old. When some ar
chaeologists were exploring an ancient
Egyptian royal tomb they came upon
a sarcophagus containing the mummy
of a little princess seven years old.
She. was dressed and interred in u
manner befitting her rank, and in. her
arms was found a little woodep doll.
The inscription gave, the name, rank
and age, of the little girl .and the date
of her death,'but It said nothing about
the quaint little wooden Egyptian doll.
This, however, told its own story. It
was so tightly clasped In the arms of
the mummy that it was evident that
the child had died with her beloved
doll In her arms.
