Incompetent Dentists Are Liable to Damages for Their Bun- gling Work, The courts are taking cognizance of the competency or incompetency of professional men. A short time ago a New York tribunal held that a phy- sician was liable for unskillful or neg- ligent treatment of a patient and now the court of appeals of that state has rendered a decision holding a corpora- tion liable for unskillful dental v.ork This corporation, according to the complaint, represented that it carried on the practice of dentistry in con- nection with its other departments. The plaintiff, a woman, having under- gone treatment, sned for alleged re- sultant injury and received a verdict. Apparently the defense of the cor- poration was that the dental bosiness was not, in fact, carried on by it, but was owned by the dentist. But the ccurt held that the company, having held itself out as carrying on a dental depariment, and the plaintiff having been ignorant of the fact that the company was not the real owner of the denfal department, the corporatior was estopped from making such a de- nial. I'or, under the circumstances, the court said that the plaintiff had a right to rely not only on the pre- sumption that the company would em- ploy a skillful dentist as its servant, but also on the fact that if that serv- ant, the dentist, whether skillful or not, was guilty of any malpractice, she had a responsible party to answer therefor in damages. This amusing story is told by the president of a New Bedford bank, writes the Chatterer, in Boston Ier- ald. One day not iong ago he and other and dirccetors were en- gaged in a business meeting, held in officers the directors’ room of the bank. and as they believed themselves secure from they to see a poor little waif enter the rcom —something which any ness affairs would not dare to do un- der The little girl, shabbily clothed and pinched looking, had ls bidden ground, but this she didn’t real- | intrusion were much surprised man of busi- such conditions. all unconsciou entered on for- ize, and at once went to the men seat- ed about the big table, offering them small cakes of soap for sale.

About (three years ago a young women be- came subject to a form of hiccough {like the crow of a cock, which re- ; sisted treatment; soon after a second | began to hiccough like a cat mewing, cand in six months there were 60 women in the town affected with what may be deseribed as animal hie- coughs, exceedingly varied. Braying, barking, and sounds like those nade by the fox are included in the list. i Dr. Dimopoulos says that to be in a | room among a number of these women was like an experience of the forest or a menagerie. Some men are affected, but the victims are mostle women, which 1s intelligible if the doctor's theory is correct, that the disease, for which he vouches, is a form of imjtative hysteria.

The United Kingdom uses 33 74 lation, the United States comes next with 21, tons, Germany uses a little over 1v, tons per head.

Curious New Kind of Theater Which Is Immensely Popular in Cone tinental Europe, Living marionettes are now among | the most popular stage performers in some ol the provincial towns in Germany and France, as well as in i Paris and Berlin. | The performance begins with an overture, played on a phonograph, and after that a tiny actor appears and either sings or recites in the most approved fashion. Other actors and actresses follow, and oceasion+ ally an acrobat gives an exhibition of. rkill. Finally a farce or light | his teomedy, interspersed with § neces ! ' | | LIVING MARIONETTES. | (Queer Stage Effect Procuced by the Use | of Mirrors.) | | and songs, is given, and nothing could be more natural than the man- ner in which these gay little Thes- pians perforin their several parts. The explanation is simple. They are neither mechanical marionettes nor projections from a cinemato- graph, but real living beings, who, though concealed from the audience, are, nevertheless, distinctly visible through the reflection of a mirror. These persons are actors, and it is their motions that the spectators see. The phonograph does the rest, since it furnishes the words and the mu- sic, which seem to come from the mobile lips of the marionettes. The transformation of the livigsy actors into little creatures not larger than dolls is simply the result of their reflection in the mirror. Aec- i cording to the laws of optics the re- | duction of size is proportional to the I square of the distance between the living actors and the mirror, and, if ! the dimensions of the theater per- mitted it, spectators would be able | to see marionettes even smaller than i those now exhibited. A further re- { duction of size, however, is not desir- ( able, as it is evident that if the ma- rionettes were smaller than they are now the spectators would not be able to see the minor details distinctly, { and thus would naturally lose inter- est in them. “Not only from a theatrical, but i also from a scientific standpoint,” ! says M. Guy Kerlande, “this exhibi- | tion is most interesting, since it is a { genuine novelty and one which has been obtained in a simple manner by | putting to practical use one of the | well known laws of optics.” | MISS CAROLINE HAZARD. As an Educator This Talented Wome an’s Influence Is Being Felt All Over the Country, Miss Caroline Hazard, who succeed- ed Alice Freeman Palmer as president of Wellesley college, is a woinbn edu-* | cator whose influence is being felt in all educational circles. Miss Hazard is not herself a college graduate, but | she is a woman of the widest culture, "and she has always been in close touch Shall 1 have the | hen lay "em on the toast, sir2—Detroit Wellesley College.) | with college life. Her father is = { member of the corporation of Brown { university, and during her school days Hazard shared the semi-colle- privileges given to women at jrown university. Extensive travel and reading combined with naturally great intellectual ability have made Miss Hazard capable of fill- ing with great credit the position she occupies as president of one of the largest and most important education- titutions in America. In June of vear 1899 the University of Michi- 1 conferred upon Miss Hazard the” degree of M. A. and in the same year Brown university gave her the degree of Lit. D. A woman of commanding dignity, combined with great intel- lectual ability, Miss Hazard is still a woman in gentleness and gracious- ness. and the “Wellesley girls” find in her a wise and sympathetic guardian while they are under her care. : ate wide
