MUST DO THEIR WORE WELL.
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

Asin Minor,
| Dr. Dimopoulos, a medical practi-

particulars of an “epidemic among
women of that town, which has prob-

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

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

i LIVING MARIONETTES.
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+

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.”

Hazard shared the semi-colle-

and reading combined with
naturally great intellectual ability
have made Miss Hazard capable of fill-

occupies as president of one of the
largest and most important education-
titutions in America. In June of
