TEETH EXTRACTED TO MUSIC.
Music hath charms To soothe . • • Believing that more savage breasts are to be found in a dental surgery than is most other places, and that any "soothing" process is all to their good, Mr. A. G. Northnip, a dentist, of Poughkeepsle, New York, has installed a radiophone in his surgery. While his patients are therein they may suffer the dual tortu that is, enjoy the dual delights, of artistry and dentistry. A patient succumbs to gas to the strains of an Italian opera or a Brahms lullaby. The first thing he hears on recovering consciousness is "Something attempted, something done." Drilling and filling have no terrors when they are accompanied by "Look for the Silver Lining." One celebrated composer was so delighted at bearing one of his own compositions sung by means of the wireless telephone while In the dental chair that he could scarcely be persuaded to leave. The only danger seems te be that the composer of "I'm Goln' Back to Dixie" may attend fome day, and, hearing bis song, act on its motif before the dentist gets hie chance.
