LADY DENTISTS IN FRANCE.
Dontistry is now an accepted and often fburishiog profession of women in France. "In a country town of Seinc-et-Marne, near which 1 am staying," writes a correspondent to an English paper, " a qualified young lady'dentist enjoys the monopoly of tooth-drawing, a dentist's businsss in provincial France, consisting of little else. French countryfolk, even of the wealthier sort, rarely, if ever, indulge in a set of false teeth ; when they loose their own they got on as best thoy can without. But an aching tooth which interferes with business must go, and the cost of extraction is within the reach of all. Two francs is the modest fee for a consultation of the young lady just named and she is said to be exceedingly dexterous in handling the forceps. But, then Frenchwomen are the most dexterous creatures in the world, let them put their hand to what they will."
