ROWLANDS ODONTO, or

Pearl Dentifrice, whitens the teeth, prevents and arrests decay, strengthens the gums, and gives a pleasing fragrance to the breath; it contains no mineral acid or gritty substances, and is especially adapted for the teeth of young children, being very pleasant to use.

Very recently, attracted by the notice which Prof. Loisette's
System has obtained, we paid a visit to his office, and made
an acquaintance with the details of his method. We then
heard sufficient of this system of forming an accurate,
powerful, and lasting memory to induce us to study under
Prof. Loisette. HIS METHOD IS PHYSIOLOGICAL AND
SCIENTIFIC IN THE HIGHEST DEGREE, and we can
recommend it as thoroughly worthy a trial.
A weak memory

is a source of perpetual irritation; ergo, the remedy for this
mental evil must likewise be conducive to good health and
absence of worry.'

Letter from the Rev. SAMUEL BELL, M.A. A.K.C., 15, Bessborough Street, St. George's Square, London, S. W., February 14th, 1883:

"DEAR SIR,-I have found your system of memory so valuable in my studies, clerical and literary, that I have determined to use it in the preparation of my pupils for the army.

"I therefore write to ask you, under what pecuniary conditions you will concede to me the right to teach it, it being understood that I will not interfere in any way to your injury, using the System only with those pupils who are reading with me for the army.

"I hope great things from it, and am anxious to learn the

allow that neither washes nor pastes can possibly

be as efficacious for polishing the teeth and keeping them sound and white as a pure and non-gritty tooth powder: such Rowlands' Odonto has always proved itself.

Avoid spurious imitations, and buy only ROWLANDS' ODONTO.

HENRY FREDERIC TURLE.

On Thursday, June 28, the anniversary of his cher's death, Henry Frederic Turle, Editor of tes and Queries, passed away from among us, the pages of that week's number had received eir final revision. Those of his friends who had en him but shortly before, full of life, and of erest in life and in his work, can even yet scarce lieve that they have lost him.

An "Old Westminster" by education as well as long residence and association, Henry Turle At strongly the historic attractions of the royal burch and college within whose precincts he had pent so many happy years. Very fitly, he lay in other church full of historic memories, the apel Royal, Savoy, before being taken to his thome in Norwood Cemetery. And no less y, in the case of one whose reverence for things cient was so deep, the service commenced by Dean of Westminster and the clergy of the roy was concluded at Norwood by a canon of estminster, Canon Prothero, a personal friend the late Editor of "N. & Q." Among those ho had known Henry Turle long and intiately, there followed him to Norwood-where lies with his father, known for such long

years to the musical world as the Organist of West minster Abbey-the publisher of Notes and Queries, Mr. John C. Francis, for whose father the late Editor had felt a very strong regard; the Organist of the Chapel Royal, St. James's, an old assistant of Henry Turle's father; the Editor of the Athe naum; and the Foreign Secretary of the Royal Society of Literature, who had been entrusted with the temporary charge of Notes and Queries last week.

Of such a one as Henry Turle, taken from among us in the full activity of his powers, it seems only possible to sum up his career in the words, "Consummatus in brevi, explevit tempora multa."

Our valued correspondent A. J. M. writes!"I ask leave to say a word, prompted only by private friendship and private sorrow, about the sad and sudden death of our genial Editor. His judgment and tact and temper in the conduct of N. & Q' were singularly fine and accurate, and the loss of them is grievous to us all. But there are many, and I am one of them, who will feel even more deeply than this. They will feel, as I do now, that they have lost a friend; a man whose hearty cheerful kindness and personal regard were always at one's service and were always welcome. His memory will live with that of 'N. & Q.,' which is no light nor trivial touch of fame.”

The information as to the leaders of the revolu

tion in South America is often interesting. Simon Bolívar, the "Liberator," had, it seems, a dislike of the Indian weed of which so many of his com patriots were votaries:

"After supper he encouraged a brisk circulation of the bottle; for although Bolívar was in general remarkably abstemious, he was far from being rigid in enforcing temperance at his own table. From thence cigars alone were banished, as (strange to say of a creole and a soldier) he had an unconquerable dislike to the smell of tobacco."-Vol. ii. p. 244.

The primitive character of the agriculture may be estimated from the following:
