REASONS FOR KEEPING THE TEETH CLEAN
AT meeting of the American Academy, De-
cember, l84S, paper was read by DR.. H. j.
Bowditch, on the animal and vegetable parasi-
ties infesting the teeth with the effects of diff
ferent agents in causing their removal and
destruction. Microscopical examinations had
been made of the matter deposited on the teeth
and gums of more than forty individuals, Sc
lected from all classes of society," in every va
riety Of bodily condition; and in nearly every
case animal and vegetable parasites in great
numbers had been discovered OF the animal
parasites there were three or four species, and
OF the vegetable one or two. In fact, the only
persons whose mouths were found to be com
pletely free from them, cleaned their teeth four
times daily, using soap once. One or two of
these individuals also passed q thread between
the teeth to cleanse them more effectually. In
all cases the number of the parasites was
greater in proportion to the neglect of cleanli.
ness. The effect of the application of various
agents was also noticed. Tobacco juice and
smoke did not impair their vitality in the least
The same was also true of the chlorine tooth
wash, of pulyerized bark, of soda, ammonia
and various other popular detergents. The ap
| plication of soap, however, appeared to destroy
them instantly. We may hence infer that this
is the best and most proper specific for cleans.
ing the teeth. In all cases where it has been
tried, it receives unqualified commendation.
1t may also be proper to add, that none but the
purest white soap, free from all dscolorations
should be used.

THE USEFUL MORE ENDURING THAN THE BEAU
TIFUL.-The tomb of Moses is unknown; but
the traveller slakes his thirst at the well of
Jacob. The gorgeous palace Of the wisest and
wealthiest of monarchs, with the cedar, and
gold, and ivory, and even the great Temple of
Jerusalem, hallowed by the visible glory of the
Deity himself, are gone; but Solomon's reser-
voirs are rs perfect rs ever. OF the ancient
architecture of the Holy City, not one stone is
left upon another; but the pool of Bethesda
commands the pilgrims reverence at the present
day. The columns of Persepolis are moulder-
ing into dust; but its cisterns and aqueducts
remain to challenge our admiration. The gold
en- house of Nero is mass of ruins; but the
Aqua Claudia still pours into Rome its limpid
stream. The Temple Of the Sun in Tadmor, in
the wilderness, has fallen; but its fountain
sparkles as freshly in his rays as when thou
sands of worshippers thronged its lofty colon
nades. 1t may be that London will share the
fate of Babylon, md nothing be left to mark
Its site save mounds Of crumbling brickwork.
The Thames will continue to flow as it does
now; and if any work of art should still rise
over the deep ocean of time, we may well be-
lieve that it will be neither palace nor q tenn
pie, but some vast aqueduct or reservoir; and
If any name should still flash through the mist
of antiquity, it will probably be that of the
man who in his day sought the happiness of his
fellow-men rather than their glory, and linked
his memory to some great work of national
utility and benevolence. This is the true glory
which outlives all others, and shines with un.
dying lustre from generation to generation, i'm
parting to works something Of its own immor.
tality, and in some degree rescuing them from
the ruin which oyertakes the ordinary monu.

THE IVORY TRADE.-Few persons have an
idea of the value and extent of the importations
of ivory into Southampton, principally from
Alexandria, by the Peninsular and Oriental
Company's steamers. The demand has greatly
increased during the last few years; and al
though the supply has been considerably aug
mented, it is not equal TO the demand The
tusks and pieces (nearly 5000 in ally brought
here by the Ripon on her last voyage were
lately sold by public auction in London, and
readily realized from 1Ss. to 25s. per pound,
the whole producing nearly e25,0 900, the greater
portion of which was paid down Immediately, a
discount of q per cent. being allowed for cash,
but the payment is not extended beyond one
month from the day of sale. 1t appears that
large quantities of tusks which have been from
time to time shed by wild elephants are found
in the deserts Of Arabia. These are brought up
principally on account Of the pasha of Egypt,
and then transmitted to England for SALE Some
of the teeth imported in the Ripon were of this
class, and in an advanced state of decay, such
as it must have taken centuries to produce

Philosophical Instrument manufactory, few
weeks since, where he was shown the Lords
Prayer engraved in space about the size of

My son, would you suppose that the Lords s
Prayer could be engraved in a space no larger
than the area Of half-dime?'
"Well, yes, father; if half-dime is as large
in every body's eye as in yours, think there
would be no difficulty in putting it on about
