Reasons FOR KEEPING THE TEETH CLEAN.
AT a meeting ofthe American Academy, De-
cember, 1913, a paper was read by DR.. II. J.
Bowditch, on animal and vegetable parasites
infesting the teeth. with the effects of differ
ent agents in causing their removal and destruc.
ton. Microscopical examination had been
made of the matter deposited on the teeth and
gums of more than forty individuals, selected
from all classes of society, in every variety of
bodily condition and in nearly every case ami
NAL 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 per-
sons whose mouths were found to be complete
" free from them, cleaned their teeth four times
daily, using soap once. One or two of these
individuals also passed a thread between the
teeth to cleanse them more effectually. In all
cases the number of parisities was greater in
proportion to the neglect of cleanliness. 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 cholorine tooth wash, of
pnlverized bark, of soda, ammonia, and various
other popular detergents. The application Of
soap, however, appeared to destroy them ill.,
stantly. We may hence infer that this is the
best and most proper specific for cleansing the
teeth. In all cases where it has been tried, it
receives unqualified commentator. It may,
also, be proper to add, that none but the pure
white soap, free from all discolorations, should
be used.

The CONDITION OF THE INsAEE.-A day or
two since, we were present in the First Dis
trict Cont, when Judge Larue passed On the
insanity of a poor maniac, and ordered him to
be sent to the Asylum, at Jackson. Gen Lewis
informed the Judge that he had been notified
by the officers of that institution, that they had
no accommodations for any more. This unfor-
tunate man, and other poor wretches, who have
neither money nor friends, must be confined in
the jails Of the State. They are to be treated
as felons. The parish prison of New Orleans
bids fair to rival Bedlam. Aside from the bar
barity to the %lunatics, it is inficting a cruel and
unusual punishment on the other inmates Of
the prison, to force them to remain in close
proximity to bowling desperate maniacs. The
parsilnony ofthe Legislature, in this respect, is a
disgrace to the State.-Crescem.

u The following, says the Boston Trans
cript, is a description of the new dress, as worn
by Miss Burleigb, the. daughter of the poet,
who is in attendance at some Of the anniversa-
ries: "A gypsy hat, trimmed with white ribbon,
and a black veil over it. A tunic of pink,
rich material, reaching to the knees, covering
the shoulders, fitting snugly around the neck
and waist, and further secured by a belt, fast.
ened in front by an ornamental buckle. Below
the buckle the skirt is whole, and a row of but
tons runs from the throat to the belt. The
trousers are of the same material and color as
the tunic, somewhat in the shape ofan invert-
ed pyramid, and fastened with a binding
around the top of a snugly fitting lace kid
boot"

A snorer's Troubles.

The Philadelphia Pennsylvania has a repor'
ter who is continually picking up or making up
extremely funny police reports. Here is one
of them which we find under the head OF
"A Snorer's Troubles"
A pale, melancholy looking man, of forty or
thereabouts, was brought up on the too CON-
mon charge of sleeping out of doors. He did
not look like a person of incorporate habits,
and the Waterman inclined to the belief that
he was not drunk at the time he was detected
in the offence Of sleeping on the pavement
At the request of the Mayor, the prisoner told
his story, and the following is an outline of
the singular narrative:
envy namc," said he, "is Moses White. |
am an innocent ihan. My misfortune all arose
from a habit over which | have no control. 1t
is sometimes said mockingIy Of boys, that they
are very good when they are asleep That
observation never could apply to me, for it
was during my hours of slumber that | always
gave most offence to my friends, relations, ac-
quaintances and n%eighbors. Not to keep YOU
in suspense, venerated sir, | snored-hideously,
horribly, systematically. The combined rack
ct of three saw-mills and FIVE cotton factories
could not compare with the frightful din pro-
duced by the passage Of the dir through my
breathing apparatus, while [ refreshed myself
with tired natures sweet restorer.' At the
age of eighteen, my father turned me out Of
doors, declaring that such yillalnous snoring
could not be permitted in any well regulated
family.
"After years Of adversely and vicissitudes, l
succeeded in establishing myselfin a very good
business. :! paid my addresses to a lovely
CIR, welded her, and-alas! the gentle crea-
ture never complained, but ], wretch that am,
knew what was wasting her away! Sir, it is
horrible, but the truth must be told my un-
happy young wife was snored TO death! |
married again. and after a three weeks of night
ly torment, my second spouse sued for a d.
yorce. She obtained one, by proving that it
was impossible for a woman to sleep in the
house which | inhabited. | sold my furniture
and took lodgings; but / never could remain in
any boarding house or hotel more than one
week. My fellow dodgers, harrassed by my
nocturnal discord, always arose en- masse, and
insisted on my expulsion. Thus was | hunt
ed from all sleeping associations, and was CON-
strained ct last to take my solitary nap with no
roof but the cope of heaven over my head. But
my fate had not done with me yet-for while
[ was sleeping in a private street last night, my
snoring was so tremendous that it awakened
this Waterman, who was doing on a bench
half a square off. When, they brought me to
the station house, l snored the whole police
force into a kind of delirium tremens; and if
your honor sends me to the Tombs, I~verily be-
lieve that my snoring will produce a fatal cpl.
demic among my fellow prisoners"
He uas sent TO the Tombs, Notwithstanding.

A SINGULAR IrvENTIoN.-One of the most
singular mechanical inventions displayed at the
Worlds Fair, is the model Of a man by Count
Dannin. It represents the figure of a man FIVE
feet high in the proportions of the Apollo, and
from that size, the figure can be increased Al
all its compartments to six feet eight inches.
It is intended to facilitate the clothing Of an Al.
my ; and it is so ingenious that the Emperor
pardoned and recalled Count Dannin, whoeis 4
Pole, on seeing this result of many years labor
and ingenuity. The number of pieces compo.
sing this model is 1000,

4th of July, 1881.

This eventful and glorious anniversary, mol
only in the history of this country, but of the
world, is near at hand, and we sincerely hope
that some demonstration will be made by oui
citizens, as an evidence that the patriotic feel.
ings which its advent naturally gives rise to
in the breast of every true hearted American,
are not growing dim, or diminishing in fervor as
time advances. More particularly than at any
other period within our memory is it necessa-
ry that the Union loving class ofthe country
(and we are sorry to acknowledge any other
class) should celebrate this hallowed day, this
year, with increased animation and enthusiasm.
In every neighborhood, village and city, be-
tween both oceans of our land, we trust this
day will be hailed with joyous acclamations'
that those in the old world, who are looking
on with delight at our family discussions, may
have a shade of doubt cast over their beaming
countenances. And not only abroad, but at
home. to exhibit to fanatic and scheming poll
%ticians, the false reckoning they have made of
the sense and patriotism of the people.
"IlcTcScT lHcTc Is q CAlOl HILL IL VIC SoulA
wherever there is an American citizen whose
mind is sufficiently enlarged and enlightened
to be proud of that spot as his native laud
where floats the stars and stripes which have
so often waved victorious over tyranny and
power-he should give a clear and unmistakable
evidence of his feelings on this day now so
near at hand.
Will our citizens, then, enter at once upon
some measures for celebrating the 4th? A
Barbecue and Ball would be an excellent idea,
and as the Wing and Democratic nominations
will doubtless be made before that time, it will
be an excellent opportunity for candidates to
express their views upon all general subjects
towards which they are favorable, and to what
extent they feel themselves bound to support
the Union compact. If we have any know
ledge whatever of the sentiments of the peo-
pie, We think we can say with certainty that
no man could be elected to any Office here who
was not, from the hair of his head to the bot
tom Of his feet, uncompromisingly for the
Union-now and forever!
Thus, we have done our duty in speaking of
and recommending the celebration of the 4th,
in a fitting manner, to the notice of our read
ers-it remains for them to take further steps
in the matter. A meeting should forthwith be
called, an orator of the day appointed, and
other necessary matters arranged.

Although these works are distinguished by
the political shades above Indicated, yet but a
small portion of their contents is devoted to
political subjects. 1t is their literary character
which gives them their chief value, and in that
thew stand confessedly far above all other Jour-
nails of their class. Blackwood, still under the
mastery guidance of Christopher North, main
tains its ancient celebrity, and is at this time,
unusually attractive, from the serial works of
BuIwer and other literary notables, written for
that magazine, and first appearing in its col
umns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Cations" and
any New Novel; (both by Bulwer,) "My Pen
insular Medal" "The green Hand" and other
serials, of which numerous rival editions are
issued by the leading publishersi in this country,
have to be reprinted by those publishers from
the pages of Blackwood, after Hhas been issued
