TOOTH POWDERS.

looth powders, regarded rs means
merely of cleansing the teeth, assist greatly
in preserving healthy and regular condi-
ton of the dental machinery, and so aid in
perfecting as much as possible the act of
mastlcation. In this manner they may be
considered as most useful, although 1t is
true, subordinate medicinal agents. By a
careful and prudent use of them, some of
the most frequent causes Of early loss of
the teeth may be prevented; these are, tho
deposition of tartar. the swelling of tho
gums, and an undue acdity of the saliva.
The effect resulting from accumulation of
the tartar is well known to most persons,
and it has been distinctly shown that SWELL
ing of the substance of the gums will has
ten the expulsion of teeth from their sock
cts; and the action of the saliva, if unduly
acid, is known to be at least injurious, if
not destructive. Now, the daily employ
ment of tooth powder sufficiently ha:d,
to exert tolerable degree of friction upon
the teeth, without, at the same time, in
jnrlng the enamel Of the teeth, will, in
most cases, always prevent the tartar ac-
cumulating in such a degree as to cause
subsequent injury TO the teeth; and a
tlaccid, spongy, relaxed condition of the
gums may bo prevented or overcome by
adding to such tooth powder some tonic
and astringent ingredient. A tooth pow
der containing charcoal and cinchona bark,
will accomplish these results in most cases,
and therefore dentists generally recommend
such. Still there are objections to the use
Of charcoal; it is too hard and resisting,
its color is Objectionable, and it is perfectly
'nsoluLle 10y the saliva, it is apt to become
lodged between the teeth, and there to co.,
lect, decomposing animal and vegetable
matter, around such particles as may he
fixed in this position. Cinchona bark, too
is often stringy, and has bitter, .lisagrcea-
blc taste. M. Mialhc highly recommends
the following formula: Sugar of milk, 1000
parts; oil of mint, oil Of aniseed, and oil
of orange flowers, SO much as to ilnpart an
agreeable flavor TO the composition.
His directions for the preparation of this
tooth powder, arc, to rub well the lake
with the tannin, and gradually add the su.

and lastly, the essential oils are to be care.

OF the negroes under your charge. Bs
firm and at the same time gentle i'm YOUR
control. Never display yourself before
them in q passion; and even in nflic,in"
the severest punishment do so in mild,
cool manner, and it will produce a tcnfold
effect. When you find it necessary to use
the whip, (and desirable as it may be to
dispense with it entirely, it is necessary ut
timcs) apply it slowly and deliberately, and
to the extent you are determined in your
own mind to be nccdful before you begin.
The indiscrilnnate, constant and excessive
use of the whip is altogether unnecessary,
and inexcusable. When it can be done
without Il too great loss Of time, the stocks
offer means to punishment greatly to be
preferred. Never threaten negro, but if
you have occasion to punish, do so at once,
or say nothing until ready to do so. n vi
olent and passionate threat will often scare
the best disposed negro to the woods. AL
ways keep your word with them in punish
ments as we'll as rewards. Never forgive
that in one that you would punish in an
other, but treat all alike, showing no favor
itsm. Never be induced by course of
good behavior on the part of the negroes
to relax the strictness of your discipline,
but when you have, by judicious manage.
ment, brought them 10 that state, keep them
so by the same means. The only way to
keep negro honest is not to trust him.
This seems a harsh assertion, but it is UNI
: fortunately too true.
In conclusion, bear in mind that u fine,
crop consists first, in an increase in the
number and marked improvement in the
condition and value Of the negroes; second,
an abundance of provision Of all sorts for

The magnitude Of the paper business may
be conceived when we take into considcra.
tion that there are 75o paper mills in the
United States, employing 5000 engines,
and which produce annually at 10 cents per
pound. S27,0oo,0oo worth of paper. 10
manufacture this amount of paper requires
4o5,0oo,ooo pounds of rags, l IA pound
OF rags being necessary to produce one
pound of paper.
The value Of tho rags at the average of
cents per pound, amounts to slG,OoO,OoO,
to which, if the cost of making them into
paper, including l 81 cents to each pound
Of paper in labor, with wastage, chemicals,
&c., be added, would swell the cost to
S23, ,6o5 900 10 produce 27,OOO,OOO of pa
per, leaving net profits on the total manu-
tacture Of s3,375,OOO. For the year end
ing the 30h June. 1855, we imported
4o,oo3,5lG pounds Of foreign rags, from
twcnty-six different countries. Of this
amount, Tuscany, in Italy, supplied a.
100000 pounds. Two Sicilys 100000
Austria 100000, Egypt 2,44G,o2s, Tur-
key c,4G6,o2s. England 2,5ol,l7e. The
total value Of the 4O,oo3,5lG pounds i'm
ported was 81 ,225,15O.
The manufacture of paper has outstrippcd
the supply Of materials, and rope cuttings,
hemp waste, and other articles have been
resortcd to, but the supplies Of all have
been insufficient to meet the demand, and
prices have been steadily on the advance
1t is possible that the cotton fields of the
South may supply an almost incxhaus,ihlc

reach the great lesidcratum in modern civ
