TOOrH WASHES-On this subject the Ameri-
can Agriculturalist gives the following chapter
OF history:
Several years since. while at work at the
chemical laboratory. a man brought US little
vial holding half ounce, and bearing the fol-
lowing or n similar label
- Tooth WaSh-waTranted tO remove all dark
color. dc, &c, from the teeth immediately. and
give them pearly whiteness. 1t preserves the
teeth from decay. renders the breath sweet
prevents tartar from forming upon them and
being carried into the stomach, thus improves
the general health Of the system. 4 single vial
will last for years Price only 81 cents
We examined this valuable affair. and found
ii to consist only of water, with a little common
murIatc acid. thydrO-chlOric acid) Its only
action upon the teeth was 10 dissolve of a Dor
ton Of their surface, which of course removed
the dark coating. The continued use of this
wash would soon entirely eat away the teeth
Hnd destroy them. We estimated the cost OF
barrel full OF this wash to be about 40 cents
and that this would fill about 800 of the %
cent walls, at a cost Of about one cent for ono
hundred yials full. The cost of the yiaIs inclu
ding the labels and filling, was about one and
quarter cents each. This tooth wash peddler
offered US shining gold eagle to tell him how

1HE HAIR SNAKE.-This singular species of
animated nature. So readily explained by every
country child as the simple metamOrphosis of a
horse hair that CHANGED TO fall into water Is an
unSOvable enigma with naturalsts Science
has not satisfactorily determined either the
origin or the modes of existence of those animals
In reply to inquiries by correspondent of the
Michigan Farmer, who found a hair snake in a
pan Ot milk, Mr.. JuStuS Gage, of that State fur
nlShcS very interesting account of his expert
ments and observations. He is satisfied of the
fact that both the large and the small crcketS
deposit those snake in water during the month
of August; but whether the crickets resorts 10
the water to rid itself OF parasite or to deposit
natural product of its body he is unable to
determine. Mr.. Il. says that one mOrping after
he had experimental in his room by throwing
crlcketS into water to obtain snakes, and sue.
ceeded in procuring two, OF about four inches
In length, he noticed a black cricket crawling up
the side of his WATERFALL. 1t Jumped into the
water, lay quiet for moment, produced snake
nearly seven inches in length, and then nimbly
made ITS escape over the edge Of the pail lie
also found a live hair snake, nearly seven inches
III length, coied up in tho abdomen Of a dead
cricket, that lay on its back under fiat stone
The hair snake, he says, will live long time in
moist Garth, where he has found them of creyish
or white color, sometimes of great length and
much resembling the fibrous root of some verc.
table. When seen through a magnifyins glass
the hair snake presents an almost exact reSem-
bl lnce to the lamprey eel.
lady OF our acquaintance found n hair snake
10 her teakettle, one morning, flew years since
1t had been standing where a cricket might have
got IN by the spout; but she is hardly willing to
give UP the theory of her girlhood, that it was a
| vivihed horse-hair.
