KEEPING THE TEETH CLEAN-Micro-
scopal examinations have been made
of the matter deposited on the teeth
and gums of more than forty individ-
uals, selected from all classes of soci-
city, in every variety of bodily condi-
ton and in nearly every case animal
and vegetable parasites in great num-
bers have been discovered. Of the
animal parasites there were three or
four species-of the vegetable one or
two. In fact, the only persons whose
mouths were found to be completely
free from them, cleanscd 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 cffectually. In all cases
the number of parasites was greater
in proportion to the neglect of cleanli-
ness. The effect Of the application of
various agents was also noticed. To-
bacco juice and smoke did not injure
their vitality in the least The same
was true of the chlorine tooth wash,
Of pulverized bark, of soda, ammonia,
and various other popular detergcnts.
The application of soap, however, APP
pcared to destroy them instantly.
We may hence infer that this is the
best and most proper specific for
cleaning the teeth. In all cases where
it has been tried, it receives unquali-
lied commentator. 1t may also be
proper to add that none but the purcst
white soap, free from all discoloration,
should be used.

A man who is very rich now, was
very poor when he was a boy. When
asked how he got his riches, replied ::
My father taught me never to play
till all my work for the day was fin
ished, and never to spend money till !
had earned it. If l had but half an
hours work to do in day, must do
that the first thing and in half an
hour. After this was done, | was al
lowed to play and l could then play
with much more pleasure than if |
had the thought of an unfinished task
before my mind. ! early formed the
habit of doing everything in its time,
and it soon became perfectly easy to
do so. 1t is to this habit that l now
owe my prosperity

BoLr OF FIRE.-As the New York
and Worcester train connecting with
the steamer Commonwealth was pass
ing Natick the other day, ball of
lightning as large as the two fists of
a man descended, ran along the tele-
graph wire, and exploded with re-
port as loud as cannon. The wire
was consumed, and the posts within a
space of half a mile were shivercd
from top to bottom. The passengers
on the train were greatly alarmed, as
the ball of fire was all the time in
sight, and the explosion seemed as if
beneath the cars. Had the train been
under the wire, it must have been
