If you wonld presefye yont teeth you
must Keep them clean. DR.. Dio Lewis
mas gone SO far as to say that teeth, If
perfectly clean, will never decay. Be
.thatfis It may, they are liable to decay,
1i HE cleansing process is neglected.
iIheteeth should be thoroughly cleansed
before retiring at night as weil.asin the
morning. No particle of food or for.
eign matter should be allowed to remain
between the teeth. Tho toothbrush.
with the bristles sufficiently stiff to ac-
eompltsh the purpose, should be used
IN a rotary MANNER, so that the brush
may have an upward and downward
movement. In this way the bristles
are inserted. between the teeth where
decay first makes its appearance, and
all particles of food are effectually re-
moved. Much injury is often done to
the teeth by the Vigorous use of a hard
brush, moving it from side to side
across the teeth, which cuts away the
investing membrane and causes the
gums to recede, leaving the bonT part
of the teeth exposed to the air and acid
of the mouth, when decay is an ineyft-
able consequences. Ifproper attention
should bo given to these simple direc-
tions, Indies and gentlemen wonId not
be Obliged to- calliupon their dentist so
frequently for the purpose of having
their teeth filed.
Joou I'0IUtterS are not necessary, and
frequently do injury. Camphor, and
various drugs, have been much abused
in this way. a gritty powder will cut
away the enamel of the teeth and ex-
pose them 10 decay. A suitable brush
and cold water are all that need be used
for cleansing the teeth.

Harvest with its pressing calls on tho
farmers time, is hero, and with IL has
come tllG temptations to over eNertiOn
and exposure which arc yielded TO every
year by largo numbers OF farmers, to
their serious injury Tile dlYs are
long and hot, with nights mono too long
for rest and sleep. Yet i'll the hurry
of the work, hours thai should be deVO-
ted 10 quiet rest, arc ofton spent in ex-
lIapstiVe labor. There is n false pride
among lnborers that often urges them
on when really unable to do their work
rather than admit that they have "giv-
en- out" In this way they sometimes
seriously injure their health. This is
especially true in the case of boys, or
very young men. A boy who at the
tiIined the size ofn full grown man,
goes into the harvest work. He rs al
lowed toldo this, or oven encouraged in
It, and, as consequence, lie either
gives out, or struggles on with culver
ing mnsGles and dizzy brain, doing his
allotted share of work, perhaps, but Mt

the careful farmer often acts much more
wisely with his young horses than his
bows. He does not allow the colts to
be tasked beyond their strength, and
when by accident this is done he expects
the results to be injurious. 1t can not
be doubted that many boys arc in
jured for life by oyer-work, and this
injury may be inflicted when quite
Young. The work done by the boy OF
twelve wears may bens tiEuing to- him
as that none by his full grown Brother,
and he is as much more liable TO injury
as his muscles IRE weaker and moro
unused to labor. The vital energies. in
youth are strong nrid active, and the
boy may be able to go through with his
work day after day, but at the end Of
the harvest he win be found dull and
spiritiess. Hurried eating, immediate
.ly followed by. hard labor, is q habit
which the pressure of harvest work
often induces. A mani in good health
and with strong constitution may moi
feel any bad effect from this y arse fol

edge of physiolog gtcal truths shows thai
its effects cannot but be pernimous
The ordinary work of the faTEa shouIe
