The mystery, the true marvel, lies in
the faculty with which nature endows the
Bird OF rendering itself light or heavy at
lis will, of admitting more or less air into
It's expressly constructed reservoirs.
Would it grow light, it initiates its dimen-
sion, while diminishing its relative weight;
by this means it spontaneously ascends
in medium heavier than itself To de-
scend or drop, it contracts itself, grows
thin and small; cutting through the air
which supported and raised it in its for
mer condition. But this faculty, this
rapid inhalation or expulsion of air, OF
swimming with ballast variable at plea
sure, whence does it proceed? From an
unique, unheard-of power of respiration.
The man who should inhale similar
quantity of air ut once would be sufiocated.
The birds lung, elastic and powerful,
quafis it, grows iull oft, grows intoxicated
with vigor and delight, pours il abun-
dainty into its bones, into its aerial cells.
Each aspiration is renewed, second after
second, with tremendous rapidity. The
blood, ceaselessly vivified with fresh air
supplies each muscle with that inexhaust-
ible energy which no other being possess
es, and which belongs to the elements

CARE OF THE TEETH.

The best and safest tooth-wash in the
world is tepid water. There is not a
tooth-powder in existence, or tooth-wash
that does not inhict physical injury TO
the teeth, and promote their decay. Each
dentist has n powder Of his own, which he
sells at thousand per cent. profit, which
he may honestly imagine will do posi-
tive good without any injury whatever;
but he is mistaken. The teeth were never
intended to be pearly white. Every in
teligent dentist knows that the wlIiter
the teetu are, the sooner aud more GER
tain they will decay; he also knows that
those teeth are the soundest, last the
longest, and are the most useful, which
have yeilowish tint; then why provide
powders TO take off this yellowish sur
face?
1t is useful to wash the teeth once n
week with white soap, making the mouth
as full as possible with "lather," so as to
be close 10 every particle OF every tooth
for few minutes; because the tartar on
the teeth is the product OF living thing,
which is instantly killed with soap suds.
A few persons have another living thing
about the teeth not affected by soap, but
which is Instantly killed with salt; hence
each person is advised to wash the teeth
with white soap once week, and once
week with salt.
The teeth should be washed with stiff
brush every morning on rising by dipping
it once in the water and rubbing the teeth
slowly front and rear from side to side, and
finally twisting the brush SO that each
bristle shall act as n tooth-pick at the join
ings of the teeth, so as the more thor
oughly to dislodge anything which might
remain in the hollows between the ridges.
The water in the brush combines with
the saliva in the mouth, and by its great
softness, makes one OF the best solvents in
nature for any eXtraneous substance
about the teeth. The teeth should be
brushed Immediately after each meal with
soft old brush. with plenty of water,
twisting it up and down as before. After
each washing, the brush should be placed
far back on the tongue and turned from
side to side, so as to clear off the tongue;
this does much towards freeing the teeth
from the odor of the last thing eaten.
Ifpersons would brush their teeth well
Immediately after the last meal of the
day, instead of putting it of until bed
time, the teeth would be clean four or
five hours more in the twenty-four, which
is not slight advantage.
1t is unnatural, absurd, and unphilo
sophical to have the teeth separated with
saw, or frequent picking, or by threads

bic of air rising to the surface. This IS
one Of the plants you may depend upon
for air in the aquarium. There are quite
a variety Of them and any plant which
grows entirely beneath the water will
serve your purpose. You will notice, too,
a number ofsmall plants floating on the
water, for example the weeds. These
will also assist in keeping the water pure.
Their roots are very slender, and come
out from the under side of the leaf, some
times being less than one-half inch long.
We have seen that the fish need air,
and that is supplied in the water by the
plants which grows submerged and by
those which float upon the surface.
We must now provide against the de-
cay of the plants, for it is only in
healthy growing state that they supply
the needed air. When the leaves decay
they render the water impure, and if al
lowed to remain will cause the speedy
death OF our little pets.

As she stood there her jewelled hands

wistfully upon the little time piece, the
Countess Reene looked fair, very fair.
Her hair. which was black and glossy,
rippled away in heavy shining waves
from her white forehead, and was bound
in one massive knot behind while soft
pearls interminsled here and there, re-
lieved its sombre gloom. Her dark eyes,
dull and languid now, yet revealed with
in their slumbrous depths that which told
that excitement could bring the needed
sparkle. Her robe was of rustling rose
tinted silk, while long train OF dark
crimson velvet, bOrdered with silver lace,
fell from her faultless waist in heavy
graceful folds, according well with her
tall, stately figure and royal air.

sinking into a chair, She covered her face
with her hands and wept bitterly, as
though her heart were breaking. But
soon rising, she impatiently dashed
away the tears, eXclaiming; "Shall |,
whom men call the icy countess'-appear
before myguests with red eyes, and tear
stained face? No; will not weep"
At this moment, low knock sounded
upon the door, and a servant in gor-
