SOMETHING ABOUT TEETH.-Why do
some peoples teeth come out more readily
than others? The reasons for this are prob
ably many. About the middle of the last
century Peter Kahn, a Swede, visited Ameri-
ca, and wrote scnsibly about what he saw.
He observed a..frequent loss of teeth among
settlers from Europe especially women. Af.
ter discussing and rejecting many modes of
explanation, he attributed it to hot tea and
other hot beverages and came to general
conclusion that shot feeders lose their teeth
more readily than cold feeders" Mr.. Catlin,
who some years ago ohad an interesting exhibi-
tion of Indian scenery, dresses, weapons &c :,
noticed that North American Indians have
better teeth than the whites. He accounts
for the. Offence in this strange way-that the
reds keep the mouth shut, whereas the whites
keep it open. The teeth, he says require
moisture to keep their surfaces in good work;
in order; when the mouth is open the mucous
membrane has tendency to dry up, the
teeth lose their needed supply Of moisture,
and thence come discoloration, toothache,
ticdouloureux, decay, looseness, and eventual
loss of teeth. Mr. Catlin scolds the human
race generally for being less sensible than the
brutcs in this respect, and the white race
especially in comparison with the red We
keep our mouths open far too much; the
Indian warrior sleeps, hunts and smiles with
his mouth shut, and respires through the
nostrils. Among the virtues attributed by
him to closed lips, one is cxcellent-when
you arc angry, keep your mouth shut.
