CLEAN YOUR TEETH .

Few people are aware why teeth de-
cay. The rotting is caused by the pres
ence Of innumerable worms that collect
on the enamel and burrow into 1t. 1t
Is the masses of these filthy things that
make up the tartar, that is so foul and
disfguring to the teeth. They number
millions in q nasty month, and are so
minute that they cannot be seen by the
naked eye, requiring good microscope
to be seen in all their hideousness. They
are white and transparent. with nearly
the same conformation at both ends.
They seem to have joint in the mid
die, and are In perpetual motion. They
discharge an acid of some sort, which
combines with the lime of the enamel
and IL they are not cleaned away regu-
larry, they thus penetrate through the
very hard coating and get into the body
of the teeth; the acids of the food then
find entrance into the substance ofwhieh
the teeth are composed, and the sure
consequence is the misery of tOoshaeht
and the visit to the dentist, there to be
subjected to the internal processes o.
filing, plugging and extrscting-all o.
which might have been saved by littit
latteation to cleanliness. -

A JUDGE NOT no BE THRILLED WITH.

Our Police Judge, Putnam, believes all

sense /; therefore his rulings are general
ly sound, sensible and of q highly practi-
cal order, quite disgusting at times to

having been snubbed more or less by

We think the Chicago Republican il
about right when It says that Vsllan.
digham's new departure isn't 20 new
after all. 1t consists principally in
saying that the Democratic party il
very we'll aware that It has been on the
wrong track for ten years past, sna that,
therefore, all who are In favor of good
government will vote the democratic
ticket. Its most interesting feature Is
the magnAnlmity with which it propos-
Is to allow the republicans os Ohio To
vote Mr.. Vallandigham into the Senate.
This can hardly be called new depar-
ture. We have no doubt Mr.. Yallan-
digham would have displayed an equal
degree of magnanimity two years ago.
II he could have beaten Thurman by a
union OF democrats and "coRstitOotion-
loving" republicans, he would have
extended the right hand OF fellowship
on that suspicious occasion. IRdeed

POISONED by A POrArO BUG.

The WalwOrth County Independent,
published at Elkhorn, Wis, gives an
account of farmers daughter, living
near that place, who, while killing po-
tato bugs, was suddenly seized with a
violent pain in her finger, which soon
extended to her arm, and her arm be-
came swollen very rapidly. She went
to the house and physician was sent
for. When he arrived, some two hours
after, the arm was the color of mahog-
ony, and was swollen to fearful ex-
tent, the swelling extending to the
shoulder. Prompt remedies were APP
piled to relieve the poison, and the girl
is now recovering. She had a slight
sore on her finger, and the poison was
probably conveyed to the arm through
it. Many other cases of poisoning have
been reported, and the people should
be careful in dealing with the potato

Rev. j. S. Woodside, i'll a paper on
HindoO mythology, makes the follow
ing interesting statements: "The Hin
docs divide time into four grand peri
DDS called jugs. The first of these is
known as the Sat jug, or age of truth,
the golden age, which lasted for I,72S-
COO years from the beginning of time.
Next came the Treta jug, the silver age,
during which men began TO degenerate
from the holy and happy condition IN
which they had lived during the form
er period. 1t lasted I,296,009 years.
Next came the age of brass, or the
Dwapur-iug, the doubtful age, which
lasted 846, GOO years. During this peri
cd mans character assumed a vey1
doatbtfaa aspect but it remained for the
Kal-jug. the last, or iron age, in which
we live, to witness the total depravity
of the race. This last period, which is
said to have commenced about 2,l0l
years before Christ, is to last $4,000
years, at the end of which the world is
to be destroyed"

In Augustine Daily's great play, Gun
der the Gaslight," Laura CORTLAND ut
ters these beautiful sentiments: "Let
the woman you gaze upon be wise or
vain, beautiful or homely, she has but
one thing she can really give or refuse,
and that is-her heart. Her beauty,
her wit, her accomplishments, she may
sell you, but her love is the treasure
without money and without price. She
can only ask in return, that when you
look upon her, your eyes shall speak a
mute devotion that when you address
her, your voice shall be gentle, loving
and kind. That you shall not despise
her because she cannot understand, all
at once, your vigorous thoughts and
ambitious plans, for when misfortune
and evil have defeated your greatest
purpose-her love remains TO console
you. You look upon the tree of
strength and grandeur, do not despise
the flowers because their fragrance is
all they have TO give. Remember, love
is the only thing that n woman can
give-but it is the only thing which
God permits us to carry beyond the
grave"

THE DEMOCRACY OF IOWA.

A few days since the democracy oi
Iowa, In convention assembled, en-
dOrsed some resolutions published In
our daily edition Of Thursday which
should be carefully considered by the
democracy OF Kansas. They approach
as nearly to repnblicanism as il 10 pos
sible to do, and stilI avoid going fully
into the ranks. Any one who has read
those resolutions, and who has heard
the talk of Kansas democrats, woald
very naturally wonder what the real
difference IL between the two parties.
The republican party has accomplished
everything for the welfare of the gov
ment, and the democracy, when In con-
vention, assert that they are willing to
accept the situation" Vet very many
of their leaders and the great proper
ton Of their papers still stick to the or.
binary slang SO very common amongst
them. AS q rule they ignore the &C.
ton Of their conventions, and fall back
upon the old stock In trade, without
drawing any line OF dcmarcation be-
tween the parties.
1t is quite evident that these cOnVen-
tons with their usual ''clAp-trappery,'
are called mainly In the interest Of as
piring dead beats belonging to the par
ty. If there DO any 'sliVe issues" why
is il that Gin convention assembled,
ed" they fail to let thier followers
know what they are5 Instead Of do.
ing that they endorse tho action Of
the republican party, and then thereaf.
ter go forth, with the expectation Of
making converts, by using all manner
of silly and worse than childish twad'
die about the party which has preserv-
ed the government.
The Iowa democracy should stand tt
their resolutions and platform, and
thrust them upon their brethren of 9th
er states, because If they do, there viii
be hope of the balance of the ''outfit'
eventually catching up with the party
of progress.
