morning are completed. In some
cases the odOr arising from carious
teeth is combined with that of the
stomach. If the mouth be well
rims d with q teaspoonful of the So
luton of the coloride in a tumbler
Of water, the bad odor of the teeth

SORE MOUTH AND TONGUE.
Three drachms of borax, two of
sugar of lead. half an ounce of alum,
and pint of sage tea, viii cure a
sore mouth and tongue. It must be
used as q wash.
TOOTHACHR.
a correspondent of the English
Magazine gives the following curious
remedy: Put a piece of quick lime
as big as walnut in pint of water
IN bottle. Clean the teeth with a
little of it every morning, rinsing
the mouth with clean water after
wards. If the teeth are good, Will
preserve them and keep away tooth
ache; if the teeth are gone, it will
harden the gums so that they will
masticate crusts and all.
CoLoRs AND HEALTH.
There are some colors that no per-
son can be cheerful and elastic in
spirit, if their rooms are tinted
with them. A correspondent of a
scientific paper, the Builder, states
that he had occasion for several
years to examine rooms occupied by
young women for manufacturing pur-
poses, and that he had observed that
while the workers in the room would
be very cheerful and healthy, the
occupants of a similar room who
were employed on the same kind of
work, were all "inclined to meIan-
choly, and complained of pain in
the forehead and eyes, and were of
ten Ill and unable to work" The
only difference he could discover in
the rooms was that the one occupied
by the healthy workers was wholly
whitewashed, and that occupied by
the melancholy workers was colored
with yellow ochre.
As soon as the difference struck
him, he had the yellow ochre washed
off the walls and then whitened. At
oncs an improvement took place in
the health and spirit of the oceu-
piers. He pursuded his observations
and experiments not only in large
manufactures, but also in small apart
ments and garrets; and he invariably
found that the occupants of such
quarters, when they were colored
yellow or buff, were less healthy
than their neighbors in whitened
rooms, and that when the yellow
hue disappeared the low spirits and
the ill-health went with it.
SORE EYES.
The following receipt for the cure
of infamed eyes is given: ''Take a
potato, and after quartering it, CRATE
the heart as fine as possible, and
place the gratings between pieces of
cambria and muslin. Place the
poulice over the eyes iufamed, keep
1t there fifteen minutes. Continue
the operation three successive nights
and a perfect cure ensues." It is
worth trying by those afflicted with
sore eyes. It is also very strongly
recommended for burns.
WHAT Is INToxIcAyIoN?
tits poisoning with alcohol, wheth-
er in gin, rum, whisky, or wine. The
word 'intoxicate" is derived from
Latin and Greek, used to designate
the poison in which daggers and |
arrows were anciently dipped, in or
der to render their wounds fatal. |
When the poison of alcohol (and all |
leading chemists and Psychologists !
class alcohol among Ethe poisons) is
taken into the system, it seizes upon |
the brain, and, as already said,
TO the extent in which it is imbibed, |
it disqualifies it for service. Truth |
cannot then be properly weighed, |
duly estimated, or any great moral |
question clearly decided.-Herald Of |

HOW PRESERVE FRESH MEATS.
It has been found that fresh meats
may be preserved for months by |
placing around it cotton or spung |
a quantity of sulphuric |
ether, and sealing mp hermetically |
in tin boxes. It occurs, however, !
that the meat must become very |
much tainted from the close contract !
with the ether that must destroy its |
for domestic uses.
