EXTRACTING T. THE TEETH OF YOUNG
PERsoNs.-Unless they become extreme
ly painful it is best to allow nature to
conduct the process Of shedding the
first set of teeth. It would occupy
too much room in this paragraph to
give q reason for this advice. There
fore receive it as true without hesita-
ton. When the second set are devel-
oping it is common practice of sorss
dentists to- extract one somewhere in
order to give more room for others,
which are said to be crowding. That
is serious mistake not to Be perpe-
trated. If one is removed, the Jaw ut
once stops growing, and the result is Z
very different expression from what the
individual would have had provided all
the teeth and jaw were harmoniously
developed together. In consequence
of that sort Of unphilosophical inter-
ference with the law Of dentition, one,
Jaw or the other is smaller than itwould
have been. The whole character Of the
face becomes altered. Even distin=Ss
speech is sometimes impaired IL that
way When carries takes place aftsr No
teeth have completed their growth,
they may be removed with less damege
to facial expression. ,ae. tx,

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN WYOMING. Much
has been written about the failure of
woman suffering in Wyoming. But
Rev. Josiah Strong writes to the Com
g'egationalist that the experiment has
thus far proved fairly successful. It
has resulted in no distur oance, i'm
proved the order of the polls, raised
The price of liquor license from $50 to
Sl2O each, and diminished the number
OF drinking places i'll Cheyenne nearly
forty per cent. The women have served
crelitably in various offices. The ex-
pertinent is still in the early age of it's
trial, we admit; but so far as it has
gone it has proved n complete success
and converted hundreds of its original
opponents into its ardent supporters.

DIFFERENT KINDS OF EYEs.-No branch
of science has been more thoroughly
mastered than optics The principle
of vision must be essentially the same
in all eyes, but they differ remarkably,
according to the habits os the animals
Birds of lofty fight, as the condor,
eagles, vultures and carrion seeking
prowlers of the feathered race have tel
escopic vision, and thus they are ena-
bled to look down and discover their
unsuspecting victims. As they ap-
proach noiselessly from above, the axis
of vision changes-shortening, SO that
they see just as distinctly within one
foot of the ground as when at an ele-
vation of one mile in the air. This
fact explains the balancing of fish
hawk on its pinions half mile above
still pond watching for fish. When
one is selected down the savage hunter
plunges, the focal axis varying with the
square of the distance, giving the
hawk distinct view of its intended
prey always. As they ascend, then the
axis is elongated by curious muscular
arrangement SO as to see far again.
Snails have their keen eyes at the ex-
tremity of flexible horns, which they
can protrude or draw in at pleasure.
BY winding the instrument round the
edge of leaf or small stalk, they
can see how matters stand on the op-
posite side. The hammer-h headed shark
has its wicked looking eyes nearly two
feet apart. By will effort they can
bend the thin edgings Of the head On
which the organs are located, so as to
examine two sides of an object the
size of fully grown Goldfish .Oi'H u
Flies hove immovable eyes. Instead
of being smooth hemispheres, they
have an immense number of facets, re-
sembling old fashioned glass watch
seals, each one directed to the optic ret
ena. That explains why they cannot
be approached in any direction without
seeing what is coming uIan.,9

SANTA Cruz BECOMING DEsERT.-
The influence of trees upon rain and
the general moisture of the atmosphere
which has been much discussed of late,
receives strong illustration from the
island of Santa Cruz, West Indies. A
friend who spent the months of Febru-
ary, March, and April last upon the is
land, says that when when he was
there twenty years ago the island was a
garden of freshness, beauty, and fertil-
ity; woods covered the hills, trees were
everywhere abundant, and rains were
profuse and frequent. The memory of
it's lovelinness called him there at the
beginning of the present year, when, to
his astonishment, he found about one
third of the island, which is twenty
five miles long, an utter desert. The
forests and trees generally had been
cut away, rainfalls had ceased, and q
process of dessication beginning at one
end of the land had advanced gradually
and irrisistibly upon the island, until
for seven miles it is dried and desolate
as the sea shore. Houses and beauti-
full plantations have been abandoned,
and the people watch the advance of
desolation, unable to arrest it but know
ing almost to certainty the time when
their own habitations, their gardens
and fresh fields, will become part of
the waste. The whole island seems
doomed to become desert. The in
habitants believe, and my friend con-
firms their opinion, that this sad result
is due to the destruction of the trees
upon the island some years ago.-Pop-

The rush of Americans Ito Europe,
it is prophcsied, will be greater than
ever next Summer.
The two new dress materials for
Spring wear are India camel's hair and

The new Trianon fans, besides being
very stylish, are extremely comfortable
and effective as zephyr compellers.
Long trains are now worn only for
occasions of great economy. For or
dinary evening dress the demi-train is
in favor.
The latest revival of an old fashion
is the tight Medicis sleeves with great
puff Mt the shoulder, such rs one sees
in old paintings.
There is a srrong movement on foot
in society to make the hours of social
entertainments earlier. There is no
good reason whatever for the late hours
kept by society, and they are ruinous
to health.
If you are about to accompany a
young lady to party, it is trifing with
her feelings and abusing feminine con-
1iience to inquire anxiously what color
she intends to wear and then neglect
sending her bonnet.
A youth returning home from large
dinner party was SO very tired that on
getting inside the outer door of his pa

the night there. He took the precau-
ton of putting his boots outside to be
cleaned. He has missed them ever
since.

GROWING OLD.-Do we notice how
much more rapidly each succeeding
year seems to pass away? Cannot we
remember how in our childhood, the
term of year appeared interminable,
and we thought we could compress
into that great space almost any amount
of work and play? But as we get
older, how is it that with all our indus
try, time seems too short for the work
we take in handp We become so en-
crossed that holy days and holidays are
alike invaded; and, after all is done,
how much is left unfinished, how many
schemes remain untried! It is the
solemn thought connected with middle
life" says the late eloquentF. w. Rob
ertson, "that life's last business is be-
gun in earnest; and it is then, midway
between the cradle and the grave, that
man begins to marvel that he let the
days of youth 60 by so half enjoyed.
It is the pensive autumn feeling. It is
the sensation of half sadness that we
experience when the longest day of the
year is past, and every day that follows
is shorter, and the light fainter, and
the feebler shadows tell that nature is
fastening with gigantic footsteps to her
winter grave. So does man look back
upon his youth. When the first gray
hairs become visible, when the un-
welcome truth fastens itself upon the
mind that man is no longer going up
hill, but do vn, and that the sun is al
ways westering, he looks back on things
behind, when we are children. But
now there lies before us manhood, with
its earnest work, and then old age, and
then tho grave, and then home. There
is a second youth for man, better and
holier than his first, if he will look on,
and not look back. k.-IMsiey's Magazine.

times act more like a silly schoolgirl
than woman who has seen twenty-six

Charley put his mouth in shape for a
whistle, but was Immediately fattened
out by an emphatic bounce of the old
lady.
"You haven'tl Why yes yoa have

the world ails the girl! What are you
simmering about, Clara? ?"
"My head aches. Please don't
talk, begged her neice, not quite pos
tive as to the effect her dissection might
have on the young martyr under her
aunt.
"Your head aches, does it? Well, no
wonder, wearing all that mass of hair
on your head is enough to make it ache.
What nonsense it is when there is no
one here to see you; besides it is posi-
lively making you bald-headed!"
"I'm not" vigorously responded the
young lady, burying her face in her
hands at the thought of all the nice
things the fellow under the carpet had
been saying.
" You're not. Yes, you are. There's
bald spot on the top of your head the
size of my hand!' and the old lady ex-
tended palm in illustration. "Now,
what in the world are you crying about.
Clara Sakes alive, niece, you'll cry
yourself sick and then you'll not be
able to visit the dentist tomorrow.
" Bother the dentist ! Do keep
still, aunt p cried Clara, while Charley
attempted to scratch his head and had
his arm nearly dislocated by few rest
less moves made by the old lady as she
Indignantly reprimanded her neice fol
disrespect and petulancy.
1T was your own wish to go to the
dentists, Clara; you know it was. You
said that set hurt your mouth, and you
wanted-Goodness, gracious What
under heaven does all the girl? fol
Clara had darted out of the room with
a smothered cry of rage and anguish,
leaving her relative to bounce up and
down on the pile of carpe in sheer
astonishment, until little Charley G. s
respiratory organs were like pair OF
collapsed bellows.
Then the old lady followed her neice
up stairs, and when the house was all
quiet Charley unlocked the front door
and stealing forth walked down Lucas
street a sadder and wiser man.
Clara left town on a visit, and the
young ladies who patronize the Fourth
street dry goods establishment think
Charley must be suffering from a case
of unrequited affection he looks so fiat
and talks 80 ruefully.

A GRAVE OVERSIGHT OR De
LINQUENCY.

Mr. little. The seventh section OF
Chapter 32, Code of w. Va, reads as
follows:
THE State license mentioned il the
first section shall be issued only when
authorised by the Board of Supervisors
of the Connty-except that when the
act, occupation or business for which
such State license is necessary. is to be
done or carried on IN a city, village or
town, the license shall be issued only
mhen authorised under The Ch0rier Of
said city, uiHags or tOlcn, by the COu1-
eli MreJ'
Query-has the consent of the Coun-
ell Of this town Cor any other IN the
Couaty,) been given to any license for
selling intoxicating liquors If not,
then every such license for towns has
been issued by the Supervisors contrary
to law
We hear the con duct Of that body
severely criticised, and the act by whidh
il signalised its retirement to private
lite will cause the SAVIOR Of its name TO
continue for a generation
Without special legislation to the con
trary we suppose that the functions OF
the defunct Supervisors will deyolve
upon the County Court, and conse-
qucntly without such legislation no Ii
quor license can be issued for this town
without the consent Of the Town Coun-
Gil Whether such consent shall be
given in Charlestown is now under pub
lie Debate there
Again we are creditably informed
that in some instances 1--WE know not
how many,) in which the Common
wealth's Attorney has discharged his
duty in bringing cases of the violation
of the license law with the witnesses II
due form before the Grand Juries, such
iur;es have refused to find bills, thus vi
olating their oaths Is this so or not ?
These questions have got to be exam

his text the words, Come over into

was an able effort, the reverend gentle
man detailing the rise and progress of
the false religions of the word, and then
showed how, step by step, these mighty
fals-hoods were melting away before
the onward march of the religion OF
Christ, and picturing the great success
attending the labors OF the Missionaries
of the Cross in foreign lands. The dis
course was atteEtively listened to
throughout, and at its close the annual
Missionary Collection was lifted, the re-
suit showing an advance of twenty-five
per cent. over the collection Of last year.
