carbonate Of soda. This is excellent
although the taste is objectionable.
Avoid tooth-pastes as a rule, and al
powders the composition of which Won

beautiful pearly surface on the teeth
at the expense of the enamel. Here i
simple powder and good one: Pm.
pared chalk, ] ounce; orris root and
magnesia, of each OF an ouncer-mix.
Ii the teeth be much discolored, get
your druggist to add q little cuttle-ish.
Camphorated chalk is also very simple,
and as good as simple. Rinsing the
mouth occasionally with.a wash Of half
an ounce of tincture of myrrhto6 s,
ounces of pure water, is a good pre-
sentative for the gums.
ABOUT BoILING EGGs. There Ii aai
objection to the common way of boiling
eggs which people do not undersmnd.
1t is this: The white under 3 minutes'
rapid cooking becomes tough. and ii,
digestible, while the yelk is left ont.
When properly cooked, eggs are dons
evenly through like any other food.
This result may be obtained by ppttiue
the eggs into dish with a cover IS 8
tin pail, and then pouring upon them
boiling water, 2 quarts or more to 8
dozen eggs, and cover and set them
away from the stove for Is minutes.
The heat of the water cooks the eggs
slowly and evenly and sufficiently and
to a jelly-like consistency, leaving tn
center or yelk harder than theswhitey,
and the egg tastes as much richer and
nicer as fresh egg is nicer than stale
egg, and no person will want to est
them boiled after trying this naeth0t
once. 49, Boston TRANSCRIPT. al
