Hint. for the Care of the Teeth.

We find in an exchange an article on
care and treatment of the teeth, from
which we draw several points: Persons
with decayed teeth should never drink
anything too hot or too cold, as either
will attack the nerve and bring on tooth
ache. Inhaving decayed teeth stopped,
take care that all the decayed parts are
previously cleaned out. Observe, also,
that the stopping used is not of mercu-
rial preparation.s sha kfAH 80
In cleaning the teeth, never use any
gritty substance, as tending to destroy
the enamel coating of the teeth.
To prevent the formation of tartar, rub
the teeth on going to bed, and also the
first thing in the morning. Pay partic-
ular attention to the stomach, and when
you find the tongue furred take some
proper medicine. -
Exposure to cold Is the most frequent
cause Of rheumatism in the face and
toothache; therefore, avoid, when posi-
bic. being out in the damp air.
When you have the toothache, do not
be persuaded to try creosote ; it gives
temporary relief to the carious tooth at
the expense of destroying the sound
members. - = ~ -
In using lamentations, take care your
face is not exposed to draft of cold air,
the parts being more sensitive Of out
ward influence at that time.
The worst Of all bad habits is picking
the teeth with pin, and nothing is so
Predisposing to toothache. If such a
habit must be indulged in, use quill.
And, lastly, be it observed that the fu-
ture perfection Of the teeth depends up
on the attention bestowed upon them in
youth. Parents cannot be too strongly
impressed with the importance of this
advice; nor can youth be too frequently
reminded of any carelessness or neglect
to themselves. fiil'ii il

A generation on the march from the
cradle to the grave is an instructive
spectacle, and We have it carefully pre-
sented to us in the report of DR.. Farr.
an English physician. Let us trace the
physical fortune which any million OF
us may reasonably expect, The num-
Der 70 begin with, is made up Of b11, :
745 boys and ASS, ,255 girls, a dispro-
portion which by and by will be re-
duced by the undue mortality of the
boys, and will be reversed before the
close of the strange, eyentful history.
More than quarter Of these children
viii die before they are FIVE years Old
in exact numbers, al, ,307 boys and
121, 1895 girls. The two sexes are now
nearly on a level. The next five years
will be much less. fatal. In the sue
ceeding five years-from 10 to 15-the
mortality will be still further reduced.
Indeed, for both sexes, this is the. most
healthy period Of life the death rate
however, is lower for boys than for
girls. There viii be some advance in
deaths in the next five years, and still
more in the five that follow, but 634 ,045
will certainly enter on their 26th year.
Before the next ten years are at an end
two-twirds of the women will have mar
ried. The deaths during that period
will be 81, 2,052, and Of those no fewer
than 81 143 viii be caused by consump-
ton. Between 35 and 45 still larger
death toll" viii be paid, and little
more than half the original band-in
exact numbers, 502, ,915-wiIl enter on
their 46th year. Each succeeding de-
cade, up 70 76. will now become more
fatal, and the numbers will shrink ter
ribly. At 76 only 161, ,124 viii remain
10 be struck down, and Of these 120. $50
will have persisted by the S5th year of
the march. The Sc, ,665 that remain will
soon lay down their burdens; but O.
153 Of them will struggle on to 90, and
223 to be 100 years old. Finally, in the
108th year Of the course, the last soli-
tary life will flicker out Such, then.

Musical Preoocity.

William Crotch was born in 1775, at
Norwich. His father, a carpenter, with
no knowledge of music, but a passion
ate love for the art, built small organ,
and taught himself two or three COM
mon tunes which he played with one
hand and an occasional chord When.
his little boy was only a'year'and a half
old he discovered great inclination for
music, by leaving even his food to at
tend to it when his father was playing.
At two.years old lie otld touch the key
note of his favorite tunes, in order to
persuade his father to repeat them.
Soon after this, as he was unable to
name the tunes, he would himself play
the two or three first bars Of then, when
he thought the keynote did not suffi-
GENTLY explain what he wished to have
performed. It seems to have been
owing to his having heard the perform
ance of Mrs. Lulman, a musical lady
who came to try his fathers organ, and
who not only played on it, but sang to
her own accompaniment, that he hrst
attempted to execute q tune himself.
One evening, in passing through the
sitting room, he screamed and struggled
violently to go to the organ, on which,
when he was indulged, he eagerly beat
down the keys with his little fist. Next
day being Lett with his brother, a youth
of IA, he would not les him rest until rhe
blew the bellows of the organ, while he
sat on his knees, and beat down the
keys, at first promiscuously; but pres
emily, with one hand, he played enough
of "God save. the King" to awaken the
curiosity of his father, who being in the
garret, which was his workshop, has
tened down stairs to inform himself
who was at the organ. When he found
it was the child who was performing, he
could hardly believe what he had heard
and saw. At this time he was exactly
two years and three weeks old. Next
he made himself master of the treble of
the second part, and the day after he at
tempted the bass. On the parents re-
lating this extraordinary circumstance
to some of their neighbors, they were
laughed at, and advised by no means to
repeat such marvellous stories, as they
would only expose themselves to ridi-
cule. However, few days after, Crotch
being i'll and unable to go to work, Mr..
Paul, a master weaver, by whom he was
employed, passing accidentally by the
door, and hearing the organ, fancied he
had been deceived, and that Crotch had
stayed at home to divert himself on his
favorite instrument. Fully possessed
with this idea, he entered the house,
and suddenly opening the sitting-room
door, he saw the child playing on the
organ. while his brother was blowing
the bellows. Mr.. Paul thought the
performance. SO extraordinary that he
Immediately brought two or three of
the neighbors to hear it, who, propoga-
ting the news, a crowd of neatly one
hundred people came the next day to
hear the young performer; and on the
following day still greater numbers
1ocked to the house from all quarters
of the city, till atlength the child's pa
rents were forced to limit his exhibi-
tions to certain days and hours, in Or
der to lessen his fatigue, and exempt
themselves from the inconvenience of
constant attendance on the curious null
titude.

Tho has not eaten substantial food for

S-Dtopnity of Newark, who seem to be

mt some weeks ago a lady, the wife of
ali known citizen, went to Rockaway
Soocb in company with her family to

Tard trip the water was rough andthe
boat heaved somewhat, so much so, in
Seed that the lady experienced some
J;sogreeeble sensations, but did not be-
o,J onme seasick. She sought refuge from
Ser feelings in the cabin, where the
nsnsea no gradually disappeared. Never
tLeless. her whole system seemed to be
disturbed during the sail, and the sea
b-eeze did not have the usual invigora-
t;ng effect. For several days after an
sll1sion to the boat or the humming of
tune that was played during the pas
sage caused a sensation of nausea, and
ne could not take any food. For four
weeks her only nourishment has been a
cracker and a spoonful of coffee or tea
once or twice day, and occasionally a
peach or piece of melon.
The lady has tried every remedy to
get her appetite back, but without avail.
Rot alone does she experience want of
appetite, but positive repugnance of
food. Tonics, on being taken, are i'm
mediately rejected by the stomach.
The digestive organs are fully distend-
ed and larger than in their normal con-
dition. This circumstance sometimes
causes pam. Her system is very weak
and her health poor. The case is caus-
ing much anxiety among the lady's
friends. The mere mention of sailing,
or the motion of ones arms as in row.
ing. and the whistling of the tunes play
ed. causes recurrence of the same SEN
sations as we're felt on the boat. The
case is looked upon as entirely new in
pathological science, and though specu-
iation is extensive, it is impossible so
far to arrive at any solution or remedy.

A WESTERN JUsTIcE.--When Illinois
was young, and her towns were few and
sparsely settled, with population not
remarkable for general culture, acer-
tain justice of the peace presided in the
examining trial Of q man accused OF
murder. No lawyer had yet settled in
this particular town, and the squire had
it ali his own way. After the testimony
was in, he gravely called the prisoner
TO the bar, sentenced him TO be hanged
on the following day, and duly attended
himself, to see the sentence properly
executed. A few months afterwerd
there was another murder in the town,
and the suspected murderer was
brought before the squire for examina-
ton. In the meAntime, however, law
yer from 0 distant town had been en-
gagged by the accused, and appeared in
the courtroom for the defense. The
old justice was proceeding as calmly
with the second case as with the first,
when he was interrupted by the learned
counsel. "H the court please, he said, !,
"you cannot try this man. All that
you can do is to hear the evidence, and
Il you believe him guilty, hold him
over TO stand his trial in the Circuit
Court"
Cant try hint" shouted his honor.
