Why the Teeth Decay.

THE causes of the decay of teeth have
hitherto been matter of doubt, but the
investi cations of Leber and Rottenstcin
throw considerable light on the problem.
They recognize constitutional differences
in teeth, rendering some more sensitive
than others to the influences that favor
decay. These influences are not SO much
internal or vital as external and chemical
Decay begins at the surface, and there
it must be checked, if checked at ALL 1t
is chiefly caused by acids, and by GER
tain fungus, the Leptottrir buccalis, found
abundantly in the mouth. Under the
microscope the fungus appears as gray,
finely granular mass or matrix, with fila
ments delicate and stiff, which erect them
selves above the surface of this granular
substance, so as TO resemble an uneven
turf. The fungus attains its greatest size
i'll the intcrstices of the teeth. All acids,
both mineral and vegetable, act promptly
on the teeth. Various acids are taken
with food or in medicines, or are formed
in the mouth itself by some abnormality
of our secretions, which should be aka
line, or by an acid fermentation of par
ticles of food. But acids alone will not
account for all the phenomena of carries in
the teeth. They play a primary and prin-
clpal part, making the teeth porous and
soft. In this state, the tissues having lost
both the canaliculi of the enamel and of
the dentine, and by their growth produce
softening and destructive effects much
more rapid than the action of acids alone
can accomplish. BOwditch, in examin-
ing forty persons of different professions,
and living different kinds of life, found in
almost all of them vegetable and animal
parasites. The parasites were abundant
in proportion to the neglect of cleanli-
ness. The means ordinarily employed to
clean the teeth had nc effect on the para
sites, while soapy water appeared to de-
stroy them.
We may remark that it is several years
since attention was first called to this
fungus OF the mouth and its possible in
fluence in causing the teeth to decay but
the Investigations of Leber and Rotten
stein appear to have settled the question
beyond "a doubt. The "moral' is, that il
we would preserve our teeth we must
keep them scrupulously clean, and we
must use soap as an ingredient in our
dentifrices or in addition to them. 1t is
not necessary to employ any of the So
called dental soaps" We have found
by experience that the imported white
CASTLE soap, which is probably the purest
soap made in the world-a fact worth re-
membering in other connections-is quite
tasteless, or at least has no unpleasant
taste. Rub the wet tooth brush over a
piece of this soap before dipping it into
| the dentifrice you use, and you have the
| most perfect combination for thorough
cleansing of the teeth and destroying the
obnoxious fungus. We assume, of course,
that the dentifrice itself is not one that
! injuries the teeth, as many of those in
common use do.-Journal Of Chemistry.

THE will of the late millionaire, David
Snow, of Boston, contains suggestions of
value to his dcvisees and to the public.
In the closing article of the testament he
says: 1t is my earnest desire and re-
quest that all my heirs (tllis, of course, is
more especially directed to the maies)
should invest their means in the safe way,
and pursue some steady, permanent, legit-
innate business or employment with great
perseverance and industry, and success is
sure to crown their efforts in due time.
This course is not only an honorable one,
but is almost always the most successful
and satisfactory in the long run; whereas
dealing in stocks and engaging in uncer-
tain and rash speculations l regard as
species of gambling at best a nere lottery,
and although sometimes pleasing and ex-
citing when the luck is good, still in the
main such a course is generally very in
furious and demoralizing, and often ends
in ruin, both pecuniary and morally. 1t
is my hope and earnest desire that my
heirs will ever be honest, liberal, steady,
Industrious, kind to the needy, and at
tend regularly some church, my choice
being, of course, the Methodist, which has
been so long dear to me."-Hartford
Times.

SINCE a man IN Stonington, Conn,
plowed up one of Washington's old coat
buttons in his field, the people of that
neighborhood have become aroused to the
importance, from a purely agricultural
age. Every man who has a quarter of an
acre of land has had it plowed over once
at least, and will have the operation re-
peated as soon as the frost is out of the
ground

A FEW days since well known citizen
of Providence went to New York on
business, and his smart young wife, in
stockings for a change, also writing note,
folding it up, and placing it in one of the
stockings, thinking he would read it in
New York, and, perhaps, bring her home
a diamond ring. The husband, however,
didn't change his stockings in New York,
and so his wife's tender epistle was all
lost upon him while he was away. The
other morning he put the stockings on,
but even then he didn't discover the note,
and all day he was limping about the
city wondering why one Of his boots hurt
him so. Matters were explained and the
boot made all right.

THE Chinese watch the pearl -mussel
closely, and when it opens its shell insert
pieces of wood, hard earth, or little images
of their gods. These irritate the fish and
cause it to cover the substance with a
pearly deposit, which hardens and forms
an artificial pearl. This sort of pearl
making is carried on to great extent in
Ning-po, and the articles thus obtained
are considered very little inferior in value

A Diamond Drill Story.

A member of the old Stock Board
in San Francisco has conveyed the
following intelligence to reporter
of one of the Bay papers. 1t is
almost needless to say that Colonel
Fair denies this report in common
with all Others of u disparaging kind
set affoat about the bonanza mines:
Since the advent of diamond drills
l '.on't go cent on advice. These
drills are a most unfortunate inven-
ton for the public. 1t is one of
those scient fic discoveries which
makes the rich richer and the poor
poorer. Since their introduction |
have been but light operator, for
would rather play against loaded
dice or marked cards and have a
better chance of winning. This is
discovery that has enabled the man
ayers of mine to look away ahead
iuto the ground. They can drill
hundreds of feet horizontally and
thousands in depth, thus enabling
them to know when to get out and
when to get in. Even after a body
of ore is reached and they commence
to extract it, they can locate the ex-
act position of the wal 8. They can
carry on their excavations up tn and
within foot of the walls and then
leave of, the faces of the drifts still
showing fine ore. They take your
expert and show world Of ore at
every point, when the whole mine
may be but shell. These men must
know from these drills what is be-
low, and this accounts for their per-
sistently selling for eight months
past; for, mind you, with over mil
lion Of shares in these two mines, it
takes months to dispose of one-third
of them. Consolidated Virginia can
not now be selling on her present
value but on her prospective value,
as the cream of her ore has been ex-
tracted; and can't see how they
can take out 81 dividend with the
low price of silver and the bullion

Schramm astonishcd all his acquaint.
ances on Monday by coming out in
somewhat attractive attire cap a pie.
The doctor has for long time been
enjoying a season Of relaxation, and
although at times he has been trifle
over-bihulous, he has never ceased
to be attractive in manners and per-
sonal appearance. A letter from
some relatives received from the re-
gion of the Rhine conveying the
cheering Intelligence that a fortune
Of $4,000 awaited his arrival there
as claimant, is said to be the cause OF
his sudden departure from what had
become a fixed habit of being diff
fcrent from all people else. In con-
versation with the doctor our reporter
WAS informed that the legacy, al
though very. tempting and altogether
quite enough to maintain gentle
man Of temperate habits all his days,
was not sufficient to attract away
from the familiar scenes and person.
ages Of Silver City one who had
dwelled here long enough to call the
place his home. The doctor was
moved to tears as these words were
said. He remarked, as he pressed
his handkerchief to his eyes, that he
had just been down and had his
photograph taken, which he would
send home as soon as the pictures
were dry. He said he thought his
people would recognize the likeness,
although, so far as he was concerned,
he looked in glass (tha' is, a look
ing glass; before he went down to the
gallery and he scarcely knew himself.
1t was so long since white shirt had
adorned his bosom that his own
little dog scarcely knew him. The
doctor was moved 20 tears again and
was in the act Of weeping copiously
when old Wicgand came along. He
had to look carefully to tell whether
he was right or not, and when he
felt sure he poured out ter
rife oath, with peculiar
Teutonic twist that lent considerable
force to the expression. lnasmuch as
Schramm's eyes were quite wet with
the dewdrops of sorrow the old man
paused and softly asked who was
dead. Schrsmm was about to make
q reply when some one inside
asked every body to take drink,
when he and his in:erlocutor van
ished inside. with faces wreathed in
smiles of delightful anticipation.

below for dogs to drink ct, and above on
the inner face a jet Of water for people
to use. On the sidewalk it would not
only be useful but quite ornamental, and
would probably induce the city govern
ment to introduce them generally
throughout the city.
Through the energetic efforts Of archi-
tect Cook, and Captain Heath, who has
charge Of the iron work and the work
men, the Court Square fountain is going
up rapidly and is being put up in the
most substantial and approved manner.
The fountain will rise up twenty feet in
hight and will present a beautiful and
imposing appearance. The water for
fish in the basin will be five feet six
inches deep and will be stocked with
trout, perch and other fine fish. The
depth Of the water and the consequent
darkness below will, it is expected, cause
the fish to breed and multiply rapidly.
Now would be a good time for the city tC
paint the seats in the square and the
iron railing around it. 1t would cost
but little and would protect the iror
railing and seats from rust and decay.
