The Toilet.
DECAY OF TEETH.

The causes for the decay of the
teeth are two-aclds and minute fun
gus, abundantly found in the mouth,
and called leptothrix buccalis." All
acids, both vegetable and mineral
act promptly on the teeth by dissoIv.
ing the enamel and by softening the
dentine. Sour fruits and vinegar
salad are likely to injure the teeth,
unless the mouth is carefully washed
out after eating them. The little par
asitic fungus can only be removed by
alkaline mixtures. Soap is one OF
the best dentrifices. 1t appears that
the parasites grow and multiply very
rapidly, and especially between the
teeth. 1t would be advisable, there
fore, for those who wish to preserve
good teeth, to carefully use the tooth
pick and scrub the teeth with soap
and water after every meal, or at least
twice day.
CARE OF THE NAILS.
The correct management of the
nails is to cut them of an oval shape,
corresponding with the shape of the
fingers. Never allow them to grow
too long, as it makes it difficult to
keep them clean; nor too short, as it
causes the tips of the fingers to be-
come flattened and enlarged, and turn
upward, which gives the hand an
awkward appearance. The skin which
grows in q semicircle on the top Of
the nail requires much attention, as
it is often drawn on with It's growth,
dragging the SKIN below the nail so
tight as to cause it to divide into
what are termed agnails. This is
prevented by separating the skin from
the nail by a blunt half-circular in
strument. Many persons cut this
pellicle, or thin skin, which causes it
to grow very thick and uneven, and
sometimes damages the growth OF
the nail.
CARE OF THE HAIR.
To keep the hair healthy, keep the
head clean. Brush the seal p well
with a stiff brush while dry Then
wash with CASTLE soap, and rub into
the roots bay rum, brandy OF camphor
water. This done twice a month
will prove beneficial. Brush the
scalp thoroughly twice week.
Dampen the hair with soft water 1T
the toilet, and do not use oil.
FLEsH-woRMS AND PIAIPLEs.
Try this recipe: Wash the face
twice day in warm water and rub
dry with coarse towel. Then with
a soft towel rub in lotion made Of
two ounces of white brandy, one
ounce of cologne and ono half ounce
of liquor potassa. Persons subject
to skin eruptions should avoid every
salt or tat food. A dose of Epson
salts occasionally might prove bene-

CHARCOAL FOR PouLTRy.--Fowls
of all kinds are very fond of charcoal
and will eat it with great relish if
properly prepared. Pounded char
coal is not in the shape in which
fowls usually find their food, and
consequently 1t is not very entlcing
to them. To please their palate the
charcoal should be In pieces the size
OF grains of corn, and if these are
strewed around their quarters, they
will readily eat thereof Corn burnt
on the cob, and the refuse (Which
consists almost entirely of the grains
reduced to charcoal, and retaining
their perfect shape) placed before
them, make SO marked improvement
in thor health, as is shown by the
brighter color of their combs, and
their sooner producing greater
average of eggs to the flock than be-
fore.

Selecting Keeping Apples.

1t is familiar to most orchardists
that some apples of the same variety
in the cellar keep much longer than
others. Some of the Baldwiis, for
instance, begin to rot IN December,
even without having been injured by
bruising. Others will remain fresh,
solid and sound INTO April or May
These different specimens, with all
grades between are promiscuously
mixed together 1t is worthy of in,
quiry whether the keepers do not
come from particular trees, which
from soil, culture, age, or other i'll
tluence, ripen their specimens in such
way as to enable them to resist de-
cay. BY keeping the crop from diff.
tcrent tees separate, something vaIu'
able might be learned in this way
An examination into the causes might
possibly enable us to control in some
degree the keeping qualities of differ
ent sorts.

SToP THAT COUGH Many hesitate to
try a medicine for decease, on account
OF the expense, connected with the un
certainty its benefitting them; while
at the same time, they had confidence in
that remedy, the expense would be the
least objection. With this fact in view
we make the following proposition: Any
person suffering with cold, cough Or
sore throat, that will call at A NJ. Kinks
drug store and purchased bottle of "Hale's
Cough Cordial" use one-half of it, and
if they conclude that it is doing them
no good, they can return the bottle and

sible. All kinds-horses, cattle,
swine, sheep and poultry, are ex-
pected to be ON exhibition, and the
ends to be accomplished are many
and obvious. First. there is the
great advantage to DO derived by
breeders having, just at this season
Of the year, an opportunity to see to-
gether large number Of male ami
mails of different kinds. Then the
chances for exchange and sale will be
very superior aud should offer = great
inducement to the inception aud
maintenance of the enterprise. Stock
shows Of this character have been
found, wherever tried, to be of the
greatest benefit to farming communi-
ties, and invariably prove very pop
ular. We see no reason why Cedar
county should prove an exception.
The Offering of premiums and
charging of admission may come
later, but for the purpose OF the pres
ent meeting, ~ we understand it,
neither is proposed. Everything will
be free to everybody; and if large
number Of men Of this county who
are interested in such matters will
come together and bring their stock
with them, compare notes and ami
mails and thus make the experience
of each the property Of all, it would
seem sure that they must have =
pleasant, interesting and profitable
meeting. Will they come?
