Tho Teeth OF Americans.

An Englishman named Charles A..
Cole has recently written book about
America, in which is found, among
other paragraphs, the following: 1.-TWO
or three dentists may be found In a
village with less than 800 inhabitants.
The very common consumption OF can.
dies and lollipops by grown up women
leads to frequent attendance on the
dentist, and younger male and female
children soon begin to follow the fash
ion of their elders. Coming out of

fitting name, for it is a'drawing-room

ND the pauses in reading serials or
newspapers by sucking sticks of candy
with open and undisguished saiisfac-
ton. The candy shops in New York
are a marked feature in the streets,
more than in Paris, Vienna or Milan !;
there are many at which candies and
sugar stuff, chocolate bon bons and va
rieties are alone obtainable. Nothing
else is sold in the s ore. At the coun-
try dances and gatherings the swain
approaches the beloved object with
candy in one form OF other, and 1T is
certainly pleasant and sure mode OF
arresting the flow of a lady tongue.

sending out some guerillas entered portion
Of the Spanish forces into the plains where a
number iell on them, andwhilst the Spaniards
