EXECUTIVE MANSION, JAN a. 1878
The Rev. Mr.. Sturks:
DEAR SIR: 1 have given some consideration to
your question to the emigration of colored people
from Florida to San Domingo am not well in
formed as to the advantages offered by San Donin-
go to immigrants but my impression is that your
people should not be hasty in deciding to leave this
country. The mere difference in climate is a very
serious objection to removal The first generation
in all such removals, suffer greatly. 1t is my opinion,
ALSO that the evils which now affect you are likely
steadily and, hope, rapidly, to diminish My ad-
vice is, therefore, against the proposed emigration

How to Investigate Drinking Water.

When there are reasons to suspect
that drinking water is contaminated by
sewage impurities, a convenient test,
known as the "sugar test, may be ap-
piled. A half pint of the water should
be placed in a clear, colorless, glass
stoppered bottle. Put in few grains
of the best white lump sugar, and expose
the bottle to the daylight in the window
of warm room II the water is pure
it should not become turbid even after a
weeks exposure. If it becomes cloudy
and turbid, there is reason to believe
your suspicious are correct.

THE PRESERVATION OF THE TEETH

The Scientific american says, one of New
York's most experienced dentists, after
putting the teeth in good order, dismisses
the patient with a copy o. a neatly printed
little tract full of excellent hints, as
follows Z:
DIRECTORY, EXPLANATORY, AND VAL
%EDIcToRY. When the teeth Of q patient
have been under professional treatment, to
the extent of q thorough ~overhauling o,
placing in order, he is advised as follows,
for his personal observance and benefit.
Saving a set Of teeth is one of the most
positive and undoubted processes in the
world, providing the dentist does his work
well and the patient does likewise. This
statement is made in all candor, that the
patient may comprehend his position ; for,
If he would retain his teeth, he must g make
nm effort he must, indeed, be a co-work
er. When both the dentist and patient are
faithful, there can be no result but success.
Therefore, o reader! peruse, ponder, and
practice these
DIRECTIONS.
In the morning. before breakfast, always
brush your teeth-irst with water only,
then with powder. Powder should be used
at least once a day. Without powder teeth
cannot be kept clean. Using a brush with
tooth soap, just before retiring at night, Ia
q commendable practice. To brush effect.
ually, place the upper and lower rows OF
teeth parallel to each other, the points OF
the fronts touching then use your brush
up and down the teeth between the gums,
being not unmindful nor fearful to brush
as well the gums as the teeth-thereb,
t~oughening the one and cleansing the other
Your back teeth need more brushing thar
your front ones Wisdom in this respeci
will be displayed, should you show a par
tial care for the back and outsides of tn,
rearmost teeth, above and below. After
each and every meal use q quill toothpick
waxed silk floss, and rinse the mouth with
moderately cold water. The intention oil
these is simply to remove food from among
the teeth. Decomposed acidifed food,
animal or vegetable, is the worst enem,
your teeth nave now to encounter. Tho
enemy, the combat, and the prize are be.

If / have learned how to place your teeti

These implements are always on hand
for those who o them. l do not obtrudt

This is important. Should you then exhibit
