The Deaf Hear through she Teeth.

An editorial in the Hestcrn Cristian
Adrocate of January 81. 1880, las this to
say OF the Dentaphone
We receive many inqui$ies from our
read ers in regard to the Dentaphone,
new invention. extensively advertised, as
enabling the deaf TO hear through their
teeth. After thorough investigation, for
which ample facilities were afforded us
we have come to the conclusion that the
Dentapllone is most valuable invention,
and, in fact, does what is claimed for it.
in enabling the deaf and partially deaf to
hear sounds and conversations otherwise
beyond their range. The prinelpie on
which the Dentaphone is constructed is.
that receiving diaphragm or plate which
is susceptible TO the sound vibrations that
constitute spoken language, is made to re-
ceive and communicate these vibrations to
the teeth of the persons using 1t !; and thus
they are conveyed through the bones OF
the head to the auditory nerves, and SO en-
able the person to hear without difficulty.
Several of our citizens. who have been deaf
for years, are using the Dentaphoue with
most satisfactory results. Rev. D. j :
Starr, pastor of the York Street
Methotiisr Episcopal Church, of this
city. visited the office of the company
few days ago, for the purpose of testing
the Dentaphone in the case of his wife's
mother, whose hearing is quite detective.
The result was remarkably conrincing.
the lady being enabled to hear distinctly
orr hi SafA in fho fr1
nary ton- of voice. Indeed, so much was
her hearing improved that Mrs. Starr re-
marked that a stranger who did not know
the use of the Dentaphone would not sus-
pect her of being deaf.
The Dentarhone has been tested in the
National Deaf Mute College at Washing
ton City. and we have seen private let
ter from one of the professors of that in
stitution which speaks in the highest terms
of the invention as a means OF teaching
the deaf and dumb to hear.
The question is often asked, IL
the Dentaphone can be used with artificial
teeth. As the sounds are not conveyed
by the nerves OF the teeth, but are trans
mitfsd through the bony framework of
the heat. artificial teeth. when properly
placed. conduct the sounds just as well as
the natural teeth. When not in use, the
Dentaphone can easily be carried in the
pocket. Believing that our readers would
like to know more about this valuable In
vention, for their accommodation, arrange
ments have been made whereby the Dem
taphone Company's free pamphlet, giving
description AMI prices of the instrument,
will be furnished TO all who write tor It to

Healthy Women.

A writer. in urging the necessity for more
attention to physical culture, notes as a favor
able sign the fact that ''the pale and interest
ing" type of female beauty is fast losing its
popularity, and that men of position and in.
iuence are declaring for the healthy stand
ard of wOmanly beauty, such as was ever
recognized by Greece and Rome. This is
certainly an important and happy change in
public taste and already the effects of it are
to be detected in an improved condition of
feminine health, for it will hardly be denied
that on an average the women of to-day are
physically superior to what they were few
years ago when tight lacing and similar de-
stroying customs prevailed.
Young women take more exercise than
they formerly did. They ride and walk
more, and are more in the open air. They
have not the insane dread of the suns rays
which they once had. But there is much
room for improvement yet. Many homes
are still presided over by invalid wives and
mothers who furnish a constant spectacle of
sadness and misery to their family and
friends, and are subject of unlimited ex-
pense to their husbands. Ia such homes
the greatest of all blessings that could be
hoped for would be the health of the mistress
restored; but too often it is the one blessing
which never comes.
We are on the right track now; all that is
needed is to go ahead, and the results will
soon be manifest. Women will die TO be in
fashion; therefore let the fashion of female
beauty be vigor and strength, and all the
ladies in the land will be swinging dumb
bells, practicing archery, riding on horse
back, and walking for wager, but they will
be in style.

In 1884 Dean Swift wrote from Dublin to
a sprightly lady correspondent in London,
the following sarcastic commentary upon
the Irish bellies of the last century: "a per-

every article except what is merely domestic
and to do the ladies justice there are very
few of them without a good share THAT her
