How 70 Preserve the Teeth.

The following directions for the care
of the teeth have been issued by the
medical committee Of the National
Dental hospital, London:
IL The teeth should be cleaned at
least once a day, the best time being
night-the last thing. For this purpose
use soft brush, on which take little
soap, and then some prepared chalk,
brushing up and down and across.
There is rarely any objection to the
friction causing the gum to bleed
slightly.
(2.) Avoid all rough usage of the
teeth, such as cracking nuts, biting
thread, etc, as by SO doing even good,
sound teeth may be injured.
(3.) When decay is first observed ad-
vice should be sought. It is the stop
ping in small hole that is of the
greatest service, though not unfre-
quently a large filling preserves the
teeth for years.
~ It is Of the greatest importance
that children from four years and up
ward should have their teeth frequently
examined by the dental surgeon, to see
that the first set, particularly the back
teeth, are not decaying too early, and to
have the opportunity Of timely treat
ment for the regulation and preservation
Of the second set.
(5.) Children should be taught to
rinse the mouth night and morning, and
to begin the use of the toothbrush early
likewise the toothpick).
(6.) With regard to the food Of chill
dren, to those who are old enough
whole meal, bread, porridge and milk
should be given. This is much more
wholesome and substantial food than
white bread.
"a If the foregoing instructions were
carried out comparatively few teeth
| would have to be extracted.

Feeding Hay from the stack.

A correspondent of the Country Gen
tlsn,d1s writes: A careful observer is
frequently surprised at the wanton
wastefulness of many farmers. Such
wastes occur more noticeably in the
manner of feeding, perhaps, than in any
other branch of farm work. For this
reason would like to refer to what APP
pears to me a shiftless practice-that Of
feeding hay from the stack upon the
,Aeadow. Farmers are generally careful
to save the entire crop of hay. Even
after hay is pitched from the windrow
or hay-cock, the horse rake is put in
motion, and the rakings are cared for.
Thus there is neatly finished Job, and
the hay is all saved. But there is not
the same general care in feeding. If it
pays to be SO very careful to save the
hay when we are making it, here is no
reason why we should not be very care
full to avoid wastefulness in feeding it.
It always seemed to me that the feed
ing of hay upon the ground involves a
great waste. If one feeds out of doors
it would be well to provide boxes or
racks. There are those in this section
who have comfortable barns, and yet
they persist in feeding upon the
meadows. There is less waste of food
and manure when cattle are fed in we'll
arranged stables; there is less exposure
and better health. The tramping of
ground in the warm, open weather
which frequently occurs III cur winter
seasons, robs the soil of much vitality.
These points are severally opposed to
the practice Of feeding upon the mead
oWs in winter.

A Desperado,s Escape.

A communication from Santa Fe,
New Mexico, says: Full particulars Of
the escape of William Bonnev. alias
"Billy the Kid" from the Jail Of Lincoln
county have reached here. The Kid
was in charge Of Bob Alinger and j. wv.
Bell, deputy sheriffs, cool and brave
men. 1t seems, however, that BY docile
behavior the prisoner put them OF their
guard. On the evening Of the day in
question Alinger had gone to supper,
leaving Bell to watch the prisoner.
Bell was sitting on the floor talking,
when the Kid, who was heavily shackled
and handcuffed, approached him pleas
antly and suddenly jumped at him with
the swiftness of a wildcat, hitting him
on the head and fracturing lily skull.
He then snatched Bells pistol and shot
him in the breast. Bell ran down the
steps and fell attne foot d corpse. The
Kid kicked open the door, procured
hatchet and knocked off his shackles..
He also broke open the door 81 the
armory and took possession Of several
guns and pistols. Bob Alinger, hearing
the shot, left his supper and ram toward
the Jail. When entering small gate
leading through the jail fence, the Kid,
who was upstairs, shot him with y gun
loaded with buckshot, killing him IL
stant-y. The town Of Lincoln seemed
terror-stricken, ana nobody thought VI
opposing the Kid. He stole horse
and rode off, armed with four ravoIyezs
and q Winchester rife. He has ez-
pressed determination to kill Governor
Lew Wallace, who failed To pardon him.
and who, by curious coincidence,
signed the Kids death warrant at Santa
- on The same daT that he escaped AT
Lincoln.

Four young men, clerks and students,
while on summer vacation tramp
through Northern New England, en-
gagged for guide to certain romantic
forest waterfall boy named Forrest
Graves. Forrest was fine, athletic
fellow, who could outwalk and outclimb
any amateur in the mountains, and his
moral courage was quite equal to his
physical health and strength.
After he had guided the young men to
the. waterfall, and they had satisfied
themselves with sightseeing, they in
vited him to lunch with them.
"Thank you, I have my own lunch" I"
and the boy went away by himself.
Later, when full justice had been done
to their repast, and flask of brandy
had furnished each of the young men
with stimulating draught, Graves was
called.
You must drink with us, if you will
not eat with us, now said the owner of
the flask, and the most reckless of the
party.
"No, sir, thank you," was the boys
courteous response.
But I shall insist upon it,
You can do as you please, and
shall do as I please"
The young man sprang to his feet,
and with bound stood beside the boy,
too much absorbed in his own purpose
to heed the quivering lips and flashing
eyes of another.
Now you are bound to try my
brandy. always rule"
"You can't rule me.
These words were scarcely uttered
when the flask was seized and hurled
into the stream, where the cinking OF
glass betrayed its utter destruction.
Then clear, defiant tone rang out:
81 did it in self-defense. You had no
Sht to tempt me. Ny father was once
a rich and honorable man, but he died
miserable drunkard, and my mother
came here to live to keep me away from
liquor till 1 should be old enough to
take care of myself. I have promised
her hundred times I wouldn't taste it,
and I'd die before I'd break my promise. .
"Bravely said. Forgive me, and let
us shake hands. My mother would be
happy woman if I was as brave as
you. wouldn't tempt you to do wrong.
I shall never forget you, nor the lesson
you have taught me"
The most reckless was the most gen.
erous, and seeing his error apologized
frankly.
How many boys need to be kept from
strong drink; and, alas, how many men
and women Who dares tempt them ?
Let it not be you and I. Youths COM

Broad wheels for Farm wagons.

The surface over which loads are
drawn upon the farm is soft as a rule,
and wheel with broad tire will not
sink so far as o narrow one. A load of
manure or hay can be drawn across
plowed or other mellow ground upon a
wagon which has tires four inches wide
when it would be impossible to do so
with the old narrow wheels, often less
than two inches wide. The usually
heavy, muddy, country roads of early
spring are much more passable with the
wide wheels than the narrow ones; and
even upon smooth, hard roads the diff
ference in the draft is SO slight as to be
no argument against the use of wide
tires. Most of the teaming upon the farm
is upon soft ground, and the light draft
of broad tired wagons should make them
preferable, because they are saving of
animal strength. One Of the first things
that strikes an intelligent European in
coming to this country is the very frail
look of our vehicles, especially the
narrow wheels. While these may be
desirable in road wagons, those for farm
use may well be with broad tires. Con-
tractors for road work always use broad
tired carts, as they find them most
profitable. e.-Anserjcdn AqTicult,uia.

A Rat-Proof Corn-Crib.

A correspondent of the Practical
Fnme7. gives the following directions
for making that most necessary Of farm
buildings, a rat-proof corn-crib Build
a good substantial house, twelve feet
wide, eight feet high and as long as you
want it. This will give you two cribs,
one on either side. Put your building
on stone pillars, one foot above ground.
Side up with lath 2 1-2x1 inches of hard
wood q used oak), putting them on up
and down, being careful to have them
just half an inch apart. The gables,
and any part of building that does not
come in contact with the corn, can. be
sided up with common pine boards; for
bottoms Of cribs, laths lengthwise, one
half inch apart; balance of floor between
cribs lay tight, of pine boards. My
building hasa string of ties between
the sill and plate to nail to, and cross
ties to hold the building together.
Every eight feet on these ties spike a
good strong studding or narrow plank
across them lengthwise of the building
as far from plate as you want the width
Of top Of crib; then set up studding
from floor. as many as will be suffi-
GENTLY strong for crib; mortice the end
in floor, gain the top into the horizontal
studding about three quarters of
an inch, then lath the inside of
the crib with any kind Of lath,
just close enough to keep in the
oorn, commencing ten inches from the
floor to leave room for the corn to come
down into the trough, putting these lath
on lengthwise. Then put common
sized door in the end, between the cribs.
You can put lock on the door, and all
is secure Il did not lock mine and gained
something by it, as I found stray nit
ten in the crib on cold morning). To
get the corn in the crib make door
above the plate the size you want them,
the same as dormer windows, and hang
the doors on and it will be completed.
Ii any one wishes to have granary,
they can use one side Of the building
forthat purpose and the other for crib.
The size of my cribs is three feet in the
clear at bottom and five feet at top, but
I am well satisfied they might be much
wider and still the corn would cure we'll.
Any one wanting wider cribs can build
tina house wide enough to suit. / have
used this crib for about ten years and
can recommend it as an entire success.
The secret of this crib is putting the
lath on up and down this gives no place
for the rats to stand on to cut holes, and
the building being one foot above
ground they cannot reach the bottom.
We are infested with swarms Of gray
rats and there Is not building on the
farm from which We can keep them out
except the corn crib. We keep corn
over year until the new crop III gath.

No Time for Hating.


Begone with feud away with strife;
Our human hearts unmatingi
Let us be friends again This life
Is all too short for hatingl
So dull the day, so dim the way,
So rough the road we're faring-
Far better veal with faithful friend,
Than stalk alone uncaring
The barren fig, the withered vine,
Are types of selfish living;
But souls that give, like thine and mine,
Renew their life by giving.
While cypress waves DER early graves,
On all the way we're going,
Far better plant, where seed is scant,
Than tread on fruit that's growing
Away with scorn Since die we must
And rest on one low pillow;
There are no rivals in the dust
No foes beneath the willow.
So dry the bowers, so few the flowers,
Our earthly way discloses,
Far better stoop where daisies droop
Than tramp o'er broken rosesl
Of what are all the joys we hold
Compared to joys above usl
And what are rank, and power and gold,
Compared to hearts that love us?
So feet our years, so full of tears,
So closely death is waiting;-
God gives US space for loving grace,
But leaves no time for hating.

Religions Ncmn and No,cs.


The Congregational church at Yer
million, Oak, lost its house Of worship,
with all its furniture, by the recent
food.
Seventy years ago the first Christian
baptism of Hindoo took place. There
are now in India, Burmah and Ceylon
500, 900 native Christians.
A new uptown Methodist church is
projected in New York. 1t is proposed
to commence work when $500, 900 has
been raised, of which $4,000 has al
ready been subscribed.
According to the present programme
prepared for the Methodist Gcumenical
conference, to be held in London in
September next, Bishop Simpson is to
preach the opening sermon.
Some one has counted up the Sunday
school conventions, institutes and
assemblies held in this country during
1880. They numbered 1920, an aver
age of over 100 week. But the coun-
try is large, and these gatherings were
held in many widely-separated places.
The Fifth Avenue Baptist church,
of New York, needed repair and en-
bellishment. DR.. Armitage told his
people Of this need, and the conse-
quence was an immediate response by
solid men, who subscribed $29, 900. The
church will now be one Of the most
beautiful in the city.
New churches are being organized on
the Western mission fields of the Bap-
tist home mission society at the rate of
one for each week. In five years there
will be from $50 to 800 churches added
to our force. These, in addition to the
750 houseless churches now in the West,
will give at least 1000 churches requir-
ing attention from the society, either
to build OF to support pastors for O
time.-Erdniner
A religious paper in London speaks
Of the great annoyance which some min
listers suffer while preaching. from the
thoughtlessness of restless and fidgety
persons, who pull their watches from
their pockets or turn around to look at
the church clock. This paper says that
there ought to be law that whoever

Professor Proctor closes his lecture
on g The Star Depths with the follow
ing quotation from Jean Paul Frieder-
ich Richter:
God called up man into the vesti-
bule of heaven, saying: stCome thou
hither and see the glory Of My house."
And to the servants that stood around
His throne He said: Take him and
undress him from the robes Of flesh,
cleanse his vision and put new breath
into his nostrils; only touch not with
any change his human heart-the heart
that weeps and trembles." It was done,
and with mighty angel for his guide,
the man stood ready for his infinite
voyage; and from the terraces Of heaven,
without sound or farewell, at once they
wheeled into endless space. Some
times, with solemn flight of angel wing,
they fed through saharas of darkness,
through wildernesses Of death that
divided the worlds of life; sometimes
they swept along frontiers that were
quickening under prophetic motion.
Then from distance that is counted
only in heaven, light dawned for time
through sleepy film; by unutterable
pace the light swept to them, they, by
unutterable pace, to the light. In
moment the rushing of planets was
upon them In a moment the blazing
of suns was around them. Then came
eternities of twilight that revealed, but
were not revealed. On the right hand
and the left lowered mighty constella-
tions, that by self-repetitions and an
swers from afar that by counter posi-
tions built up triumphal gates, whose
architraves, whose archways-horizon-
tai, upright-rested, rose, at altitude
by spans that seemed ghostly from in
tnitude. Without measure were the
architraves, past number were the arch
ways, beyond memory the gates. With
in were stairs that sealed the eternities
below above was below-below was
above to the man stripped of gravitating
body-depth was swallowed upin height
unsurmountable, height was swallowed
up in depth unfathomable. Suddenly,
as they thus rode from infinite to in
finite-suddenly, as they thus tilted
over abysmal Worlds-a mighty cry
arose, that systems more mysterious,
that considerations more glorious, that
worlds more bllloWy, other heights and
other depths, were coming, were nearly,
were at hand!
Then the man sighed and stopped,
shuddered and wept. His overburdened
heart uttered itself in tears, and he
said: CANCEL, will go no further.
For the spirit Of man acheth with this
infnity. Insufferable is the glory of
the universe. Let me lie down in the
grave and hide myself from the perse-
cution of the infinite; for end there is
none" And from all the listening stars
that shone around issued a choral
voice; "The man speaks truly; end
there is none, that even yet we have
heard Of End there is noneI" The
angel solemnly demanded: Is there
indeed no end, and is this the sorrow
that kills you?" But no voice answered,
that he may answer himself. Then the
angel throws up his glorious hands
toward the heaven Of heavens, saying:
END there is none in the universe of
God. Lo also there was no beginning" !"
