Hygiene of the Teeth.

A hard crust is the best possible dem
tifrice. I never could get myself to
believe in the natural necessity of a
toothbrush. The African nations, the
Hindoos, the natives of Southern Eu-
rope, the South-Sea Islanders, the
Arabs, the South American vegetarians,
in short, three-fourths of our fellow
men, besides our next relatives, the
erugivorous animals, have splendid
teeth without sozodont. 1 really believe
that ours decay from sheer disuse; the
boarding house homo lives chiefly on
.ap-wsnts all his meats ft-boiled,
aud growls at cold buiscuit or an under
done potato; in other words, he dele
gates to the cook the proper functions
of his teeth. We hear occasionally OF
old men getting a second, or rather
third, set of teeth. met one OF them
ia Northern Guatemala, and ascertained
that he had become toothless during a
twelve years sojourn in seaport, town,
and that he got his new set upon his re-
s,,rn to his native village, where circum-

Our Young Folks.
THE REASON WHY

Dear little girl. Gliding the morning long.
With pouting lip and eyes all wet and blue,
Counting it as hard ship and a wrong
That other children are more loved than
you.
"'Tis so unjust" you say, "and so unkind,'
Bending the while Il puzzled, angry brow
" How can you help tiff you will not mind,
Nor think me cruel, will tell you how.
Sweet things from sweet, and fair from fair
must be;
Hearts have their wages, recl.onings strict
ae made:
we scold rebel. but other people see
That, soon or late, we are exactly paid.
The willing love which counts not any cost.
But daily lavisbes its first and best,
AlthOu2 h to eleSS eyes its pains seem lost,
Reaps in the end Il tcn-fold interest;
While selfish souls. who keep strict account
And tally like huckster in his stall,
Or all they give and feel, and the amount,
Love is not free to take, like sun and air;
Nor given away for naught toa1y one;
1t is no common right for men to share
Like all things precious, it is sought and
won.
So if another is more loved than you.
Say not: 1t is uni uSt, but say: IF she
Has earned more love than 1, it is her due:
When L deserve more, it will come to me-
But if your longing be for love, indeed
I'll teach you how to win it-a sure way:
Lore and he tOCelB; that is all you need.
And what you wish for will be yours some
day.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

1t has been found in India that dis
infection with sulphur fumes is valua-
BILE preventive of cholera.
The bricks of Nineveh and Babylon
were only sun-dried, not baked, as is
the modern practice.
Electric lighting is in successful OPP
Grafton on more than sixty steamers of
the Mississippi River and its tributaries.
Prof. Guthrie has succeeded in pro-
ducing a blue black protective skin, or
coating, on polished steel by simply
dipping it in melted nitrate of potash.
The bloom greatly improves the ap-
pearance of the steel, and it appears to
wear WELL
1t is said that DR.. Gehring, of Land
shut, in Bavaria, by means OF an en-
ameling liquid, renders any species OF
stone or cement harder than granite.
The process, it is further reported, ad
mits of being applied to metal, which is
completely protected from rust.
AS the cold produces changes in
organic substances closely resembling
those caused by heat, a Hungarian
chemist proposes to cook fresh beef by
exposing it to temperature of 33 deg.
medically sealed cans, and is thus pre-
served in perfect condition for long
time.
"A French farmer uses a portable
telephone to carry on the work of his
farm without going away from the
house. His plan is simply to have a
tripod carrying movable roller, on
which is wound a conducting cable

this on a movable board is a small box,
in which is placed telephone and bell.
The system allows the current to pass
from the bell to the telephone without
using a commutatOr. Thus, the tele-
phone being at rest, the bell is in con-
nection with the line, and when the tel
ephone is in use the bell is cut out of the
circuit. Another telephone and bell are
commutator.
Herr lander, a German musical d.
rector, has made public some interesting
observations on the relations between
the condition of the human voice and
that of the weather. He says that apart
from the inevitable changes in the into
nation, purity, and strength of the voice
resulting from physical variations, such
as illness, nervous tension, and the like,
he has noted other influences of baro-
metrical nature that seem to indicate
approaching changes in the weather. In
clear weather about to change into that
of dismal, rainy character his voice
became weak, and showed tendency to
grow deeper. In wet weather about to
clear up and become dry and bracing,
the opposite was the case. The voice
became bright, clear, and strong, and
was disposed to strike too high a pitch.
Herr lander was director of church
choir and teacher of singing in high
school for many years, and had ample
opportunity of verifying these conclu-
siOnS.

stances obliged him to resume the hard
corn-cake diet of his boyhood years.
His teeth had reappeared, as soon as
their services were called for, and would
probably never have absented them
selves if pap-diet had not made them
superfluous. An artificial dentifrice will
certainly keep the teeth white, but that
does not prevent their premature decay;
disuse gradually softens their substance,
till one fine day the hash-eater snaps his
best incisor upon an unexpected piece
of bone. Every old dentist knows hum
dreds of city customers whom the daily
use of a toothbrush did not save from
the necessity of applying, before the end
of the fortieth year, for complete "cel-
luloid set.' [ do not say that a soft
toothbrush and such dentifrices as
oatmeal or burned arrow-root can
do any harm, but, for sanitary
purposes, such precautions must be sup
plemented by dental exercise. Let a
child invigorate its teeth by chewing a
hard crust, or, better yet, a handful of
est. Johns bread'' or carob-beans, the
edible pod of the Min0s0 siiiqud. Chill
dren and whole tribes of the northern
races seem to feel an instructive desire
to exercise their teeth upon some solid
substance, as pet squirrels will gnaw the
furniture if you give them nut-kernels
instead of nuts. Thus Kohl tells us that
the natives of Southern Russia are adj
dicted to the practice of chewing a veg
etable product which he at first sup.
posed to be pumpkin or melon seeds,
but found to be the much harder seed of
the Turkish sunflower (Helianthus Pc
rennis). Their national diet consists OF
milk, hukuruz (holniny, with butter,
etc. }, and boiled mutton, and they seem
to feel that their Turkoman jaws need
something more substantial. The school,
boy habit of gnawing pen-holders, fin
ger-nails, ETC., may have similar sig
nificance. The Minaosa siliqua would
yield abundantly in our Southern States,
and it's sweet pods would make an ex-
excellent substitute for chewing gum.
Our practice of slipping ice-cold and
steaming hot drinks, turn about, has
also very injurious effect upon the
brittle substance that forms the enamel
of our teeth; no porcelain glaze would
stand such abuse for any length of time.
and experience has taught hunters and
dog-fanciers that it destroys even the
bone-crushing fangs of the animal from
which our canine teeth derive their
name.-Dr. Fclir l.. OsaCald, IN Popular

A Modest Request.

"Darling, wake up and stop snor-
ing,'' said Detroit woman to her hus-
band.
"Eh! Whazza matter nowP' he
asked, as he half raised up in bed.
won't you please stop snoring? If
you only knew how homesick it made
me I'm sure you would"
Homcsick! How the deuce can my
innocent snore make you homesick?'
"Why, you know, darling, that the
home on the coast from which you took
me a joyous bride was only half mile
from Government fog horn, and every
time you snore it reminds me so of home
that just can't stand it. Please lay on
your side and have some little respect
Tor my feelings" :.
And then the brute spread himself
out on his back and in five minutes had
her bathed in tears as visions of the old
home crept upon her.-Detrost Free

The II lbit OF Saving.

Children who have a little money
ought to practice saving something.
Many boys and girls of to-day hardly
know a higher use for any money that
comes into their hands than spending
it for some foolish thing as quickly rs
possible. To such a lesson in self-de-
NAL and economy is very important. AS
go the boys pennies and dimes, so, very
likely, will 60 the mans dollars and
hundreds by and by. Without having
the spirit of miser, the person ac-
customed to save has more pleasure in
laying up than spendthrift ever
knows.
The way to keep money is to earn it
fairly and honestly. Money SO obtained
is pretty certain to abide with its pos
SCISSOR. But money that is inherited, or
that in any way comes without fair
and just equivalent, is almost certain to
90 as il came. The young man who be-
gins by saving few dollars a month
and thriltily increases his store-every
coin being a representative of good,
solid work, honestly and manfully done
stands better chance to spend tho
last half of his life in aflluence and
comfort, than he who, in his haste to
become rich, obtains money by dashing
speculations, or the devious means
which abound in the foggy region ~
ing between fair dealing and actual
fraud. Among the wisest and most
thrifty men of wealth, the current
proverb is-mo1ey goes rs il comes.
Let the young make u note of this, and
see that their money comes fairly, that
it may long abide with them.-EI-
chGH0e.

sets and the shadows OF old ruins.
witches and COLLINS gathered. In
course of time, the hallowing fire came
to be considered protection against
these malicious powers. 1t was GUS
tom in the seventeenth century for the
master of a family to carry a lighted
torch of straw around his fields, to pro-
tect them from evil influence through
the year, and, as he went, he chanted
an invocation to the fire.
Because the magic powers were
thought to be so near at that season,
All.hallow Eve was the best time of the
year for the practice of magic, and SO
the customs of the night grew into all
kinds of simple, pleasant divination, by
which it was pretended that the swarm
ing spirits gave knowledge of the III
ture. Even nowadays, it is the time,
especially, of young lovers divinations.
and also for the practice of curious and
superstitious rites. And almost all of
these, if traced to their sources. lead
us back to that dim past out of which
comes SO much of our superstition and
fable.
But belief in magic is passing away,
and the customs of All-hallow Eve
have arrived at the last stage; for they
have become mere sports, repeated
from year to year like holiday celebra-
tons.
Indeed, the chief thing which this
paper seeks to impress upon your
minds in connection with All-hallow
Eve is that its curious customs show
how no generation of men is altogether
separated from earlier generations. Far
as we think we are from our uncivllized
ancestors. much Of what they did and
thought has come into our doing and
thinking with many changes perhaps.
under different religious forms, and
sometimes in jest where they were in
earnest. Still, these customs and OBJ
servances (of which All-hallow Eve is
only one) may be called the piers upon
which rests bridge that spans the
wide past between us and the gener-
ations that have gone before.
