The paucity Of marriages in Jamaica,

placed in the waste-baske and seasoned

educated at Elton. Having been soundly
birched he lay in wait for the master
who had inflicted this distasteful pun

which "created great sensation about

climax in the announcement that this

been lost sight of, has been identified as
Sitting Bull.
Life, in its latest installm ent of its mis-.
sionary articles on "American Aristoc-
Tacy," describes an American gent!e-
man who has very properly refused 10
loan his pictures to the horde of lower
class sympath:ze,s, who wish to disgrace
our chosen city with statue Of Liberty,
which some misguided French persons,
thinking we took some pride in our
form of government, have offered us.
What do we want with that bronze eth-
gy? or with what it represents? or with
the compliment aad sympathy it ex-
presses? Pab! If England, now, our dear
old mother country, whom We aristo-
Gratis are dreadfully sorry our grandfath-
ers thrashed-if England will only give
us colossal image Of George Il.-ab,
here is something we could and would
worship, gild and sing psalms to.

Care of the Teeth.
l. ''The best time for brushing the
teeth is at night just before retiring. II
at this time they are thoroughly
cleansed, one brushing day will suffice.
2. A medium sized brush with the bris-
ties serrated ornotched is best. Itshould
| not be too stiff nor too pliable. 8. The
motion of the brush should not be hor-
! izontal, but semi-rotary, as the bristles,
will enter all the iuterstices Of the teeth
and remove whatever has accumulated
! there. There is brush specially de-
| signed to cleanse the inside of tho teeth
and keep them free from tartar. 4, 4
! little hand glass, such as dentists use !,
! should form a part of every ones toilet.
With this and hand mirror she can
! know just what condition her teeth are
! in if she is careful in her examination.
S. 1t will be of comparatively little use
| to pay money to the dentist, if, between
/ intervals of attention from him the
| . outh is neglected and unkempt- e. A
set of dirty teeth is as rarely FOUND in
! the true lady or the true gentleman as a
| pair of dirty hands or dirty feet. 2. It
| is we'll to have ones teeth examined by
aldentist every six or twelve months. S.
Two ounces OF prepared chalk. half an
! ounce OF pulverized orris root and quar-
| ter of an ounce of cassia powder, mixed
| together, make a very good tooth pow
der. PuIverized charcoal is condemned
| as dentifrice by all who know what is
| good for the teeth.
