rIOSE FTGTRING.

A newspaper statistician informs US that
at the present rate Of decadenee the Ameri-
cans Of the coming generation will have no
teeth whatever. What is the matter with
our teeth? Ii is not the climate. The In
disns have sound teeth. 1t is not our form
Of government, for the Romans and Italians
of the middle age republics had good teeth,
and the people Of San Marine have no use
for dentists. Our statistical friend has evil
IDENTITY figured the matter down TO a fine
point. lie takes the position that religion
has a positive influence 10 Fastening or re-
ts,Ging the decay Of teeth aad makes the
broad, general proposition That Protestant
teeth are inferior 10 Roman Catholic teeth.
The fres. teeth in the world belong 20
the Neopoii,ans. and they axe almost ex-
c'usiyely Catholic. It is 50 in
all Catholic countries. But
when Won come to Protestant Germany
Sweden, England a2d America YOU strive
bad teeth and plenty Of them. 1t is said,
however, that there are exceptions TO this
rule. CalvaniSw, .or instance, seems to
harden t~hesenamel Of the teeth and to favor
their growth. This probably accounts for
the sound condition of teeth in New Eng
land fifty years ago, and explains the dis
appearance of the teeth in that section.
Why different religious beliefs should have
different affects upon teeth is a mystery, and
the statistical gentlemen,w who favOrs us with
the above conclusions, throws no light up
on the subject. The matter viii doubtless
undergo a thorough investigation.

PROTECTION SENTIMENT IN ENGLAND.


The Earl Of puurayen, who moved in the
House Of Lords Saturday tor the appoint,
nsnt Of a ;oint commission from the Houses
CtLords and Commons 10 inquire into the
cause Of the depressed condition Of trade
and agriculture, : the same gentleman who
presided at a meeting in bennington last
November, held for the purpose OF agitating
the subject of return to protection. ut
that meeting the Earl Of Dunraven took
the position that far from free trade the Gus
toms duties OF England were arranged in
a way that fall a heavier burden upon those
who ought to feel them most lightly.
He advocated a revision Of the tariff in a
two-fold direction and for two reasons.
First of all, duty should be raised upon arti-
clss of real luxury used only by the few,
such as lace, silks. satin aud pianos. This,
he regarded, was not imposing a duty for
the sake of Protection, out upon luxury for
the sake Of revenue. But if incidentally
you give protective benefit to mJusay at
home, so much the better.
This sound doctrine is growing in Eng
land, although the Government, as the
cable dispatches inform US, is inclined to re-
fuse to appoint a royal commission, on the
ground that the inquiry would have no
practical result" The real reason for the
refusal is the fear that such a commission
would be construed as evidence oGthe fall
LiEty Of Free Trade. The people, how
ever, and especially the working classes,are
are bound to have this royal commission,
and the Tories, seeing that it is a winning
card. will continue to urgeit.
