Besides his science he has been a member of

Previous to 1873 the distinguished gentle
man was plain Dr. LYON Playfair. Then
he was knighted and became Sir Lyon. 1t
might, perhaps, have looked in better taste
for him to have refused the title as being
far less noble than the simple name OF a

The Teeth.

The other day at dinner party a pretty
young LAZY had soft cream-colored dress
ON. 1t WIS cut square in tie bodice and
her neck was like lily for whiteness. So
was her face, except. her cheeks, which
were a pleasant rose tint. Perhaps art had
helpei their pinkness, but that is neither
here nor there. She was a bright, lively
girl, and quite attractive in general way.
But her teethl Wei. they looked Ike a
tobacco chewer's, that's the long and short
of it. They had an appearance as though
they had never been brushed By contr asst
With the white dress and the rose and lily
complexion they became so repulsive as to
be hideous. When the girl sm led, which
she did very often. it made sensitive per-
son snu ider.
1t was a disgrace and a shame. Water
and tooth brushes are cheap. So is tooth
powder. Fancy a girl with diamond ear
rings whose teeth looked like decay and
death.
No diamonds are SO becoming to beauty
as set of clean, sound, white teeth. There
is a sparkle to them. fash between red
lips, that nothing else can give.
Take care of your teeth if you wish to
be handsome. Brush them carefully every
night this last thing bsfore you go to bed.

the people OF Europe. They take better

much improvement in this respect.
