Cleaning Teeth.

The majority of those who clean their
teeth do SO upon getting out of bed in
the morning and upon going to bed at
night. Personal convenience and COM
fort have appointed these times, but it
is better to cleanse them after every
meal The leaving of remnants Of food
between the teeth is what greatly helps
to make work for the dentist. If the
cavities and space between the teeth are.
filed with food, the teeth will decay
through the fermenting Of the little
remnants. Says writer on this topic.
We have now in mind al old gentle
man under whom we worked as second
hand in the weave shop twenty-one
years ago, who cleaned his teeth invaria-
bly, after he left his morning, noon and
evening meal, with reasonably stiff
tooth brush and the hardest old white
CASTLE soap he could purchase at the
druggists. -, III /.
Five cents worth of that soap, which
would amount to about third of an
ounce, for such soap is really valuable,
would last him three months. -. -
His soap and brush were always kept
in an inner vest-pocket rolled up in
clean white fnnel, which was as care
fully washed every week or changed
every week as the week came to its
end. avg, -. -. ....,.,.:. 49,:
This man at that time was fifty-fv
years of age and is still living, and his
teeth two years ago, when we last saw
him, would positively shame those of
any woman we ever saw. H.
He is now upwards of seventy, never
knew what the toothache was, never
had dentist look in his mouth except
to admire the teeth.
Unconsciously he had been following
the most common-sense practice
possible, avoiding chemical action and
attaining what not one in twenty
thousand Americans do attain-sound
teeth. IL

Governor Hoyt's School Days.
rom the Rochester Democrat.

From the Rochester Democrat.
"When I went to Lafayette College
in 1849," says Ex-Governor Hoyt, of
Pennsylvania, speaking of the good old
college days, lit cost me 81 cents a
week for board in the village. The col
lege charged $1.20, and we boys from
up the country thought we ought to
save little something, and so We
boarded at the cheaper rate in town.
The fare, as you may imagine, was not
luxurious, but it was coarse and sus-
tanning. Judge Schuyler, of North
ampton, the man now in contest with
Judge Reeder over the President Judge
ship Of the county in which our old
college is situated, was my classmate.
In 1848 we left the college, in. harvest
time and went across the country to-
work in the field during wheat cutting.
Nice buxom Dutch girls raked and we
bound. We worked week and each
received Sc more money than
we had ever had before. This
was so much gain on the allowance from
our parents. Ten millions now would
not look to me as big as that S. did
then. Schuyler and. i set our wits to
work to see how we could invest it.
We could buy a glass ofmead for 2 cents,
an ice cream for a ftp and eight cigars for
cent. Neither OF us could call up
vices enough to consume our fortune.
The $12 between us lasted the entire
fall and we had some left when We got
into mischief the same autumn and left.
He took the stage for his home near
Sunbury and I for Wiikesbarre. From
there we went to Williams College. and
graduated. just think, then We had to
stage it from my home 12O miles to .
railroad point in New Jersey. The
country has grown amazingly since
then, but the good old town of Easton
is but little changed, and my companion
of school days finds his way back there
and is aJudge. 81

4 Preserving Celery for the Winter.

New York Herald 2 ''' ~ 81 p y Y 81, d ~ e
The methods mostly recommended for win
tering celery, BY putting it into pits or trenches
covered with boards, straw, leaves or soil, may
do very well for the market gardener Or hrge
grower, who does it in Wholesale way, but it
is not At all adapted to the farmer He wants
celery often, and but q limited quantity alta
time, and when it Is put up by this method he
will go without sooner than dig it from under
the snow or frozen earth. Secure some deep
boxes, as deep, or nearly as deep, as the celery
leaf, stalks and all III the 90; TOMS are not

over the cracks. Then bore three or four
holes about four inches above the bottom.

plant, and place it III boxes as thickly as
the plants can be crowded together until the
box is filed, except little in one oorner.
Then crowd board down across the corner
diag0nally, $50 as to leave a space through
which you can pour water without wetting the
celery. When thus filed, plaza it in some dark
cellar, where it will remain as neer freezing as
possible and not freeze. Down the open cor

this sufficiently often, so that water shall be
always in the bottom Of the box; the holes
bored in the sides will prevent its rising high

Diamonds STAINED with Hood

Perhaps there has been more intrigue
and bloodshed on account Of the famous
Oriental diamond, Great Mogul, than
any other. t originally weighed 1877
karats, but BY cutting was reduced tc
279. It was apparently the highest aim
OF every reigning potentate in Asia to
place that gem in his crown Famous
intriguers had carte blanche from
their sovereigns to get il ct any cost.
Finally the Tarters, under Nadns Shah.
invaded the civilized country 81 and
captured it and about 500, 600, 900 in
in treasure bonds. That was century
and more ago, but not q word has been
heard Of the Great Mogul since. It is
supposed, however, that il is in one Of
the obscure fortreesses Of Asia Minor.
Diigent search is given mp, and when
it is found there will be sharp competi
ton between royalty and shoddy as to
who gets it. rs y: Ii VI
Russian potentates have always
wished to make greater show of wealth
than any others. The thrones of all the
Russians are miracles of wealth. The
throne Of the Empress is completely
covered with plates Of gold, and contains
1850 rubies and 5000 torquoises,
besides many other rare and costly gems.
The throne of the Gar, known as the
diamond throne, is truly a marvel. In
it are set over 900 diamonds Of the first
water. It is generally conceded that
Russia possesses more precious stones
than any other nation. majority of
which were procured at the expense d
blood. Tbs Jewels in the Cathedral 81
Moscow alone are valued at So, OOO, 900.
The great Orloff diamond, for which
Count Orloff paid $3.50, 600 aud 800. 600
a year to the seller for life, and title
to nobility, was a bloody gem, it having
been the prize at stake in several
.skirmishes. The Shah was another gem
on whose every facet could have been

Bismarck on Eloquence.

Bismarck is no orator. His speech
is simple and plain. He thinks that the
gift OF eloquence has done great deal
of mischief il Parliamentary life. It
tries, by appealing to the feelings, to
settle questions which should be set
tied by common sense.
When the Federal Council began it's
wor k, few of the members made elo-
quent speeches. Gentlemen" said
Bismarck, "there is nothing to be
achieved here by eloquence, because,
every one of you brings his convictions
along with him in his pocket; that IS,
his instructions. Oratory is only a
waste of time. Let us limit ourselves to
statements of fact" After that hint,
no one made long, much less an elo-
quent speech.
Herr Lasker, whose death in this
country was the occasion of little I'M
pleasantness, once delivered an eloquent
speech in the Reicshtag. "These elo-
quent gentlemen" said Bismarck, com
menting upon the speech, "are like a

Pain as Related to Meteoro1o9y.
It is generally known that depression OF

spirits and rheumatic pains have long been as
sociated with falling barometer and storm
brewing conditions--unusuallys severe neuralgia
attacks coinclding with unusually intense storm
development TO establish i'll his own case
this relation of pain and weather, Captain Cat
lin, Of the United States army, made irregular
and detailed record, in connection with the
weather variations, of the variations Of his
neuralgia pains. From, the published account,
Captain Catlin's foot was crushed by q shot in
1864, and it was necessary to amputate HIS leg
below the knee. He continued to experience
sensations Of pain, IS if in the lost member,
these sensations being greater or less accord
ing to the atmospheric disturbances Arranged
in months, March naturally took the lead as q
pain producer; then came, in order, January,
November, December May, Fe ruary, April,
August, October, September, July and June.
He traced tho average distance Of the storm
center at the beginning Of the pain attack by
investigating sixty well defined storms in ten
consecutive months it was $50 miles, ranging
from two to l ,2OO miles. III r
