Fears of a TOOthless Future.

The American tooth, the dentists tell us, is
something fast disappearing. What is to
take its place they leave to conjecture
Whether a toothless race is on its way or
whether a new animal is to be evolved from
the present human creature on this continent
is perhaps an open question. Whatever it is
that may come to pass the fancy recoils be-
fore the prospect Children of II years
often have 800 worth of gold in their
mouths, others needing as much quite as
badly, but unable to afford the outlay. Chill
dren of lG often wear complete sets of false
teeth and other children innumerable have
teeth that are decayed before they penetrate
the gum and that have TO be filled as soon as
they are in sight, the crumbling material and
thin enamel, even then, giving but little to
work upon.
At first it was thought all this resulted from
ignorance, from candy eating, from want OF
care and cleanliness. But it is understood
now that in most cases the fault is inherent
in the quality of the tooth, and the only rem
edy so far suggested is diet calculated with
especial reference to the making of sound
bone This is supposed to be found in the
coarse grains and food of similar character
and the most confirmed beef-eater alive yields
to the superiority at this point of the little
kernel of grain that feeds his beef itself

Priscilla and Puritan.

THE VARIOUS TESTS DURING THE CRUISE OF
THE New YORK YACHT CLUB.
New YORK, August 7.-Opinions differ
very much among yachtsmen on the claims
of the two new yachts. the Puritan and Pris-
ella to the title of champion sloop and the
right to be entitled to meet the visiting cutter
Genesta 10 the race for the America Cup, to
be decided next month. The results of the
actual races for the Goelet Cups and the
equally important races from port to port
during the New York Yacht Club course,
which terminated to-day at Newport, certain
" favor the claim of the Puritan. The two
yachts met at New London, the Boston boat
having come thus far west to meet the cruis-
ing feet, which then mustered over thirty
boats of all descriptions. The first run IN
company was from New London to Newport,
and with a moderate breeze the Puritan
reached her destination 81 seconds ahead OF
the Priscilla, That is on the actual time
from the time of passing the turning boat un-
til the arrival off Fort Adams. The Priscilla,
however. although she had Am. 23s. start, was
blanketed at the start. and when the two boats
were really under full headway the Puritan
was the leader. The Priscilla arrived at Fort
Adams four minutes in advance of the Pur-
itan, thus outsailing her by that difference OF
time. The Goelet Cup races, decided on Mon
day. were sailed under verv different clrcum-
stances, many yachts declining to encounter
the heavy weather outside. The Puritan
beat the Priscilla by 10 min. l6 sec actual
time, and with her allowance this was In
creased to IL min. 40 sec., corrected time.
The run to New Bedford followed on Wed
tuesday,, and in fair sailing bre-zs the Pris-
ella came 10 first the fleet in Oh. ON 3Isec.
Then the Oracle in Oh. l5m. 5sec.. and the
Puritan third. in 3h I'm. 7sec, From New
Bedford the run was to Cottage City on
Thursday and the breeze was strong. The
Puritan started about three minutes ahead of
the Priscilla and held her own for two hours.
when the throat halyards parted and the
mainsail came down with run. Ten
minutes were cut to waste in rectifying the
mishap, and this let the Priscilla get up even
to Ieeward. The Puritan, carrying the most
sail, reached the finish twenty-three seconds
ahead of her rival, but the latter won on
elapsed time by two minutes forty-four sec
onds. Taking into account the time lost
through the accident, the run of the Puritan
was decidedly the better of the two.
In Fridays run back to Newport the breeze
was light, and the supporters of the Priscilla
were surprised to see the Puritan walk away
from them and reach her destination con-
siderable distance in philadelphia

1t is interesting to observe the strong
feeling shown by the colored people of
New York in regard to the death of Gen.
Grant Those who hold to the once COM
mon view that they were mercurial and
superficial race, incapable of permanent
convictions and careless of everything but
the passing excitement of the hour.would
be shaken in their belief did they stroll
into the neighborhood most affected by
the negroes, and note the extent to which
the houses were draped in mourning.
Most of the decoration was necessarily
cheap and crude. for the people are poor,
but there was enough of it to show a gen.
eral purpose and a genuine feeling. 1t
has also been remarked that the colored
citizens have been strongly represented in
the line of visitors to the City Hall, and
hundreds of them have taken their chill
dren with them. and held the little ones
up that they might look upon the face of
the dead General.
