Salt rs "a Destroyer Of the Teeth.


AT recent meeting of the New
York Chronological Society, DIR. f.
Parmly Brown said:
l will venture the assertion that the
excessive Use of common salt is one Oi
the main factors in the destruction Of
human teeth to-day. | am now en-
gagged IN collecting some statistics on
this point, from which hope in time
to demonstrate. what seems to me to
be the fact, that common salt excess
sively used is "a great solvent of the
human teeth. Ii it will injrTe the
human teeth through the chemistry OF
our systems in some way or other that
| will not try TO explain tonight, why
might it not also have the effect of pre-
venting good development of the teeth
when taken into the system i'm excess
l have lately procured some statistics
from the Sandwich Islands, from gen.
tleman who has been there, covering a
period of over forty years, that are very
suggestive and interesting. Within
that period the teeth of the Sandwich
Islanders have decayed rapidly, and
since they have begun to decay it has
been noticed that the natives are in the
habit of biting Off great chunks of salt
and eating it with their food. Accord
ing to all accounts, the teeth of the
Sandwich Islanders We're formerly the
most free from decay of any people on
the face of the earth, if 1 remember
rightly. You will find that people who
eat great deal of salt and a great deal
of sugar are often entirely tootbless. i
know several instances of candy store
keepers where three generations are
entirely toOthless. People who eat an
excessive amount of salt are tempted to
eat large quantities of candy, pickles
and vinegar. There seems to he q
craving for those substances after the
excessive use of salt.

kentucky Boys and their Texas
SchoOl

The editor of the Bulletin, Burnet,
Texas, attended the commencement
exercises of the College at Liberty
Hill, presided over by our former county
men, Messrs. Ellis and Pendleton
Coleman, and has this to say
"Allusion has been made to this
Commercial and Normal College as
phenomenal. That is the word. Less
than two years ago, two young Ken
tuckians, seeking recreation from their
labors as teachers, came to Liberty
Hill, and by the merest accident Sc
cured the public school there. They
attracted attention by their splendid
physique, their modest but manly
bearing and soon won their way to the
confidence of the people. despite the
opposition that crosses the path of
every worthy enterprise. Assuming
control of u class of thirty in a divided
district, to-day their matriculation rolls
show two hundred and fifty-four names,
with the prospect of a still greater in
crease at the next session. The good
effect upon the community has been
great. The last term brought sixty
boarding students; new houses are
going up; the merchants are doing a
good business real estate is appreci-
ating all the time, and families are
moving into town. as to Burnet, to get
the benefit of its splendid school. SO
great is the estimate placed upon the
value of this institution to the place,
that public-spirted and leading citi>
zen informed the writer that between
the railroad and the college, if he had
to give up one or the other, Ire would
surrender the railroad. The central
idea of the college is education for the
practical affairs Of life. And to illus.
trate the plan, All enthusiastic patron,
who attended all through the three
days exercises, says just the examina-
tiOn of a class i'm mathematics was
worth the visit. The professors would
solve problem. When done, they
would raise some objection to the man
ner of working it, and in a few min
utes they would have the whole class
debating and cross firing. to the infinite
amusement of the audience, and the
great benefit of the students themselves,
who were thus publicly impressed with
the Importance of understanding thor
oughly what they learned, when called
on ITO give reason for the faith that
was in them" We are also cited to a

This grand dictaium comes from the

usuage, the committee at a meeting

any other announced aspirant, recon-
mended and announced James w.
Tate ~ the Democratic candidate for
State Treasurer. Notwithstanding this
action, n small faction of the party now
opposes Mr.. Tate, and is giving aid and
support To Mr.. Fox, The Prohibition
candidate. While codemning this lack
of fidelity to party organization, | de-
sire to call the attention of the local
county organizations to the duty de-
volviDg on them To rebuke this in fidel'
ity, and tO see that full vote for the
Democratic ticket il polled. This il
regarded as most important, inasmuch
as the Republican Central Committee,
while making no nomination. has is-
sued an address which implies an in-
tentiOn on the tart of that party to at
tempt to secure the defeat of Mr.. Tate
by voting for MIR. Fox. This alliance
must he defeated. To this end I ap-
peal to every county chairman who
holds himself worthy of his position,

would soon destroy the prestige of our
party.

%, Lor' HIT In Ag'in!~


In the early days OF Methodism in
Scotland, a certain congregation, where
there was but one rich man, desired to
build new chapel. A church meeting
was held. The old rich Seotchman
rose and said: "Brethren, We dinna
need new chapel. I'll give 6 for re-
pairs"
Just then bit Of plaster falling from
the ceiling hit him ON the head.
Looking up and seeing how bad il
was, he said: Brethren, it's wOrse
thon ;houcht; III make it 20 pOun'. :"
"Oh, Lord" exclaimed devoted
brother ON a back seat, "hii i'm ag'in."
There are many human tabernaeles
which are in sore need Of radical build

The White House Authoress---Au
thor of George Eiiot's Essays
and Other Studies.''

Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, sister
Of President Cleveland and Mistress of
the White House, is, by virtue Of that
relationship and position, the first lady
of the land. She has, however, a
celebrity independent of these acci-
dents, one due TO circumstance never
before occurring to any person in the
world. Her book, George Eliot's Es-
says and Other Studies" went TO the
sixth edition before it was published
an honor hitherto unknown i'm the
history of literature. Miss Cleveland is
the youngest of nine children. She
was born in Fayetteville, y. Y. She
was carefully educated, graduating at
Houghton Seminary. Then she be-
came n teacher in that institution !;
then principal of Lafayette Collegiate
Institute, Indiana, and then taught a
private school i'm Pennsylvania, after
which she commenced lecturing before
classes. After her mothers death,
which occurred in 1882, she resided at
the old homestead at Holland Patent,
which she purchased out of the earn
ings of her own labor, and continued
the work lof lecturing until called upon
by her brother to assume the duties of
mistress of the White House.
From all accounts Miss Cleveland's $
book il already an assured financial
success. Ii does not often fail to the
lot of President to have so close a
relative with such well-defined literary
tastes. The publication of books by
eminent personages in Europe has
however, not always been graded by
their intellectual vigor. Any king,
queen or princeling can write book
nowadays, and it will be sure to find
large sale. Whether it sells for its
mental worth Is, however, open to
question. In this country also there
are doubtless hundreds of curiosity
readers who will read Miss Cleveland's
book for the chief reason that it is
written by the Presidents sister, Her
subjects are broad and deep, and her
treatment of them is noticeable for an
honest desire TO do them Justice.
Whether she has succeeded or not there
is a diversified opinion. Her observa-
tions on George Eliot's writings contain
some of her hest thoughts, and may be
said to include the gems of her work.
They contain high standard of Chris
tian morality, and in this respect at
least will find favor among u large
section Of the community, who, while
admiring George Eliot's genius, con,
denim with charitable condemnation
her agnosticism.
The same element of Christian SUBJ
ordination to the true requirements of
an implicit faith in divine controller
permeates her writings throughout.
To quote specific instances would ne
cessitate an exhaustive treatise of the
whole. At times it may seem that
Miss Cleveland is verbose and unneces.
sarily tedious in the enunciatiOn of her
ideas, but withal her writings have the
true ring of sterling metal refined in
the crucible of humanity.

Good Advice.

Mr.. :. G.. McElroy gives the fellow
ing advice in the Princeton Banner:
LET me urge upon you. my friends,
whether Democrats or Republicans,
white or colored. the necessity of maxi
ing yourself heard by voting the Pro-
hibition ticket at the coming August
election, and at all other times when
an opportunity is offered. You may
make temperance speeches and talk of
the crimes that whisky produces until
you die of old age. and you will do but
little good unless you vote for the men
who will make laws that will prohibit
the sale of the vile, cursed stuff. Some
men, and clever men, too, are so blind
ed by party politics that they will vote
for any man, provided he is a Demo
crat or Republican, as the ease may be,
before they will scratch their party
ticket. IL you are afraid your ''dear
party" will suffer by your voting the
Prohibition ticket, just hunt up a good
man OF the Opposite party and pair OIL
with him, and vote for Judge Fox, the
Prohibition candidate for State Treas.
urer. But if you cannot find one who
will pair with you, can't you sum up
moral courage enough to vote against
this great evil, Instead of voting simply
for "dear party?" My friends, politics
doesn't make men gentlemen, nor do
they make all men rascals; but if all
the temperance men i'm the State were
to vote for Judge Fox on the coming
August 3d, it would open the eyes OF
the politicians and party bosses to a
consideration of what would be next,
and the result can easily be seen If the
temperance people will do their duty"

Words of Wisdom


The instructions delivered by Judge
l.. p. Little yesterday were very able,
and he pointed out their lessons of duty
in IA manner at once rlain and impress
siye. Below is summarization of
two OF the more salient points In bis
discourse
License is granted to tsvernkeeI ers
and coffeehousekeepers to do business
as such. Certain restrictions are
placed upon them as to their mode of
business. They give bond, when OBJ
tanning license, stipulating, among
other things, that they twill not suf-
fer any person to tipple or drink more
than is necessary in their houses or on
their premises" Is this covenant
kept? Some tavern or cofieehousekeep-
ers may do so, but do all? Is there
anybody in this community drinking
more than is necessary? Is it necessary
for man to drink until he wastes
all his property, destroys his energies
and burns himself bodily up?
Men who have given the bond re-
fer to are continually selling to those
who are doing there things.
The law provides that places where
liquor is sold shall not be kept open or
do business on the Christian Sabbath.
1t is public rumor that many persons
having license do this-openly defiant
ly, persistently. Such conduct on the
part Of those having license is helping
the prohibition movement more than
all the orators engaged ia tnat cause
could possibly do.

There are vows which've ne'er been 4,

And hopes which are Siified by fears.
