CONCERNING CLOTHES.
Men and Women Who Give All Their
Thoughts fO Dress.

Men and Women who Give All Their
Thoughts to Dress.
If it were not for clothes a great part OF
the world would have nothing to do, and
nothing to think about. Clothes are to some
what books and pictures and bric-a-brac,
music, poetry and conversation are TO 9TH
ers. They take the place of metaphysics,
astronomy and psychological research. Pos
sibly it may require as much thought to
plan a reception gown as to calculate an
eclipse, especially when the purse is slen-
der; TO imagine a new shape for "A bonnet, a
new orapery, new trimming, as to invent
philosophical solution of the universe or
to compose a symphony; but the mind is
more enlarged and enriched by the one than
by the other. We do not exactly want to
live for clothes, to satisfy our souls with
such material things, although many are
apparently content 10 give all their
leisure and thoughts TO them, and are no
sooner of with the old clothes than they
are on with the new. They always have a
dress-maker in the house and shopping on
hand. Their literature is fashion reports
They have no interests TO speak OF apart
from this frivolous pursuit, or none so
great, so absorbing. Happiness for such
people consists in wardrobe where no
omission can be detected. But let il not be
supposed that this alteration of clothes is a
peculiarly feminine trait, although many
believe so. Are not fop and eoxcomb both
in the masculine gender, and is there any
feminine synonym for themi OF course it
may be urged that men have nobler occu-
pations which consume their time. that their
minds are not so narrow as 10 be agitated
by the shape of a collar, but this is perhaps
only an argument in favor Of the higher
education Of women. If their minds were
as elegantly and suitably furnished as those
Of their brothers, would they not have
something more interesting 10 devote

DEess is a kind of recreation. like poetry

"What should a man use to clean his
teetls" was the question ASKED of a
well-known dentist recently. The
dentist replied, according to the Boston
Saturday Evening Gazette: Nothing
but water. There are more good teeth
ruined by so called dentifrices than by
all other causes in the world put to-
gether. The object of the makers of
these dentifrices is. of course, to pro-
duce a preparation that will, with every
little rubbing of the brush, make the
teeth look perfectly clean and white.
To accomplish this they put pumice-
stone. and sometimes strong alkalis, in
their preparations. Pumice-stone will
unquestionably take all the tartar off
the tooth; and it will also, just as I'M
questionably, take all the enamel with
it. An alkali will make yellow tooth
look white in a few seconds. but before
"A week has passed it will have eaten
away nearly all the enamel and utterly
destroyed the tooth. Ia walking along
the street you often see 'faker.' by
way of advertising his patent denti-
frice, call a small boy from the crowd
near by, and. opening the boys mouth,
rub the dentifrice on his dirty teeth,
and in minute almost take off all the
tartar and make the teeth look perfect
" pure and white. Now, a man like
that faker ought to be arrested, for he
has forever destroyed that boys teeth.
His preparation, composed Of power
full alkali, is eating away the enamel of
the 5oy's teeth. and in few months
the poor youngster will not have a
sound tooth in his head. The denti-
frices composed chiefly of pumice-stone
are not Us bad as those containing au
alkali, because they will not destroy
the teeth so quickly; but if used hab-
itually they will as certainly destroy
them in the end.
II should advise a man by all means
to use no dentritice of any description.
unless it be prepared chalk. If this is
used not oftener than once week. it
will not iniure the teeth, and may help
to cleanse them; but il should on no
account be used every day. Orris-root
does the teeth no harm, and gives a
plcasanter odor to the breath; and if
all dentrifces were composed simply Of
orris-root ard prepared chalk, they
would be harmless enough, if not bene-
fetal. My own plan is TO use a mod
erately hard brush and plenty of cold
water. aud nothing else, and my teeth
are in excellent condition. If people
would only pick their teeth carefully
after each meal, making sure that not
the slightest particle of food remained
near the gums or between the teeth,
and would also before retiring at night
rub piece of soft thread through their
teeth. they would not have any necessi-
ty for a dentrifce. OF course, sweets
and candies are bad for the teeth; so is
smoking. or taking either cold or hot
drinks; but, bad as these undoubtedly
are, really thiuk that the worst enc
my the tooth mas is the so-called dem
thrice. Take the advice of dentist
and never use anything for your teeth
but a brush and good cold water"

Hunting Antelones in TEXAS.

Wichita Falls (Tex.> Letter to the
Dallas News: The other day an un-
usually large crowd took an antelope
hunt. Each one was armed with
Winchester, and some had pistols.
They started early in the morning and
came back late. All morning they
meandercd over the prairie between
here and Red River and up and down
its banks, and not a single antelope
was seen until about l O'Clock, when
two of the party came in sight of some
twenty and followed them at distance
of half mile while the animals took a
straight course. The rest of the party,
who were scattered over the country
for ten miles around. stood still and let
their coursers rest until the herd should
come near, when they would fall in
and relieve the worn out chasers. Thus
the wild animal is broken down. The
bunch in question had been running
several hours. and the news cores
pendent, who happened to be along,
was sitting on the ground, his horse
standing by his side fresh, when Mr..
Houston rode up aud said he could go
no further-that his horse was broken
down. Just then we heard the herd
coming over the HILL. and in a jiffy it
came within fifty yards, not being able
to see us for the hill.
jumped on my horse and rode into
them, firing any pistol and missing
the antelopes with great precision every
time. They were broken down, though,
and confused With their tongues
hanging out they turned their course
and made, nevertheless, about mile
minute for the next five miles. kept
within sight, my horse in dead strain,
and followed them at a distance of 100
yards to their left. As we ran down
the ridge the NimrOds in Ambush were
shooting from every side and one of the
antelope's legs were broken, but this,
let me say, did not seem to interfere
with his speed, as il was hind leg, and
it hos been said that an antelope can
run faster on three legs than he can on
four. not having to waste time in putting
the fourth one down and taking it up.
They had run perhaps forty miles. now
ever, and could not stand it much
longer Once in a while they would
stop and look at me as tito ask. What
do you meanP" and finally they waited
until got ahead of them, when they
turned around and met the crowd
which had been following us. Then
they were penned, and in the midst of
the copfusion of fire and fagot, the
huntsman deliberately aimed at them
with their Winchesters and murdered
them in cold blood
Several antelOpes were killed here,
and one horses neck broken by stepping
In a prairie dog hole, standing on his
head, and sending his rider to the
ground some twenty feet distant. The
latter got up and limped to buggy
near by. but the faithful animal re-
manned on the ground to perfume the
prairie.
