RENT FROM A DENTIST.
Tartar Nos Sc Harmful 10 the Teeth as
 SILK Floss.

Tartar Nos Sc Harmful 10 the Teeth as
 SILK Floss.
 ssI can tell you," said dentist, ''some-
 thing that will be worth $25 to you before you die, and which would be worth the same amount to every other man in New York city who employ dentist, if he dnew it."
 The manipulator of the forceps and mallet was talking to 8 newspaper man who had been plying his trade of interlocutor while reclining in the dentists chair.
 "You ask me just now, when I was clean ing your teeth before filling them, if I did not use dental silk foss-or, as we dentists call it, 'tspe'-to cleanse the interstices be- tween your teeth. have no no doubt but that you will say that all the other dentists you have resorted to used it. and I have no doubt that they recommended you to buy skein of the infamous stuff and to use it every day.
 'tNow, to tell you the truth, would rather see & friend of mine not clean his teeth at all | than 10 see him employ the tape. When your denti6t recommends you to use it he ex- plains, suppose, to you that it's action pre- vents the accumulation of tartar between the teeth. Undoubtedly it does. ''But, in the first place, the deposit of tar- | tar upon the surface of the teeth is not near | ly as great an evil as many dentists try to | make their patients believe it to be. Now, \ the reason we tell patient not to let the l teeth become covered with tartar is not be- l cause it produces curies, but because it tends Y to loosen the teeth.
 "The tartar grows down toward the gums and if it is neglected, will in time cover them l pushing away the gums from the teeth and 1 in that way, you see, it makes them loose. So, after all, the tartar is only so far hurtful as it tends to make the teeth insecure. "Now, curiously enough, the silk floss which you have been recommended to use has, in nine cases out of ten, exactly the I same effect-it loosens ithe teeth. Indeed. it is so dangerous that, although it is more convenient to use it than to employ very thin instrument to remove the tartar from between the teeth, yet I only use the floss | when the patients teeth are unusually far | apart.
 | "Our trade, like other trades, Is full of tricks and when your dentist advises you to
 use tape between your teeth he is either making you victim of one of the tricks of | the trade, or else he is an ignorant ass." ] At this stage of the conversation the den- tist said, "Five dollars, please" and the in- | terview ended.

A memb5r of the legislature of Arkansas recently had occasion to nominate a young lady for the office of enrolling clerk. He is reported as having met the responsibility of his position in this superb manner: "I shall not say that the one I name is as beautiful as the angels are, for have never seen an angel and know not how beautiful they are, but I will say that If angels look like the lovely maiden whose name I put in nomination the angels are beautiful indeed" But she didn't get elected.
 The opponents of the consolidation of the town and oity governments thus far seem to have decidedly the best of the argument. There is but little interest in the matter in the city, and what "sentiment" there is is divided It will be hard to show before the legislature that consolidation is very general ly or warmly desired, and easy to show that the "outsiders" are generally and warmly opposed to it. It will come naturally and easily when the time is ripe for it. Until then there is little wisdom in trying to force it.
 Some very important amendments to the interstate commerce law were agreed upon in the closing hours of congress and received the Presidents signature. One of these new provisions adds imprisonment to the fine be- fore provided for violation of the law in re- gard to discrimination in rates and charges Any officer, agent or other person connected with railroad company found guilty of these offenses will now find himself face to fact with the iron bars and clammy walls of tho penitentiary in place of light fine which the company would have to pay.

MEAN TEMPERATURE.
It Has Not C hanged Appreciably for Two
Thousand Years.

It Has Not C hanged Appreciably for Two
Thousand Years.
The sun is the principal cause of the
variations in the temperature of the
atmosphere, and the amount of heat
received depends upon the elevation of
the sun above the horizon and the
transparency of the atmosphere. The
air Is heated in three ways, by the di-
rect rays of the sun, by contact with
the earth and by radiation from the
earth, the first being by far the most
important, as it is estimated that three
fourths of the suns rays are absorbed
by the atmosphere, and the remainder
are absorbed by the earth. The
internal heat of the earth is, it is true,
reckoned as a subordinate source of
heat, but it is so to such an infinitesi-
NAL degree that it is hardly worth
while to take it into account. The
temperature of any place, therefore
varies from hour to hour, according as.
in it's rotation, its relative position to-
ward the sun is changed, and the rays
fall upon it with more or less direct
ness. By taking of the tenn
perature at each hour of the day we
find the temperature for the
twenty-four hours, and by continuing
this through a twelve-month we find
the e temperature for any month,
or for the entire year. The hourly
variations are extremely regular, but
the mean temperatures Of the months,
in different years, may vary consider
ably. The mean yearly temper
ature also is not the same
every year for the same place, but
the difference between the warmest
and the coolest years is seldom over
ten degrees. 1t is necessary to take
the average of several years to get the
true mean of any place; in a climate as
variable as our own about twenty-five
years should be taken. 1t is never
safe to predict that one season, or one
year, which has been unusually hot or
exceptionally cold, will be followed by
a season or year of quite the opposite
character to restore the balance of
heat or cold. This balance is restored,
however, in the lapse of seasons, and
the mean temperature of any place is
found to be virtually constant from
one century to another. 1t is there
fore the opinion of many scientists
that the mean temperature of no place
on the earth's surface has changed
appreciably for 1000 years.-Chicago

Patrick Egan's Appointment.

The Boston Pilot, one of the lead
ing Irish newspapers in the United
States, is not Republican in politics.
but on the contrary generally sup
ports the Democracy. The Pilot,
however, warmly endorses the ap-
pointment OF Patrick Egan as minis
ter to Chilli, and intimates that it isa
stronger recognition of the Irish than
that nationality received from the
Pilot says:
Patrick Egan has been confirmed
by the senate as minister to Chill.
The appointment calls out notes of
surprise from certain quarters; but
from every point of view it is a good
one for the Republican administra-
ton to have made.
To represent the material ormoral
interests of the United States Mr..
Egani is highly qualified. If Mr.. Blaine's
old policy of securing South American
trade for our merchants is to be re-
newed, Mr.. Egan, it is safe to say, will
be our ablest minister on the South
ern Continent. AS a political stroke
the appointment was courageous and
wise on President Harrison's part
and Well-merited on Mr.. Egan's, for
there is no stauncher or mOre energetic
Republican than he. His appoint
ment stops the cry of anti-Irishmen,
sc Jar as the Republicans of this ad-
ministration areconcerned. Itrecog-
nizes the citizenship of the foreign
born in a singularly emphatic way.
1t is an appointment that our late
Democratic secretary of state would
not have the pluck or Judgment to
advise. The lesson it teaches is for
the Democratic politicians to study.
Therelsn distrust of the peoplewho
supported himi in President Harrison,
as, we are sorry to believe, there was
In President Cleveland, when he re-
fused to appoint SO eminent a Demo-
GRAFT and SO great a helper as Hon. P.
A. Collins to a seat in his cabinet, and
preferred a Massachusetts, Mugwump
like MI. Endicott.
The appointment of Patrick Egan
goes to the unification of the Americ-
an people. 1t strikes down race bar
riers more effectively than the Bay
ard-Endicott-Phelps clique of "schol-
ars in politics raised them up. If it
weakens the tie that has bound Irish
Americans to the Democratic party,
as it is obviously intended to do, it is
the fault of the Democratic party it.
self.
Whichever way it is considered we
hail this appointment as good sign.
1t hastens homogeneity; it wipes out
Know-Nothing distrust it recognizes
onlygood citizenship, patriotism and
intelligence, and it gives us in a rich
and growing American country, with
which we have scarcely any CONNER
cial relations, a minister who is fully
qualified to tie the diplomatic strings
that will soon draw into place the
great cables of international trade.
