CARE OF The TEETH.

a Mine of Valuable Information on a Mat
ter OF Great Importance
The teeth are a very peculiar part
of our organization They do not be-
long to the bony skeleton, but, like the
scales of the crocodile, are appendages
of the skin. Their enamel is the hard
est animal product in nature, and
is almost pure phosphate OF lime, thus
resembling mineral Unlike every
other portion OF the body, the teeth
come in two distinct sets, separated by
an interval of between four and five
years The first set consists of twenty
veeth, the second of thirty-two.
The second, or permanent set, are
larger and harder, as well as more
numerous, than the first As the sec
ond set-with the exception of the wis
dom teeth-are formed before the
first a"e shed, a five-year-old child may
have at the same time fifty teeth in his
head!
The visible part of the tooth is
called the CROWN the part hidden in the
Jaw. the fang; the part just within the
gum, the neck.
tooth consists of the enamel; the
dentine, or bony substance, beneath
the enamel; the pulp, which fills an
internal cavity extending from within
the crown down to the extremity of the
fang; and the cement. which covers
the fang somewhat as the enamel COW
ers the crown
The pulp contains nerves and yes
sells which enter the fang at its point.
The dentine consists of microscopic
tubes, into which the pulp penetrates
TO nourish it and give it sensitiveness.
The cement is covered with a mem
brane analogous to that which covers
the bones and ministers TO their sup
port and which has the function of
promoting their renewal when they
are partially destroyed.
This cement membrane will unite
vitality to the jaw another tooth which
has been inserted in place of one ex-
tracted- Dentists now avail them
selves of this important fact
As the teeth consist largely of lime
they are readily acted on by acids.
Ibis means, of course, that acids gen
Grated in the mouth or the stomach by
fermenting food secretions rendered
acid by disease, or acid medicines ad-
miuistered Improperly by physicians,
may cause more or less destruction Of
the teeth.
The most common cause Of decay,
doubtless, Is to be found IN the bits of
fermenting food left between the teeth.
This fact suggests the need of the
toothpick after meals. and the thor
ough washing out of the mouth with
the aid Of a toothbrush before retiring
for the night
Dertistry has made wonderful prog
ress within the last fifty years. No
tooth which has even a stump left
needs to be sacrificed. Amalgam filings
are now much used in preference to
gold, as they are equally safe, easier
of introduction and cheaper
No one need fear harm from filings
inserted by any first-class dentist, or
from any tooth-powder or wash recon-
mendcd by him There are quack
dentists as well as quack doctors. Let
both be avoided. Youth's Companion

POTATOES eoR BREAKFAST.
several Excellent Ways of Preparing the
Indispensable Tuber&


For those who are unable 20 eat a
breakfast without potatoes in some
form, several ways OF preparing them
are given. For scalloped potatoes,
slice those that are cold boiled. and
put in baking dish a layer of pota-
toes, and season with salt and pepper,
bits of butter, and dredge with floor;
add another layer of potatoes, and
season them, continuing until the dish
is nearly filed Over the top of the
dish scatter powdered cracker or
bread crumbs and small pieces of but
ter, and moisten with a cup of good
milk or cream and bake ten minutes.
Raw potatoes may be scalloped IN the
same way, but they require half an
hour for baking Mashed potatoes
are scalloped by heating mashed
potatoes that has been seasoned with
butter, milk and salt, and beating it
till light, when a beaten egg may be
added. Then put into a dish alternate
layers OF tho potato and slices of cold
boiled eggs, seasoning the layers of
eggs with salt and pepper. Cover the
top with cracker crumbs and bits of
butter. moisten with a little milk. and
bake fifteen minutes. Mashed pota-
toes baked in scallop shells and glazed
with grated cheese and melted but:er
are also good

NEPHEwS IN FIJI.

The .Prerosatives Enjoyed by Them, In
Accordance with Old Traditions.
Most prominent among the public
notorieties of Fiji is the Yasu The
word means a nephew or niece, but
becomes a title of Office in the case of
the male, who, in some localities, has
the extraordinary privilege of APP
propriating whatever he chooses be-
longing to his uncle, or those under
his uncle's power. Vasus are of three
kinds-the TaSlt taaSkei, the Vdsu leu
and the YaSU; the last is common
name, belonging TO any nephew what
ever VaslE tuu6ci is a term applied to
any Vasu whose mother is a lady of
the land in which he is born. The
fact of Mbau being at the head OF
Fijian rank gives the Queen of Mbau
a pre-eminence over all Fiiian ladies,
and her son a place nominaIly above
all Vasus. No material difference ex-
lists between the power of Vas1
tGUbot and that of TaSu leu, which
latter title is given to every Vasu born
of a woman of rank, and having a
first-class chief for his father. VaSu
tau5ci can claim any thing belonging
TO native Of his mothers land ex-
cepting the wives, home and land of a
chief. However high a chief
may rank, however powerful a king
may be, if he has nephew he has a
master. one who viii not be content
with the name, but who will exercise
his prerogative to the full, seizing
whatever may take his fancy, regard
less OF its value or Of the owners in
convenience in its loss. Resistance is
not thought OF, AMI objection only Of
fered in extreme cases. Thokonauto,
a Rewa chief, during a quarrel with
an uncle, used the right of Vasu, and
actually supplied himself with am
munition from his enemy's stores. -

 It was nearly eleven o'clock when Paul line Corsi left the lawyers office, but the streets were lighted brilliantly by the full moon which sailed high in the heavens.

 About half-way toward her destination she met two men walking side by side, smoking cigars.
 Suddenly she stopped, and, clasping her hand upon her heart, looked eagerly at the younger of these two men.

 At this moment they drew near a tav. ern, the door of which was brilliantly lighted.

NINE YOUNG WOMEN.
What They Have Done or Are Doing Or
 of the Ordinary,

--~~J = - of the Ordinary. Matilda Moore, of Greenfield Springs, Col, has killed three mountain lions. .an ride as we'll as any cowboy and is an accomplished pianist, says the Philadel- phia Inquirer. Her father took her West four years ago from Boston to save her life. She is now healthy and happy. Tillie -McCready, of Mississippi, deter mined nine years ago never to marry a ! man who either smokes, drinks, swears. chews or uses slang. She is not married yet and thinks of making a compromise Ii she gets chance.
 Ethel Sanderson, of Boston, is the daughter of a wealthy commission man. She is highly educated and has travelled in Europe and is an accomplished lin guist and musician. She can cook an eight-course dinner without aid and can keep house better than her maiden aunt, who has done nothing else for forty years.
 Marie Bullock, of London, was en- gagged to young man. He came to see her one night under the influence of liquor. A row followed. He promised to reform after marriage. She insisted that he reform before. He objected. She dismissed him and is now the wife of prosperous attorney.
 Jane Detheridge, of Kingston, Jamai- ca, has refused thirty-seven offers of marriage. Jane has S1, GOO, 900 and is an orphan. She does not think she can afford a husband who cares only for her money.
 Martha Tullidge, of Dakota, is nine teen years old. This year she plowed, sowed and reaped forty acres of land, and has sold 600 bushels of wheat All this was done without male assistance.
 Katharine Macey has 175 pairs. of woolen socks which she knitted with her own hands in the last ten years When she has 200 she will sell them for the benefit of an orphan asylum.
 Agnes Deveraaux was married Christ mas Day. She fell into the Mississippi river and was rescued by young man with blonde mustache, who took the liberty of doing so although he had not the pleasure of her acquaintance He has $10 900 and she hasn't 10 cents of her own.
 Carlotta Banks, of Sacramento, saved her three young brothers from death while the paternal mansion was on fire 1t is feared she will lose her eyesight.

TQes for & Watch-Charm.

Joe Casper, member of the Cincinnati City Council, has the oldest watch-charm in existence. Several years ago two of his toes were amputated, and he pre- served them in alcohol. Afterwards the bottle was broken, and then Councilman Casper threw them in box in the gar ret, where they remained until recently Meanwhile they had petrifed and turned black as coal, as we'll as becoming hard as rock. Though shrunken in size, they continued perfect in form, and so he had them gold-mounted and now wears them pendent from his watch-chain. He claims they have brought him good luck since being worn in this fashion, and that he is not now compelled to carry a rabbits foot in his loft vest pocket.
