ABOUT YOUR FALSE TEETH.
Durability of Artificial Molars and Othel
Gossip About Teeth.

How long do false teeth wearP" an
experienced dentist was asked the other
day by reporter OF the Boston Her.
aid.
You might as well say How long
does a suit of clothes wear?'" was the
reply ut all depends upon the quail
ity of the teeth and the care of the per-
son who uses them. If woman bites
thread with her artificial molars they
are likely to to be ruined in week.
On the other hand, 1 know persons
who have worn the same sets for twen-
ty years, and have never been COM
PEELED to have them repaired. Sets
made of the best material and in the
best manner should last lifetime with
proper care"
''What is the proper care of false
teeth?n
Both the plates and the crowns
should be removed from the mouth and
cleansed every night and morning."
do artificial teeth decay"
mo; they are all made of porcelain,
which is not subject to decay as the
natural bone is. But at the same time
porcelain is more brittle than bone,
and hence an artificial tooth will not
stand many hard knocks"
''What is the difference in the dura-
bility of high-priced and cheap teeth?"
THAT is a difficult question. Cheap
teeth are made of material that bears
the same relation to that of the best
teeth that a common stone china plate
does to a Sevres vase. Cheap teeth
look like glazed china, and that is
about all that some of them are. Now,
so long as the glaze lasts the teeth are
as strong as those made of the costliest
material, and l have known sets costing
next 20 nothing to perform service for
many years. They are not so brittle.
| in act, as those made of the finest por-
celain. But the chief superiority of
| the latter lies in their shape and ap-
pearance and in the exactitude with
which they are fitted to the gums"
''What is the best sort of plate?"
sOne made of gold. But black rub
Der is just about as durable. only it is
harder to keep perfectly Clean
Are complete sets of artificial teeth
not uncommon"
Partial sets are more frequently
seen but complete sets are by no
means unusual"
''Who wear the most false teeth
| men or women?"
Women, by long odds. 1 don't
think the result is due alone to vanity,
however although that may have
something to do with it. The chief
reason is that the natural teeth of wo-
men are. not as good and strong as
those of men, and, therefore. have to
be more frequently replaced by arti-
| fetal teeth -

retary of the Worlds W. C. T. U.l
Your picture lies before me here,
Full of expression, sweet and clear;
scan the features o'er and o'er,
(And have done the same before)
For well love a face to view,
That heart and soul are shining through.
AS faces different phases wear,
So lives different fruitage bear
In different fields we sow and reap,
Some burrows shallow. others deep;
And far apart our pathways lie
Sometimes. and then SO near that 1,
A way worn traveller, may rest,
And sit beside thee as guest;
With Wisdom's feast before me spread.
Where oft my hungry soul has fed.
From Learning's " smitten rock" there burst
A stream. where have slaked my thirst.
But ahI my song would ne'er be done,
Should 1 thus mention one by one
The tokens from thy hand received,
The burdens lightened, cares relieved;
So wisely done, without pretence,
Or faintest thought of recompense.
And l. unworthy most of all
On whom such rays of gladness fall,
Awoke my muse if haply we
Some simple gift might bring to thee;
But of the little possess,
What could [ choose that most would bless
The one who so unconsciously,
The "cup of water - brought to me?
Silver it cannot be. or gold,
For YOU have more than to hold:
But flowers are gifts all may bestow.
Nor fail in blessing where they go;
So from my garden scant and small.
1 bring two blossoms-that is all;
OF fragrance sweet and tints subdued,
And name them Love and Gratitude
When from the seed thy hand hath sewn.
The Master reaps the harvest grown,
And thou shalt hear His - Unto Me.''
How blest thine afserward will be!

Genuine Intellectual Life Must Always

In every community there are to b
found men and women who are steadily
moving ahead Of the rank and file Of
their neighbors and companions; eveT
year reveals a wider separation aud
stamps them with more aspiring per
sonality. Even the most unobserVant
begins TO feel that there is something
unusual about these marked men and
women; something which defines them
from the mass of commonplace about
them. There are men and women who
are born to rise by the possession Of
some spiritual quality, some aspiration
which by its own impulse lifts them out
Of their surroundings and sets them in
q new world of thought and feel
ing. 1t is not necessary that
one should be born amid the
surroundings of refinement and culture
In order to attain the very best results
which these things have to give. Its
an advantage to be thus born, and to
absorb in childhood, by the unconscious
process of early education, much that
must otherwise be learned; but this Is
an advantage which good many strong
natures have missed without apparently
suffering any real loss. The making OF
an intellectual life is always personal
matter. Intelligence, culture and the
resources that come from these attain
ments lie within the reach OF almoss
every one in this country who gets
clear vision of what he wants, and i
willing to work for it. There is some

Trade Pursued by Two Hundred ThoR-
sand American Citizens.
The countless minor offices of the
United States are filed. by distinct
class known as professional politi.
clans" These men live by politics, re-
ceiving place asreward for political work.
Their control of public office is monop-
olistic. Mr.. Bryce estimates their num-
Der at two hundred thousand, but this is
probably an underestimate. They con-
stitute guild, although they are not
organized under formal articles Of as
ISOLATION. With them office-getting Tor
keeping in office) Is an industry, and
the fees and emoluments are accepted
as payment for partisan services rather
than for the exercise of official func-
lions. The influence which the office
holders WELD is altogether out of pro-
portion to their numbers or to their In
tellectual attainments. But they pos
sess this advantage over all other
classes-they are unified and organized.
They make the management Of pri-
maries and conventions the serious
business of their lives, and acquire q
bhll1 "a pen iOO IL
which ordinary citizens cannot hope to
cope with. The politics of the country
is in the hands of these men. The peo-
pie elect, but can not nominate, being
reduced to choice of candidates Sc
lected by the politicians of opposing
parties. These politicians dictate nomi-
nations, high and low, and afterwards
foreclose a lien upon public place which
they claim to have earned. All others,
those who can not show certificate OF
this character, are excluded.-Oliver
