USING THE TEETH.
Neglect of Mast jcation Makes tt
Tender and Softens the Enamel.

Neglect of Mastication Makes Them
Tender and softens the Enamel.
The law of deterioration from disuse
obtains with the teeth, as well as with
other things. The constant and regular
use of them in masticating hard food
tends to make them continually grow
harder and stronger and better able to
resist The influences that make for de-
cay, while on the other hand, living on
soft food and neglect of mastication
makes them tender, softens the enamel,
and renders them easily susceptible to
corroding effects. This is sometimes
especially shown in the case of people
after long Illness who find their teeth
tender and sore when they begin to re-
turn to diet of solid, hard food. A
dentist, speaking on the subject, says:
''Some men have healthy teeth all their
lives because they were given hard
food during infancy. That is the period
to begin to save the teeth. Mothers and
nurses give children soft food, utterly
ignorant in many cases of the result
Crusts and hard stuffs should be given
to them as soon as they can eat them.
In this way the teeth begin TO grow
healthy, and gradually harden with
time and use. The chewing gum girl
gives her molars plenty of wholesome
and unwholesome exercise. But chew
ing gum is not especially healthy, be-
cause only part of the teeth are used.
1t is jaw exercise more than any thing
else. But in eating hard, wholesome
food all the teeth come in contact with
the substance. Tobacco-chewing is not
healthy for the teeth, because the tobac-
CO is generally placed in one location,
like chewing-gum, and there remains
until thrown out The Southern ne
groes have better teeth than most any
race, because they use them from child
hood up in masticating hard food. y

The power of gold is phenomenal.
The discovery of gold in California gave

coast Such discovery in Australia

discovery of gold which prevented an

of the sugar cane industry left the me-
groes without work. The East Indian
coolies had all the places on the sugar
estates. The negroes were on the point
of Hsing against the Government, when
"a few exploring gold seekers found
gold along the sides of one of the upper

great public danger was averted, and

THE lNNER LIFE.


We know there is o life within thu lie
, OF each who, tcilng, iceads the conquered
way,
Ever fercnr strife bchind .le st'ife
That each is sool 60 wage iron dny 20 day.
We find ourselves contOnCing with o world
In which ambition rules and pride holds
sway;
We drink and soon, like others, are possessed
With zeal to grasp the baubles as we may.
So we are judged TO be alike as base
AS be who sells for pottage all he hath
Who yields not only love and Joy and truth,
But Yields for this his souls immortal worth.
Be thou serene before this heartless Judge,
Brave heart that hath with unseen valor
fought;
Strive not to hold against the world grudge,
And sell the sunshine of thy life for naught.
The world can never know thee as thou art,
Much less with truth can judge thee as II
ought
But II thou hast with courage done thy part,
For thee there's nothing further to be sought.
,Tis well for us to toll and strive to win
All that our health and our comfort require;
But let the angel still withinus reign,
That he may aid the world to something
higher
Then let the inner life be full and free
Let mind rule with the sceptcr OF its might;
Let heart and soul with aspiration turn
Toward all that's great in nature, grand in
thought,
Then be tho world in judgment true or false,
The heart secure in consciousness OF worth
Can find within its battlements OF truth
The greatest pleasure possible TO earth
