Care Of the Teeth


At the meeting in Berlin last
spring of the German Association
Of American dentists, the best
means Of preserving the teeth were
discussed by Drs. Richter and Bres-
lau, said: 1--WE know that the whole
method of correctly caring for the
teeth can be expressed in two words
brush, soap. In these two things
we have all that Is needful for the
preservation of the teeth. All the
preparations not containing soap
are not to be recommended, and If
they contain soap all other ingredi-
ents are useless except for the pur-
pose of making their taste agree
able. Among the soaps the white
CASTLE soap of the English market is
especially to be recommended. A
shower of tooth preparations have
been thrown on the market, but
very few of which are to be recon-
mended. Testing the composition
of them, we find that about 80 per.
cent are not only unsuitable for
their purpose, but that the greater
part are actually harmful. All the
preparations containing salicylic acid
are, as the investigations of Fernior
have shown, destructive of the teeth.
He who will increasingly preach to
his patients to brush their teeth
carefully before bedtime, as a cleans
ing material to use CASTLE soap. as
mouth wash, a solution of oil of
peppermint in water, and to cleanse
the spaces between the teeth by
careful use of silken thread, will
help them in preserving their teeth.
and will win the gratitude and
good words of the public"

A Tender Comparison.

A cook at a cheap boarding house in New
York played a little game on grumbling
boarder, newspaper humorist, by serving
him with a piece of sole leather instead OF
beefsteak. you've changed your butch

ing up at the landlady, after saving two or
three minutes on the leather. "Same butch
or as usual" replied the boarding mistress,
with patronizing smile. "Whyl" 20, moth
ing much" said the humorist, trying TO
make an. impression ON the steak with his
knife and fork; ''only this piece Of meat is
the tenderest Ihave struck in thus house for

The LoveSof Daphnes and Chloe Described

by an Expert.
Every lad in the country, no matter how
lowly his occupation may be or how small
the wages he may earn, makes it point to
own set of harness and buggy, says the
New York World. This, any way and, if
possible, a horse. If he can't get the horse,
however, 1t doesn't make so much difference,
for ne can generally manage to borrow an
animal of some sort, either from his en-
ployer or some neighboring farmer. These
things are absolutely essential to the kind
of courting he does, and the only one who
doesn't enjoy it is the horse.
When Saturday afternoon comes around
the boys may be found hard at work with
bottle of harness polish, making the horses
apparel shine for the regular Sunday turn
out. And then a bucket of water and
sponge are brought into play, and the buggy
is made to look as bright and clean as new
Sunday afternoon every thing is in readi-
ness, and decked out in his best suit of
clothes, which sometimes fits him but more
often doesn't, he ties a piece of bright rib
bon on his whip, climbs into the buggy and
drives off.
May be he has a friend from some other
point stopping with him, and in that case
the friend goes along. The latter is taken to
some house along the route where there is
a daughter in the family. She is asked
whether she expects any caller or not that
evening, and if the answer be in the mega
tive the friend is introduced and left in care
of the girl, who treats him just as if they
had been lifelong friends, and he in turn
does his share towards carrying out the pre-
sumption. He takes tea with the family
and then is escorted to the parlor, when he
and his new-found acquaintance are left
alone to entertain each other as best they
see fit.
In the meantime the buggy owner has
driven on to his destination. His best girl
welcomes him with open arms. A hug, a
kiss and how-do-ye-do comprise the salu-
tatory, and then he goes through the same
course as the friend whom he has left be-
hind. After tea he goes to the parlor and
he and the object of his admiration sit and
chat together the whole night long. This is
a fact, and they don't sit as city folks do,
either. They huddle together on lounge
or sofa and, clasped in each others arms,
sit and COO like pair of turtle doves No
one is there to disturb or embarrass thom.
The old folks have gone to bed and the
youngsters are alone in their glory. For
time they talk about crops and the weather
and discuss the habits of some mutual ac-
quaintance, and when they have exhausted
all subjects on which they find it easy to
converse they don't go ahead and talk for
the sake Of saying something, as city folks
do, but they remain silent and sit for
hours hugging and kissing each other,
until the break Of day warns the youth
that it is time for him to retire. Then he
gives his girl parting kiss and hug, an
other for good luck, and takes his departure.

more, some alive and some dead,

Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness-Hay
Feyer-A New Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware
that these diseases are contagious, or
that they are due to the presence of
living parasites in the lining MEM
brane of the nose and eustachian
tubes. Mic roscopic research, how
ever, has proved this to be a fact,
and the result of this discovery is
that a simple remedy has been form
ulated whereby catarrh, catarrhal
deafness and hay fever are perma-
nently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home
by the patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not
snuff or an ointment; both have
been discarded by reputable physic-
ians as injurious. A pamphlet ex-
planning this new treatmentis is sent

If a woman starts dressing herself by look

selecting anything that happens to look
pretty, she will not have the chic appear

applies to house dressing. Start out with a

wish beauty as a main factor, determine
your general color harmony and select
everything to lead up to it. If it's living

Scheme of n Plucky Theatrical Troupe to
Defeat Washour.
Boston Globe.l
When Verona Jarbeau was PLAYING here
few weeks ago, she told me a number OF
interesting stories about her exciting expert
ences while travelling in the far West earlier
in the season. On one occasion the COM
pany was "held up" by a washout, 40 miles
from Yuma, Ari. They were billed to play
that night, and, as the water station where
they were detained, offered neither sleeping
nor feeding accommodations for the troupe,
Miss Jarbeau determined to get through to
Yuma at all hazards.
That no engine could be run on the loos-
ened rails or across the tottering bridge
over which the waters of a swollen river
flowed, was plainly evident, but it was
thought that handcsrs might get through.
Only three handcars were obtainable, and,
as each car could carry but two passengers,
how to transport the 18 members OF the COM
pany was problem not easily solved. But
the plucky actress was equal to the emer-
gency.
She had three long, strong planks placed
across each handcar, and on the ends of
these boards the Thespisns, most of who
were women, were instructed to make them
selves comfortable, seesaw fashion. 1t was
necessary that they should balance them
selves exactly. otherwise the heavier actors
would topple their lighter confreres over
into the ravine below the rails.
To ride 40 miles through the dark in such
fashion was risky undertaking, but all
were willing to take their chances. So off
they started, the cold wind whistling among
their dangling ankles and pouring rain
soaking through their clothing to the skin.
In two hours and half Yuma was safely
reached. where, it is needless to say a warm
welcome awaited them.

Spring, which in Siberia is of short dura-

country looked different one. The court
before which Vladimir had been placed had
unanimously sentenced him to death, be-
cause he had laid violent hands on the repre-
sentative of the Gar. The sentence against
the Captain had been proclaimed long since,
but the execution had been postponed at
Schelm's express desire. The Reyisor
wished to impress this double execution
with greater solemnity, and personally be
present His arrival alone delayed the tor
ture.
On smiling meadow, perhaps 500 yards
from Irkutsk two companies of infantry were
standing in two ranks. The soldiers had no
muskets and stood opposite each other, eye

dark green prevailing. His furniture he
bought regardless of the other surroundings,
and then being dissatisfied with the ensem-
