of the choicest wines placed on German

of travel brings the tourist within sight
Of the spires OF Frankfort, one of the
most tlourishing cities of the German
Empire. It's character is utterly differ
ent from that q Mainz. the large gar.
rison in the latter city gives tone TO the
place; it is military in character, while
Frankfort on the contrary. is CONNER
cial. 1t is a great market for American
goods and securities; its streets tecm
with traders from every part of
Europe; but, nevertheless, it has
not lost those features of antiquity
which make it interesting to travel
ers from a new word. In the
older part of the town the streets arc
narrow, the houses eOyerhanging; there
appear here and there specimens of
wood carving which would delight the
eye of collector and in the oldest pOr-
ton Of the Jewish quarter stands the
house which saw the childhood of the
first and greatest RothSchid. Aside
from the ancient features Of the town,

Tooth Powders anu Tooth washes.

Powders and washes for the teeth
should be used with great care. Re-
garding them, especially, the well
worn but pertinent caution to beware
of strolling vendors applies with the
deepest import. Every one has a de-
sire for white and beautiful teeth, and
the itinerant who boasts loudly of the
power of his preparations to "whiten
the blacklist teeth to look like ivory in
one minute!" catches the popular ear
and sympathy on the spot. There is
nothing remarkable in the fact that
what he claims can be demonstrated,
Any chemist or apothecary can concoct
q preparation which will do all this
and more If used but short time it
will destroy the enamel, and with it,
of course, the entire set of teeth; since
the phenomenal result is and can be
reached only by the destruction of a
small portion of the outer surface of
the enamel. The result is the same
whether the agent be wash or powder,
since the latter simply contains the
chemicals of the former in an undis-
solved form. All strong acids or aka
lies should be avoided in the mouth,
and if there is doubt as to the compo-
sition of any preparation in this re-
spect, let it be tested with bit of
litmus paper. This paper can be OBJ
tanned OF any drug store, and is in two
colOrs-blue and red. The blue If
dampened with an acid solution, will
turn red, and the rapidity and intensity
of the change will indicate the acidity

alkaIi by changing to blue, in the same
manner.
Tooth powders, as n rule, should be
soluble and slightly antacid. There is
class of insoluble powders which are
of the most dangerous nature, of which
powdered charcoal is a notable exam
pie. These consist of fine sharp par
ticles, which being pressed by the
brus Ii between the teeth and gums, or
lodging between the teeth, may cause
the most serious results, even to the
destruction of tie gums or the cement.
The use of the brush in connection
with powders, washes or other treat
ment of the teeth should be gentle.
Bleeding of the gums is always dan
ger signal. 1t shows that the skin has
been broken, inviting the absorption
into the system of any poisonous or
foreign matters which may be present
in the mouth. If the guns are very
tender a soft brush should be used and
used very gently, till they have hard
ened sufficiently to withstand more
vigorous treatment. Even then the
liability will be to err on the side of
Health and Home.

then became a fortress Of Germany, and

THE sILVER QUESTION.

The New York Commercial Bulletins
Washington special of the 25th ult. says.
The feeling seems to be growing that it
will be impossible to prevent the passage
of q free coinage bill through both
Houses of Congress next Winter. 1t is
generally believed, also, that such a bill
will be promptly returned 10 Congress
by the President with his veto message,
and that il would fail to pass over the
veto. ia Presidential election were not
pending that might be the end of the
matter. Both parties will be seeking
votes, and the Farmers Alliance may
have votes to give. The friends Of the
President would like very much to save
him from the necessity Of writing q veto
message, for such a message, they be-
lieve, would hurt him among the farmers
Of the Western States, and especially
among the silver miners Of the Pacific
Slope. To ave him from the embarrass.
ment a strong effort will be made in the
Republican Senate TO shelve the subject,
but from present indications it does not
seem likely TO succeed.

An English court decides in the case Of
Mrs. Maybrick that a wife who has MUIR
dered her husband is not entitled to the
insurance money on his life. A some
what similar case was recently decided
by the Court Of Appeals in New York.
A boy of sixteen, knowing that his grand.
father had made o will 10 his favor,
killed the old man to get possession Of
the property. He was convicted Of mur-
der in the second degree and sent to the
State R~eformatory. Nevertheless a claim
to the property under the will was pros
ecuted in his behalf. The lower courts
and two judges of the Court of Appeals
maintained that the boy was entitled to
ii. But the majority of the latter tribu-
nal decided otherwise. "To hold, I" said
Judge Earl, "that q legal title to prop
erty may be acquired by murder would
be a reproach to the Jurisprudence of our
State and an offence against public pol
10y" That is evidently the reasoning
which the judges adopted in the May
brick case.

TIE PRECIOUS METALS.

The Census Office at Washington has
Just issued a bulletin relating TO the
production Of gold and silver in the Uni.
ted States for the calendar year Of 1859,
The Bulletin shows that the production
Of bullion during the year 1889 was.
Gold, 1880, 500 ounces-United States
coming value, S32, $50, IA; silver, ST.
354,S5 ounces-United States coming
value s65, 1916, 9ss. In gold this is nearly
2s per cent OF the worlds product, and
in silver Al per cent. The bulletin says;
The number Of gold and silver mining
claims or locations" commonly called
I" mines" in the United States, is practi-
cslly beyond computation. The names
Of nearly 100, 600 such claims or mines
we're received by the census Office, but
upon limiting the investigation TO the
producing mines, mines working but not
producing, mines temporarily stopped
but which had produced, and upon tabu.
lating only such mines as made produc-
ton returns or labor statistics, the list
was reduced TO 6004.
The expenditures during the year, in
Guiding wages. value of supplies, etc.,
was s63, 45l, l36; the total value Of the
mining plants, s465, 900, 500, made up of
buildings, railroads, machinery, under
ground machinery, mine supplies and
cash, and the estimated value Of the
mines, exclusive of the above items, was
1888, 794, S2l. The value OF the mills
and reduction works was $50, 1862, 772.
The total value Of the mines and works
was $4S6, 500, 43s. OF the 6004 mines on
which returns Of production or labor
statistics we're made, 26s were reported
idle, 1000 reported working but not pro-
ducing bullion, 2S producing over $780,.
900 worth of bullion, A producing $780,.
900 to $500, 900, 10Y producing 500. 900
to $3.50. 900. 95 from $50, 900 to 500, 0OO,
437 from $40, 900 to $50. 600, laos from
81, 900 to SIC, 900, and 1910 less than ST..
900. From the statistics il appears that
the labor employed in the actual produc.
ton Of the precious metals is better paid
and more productive in fact than in any
other industry thus far reported in bull
letins issued by the eleventh census.
The average earnings Of all persons en-
at the gold and silver mines, ag.
gregsting 1888, was 1925 q year, while
the average output per nan amounted TO
sl723 per year.
Mote by the SENTINEL: There is one
manifest error in the above. The value
Of the mills and reduction works is put
down at a little over $40, 900, 900. That
is nonsense. The improvements of that
character are worth five times that
amount. The smelters at Salt Lake and
Denver alone are worth half the sum-, and
the Anaconda at Butte has a plant which
cost more than 50, OO0. 600. In other res.
poets the estimates of the census Office
seem to be approximately correct.l

PULPIT.

A San Francisco preacher has caused
something Of a sensation in the city by
charging that the pulpit Of his State is
muzzled. Those who have watched the
pulpit carefully for the past quarter OF a
century will conclude that the reverend
gentleman is rather late in making his
discovery.
The press Of California has worn .
muzzle on its mercenary nose for q long
time. and why should the pulpit raise
any the less objection to the muzzling ?
In the olden times the church was the
supreme power; a little more powerful
than the king. The Bishop dared to de-
Gun the royal family from the pulpit,
and the royal family took it's Cruel with
becoming meekness, but Of late years the
church has lost it's grip and the muzzle
feels pleasant on its nose. Times have
changed and it must accept the situation.
The church is kept up by the fashionable
and wealthy class of people. This class
don't want the hell's fire and damnation
doctrine thrown at them. In fact, they
they do not care much for any kind Of
preaching. The attraction OF the service
is the paid singing and the music, and
the sermon has TO be endured with the
balance of the service. The preacher who
knows where his bread and butter lies
will graciously put his nose in the muz-
zle and be careful what he says. His
congregation is made up mostly Of pious
who go to church to cloak their
past and present lives, and it is not nas-
ural that they want evil things denoun-
ced, as it brings up unpleasant recollec-
The preacher who imagines he is
TO reform his congregation makes a great
mistake. They don't hire him to be re-
and the sooner he reaches that
the better. Only q great ge-
MUS in the pulpit can afford to tell the
ruth; he must be sufficiently a genius to
nave an influence beyond the pale Of his
,wn church. He must be absolutely in
dependent of his congregation before he
IAN preach to them unmuzzled. The
who breaches the absolute
to his congregation would empty
his church in q month. He is their paid
'%ervant, and as his salary comes from
hem he should be wise enough to give
hem the sort of preaching they pay for.
