ment of teeth has always been regarded as
an indispensable condition OF perfect
health. To our prehistoric ancestors, who
had no other grain mills than their molars,
it must have been so, and the modern sol

tack and leathery salt beef rather unsatis-

which the examining surgeon so properly
insists upon.
But the constantly improving science OF

Experience has demonstrated that the lux.

The OVERRIDING of Christmas giving
has reached its height. The most beau
tiful festival of the year must return to
more of its former simplicity in the
very nature of things. The little girl
who counts her presents and boasts of
receiving thirty or forty will have to
give way to the little girl who plans to
see how many presents she can give to
the sick and the poor. The small
daughter of at least one well to do
family here in Boston is brought up to
get the best good of Christmas in this
way. Her mother even checks thought

do you expect for ChristmasT with the
words: "She is dressing paper dolls for

The magnitude Of the food supplies of
a nation is not very easily conceived.
We get an approximate idea in the i'm
ports Of Great Britain. In 1889 no less
than 50, OOO, 900 bushels OF wheat went
into British ports, and -four to the value
Of 81 600 900 has circulated in English
bread pans. 1t is calculated that the
shortage in wheat in the crop OF 1890
will not be less than 100 900, 900 bushels
Potatoes are placed at the same short
age. Fruits, vegetables and berries are
credited with a deficiency OF 100, 900, 900
bushels. Europe reports 233, OOO, 900
bushels lacking in the average potato
crops, and the wheat crops rs being 3d.
O0O, 900 bushels less than the annual con
sumption. Should these figures be but
approximately true, they indicate a gray
ity in the situation that the coming year
will very p%ertinently show.-Economist.

Sixty years ago a finder box was as In

for beginners and clumsy people to strike

The moment the spark communicated fire
to the finder 1t was touched by the sui

Then the finder burning was extinguished.

fire consisted in rapidly rubbing two pieces
