yybv Tooth Arc Ncylected.

Not one person in 500 cleans his teeth
properly. Brushing crossways does not
remove the particles of food which lodge
between the teeth; the motion to be
effectual should be up and down, and
two strokes are better than hundred
the other way. A dentist of large prac-
tice gives the palm for well kept dentine
to men. ''Women use brushes more,
but men use picks" If the habit Of
thorough mastication of the foods was
formed no dentifrices would be needed.
1t is use that keeps the teeth clean. The
front teeth are used more than any Of
the others; they are always the cleanest
in the set. Hence the philosophy of
eating on both sides of the mouth so as
to keep all the molars in service.
Bad teeth are the result of q disordered
stomach, the gases and acids of malnu-
triton and indigestion fastening decay.
Dental surgeons and conscientious ply
sicians always advocate special attention
to the teeth after fit of illness OF dur
ing the case if the patient is equal to it.
CASTLE soap is as good as any dentifrice
and much better than cheap powder.
People who have proper regard for
their teeth will never allow particle of
medicine to touch them; chemicals and
druggists compounds should be taken
from a medicine spoon; mineral waters,
lemonade, phosphates and sour drinks,
if not taken through straw should be
slipped in small quantities.-New York

Ancestors Of the Horse.

Some interesting facts about the geo.
logical ancestors of the horse have been
made known by Professor Marsh. Vari-
in America in those remote times known
to the geologists as the eocene, miocene
and pliocene epochs, and which may
have occurred millions of years ago,
have been unearthed, and science has
not shrunk from the task of reconstruct
ing these animals from their fragment
ary remains.
The curiously interesting statement is
made by Professor Marsh that "the old
est ancestor of the horse-as yet undis-
covered-undoubted had five toes on
each foot and probably was not larger
than rabbit, perhaps much smaller. u
He even ventures to predict in which of
the geological strata this animal will
probably be found and suggests that it
be named "Hippops."
In modern times horse is occasion
ally seen which possesses extra toes,
thus showing the existence of a slight
tendency, under certain conditions. to
revert to the peculiarities of its remote
ancestors.
This tendency is one of the proofs
which science has to offer that the noble
and beautiful animal, whose services
add so much to the powers and the en-
joyments of man, has really been devel.
oped from those queer beasts Of ancient
times to which the geGlagists have given
such names as eohippus. orohippus, pro-
tohippus, miohippus and pliohippus.-

when, contrary to the general rule laid
down by nature, the female goes off to
some favorable watering place, while
the old man attends strictly to house

care fans with his tail all the sediment
off the eggs and drives off all intruders,
even to 10-pound mud turtle. He
brings forth his little family of several
thousand individual fishes about as
large each as the end of broom splint
and about a quarter of an inch long, to
become as long as a broom handle and

The Migrations of the Lemming.

In Norway and Sweden a curious mi
grafton takes place, the irregular migra-
ton of the lemming. There is no tell
ing where this strange animal will be-
gin its march southwark through Nor
way and Sweden in search of food. The
interval between one migration and the
next is seldom less than seven years or,
as in one instance, more than seventeen
years.
The lemming is species of rodent
and resembles in some ways our com
mon water rat. Once started, these
strange creatures press ON in a straight
line. There is no checking their march.
If wall or house is in their way they
will try to climb it rather than go around
it, and if they come to a stack of corn
they will cat it and then go forward.
The jennings are good swimmers, and
so they do not mind rivers and ponds,
although they cannot keep afoat in
rough water.
The migration comes to a fatal finish.
Taking direct course toward the south
west and southeast, the animals arrive
after awhile at the seashore. Still they
must press ON, and the lemming migra-
ton ends for another seven years.. l..

The most precious of all stones, accord
ing to DR.. de Lignieres, is the jade, on ac-
count of its rarity, its extraordinary quail
ties and the mystery of it's cutting. 1t was
regarded as sacred stone, and nobody had
a right to possess it except a prince of i'm
perial blood. Argerius Clutius, famous
physician in Amsterdam at the time of the
Renaissance, published work on the jade,
or nephritic stone, as it was then called, on
account ofits action on the renal system
AT the same period italian authors spoke
OF the Jade as osiada, and discussed its
wonderful powers for healing sciatica
The legends surrounding this stone
abound in'history. Good specimens of jade
are extremely rare, and the world is at a
loss to know how the Chinese managed to
cut it, because it is so extremely hard that
nothing can make an impression upon it.
Splendid specimens of gray and green jade
can be seen in the museum of the Troca-
dero.-Paris Figaro.

AN ATTIC POET.

He lived IN what we call the golden time,
Whom Athens, violet crowned, was In her
prime;
When her slim warships split the sky hued
seas,
And wallowing in their wakes huge argosies
Brought in the grain and stuffs of all the East
To where the marbled city made her feast.
The echoes of bronze Marathon yet rang,
And to their tune great hearted lives still sang.
Around him men were born and lived and
throve
Whose words and gestures Sophoklcs enwove
For the live flesh wherein his hand arrayed
The gcds and heroes whom his soul had made.
He brushed against veiled women on the
streets
Whose secret speech of smothered grief yet
greets
The worlds great souls whenever any lend
A hearkcning ear to him who was - friend
OF those same smielcss widows OVERSEAS,
Great hearted, mirthless, cowcd Eurpides.
He ate and drank and slept through the same
days
That saw his city's one still cleaning blazc
And he wrote ditties of his own dry heart,
OF its small pettiness and bloodless smart.
: With Aristophanes he laughed at all
The great, but in his laughter thought them
small.
The days were gone, he said, when heroes reft
Undying fame from fate; not much was left
For latter generations to achieve.
What bygone peoples had seen fit to leave
Undone might still be done; but was 1t worth
The effort? Was there true reward on earth?
All the great poets long were dead and gone;
1t was broad day now, and the fresh, cool dawn
OF human feeling had been left behind
Long since; paler laurel leaf entwined
Still on some favored brows, but thin and sere.
Poetry had all been written, and its year
Turned after harvest to its wintry chime.
And thus he wrote and talked. In after time
We do not speak of him to praise or blame.
He is forgotten, even to his name.

FROM MIKE TO Mr.. MICHAEL.


AN Irishman Wko Got a Million Dollars
and Knew What to Do with 1t.
The story of Monte Cristo is general.
ly regarded as highly improbable piece
of felton," said Montana man yester
day, '.but l have in mind case of a
miner in our state who comes very near
furnishing parallel character. About
ten years ago | had in my employ an
Irishman, clever but totally unedu-
Gated fellow, who did odd jobs about my
place in Helena. You remember what
feverish state that country was in
about that time over the rich finds in
gold in the country adjacent. My Irish
man caught the fever, and one day as
tonished me by asking me to loan him
5000, with which NE wanted to buy q
prospector's outfit Well, the fellow
begged so hard and money was so easy
anyhow that l let him have it. He bought
him mule and some tools and lit out
for the mountains alone.
''In about month he came back te
Helena with that mule fairly stagger
ing under load of the richest of ore
He hired three men, bought three more
mules, went back to the hills and struck
town shortly afterward with four more
mules loaded as the first one had been.
A representative of an English syndi
cate happened to be in Helena about
this time on the lookout for mining in.
vcstments. He saw the Irishman's little
pack train, took sample of the ore, had
it assayed, went out and examined the
claim and then made the 1rishman q
proposition that mighty nearly scared
him to death. I was sitting in my
office at the time, when in burst Mike il
state of terrible excitement.
"'What do you think, sor, I'm offered
for me claim he gasped. 'One million
dollars and twinty -foive per cent. of the
net profits
"Of course l told him to sell, which
he did. proved good investment fol
all concerned, as the Englishmen have
taken millions of dollars out of the
mine.
'But now comes my point. Instead
of committing the usual follies that pool
men indulge in when they become sud
denly very rich, Mike set about to gel
the highest benefits of his wealth. There
lived in Helena an English lady, widow
of an English officer, who was possessed
of high degree of culture and refine
ment, though in very needy circum-
stances. Well, sir, the first thing Mike
did was to go to this lady and bargain
for an education. He placed himself
absolutely under her dictation; lived il
the same house, and she taught him how
to hold knife and fork and how to enter
and leave room. Then followed the
rudiments of a literary education and o
year or SO of travel.
II met my Irish laborer in the parloI
of London hotel about six months ago.
You never saw q more perfect gentle
man in your life. He has acquired a
classical education, is as easy and grace
full i'll manners as n courtier and above
all has the true instincts of a man and
gentleman in his heart. And could q
man be anything but q gentleman who
had evidently made it the dream of his
life to be one at his first opportunityY'-

An Ancient French Custom.

Anciently, in many parts of France,
when a sale of land took place, it was
the custom to have twelve adult wit
nesses accompanied by twelve little boys,
and when the price of the land was paid,
and its surrender took place, the ears of
the boys were pulled and they were
beaten severely, SO that the pain thus
inflicted should make an impression
upon their memory, and, if required af-
terward, they might bear witness to the
sale.-Yankee Blade.

Suffering and Stanmcrinc.

Suffering and stammcring are terms
that are confounded: They are not
synonymous by any means. Stammer-
ing is an inability to properly cnunciato
certain elementary speech words; slut
tering is a vicious utterancc, manifested
by frequent repetitions of initial or other
elementary sounds. Both are caused by
improperly acting muscles of uhc vocal
chords, soft palate, tongue, cheeks, lips,
etc.
Some of these muscles are under easy
control of the will. Over the muscles
of the pharynx, the soft palate and at
the base of the tongue, which move its
root upward and downward, our power
is not so complete, and this causes the
affiiction.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.
