TWO STYLES OF TEAS.

Afternoon Teas in Town and Country.
What Should BE Served at Each.
There are two styles Of entertainment
under the general names of teas-high teas
and afternoon teas-abCut which a lady OF
society gives the following useful hints in
a little handbook on Manners"
The first is a meal taking the place Of
q dinner, at which hot meats cakes, warm
breads, preserves and other sweets are
served; such teas are more popular in the
country than in town.
In many households it is the custom
about o'clock 70 have a tray brought IN
20 the mistress Of the house and placed be
fore her on a small table. On this tray
should be tea service, cups, saucers, etc.
She herself then makes the tea, pours il
out and passes it 10 whatever visitors may
be with her at the moment. The servant
brings in thin slices Of bread and butter.
cake and perhaps English mullins, which
are usually served with the cup OF tea.
Afternoon teas resembling receptions are
also given, but these come under the head
Of more general entertainments.
The entertainment at a tea ought TO be
simple, and the visiting cards Of the hostess
are used for the invitations, on which
should be written on the lower left hand
corner and opposite the address the words,
Tea at o'clock" following the day and
late.

rarlr Attention TO the Teeth.

About the sixth year or soon after, four
permanent molar or double teeth make
their appearance, says a writer who calls
the attention Of parents to the Importance
of early attention TO children's teeth. II
is generally supposed that these four teeth
belong to the first set, and If they decay
and are removed they viii come again
This is a mistaken idea. They are perma.
nent teeth, and If lost will be lost forever
No teeth that come after the sixth year
are ever shed. At twelve years the second
set is usually complete, with the exception
Of the dens sapientiR or wisdom teeth,
which make their appearance from the
eighteenth 70 the twenty-fourth year
During the eruption of the second set, the
beauty and character Of the child's coun
tenance is completed, and everything de
ponds upon proper care and attention al
this time. TO see chat the teeth come with
regularity and without being crowded.
Another very important reason why the
teeth should early in life receive the ut
most care and professional attention, Is
the effect they exert upon the articulation.
The loss of single tooth affects the utter
ance and invariably produces a kissing OF
lisping sound in articulating certain WORDS
containing the dental novels, such as {, d,
5, q and j. All public speakers, especially
lawyers, clergymen and others, should, as
they value correct enunciation and ar
ticulation, remember that the teeth were
placed by nature to form a certain arch for
the express purpose of giving force and
purity of utterance The meditation o!
the voice also is, in a great measure, dc
pendent on the shape Of the mouth and
healthy condition Of the teeth and theiI
contiguous parts.

cARBoLlc ACID SOLUTIONS.
Their Destructive Action Upon the Skin
When Used a Long Time.

Their Destructive Action Upon the Skin
When Used Long Time.
Popular Science News notes a warning
by A. Frankenburger against the injury TO
the skin and even bone which may result
from the long continued application Of
weak O., % and even . per cent? carboiized
applications. especially upon peripheraI
portions Of the body such IS the fingers.
This effect is due i'm a small measure to the
action of carbolic acid upon the vase motor
system. but in the main to It's destructive
effect upon the red and white blood corpus
Giles. This induces partly in mechanical
and partly in a chemical way, stasis' iifst
in the capilleries and, if the action OF the
drug be continued, then in the larger VEINS
and arteries, with the result that the nutrl-
tion Of the part is interfered with and the
removal Of harmful substances hindered.
The maceration of the epidermis caused by
the acid favors evaporation, 50 that the
gangrene is q dry one, "a mummihcaton as
it were. The author believes that even
weak carbolic solutions as external apph-
cations are to be either completely discard
ed or TO be used only with the very strict
est precautions, and that the sale OF car
bolic water by druggists should be wholly
stopped.

COMMON EMERGENCIES.

Row to Check Hemorrhage from Small
Wounds and from the Nose.
a physician gives in Popular Science
News some suggestions as to what people
should do in the smaller surgical emergen-
ties constantly arising in the domestic cir
Gle, when a surgeon is not thought neces-
sary or cannot be quickly enough reached.
He says: When minute bleeding points
such rs sometimes occur upon the face after
the use OF the razor-are neither checked
spontaneously nor by the usual means. a
drop of tnctare OF iron, applied or, pledget
of cotton or the end of a match, will at once
put an end 10 the bleeding Sometimes
obstinate and cven alarming hemorrhage
follows the extraction OF tooth In such
a case bit Of cotton saturated with alum
solution or sprinkled with alum powder
and applied TO the cavity will usually work
admirably; but should these means fail TO
afford relief, a pledget Of cotton saturated
with tincture Of iron and pressed into the
cavity will promptly stanch the flow, un-
less the case be rare and exceptional one.

BIRTH OF 4 VOLCANO.

Volcanoes are openings or rents which
communicate with the melted rock within
theearth. and the conical form of volcanoes
IS owing TO the deposits Of volcanic matter
rs it falls from the opening called the
crater. The volcano builds its own hill,
and inside the crater we find cones from
which smoke and steam issue. These cones
within the cone are the points of issue OF
vapor and smoke, miniature volcanoes max
ing up a whole. The signs OF eruption are
much the same, and usually occur a couple
of DAYS before the actual outbreak. First
smoke appears, perhaps, and the escape OF
noxious gases accompanied by earth
quakes occur.
New volcanoes are continually in process
of formation and these violent efforts Of
nature frequently give rise toearthquakes,
which are the most destructive Of natural
commissions. The slow subsistence and
gradual upheaval of the land is still going
on, but we are frequently startled by tho
account Of a rupture Of the ground or the
destruction of portion Of city.
