TIGHTS AND STOCKINGS.
The Newest Wrinkles in Fastenngs ant
Garters-How n Girl Shops.

Every one knows that garters have
gone out, and girdles have come in; but
did any stop to trace the analogy be.
tween the decadence of the one and the
popularity of the other? 1t is the wear
ing OF tights, of course, that brings the
garter into desuetude; that is, that re-
duces the number of garters worn by
one-half. If you see swagger girl
with gold ribbon one inch in width
clasped around her waist, you may
wager your bank account that she has
It's mate clasped around her leg just
below the knee. What for? Oh, just
for the quaint conoeit of the thing
1t is amusing to watch the pretty
girls shopping for tights. With the per-
versity of things mundane, the hose
counters are presided over by men,
and it is very embarrassing to have
them think you are a skirt dancer or
ballet favorite. And so the pretty
girl gets the tights on an order from the
country, or for friend, or her mother
or grandmother even. Then she hustles
home and puts Shem on her own
slender extremities, throws away her
garters and harness of elastic straps,
and in half an hour realizes that she
has never really lived before. The
lines of anxiety smooth out of her fair
brow, the shadows of care soften from
her eyes She knows her stockings
won't come down, and battle, murder,
and sudden death los their terrors for
her.
One of the most remarkable things
about a woman is the way she man.

an, she may, in the stress of her woe,
let her harpiLs fall out, she may forget
to eat or sleep, but she never relaxcs
the vigilance over her stockings. The
amount of nerve force consumed in a

of the garter is ended it is little wonder
that our girls are growing taller and
that our women are stepping up bravely
into the worlds high places and win

NATURES MEDICINES.
The Advantages of Exercise and Tenn
perance.

Ine Advantages OF EXERCISE ana Tenn
perance.
The human stomach is surely mar
velous contrivance, or II could never as
simulate the incongruous mess that is
put into it at a luxurious, modern din
ner Soup, fish, flesh oil, vinegar,
wines, pastry, ices, confectionery, fruits
and numberless minor ingredients of
conflicting chemical qualities are
among the materials thrown in"
Truly, man is "fearfully and wonder
fully made" No other creature could
exist on such diet 1t would kill GO
rilla in month 1t does kill, though
more slowly, thousands of that high
and mighty variety of the human race
commonly called gentlemen. Univer-
sal temperance in eating and drinking
would quadruple the general health
end add years to the average life of the
race.
Exercise is as essential to health
as temperance, In fact, intem
perate eaters and drinkers sometimes
stave off disease for many years by
using their muscles manfully. AS a
rule, however, your gormaudizers and
guzzlers are indolent There is a story
in the Arabian Nights" of a physician
who cured sultan of plethora by intro
ducing certain medcaments into a
mallet, with which the patient ham
mered every day until he fell into pro-
fuse perspiration, when the virtues of
the panacea in the mallet passed
through the fibcrs Of the wood into his
pores This is merely an ollcgorical
way of enforcing the great lesson that
bodily exercise is beneficial to health
that exercise is excellent physic, Every
body who knows anything about the
mechanism of the human frame sees,
of course, that it was made to work,
and we may add that if 1t does not full
fill the conditions of its structure 1t is
sure to corrode aud drop to pieces pre-.

Exercise and temperance are nature
medicines and they have this great ad
vantage over all others, that while they
promote health and long life they Sc
cure for all who put trust in them the

THE TOOTH BRUSH.
A Plea for Proper Cleaning Of the Mouth
After Meals.

After Meals.
1t is only within the last five years
that the study Of the bacteria micro-or-
ganisms of the human mouth has been
zealously pursued by the various in
vestigators, and much has been accom-
plishcd toward bringing to light the
causes of various affections of the
mouth and its associate parts. Prof
Muller, of Berlin, has repeatedly said
that the human mouth was the abode
of numerous microscopic organisms
But it is only recently that the more
exact methods of archaeological in
vestigations have come into use and the
definite knowledge acquired as TO their
form and manner of life,
There is no part of the human body
waiting bacteria than the mouth and
teeth. Up to the present time re-
searches have made known to us
nineteen different pathogcnic micro
organisms which inhabit the mouth
Many of these organisms are non-path-
ogenic-that means that they do not
produce any definite disease-but many
did in the development OF certain dis
eases of which up the present time
nothing is known.
These organisms of the non-patho-
genie kind live and propagate upon the
various organic substances in the sccre.
tions of the mouth and upon the parti.
cles of food which have been allowed tc
remain between the teeth after meals.
These last organisms act deleteriously
on the teeth only. They have also the
chemical power of changing the secre-
tion of the mouth into certain acids
and ferments. Only shortly the ex'
perimentations have shown that decay
is brought about by acids formed
through the agency of the organisms
present Chiefly it is Tactic acid.-St
Louis Republic.
