RECEDiNG GUMS.
People Losing Their Teeth from q Cause
but Little Understood.

but Little Understood.
People are losing their teeth from
new cause nowadays" said dental
surgeon recently. 1T is complaint
which seems to have become common
only within the last fifteen years or so
Recession of the gums it is called.
Tartar is deposited at an abnormal
rate, and this carbonate of lime
secreted from the saliva pushes the
gums back from the teeth. After
awhile, if nothing is done to prevent
it, the trouble gets as far as the SOCK
cts. which become inflamed. Finally
the teeth fall out.
"a well-known statesman came to
me fourteen years ago with bad case
of the disease. Every tooth in his head
was loose, and one of them was so far
gone that l took it between my thumb
and finger and quietly lifted it out.
Within three months | had fixed him
up SO that all the rest of his dental
equipment was perfectly solid in his
jaws. 1t was accomplished simply by
removing the destructive tartar and
preventing it from accumulating again;
also with the aid of little medicine
applied to the gums. The distin-
guished patient Of whom speak comes
TO me every two or three months and
undergoes little treatment. In that
way have been able to keep his teeth
for him thus far.
st is very peculiar disease. In
case so far advanced as the one / have
described it can hardly be cured. That
is to say, the tendency to an accumula
ton of tartar can not be stopped. All
that can be done is to prevent it from
accumulating by scraping it away at
intervals and by medical applica-
tions to the gums. IN an early
stage, however, the complaint is
perfectly durable and the tendency
in most eases can be overcome.
But much care and continued attention
are required. Otherwise the person
will have lost some of his teeth by the
time he is forty years old, and after
that the rest of them will go rapidly.
The making of false teeth has arrived
at great perfection, but at best they
are poor substitutes.
''As have said, this may be regard
ed as new disease. At all events it is
only in recent years that it has become
prevalent. 1t is important that peo-
Piles attention should be called to it.
From seven years to twenty care must
be taken of the teeth lest they decay.
But from that on one should look out
for tartar. A mouth affected in the
way speak of is almost worse than a
badly-decayed mouth. The trouble
means certain loss of the teeth unless
looked out for and treated. .'-Washing-

STRANGE SUPERSTlTiONS.

Districts in Which Witches Are Still Re-
garded with the Utmost Respect.
Superstition is by no means defunct
anomaly in the customs and character
istics of some of our smaller towns or
villages. First and foremost of west
country superstition comes an entire
and thorough belief in witchcraft.
Every west country village has an old
woman who is good deal more feared
than the the village policeman.
No one dares to contradict her will
in anything. If she takes a fancy to
the finest cabbage in a mans garden
she may cut it as if it grew in her own.
Though it should be the very pride of
his heart he must not try to stop her
proceedings; if he does a far worse
thing IS sure to befall HIM. His pig
will be seized with sudden and deadly
sickness, or his daughters hair will
fall off, or shower of rain will spoil
his hay just when it is about to be car
ried. The west country term for
witch'S power is Overlooking"
If witch has evil feelings toward
you she is said ''to overlook you" One
indubitable sign by which you may
know 4 witch is to bring her into the
church and try to make her stand with
her face toward the east. No real
witch can do it for moment; however
much she may strive she Will stand rs
firmly fixed as a frozen weathercoc1
No west country farmer living near a
witch will doubt the cause when his
horses or cattle fall i'll.
Next to their belief in witches is their
faith in the power of seventh son or
seventh daughter to cure diseases. II
is in vain that the clergyman breaches,
that the schoolmaster teaches. that tn
parish doctor demonstrates, the west
country matron bears off her sckly
baby in triumph to the man or woman
in the neig boring village who happens
TO have been born a seventh son or sew.
enth daughter.
These privileged individuals have but
- to touch the diseased part and the cure
is certain and immediate. There are
also some wise women who can cure
various complaints with charm which
they speak over the patient. In the
neighborhood of Exmoor these things
are far more trusted in than all the
medical faculty put together.-Man.

Havana Tobacco.

IN the Abajo valley is small, low
piece Of country, about five miles from
Havana, capableof producing tobacco
enough to make thirty thousand cigars
annually. Without question, the to-
bacco is the finest grown. The result
is the kings and noblemen of England,
Russia, Germany, France and other Eu-
ropean countries gobble them up.
Every single cigar made of Vuelta
Abajo tobacco is sold to them at prices
ranging from twenty to one hundred
and fifty dollars a hundred. These
cigars are bought and paid for long
before the crop is ever harvested.
Manufacturers, however, with that re-
markable GOODNESS with which some
men are endowed, proceed to call all
qualities and kinds of Cuban cigars

of them never saw a cigar of that

were salmagundi sketches, or studies
in black and white. Most common of
all were those gowns whose distin-
gushing feature is the employment of
parallel rows of narrow white braid
about the shoulder cape. Far better
worth while is it to combine black with
white in some more striking fashion
than this. The day is at hand when
these barber pole arrangements will be
as common looking as they now are
smart and poor womanlIind Will don
them with bitterness of heart.
There was a wrap and gown of gray,

There was little girl who reminded
me OF apple blossom time because her
gown and cloak were of the glossy rich
green of the upper side Of the apple
leaf. and because there was touch of
the blossoms pink in her cheeks as
well as in the little dash of color at
her throat. And when | remarked
upon her beauty her plainspoken
mammals only comment was: "She
never eats cake and doesn't know what
pie is" which is worth pondering by
apple blossom girls. big and little.

whose hair was a mass OF brown, and
whose plump cheeks were red. and
whose hat was red and brown and her
gown the same-a dark red and
brown, not very red, so that the con-
trast was not striking, and at little
distance she looked almost like mon
ochrome in reddish crayon, which is
just the same as saying that she
looked like picture. don't you see?
There was bodice of purple velvet
and dark fur. beneath which skirt OF
dark green fell void OF other trim

The Kaleidoscope Of fashion is SIM
lie well worn because it fits. The glass
is ever turned and turned, and colors
and designs ever shift and change,
CLEAN and grow dull, sparkle and dark
en- before the observers eye.
There are styles and sub-styles, little
would-be styles; the latter. which ''die
a-bornin'," because of their popularity,
or because of their lack of it; it makes
little difference. You have seen foot

fringe of players with the ball hugged
under his arm and tears away down
the field only to be promptly pounced
upon by half dozen shock-headed
young rufiians and ground in the mud.

stylette, which is popular. Mrs. This

bers, and it can no further fare. The
number of women who have the mind
and the means to join in this mad
scramble to ride as close to the hounds
as possible is one Of the standing sur
prises of the metropolis. Ten years l
have watched the struggle and it seems
as strange to me now as ever. ! have
noticed, too, that if an original cos
tune happens not to hit the taste of
the pack it may remain original, and
not become even stylette, which is
fortunate for the introducer, and no
one of all the following pack can ever
tell, at the first, the false scent from
the true. This is why the chase is SO
hopeless. 1t is why the wise woman
who wishes to be well dressed without
entire absorption in the task never
tries to push any fashion to its ex-
treme, but studies moderation and
wears in blessed Indifference whatever
pleases her, so that it be within the
