THE CTTY's UNEMPLoYEn
Estimated by the Sanitary Police at More
Than 10000


According to the computations OF the experts
in the Health Board about 10000 persons are
out OF employment In New York. Ever since
IL became apparent that distress existed
among the poor to an unusual degree the
sanitary inspectors have been making inyes-
tIgation as to Its extent Acting under orders
from Major Bullard the sanitary police visited
$50 tsnements. scattered throughout the
thirty-four sanitary districts OF the city. with
the view OF getting list OF the unemployed
over the age OF II. The result Is as follows:
Unemployed male adults, .42S; female
adults. 4Si; male children, 81; female chill
dren, 20.
There are altogether 20 900 tenements In
New York. and upon calculating that the av-
erage Of unemployed was the same in all as in
those visited. the number OF unemployed In
the city must be 6O.OOO. The great Majority
of these are heads of families. FULLY one
fourth are laoorers-men without any regular
trade or calling.
tits admitted that this number does not
nearly indicate the number OF Unemployed
that will be found after the holidays The dry
goods stores alone are now giving work 10
thousands who will be discharged during
Chrlstmaa week.

outside of domestic service America had
in 1890 2, 700, 900 bread-winning women

CARE or THE TEETH.
Helpful Hints Furnished by an Eminent
Dental Surgeon.

Dental surgeon.
One of the most skillful dental sur
gecns in New York gives these rules
for the care of the teeth: 'Use sof.
brush and water the temperature of
the mouth. Brush the teeth up and
down in the morning, before going to
bed and after eating, whether it is
three or six times a day. Use a good
tooth powder twice week, not
oftener, except in case of sickness,
when acids from disordered stomach
are apt to have an unwholsome effect
upon the dentine. Avoid all tooth
pastes and dentifrices that foam in the
m outh; the lather is a sure sign OF
soap, and soap injuries the gums, with.
out in any way cleansing the teeth.
The very best powder is of precipitated
chalk; it is absolutely harmless and
will clean the enamel without affect
ing the gums. Orris root or a little
wintergreeD added gives a pleasant
flavor, but in no way improves the
chalk. A. least a quart of tepid water
should be used in rinsing the mouth.
A teaspoonful of listerine in half
glass of water, used as a gargle after
meals, is excellent; it is good for sore
or loose gums; it sweetens the mouth
and is valuable antiseptic. Coarse.
hard brushes and soapy dentifrice,
cause the gums to recede, leaving the
dentine exposed. Use quill pick, ii
necessary, after eating, but piece OF
waxed floss is better"
