RECEDING GUMS.

Cause Little Understood.

People Losing Their Teeth From ~
Cause Little Understood.
people are losing their teeth from a
new cause nowadays" said dental
surgeon. "It Is a complaint which
seems to have become common only
within the last fifteen years or so. Re
cession Of the gums it is called. Tar
tar is deposited at an abnormal rate,
and this carbonate Of lime secreted
from the saliva pushes the gums back
from the teeth. After a while, If moth
ing is done to prevent the trouble gets
as far as the sockets, which become in
famed. 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 took 1t between my thumb
and. finger and quietly lifted 1t out.
Within three months I had fixed him
up so that all the rest of his dental
equipment was perfectly solid in his
jaws. It was accomplished simply by
removing the destructive tartar and
preventing it from accommodating again;
also with the aid Of q little medicine
applied to the gums. The distinguished
patient Of whom l speak comes to me
every two or three months and under
goes a little treatment. In that way
have been able to keep his teeth for
him thus far.
1T is very peculiar disease. In a
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 cannot be stopped. All
that can be done is to prevent it from
accommodating by scraping it away at
intervals and by medicinal applications
to the gums. In an early stage, how
ever, the complaint is perfectly durable,
and the tendency in most cases can be
overcome. But much care and cOntin-
| lal 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 I have said, this may be re-
garded as a new disease. At all events,
| it is only in recent years that it has be-
come prevalent. 1t is important that
peoples attention should be called to
it. From seven years to twenty care
must be taken of the teeth lest they de-
! cay. There is little danger of that
after the twentieth year is passed. But
| from that time on one should look out
for tartar. A mouth affected in the
way 1 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.

India company as gift to the emperor

the figure Of woman. This figure
was of pure ivory and gold. and sat
with her right hand resting upon a
tiny clock fastened to the side of the
vehicle. \ part of the wheels which

hammer Of the same metal, and, al
though it appeared to have no cOnnec-
ton with the clock, regularly struck the
hours, and could be made to repeat by
touching Il diamond button on the
iady'S bodice. In the chariot ut the
ivory lady'S feet there was a golden
figure of dog, and above and in front
were two birds, apparently flying be-

McK,nley's Protection Papacea.

"What has protection done for us?
It has made the youngest country In
the world the greatest of them all; and
vet they call It robbery" says Gov.
Mckinley in burst of exultation.
WHY not, Major9 Hasn't protection
made us rich and great by taxing the
foreigner, and isn't it robbery to take
the property of another without giving
something in exchange? But If pro-
lection has not made us great by brig
andage and piracy, how has it done SO
for certainly we are great: Hasn't
it made us great by not taking it; that
is, by taking less of it than is taken by
any other country
Suppose we had high tariff walls be-
tween every State like those between
every little country of Europe; would
we have attained our present great
ness? In no other part of the world Is
so much trade carried on without tar
iff restrictions as in this country. We
NAV be thankful that our fOrefathers
decided to abolish forever the "protec-
tion" of one State from another by
tariffs, -
Look what protection has done for
australia Until few years ago that
young continent was making great
progress, The protection mania struck

independent and get rich without the
| aid, If not at the expense, of its neigh-

each had barricaded against every
other colony, there was crash and

wrecks. Protection is great remedy,
but 1t should be taken in homeopathic
doses to produce the best effects.

Working n Creased Grarr,sr.

While was in "growler joint" or a
saloon in the growler district yesterday,
a TYPICAL tough came in with u large
can under his arm. 1t had no handle
and was badly battered.
Gimme a pint" he said.
The bartender took the can, felt the
inside with his finger, smiled and said
as he winked: Yer can't give me the
dinky dink, Gull. I'm dead onto your
curves"
He took a towel and carefully wiped
the inside of the can. Putting the can
under the beer spigot he let the beer
run until the froth came over the top,
aud then returned the can to the tough.
Great game, that" said the barten-
der, ''and it's new, too. Only a grOwler
rllsher would think of it. How is 1t
worked? This way: One Of the gang
gets a piece Of fat and rubs it all
around the can on the inside. They
rub it O short distance from the middle
if the can is large, and near the top ii
small. You see, we never measure 0ur
beer, but just pour it in until the froth
reaches the top. Well, as soon as the
froth strikes the fat around the inside
it won't 60 any higher until the beer
forces it up, so that they get all beer
instead of all froth. See the game2-4

was fully made up to propose in true
romantic style as the steel-clad hoofs

had just $3.50 in his pocket and there
was an extra fare to pay for the re-

cheerful conversation. He forgot his
love in cogitations of how he could
settle with the driver. Happy thought!

The Consumer Paws It.

Under a SO per cent. duty an article
worth 81 is imported, the 80 per cent:
duty added. and the consumer buys 1t
for $3.50, plus expenses and profits.
This tax is either paid by the foreigner
who sells to US, or by the consumer in
this country, who finally uses the arti-
Gle. If paid by the foreigner, then in
the case above referred to the foreign
er reduced his price from 81 so to ST.,
so that when the duty is paid the price
with the tariff will he the same that it
would have been without the tariff.
TO show the absurdity OF this position
it is not necessary to inquire why the
protectionist advocates SUCH variety
of duties (why not treat all foreign ma
tions alike and subject them to equal
duties?), but it is sufficient to say that
a tariff which is not paid by the con-
sumer is of no benefit to the protected
industry. If the producer OF the pro-
tected article receives the same price
for his goods with or without the
tariff. what difference does it make
to him whether the duties be high
or low? II he cannot compete without
the aid of tariff, how can it help him
except by enabling him to charge q
higher price for his product? How
can he charge higher price unless he
can compel the consumer to pay it!
And how can he compel the consumer
to pay it unless the tariff increases to
the consumer the price of the compet-
| ing article? The only reasonable on
| logical purpose of the tariff, therefore,
is to compel the consumer to buy at
home at high price by preventing q
purchase abroad at q lower price. II
Is here that the principle of protection
violates the right of the individual,
and its establishment disregards the
| spirit If not the letter of the Constitu,
| tion,-William J. Bryan, in the North

Christian VII. of Denmark was a
weak, though perhaps we'll meaning
king, and 1t was during his very early
youth that he fell under the influences
of evil counsellors. One of these was
Counte Holke, dissolute Courtier, who
accompanied his royal master to Eng
land, and there led him into infamous
courses, to be finally defeated In his
evil designs by homely truth-tcller
Of the common people.
The king and his friends went one
night in disguise to some place Of re.
sort frequented by Danish and Swedish
shipmasters and there Count Holke
asked one old skipper what he thought
of his king and If he were not proud
of the honors paid him by the Eng
lish.

''that with such couEsellors as Count
Holke, it will be a miracle IL he escapes

''but everybody In Copenhagen pities

out on his voyage, to the malice OF
Count Holke,"
The king now broke in for the first
time. He gave the honest sailor n
handful of ducats, and saidi
"Ten the truth, my man, and shame
the devil!'
His Danish speech gave the old man
n hint of his identity. and he looked
upon his sovereign with love and rev.
erence.

tone, "but cannot conceal my grief
to see you exposed to the temptations

New Products From Corn.

when corn is raised in large quaint
ties the cobs are looked on as a nui-
sance, and can be bought by the cal
load at Il very small price. If, however
this latest development becomes a sue
cess, the figure is liable to rise rapidly.
1t has been found that after the cobs
have been boiled long enough, a liquid
is obtained which, by adding a very
small portion Of sugar, becomes almost
as palatable as maple syrup, and which
can be evaporated into something
which would pass as very average
maple syrup. With corn capable of
producing bread, starch, oil, sugar and
a dozen other articles, the idea Of its
being sold under any conditions as low
as 20 cents q bushel is idiotic. 1t ought
to be worth almost its weight in gold"
