Sir Walter Raleigh was an unprinci-

bestowed upon him; but the yellow

THE DENTISTRY OF TO -pAX
Changes Since Washington hnd
Teeth Carved from IA Block OF

Changes since Washington had
Teeth Carved from IN Block OF
Ivory.
When we think reverently and ad-
miringly of the father of our country,
and of all the dangers he dared and
the evils he encountered we are not apt
to remember one of the hardest trials
of his life; and that must have been the
accommodation of his mouth to Il set OF
teeth manufactured 5000 miles away
from that mouth, and carved, it is said,
from whole block of ivory. When he
had contrived to accommodate himself
to the momentous affair it must have
been a singular revelation that his
smile made, and Lady Washington may
have found something trying in the
face opposite her of the greatest and
grandeSt of men. What n marvel in
comparison is the dentistry of to-day,
that knows how to preserve the teeth
indefinitely while that is best,and so to
preserve the shape of the face and the
original beauty of the lips, and upon
necessity can absolutely remove the
bone, and put in it's place the prepared
rubber, to which the plate shall be III
veted and clamped, till a fair face Is
made out of ruin. And what differ
ence in the teeth made to-day to supply
deficiencies, so light SO useful, fitting
so smoothly in the plate, that one al
most longs to see nature replaced and
improved upon universally.
Yet in spite Of the beautiful delicacy
and regularity Of the modern artificial
tooth in general. Il much better effect
is obtained when the teeth are not so
perfect. and each so exactly like its
typical prototype. A little gold filling
here, very slight shortening there, a
tiny gap. hint of overlapping, an atom
or two of unevenneSS at the end, all
help more in the VraiSemblance than
matched and precise perfectneSs does
This, however, is more useful than for
the vraiSemblance in giving individual
ity to the mouth. All and each of these
little peculiaritieS seem to express some
idiOSyncraSy of the person possessing
them; they are like arresting and re-
tanning points to the memory or the
imagination. And provided they be
not to Obtrusive, and the teeth are suf-
ticiently wholesome looking otherwise
they do not at all interfere with the
charm of ''sugared lips parted with su-
gar breath" 1t Is with difficulty, in
deed. that any healthy teeth unless
they are set in ugly and projecting
gums, can do aught but add to the lus-
ter and life of the countenance. A man
whose beard largely hides his teeth can
even meet this difficulty, and is never
at the disadvantage, so far as teeth
are spoken Of, that a woman Is when
these teeth are not all they should be.
But great as the marvels of dentistry
are, and life-like and comfortable as
artificial teeth can now be made. un-
less one Is willing to undergo operations
