Care Of the Teeth.

Good teeth and sweet breath are
within the reach of most every one.
The services OF good dentist will
insure the former against such i'm.
projections as shall be positively un.
slightly or taint the breath. The ad
vice Of your dentist should be sought
as TO the proper tooth powder TO use,
as many o: the compounds on the
market contain ha ul acids and
gritty substances. There is no surer
way TO destroy the teeth than by the
want OF brushing or rinsing after
eating fruit In California, where
fruit OF all kinds is so cheap for ten
months in the year as to be within
the reach of almost the poorest
beautiful teeth are rarely found,
while 1t Is a very common thing to
see even young women with false
teeth. Six ounces of rose water
mixed with two drachms OF chlorate
OF potash is an excellent purifier of
the breath. Rinse the mouth after
each meal. For acidity OF the stom
ach, which gives bad breath, use a
solution OF teaspoonful Of baking
soda and half as much salt in glass
Of water. Drink little OF this and
rinse the mouth also.

That Was Waiting to BE seHAc
An extraordinary incident occurred
few nights since In the course OF
telegraphic business between this
city and little out -of-the-w way Office.
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. The
facts are unQuestionable, and may be
vouched for by two operators, who
have had NJ communications since
the strange event occurred. There
was filed in the Pittsburgh general
ONCE OF the Western Union Tele-
graph company, shortly before mid
night between last Thursday and
Friday, a message which read; "Wil-
liam Murray, ElwoOd Junction, Ia -
Your mother died tonight. Come
home" This message was marked
''rush." 1t was shot upstairs In the
pneumanic tube and la d on the desk
OF one OF the best operators. This
operator did not know the name OF
the operator at Elwood Junction.
That is a small station on the Pitts
burg and Lake Erie railroad, where
there Is rarely any commercial busi-
ness At night there Is scarcely any
railroad business, as only an occasional
freight passes the place, and that Is
slow business The Pittsburgh Office
began calling Elwood Junction, sound
ing the two letters which indicate
that telegraphic station. There was
no response, and the call was con-
t.nued for some time. Then, as still
no answer came, another piece of
work was taken up and dispatched.
The calling OF Elwood junction was
resumed. The Pittsburgh operator
was very busy and began to be an
poyed. after several minutes of
sounding tle answer came. Whats
the matter, old mani" inquired the
Pittsburgh sender over the line. The
operator at Elwood Junction replied:
~ fell asleep In my chair" Don't
do IT," answered Pittsburgh; 'It's a
bad habit" II wish l had not" re-
sDonded Elwood. "for / had a bad
dream ! dreamed my mother was
dead" Don't mind dreams" said
Pittsburgh, There's nothing in
them. have a message for some
body out your way" The message
OF William Murray was then licked
over the wire There was a brief
pause when the telegram was ended.
Then there came back these words
from the night operator at Elwood
Junction: "My Cod Trouble never
ceasesl 1t is my mother" The opera
tor at the junction was William
Murray and he had received the
message announcing the death OF his
own mother within an hour or the
time when he had dreamed OF her
death. The Pittsburgh operator was
affected by the answer. and he wired
a message OF sympathy asking par
don for his testing sentences. Will
liam Murray's mother was Mrs
Hanora Maloney Of McKee's Rocks.
She had been married a secohd time
to Nicolas Maloney

Mr. G. n. Moreau, of Val Verde
County, stated that he had received
information from his foreman, Leal
Martinez, OF the existence or a herd
OF about forty buffalo in some rough
country near the Mexican border.
martinez told me-" said Mr..
Moreau, that he found the herd in
a small valley between two ranges OF
big hills, many miles from any SET
tier That part OF Val Verde County
Is very remote, and il is possible that
the herd has been there tor several
years without being seen by anybody.
Martinez stated that he counted the
herd, and that there were between
forty and afty buffalo in it. He is a
truthfu, man, and i believe his
statement Is correct 1t has been
rumored for several years that herd
or buffalo existed in that section of
the border, but these rumors were
never verified before to my knowl-
edge" Further corroboration is fur
nished by DR.. j. Il Taylor, OF San
Angelo, on whose rancn Mr.. Fulton
was hunting when he killed his 5uf.
IA o. DR.. Taylor says that twice
since that time he has located herd
OF some thirty buffalo in the Devils
River country.

THE WORLDS BREAD EATERS
Some Queer Facts Concerning the Diet OF
Various Civilized Countries-

Some Queer Facts Con eerning the Diet OF
Various Civilized Countries
Reports recently received from sew
eral American consuls give some in
teresting data in regard TO the bread
consumers OF the world. They show
that while Portuguese worries
through year with an average bread
supply OF l76 pounds-about half
pound day-a Spaniard, just across
the border, requires 4l3 pounds per
annum, and Spain cannot be regard
ed as wheat growing country,
either. In Hungary, where waving
neids OF grain are common in the
wheat'growing season, 36l pounds a
year on an average supply a native,
while an Austrian who also raises
more or less wheat, gets along with
l81 Iounds year. Only li3 POUNDS
OF flour is required by German In a
year, 1876. by Dane, while the Rus
SLAMS, the greatest wheat-growers In
Europe, eat but 80 pounds per annum
per capita A native OF Belgium con-
sumes 27s pounds and OF America
357 pounds, while the Switzer eats
AS pounds per annum, IN Italian
80, Dutchman 2S3, an Eng ishman
352 pounds.
The greatest foir-eater in the
world is the Frenchman. He con-
sumes nearly two pounds q day. or
705 pounds in year. This enormous
quantity consumed by Frenchman,
when compared with the So pounds
per annum which a Scandinavian re-
quires, revives the old theory that
climatic influences have more to do
with the demands OF nature than
education. In the extreme northern
climates where cold is severe flour
does not seem to be the favorite
food. There is not so much combus-
tion In IL as in oils and animal food.
The Laplander, who eats no -four at
all, is sometimes known to consume
seven pounds OF whale or seal blub-
ber at one meal. A Russian, who
only eats SO pounds in year, Of The

RUDYARD KIPLIEG has stirred up
the New England press by tell ,ng
the Londoners that there is a we'll
defined "p belt" extending from
Maine down into New York, and
that this area is also distinguished
by chronic dyspepsia. AS matter
OF fact, the pie Is one OF our national
institutions, and 4 its belt is
as long and wide as the
country. Emerson, the sunny
philosopher, ate pie even for break
fast. and he staLds comparison well
with Carlyle, TO whom pie was un-
known. One who ate breakfast
with Emerson In California relates
that Emerson handed the pie around
the table, and when all had refused
helped himself TO a slice with the
remark, "But what Is pie for?"
Kipling has yet to say as good a
thing as that But, as he married a
Vermont girl and is young, he may
learn good deal.

Officers recommending complete
change in the uniforms worn by tho
navy. Fortunately for the officers,
however, the changes are not such as
will entail much additional expense
IN the purchase of new clothing, and
are to be made gradually, so that they
will not be compelled to purchase
complete outfits at once. The present
navy uniform is regarded as one of the
handsomest in the world, but the
changes which are now ordered are
said to be demanded by convenience
and comfort. The present heavy over

cover, used over the regular service

from now the special full dress is to
