CIGARETTES AND THE TEETH.
A Dentist Says tho Nerves In Them Are
Killed by Nicotine Poisoning.

a DenC1St says the Nerves HI Ah~n AES
Killed by Nicotine Poisoning.
''There is one bad result of constant
cigarette smoking that very few people
know anything about, " said Brooklyn
dentist. 1.-THE result itself has been ap-
parent to me and to all dentists for a
long time, but the cause has been a mys-
terry until very recently. For years the
nerves of teeth in every other way per-
feet have been found dead. A careful
examination of dead nerve found in
an unexposed tooth recently revealed the
fact that it had been poisoned by nico-
tine. and thereby the mystery referred
to was solved. Nicotine poisoning from
cigarette smoking is killing the nerves
In the teeth Of smokers. 1t is most
serious state Of affairs, although most
people will not understand. They think
a dead tooth is as good as live one
They will find their mistake some day.
"a young woman whom l have known
for some time came here the other day
and wanted a tooth attended to- /
worked on the tooth some time, and
some Of the instruments l used should
have made hen scream little bit But
she never made a sound, and l naturally
concluded that the nerve Of the tooth
was dead II surprised me because the
tooth was good one and the nerve I'M
exposed Well, extracted the nerve.
and the minute I saw it knew what
was the trouble.
DO you want live nerve left in
your head?' I asked.
Why, of course, she replied.
Then stop smoking cigarettes, !
said.
Why, doctor, what do You meanT
she began. Then she put ON @ great
show of Indignation.
my dear young lady, said,
what's the use Of talking so? I'm
dental surgeon and know thing when
see it. You have been smoking ciga-
rettes for long time, and my advice
was given in perfectly friendly spirit.
Well, she collapsed then, acknowledged
the truth of what had said, and that
ended it. | don't think that cigarette
smokers figure this result of nicotine
poisoning in with the many other in
furious effects of the weed, but to my
mind it is the most dangerous of all "

With great trepidation Mrs. Poullian

of consideration at this session and she

Do Not Sleep on the Left Side.

There is little doubt that an immense
number of persons habitually sleep Oh
the left side, and those who do so can
nevor, it is said, be strictly healthy. 1t
is the most prolific cause of nightmare,
and also of the unpleasant taste in the
mouth on arising in the morning. All
food enters and leaves the stomach on
the right side, and hence sleeping on the
left side soon after eating involves a sort
of pumping operation which is any
thing but conducive to sound repose.
The action of the heart is also seriously
interfered with and the lungs unduly
compressed. Hence it is best to cultivate
the habit of always sleeping on the right
side, although Sandow and other strong
men are said to invariably sleep on their
backs. Philadelphia Times.

Animals Respect One Another's Rights

Truth forces the observer of nature to
admit that birds and other creatures APP
portion the earth among themselves just
about as man does. A bear has his boun-
diaries beyond which his fellow bear does
not trespass with impunity-the wild
rabbit you see ON your lawn in the
moonlight is the same innocent little
creature you have been seeing every
night all the summer time-and even
the robin that gathers the early worm
for his breakfast from your garden will
show fight when another comes maraud-

year only, for there is good evidence that
the same bird will come back to the
claim it staked off the year previous. -

SUN AND MOON,
A Couple Of Interesting Folklore Stories
Concerning Those LuminArieS.

A Couple of Interesting Folklore Stories
Concerning Those Luminaries.
The most touching of all folklore sto-

mis- "Pueblo Folklore. II is one Of
the many myths of the moon and beauti-
fully conceived. The sun is the ALTA
Their, the moon the AAmother, and both
shine with equal light in the heavens.
But tho Trues, the superior divinities,
find that man. the animals, the flowers,
weary of constant day. They agree to
put out the Allfather's, or suns, eyes.
The AllmotheT-the moon-offers her
self as a sacrifice. "Blind me-" she
says, land leave my husbands eyes. ''
The Trues say, "It is good, woman"
They accept the sacrifice and take
away one of the Allmother eyes. Hence
the moon is less brilliant than the sun.
The man finds rest at night, and the
flowers sleep.
In Mrs. Leiber Cohen s translation of
Sacher MasOch's Jewish Tales" there
is variant of the sun and moon story
derived from the Talmud Briefly told,
the sun and moon are equally luminous.
It is the moon who wants to be more
brilliant than the sun. Deity is angered
at her demands. Her light is lessened.
"The moon grew pale. Then God pitied
her and gave her the stars for compan-
