A FROG STORY.

Last October, says contributor,
when I was hunting in Quebec prov
ince, Louis, the French half-breed
guide, told me curious Algonquin le-
gend of frogs and rabbits, one proba-
bly, embellished by the humor of Louis
himself.
''Dey hahn much frog in here" he
remarked, waving his dusky hand to
signify the whole vast region of lake,
river and forest. "Air dey balm much
rabbit needer. If dey WASH no frog
nowhere, dey wouldn' be no rabbit no

watching the sensitive face flushing
under unjust accusations, thought her
the sweetest and loveliest of women.
At last, one afternoon as Jack and
Howard were lounging on the porch,
Doris came tripping demurely up the
street, carrying a neat package. Her
eyes shone with o light that fairly
dazzled Mr.. Halliday, and in moment
he comprehended her plan. He arose
as she came up and offered her chair,
but she shook her head playfully and
passed on into the sitting-room. Pres
emily she called Jack.
He got up lazily and went in. How
ard longed to follow, but dared not.
He expected every moment to hear
Jacks voice in angry derision. Instead,
that young man soon appeared with a
beaming face, his fine figure adorned
with wel.-fitted and beautifully made
coat.

Jack paused, and Howard, feeling
like hypocrite, cudgelled his brain
for something to say.

Yet, aside from this unpleasant fea-

PRESERVING THE TEETH.
Ceaseless Care Necessary to Ward OF a
Troublesome Mouth Trouble.

Ceaseless Care Necessary to Ward OF a
Troublesome Mouth Trouble.
What is commonly known among
dentists as Riggs disease of the gums,
is prevalent evil. 1t is a recession of
the flesh from the teeth, which is
scarcely perceptible to the sufferer.
and requires skilled eye to detect it
even in an advanced stage of the COM
plant. Its danger lies in the fact that
the enamel on the teeth is several
times thicker above and below the skin
than under it. Now, what is called the
normal line of the gum. the dentine or
unena meled portion is not exposed,
and nature provides the heavier she'll
coating to protect the visible part, not
only from cold and climatic conditions
but from the danger generated by
small microbes floating about the
mouth after eating.
Therefore, when the gums recede
from the teeth toward the root, the
dentine is left helpless prey to every
acid the mouth contains, and decay be-
gins at the top cutting off all hope OF
saving the lower part.
This recession, as said, is rarely
visible except to the dentist. Its prob
able effect is slight bleeding of the
gums whenever a stiff brush is used.
while the teeth seemingly remain in
their normal condition.
The cause of the irritation is tartar
poison.
The saliva of the mouth is partly
formed of phosphate of lime, which, by
chemical action, is converted into tar
tar. This fastens itself upon the roots
of the teeth and irritating the tender
membrane causes bleeding, sore con-
dition.
In this weakened, porous condition,
these innumerable microbes that lurk
in the cavities of the mouth, float ont
from their hiding places ind seize Upon
the wounded line of skin. This is the
fatal condition, and only the most care
full treatment dislodges them. The
tartar subftance becomes poisonous
and the whole eats its way into the
gums, which stuff and gradually de-
crease.
OF course, this disease is not common
to every mouth. 1t is caused, primarily,
by an acid condition of the saliva,
hereditary in some constitutions, and
its earliest arrester is an anticeptic.
Should, however, any bleeding occur
in brushing, dentists help should be
called in.
The treatment for it continues from
six months to a year, and even then
the disease is only arrested, the re-
establishment of the gum is never as
sured.
The nature of the disease is so in
sidious that prudent women should see
to it that the mouth is frequently ex-
ahmed. Any dentist can tell whether
q person is inclined to this condition,
and ut once remove the tartar and adj
wise an antiseptic that destroys the
microbes.
In fact, some such preparation should
be frequently used to retain q healthy
condition of every part Of the mouth.

acid is especially recommended by the
profession--Henry Sterling, in Albany

IS 1T TURKISH REVOLUTION,

The Sultan More Afraid of the
Young MOslems Than Armenfans.
The Constantinople correspondent Of
the Standard says:
The situation is far from reassuring.
While the Armenians and some sec
tons of the Christian population show
less alarm, the Moslem element is in
a state of effervesence which is caus-
ing the greatest anxiety at the palace.
Revolutionary placards were posted
yesterday at the mosques, and in pub
lie places, clamoring for a constitution
ana for meeting of national assem-
blies. Though great evaporation is
telt by the MoSlem classes against the
Armenians, the young Turkish party is
adroitly profting by the general CON
fusion to excite animus against the
sultan, whom it declares to be pri-
marily responsible for the present state
of affairs. The principal fear at the
palace arises not from the Arnenians
but from the revolutionary spirit dis
played by the Moslems. This fear will
almost certainly bring about Armen-
ian reforms, which there is every rea-
son to hope will be embodied as pub
lished before the end of the week.
