THOUGHT HURTS TEETH.
brain Worker Has More Troubis with
His Moiars Than the Laborer.

His MOiars Than the Isborsr.
A prominent New York dentist made
the statement the other day, which he
said vas backed by the highest scien-
tifc authority. that intellectual pur-
suits play havoc with the teeth and
that the more a man tolls with his
brain the more likely are his teeth to
disappear or to become diseased before
he reaches middle life, says the New
York Journal.
The reason why people in this
try have poorer teeth than those OF n
other country in the world Is because
they live at the highest possible pitch
OF nervous pressure. Savage races gen.
orally have teeth superior to those Of
civilized races.
There are many manual occupations,
too, that have a bad effect on the teeth.
quicksilver miners. bleachers who use
chloride OF lime, people employed In
soda factories are some OF those who
suffer. But the most harmful trade Of
all, not only In its effect upon the gen.
eral health. but also upon the teeth,
IL that OF making matches. The phos.
phorus used in their manufacture af-
fects in some way the health OF the
teeth OF those who handle II.
Artificial teeth are made OF all sorts
Of strange substances nowadays, but
probably the most curious OF all ma.
terials used for this purpose is com
pressed paper. A dentist in Germany
has been making them in this way for
many years past. False teeth were
never so cheap as they are to-day. and
at the same time never 80 dear. They
can be purchased as low as So per set
or they may cost as high as 81 800.
There are expensive dentists. as well
as expensive doctors and 1t is not an
uncommon thing for $500 to be paid
for a new outfit of molars. When 1t
comes to expensive teeth, or. rather, an
expensive tooth. probably the costillest
and most highly priced in the world is
that of a sacred monkey. IL Is in one
of the temples OF Siam, preserved in a
golden box. The value the natives put
upon it may be judged by the fact that

the views of Paris and of the hills and
