ENGLISH PeODIe'S Teeth.

Education is playing sad havoc with
the teeth of modern generations. SO an
experienced dentist in the west end says,
and he ought to know. Formerly de-
cayed teeth were generally attributed to
a secret fondness for bonbons, but the
idea is, it appears, quite a mistake In.
fact, sugar is rather nourishing than
otherwise. The truth is that the ancient
sturdy, square jaw of the English race
is changing, through lessons and book
learning, to an angular or Y shape,
which presses the molars one upon the
other, and will, in time, prevent some
of them from cutting at all. Indeed.
this catastrophe is not infrequent al
ready. In many cases the original
teeth are becoming less in number than
they ought to be, and often the "wis-
domers" fail to appear. This in an ed
ucated jaw is lamentable. The new
facial form is, according to the dentist,
much cultivated by ladies, who find that
It is popular among gentlemen. The lat
ter like women with the educated" an
gle of chin, which generally carries
with it pearly but very frail teeth. If
the specialist be right, this process of
selection, aided by further lessons and
more study, will, in the course of time,
produce a race without any teeth at
all. Then will the dentists make for
tunes, for people will require artificial
sets from babyhood onward.-London

Salt for British Tars.

1t is only within the last two weeks
that the British admiralty has sanctioned
the use of salt in the bluejackets' daily
allowance of food. Hitherto, if the Eng
lish sailor felt the need of salt, he had to
purchase it, and it was entirely omitted
from the list of condiments supplied to
him by the state. The reason for this
was that in the old days of wooden ships
the sailors diet consisted almost exclu-
sively of sailed meats, and under those
have constituted an irritating superfuity.
But in these modern times salt horse"
has become a thing of the past, and with
rations composed of either fresh meat or
canned food salt is not only a desirable
seasoning, but a necessity, the absence of
salt from food being extremely detrimen-
tai to the health.

John Goodwine, Jr., has opened his
giant 6-inch well two miles east of Dan
vile, Ill. This we'll was bored when
artesian water was first found in that
vicinity. but it furnished such a volume
of water that Mr.. Goodwine became ap-
prehensive that it would undermine his
farm and inundate his premises and
stopped it up. During the prevailing dry
spell peaty bog on the farm, located in
the middle of a large corn field, caught
fire. The smoke from the burning bog
was suffoca ting, and as the soil, which is
of a vetable formation, was burning sew
eral feet below the surface, all ordinary
means of quenching the fire were inef-
fectual. AS a last resort Mr.. GOodwine
ordered his employees to open the big well
and turn it onto the burning bog. When
the rocks and piling were Withdrawn and
the well opened. powders weighing six
pounds were thrown out and a 6-inch
stream of water rising to an altitude of

of the we'll was measured, and it was
found that it was flowing $1,000 barrels,
or over 100000 gallons of water per

very different in many respects from

Supervisor Of Schools, aud q County
Board of Education.
The County Commissioners, the
Clerk of the Court and the Register

shall constitute the County Board OF
Education. The last named Board,
the Clerk of the Superior Court and
the Register OF Deeds, shall have 8
meeting on the first Monday in July
to select the Supervisor of Schools,
whose term of Office is Two years.
At this July meeting the County
Board divides the county into as
many school districts as there are
t townships in the county. At this
meeting there will be elected five
men from each township who take
the place OF the committeeman I'm.
der the old law. This committed
locates aud establishes the schools
for both races, and no school a be
established with less than sixty.fve
pupils of either race.
This law makes it obligatory upor
the County Commissioners to order
an election at'their meeting 10 June
