of all work. This woman's powers Of
adaptability are marvellous. oneyear
ago moving in the wealthiest circles,
living in luxury, we find her today
cooking, washing and doing general
housework, and we understand she
was as much a success as a hired girl
as she was belle in the brilliant
French capital. She might have thus
hidden until forgotten, but for con-
versation overheard on a train from
Leesburg to Washington, in which
young man expatiated upon the
charms of his mothers hired girl, her
intelligence and all-round talents.
Oh! Harry, Harry But for your
long tongue we might still have been
living at ease instead of cooking and
dish-washing. For mother has never
been suited since, and l know we'll
never again find such treasure as
Lady Frances. A woman who has
the ingenuity to fold such pieces as
sheets, towels and stockings and run
them through the wringer, instead of
ironing, should have turned her tai
ents to better account than copying
Uncle Sans legal tenders.
Whenever mother talks of hiring a
new girl Harry always says, "Adver-
tise for an ex-counterfeiter and you'll
sure be suited.

Alum for the Gums and Teeth.

Many years ago l read in an old
magazine-Graham think 1t was
an article on the care of the teeth.
Among other things it said that Hor-
ace Walpole, though living to an ex-
treme old age, had a perfect set Of
teeth at the time of his death He
attributed this to the habit he had of
dissolving very small piece of alum
in his mouth three times day. The
recipe was given him by Mrs. Gros-
venor, in her day a celebrated beauty,
who also retained fawless set Of
teeth up to her death, at the age of
eighty.
Having at that time good teeth, and
feeling in the confidence of youth that
I could keep them good by merely ordi-
nary care, l did not think it necessary
to follow the example of the man of
letters and the English beauty. But
after ten years of married life, the tor
lures of the dentist s chair last summer
recalled the anecdote to my mind.
Four teeth had been extracted, ten
were "filled," I had suffered fearfully
from neuralgia, my gums were sore
and spongy, and all my teeth so sensi-
tive that chewing was very painful,
and biting even a mellow apple would
bring tears to my eyes.
I determined to make a test of the
alum. I placed an ounce of the pow
der on sny washstand, and brushing
my teeth after each meal, l would take
a very small pinch of the alum into
my mouth, then a little water, and
held the solution in for several sec
onds. The first effect was delightful
feeling of cleanliness and an unusual
purity of BREATH and after few months
of regular use, my gums were hard,
and I could bite with perfect ease.
Every housekeeper knows that alum
is a hardener and an antiseptic. 1t Is
used in picking to make the pickles
brittle aud keep them from spelling.
1t is reasonable to suppose that these
same properties render it a valuable
agent in the care of tn. gums and
teeth. l am requiring my children to
use it, and it would be an interesting
experiment in dental science if other
mothers would do the same and report
results. The premature decay Of chill
dren's teeth is deplorable thing, and
if it can be prevented or even retard-
ed by this simple means, the fact
should be made known. 1t should be
carefully used and others may not need
it so often, but l have found it excel
lent.-P0pular Science.

1t Is warm and kind and cheering,
Noble, steadfast and enduring
Use it well
Truths a treasure great and glorious
