IRON FROM IRELAND,
An Interesting Experiment In the West
ern Highlands.

An experiment of an enterprising
kind is shortly to be made in one of
the congested districts of the Irish
western highlands, says the Pail Mall
Gazette. In the neighborhood or
Drumkeerin, County Leitrim, border
ing the shores of Tough Allen. a fur
mace is now in course of erection for
smelling the native ore, and, so far
as the preliminary trials have gone,
the results have been reasonably sat-
isfactory. The distric< is rich in min
erals-that is, as compared with other
parts Of the island The coal strata are
the uppermost of the secondary depos-
its in the district, and are bedded in
carboniferous limestone, which has for
a base tract of the old red sand
stone. The coal is the black bitumi
nous species, and it has been estimated
that 10000, 900 tons lie within the linn
its OF the four counties of Leitrim.
RoscOmmon, Sligo and Mayo. Beds of
ironstone are numerous; limestone for
smelling has been quarried here be-
fore, and charcoal is obtained from
the neighboring woods. Nearly half a
century ago ironworks were in oper
alton here, but owing to the scarcity
and unsuitability Of fuel the smelling
was discontinued, although the last
iron made was of high quality. To
cope with this drawback and to utiI-
ize turf fuel peat-drying and press

The Care of Teeth.

10 brush the teeth thoroughly after
every meal is, on general principles,
supposed to be quite the correct thing,
and, unless cavities are discovered, all
that is necessary to keep them in good
condition. Even dentists sometimes go
no further than this, and, whether
from ignorance or the certainty that
such a course will, in the long run,
bring them patients, many of them
give no further advice. Teeth frequent
ly decay In consequence of acids gen.
Grated by particles of food that have
become wedged in between the teeth.
All acids at once begin work on the
enamel Of the teeth, and soon make
tiny holes in 1t, or soften it so that it
wears away easily. When in this con-
dltlon 1t is easy to see that stiff
brush vigorously applied is anything
but judicious form of treatment 1t
is important to clear the spaces be-
tween the teeth from all particles of
food, and this can scarcely be done
with brush, no matter how thorough
ly and carefully it may be used. Spe-
cially prepared silk thread, called den
tai floss, is excellent for this purpose,
but even this will not always suffice.
One of the best methods is to draw a
thin rubber band between the teeth.
Spaces that will not admit dental floss
or the finest quill toothpick can be
cleared by the rubber, which accom-
modates itself to all Irregularities, AMI
rarely cuts even on the sharp edges of
broken teeth. The teeth are subject
to many ills, more or less serious and
obstinate. Receding and absorption of
the gums is one OF the most hopeless
of difficulties, and if not taken in time,
soon make the teeth loose, and they
fall out, having no gums to support
them. 1t is said that frequent applica-
tons of fine precipitated chalk to the
gums in the early stages of this disease
will check it, and sometimes allow ma
ture to effect cure. Persons whs are
troubled with acidity of the stomach,
that disagreeable state of affairs when
"one's teeth are all on edge" will find
it an excellent thing to rinse the
mouth and wash the teeth in water con-
tanning a few drops of ammonia. This
is an alkali, and therefore neutralizes
the acid, removing by this means one
of the most prolific sources of disease
and putting the mouth in an agreeable
and wholesome condition.

Rugs and Bare Floors.

Women have long been instructed
that rugs and bare floors are sanitary
essentials in housekeeping. While
this statements undoubtedly true in
many cases, it still admits of qualifi-
cations. In houses whose rooms have
well-made hardwood floors the ar
rangement proves satisfactory, though
all women admit that it increases the
household work. Good floors, however,
are still the exception more than the
rule. When housekeeper attempts to
stain and oil margins that are made
OF uneven, loosely-put-togeth boards,
she finds that she has undertaken a
considerable burden. Such floors al
most never look well. They need the
most constant care to be even of toll
cradle appearance. Wiping over once
day by no means keeps them in con-
dition, particularly If, as is probable,
the house in general be poorly built,
with dust to rise from the cellar and
enter through the windows by many
cracks and ill-jointed corners. More
than one .housekeeper testifies that I'M
der such conditions they have gone
back to fitted carpets. These, it may
be added, can be hygienically cared for
by following the approved method of
sweeping them. This is to brush the
dust from the corners and use car
pet sweeper to take it from the main
space of the carpet, afterwards wiping
1t over with a clean damp, not wet,
cloth. Another point urged for the
rug system, which experience does not
bear out, is its economy. Few maids
can adequately clean the heavy rugs
with which many apartments are
strewn. They demand outside service
about as frequently as does the fitted
carpet. A New York woman who oc-
cupied handsome uptown apartment
paid two dollars a week throughout
the year to have her rugs properly
cleaned every Friday morning. 1t will
be the wise housekeeper who will study
the limitations of her residence before
she decides in favor of bare floors

Insincerity Punished.

A Washington correspondent tells of
public man who is little hard of
hearing, and who sometimes attempts
to save himself from annoyance by pre-
tending to be more deaf than he is. In
a public place one day this man was
approached by an office-seeker. who.
he had reason to believe, was about to
bore him with his tale of woe. The
office-seeker said, in a low voice. which
the others present could not hear:
Twill you please lend me $5?" what
do you say?" asked the public man in
a tone which, he thought, would deter
the applicant from repeating his re-
quest in the presence of so many: but
the man said, in voice which drew
the attention Of everybody within
hearing distance: Twill you lend me
SO, please?" The public man was
ashamed to refuse. why, yes" he
said, and gave the man a $40 note. AS
the borrower went away the lender
looked after him bitterly and said, with
a sigh: "Id have saved S. If I'd heard

Sir Walter SCOTS writings do not
pass into eclipse behind the later pro-
ducts of genius. The Providence Pub
lie Library issues bulletin from
which it appears that during ten years
a few books were drawn more than
three hundred and fifty times. Among
these were "Ivanhoe," Guy Manner
ing" 1.-The Bride of Lammermoor, a."
and Wentworth" "Kenilworth" was
taken out six hundred and twenty-five
times. Thirty-five years after Scott's
death a London bookseller would not
keep in his stalls sixpenny edition OF
the Waverley novels, because they
killed the sale of all other books. Yet
the lure was not in sensationalism;
the popular craving was not for pois-
onous sweets; millions OF readers
found only pure and wholesome hui
man pleasure.

Should Women Work?

A writer in a contemporary argues
that women should not work. Certain
ly, great many women would be glad
IL the writer could give them some
plan by which they might escape from
doing so much hard labor as many of
them have to do. But we presume he
means they should not do the work
which naturally belongs to man,
should not be slaves to hard or de-
grading labor which Injuries the health
and destroys happiness. His argu-
ment runs as follows: Marriage
among the higher animals is form
of mutual cooperation of the sexes.
bird does all the work Of providing
food for his mate; SO 1t is with even
lions and hyenas. Among savage men
women are slaves TO labor largely be-
cause there has been SO much warfare
going on between different tribes that
it was necessary, and mans selfishness
has kept her at it even when not nee
essary, but it is a passing phase Of civ
iIization, and must come to an end
In civilized nations female toll is not
necessary Man alone could do all
the labor and produce all the wealth
required. Woman labor tends to
lower the marketable value of male
labor; for, while woman is working
in the factories, there are everywhere
crowds of men vainly seeking employ
ment, to whom the cessation OF work
is a recurrent and terrible evil.

No doubt a great deal of the wrang-
ling and hairsplitting in congress is
due to the great preponderance of law
yers in both houses. Sixty OF the
eighty-nine senators and 245 Of the
1853 representatives are members OF
the bar, the total of both houses be-
ing: Lawyers, 305; all others. 142.
I This looks like very small proportion

whether lawyers are the best legisla-
tors, and it may be set down as GER
tain that the garrulousness character

Fashion Notes.

Fanciful effects are produced by the
introduction into passementerie and
similar trimmings OF jewels, steel and
the finest crystals. Passementerie with
drop trimmings are liked and fiat gal
loon is among the most popular garni-
lures.
The velvet blouse is the delight of
the young woman's heart, and the va
riety in which it is turned out is sur
prising. Every costumer tries to de-
wise a new style, and the result is that
there is medley in these garments
that sometimes renders a selection
somewhat difficult.
A novelty costume is of novelty suit
ing and velvet. The skirt is Of the
suiting. The waist has a cloth back
with velvet yoke. In front are velvet
sections from the bodice point to a
line where the yoke should cross the
front of the waist From this point
the sections turn back from very
elaborate chemisette arrangement that
fills in the entire front from collar to
waist line. This front Is crossed with
trellis bars Of inch-wide velvet ribbon
In box plaitings. The velvet sleeves
are shirred from the wrists to the
shoulders and there are overhaneing
puffs OF velvet from the shoulders.

But the girl had slipped quietly

coarsely. Perhaps | won't have her,

sullenly left the house.
Every moment that Alice could now
snatch from her drudgery she spent
in reading. Before the books which
Mr.. Ellis had first loaned her were
