Sound Teeth and Cody Only to BE Had
by rs Frequent Use.,
1t is but a little thing, yet OH its
proper use depends much of the happi-
ness of modern man. Why civilized
teeth should be so rotten is a question
which has often been debated, and prob
ably the true answer is more complex
than some would think. Many good
mothers are content t put all toothache

self is not responsible for bad teeth is
proved by the splendid "ivories'' often
possessed by negroes who practically
live upon the sugar cane and thrive
upon it, too, during the whole Of the
season when it is in maturity. Dental
decay is ommon enough. however,
among negroes in towns, and it seems
clear that the carries Of the teeth which
is SO common among most civilized
races is due not to any particular article
of diet so much as to digestive and nu-
tritive changes imposed upon us by our
mode Of life and to some extent by the
fact that by hook or crook we do some.
how manage to live, Notwithstanding
our bad teeth, whereas in a state of ma
ture the toothless mar soon dies.
Recognizing, then, that until the time
arrives when some great social reformer
either mends or ends our present social
conditions our teeth will tend to rot,
and that, whatever the predisposing
causes, the final act in the production of
carries is the Judgment Of microbes Oh
and around the teeth, we see that for
long to come the toothbrush will be a
necessity if the health is to be main
tanned. 1t is only by the frequent use of
this little instrument that those minute
accumulations can be removed which
are at the root of so much mischief. \
few elementary lessons in bacteriology
would, we fancy, greatly startle many
people and certainly would show them
the futility Of trusting to one scrub a
day. The fact is that if people, instead
of looking at the toothbrush from an
aesthetic point Of view and scrubbing
away with tooth powders CD to make
their front teeth white. would regard
it merely as an aid to cleanliness, they
would see that the time to use it is aft.

morning only, when the debris is left

They would also see how inefficient an
instrument the ommon toothbrush is
unless it is used with considerable judg-
ment. One Of the secondary advantages
Of spending a good deal Of money on
dentistry is that at least one learns the
value Of ones teeth. By the time we
have got them dotted over with gold
stoppings and gold crowns we learn to
take care Of them. even although that
may involve the trouble of cleaning
them more than once a day and using
perhaps more than one brush for the
purpose. Hospital

WEIGHTED SILK.
sometimes Ninety Per Cent OF the Ma.
terial Is Foreign Substance,

at the present day the practice Of
weighing silks by means Of astringent
extracts, salts Of tin, s~ilicate and phos.
phate Of soda and a variety Of other
substances, all more or less injurious to
the wear Of the fiber, has reached such
a height that it is seriously affecting
the trade. This is especially the case as
regards black silk, but fabrics Of other
colors suffer III the same manner.
1t used to be remarked that a silk
dress or a silk handkerchief would last
a lifetime, and this is almost true for
absolutely pure silk. But in much Of
the fabric sold at the present day there
is not more than 10 or IL per cent Of
real silk, all the rest being extraneous
matter applied to the fiber in the decep-
tive process Of "weighting."
Pure silk, when burned, leaves a
quantity OF ash which is always consid.
erably less than l per cent, but the ash
left by some weighted silks has been
found to amount to as much as 48 Der
cent Of the weight Of the fabric.
n ~extraneous substances to which
we have alluded are caused to adhere to
the fiber by passing the skeins through
hot baths Of tannin extracts, tin salts.
salts Of iron. anthony, potash, etc.,
and it has been found that when a silk
much charged with such substances is
heated it will not burn with flame, but
will only smolder away, leaving a very
large amount of ash behind.
But these weighted silks are, how.
ever, OF SO combustible q nature that
some have been known to take fire spon-
taneously. a result due to the gradual
decomposition Of the substances used
for weighing, and disastrous fires have
been traced to this cause. Spontaneous
combustion is liable to break out more
especially in black silks that are stored
in warm, dry places Chamber Jour.
