JUSTIFICATION A LOST ART.

Mastication is rapidly becoming a lost
art, and although we have become hard
ened to the fact that three-fourths of the
dyspepsia is due TO this cause, 1t might
surprise some of us to know that the early
decay of the teeth and disease of the
gums are occasioned by this same lack
of maxiliary exercise. "A disease of the
gums, called Riggs disease, which is every
day becorGing more common, is caused al
most entirely by the want of proper mas
tcation. Twenty-Five years ago this trou-
BILE was not considered of any Importance
by the dentist on account of its rare oc-
currence. To-day it is giving more care
than the decay of the teeth, as he is fire.
quently consulted by patients who have a
full set of natural teeth which are quite
loose in the jaw. Aside from this they are
sound and healthy; and after a certain
development in the disease nothing can be
done to help them. By lack of exercise,
the blood which should nourish both the
bones and the gums is not carried to the
part; nor the blood carry sufficient ma
terial to the teeth hence the enamel form
ed is defective and early decay results.
frequently, too, the mechanical develop

want of motion.
Among the earlier races defects of the

examining the skulls Of thousands OF IN
dams, early Britons and Chinese, not
single irregularity of the jaw is found
and the teeth that are present are sound
and well formed, The food which they
lived upon, such as roots, herbs, corn and
uncooked meats, required a good deal of
chewing in order TO prepare 1t for the
changes to follow. and as a result the
muscles of the jaw were dense and hard

make money feel heavy in ones pocket.
OF course the display that attracts most
attention still continues to be that Of
wooden goods. braids and trimmings. and
next after tLis the public interest turns
with great iveiness to the study of furs.
Every week the braids develop new phases
and the last outgrowth is a rough-surfaced
black passamenterie with jet and steel
beads cut very fine. and worked into the
edge or center of the trimming in a bright
little pattern. There are also scores of
varieties of appliques that no dress-loviHg
woman could pass over in silence. Many
of the appliCues are cut from what is
called suede Goth In oak and vine-ieaf pat
tern. AS this cloth is quite thick, its edges
are beveled, and then all the ramificatiOns
of the leaf-veins are outlined in stitching
or ia fine bright beading.
Still another and most popular ornamen-
tation for the new gowns is heavy black
cream, or ecru Russian lace, in simple
pattern, and worked up with sparkling
beads.
These braids are all important for the
reason that on them and on narrow bands
of fur we are going to depend wholly for
the garnishment of winter dresses. Fur
and passamentere viii labor side by side
at the noble mission of decoration. and IL
any woman thinks this arrangement
sounds somber it is simply because she
has not seen any of the very lovely new
