"The burghers are getting uneasy at

About children's Teeth.

In most families the good custom OBJ
tains of sending the children to the
dentist for half yearly examinations, in
order that there may be no sudden at
tacks Of toothache from a neglected
tooth. October aud April are favorite
times for this, but the dentists are then
very busy. Instead OF taking time by
the f5relock, and dispatehing the in
fants betimes, it is well 70 remember
the caution of Philadelphia expert.
March, be says, is the worst month in
the year for neuralgia Of the face, and
particularly Of the jaw. Only the vie
tim OF acute facial neuralgia can ap-
preeiate the dolor of this afiiiction.
Therefore, "let sleeping lions lie" if
they will, during March. Do not stir
up dormant neuralgia pain By exper-
iments during this rough and windy
month. Unless your tooth actually
aches. leave it alone, coaxing il through
the March weeks, and making an en-
gagement now for a date in milder
April for the regular spring examina-
tion necessary to enjoy an uninterrupt-
ed summer away from town.

Don't Tire Your Eyes.

1t is unwise to tire the eyes, for if it
Is frequently done they are likely to
lose tone. or course If thoroughly
rested at night they will bear a very
frequent repetition Of fatigue, bat other
wise the sight will grow dim. Chill
dren's eyes, like their brains, require
more care than the eyes of adults. A
great deal of harm is done the eyes in
school BY too little, too much or badly
directed light, which should come from
behind or from one side; never, IL pos
sible 10 avoid it, should it come directly
in front OF Lbe eye The eye is most
dependent upon the general health. It
Is impossible to indicate Just how much
and how intensely the eyes may BEEN
ployed, but it is safe to say that very
large number of persons in civilized
life are constantly verging upon the
danger Of exhaustion of their vision by
Over=training the eyes. Such an ex-
haustion is quite common among young
people who are kept several hours oc-
eupied with printed books. When the
eyes become sensitive to light or tired,
II is folly to force them. No exigency
is an adequate excuse for such an
abuse.

Occasionally he gets his wife 10 ask

with him is his alleged memory for

Opportunities. in Essila.

From LeSiie's Weekly.
A man with thousand American
dollars in his belt and a head with
sound American business ability in it,
landing in Manila within the next six
months will only be able 10 compute
his profits by his ability to count. It
will not matter what business he makes
up his mind to undertake, as long as he
provides articles Of home make or their
imitation. There Is no doubt that
there is fortune to be made by the
man or woman who will start bakery
and candy store such as are to be found
in all large towns at home. Flour,
sugar and other necessary ingredients
can all be bought in open market at
very reasonable prices, and would go
as rapidly as offered for sale. A news
paper agency, where late maga zines
aud American works could be bought,
would be a profitable enterprise. There
is now no way to get anything of this
kind except by individual subscnp-
ton.
The climate does not agree with
many, but people of both sexes who,
while born and brought up in Europe
and England, have lived here some
time, say that they became aeclimated
in few months There is no doubt
that our people would find it the same.
That American clerks and bOOkkeepers
will be in demand there is no doubt
the Filipino is too careless and unreli-
able to be depended upon. In the large
houses that are bound to be established
by both English aud American capital,
positions with large salaries attached
will be at the disposal of those on hand
to accept them. Skilled labor OF every
kind, mechanical and engineering,
will be needed in the municipal inn
provements as well as in the opening
up Of the coal and gold fields farther
in the interior.
With the firm belief that many
Americans will try their fortunes here,
a word to those who know something
on keeping boarding.houses. There is
not a place where comfort at medium
rates can be obtained. Let some one
give his attention 10 this Living is
extremely cheap. The hire Of a servant
is nothing in comparison with Amer
lean prices. A good servant is paid
eight dollars Mexican month-most
of them receive six dollars. Rental il
very economical A fifty-fOOt store on
the main street, the EscOlta, rents to-
day for seventy-five dollars Mexican,
and on the side streets the rents are
much lower. The average rent for
house for six people, with a stable at
taehed, is seventy dollars Mexican
this is in the best neighbOrhoOd.
