HINTS ABOUT THE TEETH.
A Foreigner Who Criticises Tendency
to Gold Filings in This
Country.

"The dentists of this country" said
foreigner, according to the New
York Sun, may be the best in the
countries has indeed proved that, but
it is nevertheless the fact that one
sees more gold in the mouths of the
women here than could be found any
where else in the world. 1t may be
that dentistry is cheap and in the
reach of everybody. Whatever the
reason, this popularity is not u
beauty of American women, and if
the practice increases during the next
ten years as it has during the past
decade there will be still more to
criticise in the looks of the women.
/ saw an actress the other evening
whose mouth might have served for

of her teeth built up with gold. She
was not supposed of course to be
anything beautiful, and was COM
edienne to be laughed at. Neverthe-
less, she would have been very much
more entertaining if the amount of

In Europe many of the dentists have
used with women the new porcelain
filings which are white and in nearly
every way exactly like the natural
teeth. The great defect in them is
their frailness. They are very likely,
for instance, to break after one sud-
denly drinks cold water or drop out
of the tooth as easily as if they had
never been put there to stay. The
effect while it lasts is of course much
more likely to increase the appear
ance of the mouth, but the system as
substitute of metal has not been a
success.
Every now and then one hears Of
some new invention to take the place
of gold. So far they have all failed.
Now a new formula has been discov-
cred which is said to combine the
visual merits of the porcelain with
the enduring property of gold. In
that case many women will have cause
to be grateful and so will men who
are weary of the sight of women with
gold in their mouths. A great many
of them who stand in need of this
kind of treatment get in such condi-
ton through rubbing their teeth too
much and too hard. / read the other
day of man old enough to know
better who advised everybody to clean
their teeth three minutes twice day.
He said that at least three minutes of
hard rubbing was necessary, and as a
shorter time could produce no good
results he advised everybody to do
this first by the clock in order to get
into the habit. A dentist told me that
this would certainly rub the enamel
off the strongest teeth if it were kept
UP. 1t is just as bad as the idea
some persons have that stiff tooth
brush so hard that it is almost pain
full is the best kind. AS matter OF
fact, tooth brush to be properly
used should always be soaked for sew
eral minutes, at least ten and not
more than IS in glass of water.
Then it will not only do its work
much better, but prove advantageous
instead of injurious to the teeth"

COURSE OF THE RHINE.
The Source of the Devious River Ii
Wrapped in Mystery, Says
This Writer.

Augustine Birrell, late NJ. P, and au-
thor of "Obiter Dicta," etc, thus de-
scribes in Century the devious course
of the Rhine:
"The birthplace of the Rhine Is
wrapped in mystery. 1t is given to few
to dam with their fingers the first
tricklings of great river. How many
English have traced the shy Thames
to her source, or the Mersey? Research
is apt to be tedious. To most of us.
as to our artist, NJ. Andre Castaigne, the
Rhine flows out of Constance lake, and
after giving three leaps over the rocks
at Schaffhausen steps westward with
Il cheerful alacrity, as if it meant, like
a good American, to see Paris before
it died, till it reaches Basal, where
as if suddenly mindful of the father
land, it turns hastily to the right and
pushes its way up the map of Europe
past Strasburg, Mannheim, Koblenz
and Cologne, by Dusseldorf and Wesel
till 1t reaches the low countries, where
againits course becomes obscure. What
happens to the Rhine at Utrecht !:

plant. Had my father sent me to Ut.

authority on the subject. AS it is,

notion that puts Rotterdam on the

WATCHING THE WASPS.
An Interesting Occupation But One
That Is Not Unattended with
Danger.

Among my favorite insects, writes
Charles B. Bennett in St. Nicholas, are
the common social wasps, especially
those that do not make any coverings
over their nests. One reason is be-
cause like to study insects in their
wild state, and the social wasps are
almost the only active insects that can
be kept, and yet remain entirely free.
BY carefully bringing nest, with all
the wasps on it. to good place for OBJ
servation, az just outside of window
which is seldom opened, the habits of
the wasps can be easily watched with
out combining these insects at all. And
there we may watch without any dan
ger of getting stung. The wasps that
do not make any covering over their
nests are preferable to those that do,
because then we can see SO much of
their habits; then, in fact, all of their
domestic habits can be easily seen.
which is not the case with most in
sects.
Wasps also have the advantage of
not being rare, so that generally it is
not hard to procure a nest of some
kind; and if it should not happen to
be just the kind spoken of here, it will
be all the more interesting for diff
ferent ones to tell about the history
of the different wasps when It comes
to next autumn.
And if anyone should fall in love with
these bold and truly very interesting
little neighbors of ours, it may be
satisfaction for him to know that these
little insects are our helpers, even if
they do like to taste fruits, for every
year the different kinds of wasps make
deadly war on the troublesome flies and
the destructive caterpillars, besides on
many other insects that annoy the
farmers. and gardeners, and US.

Did Not All
~ Succeed

Gen. Funston's achievement in cap
turing Aguinaldo recalls earlier at
tempts made by officers of other armies
to make prisoners of the leaders of the
hostile forces. The first attempt at
Selling a general was never carried
out; it involved too many persons, and
the plotters engaged in it worked from
the inside, not from without, as Fun
ston did, and their plans were over
heard. This was the attempt in June,
1777, to seize Washington in New
York; the plan was changed later to an
attempt to poison him. The plans of
the cOnspiratOrs were overheard by
woman, who disclosed them to the AM
erican authorities, and as result the
men implicated were captured and
punished, one of them, Private Thomas
Hickey, of Washington's bodyguard,
being hanged.
After Arnold's treason and his flight
to the British the Americans made an
attempt to seize him. The undertaking
was like Gen. Funston's exploit Ser
geant Champe of Lees legion, was the
principal actor in the scheme His plan
was known only to the chief in COM
mand so when he deserted to the Brit
ish his late comrades fired upon him
and he reached the enemy's lines under
fire of bullets, narrowly escaping
with his life. This was an excellent
introduction to the British and Champe
was received with open arms. But he
was unsuccessful; Arnold moved his
headquarters the day on which Champe
had arranged to capture him. and
Champe had finally to desert from the
English and return, again under fire,
to our lines. When Washington wish

TO GROW SILK WORMS.
Congress to BE Asked for Funds to
Provide for New Industry

Provide for q New Industry.
FOR the purpose OF making expert
ments in the raising Of silkworms and
the production of raw silk, Secretary
OF Agriculture Wilson proposes to ask
congress for an appropriation of $780,
OOO. II successful in this endeavor and
II MS experiments turn out we'll, it is
MS hope to establish in the United
States an industry which will keep
within our borders considerable por-

raw silk. 1t is the belief of the promo
ter or the scheme that the south will
prove most fertile field for silk
farmers and that eventually the in
dustry will be conducted there and in
the west on extensive lines. The sci
ence of raising silkworms is most in
teresting. The silkworm is the larva
OF moth and may be regarded az
truly domesticated showing no desire
to escape from confinement if kept sup
Piled with food. The eggs of the silk
worm are nearly spherical and about
the size of turnip Seeds Each female
produces on an average from 300 to 400
of them about 10000 making an ounce
in weight. The eggs, when about to
hatch, are spread out on clean paper
thinly, and over them are laid small
pieces of ordinary mosquito netting,
over which are scattered a few finely
cut mulberry leaves. The newborn
worms at once pass through the
meshes of the net in search of food,
and the whole can be easily removed
to the place where they are to pass the
first stage of their existence. When
at length the worms begin to lose APP
petite and throw out silk, it is time for
the grower to construct little arches
of twigs between the shelves for the
spinning Of the cocoons. When this
has been done the worms promptly
mount into the branches and begin to
spin. Care has to be taken to prevent
any two or three of them from making
a double or treble cocoon, which would
be unfit for weaving.

They carried away numberless Russian
