CARE OF THE TEETH.
How to Clean Them and Prevent
ReccdinS of the Gums.

1t seems very simple matter to
clean the teeth, and one may think it
hardly worth while to read any direc-
lions for such an ordinary procedure,
but there is Il right way and wrong
way of doing everything, and it is safe
to say that more persons go about
cleaning the teeth in the wrong way
than in the right Not only is the way
"a which this is usually done inef
t,ctual, but it may even be injurious
to the teeth and to the gums.
The gums play most important
part in keeping the teeth firmly in
place, and every care should be taken
to prevent them from rcccding, says
Youths Companion. One of the most
common causes of this recession is the
injury caused by the improper use of
the toothbrush, yet this injury can be
wholly prevented by little care.
In the first place, the brush should
not be too hard, and the bristlcs should
not be too close together. The surface
of the brush should be Serrated, or un-
even, with longer and shorter bristles,
so that the projecting ridges may pene-
tratc between the teeth. 1t Is better
to have the brush slightly cOncave, to
fit the arch of the teeth, but in that
case one must have a second one for
brushing the backs of the teeth.
The teeth should never be scrubbed
by moving the brush from side to side
across them, us most persons do, for
1t is that that pushes the gums back
and tears them. This motion, especial
ly when the brush is a stiff one and a
gritty powder is used, may also injure
the enamel of the teeth. The teeth
should be cleaned by rolling the brush
in Il direction from the gums toward
the cutting edge, so that the DriStles
will not only scrape the surface, but
sweep hetTecn them. This motion
will coax tie edge of the gum over the
neck of the teeth instead of pushing it
away, and as the movements in this
direction can be neither so rapid nor
so fOrcible as when they are from side
to side the gums are less liable to be
lacerated by the bristles. The backs
same way, while the grinding surfaces
must be cleaned by to and fro as
well as Il lateral rubbing. Lukewarm
water is best for the teeth, and some
good dcntifrice should be used once
day.

A NURSERY CLOCK.
Very Handsome Homemade Chrfst
mas Present For the Children.

A Very Handsome Homemade Chrfst-
mas Present For the Children.
To make all amusing nursery clock
the first purchase should be some
strong millboard, prepared for oil
painting. This millboard should cover
the face Of an ordinary open clock and
project about an inch all round. On
the top of the square should be cut the
figure of black cat. The cat and
square are In one piece.
The cat should be painted in black
oil color, with yellow or green eyes,
and the whole clock face painted bright
leaf green with vermiliOn outline.
When this is dry. describe circle
from the hole where the hands pass
and carefully draw twelve mice SINH
lar to those in the Illustration. Be
careful that point marked OH the
center Of each mouse comes exactly
over each of the twelve divisions Of
the circle. The stretch of the com
pass in drawing the circle is One-sixth
of the measurement of the circle;
therefore if this distance is halved 1t
will naturally give one-twelfth.
IL preferred, the mice can be cut out
of white paper and gummed on the
face of the clock.
Clear red figures on the body of the
mouse mark the hours. The millboard
face is now vanished and tackled over
the existing wooden face with four
gilt lacks. Before lacking on, how
ever, get some one to paint, in black
artistic and plain lettering. the old
rhyme Of "Dickcry. dickery dock"
The clock hands should also be black
ened.
The weights are painted vermilion
and vanished. and you should buy

cheted scallops is added. To make the
trimming ecru linen thread, the very
finest ObtaiIablc, is needed. Nothing
cOarser than 100 should be accepted.
Two inches is good width for the
insertion, and the edging should be
three or four inches wide. For a table
cloth two and one-half yards square
are needed eight and three-quarter
yards of insertion and ten yards of
lace edging. An embroidered mono
gram should be worked in one corner
of the linen.
Next to tablecloths doiles are the
most acceptable linen gifts. The pretty
dolly design shown in the sketch Is n
linen and point lace affair. So many
amateurs are skilled point lace makers
that no directions for fashloning the
trimming are required. The braid is
twisted to form the flowers and leaves,
and the figures are joined by chain
stitch. Possibly the irregularty of the
pattern is its chief charm, for 1t Is
the floral centerpiece. all the rest Of
the design radiating from that. The
two plain, winglike parts Mt each side
of the rose are linen.
Fancy centerpieces also make nice
holiday gifts. Almost any sort of
muslin may be used to form CEN
terpiece If colored slip be placed
beneath. Spotted muslin may be en-
broidered to represent daisy blossoms
by using the spot as the flower center
and working petals round it in outline.
This work is worth the trouble. as 1t
looks very effective at trifling cost A
couple of skeins of silk will suffice for
quite a large piece Of muslin, and any
color may be selected, the underslip
being of the same tint or a little deep

of the silk covered with one of the
muslin or else with a full frill of imi-
tation valenciennes lace.

design. with stars at intervals. may be
substituted for muslin, and the result

make of muslin now sold at fancy
workshops is adapted for embroidery
with narrow ribbon or with ordinary
silks, and as It Is moderate in cost it
is possible to use 1t for table centers

THEATRICAL MODESTY STYLE.

Within the last twenty years there have been actresses on our stage and he English stage who won the admira- ton of the public not because of their art. or even their beauty, but because they were supposed to lead q conyen- tiJnal lives and to have come safely through the temptations and perils Of a profession which has ever been regard ed as unconventional Mrs. Kendall is prouder of being a British matron of the striCtest sort than of being a Clev- CT comedian. She erred by oYerdoing It, however, and when she announced that there was only one in her class the adherents Of other very proper stage people howied in derision. Mir BeerbChntree's company is barred to anybody at whom the finger of scandal has ever been pointed. Even the inno- cent party to a divorce suit is not al- lowed on the premises. We all know of the young actress who became the darling of the populace here and abroad when a vigorous press agent circulated the report that she had Ie- fusedwith scorn to meet King Edward, who was then the bad prince of Wales.
 The latest development of theatrical deCorum takes q different shape The sensa tional novel of q sensational nov elist having been turned into a sensa- tional play. one of OUT prominent ac- tresses refused to take the part of the heroine if the version of the drama used abroad were followed here. She would not separate her domestic life from her professional life, so if she was to appear in the guise of the prin- cipal female parsonage that young woman would have to be reformed. And reformed she was. The gay and festive adventures of the book became model O: all the domestic virtues and did nothing which could bring the blush of shame to the checks of even q Philadelphia first-night audience.
 We have had plays of a French orig in, the writers of which would not recognize them as given on Broadway. Virtue triumphant in the last act sent the most Puritanical home satisfied that the Parisans must be good deal less black than the ywere painted.

WHITE TANKS DISTRICT.
Good Showing on Dunn and Welch's s
 National Property.

William Dunn, who came down from Troy a few days ago, expects to leave this morning for the White Tanks. north of Buckeye, where he is interest ed with Harry Welch in the develop ment of couple ot fine gold claims called the National and the National Extension Their property can hardly be called a prospect any longer as the development has shown considerable body of ore and enough of 1t has been mllled to show that the goods are there.
 Both claims are on the same ledge and there are two shafts on the prop erty. one 1C5 feet deep and the other 125 feet deep. There is 200 feet of drifting and crosscutting on the 100 foot level and about 100 feet on the 55 foot level. Two hundred tons of ore were taken out and run through a Huntington mill at Buckeye six years ago but for some reason the values were not saved though the gold is free as seen by an examination of the tail- ings Assays return from ten to thirty dollars a ton.
 A man by the name of Stewart has a group of claims in the same vicinity on which is a shaft 1S0 feet deep and the bGSA Ol plOSptNlS Abl IulNlt Oi h- IlC has a good horse whim on the property. MT.
