CARE OF THE TEETH.
To Preserve and Beautify Them
Should Be the Aim of Every 4
Man, Woman and Child.

Everybody admires a good set of
teeth, and the owner of such is always
to be envied. An excellent cam
phorated tooth powder which will not
destroy the enamel of the teeth, and
vet will render them white, is made of
drs. of precipitated chalk, one-half
dr.. of powdered camphor and L DIR. of
~powdered orris root.
1t is not sufficient to use only tooth
powder; a liquid dentifrice is pleas
ant and has beneficial influence upon
the gums To make one, take oZs. of
borax, a quart of hot water and one
teaspoonfuI each of tincture myrrh
and spirits of camphor. Dissolve the
borax in hot water, and when the wa
ter is cool add the other ingredients
and bottle them for use. A few drops
used in a little water form delightful
wash.
It is a mistake to suppose that the
teeth of every person should be of the
same whiteness. The variation of
color is largely a constitutional re-
suit.
Yellow teeth, it is said, are usually
indicative of bodily vigor, and very
pearly white ones of a more fragile
constitution.
There is only one general rule to Of
fer respecting the care of the teeth,
and that is that they be kept immacu-
lately clean and in perfect health.
Their color then matters nothing, for
their condition will prove that they
are well attended to. Should the
gums be tender and spongy, the gen
eral health, upon which the condition
of the teeth so much depends, should
be made the subject of inquiry.
A healing and soothing tooth pow
der is made of .precipitated chalk 1
o., of powdered borax one-half o.,
of powdered myrrh one-fourth o.,
and the same quantity of powdered
orris root-N. Y. Journal

THE talk OF ALIENS.
Amusing Attempts of Foreigners ts
Express Themselves in Our
Language.

Baron Afikosch, the Hungarian
nobleman who became famous
throughout Europe by his endless
series of blunders, was prouder, per-
haps, OF his knowledge of English
than of any other accomplishment,
says the Philadelphia Times. That he
did not speak the language with abb
solute perfection never seemed to oc-
cur to him, any more than the fact that
unusual and unceremonious methods
of saying things might strike English
men and Americans as ridiculous.
This, perhaps, was not to be wondered
at, seeing that part of his knowledge,
at least, had been acquired from the
Theoretically spelled pages of Josh
Billings works, which an American
wag to whom he had appealed for
guidance in English literature had pre-
scented to him. Thereafter it was i'm
possible to persuade the baron that
american" was not a language dis
tinct from that spoken in the British
isles.
Although unwilling to admit the
possibility that his mastery of Eng
lish at the moment was not complete,
the baron most ilIogically was open to
hattery on his progress in the Ian
guage.
''Oh, yes" he said on one occasion
when comp1imented on his linguistic
improvement, Il have made great for
ward steps. Last year 1 would have
said: I go by party but now must
say: I go at party"
On another occasion the baron was
the recipient of favor from an Eng
Iish lady, for which he expressed the
most profuse thanks.
ooh, please don't mention it, baron!"
said the lady, overwhelmed by his
gratitude.
''No, madam, I WON'T he replied in
a confidential whisper.
The most noteworthy manifestation,
however, of the baron's tendency to
interpret English in its most literal
sense was on the occasion of formal
call which he paid an American girl in
Munich
Goodnight. baron.'' said the young
lady as he was leaving. 'Do come
soon again"
81 shall, indeed" said the Hungarian,
and, having passed two hours in a
nearby restaurant, he then returned
to keep his promise.
As the possessor of a garden of con-
siderable extent in Vienna, the baron
found himself molested by trespass-
ers, and in order to check the evil he
prepared a polyglot notice to the eff
feet that trespassing was forbidden.
The English portion of the notice read
as follows:
This ground is private. You will
please keep out Immediately"

A FAITHFUL FRIEND.

Lenox, Mo-, Sept. 1st.-Mr. W. II.
Brown, of this place, has reason to be
thankful that he has at least one friend
by whose good advice he has been
spared much pain and trouble. He
says:
Il have had backache for over twelve
months. Sometimes L could hardly get
up when I was down, the pain in my
back was so great.
Il tried many things but could not
get anything to help me or give me
relief till good friend of mine advised
me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
after 1 had used two boxes the pain
in my back had all left me and I was
as well as ever | was.
Il am very thankful to Dodd's Kid
ney Pills for what they have done for
me, and I will never forget my friend
for having suggested this remedy"

FEMININE FINERY.~
Notes of the Modes Cleaned from the
Authorities on the Latest
in Dress.

The high crush girdie is seen on
many of the Paris gowns, says a
fashion authority.
The trimming for all gowns,
whether ginghams or cheviots, or
light cotton gowns, of any material
or stamp, is the band of silk.
A beautiful dinner gown is of ecru
lace, embroidered in raised rose de-
sign done in gold tissue, with
threads of dull gold running about
the design. There are also some
touches of red velvet.
Very French and gay is the gown
of red and white wolfe. with it's
strappings of white cloth. The
sleeves have broad, turned-back
cuffs, beneath which are big soft
puffs of mousseIine. drawn into a
deep cuff of lace. The shallow
stock-and-chemisett is of lace.
Some charming effects are found
in the finely checked taffetas that
have returned to favor. A gown of
fine pink and white taffeta in checks
is made from the knees down in a
lot of pinked ruffies, put on rather
fatty, although the skirt stands out
as well as the bottom. The skirt is
hung in small tucks from the waist
band. The bodice has a little shout
der cape Of ruff1es and cravat of
Open-work embroidery and narrow
lines OF black velvet.

FACE OF GAS METER.

the face of a gas meter. 1t will be
noticed that the hands of alternate
dials move in the same direction.
The dial at the top registers frac-
lions of, a cubic foot and is used for
test purposes only. The figures on
the right-hand dial represent hun
dreds of cubic feet and when the
hand has made one complete revoIu-
ton a thousand cubic feet will have
passed through. Each thousand feet
will be checked on the lower dial I'M
til 10000 in reached, when the hand
of the last dial moves one point. 1t
should be noted that the hands can
not be reset to zero and that, conse-
quently, each reading should be pre-
served until the next one is taken
and the former deducted from it.
The dotted lines represent the posi-
tion of the hands at a previous read
ing of the meter, namely $500 cubic
feet. The hands now indicate 6,40O
cubic feet. Minus $500 cubic feet
would give 1900 cubic feet as the
amount of gas consumed during the
quarter; at $1.50 per 1000 feet, your
bill should be $500.
A water meter is read in precisely
the same way but the registration is
more minute. The first dial is used
only for testing. The next registers
single feet, then tens, hundreds and
so on. If, after deducting as shown
above, you find you have used 1886
cubic feet of water during the year,
you must multiply this number by
.74S to find the number of gallons,
namely 1884 gallons. This amount
multiplied by the rate per thousand
gallons (unless you pay for water
by the faucet) will show the amount
OF your water bill.-Ernest R. Lowe,
in Good Housekeeping.

Food for Nervous individuals.

AS rule. salt meat is not adapted
to the requirements of nervous peo-
pie, as nutritious juices go into the
brine to a. great extent. Fish of all
kinds is good for them. Raw eggs,
contrary to common opinion, are not
as digestibIe as those that have been
Wei cooked. Good bread, sweet but
ter and lean meat are the best food
for the nerves. People troubled
with insomnia and nervous starting
from sleep, and by sensations of
falling, can often be cured by limit
ing themselves to a diet of milk
alone for a time. An adult should
take a pint at a meal, and take four
meals daily. People with weakened
nerves require frequently larger
quantity of water than those whose
nerves and, brains are strong. It aids
the digestion of these by making it
soluble, and seems to have a direct

creations in this direction is to be
found in her magnificent country
home on Long Island, comprising a
mansion and 700 acres of land, which
was presented to her by her father
in-law, John w. Mackay. In this
house Mr.. Mackay has had construct
ed the most wonderful bath-that has
ever been seen in America. It was
brought over from Italy and is cut
from a solid block of marble, which
cost something like $4,000. The pool
is sunk in the floor and five broad
marble steps lead down to it. The
water spouts from the mouths of ex-
quisitely carved marble dolphins. An
other feature of the bathroom is
great fireplace built into the side
wall of the room. Each of the other
25 bathrooms in the house has lux
urious Pompeiian bath let down in
the marble floor in the same way
It was Mrs. Mackay's own idea that
each of her 80 servants should have
separate room. The rooms are
small, but are sunshiny and comfort
able.
Although spending fabulous sums
every year upon gowns and the graf
ifcation of literary whims regarding
fads, Mrs. Mackay is by no means
neglectful of the more serious prob
lens of life, says the Chicago TrIb-
une. She gives fully as much to
charity as she spends for her own
pleasure, and makes it rule never
to buy herself bit of finery with
out giving the equivalent to some de-
serving person or institution Mrs
Mackay is a new type of the fashion
able woman, and she has attracted
no end of attention in the east-in
fact, throughout the United States
People stare at her so much when
she drives out in New York that she
| wears veil covered with heavy lace
founces that completely hides her
| features like a mask. She is a beauty
with dark hair, dark eyes, and an eX-
quisite figure. Her gowns are the
best that can be bought. Jewelry is
her pet fad, and she has one of the
finest collections of jewels in Amer
lea. One ring is a Hindu curio, which
cost $4,000. 1t covers three fingers
and is of old yellow Chinese gold set
with rare rubies, diamonds and en-
eraIds. Among her furs is a single
coat of sealskins and sables which
cost $1,000.
Mrs. Mackay is justly reputed to be
the most original woman in New
York society. She furnishes the sur
prises, fashions and fads for the
young members OF Gotham's smart
set, and the distinction of having in
augurated baby parties in this coun-
try belongs to her. She is the mis-
tress of one of the most beautiful
country homes in America, and yet
her friends say she has not been
spoiled by all this Iavishness. She
always has time to be pleasant to
everyone, and, although she enter
tains constantly, she never neglects
her little daughter for society.
Stationery is one of Mrs. Mackay's
many fads. 1t is all in violet, and, be
cause she thinks a red two-cent
stamp is inharmonious on vioIet-en-
velope, she uses the three-cent stamp
instead.

MRS. CLARENCE MAcKAY.
New York Society Leader who Is
Called the Most Extravasant
Woman in America.

Mrs. Clarence Mackay, the dashing
leader of New York society, with
fortune of almost 4O,0O0,O 600 at her
command, is credited with being the
most extravagant young matron in
America. She spends annually more
than $4,000 On her wardrobe, and
this does not include her lavish ex-

pet fad. With an assured Christmas
present every year of $4,000 for pin

position to lead the younger set of
women in New York in the matter of
extravaganza.
