BRUSHING THE TEETH.
How 1t Should Be Done to Prevent
the Recession of the
Gums

1t seems a very simple matter to
clean the teeth, and one may think
it hardly worth while to read any di-
rections for such an ordinary pro-
cedure. But there is right way and
a wrong way of doing everything, and
1t 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 in which this is usually done in
effectual, but it may even be injurious
both to the teeth and to the gums, says
Youths Companion.
The gums play most important
part in keeping the teeth firmly in
place, and every care should be taken
to prevent them from receding. One
of the most common causes of this re-
cession is the injury caused by the i'm
proper use of the tooth brush, yet this
injury can be wholly prevented by a lit
tie care.
In the first place, the brush should
not be too hard and the bristles should
not be too close together The sur
face of the brush should be serrated,
or uneven, with longer and shorter
bristles, so that the projecting ridges
may penetrate 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 sec
ond one for brushing the backs of the
teeth.
The teeth should never be scrubbed
by moving the brush from side to side
across them, as most persons do, for
it is that that pushes the gums back
and tears them. This motion, espe-
cially when the brush is stiff one and
a gritty powder is used, may also in
jure the enamel of the teeth. The
teeth should be cleaned by rolling the
brush in direction from the gums
toward the cutting edge, so that the
bristles will not only scrape the sur
face, but sweep between them. This
motion will also coax the edge of the
gum over the neck of the teeth in
stead 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 Iacerated
by the bristles. The backs of the teeth
are to be brushed in the same way,
while the grinding surfaces must be
cleaned by to and fro as well as a
lateral rubbing. Lukewarm water is
best for the teeth, and some good
dentifrice should be used once a day.

TREAT BRAINS WELL.
just Enough Mental Work and Not
Too Much Should Re the
Rule

Anxiety causes more brain disor-
ders than any other agency, unless
1T be love. have a great respect for
the gray matter of the train, says a
writer in Health. Thee is no so
highly developed tissue in the body
of any animal, or in man, than the
gray matter of the brain. 1t is well
for US to know that the feelings or
emotions cause more unha ppiness and
crime than any other cause. Human
beings are governed by their emo
tons, and it is well that they should
be to certain extent, though it is
the emotions that we 7 away the
brain, and not honest, intellectual
work. Very few people suffer from
intellectual work, and q mathema-
tician rarely needs a doctor for any
nervous disease. 1t is not iptellec-
tual work that causes nervous dys-
pepsia, but anxiety, fear, sorrow and
love. Eight hours day are sufficient
for a man to use his brain; if he ex-
ceeds that time he becomes nervous
and fretful, and an exhausted brain
is an irritable brain. You may not
feel the evil effects of the stress of
brain work ut the time, but you will
sooner or later, when it Is too late.
The men that work at night with
their brains are the ones that eX-
pose themselves to danger, and night
work is dangerous to brain health,
unless the person is strong and takes
the best of care of himself.

TRAINING THE EYE TO SEE.
Unfamiliar Forms often Escape the
Unframed Vision That Are
Plainly in Sight.

That the faculty of sight needs
training will be admitted by every rea-
sonable person, but how best to give
the eye this advantage is a question
which has never been settled, says
Youths Companion. An English hunt
er, the author of book on sport in
Norway, gives some interesting hints
upon the matter:
1.-The reason that the different char
acteristics of tracks are not observed
by the unframed eye is not because
they are so very small as to be invisi-
BILE, but because they are-to that eye
SO inconspicuous as to escape notice
In the same way the townsman will
stare straight at a grouse in the
heather, or a trout poised above the
gravel in the brook, and will not see
them; not because they are too small,
but because he does not know what
they look like in those positions. He
does not know, in fact. what he is
looking for, and magnifying glass
would in nowise help him. To the man
who does not know what to look for.
the lens may be a hindrance, because
it alters the proportions to which his
mind is accustomed. and still more be-
cause its field is too limited.
"My own belief, after seeing good
crackers in more than one country, is
that it is positive disadvantage to be
near the impressions; end for this rea-
son an expert will often do his work
better from horse than on foot.
Undoubtedly the tiny indications
that an animal leaves behind him. such
for instance as stones moved a trifie
so as to expose new soil, are much
more easily seen few yards ahead
than at your feet. On snow again, the
freshly thrown-out particles which the
sun has not yet rounded off are invisi-
BILE under your nose; but look ahead
a hundred yards, and there you will
see without difficulty the very differ
ent character of the track made five
minutes ago and that made an hour
before, although you may not be able
to state exactly in what the difference
consists.
'The fact is, think, that the distant
marks being seen edgewise, or in sec
ton as it were, catch the eye much
more rapidly than the near ones, which
are presented only as family drawn
ground plan.
"ln the same way plovers' eggs in a
fallow are much more conspicuous "a
dozen yards in front of you than at
your feet"

"She's woman of tact" remarked
a woman the other day in describing
woman who has stood at the head of q
successful woman's organization for
some time, states the Philadelphia
Ledger, "and the work she's doing is
work that requires a large amount of
tact
Now, will somebody please tell us
what line of work woman may adopt
that doesn't require tact? Is the WON.
an without tact of any earthly use to
herself or the world in general? Is it
possible for a woman to succeed in any
undertakings unless she is blessed
with a large amount of tact?
When you see woman who has
made failure of anything don't you
usually find that she's woman with
out tact? In the home. in the social
world, in the business world, in any
sphere, there's nothing which stands
the strain of everyday friction like
tact.
If woman is blessed with tact she
can accomplish almost anything she
desires. It's grace which can be culti-
waited, although you'll occasionally
meet a woman who seems so utterly
devoid of tact that it seems absolutely
impossible to teach her the meaning
of the word.
You'll find her always doing and say
ing the wrong things at the wrong
times; you'll find her always doing and
saying the likes and dislikes of her
friends; you'll find her unable to cope
with any unexpected circumstances,
and you'll try to account for the mat
ter by saying: "She always was lack
ing in tact"
But back of all this there's some
thing else. The woman of tact is al
ways a woman who isacap able of for
getting herself, and really when you
look into the matter you'll usually find
selfishness is at the root of a woman's
lack of tact. She thinks of nothing
but herself, and forgets all about
sother people.
