CARE OF THE TEETH.
70 Preserve and Beauty Them
Should Be the Aim of Every
Man, Woman and Child.

Everybody admires 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
z drs. of precipitated chalk, one-half
dr.. of powdered camphor and Or. OF
powdered orris root.
1t il not sufficient to use only tooth
powder; a liquid dentifrice is pleas
ant and has beneficial influence upon
the gums. To make one, take 2 ozs. OF
borax, a quart of hot water and one
teaspoonful 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 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, 1t is said, are usually
indica tive of bodily vigor, and very
pearly white ones of 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 we'll 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 I
o., of powdered borax one-half o.,
of powdered myrrh one-fourth o.,
and the same quantity of powdered
orris root.-N. Y. journal.

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-
tons of cubic foot and is used for
test purposes only. The figures on
the right-hand dial represent hum
dreds of cubic feet and when the
hand has made one complete revolu-
ton 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-
ton of the hands at a previous read
ing of the meter, namely $500 cubic
feet. The hands now indicate 6,4O0
cubic feet. Minus $500 cubic feet
would give 1900 cubic feet as the
amount of gas consumed during the
quarter; at $3.50 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
Sc on. If, after deducting as shown
above, you find you have used $3.50
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,

comparative health.
She was summoned home by tho
illness of two younger children.
Lieut.. Hanning came, placed a United
States soldier on the place, and rem
dered every aid and protection in his
power. At last there came morn
ing when he brought Capt. Green
and a soldier named George with
him, and said he had come to say
"Good by" He had resigned and
was going back north. Deeply, deep
ly did we regret his departure. He
talked with mother and my brothers,
Robbie and Willie; talked to Capt.
Green and to George; but I stood
apart, for I realized that our kind
friend was going away. At last he
gave mother his address, wrote it on
a piece of yellow envelope, babe her
good BY, shook hands with the boys,
then crossing the gallery to where l
stood, and STOPPING down, he brought
his brave, handsome young face on a
level with mine and asked: "Will you
kiss a Yankee?" For answer l kissed
him heartily. This brought storm

That was the last visit Lieut.. Han

wrote to him. I received kind let

my writing and promised to write

But the dogs had been sent out OF
the neighborhood two days before.
He could do nothing that way, but
told Mrs. Lennon if she would point
out the murderer he would avenge
her husband. But standing there,
covered from head to foot with her
loved husbands blood, she yet feared
her suspicious might cause an inno-
cent mans death. She could not do
it-and of the collected crowd only
the murdered mans nine-year-old
son, "Robbie" Lennon, dared to cry
aloud the name of the party whom
circumstances and his own heart told
him had made him an orphan. Lieut..
Hanning said he "had seen hundreds
a different thing" What else was
said or done by him on that terrible
18th of July, 1868, the writer cannot
state, as it was now announced that,
the inquest ended, they were bring
ing the remains home and, overcome
with horror of seeing them so dis
figured, she fled shrieking to the
home of ali humble Irish neighbor.
l still thank my God that I was
spared that sight so terrible to my
brothers. Next day, when Lieut..
Hanning came to attend the funeral,
l met him, and taking his hand, led
and pointed to the covered remain2
of the loved father, for 1 could noe
speak. After the funeral Lieut.. Han
ming strove to aid and protect the
widow and her orphan children.
Great was her need. Port Hudson
had fallen on the Sth and the confed-
crate officers had been taken to the
United States prison in New Orleans.
Word soon came that Lieut.. Lem

Lieut.. Hanning came to the mother,

MRS. CLARENCE MACKAY.
New York Society Leader VINO -
Called the Most E1travaganS
Woman in America.

Mrs. Clarence Mackay, the dashing
leader of New York society, with q
fortune of almost $4o,OOO,00o 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-
penoitures for jewelry, which is her
pet fad. With an assured Christmas
present every year of $4,000 for pin
money and regular allowances on an
equally liberal basis, she is easily in
position to lead the Younger set OF
women in New York in the matter or
extravaganza.
Mrs. Mackay leans perceptibly to-
ward fads, and one of her latest

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
urious Pompeiian bath let down in
the marble floor in the same way.
1t was Mrs. Mackay's own idea that
each of her 80 servants should have
a separate room. The rooms are
small, but are sunshiny and comfort
able.
Although spending fabulous sums
every year upon gowns and the graf
ification of literary whims regarding
fads, Mrs. Mackay is by no means
neglectful of the more serious prob
lens Of life, says the Chicago Trlb-
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.
Macllay is 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 a veil covered with heavy lace
flounces that completely hides her
features like 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 Hindu curio, which
cost $4,000. It covers three fingers
and is of old yellow Chinese gold set
with rare rubies, diam onds and en-
eralds. Among her furs is 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 lavishness. 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. It is all in violet, and, be-
cause she thinks red two-cent
stamp is inharmonious on violet en-
velope, she uses the three-cent stamp
instead.

A YANKEE LIEUTENANT.
The Excellent Service Rendered q
Confederate Family by North
ern Soldier.

In the spring or early summer OF
1863 party of federal scouts, COM
manded by Lieut.. John D. Hannlng,
company G, Second Rhode Island cav
airy, reached Lake Clause plantation,
West Baton Rouge parish, La, and
surprised it's owner, Mr. w. w. Lem
mon, my father. They took all the
guns, but after long interview with
Mr. Lennon, in which the prisoner
must have promised to go with them
later, they departed, leaving him at
home. After that Lieut.. Hanning
came out often, always accompanied
by two or more soldiers. Father
made no attempt to avoid them, but
met them with hospitality. Mother
played Dixie" and other tunes for
them, writes Minnie j. Lennon
Smith, in the National Tribune.
Lieut.. Hanning was stationed on
this (west) side of the river to assist
in the siege of Port Hudson. Mr..
Lemons only grown son, Lieut..
George G. Lennon, was among those
who held Port Hudson against the
union troops; yet, between the Yam
kee officer and the southern planter
friendship, strong and true, grew
apace. How rightly Mr.. Lennon read
the character Of the noble young
northern lieutenant subsequent
events soon proved.
Lieut.. Hanning's party came one
evening and father went with them.
Next day the lieutenant returned for
change of raiment for father, stat
ing that he was going to Baton
Rouge. Three days later Mr.. Lem
mon returned and stated that he had
taken the oath of allegiance to the
United States government. Very
soon after this Mr.. Lennon was
murdered-shot in the back of the
head, with buckshot, in a road that
passed through his Lake Clause plan
tation to Egypt plantation, back
of Lake Clause. His grief
stricken wife, with her two lit
tie boys and young servant, found
the body. In her anguish she drove
to the nearest United States troops
for aid, protection and vengeance.
Lieut.. Hanning came with so United
States soldiers and demanded that
trailing dogs be given him, and said
without the aid of a single citizen he
would, with his soldiers, trace the
murderer and avenge the murder.

READING GAS METERS.
Careful Houselkeepers Should Keep
an Eye on Gas Bills to Prevent
OvercharSlnE.

The gas and water accounts, which
form so large a part of the years
expenses, should be as closely scru-
tinted by the careful housekeeper as
are the grocery and provision bills,
and care should be taken to see that
no overcharge is made. To do this,
the principles on which the meters
are operated should first be learned.
The accompanying figure represents

Recipe for a Hair Wash.

A useful hair wash, especially for
those people who easily catch cold,
is made by taking five cents worth
of camphor and borax (both should
be powdered), and pouring over them
pint of boiling water. Let this stand
till cold and then bottle. When wash
ing the hair add tablespoonful of
this to the warm water.

CIVIL WAR RELICS.
Mementoes of the Great Struggle BE.
tween North and South That
Have Bloody HixtOries.

In a glass case, midway DeI"eeu
the north door and the center court
of the National museum, may be seen
an old time shotgun and an old-time
musket. They rest in a rack, close
together, the musket above the shot
gun, says the Washington Star. The
barrels of the weapons parallel each
other and are relatively in the same
position as they were 40 years ago
when the tragedy which gives inter-
est to the relics happened. The shot
gun points to the north and the mus
ket to the south. 1t was with the
shotgun that Col. E. E. Ellsworth.
of Ellsworth zouaves, was killed by
James p. Jackson, at the Marshall
house, Alexandria, Va, May "a, 1861.
It was with the musket, fired by one
of Ellsworth's men that Jackson was
killed. Close by the guns is curious
little watch chain woven of the lam
yard of the confederate flag that
floated over the Marshall house. In
this collection is EllswOrth's cap or
nament, and near this is a scarfpin
that was his.
In the same case with the relics
mentioned is the sword of Gen. Lyons,
who was killed in the battle of Will
sons Creek. The story of this old
blade is that it was taken from Lyons
body by confederate soldier, who
carried it from the time of the fight
at Wilson'S Creek, June 10, 1861, till
well toward the close Of the civil war.
On exhibition with the weapons are
several flags. One was the garrison
flag of Fort Moultrie, Charleston har.
Dor, which was hauled down Deem.
Der 26, 1860, by Maj. Robert Anderson,
First United States artillery, when
the command was about to remove to
Fort Sumter. Another is the first
flag raised in Richmond after the sur
render of that city to the union
troops. It was the headquarters flag
of Gen. Ord. Another is a union en-
sign, the first that was raised in New
Orleans after the capture of that
city by the United States forces. Sus-
pended in the case is tattered silk
en- flag, beneath which three color
sergeants were killed in the battle
of Salem Heights, May and 4, 1868.
1t is a gift to the museum from
Gen. William Henry Browne, the fed
eral commander in that engagement.
Opposite the Salem Heights flag il
signal flag which belonged to the
United States ship Huron, which foun-
dered off the North Carolina coast
in 1877, when 80 men were lost.

Use of Linen in Rotation.

Careful housewives see that their
pieces of linen are used in rotation,
for if one be on the table oftener
than another it is pretty sure to
wear out long before the rest of the
