but 10 help us preserve the beauty and

1t is most important that the teeth
be brushed thoroughly at night, for il
is then. when the tongue is in rcpose,
HAT the acid of the saliva gets in its

magncsia should be used after brush
ing the teeth ut night, as it helps t.

the acids that form in the mouth dur

In some cases tartar accumulatcs so
rapidly that it must he removed every
six months. for neglected tartar brings
a whole train of evils in its wake. 1t

around the teeth near the gums it goes
on extending down around the roots

Laughter as a stomach Cure and an

Worry is but one Of The many forms

is thus established a vicious circle
which tends to perpetuate itself, each

wholesome atmosphere for the dys-

and where funny stories are told. He
should himself make great effort to
contribute his share of this ut the table,
even if it he necessary. as il was in one
ease under my care, for him TO solemn

graphs from the press, and at first in
terjcct them systematically during lulls
in the conversation at the table. The
very efforts and determination of the
man to correct his own silent habits ut

couragement and worry. We're in them
selves a promise of success. The eff

Giles 10 he overcome. He succeeded, and
the spectacle Of that man trying to
be funny nj table when he felt thor
oughly discouraged and blue is one we
shall never forget.
Laughing is in itself also useful

MAKING THE TUMBLER MOVE.

of it to make a thin coating of mois-
ture. Place the tumbler, rim down,
on the end of the table where the
wedges are, and it will not move, for
the incline, if YOU have not made the
wedges too thick, will not be great
enough to make the tumblcr move by
gravity.
But you are going to make the tum-
bier move of itself so that it will seem
to do so by some magical power. To
do this light the piece of candle and
hold it near the tumbler for a few
moments. The heat from the candle
will cause the air in the tumbler to eX
pand, and this expansion will have the
effect of raising the tumbler just lit
tie from the smooth marble. The air
cannot escape. however. because the
water around the rim of the tumbler
keeps it in.
Then the tumbler will begin to move
slowly along the marble top, for the
slight elevation that the expanded air
has given it makes it now rest on a
thin layer of moisture and it glides
down the incline by the force of gray

THE WOODCOCK.
Where Does 1t Hide During the Molt-
ing Seasons.

1t is during the months of August
and September that the mystery Of
the woodcock's life begins. This is
the melting season, when the bird
changes its plumage before beginning
IT'S journey southwark. At this time ii
leaves the swamps. Where does il
go? That is a question which has nev-
er yet received a satisfactory answer,
although each sportsman and natural
list has his own opinion. and many fine
spun theories have been advanced.
Some say that the birds move toward
the north. some thai they seek tho
mountain tops. comin- into the swamps
TO feed only after nightfall; some that
they seek the cornitldS. and there
have been many other such theories.
Probably the truth lies in mean of
all these statements. think it prob
able that the birds know the loss of
their feathers renders them to Ger.
tain extent helpless and more exposed
to the attacks of their natural enemies,
and they therefore leave Tie more open
swampS and hide in the densest and
most tangled thickcts 1t is certain
that they scatter, for ut this season
single birds are found in the most ia
usual and unexpected places.
Years ago when shooting in Dutch
css county y. Y. knew one or two
swamps. which we call noting
swamps where in august we were
sure to find limited number of birds.
These sWampS were overerown With
rank marsh grass and We're full Of
patches OF wild rose and sweethricr.
If we killed the birds which we found
there, we were sure in 4 week OF ten
days to find their places filed by about
the same manufacturing.

Many boys and girls cannot under
stand how it could have been so cold
on this continent at one time that it
was covered with ice. at least down to
the fortieth degree of latitude. They
reason about this way-that the sur
face of the earth was always exposed
to the suns heat exactly as it is now,
and, if that be so, why was this part of
the continent once as cold as the arctic
regions. whereas now it is temperate?
The explanation given by biologists
is very simple. The northern part of
our continent had at that time an ele
walton several thousan nd feet greater
than it has now so that. like the top
of Il high mountain, it extended above
the snow line into the region of per-
petual ice 1t was, in fact, an immense
glacier. holding the land in its cold
grasp.
This was long before man came on
the earth and is known as the glacial
period, which lasted for abOu' 10000
years. AS the ages passed the glacier
moved toward the south very slowly
indeed. but melting as it moved, until
after awhile it melted entirely away,
leaving the continent as it now is, a
temperate region. because its elevation
is 50 much reduced below the snow line.
