How to Clean Them and Prevent
Receding of the Gums.
1t seems q 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 right way and q wreng
way of doing everything, and it is safe
to say that more persons 60 about
cleaning the teeth in the wrong way
than In the right Not only is the way
In which this is usually done inef-
fectual, but 1t may even be injurious
to the teeth and to the gums.
The gums play a most important
part in keeping the teeth firmly in
place, and every care should be taken
to prevent them from receding, 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 bristles should
not be too close together. The surface
Of the brush should be serrated, or un-
even, with longer and shorter bristies,
10 that the projecting ridges may pene-
trate between the teeth. 1t is better
to have the brush slightly concave, to
At the arch Of the teeth, but in that
case one must have a second one for
brushing the backs of the teeth.
NVhn tooth ohould oaynr ho oovwhhn1
by moving the brush from side to side
across them, as most persons do, for
It Is that that pushes the gums hack
and tears them. This motion, especial
" when the brush is a stiff one and q
gritty powder is used, may also injure
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
win not only scrape the surface, but
sweep between them. This motion
will coax the edge of the gum over the
neck Of the teeth instead Of pushing 1t
away, and as the movements in this
direction can be neither so rapid nor
30 forcible as when they are from side
to side the gums are less liable to be
lacerated 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 lateral rubbing. Lukewarm
water is best for the teeth, and sene
good dentifrice should be used once q.
day. x--r.

CENSUS OF QUEENSLAND.
Shows That Community to Have the
 Race Problem to Solve.

Queensland was the smartest of the commonwealth states in getting the results of the census into print. Its total population is now 3,266, not including 1,227 serving the en- pire in South Africa, most of whom are expected to ''return for perma- nent residence" For the first time an effort was made to ascertain the number of the blacks. Six thousand six hundred and seventy of them in eluding 1,533 half-castes, were re- turned as following settled occupa- tlons, attending schools, or having abandoned migratory habits. Ac- cording to the reports of the protec- tors of aborigines, some 10000 more prefer the old natural life of roaming, hunting and fishing as far away from the white invaders as they can get. At the last census there were only 49 Japanese in Queensland; now there are 2,260. During the decen- nial period the Chinese decreased by 739, and the Kanakas by 1O1. The latter now number 9,327, and if the present commonwealth government succeeds in placing it's ''white Aus tralia'' policy on the statute book, there will be few, if any, of them-to be recorded in the next Queensland census.-London Chronicle.

IMMUNE FROM TYPHOID.
Arabs Are Practically Free from This
 Disease.

Some Frenchman or other read a paper before the Paris Society of Bl- ology recently which makes the state ment that Arabs are practically inn mune from typhoid fever. That is to say, an Arab can bear any kind of exposure to typhoid fever without taking it. They account for this pe- culiar bodily condition of the Arab, says Medical Talk, from the fact that ever since his early infancy he has been reared on impure drinking water, which, in the countries where the Arabs abound, is notably bad. It is saturated with all sorts of con- tamination.
 This had the effect of wedding out the weaker ones and leaving only those who can stand typhoid fever germs. The grown Arab, therefore, is able to bear exposure that would give European typhoid fever at once. This, however, is not intend ed as any argument for the use of impure drinking water. It only shows that the human system is capa- ble of adjusting itself to unfayorable conditions.
 But, while the Arab is immune from typhoid fever, he is especially susceptible to consumption. This fact is accounted for by the reason that he has been accustomed to the very pure air of the mountains, and when exposed to the climate of Europe he quickly succumbs to con- sumption. He can stand our drink ing water, but he cannot stand our climate.
 The whole subject of national sus- ceptibility and unsusceptibility to disease is a very interesting one. It may be after all that our climate, which is so peculiarly provocative of catarrh, will at last produce a race of people that will be practically 1m- mune from catarrh. We hope so, at least. At present it is a national disease, and nearly every one has it.
 The very best authorities on chron- ic catarrh state that there is such thing as immunity from this disease. The cold bath every morning, gar gling the throat with cold water, splashing the neck and chest with cold water-if this is practiced thor oughly every morning, it will prac- tically render any one immune from catarrh.
 Padding the feet every evening in cold water might also be added to this regime. This practically hard ems the nervous system against the vicissitudes of the weather, and will soon produce a condition of the sys- tenn in which the subject need have l no fear of catarrh
