BEAUTIFUL TEETH.
Wise Brothers are Adding Another Charm
to Woman.

Wise Brothers are Adding Another Charm
to Woman.
1t is getting to be distinctly the fash
ionable thing to have a fine set of
teeth.
This is one of the mcst effective rea-
sons why modern dentistry has made
such big step in advance.
The mother who nowadays refuses
to have her daughters teeth attended
to is regarded as having little love for
her child. No longer is there fear of
pain, for tooth-filling, and tooth
pulling, is attended by no pain what
ever. The most comfortable and lux
urious apartments are provided by the
leading dentists, and the prices are ex-
ceedingly low.
Wise Brothers, the famous dental
firm in the Failing BuilGing, Portland,
Ore, have done more than anyone else
in the Northwest to bring about this
condition of affairs. It is as correct a
thing for ladies and gentlemen to be
as careful to have nice, white set of
presentable teeth, as it is for them to
keep their hands clean. Physicians
and all rp-to-date people welcome
these facts, for they indicate that hu.
manity is making long stride ahead.
Instead of caring for the teeth being a
bugbear, it is greatly matter of COM
fort and pleasure. After the teeth are
put in perfect order once it is slight
duty easily watched to keep them so.
Go to the dentist regularly at least
once in six months and you are all right.
And, for the sake of yourself and
your friends, don't neglect your teeth
day longer. The next time you visit
Portland step in at Wise Brothers and
see for yourse how simple and inex-
pensive it is to b we good, beautiful
set of teeth again.

Live Woman Farmer.

Mrs. Nellie e. Lakin, of Boscawen,
N. H. is said during the last year to
have carried over $500 worth of farm
produce to the stores of Boscawen and
Penacock, $4oO worth of which she
raised On her own farm, doing the
work almost wholly herself Last sum-
mer she loaded and slowed away forty
loads Of hay. She raised 100 bushels
Of corn, cutting most Of 1T up and
husking all of it; also raised eighty
five bushels Of potatoes, digging most
Of them herself and putting them into
the cellar. Last fall she picked 300
bushels Of apples. She did all the
work in her garden, and had four cart
loads Of vegeta ables. She drove to Pen
acoek once week, missing but four
weeks during the year, and all through
last spring and since last September
she has driven to Franklin twice q
week to carry her 16-year-old son
George to the Franklin High School
In addition to all this work, she has
performed the household duties in a
family Of five, continues the Weman's
Home Journal. When New Hampshire
women can do farming in this ener-
getic way, 1t Is no wonder that in 103
oranges Of that State majority of the
members have recorded themselves in
favor Of female suffrage. Yet the op-
ponents of equal rights for women will
no doubt assure the public that the
New Hampshire woman would be
crushed under the burden of a ballot.

CONVERSATION AS A FINE ART.
Lessons in Talking Should Become

Lessons in Talking Should Become
Part of Our Education.
Before these days Of delighfully
written and widely distributed descrip-
tions Of passing events, conversation
was regarded as an artistic accom-
! plishment, and valued a great deal
more highly than it Is at present" F."
said a matron in the New York Trib-
une. "We hear SO many curious facts.
we see so much more Of the world
than our coach-traveling ancestors,
that the spirit Of astonishment is less
easily conjured than Of old, when the
sciences had destroyed fewer of our
Illusions and mankind was less analyt-
ical. Crispness, conciseness and hui
NOR are the Indispensable ingredients
Of the dish offered to the jaded men,
tai appetites Of the old and young
Of to-day. Lessons in the art of con-
versation should be considered quite
I as necessary to a girl whose mind is
expanding in the dollhouse Of her lit
tie school world as instruction in the
sciences or modern languages. The
chief difficulty, apart from the girl her.
self, would be to find teacher COM
petent to make the study beth profit
able and interesting. But The cause
Is we'll worth a struggle, and the only
thing is steady, serious, daily culti-
walton. Some people are born with a
turn for conversation; it comes by ma
ture to them to make the apt repar-
tee, the sympathetic phrase, when oc.
casion calls for it; others have the airy
manners, the speaking glance from
liquid eyes, the reserve thawing, con-
tagious laugh. These are gifts Of the
favored few; but we are all endowed
with the faculty of intel1igfble speech,
and it behoeves US to regard the max
ing the utmost of it-not as a mere
frivolity, but as duty to our social
neighbors."
