cHILD's FIRST TEETH.
Of Utmost Importance That They Are Carefully Looked After-Dentist's
 Aid Is Often Required.

Letting baby suck and chew on a stale crust or stale piece of corn pone will do great deal to assist in bring ing the teeth through; and the teeth that have arrived will also be benefited by this very simple means. Tn stale bread all of the gas which might ere ate disturbance in the little stomach has evaporated, the starch granules have ripened and burst, and the bread itself is in the best condition to be di- gested and absorbed into the system.
 Just little lime water in the milk will often aid in establishing good teeth, and where the little princess first teeth have not been especially good, either as to color, shape or ar rangement, the matter can readily be corrected by careful attention, first to the cleanliness of the mouth and teeth, and next by diet.
 Upon the care of the first teeth will depend the quality and the beauty of the second or permanent set. Only too often do even the wisest of mothers imagine that the first teeth do not re- quire dentists care, arguing that as they are but temporary it were money thrown away to see to their filling and the like.
 If the first set be in any way irregu- lar or faulty the defect must be cor rected immediately, for "as the twig is bent, so is the tree inclined;" and as the first teeth are faulty or perfect so will the teeth that the little beauty carry with her through life be af- fected
 The habit of letting the baby suck its thumb or it's fist is fruitful source of irregularities of the gums and teeth. It Is bad enough when only the thumb is constantly sucked; but when the whole of the little fist is thrust into the tiny mouth the gums are drawn out of shape and the teeth grow out ward in painfully projecting fashion.
 The use of those so-called pacifiers, too, is another source of dental trou- bles, and this scribe would joyfully see their manufacture and sale pro-. hibited by act of legislature. They are seldom or never properly cleansed, the rubber of which they are made is DOT ous and absorbs all sorts of germs and bacteria, and their use is almost invar- iably attended by sore mouth, bad breath and digestive and intestinal troubles.
 When the little girl has reached, say, two years old, she may be taught to use her little toothbrush herself under due supervision, of course. Small brushes now come especially for the little folk, the edges of the bristles carefully serrated so that they pene- trate into the interstices between the, teeth and remove every particle Of detritus that may lodge there.
 Little miladi must be taught to use her small brush after each meal, before going to bed at night and the first thing on rising in the morning. She must learn to rinse the mouth thor ougnly and often, and she must be taught to gargle. too, for the faucial ;tonsils are often traps for the catching and holding of unmasticated particles of food, and this gives rise to an un- pleasant odor on the breath
