AFRICAN NEGROES.
Thsss vnsehoeled Natives Take Special
Care Of Their 1eeth.

Care Of Their Teeth.
The whiteness and beauty of thu
teeth Of the African negroes have
through mistaken idea, been gen
orally ascribed to the food which
they eat and to favorable climatic
conditions. But according to a Ger
man medical journal, the Muen'
chener Medizinische Wochenschrift
these unschooled natives take spe.
cial care of the teeth and are ia.
miliar with many remedies for the
treatment of dental diseases.
From the observations of officials
il German colonies it appears that
the natives exercise more care in
preserving the teeth than do most
Europeans. They may owe the pos
session of sound teeth of ivory
whiteness partly to- the influence OF
environment and habits, but in ad-
dition they employ many herbs,
barks and juices as prophylactic and
curative agents.
Thus in Negombo it is customary
when a child has finished teethine
to rinse the mouth with an infusion
of tie leaves Of a native tree with
the object of Tightening the teeth.
The action of the infusion is prob
ably due to the presence of q styptic
constituent in the leaves which
causes the gums to shrink. The ma
tives living near the source of the
Nile employ the roots of a legumi-
nous plant, Dalbergia melanoxylon,
to relieve toothache, while the ma
tives to the west of the source of
the same river use an infusion of
the seeds of kasso, a climbing vine,
Tor the same purpose.
It is interesting to notice that the
use of the toothbrush is not re-
stricted to the so called civilized
peoples. The African negroes fash
ion toothbrushes out of the wood
of species of adansonia and other
trees. In this respect the natives
probably have an advantage over
those who use an ordinary bristle
toothbrush, which is frequently
used for six months or even longer,
indeed until it becomes too offensive
to be tolerated longer. The sticks
of wood such as the natives employ
are, on the other hand, easy to
make and cost nothing, and they
are probably used for only q short
time. And they possess the addi-
tional advantage Of offering less OPP
portunity for particles of food and
other debris to be retained mechan-
ically, than is the case with a bris-
tie brush.

.FEIaHING DEATH.
A Trick Rssortsd to BY Animals &c
Shun Ihsir Enemies.

4
shun Their Enemies. s.
The fcighing of death by certain
animals for the purpose Of deceiv.
ing their enemies and thus secur.
ing immunity is one Of the greatest
of the many evidences Of their in.
.telligent ratiocination. This simu.
lation is not confined to any partic-
ular family, order or species Of ami
NAL, but exists in many, from the
very lowest to the highest. It is
! found even in the vegetable king
dom, the we'll known sensitive plant
being an interesting example. The
action of shis plant is purely reflex,
as can be proved by observation and
experiment, and is not therefore q
process of intelligence.
An experimenter, writing in Wis
: sen fur ALE, says that he has seen
the feigning of death in some Of
the lowest animals known to sci
ence. Some time ago while exam
ming the inhabitants of 4 drop of
pond water under a high power
lens he noticed several rhizopods
bnsily feeding on the minute buds
of an algo. These rhizopods sud
. denly drew in their hairlike filaria
and sank to the bottom, to all ap-
pearances dead. The cause was
found to be the presence of a water
louise, an animal which feeds on
these animalculae. 1t likewise sank
to the bottom and after looking at
the rhizopods swan away, evident
ly regarding them as dead and unfit
for food.
This was not an accidental occur
renee, for the observer has seen
the same wonderful performance
twice since. Through the agency of
what sense, he asks, did these little
creatures discover the approach of
their enemy? Is it possible that
they and other microscopic animals
have eyes and ears so exceedingly
small that lenses of the very highest
power cannot make them visible, or
are they possessors of senses utterly
unknown to and incapable of being
appreciated by man? Science can
neither affirm nor deny either of
these suggestions.
Most animals are slain for food
by other animals. Most of the car
nivora and insectivora prefer fresh
ly killed food to carrion. They will
not touch tainted meat when they
can procure fresh; hence when they
come upon their prey apparently
dead they will leave it alone and 60
in search of other quarry unless
they are very hungry. Tainted
substances are dangerous to get into
the stomach. Certain ptomaines
render il sometimes, very poison
Gus. Lon" years of experience have
taught this fact to animals, and
therefore most Of them let dead or
seemingly dead creatures alone.

A Child. Dictionary.

The late Frederic r. Coudert,
the noted lawyer and wit, had a
great fondness for children. He
collected indefatigably the quaint
sayings of children, and one Of the
treasures of his library was a small
manuscript volume called "a Child's
Dictionary" and these are some of
the definitions that Mr.. Coudert
would read from it:
Dust-Mud with the juice squeezed
out of it. !.
Snoring-Letting off sleep.
Apples-The bubbles that apple
trees blow.
Backbiter-A mosquito. =.
Fan-A thing to brush the warm
of with.
Ice-Water that went to sleep in
the cold.-Boston Herald.

Ths Important Functions o. This Wa.

The perspiration is a watery Sc
, erection of certain curiously coiled
/ glands in the skin. 1t used to he
thought that it served useful pur-
pose in removing waste matters
from the system, and there is no
doubt that it does SO in measure,
but it cannot compare in this re-
epect with the secretion of the kid
neys. Indeed it is ninety-eight and
eight-tenths parts water, and the
solid part is chiefly chloride of So
dunn, which gives it the well known
: salty taste. Its function is to mois-
ten the superficial layer of cells in
the skin and SO facilitate their re-
moval. But its chief use is believ-
ed to be to regulate the tempera-
ture of the body and prevent, by
evaporation, excessive and danger
Gus heat.
The quantity secreted depends
much upon the temperature of the
air, exercise and the amount of fluid
drunk. But it averages between
thirty and forty ounces a day.
It varies in inverse proportion to
the secretion of the kidneys. The
secretion is constant summer and
winter, day and night, but ordinari-
ly evaporation keeps pace with it,
and it does not appear as moisture
on the skin. This. is called the iu-
sensible perspiration, while that
visible as water is called the sensi-
bic perspiration.
It is decreased in amount in GER
tain diseases, such as diabetes, in
which the kidney secretion is enor-
mously increased, and in ichthyosis,
a dry, scaly disease of the skin.
Increased perspiration may be
purely nervous in Origin, as seen in
the beads on the forehead of one
who is embarrassed, or the cold
sweat Of fear or some other power
full emotion.> In some cases the in
creased perspIation is localized in
the hands and feet. If this is an
expression of general weakness, ton
les and good food may correct the
condition, but usually local treat
ment is called for. Immersing the
palms Of the hands or the soies Of
the feet in water as bot as it can be
borne for about five minutes and
then, after drying, busting them
with very finely powdered boric
acid is often of great service.
The moist hand may be kept dry
by frequent application to the
palms Of saturated solution of
boric acid in cologne water.
The perspiration that occurs at
night in consumption and other dis
eases, accompanied with hectic fe-
yer, is often very distressing. The
quantity of water exuded is some
times enormous, soaking not only
night clothes, but the entire bedding
and mattress. If the patients con-
dition will permit, a hot bath of
four or five minutes duration at
bedtime will sometimes prevent or
lessen night sweats. If this is not
permissible, sponging with hot vine7
gar and water may be tried. A glass
of milk and half dozen crackers
taken at midnight will also OCCASION
ally be found useful. - Youths

a few months ago that Mayor Silver
son Of New Ulm was to be welded
to an estimable lady who taught
school in New Ulm a year ago, The
GAZETTE ventured to predict that
the doughty MAYOR would have the
lid put on him, and in fulfillment OF
the prophecy, the announcement OF
his wedding in st. Paul last Tuesday
was accompanied with the statement
that Mayor Siiverson had resigned
an laid aside his crown as mayor OF
New Ulm. The mayors reforma-

Takes Homestead at 70.

Under the above heading, a Ry der,
N. D., correspondent of the Even
ing Journal writes as follows con
corning 0. B. Turrell, who returned
to this city on Tuesday of last week:
O. B. Turrell has completed his
eight months residence on his home
stead one mile south of Ryder and
expects to leave this week for his
old home at Redwood Falls, Mimi,
to spend the winter. AS is his GUS
tom, he will return here next spring
to spend the summer. While these
summer visits are compulsory-to
escape hay fever-he nevertheless
enjoys himself and is always well
coined by a large number of friends.
Mr.. Turrell is 70 years old, but is
very vigorous for his age. During
his stay on his homestead he has
walked to town for his mail nearly
every week day.
Mr.. Turrell has had much to do
with the development of Minnesota
during the early days. He was en-
gagged in the banking business at St.
Paul and Redwood Falls for many
years, and was member of the
Minnesota legislature for four terms.
He has also been county commits
sioner of Redwood county, and at
one time owned large tract of land
in that county.
