Hints Regarding the Teeth.

Many people are, now using a bit o.
cheese cloth instead of a brush. In the
case of sensitive teeth, this is particular
ly to be recommended.
Neither hot nor very cold water
should ever be used in cleansing the
teeth. The water should always be
lukewarm.
An occasional rubbing of the teeth
with powdered charcoal will make
them beautiful and white. 1t will also
produce a wholesome taste in the
mouth.
An old-fashioned way of keeping the
the teeth white is to rub with leaf OF
green sage. This is said to prevent tar
tar.
An application of powdered pumice
stone may be used every month ortwo.
1t should never be used more frequent
ly than this.
For receding gums a preparation OF
orris root in tincture, lavender water,
cinnamon in tincture, cinchona bark,
also in liquid form, and cologne.
1t is always good to rinse the mouth
with some e~-disinfectant mouth wash
after each meal.

Character and Life.

Life would he easier if we would
grasp the great truth that it is long
education, and that character, victory
organized into moral purpose and habit,
i, its end. Happiness comes by the
way to those whose hearts are set to do
right pleasure lies often in the path;
but the business of life is getting strong.
They only who are strong are fit for
happiness as a permanent and continu-
ing condition, and life is preparation
for happiness rather than time and
place for happiness. Pleasure without
moral vigor and sanity becomes corrup-
ton; and life is Il training which will
make pleasure beautiful companion
and not temptress Leisure is a gold
en- opportunity for those who work and
grow by virtue of inward strength and
self-direction; and life is training for
the blessedness of infinite leisure. Com
pleteness and beauty of companionship
come to those whose hearts are at one
in the pursuit of the noblest things;
and life is an education for eternal
friendships. The bliss of love is for
those only who can lose themselves in
one another; and life is an education in
that unselfishness which, like the white
rose of the Paradise, blooms beyond the
touch of frost or age.

Presidential Partnership.

Mr.. Roosevelt is giving the country
an extraordinary spectacle of partisan
political activity on the part of a Pres
ident. Acting as national boss, he
forced the nomination of Mr. Taft and
is now practically managing his cam
paign. He has assumed leadership in
the fight and is the chief advocate and
defender of the party candidate and his
cause. AS partisan campaign leader
Mr.. Roosevelt will inevitably sacrifice
much of his influence as President, and
as for Mr.. Taft, the poor man is in
danger of descending from the position
of proxy to that of puppet.-Pittsbug G

Jewels as TalismanS.

Jewels were used as ransoms and
moneys in the middle ages-and above
all as talismans, with extraordinary
curative or preventive powers. They
were closely affiliated with the craft of
alchemy and with seriously prescribed
as remedies for the plague, eye trouble,
nerve weakness and nearly all other
ills. Agate was believed to have the
power of eounteracting poisons, amber
was supposed to cure sore throat and
ague, bloodstone stopped the bleeding
from wounds and diamond was an
infallible restorer of strength and cour-
age.
The garnet lowered the highest and
most dangerous fever, the moonstone
cured epilepsy, the ruby was disin-
fectant, the sapphire healed insanity,
the topaz stopped the pain of burns,
the tourmaline stopped the toothache,
the turquoise prevented bruises-and
