THE BREATH.
There is Absolutely No Reason For 1t to Be
Other Than OdOPleSS.

I The mouth is often the place of ORR
gin of the odor. Decayed teeth, or
the decomposition of food particles
allowed to remain between the teeth,
or %receding gums with suppuration
round the edges Of the teeth may
or all affect the breath unpleas-
antly. The regular use of the tooth
brush with an antiseptic mouth wash
will usually remedy this.
There may be an accumulation of
fur" at the back of the mouth,
which gives an odor to the breath;
this should be removed with a spoon
or the ring in one of the handles of a
pair Of scissors.
The tonsils may have malodorous
accumulations of secretion in their
pits.
Trouble in any part of the digestive
tract is very likely to declare itself in
the breath. Constipation, especially,
is SO betrayed.
1t is we'll known that some foods,
onions, for example, will scent the
breath, but it is not so generally ap-
preciated that the eating of a large
amount of meat will often give a
peculiarly disagreeable quality to the
breath. The emotions may have
their effect, too, and the ill-tempered
person or the worrier is thus an Of
fense in more ways than one.
There is seldom any excuse for
permanent bad breath, for the ply
stefan can almost always discover and
remove the cause.-Youth's Compan-
| ion.

! Being Mud" Clerk.
q

The term mud" clerk applied to
the second clerk on the Mississippi
steamboats,. This title came from the
physical condition of the poor fellow,
one of whose duties it was to go out
in all weathers upon the unpaVed
levees to deliver or receive freight.
When it rained, the epithet became
particularly appropriate. The mud
clerk had many things to do. says G.
B. Merrick, in a book entitled "Old
Times on the Upper Mississippi"
eft was believed on the river that
more people die between midnight
and morning than during any other
six hours in the t~wenty-four. I think
I have heard physicians confirm this.
My own experience in going on watch
at midnight continuously during six
months is that there is less vitality
and ambition available in that period
than in any other. In fact, I have
no distinct recollection that there
was any ambition at all mixed up in
the process of writing delivery books,
checking out freight, measuring
wood and performing the hundred
other duties that fell to the lot Of the
officer on watch, when done in the
/. depressing atmosphere Of early morn
ing. 1t was a matter of duty, I'M
mixed with higher motives.
"It was not only the turning out at
unholy hours that differentiated the
first clerk from the second. The sec
ond clerk must have lis delivery
book written up for all the landings
to be made during his of watch The
chief clerk then made the delivery
from the book, upon which the re-
ceipts were taken. If, during the
second clerks off watch, there was a
particularly large manifest for any
landing, the assistant was called to
attend to the delivery, after which
he could turn in again, if he chose.
OF course it took a river man to go to
sleep after touching his bunk, but
his rest was broken, and in the course
of the season this began to tell on
every one. Under the stress OF II
men became hollow-eyed and lost
flesh and strength. !
"The second clerk had many other
duties. He collected fares from pas.
sengers coming aboard during' his
watch, assigned rooms, provided there
were any4to assign, or a mattress on
the cabin floor If there CHANGED to be
any space left there; collected freight
bills, paid for wood and coal, and
performed any other duties that
came to his lot at the time. 1t was
not considered good form to call the
chief clerk during his off watch; in
fact, to do Sc would be a confession
Of ignorance" (.

by the girl who embroiders only lit
tie is of gray. tan or dull blue home
spun linen embroidered with a con-
ventional design of crossed pipes on
one side Of the pouch and with the
monogram Of the owner on the other
side
Cut the linen in two pieces. with
narrowing to neck and widening
again above it. Stitch the two sides
together to the neck. where there is
a casing. and leave the upper part or
ruffle open at each side.
Line the bag with oiled silk If you
can find it in a color that looks well
with the pouch: if not. with a heavy
waterproof silk.
Embroider the pipes in Kensington
stitch in dark brown flo, using a
lighter tone of brown in center of
bowl for high lights. The mouthpiece
and rim of the pipes can be worked in
gold thread or. if you fear that may
tarnish. in an old gold flo.
The monogram on the other side Of
the pouch car be done In the same
shades as the saipes. The letters should
be heavily pad-led and worked in satin
stitch.
A cord should be used as a draw
string rather than a ribbon. which is,
too feminine for such bag. If a
cord cannot be bought in the right
colors one can be twisted by using
several shades of brown and dull cop
