Dancer of Poor Teeth.

Just what effect on the stomach is
produced by the constant swallowing
bacteria and pus from diseased teeth.
mingled with decomposing particles OF
food, we are unable TO determine. but
it is reasonable to suppose that gastric
disturbances are greatly aggravated ii
not induced by so doing. In every
community there are those who are
enthusiasts on the subject of pure air
and wholesome food but whose
mouths are in such neglected condi-
ton that the air which passes
through them is almost as polluted as
that of crowded tenement. and every
mouthful of food swallowed carries
with it to the stomach millions of bac-
terra. The almost entire futility OF
sterilizing articles of diet for patients
in whose mouth chronic assesses ex-
list or whose teeth are covered with
tartar mixed with mucus and food in
a state of decomposition need hardly

The Hummino Birds FIiqht.


The fight of the little cumming bird
is mere remarkable than that OF the
eagle. We can understand the Tapping
of the eagles immense wing support
ing comparatively light body. But
our little bird has plump body. His
wings are not wide. but long. so he
must move them rapidly to sustain his
weight. and this he can do to perfec-
ton. The vibrations of his wings are
so rapid as to make them almost in
visible. He can use them to sustain
himself iD midair. with his body as
motionless as il perched on twig.
In this way he can sip the nectar of
the delicate, fine stemmed flowers
without alighting for a moment. He
never alights while so engaged. He
moves from flower to flower with a
graceful and rapid movement. some
times chasing away bee or hum
ming bird moth. of which he is very
jealous. Nor is be much more favora-
bly, impressed with any small birds
that seem in his way. He knows his
power of flight. and he has no fear OF
any other bird-St. Nicholas.

Mexican Tidbits.

Water bugs and worms are among
the tidbits in which the Mexican peon
delights. He catches his bugs as they
skim along the top of fresh water
ponds, drying them and then eating
them with as much zest as an Ameri-
can boy eats peanuts. AS near as the
peon can explain it. their flavor is
something on the order of the chest
nut. but as no white man has ever
tried eating water bugs or. if he has,
doesn't dare confess it. the exact taste
of these Mexican morsels can't be de-
scribed very accurately. The poems
