CITIES HARD TO KILL.

What Rome, Paris, constantinopIe and
London Have Suffered.
It Is a difficult thing to Kill city,
and there are some well known places
that have SO much vitality that they
will survive any number Of disasters.
Take Rome as a first example. No
fewer than ten times has she been
swept by pestilence. She has been
burned twice and starved out on six
occasions. Seven times she has been
besieged or bombarded But she still
fiourishes. Perhaps that Is why she
is called the Eternal City.
Paris has had eight sieges. ten fam
ines, two plaques and one FIRE which
devastated 1t. We make no reference
to the number OF revolutions, as they
are too numerous to mention. But
Paris still fiourishes.
Constantinople has been burned out
nine times and has suffered from four
plaques and Eve sieges- There are
some people who think that many OF
the sultans have been as bad for the
city as any pestilence. And yet she
goes on.
Lastly there is the English metropo.

In a swamp. In her early history she
was sacked. burned and all her inhab.

HOW TO CARE FOR THE TEETH
Powdered Pumioe Is Effective In Keep
inu Them White.

Powdered Pumioe Is Effective In Keep
ing Them White.
Powdered pumice is the best agent
for keeping the teeth white, sound and
free from disfiguring tartar.
When adding this certain aid tc
beauty to the list of toilet requisites il
Is well to remember that extreme eau
ton must be exercised in using it.
Applied oftener than once every two
months it is liable to wear away the
enamel, especially if the structure of
the teeth is soft.
To gain the best effects the pumice
should be applied with the aid of an
orange wood stick with q piece Of alb
sorbent cotton wound around the
sharpened end to prevent injury tc
the gums.
Mix the powder with few drops OF
lemon juice or dip the improvised
brush first in the lemon juice, then in
the powder.
Take a position in front of a well
lighted mirror and rub the teeth well
with the pumice. This does not mean
an application to the centers of the
teeth alone, but to the sides, the back
and especially the portions near the
gums Do not loosen the flesh from
the teeth, however, as this win GER
tainly result in diseased gums.
When each tooth has had its sepa-
rate treatment of pumice rinse the
mouth carefully, but do not brush the
teeth at once A diluted rinse Of lime
water is excellent for this purpose
having a tendency to counteract the
effects of the acid. Later, when every
particle of pumice is removed, the
cracks between the teeth should be
cleansed with a soft brush.
Lime or soda water is a splendid
preventive of yellow teeth, its value
lying in its tendency to dissolve tar
tar accumulations. Soda water may
be mixed as needed, the correct pro-
portion being teaspoonful Of bicar'

How to Clean the Inside Of Shoes.
1t Is possible to clean the inside Of
shoes thoroughly, and the process will
appeal to neat women.
Take an old toothbrush which has
been thoroughly cleansed with hot
water and washing soda-or a new
brush, for that matter-wet slightly.
soap it enough to make light suds.
and with it carefully rub and clean the
inside of your shoes. It is not neces-
sary to get them very wet The chem
zeal action Of the soap does the work.
Let the suds remain a few minutes,
then rinse with the brush in the same
way, put the shoes on ventilated shoe
trees to dry in the air, and they will
be as fresh as new pair-Harper's

naval officer was lent by the English
to the Turkish government in order to
carry out this and other measures.
He laid down the buoys and was sur

that thereupon the whole business was

that buoys require care. that it ia

Some months later. however, the
English officer heard shocking reports
Of these buoys and many complaints
Of them. and on going out to inspect
them he found the paint worn of and
most Of the buoys waterlogged. Here
upon he wrathfully found the man in

HOW 70 Clean Feather.

The safest method of cleaning a
white ostrich plume is to move it back
and forth in gasoline. Put about q
quart of gasoline in a pan and move
the feather about in it gently, using
great care not to break the stem nor
tear on the flues. If the feather is ex-
cessively soiled more than one portion
OF gasoline may be required. Hang
the feather in the sun and air to dry.
When dry take each flue between the
fingers and curl it with a dull bladed
knife In using gasoline be careful not
to be near the gaslight.
