negro Kills Wife At Mercer.

Will Oates, a colored man, shot
his wife three times as she stepped
from a train at Mercer about noon
last Monday, and she died in a
short time from the injuries. Oates
and his wife had been separated for
some time, and it is said that he
had been making unsuccessful ef-
forts to effect a reconciliation with
her. There had been no serious
trouble in their disagreement, and
his attack on her was entirely unex-
pccted. 1t is said that he had been
drinking. Oates came to town and
surrendered, and was lodged IN
Jail. When informed that his wife
was dead he collapsed, and appears
much effected over his deed, de-
claring that he did not intend to hurt
the woman, but only wanted to fright
en- her. He Is native of the county
and has not been in any serious
trouble heretofore, being good
citizen.

es do not cut off the chemical rays
at all, for those rays are at the vio-
let end of the spectrum. Smoked
glasses, on the other hand, often
cut of SO much light that reading
with them is like reading by twilight.
Sometimes green glasses are worn;
they are better than blue, but they
are not satisfactory. Red glass ex.
cludes the actinlc rays completely,
but it is dark, and red light is often
irritating to the nervous system.
Yellow, or rather amber, glasses
are much the best. They cut of al
most all the chemical rays, and ad
NIT light enough for easy vision.
They make dark day seem bright

CslOred Glasses.

The wearing of spectacles to pro-
tect the eyes from the glare of the
sun is a very old custom. The ma
tives of the far northern regions long
ago invented spectacles of wood I,
with a very narrow slit in the center,
to diminish as far as possible the
continual snow glare of the long arc
tic day; and 1t is said that the En-
peror Nero, who was an albino, and
whose eyes were therefore very sen
si,ive to light, used amethysts or
emeralds to shield his eyes. To
day the use of tinted glasses Is very
common; but unless the glasses are
wisely chosen, more harm than good
may result.
In the first place, the shape of
the glasses is often wrong. Curved
or "toric" glasses ought not to be
worn except by direction of an ocu-
list, for they are irregular refractive,
and sometimes cause a great deal of
eye. strain. Unless tinted glasses
are made especially from an oculist's
prescription, they should be perfect
ly plane on both surfaces, and equal
ly thick throughout.
The color of the glasses is also
important. You will fin1 both blue
and smoked glasses IN the shops,
but both, especially the first, are
opel to objection. Colored specta-
eles are meant to shield the eyes
from the aCtinic or chemical rays of
the sun, but not to cut off the light
rays so that it will be haid to read
or to see small objects. Blue glass

Oar Duty TO Oar Teeth.

Many people seem to think that
an annual, or at most a semi annual
visit to the dentist, with the perfume
tory use of a th-brush once or
twice a day, is enough to do for the
health of the mouth and teeth. AS
a matter of fact, that Is far from be-
ing enough.
The DENTS. stops the mischief al
ready caused by neglect, and puts
the mouth in condition to Withstand
further mischief He can instruct
his patients on the care of the mouth,
and stimulate them to more persist
ent attention to it. We all know
how careful we are for few weeks
after a good scoldIng from a con-
scicntious dentist; we should be Just
as careful three hundred and sixty
five days in the year, and several
times in the day.
uHow frequently should the teeth
be cleaned?" That depends on how
clean you wish to be; but this, at
least, is Certain-you should clean
your te, tn Immediately after eating,
no matter how often you eat, and
above all, you should clean them
the last thing at night.
Teach children to use the tooth
brush at very early age-as soon,
IN fact, as they can hold the brush.
You can make sort of Kindergarten
game of 1t, and establish the habit
for life. That is much better and
easier than to wait and Introduce
the process to the child of seven as
one more of the many bothersoms
pealties of being alive.
Merely to present the brush i,
not enough; nor will the hurried
maternal qusry, "Did you clear
yc=I ,e:;h this morn,ngfu save ;
single tooth. Teach the corIec
use of the brush as you would tha
of any tool. Let toothbrush drill

penalties aud prizes.
Teach your child also to use th'
waxed dental floss, aud To rinse BIZ
mouth and throat with some anti
septic solution. See that the brusl
is pushed back and forth, and VI
and down in every direction, ant
that the waxed thread is passed
with a sliding motion between ever,
two teeth. Teach him to be yer,
CAREFUL with the back teeth, fo
those are the teeth with which b.
eats, Teach MIN to be very care
full with the front teeth, for thos
are the teeth that Others see when
