QUICKSILVER BAD ON TEETH
Fumes Of Mercury Produce Salvation
and Miners Seldom Live More
Than Two Years.

Quicksilver miners follow the most
unhealthy trade in the world. The
fumes of the mercury produce con-
slant salvation, and the system be-
comes permeated with the metal; the
teeth of the unfortunate men drop out,
they lose their appetite. become ema-
ciated and, as a rule, seldom live long
err than two years.
Chloride of lime. employed by
bleachers, frequently destroys the
enamel and dentine of the teeth. But
phosphorus, used SO largely in the
manufacture of lucifer matches. at
fects very large number of persons,
women, girls and children greatly pre-
ponderating.
People who work in soda factories
are affected by the teeth becoming
soft and translucent; they break of
close to the gums.
DR.. Hesse of Leipsic states that ba-
kers are likely to suffer from decayed
teeth on account Of the flour entering
the mouth during work collecting on
and around the teeth, where it decom
poses and generates an acid destruc
tive to dentine.

Dainty Negilgee Garment May Be Fad
In Practically Any Form That Can
Be Required.

Despite the pronounced vogue Of
Chinese modes in formal garb, the jap
anese kimono remains the intimate
friend of the woman who has col
lection Of dainty lounging robes. For
those cold mornings when the wind
bowls outside and the furnace Is In
sulky mood, there are comforting
robes of quilted Japanese silk, dainti.
ly hand-worked with light and dark
floss. For milder weather there are
adorable kimonos of lowered satin
with borders of satin or Japanese silk,
and some of these have the shirrings
at the elevated waist line which
slightly suggest a blending of the EN-
pire with the Oriental style. Still
more fascinating are the cotton and
silk crepes in white. sprinkled over
with pink cherry blossoms and in
blue or rose printed with graceful
sprays of white wistaria. To wear the
kimono there should be clinging
loose slip of satin in q solid tone
matching either the grounding or the
figuring Of the robe. Many women,
however, prefer to wear the ordinary
princess garment of Seco silk trimmed
with lace ruffes or the one in white
lingerie carrying muslin embroidery
Van Dyck point insertions, and edg.
ings of Valenciennes lace.

Accordion-Pleated Crepe de Chine

street frocks are simple, even II they
are expensive, but afternoon clothes
are not only expensive-they are elab-

The frock illustrated is one of the
charming accordion-pleated crepe de
chine models made for little girls.
The dress is simple enough in outline,
but the yoke is of real baby Irish lace,
and the crepe de chine, to be durable
and yet soft and thin, must be expens-

Some Of the frocks for very little
girls, like the one described, have high
waist lines, but many of them have the
belt fastened well below the knees.
Ribbon belts are almost exclusively
used for little girls. Sometimes the
crushed and folded ribbon is fastened
about the frock with invisible stitches.
sometimes it is run through embroid-
cred beading, sometimes through but
tonholed Sits in the skirt of the Track.
Hand tucking and hand embroidery
are combined with expensive lace to
make children's clothes elaborate. One

SAVE EGGS FOR WINTER NOW
Poultry Department Of New York
State College Of Agriculture Gives
Practical Directions,

Eggs at present prices on the farm
are cheap food. Next winter, when
eggs are scarce and high, why not
have plenty Of cheap eggs for home
use?
The poultry department OF the New
York state college of agriculture at
Cornell university gives the following
directions for preserving eggs in wat
erglass.
The commercial water-giass solu-
ton may be obtained from any drug
store at a cost of about 20 cents a
quart. Mix ~ quarts of this solution
with eighteen quarts of pure water.
Water which has been boiled is prefer
able. Stir these until they are thor
oughly mixed. Two eight-gallon jars
are sufficient for thirty dozen eggs, US
ing the amount of solution as prescrib-
ed above. After the water-glass is
thoroughly mixed divide it into the
vessels to be used. Be sure that the
vessels are absolutely clean. Place the
eggs in the water-glass, see that the
tops eggs are covered by at least two
inches Of the liquid, and cover the
jars to prevent evaporation. Place
them in a cool place where they will
be undisturbed during the year.
Preserve only absolutely fresh eggs.
Stale eggs will not keep in any pre-
servative. Have your preservative
ready to put the fresh eggs into as you
get them. If you are in doubt as to
their freshness, candle them, or see
If they sink when placed in dish Of
water. If any egg sinks it is reason
ably fresh. Do not preserve dirty
eggs nor eggs which have been wash
ed.
Water-glass eggs are practically as
good as fresh eggs for most cooking
purposes. II it is desired to boil them,
prick small hole through the large
end of the shell before placing them
In the water. The pores Of the shell
have been sealed with the water-glass
solution, and without this pin hole the
expanding air within the shell would
burst it.

Red Tape In France.

A curious little monument to French
red tape is to be seen at the Petit
Palais. The clock in the building has
marked the same hour for the last
Is years. although it is in perfect re-
pair. The explanation borders ON the
ridiculous.
At the close of the Paris exhibition
10 years ago busybody of an Of
fetal stopped the clock for no other
reason than that the exhibition was
closing it's gates. Since then it has
remained stationary. for the simple
reason that it does not appear on the
list of clocks which the official clock
winder to the municipal council has to
attend to. and until some particularly
member Of the council at
tends to the matter the present state
Of affairs is likely to continue.

Prize Cleansing Fluid.

A Society Of arts in England some
years ago offered a prize for the best
process of cleansing silk, wooden and
cotton fabrics-one that would not
change their color or injure them in
any way. The winning recipe was as
follows: Crate two good-sized pota-
toes into a pint Of clear, clean, soft
water. Strain through coarse sieve
into a gallon of water and let the
liquid settle. Pour the starchy fluid
from the sediment and it is ready for
use. Rub the articles gently in the
liquid, rinse thoroughly in clear water.

TREATMENT FOR LUMPY JAWS
Most Satisfactory Way 10 to Remove
the Growth With knife when
In the Tissues Only.
(By q. q. GRAHAM)


The most satisfactory way OF treat
ing lumpy Jaws is to remove the
growth with the knife when In the
tissues only. The animal Is thrown;
the head then held in favorable po-
sition, the skin is cut over the tumor
and the swelling removed by cutting
around 1t in the healthy tissues. II
hemorrhage is large the vessel may
be tied or taken up with the forceps;
bleeding from smaller vessels may be
scared with a red hot iron. The
wound should be washed with an anti
septic in one per cent. solution after
the tumor is removed and then packed
with antiseptic gauze or cotton ana
the wound stitched up. The next day
removed the stitches and treat as an
open wound.

Fresh Bedroom.

Personal cleanliness includes keep
ing ones sleeping room sweet and

Do-Nothing Legislature

Some 40 state legislatures. more or
less, are now in a state of violent erup-
tfon. Heaven knows We already have
more laws on the statute books than
we can understand or properly admin
lister, says the Baltimore American.
What is needed most is the re-
peal OF many of them: fewer laws and
sounder ones, less legislation and more
common sense. But these Legislators
have been duly elected, and unless they
meet and do something they cannot
draw salaries. No one. except the pol
iticians. desires the legislatures to as
semble. There is nothing for them to
do except make mischief. We could get
on very well with Legislature about
once in five years, but this would not
suit the race of petty statesman with
which the country is so previously
afflicted
Nothing doing" indeed, These 40
Legislatures with their legion of half
baked lawmakers, are Matching out
daily an immense amount of trouble
for legitimate industries and the world
of business: they are diligently en-
gagged in making all kinds and vari-
ties of laws designed to complicate ex-
istence; to tax decent thrift and make
it pay bonus to Incompetence and
shftlessness. to make it harder for
succeed and easier for the improvident
and idle to dodge the natural result
of their ill-doing.

History and other juvenile publications
about birds, animals and varmints.
Likewise the nature fakirs give us a lot
of mendacious hogwash relative to the
doings of the feathered tribe which
makes my collar get tight. These or

and canary birds Is mostly pluperfect

tionists holdZ$ut the idea that tomtits,
Jo-rees, Canary birds and blue jays has
got more sense than Congress.
The undraped truth is that these
birds of literature is just about as ig-

cause he was a mild type OF fowl, con-
seravtive in his profanity and safe and
sane in his temperance views.
Fellows that bird could actually cuss
In three languages and two dialects,
but he alters mixed etikett with his
blasphemey in an admirable manner,
and held himself in during an emer-
gency like a mad Lady Delegate at a
hot Hen Convention.
For instance when Methodist
preacher come loafing around him--he
would scorn to disguise his swearing in
French or Spanish but instead of thet
he'd first get morally certain that the
Brother was of the Methodist persua-
sion all right, and then that biped
would calmly sit back on the end of his
tail and cuss the Baptists from INNER
sion to Close Communion. until the
Methodist reverend would look as
pleased as goat-and that parrots
language was all the time in plain
Birmingham English that a niger

the shepherd from the navy sidled off
with a grin as wide as the mouth of the
Amazon. Never could get him to bias
pheme in the presence of an Episcopa-
lyun Rector or a member of that flock.
Reckon 1t was because there wasn't
religion enough present for the bird to
locate the creed. When a Campbellite
moseyed around him, that fowl would
simply take a bath, without saying a
word-and If Presbyterian fooled
