Dental Hygiene In Africa.

The manufacturer of a popular den

lead a. different kind Of life from us.
and therefore nature takes care Of
their teeth without artificial help"

places, saw this and laughed. 81 know

said, "that brush their teeth regularly.
Each person carries a twig Of certain

into a good bunch of bristles and
spend quarter-hour every morning
cleaning their teeth thoroughly. They
tie string to the twig and dangle it
from the waist cord, if they have no
other clothes to fasten it on. 1t is an
important thing to them"

Embroidery an Old Art.

Embroidery is supposed to be one of
the earliest domestic arts, for it is
argued that it must have been en-
ployed for decorative purposes very
soon after sewing was invented. This
would place it long before the art of
weaving was discovered and back in
the days when the skins of animals
were the only material for clothing
that existed. The earliest known spec
linens of embroidery, however, are
some fragments discovered in Egypt,
and the earliest Of these is supposed
to have been made about the fifteenth
century 3. G. Naturally materials of
this kind disappear very rapidly, and
it is only in very dry climate like
Egypt, with It's sandy soil, that fab
RIGS suitable for embroidery could sur

There is a marriage custom among
the Santals, tribe in India, by which,
after a cash price, has been set on the
bride by the parents, the fiance and
his lady tie knot in a string for

Most wonderful of aall is the nest Of
the hornbnl. The hen bird lays her
eggs In a hollow in a tree, and as soon
as she is settled on them the male
bird walls her. in with clay, leaving
just space for her head to stick out.
He feeds her, and there she sits, not
only until the eggs are Matched, but
until the young are big enough to come

MARRIED MEN THE BEST BET

Kansas City Star: Figures Of the
bureau of internal revenue show that
married men pay the bulk of the in
come tax. 1t isn't surprising: In the
first place there are more of them,
and in the second place their incomes
are greater than those of unmarried
men. They have to be.
When a man gets married he be-
comes a supporter of government.
There are the city, the state ana me
nation. All have to be supported, and
they naturally turn to the married man
because he Is pretty sure to be home.
He is an institution, rooted in the
soil and can be- counted on. He has
every. incentive to work hard and in
crease his income. He takes fewer
chances on investments, in business
or in betting on world series than
unmarried men. AS result he Is the
governments best bet when it wants
to collect some kind of tax. r....
The, day when the income tax be-
comes payable is married mems day.
Everybody has day, and this is his.
He adds his income up on one side of
the ledger and his dependents on the
other. He subtracts the second sum
from the first and pays his tax on
the remainder. The government
knows there is bound to be a4remaind.
er, for married men cannot afford the
luxury of deficit. Only governments
can, have that.
We very much doubt if governm emit
could exist, in anything like high
state of inefficiency at least, without
married men. Without them govern
'ment probably would have to live
within its income. rs.

END OF FINGER CRUSHED OFF

Last Saturday afternoon Dorothy
Robinson and Marjorie Cannon, both
aged about years, were playing at
the marble works of William Y. Sip
pie & Son, on Railroad Avenue, North
Milford. The workmen were all gone
and the works were closed for the
day, when the little girls entered the
yard where the finished stones are set
up for display purposes. They were
playing about one of the smaller but
heavy stones, when they toppled it
from the foundation, and in falling
one of the fingers of Marjorie Can
mons left hand was caught between
the sharp edge of the adjoining mon
ument, and it was severed completely
Just above the first joint. The little
girls ran to the garage of William
Webb, nearly opposite, crying and
frightened, and he took them to the
office of DR.. William Marshall, who
has Just recently returned from
France, where the wound was dressed
and the child made comfortable.
Marjorie Cannon is a daughter Of
Major James Cannon, who is in France,
and Dorothy Robinson is the daguhter
of Postmaster Robinson of Milford.
Mr.. Sipple reports that children
have caused them much anxiety and
some loss by injury to the finished
marble by frequenting the display
yards after work hours. Recently four
small children were found sitting on
a large and heavy marble cross tower
ing above a temporary base in their
yard. Had this stone have fallen in
all probability some of the children
would have been killed or seriously
iniured
