Few people are aware why
teeth decay. The rotting is
caused by innumerable worms
that collect on the enamel and
bulrow into 1t. Itis the masses
of these filthy things that
chiefly make up the tartar,
that is so foul and so disfgur-
ing to the appearance Of the
teeth. They number millions
in a nasty mouth, and so mi,
mute that they cannot be seen
by the naked eye, requiring a
good microscope to be seen In
all their hideousness. They
are white and transparent,
with nearly the same conforma.
tion at both ends. They seem
to have a joint in the middle
and are in perpetual motion.
They discharge an acid of some
sort, which combines with the
lime of the enamel, and if they
are not cleaned away regular
ly, they thus penetrate through
this very hard coating and get
into the body of the teeth; The
acids of the food then find
entrance into the substance of
which the teeth are composed,
and the sure consequence is
the misery of the toothache
and the visit of the dentist,
there to be subjected to the in
ternal process of filing plug
ging and extracting-all Of
which might have been saved
by a little attention to clean
illness.


We wish our young friends
could view under a microscope
a drop Of saliva from a tooth
brush-they would see with
amazement that it contains sev.
eral thousand of these wrig-
Cling little mouth.worms. We
are sure that they would need
no stronger argument to make
them use the brush thoroughly
and keep the teeth clear of the
most disgusting animalculae
that can be imagined to exist
anywhere--much less in the
mouth of a decent person.

Another calamity to the
French, in the shape of the
cattle plague, has broken out
among the immense droves Of
cattle gathered at Brest for the
relief Of the halfstarving pop.
ulation Of Paris, and is doing
such havoc among those herds
that it is impossible to bury
them as rapidly as circumstan-
ces require. A Gordon has
been drawn around the cattle
affected with the disease, and


as they die off they are carted
to the water side and tumbled
into condemned war ships,
which iwhen filed, are towed
out to sea and sunk. 1t is to
be feared, however, that when
these carcasses, in the process
of decomposition, rise to the
surface, they will be washed
ashore and create another pes


thence. Truly, the cup Of
misery to poor France has
been filled to the brim and she
is drinking to the dregs; but
from the very extremity of her
sufferings there is at least this
hope--that she will give up
up the fight, and that her victo


rious enemy will not be with
out generosity in his exactions.

Our CREDIT SYsrEM.-We wish to
call attention to the present loose manner
of doing business in our town, we mean the
system of indefnate crdit, which has grown
up among us, and runs through all of our
business transactions, even down to a
China wash bin.


Our merchants hardly know when they
sell an article if they are selling for cash,
on thirty days, or six months. They make
spasmodic effort at collecting the first of
every month. Bills are made out and pre-
sented, if convenient they are paid if not
they run another month and 50 on from
month to month. This is prolific source
OF trouble, losses and MISUNDERSTANDING,
by the time collections are enforced the
creditor is surprised at the amount of his
az count, he thinks that he has been charged
with things he never had, and TOO much
for what be did have.


We are on the wrong track any system
ofloose general credit on goods purchased
for consumption is ruinous to both buyer
and seller and should be discoura ed 1t
tends to extravaganza on one side, and to
high prices and losses upon the other, and
falls with peculiar hardness upon the cash
buyer who has to make good all losses. 1t

There is an old saying, that it is
Love that makes the world go round.


1t is only by constantly turning
round the great source of light and
heat that our world can exist and il
is only by the warm sunshine of love
that life, and all that is good and beau
tiful in life, can continue.


Love is the great power in the uni
verse that creates and blesses. God is
love. We have all been placed upon
this eaTth-man, and all other erea-
tures-to use it, enjoy it, and fulfill
our part upon it, each in our proper
place, and each according to our ma
ture. If we all use and enjoy our
earthly portion in the spirit of that
love that sustains the world, blessings
abound more and more, misery les
sens, and happiness increases. If we
act against that divine spirit of love,
we are no longer in harmony with the
Ruling Power of the universe, and
misery, confusion and destruction
must follow.


In all the daily things of common
life we may see the working of this
great law of Love.

the very sight OF a book, and always
run away from school when they have
a chance; the other teacher makes
his lessons so pleasant, by the kind
ness of his manner, and by the inter-
est he himself takes in them, that his
pupils like to learn and remember
them, and come to school willingly.
Which of those two teachers has the
most trouble; and which of them sue

1t is the same with our other fellow
creatures-the animals. Treat them

love; teach them kindly, and they will
give US their service. Every day Of
our short lives we can do something
TO add to the happiness of those that
live with us and about us, or to lessen
their suffering.


The time is surely coming to all of

has been equally disastrous, covering
nearly the whole country west of

nOrthward, embracing millions of
the finest timbered land in the West.
The catastrophe is so terrible, involv-
