charge that this sort of dealing with ci

iarizes the people to, and is ono of tl
grand fomenters of, crime. It du
harm "in another way. Every newsp

that a crime has been committed, wi

According to the German Correspon?
dent the Government of Germany has
decided that railway rolling stock is nut
to be considered fuir prize of war; and
the carriages taken from the French are
accordingly to be returned as soon as
possible. No government baa, however,
given in its adhesion to this view of the
ouse, and the question therefore remains
open. 10,000 railway carriages in all are
said to have been captured by the Ger?
man troops, und some were taken in ac?
tual battle. It is stated, in a German
paper, that Prussia has entered into ne?
gotiations with Austria and Bavaria in
order to concert measures in common
for dealing with pending religious ques?

promulgation of the infallibility dogma.
Complimentary letters, including a good

being taunted by his own braves with

to die. He accordingly gavo away hie

'SOMETHING ?BOtrx Tiarri" ^W?y do
some .people's teeth come oat more
readily tbao others? The reasons for
thia oro probably many. About" the
middle of the last cou tury, Peier Kulm,
a Swede, visited.'America, and wrote
sensibly about what he saw. Ho .ob?
served a freqnont loss of teeth among
settlers from Europe, especially, women.
After discussing and rejecting many
modes of explanation, he attributed it
to hot toa and other hot beverages; and
came to a goneral conclusion that "hot
feeders lose their teeth more readily than
cold feeders." Mr. Catlin, who some
year? ago had an interesting exhibition
of fudtau scenery, drosses, weapons,
io., noticed that North American lu
dines have better teeth than tho whites.
He ncoonuts for the difference in this
nt l ange way-that the reds keep the
mouth shut, whereas the whites keep it
open. Thu tooth, he says, require mois?
ture to keep their surfaces in good work?
ing order; when the mouth is open, tho
mucous membrane has a tendency to dry
up, tho teeth loso their needed supply of
moisture, and thence come discolora?
tion, toothache, tic doloureux, decay,
looseness and eventual lose of teeth.
Mr. Catliu scolds thu human race gene?
rally for being less sensible than thu'
brutes in this respect, aud the white
race especially in comparison with tho
red. Wo keep our mouths opon far too
much; tho Indian warrior sleeps, bouts
aud smiles with his mouth shut, and
respires through tho nostrils. Amoug
tho virtues attributed by him to closed
lips, oue ?is excellent - when you aro
uugry, keep your mouth shut.

WHAT GABBIE SAYS ABOUT IT.-"Car?
gie" writes to say that it is impossible
I for her to ho a sensible girl, because the
I men won't permit her to be so. If upon
a moonlight night ehe wishes to talk
about the stare, tlie male idiots about
her compare the stars with her eyes. Il
she speaks of a rosa as possessing a
beautiful hue, they say her cheek rivals
it. Should she venture to call attention
to tho melody of tho night-bird's song,
these monkey-men tell her that her voice
is sweeter music. In view", of this state
of affairs, "Carno" asks as how she can
be anything else than a fool.
