And he <*oes on to sny that "to produce strong teeth is almost as simple a matter as to produce strong arms." Children should be accustomed to rigorous mastication by prnctlce three times a day, and the habit thus formed will not be forgotten. By such a system of training "bills for dentis try will be reduced, the child's teeth will become strong and well polished, and there will be a distinct enlarge ment of the jaw and a strengthening of the facial muscles.

No Finger Bowls. One of the many strange unwritten laws which must be observed when royalty is being entertained is that which forbids the use of finger bowls at dinner for any of the guests except the royal ones. This custom dates from tbe early days of the Georges, when t'je nobles were divided in their alle giance hetwc <n the reigning house of Hanover and the exiled Stuarts. To many of these nobles allegiance to the Stuarts was a religion and often tbe outward acts of ??iioginnce to the reigning sovereign were perverted Into treasonable acts of homage to the ex iles. Xo dinner was complete with out its toast to "the King" in those days, to evade which was an act of treason punishable even with death and loss of titles and estates. The Jacobites, however, discovered a way to avoid this penalty without sacrific ing their loyalty. Holding tbe wine glass over the finger bowl, they drained the glass to."the King." with a mental reservation "over the wa ter." This simple ruse was soon dis covered aud the use of finger bowls was forbidden.?Buffalo Courier. Wi?*m In Potto Ktco. Wages are lower in l'orto Rico than in the United States, writes J. O.
