|ARE OF CHILDREN'S TEETH. D«e»y Is Very Apt to Attack the Tooth When the Child Is Young. There in no reason why the appearance of the teeth should cause any serious diitar raugement of the system, but owing to some neglect of the general laws of health the slight fever and laxativencss which at tends infantile teething becomes aggra vated into serious disease. The first teeth that appear are the two upper or two lower iucisors; after these the teeth on either side, then the molars, and usually liefore the child is two years old, and last of all. the canine teeth. The child now has twenty teeth. These should lie preserved by wash ing them carefully after eating from the time they first appear. When the little one is two years old the nurse may begiu to use a soft brush. Should there l«e any appearance of decay u. these teeth the child should be taken to a dentist, who will put in a soft temporary filling, which is done so easily that it will cause no special inconvenience to the child, and will save it from that must excruciat ing pain of childhood—the toothache. It will also insure the permanent teeth com ing in in a satisfactory manner, provicKug the bodily health remains good. It is oi the greatest importance that the child'* temporary teeth be retained in the gum, a* all intelligent dentists agree, until the permanent teeth appear. The permanent teeth absorb the roots of the temporary teeth and push them out as they advance In this way all the teeth, if kept sound ami filled if necessary, will full out at their proper time with little or no jiain or loss of blood. The writer has seen a child take out its canine teeth with its fingers. The teeth were as sou ml as pearls, but the roots nad been completely absorbed by the perms nent teeth a hicu appeared bcuealh them. The first permanent teeth to appear in s child’s mouth come in about the sixth year back of the temporary teeth. They do not displace any other teeth and are sometimes taken for temporary teeth and neglected. Important as it is to save temporary teeth, it is doubly important to save these per manent molars, as they are intended to last during a lifetime, and slight decay during childhood progresses far more mp idly than it does in later life when the tooth has become more hardened. It is far more necessary that the teeth should la* properly brushed in childhood than in later life, because at the time the permanent teeth are taking the plate ol the temporary teeth the fluids of the mouth are of an acid nature and the enamel am* dentine have not become hardened. There fore, decay is much more rapid and more liable to occur. It is a cruelty to a Hub child to neglect its teeth so long as to make a severe dental operation upon them neces sary. though a good dentist, who know* bis business, will kill the nerve of a tern porary tooth Indore he will extract it. The eight molars of double teeth of in fancy are usually retained until the child is about eleven years old, though they often come out before. The use of good tooth picks or of dental silk, to clean out the par tides of food between the teeth, is a neces sity to their proper care. The particles of food left between the teeth become putri lied in a few hours in the temperature of the mouth, so that the need for a use of the toothbrush vigorously is at once appar cut. A toothbrush should be stiff enough to do its work well, but uot so stiff aud harsh as to injure the gums. Most of the sapoim oeous powders sold are excellent, because soup destroys the animalculie, which are very likely to exist in putrifled matter about the teeth. In case a simple powder of charcoal or of chalk or orris root is used, all of which are excellent, the teeth should Ire brushed at least once a week with white castile soap, but not oftencr, as the use of pure soap too frequently tends to turn the enamel yellow. A well tried and excellent tooth powder is made of four parts of powdered chalk, two parts of orris root anil oue part of powdered camphor. A mixture of buuey and powdered charcoal is an exce llent old fashioned tooth powder. A few drops ol tincture of myrrh in a tumbler of watei makes the last and most refreshing tooth wash that can lie had. It is certainl) worth while, on the ground of general health, if uot for many other most excel lent reasons, to take the most dainty cart of the teeth. Diphtheria, of all sporadic diseases, is believed by some of our last authorities to arise from the foul germ* produced by decaying teeth.—New York Tribune. Society aud the Family. The family is the real social unit, and what society has to do is to promote the good of the family. And in the family woman is as completely supreme as is man in the state. And for all moral purposes the family is more vital, more beautiful, more universal than the state. To keep the family true, refined, affect iouate, faith ful is a grander task than to govern the state. It is a task which needs the whole energies, the entire life of woman. To mix up her sacred duty with the coarser occ’ti pa lions of politics aud trade is to unfit her for it as completely as if a priest were to embark in the business of a money lender. That such primary social truths were ever forgotten at all is oue of the portents of this age of skepticism, mammon worship and false glory. While the emliers of the older chivalry ami religion retained their warmth, no decent man. much less woman, could be found to throw ridicule on the chivalrous and saintly ideal of woman as man’s guar dian angel and queen of the home. Dut the ideals td religion of old are grown faint and out of fashion, and the priest of today Is too often willing to go with the times. Is it to lie left to the religion of humanitj to defend the primeval institutions of so cietyf Let us then honor the Old World image of woman as being relieved by man Votu the harder tasks of industry, from in* defense and management of the state. Sn onler that she may set herself to train up each generation to be worthier than the last, and may make each home in some sense a heaven of peace on earth. —Fort nightly Review.

Tl. other half, carpeted with a Brussels cari>ei has an easy chair, several rockers an* other chair*. The hack part of the room Is separate' by an apology for a partition that does no pretend to bide from view the high priestes of the establishment, Mrs, Smith, who i busy generally preparing vegetables, cook ing or talking to some of her “girls’ a four tables in the center of the room an* another table that encroaches on the sac re precinct of live kitchen in the demand fo more room. “You must just help yourselves here." •• rosy checked young woman remarked ton newcomer. “1 always go out in the kitch eu myself ami get my hot plate and hel| myself to the meat and vegetables I lik> best.” She called a little girl, however, to war at the table, and from the choice of steal and corned beef the latter was chosen. AI helped themselves liberally to some appl« sauce and mealy white potatoes that con trusted very favorably with the same veg etables that are served in more pretention- restaurants. “I wonder if I could have some hot cab bage?’* “Oh. ye*.” the young woman replied “PH get it myself.” In spite of remonstrance she retttrnei with a straining dish, the odor of whici was not so disagreeable after all. Of fours* almost everylxsly had a piece of Mr* omilh'b genuine homemade mince pie with a cup of tea or coffee. On the tables was an unusual collectioi of napkin rings. A pretty straw ring . wooden one, ami another were considern bly the worse for wear. "We bring our own rings and then w* are sure to have the same napkins even time.” was the explanation. “Don’t you have fresh napkins even day?” "Well, you might uot if you didn’t know where the clean ones are kept, but we hav* our rings ami put the napkins away in tin drawer, ami no oue touches them. Yoi don’t mind asing your own napkin mor« than once.” “I thought it very funny the first day i came, but the second time I went right out in the kitchen ami waited on myself as 1 do now. and I come all the time. Hu- brought me here.” Gus is the owner of the pretty stra-' ring, ami is very pretty, with soft hrowi hair ami eyes, oval face and dainty nmutl that closed over nearly perfect teeth. The most refreshing part of the meal i paying the bill. Mrs. Smith’s method doe credit to her heart and good faith in worn aukiud. but it warn id not recommend ifsci to the average business man. Luncheon for the w’eek are one dollar (kept account of by the girls aud paid for w hen they se« fit), or twenty cents for a single meal. Mrs Smith couldn’t change a five dollar noh for the newcomer. “Oh, never mind. You can pay it when you come again.’’ On another visit the scene was different The tables had lieen cleared, but Mr* Smith was equal to the occasion. In a few minutes plates, knives and forks had l>eei laid, tea had lieen made and fish cakes in i. spider on a gas stove gave out an appe tizing odor. Mrs. Smith is a remarkably pleasant woman to look at—plump and pretty, witi wavy hair that is growing liecomiugi) white. She is bright ami motherly. He: husband is the janitor of an office huildiuj. in Broadway, and the family live there Six years ago a young woman who wh? employed in an office in the building am visited Mrs. Smith’)* rooms occasionally after much coaxing persuaded Mrs. Smith to give her a hot luncheon at noon. Soon afterward the mother of another young woman inquired if Mnt. Smith would makt- for her delicate daughter a cup uf hot tea at noon. Other* coaxed one after another. One girl who was a telegraph operatoi wired to a friend in another building “Why don’t you come up to Mrs. Smith’* to luncheon?” “Does she have pickles?” was the query. “Yes,” “Well. I’ll come.” Within a year forty girls went to Mrs. Smith’s room for luncheon, hut in the course of time the owner of the building refused pleasantly but firmly to have forty girls use its elevators just at the neon hour. Mrs. Smith was told that she might have a few girls, hut serving forty was stretching the point. “Which ones shall 1 tell to leave?” she asked despairingly. Then she said de* perutcly, “I’ll keep them all.” New quarter* were rented in Cedar street, and afterward in Greenwich street. The girls did not lose a single meal during the moving. One gill has told another, until from eighty to ninety customers go regularly to Greenwich street for lunch eon, aud Mrs. Smith looks out for all. The girls almost without exception are pretty, ladylike and well dressed, and n<e stvnog mphers or telegraph operators. If oue of Mr. Smith’s girls lie chilled by a long ride on a winter’s day. she runs down to Mrs. Smith, and after getting a warm potion goes to business feeling like another woman, or, if in the summer she takes a vacation of an afternoon aud a trip to Coney Island, she sends word that she would like to have supper on that partial iar day, an;! she doesn’t enjoy it any the less after a breath of salt air. A fewdays before Christmas Mrs. Smith prepare* the very best dinner that she knows how to prepare, and the girls revel in turkey, plum pudding, fruit, wines and other goal things of a regular Christmas dinner. “Of course some of the girls won’t take wine,” Mr*. Smith explained, “but 1 want them to have everything that la* longs to such a dinner.” The girls thor oughly enjoy the dinner and show their appreciation in a substantial maimer One Christmas it took the farm of a Ro man gold pin with a diamond in the ceu ter. Mrs. Smith’s assistants, of whom there are five or six. also share in the re mom bronco. Mrs. Smith is a philanthropist in her way. Her assistants are well paid, and af ter the luncheon is cleared away they take home the food that remains. Oue of the women, a widow with five children, get* almost enough provisions for her family - New York Sun. The .Servant Girl Then and Now. The servant girl question is still a burn Ing one in nearly every center of popula tion and it is likely to remain a question of paramount interest to housewives foi some little time to come. A good many more or less foolish *ohi tloua of it hare been proposed ami aban ioued aud still social philosophers are wor rying over it without material result. • li the first place they can'Wtgrec among them selves what the question really is, an* those who do agree upon that point can’, agree upon any other except that the hire* girl is an uncertain quantity and a sourt * of infinite vexation to housekeepers. The hired girl is human. That is on* point that often seem* to be forgot leu b; those who complain alamt her. If it wer always remembered possibly the servai. girl question would settle Itself. Brklgt and Gretchen never are wholly insensibh They have their woman’s pride, their fem» nine instincts and contradict ions, an when* they are uot Uiken into accoun trouble is tiound to follow. It is to he noted that our great-great grandmothers had precious little wmrv with their help. Hannah was in tb< habit of living In the same family till sin got married, and about as often as not *b* married one of her mistress’ boys. In an event she was a “help” and not a “servant.

ProfeHMiottal or Married Life for Wtmieu. j Dr. Arabella Keuealy, a well known ixmdon physician, is credited wicii the tol i lowing: ''Women should not attempt to | carry on a profession after marriage.

GONE FOREVER. The That It Illstory of m Timcplcve Founded on Fact. It was at the time when the leaves were beginning to turn in November that Henry Smith mode the startling discovery that his watch had stopped. He wound it up, Lipped it gently with his knuckles and then shook it, but it only ticked a few times in a sickly way, aud then it stopped again. “It needs cleaning and a new balance Staff,” said th • watch doctor to waom he twk it. “You may do the work,” Henry said. “How long will it take?” “About a week,” replied the watch maker. "In the meantime you may carry this watch.” and he handed out a small silver timepiece which wound with a key. One week from that day Henry Smith again sought the shop of the watchmaker to get his watch. The proprietor of the shop assured him smilingly that the work was not yet completed, ami told him to call around in three or four days. When the longer time hail elapsed Henry Smith called again and was told that the watch maker h;id lieen- very busy—so busy, in fact, that he hadn’t done Mr. Smith's work. Another time was named for the comple tion of the cleaning ami the replacing of the hal;uice staff. Days became weeks; weeks rolled Into months, and still Henry Smith with lamb like patience continued to call for his watch at stated intervals. He always re ceived the same answer, unblushingly given, “Not quite done.” Christmastime came and went and the old year was ticket! out by a small, silver, key wind watch which reposed in the pocket of Henry Smith. He engaged in the practice of his profes sion. Success rewarded his efforts. He was much sought after and had multi tudinous engagements, all of which were faithfully kept on time recorded by a small, key wind watch with a silver case. But In the midst of the press of his professional duties he still found time to call period ically for Ids watch, ft was never done. And the months rolled into years. Upon the occasion of one call he b.-id been favored by getting a glimpse of his owp timepiece. It h;td looked at him with it* white face like some ghost of the dear, dead past, and he had hurriedly turned and gone out. Time wheeled on. Gray hairs began U appear among Henry Smith's locks, and still lie continued to call at the watch maker’s with ironical persistency. Occasionally, alxsit this time, he was ac oompauiad by one or another of his chil di\*n. Year succeeded year, and finally his grandchildren Uxl the hoaryheaded, tot tering old man on his ever fruitless mis sion.
