Rensselaer Republican, Volume 14, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 January 1882 — THE TEETH. [ARTICLE]

THE TEETH.

Tuesday morning was a stinger The hay presses are in full blast BOW. 1 ■ —■■>B Wii ' —— Mr. Ford’s, little daughter is dangerously ill. Sheriff Powell, and Clerk Price, went io Chicago Saturday. Miss Delia Duvall, of our town, is visiting friends in Valparaiso. 8. P. Thompson, Esq., attended to legal - business in Lafayette, Monday.

Rensselaer is now three and a half hoars from Chicago and two hours from Lafayette. Since the improved condition of the roads wood is more plenty, although not exactly a drug on the market. MMM****BMMMM The Fowler Republican has very appropriately changed' its head from the eighth to the first page of the paper. Jfr. and Mrs. Jay Williams, of Wetland, and Mrs. Stockton, of Lafayette, visited with Mr. and Mrs. John Makeover, last week. ■■ The Rev. J. W. Loder has been quite ill for some days past, and was unable to officiate at his church last Sunday. We hope soon to see him out. No small-pox in Rensselaer. Our people should not allow themselves to be frightened nigh unto death at every case of wind-cholic they may hear of. i iw e wii Sheriff Powell slipped and fall on an icy walk, the other evening, and sprained one of his lower limbs; not severely enough, however, to lay him up. The Republican office will duplicate Chicago and Lafayette prices in job-printing. Before ordering, call around and get our prices and look at samples of work. •Anether Newton eounty farmer, has borght lots in town and expects so build m the spring. He comes here to educate his children. Another arguement in favor of a new school building..

The members of the Ladies’ Literary Society are informed that Mrs. Price presides and the society still exists. There will be a meeting at the i esidefice of Mrs. Dr. Alter on next Saturday. The Rev. and Mrs. A. Taylor returned from Ohio last Saturday. Mr. Taylor informs us that he has not fully decided to accept the call made him by the members of the Presbyterian church at Ostrander. •—*. . On next Sunday morning at the usual time of holding services at the Christian church, R. S. D wiggins will deliver a lecture on the ‘Millennium,” showing that the signs of the times indicate its near approach. The Fowler Era has been ehanged to a six-column quarto, which is an improvement on the the ©ld folio, but does not raise it from its universally conceded position of the worst paper, typographically, published m Indiana. Now that the Monticello Times has defuncted, ws understand that James W. McEwen, Esq., who is probably the ablest Bourbon editor in Indiana, will start a branch office in that town, and issue the Democratic-Sentinel alternately at Rensselaer and Monticello. Selah I The Republican is receiving lhew subscriptions by the dozen •very week. At, least 200 new names have been added to our list within the past eight months, without any special effort on the part of the publishers, which indicates the appreciation in which The Republican U held by the people of Jasper sounty. The Delphi Times proposes to distribute SSOO worth of presents among its subscribers next April. This may be a good scheme to increas* the subscription list, but we believe the efforts of the publisher would be better appreciated if he 'would use that amount of mjney in improving his paper. Boabd of Health.— The Board of Commissioners convened at the. court house in Rensselaer, Tuesday, for the purpose of organizing themselves into a county board of health, as required by law. Geo. W. Burk was chosen president and O. C. Link secretary The secretary was instructed to carry out the instructions of the Secretary of the State Board of Health, which were published in this paper several weeks ago, The board adjourned tw meet on call of th* secretary.

Buy your Roasted Coffee at C. C. Starr’s and get it pure and fresh. Golden Wedding.— Dr. Alter has handed us a copy of the Fairport (N. Y.) Mail, containing an extended account of the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Peacock, which was celebrated at their home in Lincoln, N. ¥., on Thursday, the sth inst. Speaking of the guests in attendance, the Mail says: “There were present six brothers, to enjoy a reunion after a separation of many years. The only sister living, Mrs. Maria Bancroft, of St. John’s, Mich., was unable to be present. Of Joseph’s brothers, Jonathan resides in Rensselaer, Jasper Co., Ind.; Nicholas r g ides in Pontiac, Mich.; Horace in Corrunna, Mich.; James in Walworth, N. Y.; Henry hi Somerset, N. Y. The united age of these brothers is 418 years; with the sister’s age the family attains to 487 years.” Times are too dull to do much advertising, but prices ara reasonable at the post-office lobby, and goods are first-class. C. J. Reynolds, the young scapegrace who started the Monticello Times last summer, suddenly decamped a week or ten days ago, leaving numerous creditors badly in the lurch. Previous to skipping, he shipped off to parts unknown the best portion of the material of the office, which was heavily mortgaged, and borrowed money of his Democratic brethren in amounts ranging from $25 to $l5O. No word has been received as to the scoundrel’s whereabouts. This is precisely the same kind of a game Reynolds played on the people of Sioux Rapids, lowa, where he ruu a sort of a paper some two or three years ago. And we admonished the people of Monticello to ’‘go slow” on him when he started up there ; but the Democracy of White couni i ty, being threatened with the return of a worse plague, chose Reynolds to avoid it. At least that is the information we have received from Monticello people who ought to know.

BY I. B. WASHBURN.

The human being is provided with two sets of teeth. The first appear in early childhood, and are called the temporary ot milk teeth. The second appear in early life but after the temporary teeth are removed, and’are called permanent. The temporary teeth are twenty in number and are: four incisers, two canine, aud four molars in each jaw, The permanent teeth are thirty-two in number: four incisors, two canine, four bicuspeds and six molars in each jaw. Each tooth consists of three parts: the crown or that portion which project above the gum, the root or fang which is concealed within the jaw and the neck or that portion between the other two. The roots of the teeth are set in the alveoli or opening in the jaw. The roots are covered by a membrane called periosteum. The incisors are so named because they have a sharp edge and are used for cutting the food, they are eight in number, and form the four front teeth in each jaw. They are called the central and lateral incisors. Those of the upper jaw are larger and stronger than those of the Tower and project more, or evershed the lower ones. The canine, or deg teeth are four in number, two in each jaw, they are stronger than the incisors, and the roots are set deeper in the jaw. The ones are called the eye teeth. They have a small prominence or cusp upon each crown, which enables the individual to hold or tear food if necessary. These teeth are called cuspedate because they have a single cusp. In the canine species, those cusps are extended and form tusks which enables them to hold their prey. Theßicuspie teeth, or small molars are eight in number, four in each jaw, two being placed next and back of the canine teeth, each of these have two cusps upon the crown and consequently are bicuspidate. The roots are generally single with a tendancy to divide or become dou'ila. The roots of upper bicuspeds develop this tendency to become double to a greater degree than the lower. The roots of the posterior bicuspids ara not unfrequently double. The molar teeth or grinders, are twelve in number or six in each jaw, they being placed next back of the bicuspids. The molars are larger and stronger than any other teeth, the crown is broader and are •ach surrounded by four or five cusps. They are multicuspidate. The first molar is the largest of the three, the second is smaller and the third, the wisdom tooth, is the smallest.

The teeth are composed of ivory, tooth-bone or dentine, which comprises by far tha greater portion of the teeth. The enamel which covers the exposed part of the crown and is the hardest portion of the teeth, is thickest ou the grinding surface, the hard substance which covers the roots below the enamel increases with age and in some instances forms long growths which adheres to the jaw bone and causes difficulty in extracting the teeth. If a tooth is 'sawed from the top through the center to the point of the root, a cavity will be found which will correspond with the shape of the tooth. It is termed the pulp cavity and contains the dental pulp, blood vessels and nerves.

Mrs. Eden, of Sullivan, 111., is visiting with her daughter, Mrs. Dr. Link. Mother Gossip, of Rensselaer, has her tongue employed most of the time in relating strange tales of ■ this one and that one. She is a harmless old creature, and it is well that her influence is small. •If you amoke, try tha cigars at the post-office lobby. They are the BERT. Buy your Groceries of C. C.
