A DENTIST OX TUB PKESER VJ.TXQW Off THE TEETH. "Doctor, are not a pi eat many teeth ruined by haviag-tUo enamel worn ofl with tooth-powtler ?" .."No; that is a wot pernicious fallacy. I -vii all this world knew th truth that the enamel a tooth cannot be worn off with a brush and any kind of tooth-powder; not if it were scrubbed five hours n day for 150 years. More teeth are ruined by a fear of scouring them than by all other causes put together. The best waj- in the world, to preserve a tooth is to keep it

higMy polished; then no foreign sub RtdhA adheres to it. These adhesions and gradual rustings are what destroy teeth. It you wish to keep a piece of steel yu polish it. If you do not it will rust away. It is precisely the samf with a tooth. The. only danger thic can arise from the use of the Highest tooth-powders is that they may injure the gums. Charcoal is full of little, sharp slivers, that get under the gums 01 cut into them and cause trouble; and grains of salt, you know, have very sharp edges and corners. Cuttlebone tooth-powders are the best, I think. But by all means keep the teeth clean and highly polished. That reminds me," continued the dentist, "a handsome and well-dressed lady came here yesterday and wished her teeth ' fixed up.' I looked into her mouth and saw about the foulest chasm I ever gazed on. Why, it was worse than a sewer. I told her I would give her a prescription, and when she had used it thoroughly for a week I would see her again. The prescription was for a toothbrush and a box of powder. Doubtless she was vexed when the druggist ( compounded ' it, but it was what she most needed, nevertheless." "I have heard that many medicines given by the physicians injure the teeth. Is that true, doctor?" "No, not to any considerable extent, m tell you where that idea comes from. You know, when a person is sick he is not so apt to clean his teeth as when He is well. That is one trouble but a greater is that the teeth are not used much. Sick persons eat but little, usually, and what they do eat is often in the form of pastes or gruels, that do not demand much chewing. Now, the teeth are like any other part of the person ; if they are unused they become soft and more subject to the decaying influences. Put your arm in a sling for a month and the muscles and whole member will become soft and flabby. So with a tooth that is not used for some time. Now, when a tooth is growing soft each day, and it is not being cleaned as often as it was when it needed cleaning less, of course it rapidly decays. This is why the medicines are charged with the destruction. Chicago Heratd. MEXXCAX AGRICULTURE, An exchange says : In Mexico millions of bushels of corn and wheat are raised, and, as nearly all cultivation of soil is done by irrigation, crops are much more certain than in our country. The plows used are the wooden ones (pictures of which may be seen by referring to any cut illustrative of the manner of cultivating the soil in Egypt about the time of the exodus), made of a straight piece of mesquito timber, a yard long, pointed at one end and wedge-shaped at the bottom. On top of this set at angle of, say, 25 degrees, along pole, which, going forward, is attached to a cross-bar, which is tied to the horns of oxen ; on the rear end a single upright stick serves for the handles, by which the peon guides his plow. "With this very primitive instrument the husbandman plows a gutter about three inches deep and five inches broad at the top, and his work, except sowing and covering, is done. When the wheat is cut, and housed, and stacked (and this is done in April and May), it is spread upon an adobe floor surrounded by a wall of adobe six feet high, and upon this are turned in a number of wild horses from the range. Young boys keep them running around until the grain is trodden out, and then the mass is thrown upon another floor on a level with the top of the wall. Here it is cast up with wooden paddles in the air, and the grain separated from the straw and chaff by the wind. Nearly all of the food eaten by the thousands of people in this country consists of grain. There are no small mills, very few mills of any size, and no mills for grinding corn. All of the poor and most of the well-to-do eat corn, and to reduce it to meal they must, each one for his own family, pound the corn with one rock upon another. One of our little plantation mills would in a day make as much meal as ten Mexican women with their matates would in a week. Does not this promise well for the introduction of our threshers and small horse-power mills and cornshellers? Remember, too, that all industrial machinery enters Mexico free of duty. Whenever you commend, add your reasons for doing so. It is this which distinguishes the appiebation of a man of sense from the flattary of sycophants and admiration of fools. Steel.
