once thought so stupid, a last look at
a the walls that had frowned on his fro-
,I;ward lopes, perhaps a last word with
tVirginia. And then? The river --a sleep

N At the tree where the knowledge of
this love and powerfirst came to him he
}paused. His arms were loosely folded

• and grieved as those of a beaten animal
thoroughly cowed.

idow was raised, and she stood with her
€body pressed against the glass, her hands

With a yearning sob Tom made a

Age alone gives value to but very few

idea that if a book was printed hong ago -
it must necessarily bo valuable, and.
what is curious, different people differ
as to the dates that make a book old.
Moore are those who fancy that avolume
printed 100 years ago must be esteemed
very old and very rare and very valu-
able. Others show yon with pride a.
Hudibras printed -we will say-i_a 1750.

eye teeth between fourteen and twenty

teen ants thirty six mouths. Collective-
ly these are called the milk teeth. There
never was a periutl in the history of
medical or surgical dentistry when so
much attention was given to the tempo-
aal•y•or milk teeth as at present: Not
only are the teeth of toddlers and chil-
dren filled, but they are straightened,
cleaned and, when needed, loosened to
facilitate the perfection of the second

lower jaw are cut, as a rule, two or
three months before those in the upper
jaw.
The homily dentist is rapidly becoming
as popular and indispensable in well
conducted households us the family phy-
sician. It costs conhparativeiy little to
have each Member make one visit a
month to e surgeon who examines the
mouth dull puts it in a healthyy condi
tiou. Not only are the teeth cleaned,
.oat the gurus are treated and a tainted
breath corrected. These consultations
pay ea the long run, for, aside froin a
saving of expense in the ureventiou of
.deeny,er disease. much needless pain is
saved the patient.
'There -are a few rales for the care of
the teeth and gums that all skilled prac-
titioners endorse.
Avoid extreme temperatures. Even
the :strougest dentine may be injured
with eery .hot or cold foods. - Breathe
through the nose or else cover the mouth
in very ,cold weather.
Cleanse the mouth night and morning
with a ;soft brush and tepid water,
Brush from the gums towards the cut-
ting edges. The common practice of
brushiug eatesswi'e does the teeth little
good and the:gums much harm, leaking
them eons .duel, if the brush is stiff,
i causing thein to recede. Particles of
food get between the teeth and must be
• removed by local attention.
Rinse the mouth atter eating. ,Use a
' quill if necessary, but passing waxed silk
between the teeth is a surer way to free
them from deposits.
1 A teaspoonful of listerine in one-half
!ttiusis a „lass of cool water is an excellent
infectant. Used as a gargle three
times a day, it will cure sore or loose
ga.
All scented soaps and fancy dentifrices
are to be avoided. The alkali in the
soap is injurious to the gums, and, un-
: less the formula of the dentifrice is
known, it is worthy of suspicion. Pow-
dered c:hatcoal is as mischievous as the
pins so many people ignorantly use. No
; matter how finely it is powdered, there
' is always just one particle to be feared
that inay cut the gums or aerate/a the
enamel. There is nothing better than
precipitated Sheik. It is cleansing, ab-
solutely harmless, very inexpensive,
and, flavored with wintergreen, mint or
orris, it is a refreshing and agreeable
tooth powder. It is not advisable to use
than flus more t1 an three times a week.
; The gums are sensitive, and frequent or
hard brushing is not desirable. Mouth -
riming and the use of dental silk should
follow every meal or repast.
• All liquid medicines and acid drinks
should be taken from a medicine spoon,
glass tube or straw and the mouth rinsed
with a weak solution of soda or Listerine.
People who use their teeth. to crack
nuts, drew corks, cut twine, etc., are to
be pitied.

We inay observe that it really depends
on the state of the atmosphere Its to
whether the stalk goes to the middle or
not.
It is a sign of fair weather .if the clus-
ters of air bubbles, which penally rise
after the sugar has been put in. collect
themselves and remain in the centre of
the cup. lf, on the contrary, they
straggle to the sides, it is a sign that it
will certainly rain in a few hours.
This cluster of bubbles is also called a
kiss, and portends that the owner will
thus be saluted during the course of the
d1ay.
A cluster of tea -leaves with a few
stragglers at the front at the bottom of
the cup signifies a heaise or a funeral,
while the couple of leaves at the bot-°
tons, if close . together, signify a wedd-
ing.
If the tea grounds take the form 8f a
woman on the side of the .cup, it signs .
lies a rival in love; if it Iooks like a
bird, it means news from a distant
friend; if it looks like a book, it refers
to a well-known acquaintance who is at
college; if it looks like a tree, i£ means
soon taking a journey into the country;
if two stalks come together, it means
that you are to meet a Ulan ; if it looks
like a snake, it is an eheuiy.
If it is a dog yon will meet or hear
from a friend: if it looks like a house
or a shed, it means that when you are•
married you will keep house for your
self. and not board; if it looks like a
spire, it means that you will be married
in church; if it looks like a duck or a
swan, it means that you will cross the
ocean; if it looks like a bridge, it id an'
understood sign 'that your marriage
will be happy and your life long and
sweet.
If it looks like a man fishing with a
rod, it points to a preacher. who may
either officiate at your marriage or be-
come your husband; if it looks like a
man with many spots lying before him,
it means that your husband will be rich,
and may be a banker; if abroken bridge
turns up on one gide of the cup, it means
.that your marriage will be unhappy.
If there are undulations on the other°
side of thio cup, some faint and some
heavier, it means a checkered life or a
career of struggle, sometimes light and
sometime.; severe.

LIMO Water.
To make lime water put about a pound
of unslacked line in a large bowl, pour
over this three quarts of boiling water.
let it stand for ten minutes, then stir
well with astick. Place the bowl in 'a
cool place for'eight or ten honrs; at the
end of that time pour off the clear water,
letting the sediment remain in the bot-
tom of the bowl. Bottle the clear Water
and keep in a convenient place. A table;
spoonful of this may be added to a glass
of milk to be given to a patient with an
acid stomach.
In case of burns cover the burned
'parts with as cloth wet in lime -water.
Keep the cloth wet by pouring on a'

A Marvelous Time Recorder. y
One of the most wonderful machines
in these days of miraculous mechanism
ie the chronoscope. - It took form under
the skillful .hands of Wheatstone, the
mathematician, who needed au instru-
ment to measure smaller . intervals of
time than his clock or watch could in-
dicate. Many improvements have Leen
made in the ohronoscope since Wheat-
stone patented it in 1840, and now the
machine is employed to measure the
flight of projectiles. from a gun. So ac-
curate is it that it will detect and record
a difference of time amountiug to a mill-
ionth part of 0 second and, electricity
being.used in recording the passage of a
projectile, it is possible to determine
to a very small fraction the rate of speed
with which a shod flies from a gun. -
