An ominent English dentist proteste against the present extravagant waste of human teeth by surgeons and incompetent dentist:, and declares that while there are, maybe, sufficient reasons for extracting a tooth, it is never necessary to do so merely to relieve pain. In at least 90 per cent. of the cases coming to an active dentist, pains in the teeth are due to what may be called primary and eecondary toothache. Primary toothache, the pain of which is oftener felt in the nerve terminals in the face than in tho tooth itself, is congestion of the tooth pulp, and it may be relieved very eesily by careful excavation, aaffieient to allow an escape ok blood from the pulp, which may then be devitalized by an arsenicel arose- ing. To complete the operation, which may be postponed for weeks without further inconvenience, the pulp must be removed from the root canals and these filled to the apex. Secondary toothache, or alveolar abscess, is caused by gangrene of the pulp, and is regarded by most surgeons as to serious as to call for the removal of the tooth, which, in nine cases out of ten, might be retained and made useful and comfor'table. The course of treatment is an opening to the pulp to relieve the pain, followed by a series of antiseeptic dressings in tho roots to cleanee them from all puree - cent metter, and then, as in the other case, Ming them to the apex.—New York Com- mercial Advertiser. A Well -Made Bed. It is well known that many persone, par- ticularly childreit, are reetless after retir- ing. In the morning sheets and bed quilts are ashew and the bed in anything but a comfortable condition. And then perhaps the remark is heard, " How I wieh the bed- clothes were buttoned, or nailed down, or fixed some way eo that they would stay where they belong." But the bed if made properly will always stay right, rays an exchange. Turn the lower sheet well under at the head of the bed. Turn under a foot at least. It does not make any differenoe whether the sheet is tucleed in at the bottoni or not. The strain on it always comes from the head of the bed downward. Per contra the strain on clothes over a sleeper conies from the opposite direction. Hence they need to be well tucked in at the bottom. Tuck in all clothes, both upper and under, along the sides. But the main point ia that the under olothee should be well turned in at the top and the upper ones at the bottom. That is the secret of making them day where they belong, no matter how restless the occupants are. This is the theory and I have often proved it in practice. A. Maid On Marriage. Miss Francie E. Willard gives her views on marriage as follows: "My theory of .marriage in its relation to eoeiety would give this postulate: Husband and wife are one, and that one is—husband and wife. I believe they will never come to the heights of purity, of power and peace for which they were designed in Heaven until this better law prevails. One undivided half of the world for wife and husband equally'cmedneation to mate them on the plane of mind; equal property rights to make her God's own free woman, not coerced into marriage for the sake of sup- port nor a bond -slave after she is married. . . woman left free to go her honored and self-respecting way as a maiden in perpetuo rather than marry a men whose sieteriore.tion through the alcohol and nico- tine habits is a, deadly menace to herself and the descendants that such a marriage has invoked. These are the out -looks of a future that shall make the marriage sys- tem, never a failure after it became moue- ' gamous, and assured a permanent, a para- disaical success." The Germans in Paris. Frenchmen are weleing up to the fact that the German colony in beloved Paris is rapidly increasing. There are nearly 36,000 of them—in other words twelve persons out of every thousand a the population are Germans. The total has doubled in the last ten or eleven years, and is more than double that of the British, who are just under 15,000 strong, The English have their own quarters, but the Germans dis- tribute themeelves over every arrondisse- ment. —Paris Letter. Sparrows and Larks. As our poor folk and macaroni restaurant diners eat sparrows in New York, so are larks eaten in London. In that city dead larks of the value of close upon e12,500 are annually disposed of, and this, taking the all round wholesale price at fifty cents per dozen—whioh is probably below rather than above the mark—gives a grand total of no less than 300,000 of these birds for London alone.—Chatter.

The flower of the family uodally bloom! in the Oiled°, TWO STOUT STREET, Elevated and underground railways have done moll to relieve the congested condition of traffic) on the busy etreete of large oities, yet the orowding re. waiting from the great pressure of bush neseseeins to go on increasing, until the nundoipal authorities of the larger cities have begun to look around for some other means of relief. The Engineering and Building Record some time ago suggested the idea of elevated sidewalks for certain parte of New York, and since then the idea has been elaborated in e penaphlet entitled " The Future Street of Great °Mee," recently published at Munich by 11. Roeenbuech. Mr. Rosenbusch makes the following propositiona : First, that the present arrangements in the streets of large cities no longer correspond to modern requirements of safety and convenience. Second, that for the development of new ideas in architecture, eventually resulting in new arohiteotural forms, it is, above all, necessary to break with the present antiquated mode of arranging our streets; and third, that the result of the acceptance of the two preceding propositions will be the development of streets in two stories and 'a sharp demarcation between vehicular and foot traffic,. The ques- tion is then asked as to why the roadway of tlae street should be higher than the basement floor a adjoining build- ings, and the greater convenience of having the roadway at the same level ie set forth. The author then goes on to explain that the etreete can be altered either by lower- ing the roadway to the level of the present basements, leaving the present sidewalks where they are, or the sidewallte cm be elevated, leaving the roadway undisturbed, connection between the two to be main- tained in either case by stairs; or, we may add, this could he done by the elevators in the adjacent buildings. The following, are mentioned as among the advanteges of the arrangement : The busineeses carried on at the levels of the roadway and footway, respectively, eau have the meet direct connection with the traffic chiefly concerned (for instance, most wholesale buoinesses would naturally seek the roadway, and the retail business tine footway); there will be granter safety for foot passengers and emcees to both public and private buildings will be more convenient; the supply of eleotricity, compressed air. water and gas can be more readily furnished, and sewerage wilt be feoilitated, eepecially on new streets; finally, a "wide field will be opened to the arehitect " in the 'most manifold develop- ment of architecture' construction, which will relieve the monotonous nniforraity of modern streets." The author thinks that existing streets can be easily altered to the new plan' which le true, if ie is a mere matter ofadding elevated feotwaes, lent thaplan whioh he seems to prefer, of lower- ing the roadway to the basement level, would be a tremendous undertak- ing in an old city, where alone such an arrangement would be needed. " But however we may differ," says the Record, " from some of the views advanced by Herr Rosenbuech as to tbo feasibility or advisability 01 certain feeturee of his " Street of the Future," he is certainly working in the right direction, and we believe that sooner or later the advantage of the eievated eidewalk in obviating many of the dangere and discomfoete incident to such a condition of things as prevails in the lower part of New York, end meas- urably in other large cities, will lead to their general adoption, while the convenient communication which they afford with the elevated roads is not their least important feature." The accomplishenerat of such an undertaking as tint outlined seems almost an impossibility, yet as impossible things have been undertaken and carried out, and the day may not be far distant when storied streets will be common in the crowded cities. A. Woman's 'Way. A woman wage.earner who worke from 8 in the morning until 6 at night and °cap sionally finds herself too weary to sleep, takes down her hair at 10 o'clock, brushes it vigorously, washes her face, neck and arms with lukewarm water, takes a crash towel bath and goes to bed, with a hot water bag at her feet.

Tann are thirty thoneand children of school age in Chicago who cannot find room in the school house, and the half- time system is therefore very prevalent. A. teacher writes that there are between three and four thousand children too poor to go to school, having neither shooa nor clothing. Of the thousands of little people vvho enter the first grade at six years of age very few are found in the third grade. They are taken out and put to work in factories and workshop, or as cash boys or girls ; and while there are from eix to ten first grade rooms in each school in Chicago overcrowded, the upper grade Moms are almost without occupants; and so few out of the great numbers that enter school reach the "high sohool" that tho question has been raffled SD to the advisability of continuing so expensive an inatitution wheal so few reileive the benefit df it Chicago ia situated in a country that has had the benefit of a high proteotive tarift for nearly thirty years. Oat TatelPERANVE, he Advice of fSeveral Welt Known Speakers on the Subject. Last evening, notwithstanding the lafost and consequent diecomfort in a °warded auditorium, a large audience aesembled in Gore Street Church, the ooetteioa being the delivering of addresses by eeverai well- known temperance orators. On the plat. form were Rev. John Kay, Brantford, President of the conference ; Rev. William Kettlewell, Oakville; Rev. D. W. Snider, Merriam ; Dr. Lowrey, of 13rantford, and Rev. J. Pickering, The platform end pulpit were profusely decorated with flowers and plants. Rev. D. W. Snider was the firet speaker and gave c vivid dieoription of the evils of the liquor trafdoe stating that it was the cause of more sorrow and greater woe than war or pestilence or famine. He thought the time had come when men had either steeled their hearts against tlae sufferers from the drink trafao or elee had grown indifferent from despair. He quoted insurance statistics in sup- port of the contention that the life of a total abstainer was longer by twenty years than that of a moderate drinker. By the same means he proved that total abstainers procured insurance cheaper by this longevity. He also thought that the liquor traffic was not, comparatively speaking, an employee of labor. The annual returns of a large brewing company in England showed a profit of £33,000 with an outlay of £16,000 for labor. A boot and shoe merchant of London had proved that in his business to produce the same profit it would re- quire the outlay of £324,000. The speaker thought prohibition meant a large increase in the national wealth. He then went on to find the liquor traffic guilty of in- numerable crimes, such as theft, arson and murder. In urging upon those present the necessity for total prohibition he stated that in this country anndally e6,000,000 is loet to the people thrcugh the curse of intemperanoe. Dr. Lowry, of Brantford, then addressed the meeting at some length, confining his remarks ohiefly to the legisla- tive side of the question. He said : "As far as the Soott Aet is concerned, it was discouraging the way they carried it, it was dispiriting the way they enforced it and it was disgusting the way the people tepealecl it." (Laughter,) The speaker then mita:deed the variousarguments of the Anti -Scott Act party against the temper- ance measure, and called on temperance people to voto on principle and not for party. He said : "Governments will give us tons of legislation end but ounces of enforcement. But we have had some good legislation, however. The Crooks Act is one of the finest and beat license laws in exietence, and the amendments introduced at the last session have largely added to its efficiency. Although the Ontario Govern. talent is one of the best Government the sun has ever shone on, still there is room for improvement. I think the only solution of the great problem of intemperance ie com- pensation to the liquor dealers. If we can- not tight them out, let us buy them out, like Great Britain did the elave-dealers." Rev. W. Kettlewell was then called on, and made a very eloquent appeal to the andieece to stay home and not vote for either party to -day, as they were bath eup- porters of the license system. He then gave a graphic portrayal of the various ills attendant on the love of strong drink, and particularly in reference to the repeal of the Scott Act. llow to Keep Tour Skin Nioe. Yon want to keep your skin nice all summer? Well, then, here are some rules for you : Don't bathe in hard water ; soften it with a few drops of ammonia or a little borax. Don't bathe your face while it is very warm and never use very cold water for it. Don't wash your face when your are traveling, tinlees it is with a little alcohol and water or a little vaseline. Don't attempt to remove dust with cold water; give youreace a hot bath,using plenty of good soap; then give it a thorough riming with water that has had the chill taken off it.. Don't rub your face with a coarse bowel; just remember it is not made of cast iron and trent it as you would the finest prow. Iain -.-gently and delicately. Don't use a sponge or linen rag for your face; choose instead a flannel one. Don't believe you can get rid of wrinales by filling in the crevices with powder. Instead, give your face a Russian bath every night—that ie, bathe it with water so hot that you wonder how you can stand it, and then a minute after with cold water that will make it glow with warmth ; dry it with a soft towel and go to bed and you ought to sleep like a baby, while your skin/ is growing firmer and coming from out of the wrinkles.—New York Sun. Running a Coal Stove. A coal stove should never be filled up with coal higher than the fire brick, and a little lower is better. Never put wood on top of coal if you wish a good, clean fire. Weed 'toiles rattling down through the hard coal fire are not an improvement. No dead ashes or clinkers should be allowed on the grate or under it either. An ash pit under the boiler, if allowed to fill with ashes, will reflect so much heat against the grate that it will soon wear out and fall to pieces. The same will take place in the hot stove as well as in the steam boiler. If the object to run a fire is to burn out ,as much coal as poseible then fill it full, even go that the covers will not go down. This arrangement will born the greatest possi- ble quantity of coal in the least amount of time ; to obtain directly ,opposite results, keep a clean fire in the fire.box about two- thirds full of coal. Etiquette on the Street. When two gentlemen are walking with one lady the one takes the out and the other the inside, that keeping her between them. When one gentleman ia walking with two ladies, he places himself between them. When a gentleman desires to speak to a lady who is passing, he may if he be a friend and alone, aceoet her, but he must not detain her. Instead, let him walk with her in the direction whither she is going, and when he has done, leave her with a bow and mile, raising his hat as he retreats. It is no longer thought need- ful for e gentleman to keep himself per- petuelly on the outer side by ohanging eidee at every corner. Stich a habit savors of etiffnese glad is too marked a concession to form. Gentlemen may take the inside when it would seem awkward to do other- wise, but the outside is preferred for them. —Philadelphia Saturday Ilerald. linder Allowance.
