It is important to take goad care
of the teeth. If they are allowed to
decay, eood-eannot be well chewed, in
results, and the laedy is not
properly nourished. The bony parts
of the jaws which hold the teeth in
place are absorbed atter the teeth fall
out, and allow the cheeks to siek in,
which makes the face look long and
• thin,
Dentaleeay is caused by fermen-
tation of small particles of food which
are permitted to remain in the crevices
between the teeth. The fermeetation
is due to bacteria a,ad results in the
fermentation of acids which dissolve
e lime salts of the teeth. The hard,
white, outside coating of the teeth,
known as the enamel, is first attack-
ed. This is destroyed at spots where
the food is lodged, and the softer in-
terior of the isioth is exposed. This
is rapidly eaten away, and a cavity is
formed which increases in size mitil
only a hollow shell of enamel remains.
The Nerves --Tho nerves of the
teeth are extremely sensitive, and se-
vere- pain or toothache is produced
When dental decay extends into the
tooth. An abscess or gumboil may
form at the root of a tooth. This
causes a throbbing pain'swelling and
It, fever. Iustia.11y breaks through the
gum and discharges pus which re-
lieves the pain but does not save the
tooth. Occasionally pus organisms are
ebeorbed into the blood and blood -
poisoning ensues, or small quantities
of poisonous material are constantly
taken into the blood and lower vitality
and lessen the resisting /rower of the
body to diseases.
Loss of Teeth—An unclean mouth
makes a home for small organisms,
which are the cause of pyorrhoea. In
this disease there is inflammation of
the gums, which become soft, swollen,
and bleed easily. The disease extends
around the roots of the teeth, pus
oozes from their sockets, they are
loosened, and ultimately fall out. The
process may take a number of years,
but more than half of the permanent
teeth are lost in this way.
Other Dangers—Au unclean condi-
tion of the mouth renders the person
liable to catch cold, to attacks of in-
• fluenza, •bronchitis and pradumenia.
Headaches and neuralgic pains are
often due to bad teeth. Many cases
- ___segiag___g_gehh..teepeehgeeeee-tetisrre result from
the abserption of poison from the
mouth, and disappear when the dis-
eased conditions in the mouth are rem-
• edied. The same poleons oeten lead
o sore throat, inflammation of the
• tonsils, disease of -the eye and ear,
and disordered digestion.
• Cleansing—The teeth should be.
cleaned with a toothbrush at least
once a day—twice is better—and care
Should be taken that all particles of
food are removed, Wooden and metal
toetlipicks should not be used, as the
•gurns are liable to be injured, which
may be followed by inflammation and
• absorption of teptie products. Quill
toothpicks are less objectionable, but
should be employed with care. When
brushing the teeth, a small quantity
of tooth powder should be placed upon
the brush.
• When tooth powder is not available
powdered chalk earl be used for cleans-
• ins the teeth.

TAKE CARE• OF YOUR BOOKS,
It ia a mistake to pack books too
tightly on shelves. They should be
loose enough to be withdrawn easily
by placing a finger and thumb on
either side.
Avoid dusting the tops of the books
with a duster, which only, rubs the
dirt between the edges of the paper ---
especially if it happens to be a little
rough. Take two hooks in your hands1
and gently clap them together so thati
the duet flies out. If the edges of the
leaves beeome soiled the marks can be
renkeved by rubbing them gently with
a little pumice powder. This plan
should not be followed when a book
has gilt edges. In such cases a slight-
ly damp cloth may be used.
Marks—unless they are caused by
grease • on the pages of the books
should be rubbed lightly with a soft
pencil eraser. To remove grease spots
benzine elsould be applied with a camel
hair brush.. The spirit should not, of
'course, be used where there is a naked
light, as it is highly inflammable. Ap-
ply the benzine and, after a moment,
press the spot with clean white blot-
ting paper. Repeat the process until
all trace of the grease has disappeared.
1 A GREEK GIRL'S EARRINGS.
; Not so long ago particular women
did not wear earrings; the thing was
not done." But fashion has danced
round again, and now the earring is
as common an article of jewelry as
the bracelet, Few if any of the mod-
ern trinkets can surpass in taste and
dehcacy the earrings of I3iote, the
daughter of the famous Greek phil-
osopher Aristotle, which were found
in Chaleis, where the young woman
was buried.
The ornaments represented doves
swinging in golden hoops. The minia-
ture birds were marvelously wrought;
the feathers were of granulated gold;
the wings and breast were enriched
with bands of color supplied by in-
serted gems, and precious stones
gRiaanetteifiteatinee-sporksafeer -the ..3.M
Daintiest of all, the tail feathers were
so finely made and curiously adjusted
as to move at the slightest motion of
the pendant loop, so that whenever
the proud wearer tossed her head the
two attendant doves seemed to balance
themselves upon their perehes as live
birds balance thernseives when swing-
ing on a bough.

"Coo-ee! Coo-ee! Merry Christmas,
en!"
The three men carne at a rune
"Merry Christmatz, ladies. It will
be, sines you're coming."
"Take them up same elothee for
the party, Richardson."
About noon the ladies, dressed in
their best, grossed the gully. leuby
and eteIla joined Richardson and Car-
ter in the cooking while Molly and
Lane walked aeroes to the Eastern
Republic. They found the Millioneire
and the Flapper seated on the sand;
both parties called out lustily.
"A merry Christznae." "And a fair
ethrt for the New Year," the Million-
aire suggested.
"From to -day," Lane added, "I've
brought these clothes for a Santa
Claus, you. know. You never had a
fair share. The ladies are coming over
to dinner with us, and we didn't know
if you'd come, you aid your missus?"
"His missus!" the •Flapper cried,
with a hot face. "I am not -that, Lane!
I am just his little girl. •When we get
off here—then-----" She smiled at the
Millionaire.
"Then," he said, "I shall aSk her to
be • my sweetheart—and my wife.
That's the true size of it, Lane."
Molly hugged the Flapper to her.
When the Millionaire had put on
his new suit—it was large for hint,
and heeturned up the leg of the trou-
sers, and the Flapper tacked back the
coat sleeves—and the Millionairess-
elect had donned her white overalls,
with pink beads round the neck, they
returned down the hills, carrying the
present of fish, and sufficient extra
crockery and cutlery for the two ex-
tra. The others left the cooking for a
moment to greet them.
• They had a merry dinner. • Then the
ladies washed up while the men
smoked, and discussed the possibility
of erecting a higher flagstaff to at-
tract passing vessels,
"Have to be blown off their route,"
Richardson warned timer. "We're off
the track. •Can't say Pm in any par-
ticular hurry to get away myself; but
the stores are corning to an end, and
we've got to think of the ladies. it's
a hard life for them. Miss Green was
proposing that we'd take a walk over
for you to see their tent. The cave,
was a better place for them, bute--I
well; Lane's told you how it happened.
You were right, and wrong. If a man
cares enough for a woman, she's all
right. Like Missie—grown a fine
young lady, sir, and you and she won't
be sorry to get off the place. It's dif-
ferent with us chaps We haven't the
same to look forward to. 13ut, of
course, we hope for the best for the
ladies, and that's a ship soon."
"Aye!" Carter agreed.
Late nodded,
They walked over to the "quarters,"
and then took a long ramble back
round by the nortli shore and the hills.
During the ramble they drifted apart
inwpairs.
Richardson. -and Reibleeat—createif on al
rock at the corner of Flatfish Bay, and
watched the green water lapping
round the bowlders.
"It's good of you to sit here and
talk to me," he told her. "As you
said, it's the Christmas of some peo-
ple's lives; and I'm one of them!, And
out of it, the part ril forget last will
be sitting here with Tote"
"`I dare say," Miss Green obseeved
"I, too, ehalI reale/a:213er it"
"But I shall remember it all my
life," he stated/' and the time that I
was privileged to be raised out of my
station by the company of a lady like
you. 'Which will be ended when a ship
cornes—.-I hope for your sake it will be
soon—and we leave the -island—and
one another.. Sometimes, I think my
heart will nearly break."
, "I'd break mine first!" cried Miss
Green. "If you left me I—I'm not,,
sure that I shouldn't. But, of course,
if you want to gol"
‘I gather' that you don't," she ob-
served after an inarticulate interval.
"It evill be a comedown for you,. my
dear," he said brokenly, "bet Pll fight
to rise, and make it as little comedown
for you as I can."
"I know," she acknowledged softly,
"I know. We'll be all right. Don't
evorry, dear boy. We'll be all right."
They were an hour late for tea, but
so were most of the others.
The latenees Carter and Stella
Raikee occurred in this way. They
got lost in the bushy ground upon the
unfamiliar northeast, and Miss' Raikee
thought that she saw a make, and
was frightened and held to her earl-
pation's arrn. They walked fot
some time like thie, and then she
eareamed and clung to him.
"IniSo frightened!" 8he cried,
"rrighteeed of those little snakes!"
he protested,
"No ehe told him; "of somethin

much bigger!" ,
"Mel" he ga8ped'. "Me!" She nod-
ded. "Miesie, you haven't eatise to be.

"I—I doe't lillek/ want to go," 'she
confessed, still clinging to him.
I'm frightened. of myseui, too"
Afterward:elle confe,ssed that she
hadn't seen any erfake, and she hadn't
been frightened at all. She had lain
awake all night, and had made 1111

Mind that! We'll get along all right

Carter refused to consider himself a
poor fellow. He was luckier than the
King of --"Well, any Place that has a
king! You know Mere about them than
I do and you'll be able to teach ale,
and learn better than you expect.
I'd do anything for you!"
They were aleo an hour late for tea,
Lane and Miss Brien wandered
about rather aimlessly, and were un-
able to explain exactly where they had
been. She made feeble attempts at
conversation. He only iooked at her
and sighed. Preently ehe caught at
him and stopped him.
"Oh!" she cried. "Don't, keep look-
ing at me like that. 8ay it!"
"I can't," he told her, "and you
know what it is, and why I can't—a
poor sailer chap, and not fit to black
your shoes."
• The gird put one soft little hand on
each of his big shoulders and looked
him fairly in the eyes.
"If you knew what I really think of
you," she whispered. • "I don't know
what You want to say, of -Course, but -
1 do! You may say itt"
• They were Tefy late for tea..
The Millionaire and the Flapper
were Only half an hohr late. They
prepared the meal while they enaited
for, the others. Then they sat down
and talked about their future. She was
to have exactly the house she wanted,
he told_ her,.and furnish it just as she
liked, and he would teach her to drive
a motor, and she should have her own
;little car, and call it what she erlased.
• "Eric?" she suggested. "But I think
keep that name for you. You find
a name for me. I like things best
when you do them for me* a very
short name." •
"Pat," he 'thought. •
"Yes, that's it. I iay, Erie? We'll
be all right when we get off, but how
about the others? What are you going
to do for them?"
"What you tell me to, I expect."
"Of course! But you tell me what
to tell you!"
"I think," he advised, "if I give the
men:a fair start and enough to marry
decently on—nature will do the rest."
• "Ye -es! That's some one coming,
darling. Take your arm away. I don't
think it matters, though, Look at
them'. Wicked old nature has been do-
ing it. They're lea -ring go, Eric, So
you'd better. There's Stella and Car-
ter, too. This ought to be called Love
Island! Ohl You tz a ughty people!
Molly! You, tool Aren't we all happy,
dears? Now we'll have tea. Eric,
you have lea bee asierser ter „both of us.
Make a nice little speeele"
The IVIillionaire rose with cup in 1
hand.
"Love Isla -tell" he proposed. "May
we soon have a ship to take us away,
or a wreck to east a parson ashore!"
Early in the New Year Providence
sent a ship. There was no parson
aboard, but they soon found one when
they landed, and gave him four jobs!
The Millionaire has bought a yacht,
and, if business will let him get away
(his merry young wife says it will!)
he is taking them all on a trip next
Christmas time to Love Island.
(The End.)
Nothing Left.
An elderly man who knew some-
thing at law lived in an Irish Tillage
where no solicitor practised. He was
in the habit ef arranging the disputes
ef his neighbors aild making their
wills for them.
At an early hour . ae moraing he
was areased from his slumbers by a
loud knocing at his door, and, putting
his head out of the wMtiow, he asked
who was there.
"It's me, Patsy Flaherty, 'Tie tne-
Self couldn't got a wink of eleep, think-
ing of the will I have macle!"
"What's the matter with the will?"
ased tho amateur lawyer.
"Matter, hideedl" replied Pat, "Sure,
Pee not left Me,self so much as a
three-Iegged stool to sit down upon!"
'
Just as some men are too dull for
their jobs, eo others are too t.lever.—
