Uioally no call Is made upon the dentist,
except for an aching tooth too far gone for
any remedy but extraction. Ruch parents
can hardly lo made to see the benefits to be
! derived from the filling of such temporary
teeth. To them let trie UaO the words of a
dentist: "Attend to them, because they need
them for daily u.-kj. Attend to them, because
; in so doing we shall prevent much pain and
i sickness. Attend to them, because by these
! means the nutritive processes will be carried
on better, and tho health, growth and devel
opment of the child will be better than it
would be without them. Tho care and atten
tion bestowed 114 -on the deciduous teeth will
help the regularity and development of the
permanent." Weak nutrition produces soft
tectli.
We fchould extend the saving principle to
1 the temjiorary teeth, und attempt to restore
them when di.seu.scd, in order to retain them
fts long as nature has use for them. Prema
ture removal may cause irregularity in the
permanent by tho contraction of tho jaw,
also if retained too long after they have
fjrown Useless to mother nuture, they may
cause irregularity in the jiernianeut; so wise
parents w ill consult their dentist at the first

Wouldn't I.Uteu to Gontlp.
Mrs. Chase, of w hom the story was told, was
n wise woman; he had liscovei-el early in
life that there are some gossips anil scandal
mongers who cannot le suppressed by polite
menus, but whose disagreeable stock in trade
must bo poiiiti.iily ignoroiL Therefore, when
a malicious story was mentioned in her pres
enile sho became conveniently deaf.
One day a woman much older than herself,
whom sho would gladly have treated with
respect, confided to her u choice bit of social
scandal. Mrs. Chaso impassively sewed on
and said nothing.
"Well, w hat do you think of it, my dear?"
asked the tale bearer, imiuttiently. "Oughtn't
they to be ashamed to live in the stylo they
do when they actually haven't enough to pay
their debts."
Mrs. Chase held up her work and gazed at
it in absorbed interest.
"Xo-.v would you make this rose white or
pink?1 she a&ked, innocently.
"Don't try to change tho subject," re
torted the other. "If you don't want to ex
press an opinion you needn't, but you can
say anything to nie, you know. I shan't re
peat it."
"Do you know," said Mi-s. Chase, in an ap
parent burst of confidence, "I really didn't
hear a word you said! Years ago I began
the practice of trying to think of something
else as soon as people attempt to gossip, and
I've succeeded so well that now I can really
make myself stone deaf to what I ought not
to hear."
Tho recipient of this confidence was, as a
matter of course, offended, but she had
learned her lesson; never again did she pour
unwelcome news into those deaf ears.
Youth's Companion.
Marriage in Haste.
The recklessness with which tho admirer
of a pretty face and nimble tongue elects her
to tho position of arbiter of his and his chil
dren's destinies, is the most monstrous
obstacle in advance of tho race toward per
fectibility. A man chooses his dentist with care; be
will not engage a groom w ho has no creden
tials beyond a neat figure and glib utterance;
he pays for the "search" that establishes the
validity of his title to his house; and, when
it is bought, has an expert to look into
drainage and plumbing; he will not buy a
boree or dog unless he knows something of
his pedigree and points. He will, and does,
fall iti hne with a girl's neat ankles and
bewitching lisp, and await the honest "first
year" of married life to find out that sho has
nothing but fixed air and fi-oth in her head,
710 trongth of any kind anywhere except
what Iks iu a. ir,ijhj liko pertinacity to her
own petty purposes, that "mocks, at reason,
and will none of argument. Tho mobt un
manageable force in nature is a fool. And,
as a taper looses nothing of brightness in
igniting a dozen other taeis, the foolish
jvifu and mother, iu multiplying her folly
through her progeny, grows rather than
diminishes iu assijiinity in entering upon what
would be with seiisible matrons maturity,

Industrial Training: for Girl.
I find that practically, while it is clearly
held in view that women are to receive a
support m marriage it is not so clearly incul
cated that tny ar to earn it marriage
affording the opp rtunity for jbmplpj'ment,
aiu! a compensation, not in wages regulated
by tlie market price, but in a share of the
husband's income. Th tnith is, thq aimless
way in which girb stiend the years interyen
iiig between leaving school and their marv
riago, in mere seeking after anuisenjents or
in dosultory employments that may be more
or less useful, but which tho world would
i.it':.'r do without than pay a living price
for, has the -f?ct of leaving their ideas of
earning anything at any tinij Fery indistinct
indeed certainly a poor prepaj-atlon for a
state of Ji.fo in which most women must' do a
very real and vuiuabje share of work !
A well assorted marriage is, no dzubt, the
fcrtnpiest state of life; but it by no means
fvl'lows flint marriage always affords the
plriasautesc flelo". fpr earning a living; and if
young wo:neu had the industrial training
that would allow them to make a Lh.Qiee, this
fact would avail more to prevent unworthy
aud loveless marriages, entered into for the
saks pt r support, than all the exhortations
of moralists. I4'j.pa day iu Woman.

Husbands are not made to oi'der; they just

him when you see him. He may not look
like the man your fancy painted, yet you
will recognize in him the qualities that go
to make up tho reliable, enterprising, amia

of acute business minds, and ore not as
observant cs they might be. One after an
other thoy will fall jnto the same open trap,
just as though they were blindfolded or were
impelled by some uncontrollable force. The
majority of them seem to think they must
marry, nud all that is necessary is to find a
man who is good looking or rich.
The average girl first takes a. fancy to a
pretty man, and thinks and dreams of his
lovely hair, charming eyes, elegant 'dress,
divine mustache aud dove like voice. She
declares that he is too sweet for anything.

Coffee is a handy and harmless disinfect
tant. Exjeriments have been made in Pari:!
to prove this. A quantity of meat was hung'
up in u closed room until decomposed, and
then a chafing dish was introduced and five
hundred grammes of coffee thrown on th
lire in a few minutes tho room was itoni

phuretted hydrogen and ammonia er
developed, and ninety grammes of coffee de
stroyed the smell in about half a minute. It
is also stated that coffee destroys the smelt of
musk, castoreuni aud assafirtidu. As a
proof that the noxious smells are really de
composed by the fumes of coffee, and not
merely ovei-powered by them, it is stated
that the first vapors of the coll"ee wero not
smelt at all, and are therefore chemically
absorbed, while tho other smells gradually
diminish as the fumigation continues. The
best way to effect this fumigation is to pound
the coffee in a mortar, and then strew it ou
a hot iron plate, which, howevrr, must not
be red hot. Herald of Health.
A Charming A proa.
A very charming little apron may be made
according to the following directions:
Take a yard of Swiss muslin with a.polka
dot about three-eighths of an inch In di
f.meter. Tear off the strings, make a hem
three or four inches wide and work three
I'ows of dots across the apron above the tiem,
like daisies. Yellow daisies .with brown
centers are pretty, or white ones with pale
yellow centers. Use the wash floss in work
ing the daisies and the apron can be used for
a long time, if not boiled. Make ribbon
strings if preferred.
This apron takes about three skeins of silk
for the leaves and two for the centers of the
daisies. Make sixteen leaves to each daisy,
using four strands of silk in working.

Outdoor Life for Women.
Dr. Sawyer believes in the "camp cure'
for women as well as men. He has known tent
life to cure nervous women when all other
resources failed. One of the women weut
to a lonely Western lake in May, as soon as
the weather permitted, and took up her
abode in two wall tents, with servants in a
log hut near by. One of the tents was

photography, and as her strength increased
learned to fish, shoot, row and swim. When
the first snow fell anil camp was broken she

be encouraged to romp out of doors, like
their brothers. Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette. Ventilation tf Cellars.
In tho ventilation of cellars the mistake is
frequently made of inti-cducing air from
without which is considerably warmer than
that contained within them. Instead of
making them cool aud airy, which is tho de
sired object, they ai'e thereby rendered warm
and damp, for the warm air, although raising
the temiH.Tatui'e of that in the cellar, is itself
cooled and deposits its moisture, which soon
mokes itself evident as palpable dampness.
Consequently in warm weather the ventila
tion of cellars should be cai ried on at night,
tho cellar being kept closed between suurite
and sunset. Globe-Democrat.
"Good i'urui" at Table.
To be thoroughly ''good form'' at tablo is
considered tho '"cream;" the very height of
jreSnement; and although we have 6aid that
n:ip.ny"ruies are difficult to observe by reason
of their frequent change, there are others
again, that are immutable; and not to follow
them is to argue ourselves unknown, so far
as society goes. To take soup, pushing the
spoon from, rather than towards you; to
touch the napkin as littlo as possible; to ac

quietly; the&a and other trifles are tests of
the well bred diner-out. Tillic May Forney.

Greeted by I'rlends.
The tide of immigration into Northern
Minnesota, Dakota and th far Northwest
flows through St. Paul. The immigration ns
to its character may lo broadly divid.-d into
two classes foreign imtiiigrnl iuii and immi
gration from Yunkeedom. Each branch is
handled differently, and is kept distinct. The
incoming representatives of the monarchies
of Eui'0ie journey along together, and the
migL'atory p-oplo from the eastern states
travel similarly by themselves. Atid so they
seldom fall in with each other. It almost
might be said that there uro two ftrtains of
immigration; but this would Ihj hardly cor
rect, us they are all g''ing in the same direc
tion, and will probably mingle at their
destination.
The Castlo Garden arrivals are to lie found
at the Emigrant house nt the Union di iot.

and children who wero waiting about th-:
place for trains to take them further west,

Germans.
An emigrant l.c-t l. ;. :.tc -...... i.i...t.i
tion at a point, like tins hcrt there are large
numliers of emigrants changing trains. The
foreigners must be kept to thcur-elves for
various reasons, nnd one reason is that very
few of them speak English, and therefore to
keep on the right track all the time they
must hang together ur.d keep in constant
communication with the polyglot emigrant
p-isseuger agents as they go along from place
to place. Furthermore, they have to be pro.
tectcd against sharks of various species, and
particularly against the. boarding house
sharks, who would like to get them outside,
fill them with aqua f'ortis, and work them
down to their last hard earned nickel.
BIO FAMILIES.
Tho emigrant room is in tho long brio!:
annex at the Union dejiot, at tho north of the
bheds. Hero is an ai-i ay of old country co.-.-
tumes and characteristics bright colors an ! '
odd cuts of garments quite liewildering t'i
the senses. The agent w ho is skipping about,
tho room reading the tickets of the immi
grants for them, and answering questions in
five or six different languages at tho rate of
9,000 a minute, pauses long enough to inform
mo that a family of nine and ten children
may lie found waiting in the emigrant room
almost any day.
"The run is higher than that sometimes,"
he said, with a nod, "but the3' very seldom
go beyond fifteen. There was one man
through hero with thhtj'-two children in his
train last season. One wife) Oh, no; it was
his third wife he had with him; but then, you
see, with three wives the average was ten ami
two-thirds children each."
The majority of the immigrants (perhaps
it would be more proper to call them transi
grants) in the l-oom are Swedes and Norwe- j
gians. Tho young men are of the peasant I
and farmer class lusty young fellows, with j
broad shoulders and finely developed l'mbs, '
black buckskin pea jackets. Some of them
have families along with them, but the ma- i
jonty are single young chaps. The ageno I

for them in advance by friends already set- '

The ''bad, Wiird societies'' that have sprung !
up lately in the New England suhools art by i
no means to be laughed at. They may do a ;
great deal of good, and that good is of a :
nature that generally lies beyond the reach
of teachers. There are few play grounds ;
attached to boys' schools in this country j
where language is not constantly used which '
would grieve and astound the mothers oi j
those who utter and those who. kpar them. ' i
The rules of the Bad "Vord society are ;
usually not written down; but they are som&".
thing like this: "One cent fine for every bad
word spoken; every lioy to report his owrj '
bad words to the treasurer and pay up; nq
telling of any other bey's lad words; thij
money to go to the school library."
This is simple and practical. Perhaps the .
scheme might lie enlarged a little so as to in
clude the grosser forms of bad grammar,
such as "I done it.' "them cabbages," and
"you was." It is highly absurd that the
boys who have been going to a grammar
school for years should violate the most liidi
rnental laws of grammar every tinis they
speak ten consecutive words. Youth's Com,
