The mouth is the gateway of the stomach,
and unless this gateway is well fashioned
and well guarded the field beyond issuhject
to continued invasion. We know how little
the masticating piwcr of tho teeth is
brought into use in preparing the food for
the stomach, as it is now served to us
ilo'.h jaws and teeth need bard, firm pres
sure, to force the blond to the respective
parls.and thereby produce nutritive pabu
lum; and in this it seems is the explanation.
in part at least, of the fact that it is impossi
tile for dentists to make bricks without clay.
in other words, to make good teeth of those
that were poor from the beginning poor
tor lack ot proper nutritive material. The
primary cau-e of dyspepsia is not so much
what we eat as the mauner in which we eat.
If the people would eat with less baste, nud
di-card tiie u-e ot' liquids while eating, we
should have much le.-sot dyspepsia. Chew
ing vigorously stimulates the salivary glands
to action, and furnishes to the stomach one
of the brat possible aids to digestion. Chew
ing a piece of pine slick is an excellent thing
lor giving exercise to the jaws, ns well as
cleaning the teeth; but ii a pine stick is
olj'ft'liotiable let the patient chew gum,
taking care, however, to swallow Ihe saliva.
It is rather an unfortunate thing thing lo be
obliged to advise the children of good sociely
to chew gum, but if tho partnts will persist
in feeding them on such food ns they do,
something must be done to enable them both
to clean their teeth and at the same time to
asist digestion, It is a very difficult matt' r
to cleanse the teeth by brushing alone
Hrushing is good, ami should be scrupulous
ly attended to at least three times a day.
The majority of dentifrices found in the drug
stores Inn letter remain there. Warm wa
ter at' J soap are the best articles for cleans
ing .he teeth. A piece of fine, white Cas
tle soap, and a moderately atitT brush, are
i 'dispensable. Wood and quill toothpicks
ai excellent, but metallic pins should never
bo u d. The best thing for the removal of
particle:, nf food from between the teeth is
untwisted or floss silk ; it will go where a
pick cannot reach, and tn teeth are so close
ly joined but what it can be readily made
made to pass between, The chemical theory
of decay is that acid secretions are found in
the saliva. If the decayed portions of one's
teeth presents a dense, black appearance, it
is very likely due to sulphuric acid secre
tion ; if it be dark brown, and soft iu slruc
lure, it is probably due to a muriatic acid
si cretion ; and if it appear, yellow or while,
tho test will most likely to reveal nitric acid
or lactic. Decay almost invariably begin
at the point of contact, that is, where the
teeth touch each other, and iu the fissures or
depressions of the bicuspids and molar, This
shows that the saliva and debris of the
mouth, being held in position at theso points
are largely, if not wholly, responsible for
the mischief.
A boosing Joke.
A prominent physician of Pittsburgh said
jokingly lo a lady patient who was com
plaining of her continued Ill-health and of
Ills inability to cure her, "try Hop Hitters!"
The lady took it in earnest and used the
Hitters, from which she obtained perman
ent health. She now laughs at the doctor
for his joke, but lie is not so well pleased
with it, an it cost him a good patient.

Up to three evenings ago such n thing as
a checker board was never known in Mr,
GrnttaVs house, lie nnd his aged partner
have managed to pass the long evenings
very ple.nantly, and he supposed they wero
happy enough until a friend from the Kast
paid them a Hying visit and asserted over
and over again that the game of checkers
was not only nil the rage thero but that it
served to quicken the perceptive faculties,
enlarge the mind and render the brain moro
active. Alter giving the subject due thought,
Mr. Orattan walked down town and pur
chased n checker board, and when evening
came he surprised his good wife by bring
ing It from the wood-shed, and saying :
'Well, Martha, well have n game or two
before wo go over to the social. I expect
to bent you all to flinders, but you won't
care?'
'Of course not, nnd if I beat you why you
won't care,' she replied.
They sat down, and he claimed the first
move. She at onco objected, but when he
began to grow red in the face alio yielded
and he led oil. At the fourth move she took
a man, chuckling ns svhe raked him in,
'I don't see anything lo grin at,' hesneer
ed as he moved a man backward.
'Ilerel you can't move that way I she
called out.
'I can't eh? Perhaps I never
checkers before you were born I'
played
She saw a chance to jump two more men
and gave in the point, but as she moved he
cried out :
'l'ut them men right back there I I've
concluded not to move move backward,cven
if Hoyle does permit it I'
She gave in again, but when ho jump
ed a man her nose grew red and sho cried
out :
'I didn't mean to move there.I was think
ing of the social I'
'Can't help the social, .Martha we must
go by Hoyle.'
Iu about two minutes she jumped tivo
men and went into the king row, shout
ing 'Crown him I crow n him I I've got a
king I'
'One would think by your childish actions
that you never played a game before,' he
growled out.
'I know enough to beat you I'
'You do, eh? Same people are awful
smart.'
'And some folks ain't she snapped as the
king captured another man.
'What iu thunder are you jumping that
way for ?'
'A king can jump any way 1'
'So be ca.i'11'
Yes he can I'
'Don't talk hack to me, Martha Orattan I
I was playing checkers when you were iu
the cradle 1'
I don't care 1 I can jump two men which
ever way you move.'
He looked down on the board, saw that
such was the case, and roared out :
'You've moved twice to my oncol'
'I haven't !'
'I'll take my oath you have! I can't
play against such blackleg practices!'

Good, well-grown radishes, tender, juicy
and crisp are delicious in the spring and
summer. The kind we generally have are
long, tough, stringy and sharp enough lo
the taste to mako us wish that wo never
touched the 'blamed' mean, red, rooty-looking
object dignified with the name of radish.
A coriespoudeut of i'i'ci' Monthly writes,
after having rather a horror of the ordinary
radish and becoming well acquainted with
true, well-grnwned radish at the World's
Fair at Paris: 4 To obtain early radishes, I
make a slight hot-bed,sow the seed in drills,
then thin out as soon as they appear abovo
ground, so that the plants will stand au inch
apart in the rows, and then give them plen
ty of air and light. If kept too close, they
will grow all tops. A little later I make a
cold frame, using a light, sandy soil, and al
ways succeed if I can give the plants plenty
of air and light. Sometimes, when the wea
ther is darkened and stormy and it is not
po-sible to give air, the plants become
drawn ;' that is, having long slender tops
and no bulbs of any consequence.' Kor
open-air culture the same writer obtains the
best mold from the woods.oDe load of which
is worth threo of composed-manure for
growing radishes, which is used as a top
dressing to the depth of an inch or two, if
possible. The kinds grown are the white
and red turnip, and the long scarlet. He
also considers a white kind, the Long White
Naples, as the best late variety he has ever
tried. Everybody thiuks it is easy to grow
radWies, and they grow them or think
they do; and it is a pity that these growers
do not have to eat them. A piece of well-
tarred marline, fresh from a Detroit fishing,
boat, would be about as tender and agree
able. Let us have a rest for a while from
this kind ol vegetable excruciation. Sew

HE KNEW THE HOPES.
The other evening a man with hh hat on
his ear nnd and a knowing look in his eyes
got off a Grand Trunk train and made inqui
ries about an up-town hotel, and finally de
cided to take a hack up. Nothing was said
about the fare, which was fifty cents; but
when he had been safely carried to Ills des
tination, he pushed his hat up a little more,
drew down his left eye, and said to the hack-
an :
"Now, bay, look a-lierel I hain't travel

INFLUENCE OP MINI) ON MINI).
Experience has shown that, by an effort
of the will, the thoughts of one mind may
be Impressed upon that of another, that the
emotions, the Jojs, and tho sorrows of the
directing, controlling mind of the one, may
becomo the subject of consciousness Iu that
of the other without nny visible exterior
communication. Not only Is this the case
where the mental condition of the recipient
has been rendared highly sensitive through
mesmeric or other Influences, but even iu
the normal conditions It Is equally true.
There are but few men, perhaps, compe
tent of continuous thought, who hare not
frequently found, during periods nf profound
mentat abstraction in the presence of oth
ers, that their thoughts were indentlcal with
those of Ibeir neighbor, although no words
may have passed between them, nor had
the-e common thoughts nny connection wi'h
the circumstances immediately surrounding
them oi with nny previous conversation.
The question, we think, has been filrly
stated ; how then are we lo account for
these extraordinary phenomena? Cau we
find any rational mode by which this trans
ference of thought can be satisfactorily ac
counted for? That it is done through the
agency of natural laws no one man will
doubt. Physically speaking, we know that
action and reaction are fatal; may not this
law obtain in our mentnl operations? If
tills hy olhesls should be assumed to he
correct, it might be observed that no man's
thoughts would be exclusively his own, and
thus the business, tho Interests, nnd pleas
ures of life would bo seriously derangd'
l''ortunately,the conditions favorable for this
transference of thought are in by far the
greatest number of cases wanting, nnd thus
no serious inconvenience is felt either in
public or private affairs. The fact, how
ever, that these cases are rare and excep
tionable, is no more evidence against their
existence, than the fact that it does not
thunder and Jighluine everv dav is evi
dence against the occuruece of thunder and
lightning. In (act, all phenomena of na
ture depends upin condition". Take your
healthy, vigorous plant form its bath of
sunshine and moisture deprive it of both;
-ee how quickly it fades and dies. One of
the necessary conditions for existence of
man upon this earth is a proper supply of
oxjgen, iwen inanimate nature cannot ex
ist without conditions; heat, light, and
electricity depend upon conditions and are
mutually convertible. Winds and storms
rain and snow, dearth and floods, depend
upon conditions. What then are the con-
ditions by which mind mny operate upon
mluu in consequence of a mere determina
tion of the will ?'
This is not the place to show, as it has
been shown, and that abundantly proved,
that all the shades and variety of con rs
this beautiful world of ours, aie due to tin-
length of these.sarce ethereal waves. In or
der, however, to assist the imagination to
form some conception of the possible rela
tion between light, beat, and thought. I
will take a paiticular example. Imsgiuea
hot bloom of iron, in one of our rolling
mills, radintiiitr its heat in all dlrectinna
how do we become conscious of the heat nnd
color ol iiu3 mass of iron? This heated ball
is the state of intense moleu'.ilar agitation ,
this molecular agitation acting upon the
ether which surrounds it upon all aid'" pro
duces'llthereal wavcs.these waves strike ujvtm
on our bodies and produce to us the con
sciousness of heat, falling upon the eye they
give us the conception ot color. If then, tho
vibration of an inanimate mass acting upon
the Kther cau give us tho conception of col
or,why not the molecular motion of the brain
during the process of thinking nud acting
through this same medium of colors commu
nicate to us the thoughts of another ?
What resemblance is there between the
mode in which wo become conscious of light
and heat, and that of receiving the mental
impressions of olhers ? In the consideration
of this question, we assume that Ihe dynam
ical theory of beat, and the undulatnry the
ory of light are true, as they have not only
accounted for all known phenomena, but
have protected the unknown, winch subse
quent research has shown to bo true.
What is light and best ? -The million of
the ultimate particles of a heated body. How
do we become conscious of light and lu-.v ?
I!y the destruction of the Ethereal waves set
in motion by the swing of the ultimate par
ticles. We become conscious of light through
the destruction of these waves by our organ
of sight, of heat, by the breaking of these
waves upon our bodies. A few words of ex
planation to the unscientific reader may here
be necessary. The Ether referred to above
is supposed to be a substance of almost infi
nite tenuity and elasticity, that not only ex
tends through a'l Space, but as experiment
has proved, even surrounds the very mole
cules of matter. Our consciousness of the
existence of the molten masses of iron iu
our pudJling furnaces, the light and warmth
of the sun, the light ol the fixed stars is due
to the samo cause by the undulations or this
ether set in motion by the vibration.", or
rather oscilations of these heated bodies.
Dies then the law of action and reaction
apply to mental as well as physical phe
nomena? The spectroscope has Informed us, by cvi
deucei of the most convincing kind, of the
existence of Iron and other terrestial metals
or their vapors in the sun as fixed stars;
thus establishing the identity of the material
composing those distaut bodies with that of
our own planet. Ether brings us the light
of those far distant suns ; will it ever bring
us evidence of the intelligence of organized
beings, inhabitants nf the planets revolving
about those remote centres of motion ? 7W

The other day an old and respected citizen
came Into our office, and after paying his last
year's subscription, took a scat and remark
ed :
'I guess you needn't send me the paper
any longer; I have just subscribed for a
PhilaJetpha paper which suits me pretty
well, and doesn't cost in much as the Oise-r-nr.'
Here he handed us the paper for Inspec
tion. Wo found it tn be a neat looking
sheet, handsomely printed with a large en
graved head, nnd containing forty-eight col
umns of miscellaneous reading matter.
'Knir looking paper,' we remarked as we
handed It back to him ; 'but did you ever
see anything In it concerning our county ?'
'Well, I don't know as I ever have.'
'Anything iu regard to the State ?'
'Nothing.'
'And yet you give up a paper that contains
the local market reports, the state of the
crop, the deaths and marrlagis, and tho
thousand and ono happenings from week to
week which go to make up the history of
the region in which you are mot interested,
and which you can get from no other source,
and take instead a city paper, simply because
it comes a little cheaper.'
'Yes, and It contains more reading mat
ter,' he added.
'Certainly,' we remarked, but what is the
character of the matter ? Nothing iu regard
to your own village your schools, your
churches, your local Improvements and the
thousand and onetblt'gs that happen in your
county. There Is nothing in it that helps lo
build up your county and support home in
stitutions. It is as foreign to you as the
city In which it is published. It may con
tain more reading matter but your neighbor
hood is not represented in its columns.'
'Hut why can't you furnish your paper
cheaper if they cjn afford a much larger one
in the city nt a low price ?' he queried. 'I,a
bor is certainly cheaper here.'
'For the reason that a country paper has
a small circulation compared with a city pa
per, and thela'ior expended upon 1,01)0 pa
pers is about tbei same as .ri0,0()0, especially
when it is taken iut. consideration that the
city weekly which is furnished for a dollar

Next year will be the eighteenth centena
ry of tho great eruption of Vesuvius, which
resulted in the total destruction of Hercu
laneum and Pompeii, and a proposal has
been made iu Italy to celebrate the event in
some suitable manner. The people, howev
er, seem to have been too busy with their
demonstrations in honor of Italia Irredenta
to have given, as yet, any practical shape
to the idea, but it now appears that it will
bo carried out in a manner totally uneipect
ed and rather premature, but probably more
appiop-ist than even the ingenuity ofyefe
loving Italian could suggest. Whatever
lorm the unlqe commemotatlon might take,
it could hardly be more grandly accompa
nied than by the smoke and thunder, and
cascades of liquid firo produced by thevol
cano itself, which is already in what ap
pears to to the preliminary stages nf anoth
er great eruption. For two or three years
the mountain lias given signs of returning
animation, and the prognostications of ii
extensive outburst have taken thousands of
expectant visitor", doomed however to dis
appointment, from all parts of the continent
to witness the awful and splendid spectacle.
This year the disappointment of tourists
will not be so great. Cascades ol lava.thrown
up to a height of 300 fett, with their accom
panying showers of ashe, and the mighty
column of tmoke curling high in the air
and carried gently away in a long trailing
mass far across the deep blue sky,with patch
es here and thero of lighter colored vapors
expanding in the air and mingling with the
clouds these are features in the fair scenery
of Naples and Castellamare which are re
served only for the favored few among the
visitoi to tho tunny south, Even II the
eruption does not attain more Insjestic pro
portion", and if Its full force ss to be reserv
ed for next year, the sight of Vesuvius in its
present state is worth a long journey to see ;
but should the gathering volcanic forces, of
the activity of which Central Europe was
but recently a witness in the scries of earth
quake extending from Helgium to Piedmont
and from Elbe to the Loire, gain strength,
and seek an nutlet in the 'safety valve' ol
Vesuvius, the fu'l event which decided the
fate of the burning cities may receive still
more significant commemoration.

JCiiUes his experience as follows 'The
water, which is quite clear, and nearly the
color of the Niagara river below tl, foit
seemed to mo a little more bitter and salt
tlmi that of Salt Lake.although brighter and
more attractive than when close at hand. Its
supporting power struck mo as a little great
er, also, than that of Salt Lake, as the body
floated more easily and the difficulty of
swiminiinr was greater on account of the ina
bility to keep one's feet under water, bo
large a quantity of salt is held iu solution
that the water has what is called, I believe,
a 'ropy' appearance, much like that of n!
plato of well made tapioca soup. I observed
however, that when we came out of the
water there was not so large a deposit of salt
crystals on the body as after a bath in Salt
Lake, and tho feeling of the skin, iustead of
beins dry and prickly, as I expected, was
rather oily and sticky. Our dinner that
nigui was seasoned with salt made from
