CARE OF THE TEETH. To Preserve nnd Ilencitlfy Them fehould Hp Hit* Aim of Kvery Man. Woman and Child. Everybody admires a pood' set of teeth, and the owner of such is always to be envied. An excellent cam phorated tooth powder which will not destroy thn enamel of the teeth, and yet will render them white, is made of 7 drs. of precipitated chalk, one-half dr. of powdered camphor and 1 dr. of powdered orris root. it is not sufficient to use only a tooth powder; a liquid dentifrice is pleas ant and has a beneficial influence upon the gums. To make one, take 2 o/.s. of borax, a quart of hot water and one teaspoonful each of tincture myrrh nnd spirits of camphor. Dissolve the borax in hot water, and when the wa ter is cool odd the other ingredients am bottle them for use. A few drops usee in a little water forma delightful Svash, It. is a mistake to suppose that Ihe teeth of every person should be of the fame whiteness. The variation of color is largely a constitutional re mit. Yellow teeth, it is said, are usually I Indicative of bodily vigor, and very pearly white ones of a more fragile const itut ion. There is only one general rule to of fer respecting the care of tiie teeth, and that is that they be kept immacu lately clean and in perfect health. Their color then matters nothing, for their condition will prove that they ere well attended to. Should the gums be tender and spongy, the gen eral health, upon which the condition of the teeth so much depends, should be made the subject of inquiry. A healing and soothing tooth pow der is made of precipitated chalk 1 oz., of powdered borax one-half oz.. of powdered myrrh one-fourth oz.. and the same quantity of powdered orris root. —X. Y.

The gas and water accounts, which form so large a part of the year's expenses, should be as closely scru tinized by the careful housekeeper as are the grocer 3' and provision bills, and care should be taken to see that »o overcharge is made. To do this, the principles on which the meters are operated should first be learned. The accompanying figure represents FACE OF GAS METER. the face of a gas meter. It will be noticed that the hands of alternate i dials move in the same direction. I The dial at the top registers frac tions of a cubic foot and is used for ! test purposes only. The figures on ' the right-hand dial represent hun- I dreds of cubic feet and when the I hand has made one complete revolu- j tion a thousand feet will have passed through. Each thousand feet will be checked on the lower dial un til 10,000 in reached, when the hand j of the. last dial moves one point. It i should be noted that the hands can- | not be reset to zero and that, conse- j qucntly, each reading should he pre served until the next one is taken and the former deducted from it. The dotted lines represent the posi tion of the hands at a previous read- j ing of the meter, namely 3,800 cubic feet. The hands now indicate 0,400 cubic feet. Minus .'(,800 cubic feet would give 2,000 cubic feet as the amount of gas consumed during ihe quarter; at $1.50 per 1,000 feet, your bill should be $3.90. A water meter is read in precisely the same way but the registration is more minute. The first dial is used only for testing. The next registers single feet, then tens, hundreds and toon. if, after deducting as shown above, you find you ha v.* used 2,526 cubic feet of water during the year, you must multiply this number by .748 to find the number of gallons, namely 18,804 gallons. This amount multiplied by the rate per thousand gallons (unless you pay for water by the faucet) will show the amount of your water bill.—Ernest It.

Mrs. Clarence Mackny, the dashing leader of New York society, with a fortune of almost $40,000,000 at her command, is credited with being the most extravagant young matron in America. She spends annually more than $30,000 on her wardrobe, and this does not include her lavish ex pennitures for jewelry, which is her pet fad. With an assured Christmas present every year of $25,000 for pin ! money and regular allowances on an equally liberal basis, she is easily in position to lead the younger set of women in New York in the matter of j extravagance. Mrs. Maekay leans perceptibly to ward fads, and one of her latest MRS. CLARENCE MACKAY. creations in this direction is to be found in her magnificent country home on Long Island, comprising a mansion and 700 acres of land, which was presented to her by her father in-law, John W. Maekay. In this house Mr. Maekay has had construct ed the most wonderful bath that has ever been seen in America. It wag brought over from Italy and is cut from a solid block of marble, which j cost something like. $20,000. The pool is sunk in the floor and five broad | marble steps lead down to it. The water spouts from the mouths of ex- j quisitely carved marble dolphins. An- j other feature of the bathroom is a | great fireplace built into the side j wall of the room. Each of the other j 25 bathrooms in the house has a lux- j urious Pompeiian bath let down in < the marble floor in the same way. It was Mrs. Mackay's own idea that each of her 30 servants should have a separate room. The rooms art small, but are sunshiny and comfort- j able. Although spending fabulous sums j every year upon gowns and the grat- | ifieation of literary whims regarding fads, Mrs. Maekay is by no means neglectful of the more serious prob- j leuis of life, says the Chicago Trib- ! une. She gives fully as much to , charity as she spends for her own \ pleasure, and makes it a rule never j to buy herself a bit of finery with- I out giving the equivalent to some de- j serving person or institution. Mrs. j Mack'iy is a new type of the fashion- | able woman, and she has attracted j no end of attention in the east—in ; fact, throughout the United States. j People stare at her so much when she drives out in New York that she ' wears a veil covered with heavy lace , flounces that completely hides her features like a mask. She is a beauty with dark hair, dark eyes, and an ex quisite figure. Her gowns are the best that can be bought. Jewelry is her pet fad, and she has one of the finest collections of jewels in Amer ica. One ring is a Hindu curio, which cost $37,000. It covers three fingers | and is of old yellow Chinese gold set j i with rare rubies, diamonds and em- j j eralds. Among her furs is a single ! coat of sealskins and sables which j cost $7,000. Mrs. Maekay is justly reputed to be \ ; the most original woman in New ! York society. She furnishes the sur prises, fashions and fads for the young members of Gotham's smart set, and the distinction of having in | augurated baby parties in this conn- j | try belongs to her. She is the mis- j | tress of one of the most beautiful country homes in America, and yet her friends say she has not been \ spoiled by all this lavishness. She j always has time to be pleasant to j everyone, and, although she enter- I ' tains constantly, she never neglects ! : her little daughter for society. Stationery is one of Mrs. Mackay's I many fads. It is all in violet, and, be cause she thinks a red two-cent s tamp is inharmonious on a violet en velope, she uses the three-cent stamp instead. , Recipe for a Iluir tVnuli.

Solnfion of n Tlckllxh Qnrntlon Tho< lias ru».7.1c«l Many I'ecdt r» Mure or Leu, A reader from Canada asks for the | best method of dividing' a round silo ' which recently came into his posses sion. Should the partition be putin i j crossways of the openings or extend j from the openings? If the partition ! ; extends from the opening, shall it ex- | ! tend from the center of the opening or j from one edge? Pigs 1, 2 and 3 show the three plans. By putting the par- J tition, as in Figs. 1 and 2, the silage from one-half must be thrown across i ; the other, which means much extra | work in emptying a silo. The parti j tion should be placed as in Pig. 3, and I good doors made to fit the opening in j each side. Use paper, or what is bet- i I ter. felt to make the joints air-tight. The reader also asks if it would not I I be all right to have the boards cut | and putin the partition as the silo is I filled. It would be impossible to make a | partition air-tight when putin in such ; a manner. Too much care cannot be taken in putting in such a partition. The ends will have to have much work where joined to the walls or air will get through when one side is empty. The work should be done in a good and I substantial manner, as there is great pressure. Both sides should be tilled simultaneously and well compacted at GO® r/o.j OHIH Fro. 4 F~/Cr S F'/tr, Q METHODS OF DIVIDING SILO, all times. It would break down the best made partition if one side was putin at a time. After it is well set tled if one side is taken out the press ure is not so great. When taking out the first slide, have a large number of braces ready the proper length and as fast as the silage is used, putin the braces. Pig. 4 shows the braces in position from the sides of the silo to the partition. These braces should have some pieces at the ends running the opposite direction to the material against which the brace is to support. That ss, if the silo is stave and the partition horizon tal to the brace, the end nieces should be as in Fig. 5. If the timber of the i Jutside of the silo is horizontal, the j brace should be a 6 in Fig. 6. When | one side of the silo is empty, there is | no danger of the wall giving way if these precautions are taken. Next year, ' when filling, the braces as tvell as the end pieces, should be taken out and j laid away for another year. By this j method, the man with a small herd can build a moderate sized silo and have ! silage through the dry time, as well j as winter at a very small outlay of noney.—Orange Judd Farmer. THE FIG IN AMERICA. Vast Arena In Thin Country Said tc He Especially Adapted to Grow Iri ir It. There is little reason to doubt : that America will become in the no ' distant, future one of the greatest ; fig-producing countries in the world, j Previous to about three years ago j the growing of figs in this country I was carried on with very indiffer ent success, though trees were planted in California, New Mexico, ! Arizona and some other places. I About three years ago the govern j ment took up the matter and intro i duced from abroad the fig-fertiliz i ing insect, blastophaga grossorum. The insect was put to work in the fig orchards about Fresno, Cal. As a result two tons of Smyrna figs were raised, dried and placed on the j market, tests being made by chem i ists and fruit, experts showing these j figs to be superior to the imported j ! product. The crop last year on j these same trees amounted to over j 50 tons. The insect has been intro- I duced now, into other localities and j the department of agriculture holds | itself in readiness to supply these insects to any grower that has trees of a bearing age. In the light of j these results it seems likely that I we may see in the next 20 years an j enormous development of the fig- I growing industry. There are vast areas in this country that are adapt ed to the growing of such trees as the fig and those localities will with out doubt be the scenes of extensive cultural operations with the aid of | science, which the American farmer ! has so often and so susccessfully called to his aid.—Farmers' Review.
