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.

READING GAS METERS.
Careful Housekeeper* Should Keep
an Eye on Gas Ilill* to Prevent
OvereharKlnw.
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. Lowe,

MRS. CLARENCE MACKAY. ]
Sew t«rk Society Leader WUo Is
Called the Mont Kxtravuuant
Woman in America.
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.
A useful hair wash, especially for
those people who easily catch cold, j
is made by taking five cents' worth j
of camphor and borax (both should ;
be powdered), and pouring over them !
a pint of boiling water. Let this stand :
till cold and then bottle. When wash- j
ing the hair add a tablespoonful of :
this to the warm water.

Everything nowadays must be

Before cutting l'nen or damask, be I
sure to draw a thread, for otherwise
no matter how straight it may fold,
it will probably only look so till it is
washed. If cut by the thread you
may be sure of its washing straight.

DIVIDING ROUND SILO.
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

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.

Hon. J. D. Botkin, Congressman from
Kansas, Writes an Interesting Letter.
CAPTAIN O. BERTOLETTO.
Captain O. I'ortoletto of the Italian
Barque "Lincelles," in a recent letter
from the chief office of the Italian
Barque Lincelles, Pensa cola, Fla., writes:
"/ have suffered for several years
with chronic catarrh of the stomach.
The doctors prescribed for me without
my receiving the least benefit. Through
one of your pamphlets I began the use
of Peruna, and two bottles have en
tirely cured me. / recommend Peruna
to all my friends."—O. Bertoletto.
In catarrh of the stomach, as well as
catarrh of any part of the body, Peruna
is tlie remedy. As has been often said
if Peruna will cure catarrh of one part,
it will cure catarrh of any other part of
the body.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located,
and the remedy that will cure it any
where will cure it everywhere.

This is a ease of catarrh of the stomach

accomplishing for liiiu more benefit than

I It stands to reason that a man of

unturned to find a cure.
If such cures as these do not verify
the claim not only that dyspepsia is duo
to catarrh of the stomach, but also that
Peruna will cure catarrh of the stom
