Observations by an English Dentist on This Important Subject. From tho London Mall. Much has been suld recently on tho subject of what man Is coming to. Certainly In many ways bo Is under going gradual transformations, and ap parently for the worse. If a pessimistic view be taken It must seem that men are beginning to return to that shapa which Darwinians believe was his starting point In the process of evolu tion. For example, there Is a growing ten dency for the Jaw of a modern man to recede. One authority attributes this to the habit of allowing Infants, nnd often young children, to continually) suck whrvt aro called "babies' comfort ers," or "teats." This, It appears, has an Inclination to draw In the Jaw at an age when the bones are hardly set. Primitive man. It has been proved, used his teeth as a weapon, In tho same way that n dog now does. When he came to rely more on weapons of his own manufacture, the strength of the teeth was no longer called Into service for protection or defense. This, also, has tended to make tho human Jaw recede. Then, again, there Is at the present time a great Increase In the decay of teeth, especially among children. Emi nent dental surgeons who have been consulted on the matter agree hot the decline of tho teeth Is due (8 the present artificial mode of living, to adulterated provisions nnd to the habit of cooking everything until tender. One eminent specialist says that in Lent he is twice as busy as at any other time. The reason for this, so ho asserts, Is that there are fewer parties then, and people do not mind so much being In n few days "not at home" to their friends, should their front teeth want repairing. In this respect it Is Interesting' to learn that men are even more vnln than women. Tho dentist In question tells a good story of a woman who certainly had an original reason for having her teeth attended to dining Lent. "I have put off coming to see you about my teeth until now," she began, as she sank into a seat, "because I have several to be 'stopped.'
