Whkn  the  oannlbal  savages  after  a  llyht 
Make  a  feast  on  the  VxxUee  of  those  they  have  beaten. 
The  irrlsly  repast  yiehls  a  keener  delight 
From  the  knowledge  that  every  nufortnnato  wight 
■Would  have  deemed  it  the  deepest  disgrace  to  be 
eaten. 
Though  the  custom  is  fast  dying  out  in  Fiji, 
As  tlic  intluenee  of  'Westoru  example  increases, 
In  olvlUzed  countries  yon  often  may  see 
A  circle  of  frlcmls  in  the  highest  of  glee, 
All  lustily  picking  a  neighbor  to  pieces. 
And  the  best  of  it  is  tlint  the  neighbor  is  not, 
As  in  islands  barbaric,  a  iierson  deceased ; 
His  Oesb  has  been  baked  in  no  caldron  or  pot ; 
They  don’t  even  trotjble  to  serve  them  np  hot; 
For  the  victim  still  lives  in  the  midst  of  the  feast. 
Somo  good-ioatured  friend,  p'r’aps,  may  make  him 
aware 
Of  the  nature  of  these  hungry  monsters’  employ¬ 
ment; 
And  though  in  reply  he  may  stoutly  declare 
That  such  vlvlsectlou  won't  hurt  him  a  hair, 
Yet  he  writhes  at  the  thought  Of  their  lioudish  enjoy¬ 
ment. 
Still  one  comfort  remains.  In  the  isles  of  Fiji 
No  possible  vengeance  Is  left  for  the  victim ; 
Ho  is  cooked  and  d/jfiinct.  Hut  In  Kurope  he's  free 
To  sock  sattsfnctlon ;  and  sometimes  ws  see 
That  he  wouuda  in  exchange  for  the  wounds  which 
have  pricked  him. 
Then  beware,  Mrs.  Bmith  ;  beware,  lovely  Hiss  Brown ; 
Young  Jones,  whisper  nothing  that  isn’t  (juite  true; 
Be  a  little  more  careful  of  others'  renown. 
For  Thompson  in  yonder  recces  hiw  set  down 
With  Miss  Green,  and  la  iiuietly  cutting  up  you.

HOW  TO  PRESERVE  THE  TEETH. 
BY  A  FAMILY  DOCTOR. 
Pkrsonally  1  have  always  had  tlio  greatest 
aversion  to  medicine— that  Is^to  taking  it.  Oh! 
prencrlhlng  It  to  others  Is  (lutte  another  ildng, 
A  tooth  Js  comiwscd  of  three  different  struct¬ 
ures,  or  tissues— viz. ,  the  main  portion,  which  la 
called  Uic  Ivory  or  tooth-bone ;  the  enamel,  which 
forms  a  cnist,  as  It  were,  over  the  whole  exposed 
portion  of  the  tooth.  This  enamel  It  la  which  gives 
to  the  tooth  their  cldef  beauty,  or  pearly  appear¬ 
ance;  It  Is  most  beautifully  seen  In  lUo  tooth  of 
young  dogs.  I’he  third  struct  uro  Is  the  cemeutiun ; 
this  covers  Lho  roolM,  fangs  or  uuoxposed  portions 
of  the  teeth.  Everj’  tooth  is  hollow  in  lho  center, 
being  llllod  with  what  la  called  the  pulp— .a  collec¬ 
tion  of  cells,  blood-vessels  and  nerves,  which  are 
conducted  to  this  hollow  or  central  portion  by  a 
minute  oanal,  which  runs  up  tliroiyfh  the  roots  of 
the  b.’clh,  'I'lila  is  all  you  need  bear  In  mind,  for 
oiir  present  purpose,  about  the  structure  of  the 
teeth- 
It  may  seem  very  hard,  but  It  la  none  the  less 
tnie,  that  we  arc  only  allowed  two  sets  of  teeth 
to  last  us  a  whole  lifetime,  and  If  we  need  any 
more  we  arc  to  apply  to  the  dentist  for  them.  It 
Is  tho  object  of  this  paper  tn  show  you  ho\v  you 
can  preserve  your  own  natural  teeth,  and  thus  be 
Independent  of  any  dentist. 
I  have  heard,  of  bablesbeingborn  with  a  fully- 
developodset  ol  teeth;  1  have  hoard  a  great  many 
things  which  I  do  not  believe.  Before  telling  you 
the  time  at  which  you  are  to  expect  the  api)ear- 
auce  of  the  milk  teeth  or  the  prirnmnont  teeth, 
let  me  tiy  to  exjilain  to  you  the  names  they  gen¬ 
erally  go  by  In  medical  phraseology.  The  Incisors 
are  what  are  commonly  called  tho  front,  or  cui^ 
ting,  teeth ;  behind  them  are  the  (Kinlnc  teeth— 
the  pointed  ones— we  all  know  those ;  behind  the 
canines  are  the  fli'st  and  second  bicuspids,  or  an¬ 
terior  grinders— very  handy  teeth  Indeed;  pity  it 
Is  they  should  usually  be  the  very  ilrst  to  decay. 
Behind  these  again  como  the  nrst  and  second 
molai-s— back  teeth,  or  big  grinders ;  and  last  of 
all,  and  furthest  back,  come  the  third  molars— Wie 
Oenii'n  tiniifimffr,  or  wisdom  teeth,  so  called  because 
they  seldom  apiiear  before  we  are  twenty-one,  and 
either  married  rpiite,  or  thinking  about  getting 
married.  Tho  lower  posterior  molars  have  only 
two  roola  or  fangs,  and  quite  enough,  too,  you  wlU 
be  inclined  to  t.ilnk  when  you  are  having  one  pull¬ 
ed  ;  but  tJie  raolai-a  in  the  upptrr  jaw  have  three 
fangs,  and  sometimes  four— It  Ls  U;rrlblc  to  think 
of !— and  you  need  twice  as  much  nerve  and  cour¬ 
age  to  have  one  of  them  taken  out.  Now,  an  adult 
has,  altogether,  thirty-two  teeth,  and  a  child  or 
young  person  has  only  twenty. 
“Cleanliness  is  next  to  godliness,"  runs  the 
proverb,  and  I’ve  heard  a  man  make  this  remark, 
who  posiuvely  was  rubbing  hla  face  with  a  wet 
towel,  because  he  was  too  lazy  to  wash  it.  Will 
nothing  ever  convince  men  and  women  that,  In 
order  thoroughly  to  enjoy  the  mem  mtui  In  cor~ 
poi-e  gaiui,  they  mmt  go  In  for  thorough  and  com¬ 
plete  ablution  by  bathing  every  morning  of  their 
lives  7  But  If  people  are  for  the  most  part  neg¬ 
lectful  of  their  skin,  tenfold  more  so  are  they  of 
their  teeth. 
If  you,  young  lady,  are  only  careful  of  your  teeth 
now,  and  cultivate  habits  of  cleanliness  as  regards 
them  In  the  way  I  shall  point  out,  I  can  promise 
that  you  vvill  have  them  suil  good,  and  nearly  in¬ 
tact,  when  you  are  an  old  woman  of  ninety  going 
on  two  slicks. 
Not  only  13  digestion  Interfered  with,  from  Im¬ 
proper  mastication  of  the  food,  but  cases  of  dys¬ 
pepsia  may  often  be  traced  to  this  cause,  com¬ 
bined  Avdth  carious  or  decaying  U-i^tli,  which  ac¬ 
tually  polsou  the  food  that  was  Intended  for  the 
nutrtmciic  of  the  b<xly. 
The  tooth-brush  Is  as  much  an  Indispensable 
article  of  the  healthy  toilet  as  is  the  halr-bnish 
Itself.  Tooth-brushes  should  not.  bo  too  hard,  as 
they  Injure  and  sometimes  indurate  tho  gums; 
neither  should  they  be  too  soft,  else  they  are  use¬ 
less.  In  imato  tuttssfmns  ihla. 
There  Is  ono  thing  which  a  groat  many  people 
seem  to  forget,  and  that  Is  that  tho  tusldo  and  tho 
crowns  of  the  teeth,  too,  want  cleaning  ns  much  as 
the  outsides,  although  the  outsides  only  are  .seen. 
You  ought,  therefore,  to  provide  yourself  with 
both  outside  and  Inside  tooth-brushes,  which  can 
be  easily  procured  at  any  respectable  drugglst'.s. 
Never  buy  a  cheap  article ;  it  is  dear  in  tho  end. 
Avoid  India-rubber  tooth-brushes;  and  remember 
always  to  rinse  tho  brushes  In  cold  water  after 
using.  Perhaps  It  may  be  an  additional  liiducc*- 
ment  to  tho  reader  to  be  careful  In  cleaning  tho 
teeth,  to  Inform  him  that  parasites  of  a  very  ugly 
form  Innoed  take  up  their  abode  in  tho  human 
mouth  where  cleanliness  has  been  neglccte  J. 
Brush  the  teeth  at  least  twice  a  day,  and  after 
every  meal  It  Is  a  capital  plan  to  rlnso  the  mouth 
wdth  pure  cold  water— no,  not  rose-water. 
A  tooth-brush  crcscontlc  In  the  formation  of  Its 
surface  la  a  handy  ono,  so  also  are  those  right  and 
left-handed  ones  with  beveled  edges,  us  they  do 
not  Injure  tho  gtims. 
What  tooth-powder  Is  best  7  Well,  tho  simpler 
It  Is  the  better,  and  some  people  very  wl.sely  use 
nothing  at  all  but  pure  bicai’bonatc  of  soda.  This 
18  excellent,  although  tho  ta.Hte  Is  objectionable. 
Avoid  tooth-pastes  as  a  rule,  and  all  powders  the  I 
composition  of  which  you  are  not  acquainted 
with ;  they  often  put  a  beautiful  pearly  sur¬ 
face  on  the  teeth  at  tho  expense  of  the  enamel 
Here  Is  a  simple  powder  and  a  goo<l  one:— Pre¬ 
pared  chalk,  half  an  ounce ;  orris  root  and  mag¬ 
nesia,  of  each  one-qnarter  of  an  ounce— mix.  If 
the  teeth  be  much  discolored,  got  your  druggist 
to  add  a  Iltllo  powdered  cuttle- ilsh.  Camphorate<l 
chalk  la  also  very  simple,  and  as  good  as  simple. 
KlTLSlng  the  mouth  occasionally  with  a  wash  of 
half  an  ounce  of  tincture  of  myrrh  to  six  ounces  of 
pure  water.  Is  a  good  preservative  for  the  gums. 
Neglected  teeth,  especially  in  some  delicate 
states  of  health,  arc  said  to  secrete  “tartar." 
This  Is  no  secretion,  but  a  deposit  of  the  salts  of 
the  saliva.  If  there  Is  much  of  It,  the  teeth  must 
be  scaled  by  a  proper  dentist;  It  not,  brushing 
the  teeth  with  a  soa  hmah,  dipped  In  weak  acetic 
acid,  will  have  tlic  desired  effect. 
Some  people  arc  afflicted— for  It  Is  an  anilctlon, 
and  a  very  great  ainictlon  too— with  a  foul  breath. 
This  may  arise  either  from  the  lungs,  a  disordered 
stomach,  or  from  ulcerated  throat  or  gums,  or 
from  decayed  teeth.  Be  the  cause  what  It  may, 
no  time  should  be  lost  in  applying  lo  a  properly 
qualified  medical  man,  to  have  that  cause  re- 
moved,  or  (wmcthliig  much  worse  may  follow.  A 
solution  of  chlorinated  soda,  used  os  a  gargloor 
wash,  will  sweeten  the  breath  t^emporarlly ;  but, 
depend  upon  It,  this  Is  merely  trifling  with  what, 
may  turn  out  to  bo  the  symptoms  of  some  severh 
disorder. 
Be  very  careful  In  your  choice  of  a  dentist. 
There  Is  no  tmde  more  overrun  with  quackery- 
dangerous  quackery— than  that  of  dentist. 
Never  attempt  to  crack  nuts  with  your  teeth. 
You  may  crack  the  teeth  Instead,  and  some  day, 
when  you  have  forgotten  all  about  the  nuts,  you 
will  probably  bo  surprlsod  to  And  tho  halt  of  one 
of  your  best  teeth  drop  off. 
Avoid  toothpicks  as  much  as  you  can.  Use  a 
quill  If  anything.  Never  under  any  comslderatlon 
use  a  pin.  Ho  you  know  what  may  happen  If  you 
do*  Why,  odonlahjia,  caries,  ijauipiiUisls,  odonto- 
r>hleamotu’  and  ofUmt^  Oh,  don’t  7  well,  I  won’t ; 
but  you  mustn’t  use  pins  for  toothpicks;  you 
wouldn’t  like  to  have  rhlxoaortlryi/ij  performed  on 
yon,  would  you  7 
Give  you  a  cure  for  toothache  7  Well,  I’m  sure 
I  wish  I  could.  You  see  toothache  Is  of  various 
kinds,  and  arises  from  varloms  causes.  If  the 
teeth  arc  decayed,  they  had  better  bo  cleaned 
and  stopped,  and  they  will  last  you  for  life.  If 
the  toothache  proci’cds  from  Inflammation,  rinse 
the  mouth  frequently  with  a  strong  solution  of 
blcarV)0nate  of  soda  In  hot  water;  take  a  strong 
aperient  In  the  shape  of  Epsom  salts;  stop  the 
tooth  with  cotton- wool  steeped  In  chloroform, 
creosote,  oil  or  cloves,  cajej)ut  oil  or  tannic  acid 
In  ether.  It  yon  think  It.  proceeds  from  neuralgia, 
take  an  aperient  and  several  largo  (.H  or  i  grain) 
doses  of  quinine,  and  continue  the  quinine  three 
times  a  day,  In  one-grain  doses,  for  a  fortnight 
after  tho  toothache  has  gono.  ft  ought  to  bo 
comforting  to  know  that  If  attention  Is  paid  to 
the  state  of  the  stomach  and  gonerul  health,  if 
plenty  of  exercise  Is  Indulged  in,  if  we  arc  temper- 
arc  In  eating  and  drinking,  and  take  ovr  ynoi  ning 
bath  pleasantly,  neither  toothache,  foul  breath 
nor  spongy  gums  ivlU  ever  be  our  unhappy  lot ; 
and,  as  an  Irishman  would  say,  the  only  tooth- 
powder  we’ll  want  will  be  clear  cold  water. 
One  word  In  conclusion  to  so-called  “martyrs 
with  toothache.”  uet  the  tooth  out.  Don’t  h(.;8l- 
tate  a  moment.  Oc  to  the  most  rc-spectable  den- 
0.st  within  a  radius  of  ten  rnUes  and  ask  him  to 
extract  the  offending  molar.

THE  WASP  AND  THE  SPIDER. 
A  WASP  entangled  Iteolf  In  tho  weh  of  a  aptdor 
and  the  spldor  attacked  It.  'The  fight  lasted  fifteen 
minutes  when  tho  wasp  wa.«i  conquered.  “  ought 
we  to  have  released  tho  wasp  7  •’  'I'hlH  la  the  ques¬ 
tion  (or  as  much  of  It  as  need  bo  given)  asked  in 
the  Rural  of  Juno  IT.  Wc  promised  to  send  a 
little  present  to  the  boy  or  girl  under  twelve  years 
or  age  tnat  snould  make  the  brightest  answer. 
Well,  dear  UtOo  hoys  and  girls,  it  quite  puzzles 
us,  among  many  answers,  to  determino  which  is 
the  brightest  and  although  seemingly  a  little 
matter,  wo  think  It  one  that  should  bo  most  care¬ 
fully  and  fairly  decided. 
somo  of  the  answers  are  very  funny.  For  In¬ 
stance,  A.  Kousk  replies No,  Y'ou  ought  to 
have  killed  them  both,” 
Amir  says “  Yes.  Why  ?  Because  It  Is  wrong 
to  let  one  Insect  hurt  another." 
Davir  K.  Pine  replies:— I  think  you  ought  not 
to  have  taken  the  wasp  away,  for  If  you  had  done 
80,  It  might  have  .stung  you. 
Mattib  K.  Saundkws  thlnk.s  “lho  wasp  ought 
not  to  have  boon  released  because  ho  went  there 
of  his  own  free  will  and  accord;  thereforo  let  him 
got  out  the  best  way  he  could  or  take  the  conse¬ 
quences.” 
Anna  McMillbn  Is  both  tunny  and  highly  poet¬ 
ical.  She  says : 
’•  I  thluk  you  wore  right 
Not  to  mocldlfl  wiGi  tho  fight ; 
For  If  you  had  cutered  tho  ring, 
Yon’il  got  for  your  tronblc  a  wting  1’’ 
Mamir  MoMn.T.BN's  answer  is  thoughtful  and 
excellent.  Indeed,  had  a  second  prize  been  offer¬ 
ed,  wo  should  have  awarded  It  to  her:— “You 
sliouhl  have  released  the  wasp,  fur  '  blessed  are 
the  merciful  -  for  they  shall  obtain  mercy.’” 
Nbllib  Wood  of  Fair  Haven,  Vt.,  replies  as  fol¬ 
lows;—'*  Yes.  ‘  Do  unto  others  as  you  would  that 
they  should  do  to  you.'  ” 
W«  dcteldft,  tjpon  our  conscience,  that  wo  deem 
this  answer  tho  “brightest.”  And  so  little  Nkl- 
i.iK  Wood,  with  many  hopes  that  this  may  be  the 
least  of  the  many  prizes  that  you  may  draw  in  the 
future,  we  send  you  by  mall  a  plant  of  the  new 
Pelargonium  “  Happy  Thought.” 
A  SUGGESTION  WORTHY  OF  ATTENTION. 
DXAK  Rl'ral  GiBia  AND  BOYS NOW  I  supposc 
you  will  wonder  who  I  am  and  what  I  have  to  say. 
You  may  possibly  think  that  I  might  just  as  well 
be  silent,  but  I  thluk  you  will  ho  patient  with  me 
and  read  what  I  want  to  say  to  you ;  and  If  any  of 
you  act  upon  my  suggestion,  1  shall  feel  amply 
repaid  ror  my  effort  in  your  behalf. 
some  of  your  letters  are  very  interesting,  and  I 
always  read  them  eagerly ;  but  I  will  confess  that 
1  often  put  down  the  paper  with  feelings  of  disap¬ 
pointment,  and  lor  tills  reason :  i  am  passionately 
fond  of  llowors,  and  have  long  been  looking  for  a 
letter  telling  us  something  about  them.  I  doubt 
not  that  many  of  you  love  flowers  as  well  as  I  do, 
and  know  more  about  their  cnlilvatlou,  habits, 
etc.  Don’t  you  think  you  could  write  much  about 
them  that  would  bo  read  with  delight  by  some  of 
your  friends  7 
Doubtless  many  of  you  Cultivate  flowers— some 
of  you,  perhaps,  (luJto  cxteruilvely— and  could  ten 
us  some  things  very  useful  to  begin ners.  Then, 
too,  If  you  ari!  studying  Botany,  you  ran  give  us 
many  good  hints— telling  all  about  the  wild  ilow- 
ersthat  grow  In  the  toresls  near  yoim homes.  I 
am  not  much  of  a  botanist,  but  l  like  nothing  bet¬ 
ter  than  going  to  the  woods  with  my  basket  after 
plants  and  flowers,  then  analyzing  them  and 
studying  their  hahlte,  peculiarities,  etc.  How 
eagerly  1  seek  lor  new  varieties— new  to  me,  at 
least. 
1  have  found  several  this  spring  that  1  never 
saw  hero  before,  though  they  are  very  common  In 
some  localities ;  the  sweet  Utllo  TruHlng  Arbutus 
I  look  for  In  vain.  Year  after  year  have  1  search¬ 
ed  for  It,  but  I  have  never  found  It  here,  ciayto- 
nla  Carollnlana  is  Indeed  a  Spring  Beautjr,  and  Its 
rarity  In  this  locality  makes  It  doubly  precious. 
It  Is  a  delicate  little  flower,  requiring  sharp  eyes 
to  discover,  uulosa  looking  for  “Uttle  things.” 
The  fragrant  UepaUcas  and  largo  Bath  Flowers 
you  are  all  doubtless  acquainted  with.  They  are 
BO  comsplcuous  you  cannot  help  seeing  them,  es¬ 
pecially  the  latter.  And  now  the  Azalea  or  com¬ 
mon  Swamp  Pink  is  delighting  all  lovers  of  wild 
flowers.  Its  bright,  pink  blossoms  and  delightful 
perfume  make  it  a  general  favorliA^.  There  are 
many  others  equally  worthy'  our  attenDon,  and 
Umo  spent  In  acquiring  a  knowledge  of  flowers 
will  never  be  misspent. 
When  we  feel  pretty  well  acqualuLcd  with  them, 
they  preach  such  giucelul,  truthful  Utile  .sci  uions, 
that  will  ulmObX  unconsciously  make  us  purer  and 
better.  Many  lessons  they  teach  us,  if  we  are  but 
willing  to  learn,  and  lu  their  cheerful,  unselfish 
lives  set  us  good  examples,  and  point  u.s  to  tho 
Land  where  flowers  do  not  fade.  Mar  Morris.
