Currine TretH.—The time the first teeth make their appearance varies, — but the following dates approximate the time: Central incisors from five to eight months after birth; lateral incisors from seven to ten: first molars from twelve to sixteen; cuspids, or eye-teeth, from fourteen to twenty ; second mo- lars from twenty to thirty-six. The first teeth should be protected from de- cay as far as possible by careful cleaning daily; if decay makes its appear- ance, the cavity should be promptly filled, and the tooth saved until dis- placed by the permanent teeth. About the sixth year, the first molars of the permanent teeth make their appearance. They are generally supposed to belong to the first or milk-teeth, and are frequently lost for want of care. A little more attention given to the first teeth would save parents and chil- dren sleepless nights and suffering. THE Eyres.—Damp, foggy weather, .the reflection of the bright sunshine, intense cold, dusty wind, reading on cars in motion, reading by gas or lamp- light when the light falls directly on the eyes, sitting before a glowing fire, wearing of glasses when not needed, wearing veils, and all indulgences that weaken the nervous system, injure the eyes. The most pleasing light for work is from a northern exposure. A shade that protects the eyes from the light that falls on paper, book or work is an advantage. The light should not come from different points, but that from behind the worker is best. A very weak or very bright light should be equally avoided. Diseases of the eye are often the result of general weakness, and in such cases local treatment has little effect. In fitting glasses to the eye great care should be taken to adjust the lens to the eye with accuracy. Crown glass is preferable to flint, on account of its superior hardness, its entire want of color, and its non-decomposition of light. Scotch pebbles are unobjectionable except as to cost. Dress.—The first object of dress is protection of the body, second to en- hance and bring out its beauty. Dress which does not enhance the beauty of the wearer, or which attracts attention from the wearer to itself, is out of taste. To be in correct taste it must be ‘‘ becoming,’’ and in this sense dressing is an art worthy of the attention and study of the most intellec- tual and accomplished woman. The beauty of dress, to a cultivated eye, does not lie in its money value, but in its perfection in detail and per- fect adaptation to the wearer and the occasion for which it is intended. Any simpleton in petticoats, who has plenty of money, can order her clothes from Worth, in the latest Paris styles, but some quiet woman, With brains and taste, in simpler costume, will be sure to outshine her in ‘‘society.’’? Low-necked dresses, dragging skirts, corsets and stays, pad- dings, heavy skirts which rest on the hips, heavy veils, high-heeled boots and every other unphysiological abomination in dress, mars beauty and de- . stroys health.
