One such tooth taken from the fower Jaw of a medium shced skull (they can be removed without diffi­ culty, unlike the most of ours) is bent Into nearly a semicircle and measures live Inches along its outer curve. Only one inch of this length projects from the skull. The corresponding one from the upper Jaw Is bent into more than a complete half circle and measures upon ltaT outer face four inches, of which less than an inch protrudes from Its bone casing. In width each tooth is live-eighths of an Inch.

The tooth is composed of two ma­ terials. Along the outer face or front of the tooth Is a thin plate of exceed­ ingly bard enamel. On the Inner, form­ ing the body of the tooth, is a sub­ stance called dentine. The dentine, being softer, wears away with use. The thin enamel remains comparative­ ly unworn, so that the tooth assumes the shape of a keen chisel that never grows dull. The tooth Is hollow at the base for half its length and is filled with a nourishing substance which keeps It constantly growing. Better than a Planter.

Those of the rich are often exceedi:;sly valuable, and any amount of them are worn. A Hindoo lady Wears a large nose ring, a number of rlnfrs In her ears, bangles galore on her Wrists and arms, anklets of silver or gold and a ring on every toe. These or­ naments are very becoming to her dark beauty, and naturally they are a great source of pleasure, but unfortunately one which, together with the wearing of colors. Is denied to widow*, whose lot is a particularly hard one. Anyhow a Hindoo woman has not a particularly cheerful life, for as she, must never look upon the face of any . man but her husband it is spent entire­ ly in hor heme, which, even if she be rich, is not In the least pretty. The rooms are small and dingy, have bare walla, very little furniture, and their only outlook is upon the interior court­ yard, which is not made bright and pretty, but Is usually without a vestige of tree or flower.
