WE get so used to our faces, we do not know how ugly we are most of us. Colour of hair we never become insensible to; of eyes, any peculiar feature. What we cannot mend we think of and grieve over. Strange to say, we tolerate faults of skin, which are almost always directly within our control. We do not know how happier people pity us! Look in the glass! Can you see no use for a soap that purges the skin of pallor and pimples and oil, that softens and smooths it, brings out the rose and alabaster? The secret of PEARS' SOAP is that it has no excess of alkali in it. You may use it, no matter how much, you cannot roughen the skin with it. Health is always beautiful. beauty there is none.

President-His Grace the DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND, K.G. HE Committee of the Royal National Life-Boat Institution Tarently appeal to the British Public for Funds to enable them to maintain their 303 Life-Boats now on the Coast and their Crews in the most perfect state of efficiency. This can only be effected by a large and permanent annual income. The Annual Subscriptions, Donations and Dividends are quite inadequate for the purpose. The Expenditure in 1890 was largely in excess of the Receipts. The deficiency had to be met from Legacies and other funded Capital. The Committee are confident that in their endeavour to provide the brave Lifeboatmen, who nobly hazard their lives in order that they may save others, with the best possible means for carrying on their great work, they will meet with the entire approval of the people of this the greatest maritime country in the world, and that their appeal will not be made in vain, so that the scope and efficiency of our great life-saving service, of which the Nation has always been so proud, may not have to be curtailed. Annual Subscriptions and Donations will be thankfully received by the Secretary, Charles Dibdin, Esq., at the Institution, 14 John Street, Adelphi, London, W.C.; by the Bankers of the Institution, Messrs. Coutts and Co., 59 Strand; Messrs. Herries, Farquhar, and Co., 16 St. James's Street; Messrs. Hoare, 37 Fleet Street, London; by all the other Bankers in the United Kingdom; and by all the LifeBoat Branches. (Incorporated by Royal Charter.) LIFE-BOAT SERVICES IN 1890. Lives saved.

The rewards granted by the Committee in recognition of these and other services connected with the Life-Boat cause comprised 28 Silver Medals, 3 Second and Third Service Clasps, 12 Binocular Glasses, 1 Aneroid Barometer, 1 framed Certificate of Service, 49 Votes of Thanks inscribed on Vellum and framed, and £5,464, including grants to the relatives of two men who were accidentally killed by being run over by Life-boat Carriages. The number of lives saved, either by the Life-Boats of the Society, or by special exertions for which it has granted rewards, since its formation, is 35,800; for which services 97 Gold Medals, 1 Gold Clasp, 1,061 Silver Medals and Clasps, 197 Binocular Glasses, 15 Telescopes, 4 Aneroid Barometers, 17 framed Certificates of Service, 1,333 Votes of Thanks inscribed on Vellum and framed, and £117,300 have been given as rewards. It should be specially noted that the Life-Boat crews, excepting when remunerated by the owners of vessels for property salvage services, are paid by the Institution for their efforts, whether successful or not, in saving life. The average expense of a Life-Boat Station is £1,050, which includes £700 for the Life-Boat and her equip ment, including Life-Belts for the crew, and Transporting Carriage for the Life-Boat, and £350 for the Boat-house (average cost). The approximate annual expense of maintaining a Life-Boat Station is £70. [P.T.O. IT DETERMINING THE ORIGIN OF DECAY OF THE TEETH. T has now been definitely established that decay of the Teeth originates from two main causes-ACIDITY and PARASITIC ACTION; Teeth of weak structure succumbing earlier than those of stronger make, but all alike, being more or less subject to these influences. Unfortunately this destructive action is most powerful where it is comparatively undisturbed; viz., in the chinks and crevices between the teeth-places where the cleverest manipulator of the tooth-brush altogether fails in rendering perfectly clean. It is needless to say that the teeth show their first signs of breakdown and decay in just these positions. The presence of Acid Action in the crevices of the teeth is of course, very simply determined by the blue litmus paper test, which when placed upon the prominent surfaces of the teeth remains unaffected but immediately reddens when placed in the crevices between the teeth. When it is reflected that the structure of the teeth is largely made up of Lime, it will be immediately seen how injurious must be the continued action of Acids, however dilute, and that in time a breakdown must occur in the structure of the enamel, leaving Parasitic Action to carry on the work of destruction. ANYONE WHO POSSESSES A GOOD MICROSCOPE settle the Parasitic question for himself. can Let him brush his teeth as carefully as possible, using whatever Dentifrice he pleases (EXCEPT "SALVINE,”) and then in order to test the efficiency of his cleansing process let him pass a thread of Silk between his teeth, and place the thread afterwards for inspection beneath the field of the microscope. He will probably start in surprise, because he will find the thread loaded with animal and vegetable parasites. Now let him wash his teeth with a little of the "SALVINE" DENTIFRICE, and then test them for either Acid or Parasites, HE WILL FIND BOTH ENTIRELY REMOVED. Price 1/-, 1/6, and 2/6.
