A transformed Buttercup.

To look at these queer, irregular blue
flowers, growing on a long and hand
some spike in the old-fashioned garden
border, nobody would ever dream Of
saying that they were in reality altered
and modified buttercups. And yet that
is just what they really are, with all the
marks of their curious pedigree still
clearly impressed on their very form.
Pull one of the blue blossoms of, and
pick it carefully to pieces, and you will
see how strangely and profoundly it has
been distorted by insect selection.
Monk s-hood is most essentially bee
flower. and in examining it we see the
results of bee action plainly set forth in
every organ. If we pick common
meadow buttercup for comparison with
IL, we shall be able to see exactly where
in the two flowers differ, rs well as why
the one has gained an advantage in the
struggle for existence over the other

CHILDREN's TEETH.
Some Facts That Should be Known
to Parents.

The deformities AMI Gro owied condi-
ton OF the teeth in the mouth of the
children OF the present generation is
greatly owing to the neglect of the de-
ciduous or irst teeth of the child. How
few parents are there who. after the ba-
bv has gotten over the p,ins and sick.
nesses incident to "cutting it's teeth"
ever trouble themselves to look again
into the little ones mouth until their at
tention is again called to the matter by
the sufferings Of the chill caused by de.
caving molars.
The poor thing has the toothachs and
is hurried away to the dentist to have
that offender "pulled with vitalized air''
without pain, and 80 deformity begins
that ofttimes only ends with dea b.
The mDlars or back teeth of the tenn
porsry set are more apt to decay than
the incisors or trout teeth, and hence
the necessity of occasionally looking
into the mouth otsthe child that YOU
may oh ,erve the commencement of de-
cav. Have it arrested and the teeth
spared until the time comes for them to
be replaced by the second or permanent
set
More injury is doEe to the permanent
set by the early loss Of the temporary
teeth than by their remaining too long
in the mouth. An early loss OF the
temporary molars tends toward causing
the first permanent, or six year old mo-
lars, as they are sometimes called, to
come further forward in the mouth than
is natural, and so giving less room for
the teeth that take the place of those Of
the first set. BY retaining the FIRST set
until the proper time for them to he ex.
PEELED, the jaws have q uuch better op-
portunity to expand, thus giving in most
cases ample room for the larger teeth Of
the second set to erupt in natural pa-
sition and avoiding deformities
When Irregularities occur the danger
ef decay is far greater than when there
is an even and perfect set. In all cases,
but especially In case Of irregularities,
the brush should be applied both per.
pendicularly and horizontally, to remove
the debris left by mastication, which
will surely destroy the enamel if left to
remain for any length Of time 1t nat
ters but little to the individual whether
the particles Of food forced between the
teeth during the process Of mastication.
it permitted to remain. cause decay by
dissolving the lime salts OF which the
teeth are composed (as some we'll in
formed minds assert), or whether, as
Others insist, that it forms nest for the
propagation of bactaria. or a living form
of life that will prey upon the vitality
sof the tooth even as insect lite will of

FROM THE GRAVE.
By ELLA WHEELER

By ELLA WHEELER
When the first sers leaves Of the year were
falling,
] heard, with q heart that was strangely
thrilled,
Out Of the grave of dead Past calling,
A voice l fanoied forever stilled.
All through Winter. and Spring. and Summer,
Silence hung over that grave like pail;
But, borne on the breath of tho last sad conner,
listen again to the old-time call.
It is only love Of q by-gone season.
A sensslsss folly that mocked az me
A reckless passion that lacked all reason;
So killed it. and hid it whore none could see
I smethered it 6rst TO stop its crying.
Then stabbed it through with good SHARP
blade;
And cold and pallid saw it lying,
And deep-ahl deep-was the grave made.
But now know that there is no killing
A thing like Love, fo, it laughs at Death.
There is no hushing, there is no stiling.
That which is part of your life aud breath.
You may bury it deep. and leave behind you
The land, the people, that knew your slain;
1t will push the sods from its grave. and fint
you
On wastes of water or desert plain,
You may hear but tongues of foreign people
You may list to sounds that are strange and
new;
But, clear as q silver bell in the steeple,
That voice from the grave shall call to you.
You may rouse your pride, you may use youl
reason,
And seem for . space to slay Love 50;
But. all, in its own good time and season,
1t will rise and follow wherever ycu go.
You shall sit sometimes, when the leaves ar
falling,
Alone with your heart, as sit to-day,
And hear that voice fiom your deep Pas
calling.
Out Of the grave you hid away.

A Free Breakfast Tabfe.

New YORK Truth.
A number of journals, and among
them the stately Commercial Adver.
tiser, have begun to advocate Il free
breakfast table. This is very pretty
phrase, but in making sugar free the
country that will derive the most bene-
fit is Cubu. American sugar producers
who hire their labor cannot compete
with the Cuban planter VINO owns it.
Even now America sends nearly SI50,
100000 in gold every year to Cuba for
sugars, thus helping TO sustain Cuban
slavery in opposition to American free
labor, and enriching country which
discrimlnates against American pro-
ducts in its tax laws. Truth is also in
favor of free breakfast table, but does
not wish to secure it ~ the expense of
American sugar producers, or for the
benefit of Cuban and Spanish slave
drivers. Once the country had chance
to do it by the acquisition of Santa Do
mingo. Even now the whole island,
including Hayti, which is always in a
state of chronic revolution, might be
acquired. Its acquisition would give
us free breakfast table. Had there
Deen craftsmanship IN congress Twelve
years ago, when President Grant pro-
posed his Santa Domingo scheme, the
United States to-day could supply the
whole world with sugar, and every
American breakfast table would be free
with cigar after breakfast. The true
American policy is tG produce every
thing we consume and to manufacture
everything we use or wear. Until this
can be done, regardless of Cuban COM
petition in the matter of sugar, it is idle
to talk of free breakfast table.
