Use of the Toothpick.

Strict cleanliness is the principal thing to
be observed in the care of the teeth. After
eating, remove from the teeth all particles OF
food with a toothpick, but never, on any &C.
count, Use pin for this purpose, which is
customary with some. This practice in
dulged in frequently will injure the teeth far
more than any one would suppose. Use the
wooden toothpick, Of which there are two
kinds, the sharp pointed and the fiat pointed.
The first is all very well if it does not split,
leaving a small splinter between the teeth or
under the gums, which is very disagreeable,
If not actually painful For this reason the
fiat pointed one is the best. Rinse the mouth
thoroughly with lukewarm water after eat
ing, if it can be conveniently done.-Boston

Invention of "A Charitable Woman.


The wife of Mr.. E. Prentss Bailey, of The
Utica Observer, has inventive as well as
philanthropic genius. Long an earnest
worker in fields Of charity, she found that in
the hospitals it was often necessary to en-
ploy extra nurses to move patients, and that
the task was always strain both upon the
sick and those in charge of them. She saw
and contrived a way in which to help the
sick to help themselves and it is very simple
and effective.
Two iron sockets are attached firmly to the
sides of a bedstead by screws, and into these
are fitted short poles, and between the poles
is suspended horizontal bar also fitted into
clamps, and adjustable to any height above
the head of the patient lying on the bed.
From this bar hang pair of strong straps
with grips and these can be moved from
right to lett at will. BY grasping these straps
the sick man can utilize the strength of the
arms to lift himself up, to change his posi-
ton, to turn over and to allow the bedding
to be changed
There are n variety OF attachments to tho
invention, which extend its usefulness indef-
nitely. One is a rest for the leg, in which a
broken limb can be placed while it is being
dressed. 1t is only necessary to unscrew the
sockets attached to the bedstead and change
their location, to utilize this. Another is a
small table for medicines book, anything
that patient wants within immediate reach.
Another is II curtain rod, likely TO be espe-
cially serviceable III hospital wards, to avoid
draft, to shut out the light, or to afford u
degree of privacy.
Mrs BaileyS invention has been in use for
some time in Paxton Hospital at Utica,
where it is found to be the greatest comfort
and convenience i'll n large number OF cases.

THE death of Chief Justice Waite
bereaves the Nation Of one of the
most notable men of our time. JUS
tice Waite was called to the position
of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
by President Grant at a time when
there were great constitutional
questions requiring adjudication.
He was doubtless selected with
a view to political bias upon those
questions; but he rose above politics
and even declined to score on the
Electoral Commission in 1876 to de-
eide the Presidency. His decisions
have been eminently free from the
bias which the party in power
looked for. In the Chicago Elevator
cases he signalized himself by de-
cision which has clearly established
the principle that the people have
through their legislatures right to
regulate all kinds of traffic which di-
rectly affect the public. He was a
man of great purity of character, and
will take rank as jurist with the
great men who have preceded him in
his exalted Office. ESQ

Since that time Mr.. Paynter, who
was a practical printer, has been en-
gagged nearly continuously in the COM
posing department Of the HERALD.
Mr.. Paynter leaves a wife and
young family, and large circle OF
friends to grieve over his loss. He
was quiet, unassuming man,

MiracuIons Escape.

Thursday night man suffering
with delirium tremens coming to this
city on train No. 20, from the East,
imagined that he was about to be rob-
bed or murdered, and when point
about two miles west of Cotton was
reached he jumped out of the car
window while the train was going at
it's highest rate of speed. An engine
was sent back and a diligent search
made for his mangled remains, but
he was nowhere to be found. Yester-
day morning he turned up at a farm
house, with b dly bruised face and
a broken collar-bone. He was given

SANTA FE WORK.
How Construction IL Going ON
ALONG the Line.

How Construction IL Going ON
Along the Line.
The work of construction on the
Santa Fe Railways extensions in this
State is now proceeding quite fact, and
judging from the good time being
made,- it will not be long before every
thing now on hand will be completed.
The track-layers on the Redondo Line
are getting along splendidly, and in
six days more the rails will be laid
and only few days more will be re-
quired to properly equip the road
Tor the passage OF trains. By the
first of April everything will
be in readiness, and trains will then
commence running. AS soon as the
men finish there they will be sent to
San Juan-by- the Sea, where they will
commence laying rails toward Ocean
side. AT the time Of their starting at
San Juan another large force of track
layers will begin laying rails from
Oceanside toward th7m. The grading
from this city toward Santa Ana has
been completed, with one exception,
to Anaheim, and graders are now at
work bet set n that place and Orange,
and will finish everything from this
city to that place in ten days. The
exception mentioned is at Buena
Park. There the present route crosses
an alkaline marsh, which may in
the future give the company some
trouble. Accordingly, this part of the
road is, as yet, in doubt, and may be
changed entirely. However, steps
have been taken that will speedily
settle the matter. The intention is to
finish the grading as soon as possible,
and when it is finished to Orange, the
entire line from this city to San Diego
will be ready for the rails. Inside OF
two weeks time huge force of track
layers will commence laying rails at
the south bank of the Los Angeles
River, Just outside of the southern
limits Of this city, and will put them
down as fast as possible towards
Orange. The intention is to finish
the entire work at one time. The
grades that will commence at the
river will be taken from the line to
San Jacinto, where they are now lay
ing rails. This road will be finished
in ten days time and in operation a
few days later. The reason the
track-layers will not commence laying
the rails at the place where the road
connects with the Ballona Beach is
because a bridge will have to be
placed on the river. Being outside OF
the city limits it not necessary to con-
form to the requirements Of bridge
building inside the boundary lines, and
&C ,ordingly it will not take more than
week Or tn days to place bridge
across tire river, that will be per-
':ec ly satisfactory to the railroad COM
pany. They will start a pile-driver
at each bank and drive piles until
they meet i'll the centre. The stringers
for the ties can then be put in place,
he ties put down and the track later
Oh. The bridges between San juan
by-the-Sea and Oceanside will be
complete by the time the track-layers
arrive at them. Rails and ties are on
hand, and in less than two months
time everything will be in running
order.

THE trio OF worthy ladies who have
crossed the great frog pond to take
part in the deliberations Of the Nation
al Convention of Women Suffragists
at Washington, are high-minded wo.
men, with characters above reproach,
and intelligent beyond the usual run.
But they have a grievance. They
want to vote, 1t is limited that they
would like to be men, but that is
doubtful. They simply want the fe-
male anserine bird to depend altitud-
inarianly-so high that it can ruffle
the feathers of the American eagle at
each autumnal election. The leader
of this complex but brilliant triad is
Mrs. Ashton Dixie. She was Miss
Margaret Smith, and was educated at
Orleans and passed examination for
schoolmistress. In 1876 she married
Ashton w. Dixie, second son of Sir G.
Wentworth Dixie. 1t took but two
years OF married life for her to become
a women suffragist, and in 1878 she
became an active advocate OF the
cause, and delivered speeches and
lectures on the subject over all Eng
land. Mr.. Dixie wandered over to
Algiers and died there ia 1888.
In the same year Widow Dixie
welded the Dispatch, a popular work
ingmen's paper, and is now its man.
aging editor. Mrs. Dixie is very small
and slender, almost angular, with a
large, rather masculine head and thin
neck and arms. Her eyes are of a
light greyish color and deep set. High
and prominent cheek bones and a
firm heavy lower jaw give her the ap-
pearance not quite that of an English
woman. But why do those British
maids, matrons and widows came
here to disturb cur peace? Have we
not affiiction enough in Susan B. An
thony, Doctor Mary Walker, and
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, not to men,
ton Belva V. Lockwood. Surely we
have enough of these brilliant female
politicians of indigenous growth, with
out resorting to such exotics as the
Dilkes.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
Letters From Two Prominent
Gentlemen of the North.

Gentlemen of the North.
The proposition to hold the State
Democratic Convention in this city
appears to be meeting with some favor
in the North, and the fight for it will
not be given up until the decision as
to location has been reached. Mr..
Sidney Lacey, who has taken an ac-
tive interest in having the convention
held here, has among others received
the following letters:
SAN Francisco, March 21, 1873.
To Hon. Sidney Lacey, Los angeles:
MY DEAR LACEY Your letter about
the place for holding the State Con-
vention reached me in due time, and
while | am disinclined to commit, my.
self positively, l will say that it will
require pretty strong arguments at the
meeting of the State Central Commit
tee to make me believe that any other
place is more suitable at this time,
and under present circumstances, than
Los Angeles.
1t looks, from the dispatches from
Washington this morning, as if Lynch
would get away with Vandever. l
hope will. Truly yours,
GEO. T. MARYE, JR.
SAN Francisco, March 21, 1888.
Mr.. Sidney Lacey, Los angeles:
DEAR SIR-I was not member OF
the old committee, therefore not
under pledge. l have done nothing
in this matter one way or the other,
except to promise Fred Cox to vote
for Sacramento, and this | did before l
knew that you were going to make a
fight for the convention. Is Los An
geles is willing to concede the next con-
vention TO Sacramento. l think they
ought to let you have this one, and |
shall urge them to do SO, but if they
insist | cannot go back on my promise.
From what l hear l think you:: will get
the convention any way. Respectfully,
A. G. PAULsELL.
