WHATEVER unsettles the titles to
settlers lands in any state or section
of that state works most disastrously,
no matter upon what pretext these
land titles are thus disturbed. Iowa
had quarrel between the old Des
Moines River Improvement company
and the state, each claiming title.
The lands were settled, and after years
of improvement the titles to those
lands were voided and the deeds held
by settlers declared to be invalid.
Eviction was attempted by the Des
Moines River Improvement company.
Fights, bloodshed, murder, litigation
and the Intervention of the United
States Supreme Court were all resort
ed to, and after nearly half century
of distur bance the title to valuable
farms is still undecided. Texas is pre-
pairing the way for just such q future
in the controversy now opened be-
tween the attorney general and the
railway corporations whose land
grants he is attempting to annul. The
men who have settled on lands and
made homes are the men who will
suffer and as these homes were estab-
lished in good faith in the railroad
titles passed by the state, it is the
duty of the state to protect these titles
rather than to assail them. The I'M
settling of titles in this manner will
prove very injurious to Texas in the
end. Titles are none too secure in
many sections now where the old
Spanish grants cover more recent con-
veyances, and to add to this confusion
as Attorney General Hogs course
certainly will, is only to make bad
matters worse.

teeth OF CHILDREN,
Information of u General Nature as
Their Care and Treatment.

Information of q General Nature as to
Their Care and Treatment.
1t is not generally known that upon
the care taken of child's teeth the
permanent teeth depend. These baby
teeth are usually thought of very
lightly, and only the few wise mothers
are careful about preserving and keep
ing them till their proper time of fall
ing out. As soon as child's teeth begin
to show signs of decay it should be
taken to thoroughly trustworthy
dentist and if the tooth can be saved
till it's proper time for falling out it
should be filed. At the child's sixth
year, the permanent begin to appear,
and four large molars push through
the gums back of the temporary teeth.
These teeth are a great drain upon the
strength of delicate child and often
begin to decay early. This decay
should be arrested by some temporary
filling and when the child is older can
be replaced with gold or something
else permanent. Mothers often allow
their children's molar teeth to decay

them to decay, as some suppose, but
this decay is caused by the child's
neglect of it's toothbrush. ill-health, or
some similar cause. A good home

a nerve except DIS last resort, because
a dead tooth does not last so long as a
live one. When q nerve is killed
every atom of the nerve matter must
be removed before the tooth is filled or
serious consequences will ensue. A

trouble as aquack doctor. and is nearly

After all supplies from outside had
been cut off (22d September, 187O) it
was determined to sacrifice the inmates
of the Geological Gardens (the Jardin
des Plantes.) The animals were slagh-
tered and eaten. Geoffry Saint-Hillaire
has drawn up list from accounts kept
at the time. from which we learn that
from the 18th of October to the end of
1870 the following were sold and eaten
in the order given: One dwarf zebu,
f14; two buffaloes, f12; two Sambour
stays. $50; twelve carp, f6; two yaks,

butcher named Deboos-the name, by

plants, Castor and Pollux, presented
some difficulty. The former was fired
at three times. and was finally dis
patched by means of a steel bullet from
a Chassepot. A single shot behind the
ear brought Pollux to the ground. The
flesh of the elephant was sold at 5Of
to 6Of. a kilo. Trunk and feet were
regarded as particular deli,acies by
the gourn|ts. The same butcher sold
the flesh of a voting wolf at 24f. a kilo.

Washington was dressed in q FULL

an eagle on them, and with a steel
hllted dress sword. white silk stock
ings. and plain silver shoe-buckles.
His hair was dressed and powdered in
the fashion of the day and worn in q
bag and solitaire" Chancellor Robert
X. Livingston, one of the committee of
five to draft the Declaration of Inde-
pendendence, thirteen years before,
was dressed in full suit of black
cloth and wore the robe of office. just
before the oath was to be administered
1t was discovered that no Bible was in
Federal Hall. Luckily Livingston, a
Grand Master of Free Masons, knew
that there was one at St. Johns Lodge
in the City Assembly Rooms near by,
and a messenger was dispatched to
borrow the Bible, which is to-day the
property of St. Johns Lodge No. l, the
third Oldest Masonic lodg in the United
States.
''Secretary Otis, of the Senate, held
before him red velvet cushion, upon
which rested the open Bible of St.
Johns Lodge. ''You do solemnly
swear said Livingston, ''that you will
faithfully execute the office of Presi-
dent of the United States, and will, to
the best of your ability, preserve, pro-

replied Washington, ''that will faith
fully execute the Office of President of
the United States, and will, to the
best of my ability. preserve, protect,
and defend the Constitution of the
United States.'' He then bowed his
head and kissed the sacred Book, and
with the deepest feeling uttered the
words: $50 help me God!' The Chan
cellor then proclaimed: "Long live

of thirteen cannon followed, and with

in DEATHS PRESENCE
An Incident In Reporters Experience
q" - and Its Moral.

An Incident In . Reporters Experience
and It's Moral.
Statistics show that three occupa-
tons in life, viz. physicians, clergy
men and newspaper reporters are par
ticularly exempt from the vice of sui
eide. This is curious fact. No other
fields of work furnish a man with so
many and SO valid excuses for becom-
ing heartily disguised with his fellow
human beings and so heartily ashamed
of longer condescending to be counted
among them.
This reflection was forced upon what
a reporter is pleased to call his mind
very forcibly yesterday afternoon.
The routine work of his calling had
led him TO the Office of a well-kuown
undertaken. To his surprise he found
crowd in front of the place. 1t was
composed almost entirely of alleged
women and girls who in a year or two
will become their like. The reporter
forced his way through the throng and
gained admittance.
"What's the trouble here?" he
asked, and for an answer the door
keeper gave thumb-jerk towards the
back room. where lay something stiff
and rigid under white sheet, with an
exposed face which was once that of a
girl, but now belonged to that sexless
thing, corpse.
Then the reporter remembered that
q poor child had seen fit to kill herself
and end somewhat imaginary troubles
in a very revolving way on the Sunday
before. and that what was left of her
had been taken to this particular
morgue.
And this was why these hard-fea-
tured, well-dressed women and short
skirted chattering girls were crowding
about the place, forcing their way in
to pass in line around what was left
of an erring woman, CRAFTY a low curl
osity, and come out giggling, with what
impression on their inchoate brains no
mortal may know any thing about ex-
cept that it was not an improving one.
1t was a sight calculated to make any
man confirmed misogynist.
There was, here and there, man in
line, but every one took his hat off with
at least some show of reverence, and
more than one came out with wet eyes.
The reporter didn't go in. He didn't
have to. He took down from the GER
tificates of death handed him in the
outer room such facts as he wanted,
and turned TO return them to the gen.
tleman who had kindly intrusted him
with them for that purpose.
This person happened to be standing
at the head of the bier at the time, and,
seeing the reporters inquiring look.
said briskly: "Just put them back in
the office" The reporter complied I'M
concernedly and went his way.
Then he stood on a bridge and
thought a while. There was an excuse
for him and an excuse for the under
takers man. Both, by the nature of
their vocation, arc hardeNed to this
sort of thing. But what excuse was
there for those alleged women? What
excuse is there for state of society
that does not put a stop by the strong
hand of the law to- such indecencies?-

An Old Time Partisan.

It 10 easy to recall to mind his familiar
figure as he sits, during winter evenings,
in his favorite corner.

his silvcr-rimmed ''specs'' pushed back

beloved snow-white head, with eyes spark

he calls back old memories of DAYS long
gone by, he is likely to talk something after
this fashion,:
Its long time since was a boy. All,
but that was many years ago. Sixty long
years have gone and the good Lord knows
they were short enough. I was then as
spruce and pert as any chap thereabouts.
'Oh, but we boys were boys! Things
have changed heap since those days.
Boys then didn't tax. much stock in stylish
clothes and they didn't carry canes like
they do now. Clothes and canes didn't cut
much caper then, but it was good hard
sense and work.
1.-THE boy who could do the biggest davis
work-could cut the most wood, split the
most rails, plow the most corn, was the
most envied for he was sure to have the
sweetest and best lookin' gal at the sslngin'
school or 'apple-peeiin'.'
II tell you those were good old times!
II didn't think any thing of going thirty
mile or more to see your grandmother,
and we didn't have very good roads either,
but generally had to follow some old Indian
trail.
"Talkin' about sickness then, there was
no sickness like now. II we had a cold, a
pain, or any thing, there was the best med.
icine in the world found in any log cabin
home you came across. Why, remember
that my old grandmother, God bless her
soul, she's been dead these fifty years or
more, could make the best home made
medicine for miles around Her 'sarsapa-
rilly' couldn't be beat. Come to think
just read in the paper about somebody who
is making this same old log cabin medicine,
under the name of Warmers Log Cabin

1T does seem sple ndid to think that you
can buy those good old home cures at the
druggists nowadays.

healthy in those days, but tell you that it
was mighty seldom anybody was sick loug

How John Chinaman Prays,

When John Chinaman goes to pray
in his own orthodox style, and not
''allee samee Melikan man." he stands
on a carpet in front of the high altar
on which sits the lifc-sized, gorgeously
dressed god, "Joss.' In his hands he
holds two pieces of wood, round on one
side and fiat on the other. After say
ing his prayers he drops these on the
carpet, and according as they fall he
knows whether or not the prayer is
answered. If both sticks fall on their
fiat side the omen is very bad; if one
falls on the fiat, the other on it's round
side, his prayer is granted; if both fall
on their round sides it is sign of be-
ing partially granted. Another way
of praying is by means of small strips
of red paper. on which the prayer is
printed, and then pinned to the wall
near the door. If Chinese woman
wishes for q son she sends in her
printed slip; if a Chinaman wishes to
send a horse or house to some de-
parted spirit he cuts out an image of it
on the slip. Fire is the means of COM
municatirg with heaven, 80 after awhile
the priest ourns all these paper prayers
in handsome bronze furnace, which
stands outside the door, and thus they
supposed to go direct to hsaven,-
