fancied himself wildly in love.
Mr.. Jenkins felt that he had not ar

hairs. He had only just passed his 4Oth
birthday. However, it was a family
popularity. and he must submit to it
with the best grace that he could mus
ter.
But all at once light dawned on his
gloomy dissatisfaction. On 3ne of his
quarterly visits to the city, for the pur-
pose of receiving his bank dividends,
his attention was called to a placard
upon wall, wherein the merits of Hig-
ginbotam's celebrated hair dye were set
forth in large capitals. 3

in a low tone for Higgin bstam's cele-

wrapping up the bottle, he assured the
deligh ted customer that it was decidedly
the best thing of the kind in the mar
ket, and would make him look at least
ten years younger.
''Sophronia Jones shall be mine, =
said Jenkins, exultingly, as he pushed
the bottle into his overcoat pocket and
made his way to the railroad station.
He was anxious to be at home in or
der to test the wonderful effects of the
celebrated hair dye. The ride over and
ly took his way to the resideade of Mrs.
Selma Wiggin, where he boarded. He
seemed in unusual spirits, which led
Mrs Wiggin to imagine that the banks

GERMS OF TEETH.
Their Development One OF the Most
tsresting Phases of Growth.

Their Development One OF the Most In
tsresting Phases of Growth.
The development of tooth germs, from
infancy to mature life, is one of the
most interesting phases of human
growth. Pass the finger along the tiny
jaw of the newcomer. Not only is
there nothing which presages future
teeth, but the jaws themselves seem
too delicate and frail ever to become
the sockets for such hard working por-
tions of the anatomy. Yet there are
fifty-two tooth germs hidden there,
waiting their time, though not all of
them could be detected by the most
skillful dissection. Twenty of these
are for the temporary teeth, with
which, in due time, the child will begin
to gnaw OR chew his way through life;
the others include the permanent set
and the molars, none of which begin to
make their presence known till the child
is about six years DID, and the wisdom"
teeth do not usually appear till about
eighteen.
The little pulp-germ grows and devel-
ops till it approXimates the shape of the
tooth it is to become; then it begins to
calcify, forming the dentine part of the
crown, while the enamel is deposited
by an independent process. The sur
face of the crown attains its full size
before the process of elongation COM
mences. Then gradually it pushes it's
way outward through the gum, absorb
ing the tissue as it advances till the
pure white enamel peeps out, to the
mothers great delight The first Of
the incisors usually appears at about
the age of five months, and the tempo
rary set of twenty is completed at about
three years of age; but there is no uni
formity Or certainty in regard to the
age, or which of the four central incis-
ors will first appear. The process of
''teething" is almost Invariably one of
disturbance to the health of the child;
he is liable to fret and worry, especially
if the outer mem brane or skin of the
gum proves tenacious, and does not
readily absorb. In this case it should
be lanced; an operation which is hui

of the child, and entirely harmless, as
there is seldom any hemorrhage worth
the name, and if there should be a slight
flow of blood it readily yields to simple
treatment. The application of dust

HIS HUMBLE OPINION.

s.I'd set my heart on raisin' JohfA''
The worthy farmer said,
With Just a glance at little hat
That hung up in the shed.
HE was so cunning, and so peart,
And fonder of his dad
always used to tell 'em So
Than any child had.
HE listened to each word I spoke
In such reverent way
AS II he really thought that I
Had something wise to say;
And though might be rather harsh
To Tom. the scamp. or Jim,
never was the least bit rough
AT any time to him.
''1 couldn't be. And once, when Tom
Had made me tearin' mad,
And 1 went out toward the barn
To exercise the CAD,
The little fellow John ran up,
And clambered DER me so,
All thoughts of anger left my breast;
could not strike blow.
ST pondered many Bible verse,
Those texts of Holy Writ,
And all around my little child
Their meanings seemed to fit;
And Oft felt as Joseph must,
In olden Galilee,
AS If the boy within my home
Did not belong to me.
81 used to wonder how he learned
The many things he knew
About the mountains and the woods,
And all the flowers that grew;
And though he went to deestrick school,
Along o. Tom and Jim,
Twas plain enough to see we all
Were going to school with him.
81 didn't sense it then. The0sun,
When close, will6Slind the eyes;
4and often angels in our midst
We fail to recognize.

AS often I've allowed;

FEDERAL SUPERVISION.

o Measure Obnoxious to a Republican
Form of Government.
The purpose of the Republican party
in the Federal elections bill is to place
the election of mem berS of the House of
Representatives under the control of
Federal Of6ce-holders, and its scope is
such that it will virtually control the
election of the various State officers,
abrogating State laws enacted to secure
fair elections.
The bill provides for the appointment
of chief supervisor in every judicial
district in the United States. There
are seventy of these districts.
The chief supervisors appoint three
supervisors for each voting precinct,
who are practically to conduct the cleo
ton. Two OF these officers are to be
selected from one party and the third
from the opposite party, but the ma ior-
ity are to have the power to decide upon
all matters that come before them. This
is very cunningly devised scheme for
partisan purposes.
All of the election machinery is
placed in the hands of partisan boards,
and they can return as elected to Con-
gress whoever they may see fit, the
States having no power to control their
action in counting the votes or certify
ing to the returns, nor can they pun
ish them for any crimes or frauds COM
mitted under this bill.
The promoters of this bill know in
advance that Line out of ten of the
chic t supervisors appointed will be Re-
publicans; they will appoint the super
visors at. each voting precinct, end it
is absolutely certain that two of these
men will be Republicans, Gho will have
complete control of the board
Deputy marshals are to be appointed
without limit IS to number, to attend
upon registration and voting. The
bill authorizes these Federal officers to
make house-to-house canvass through
out each district. The doors of every
dwelling must be flung open to these
partisan spies, many of whom will be
negroes. and all questions about the
family history which they may be dis
posed to ask must be answered, or arrest
and imprisonment will follow.
No scheme could have been devised
by the worst enemies of the South
better calculated to renew sectional
hatred.
A bill more obnoxious to a Republi-
can form of government was never pre-
sented to legislative body. Its pur-
pose is wholly partisan, and emanated
from few politicians whose desire is
to perpetuate themselves in power,
though to do so it be necessary to revo-
lutionize the Government and take
from the people the last vestige of their
rights
It is the first attempt in the history
of our Governments to wrest from the
people the election of their representa-
tives and place it in the hands Of an inn
mense army of Federal officers
This bill. in my Judgment should i.
become a Law, will revive the old sec
tional feeling and bring about con-
flict between the white and colored
races. It will turn back the wheels of
progress and depress the industries not
only in that section but throughout
the entire country. The business and
3air-minded men Of the North, with ont
regard to party, should protest in the
most vigorous manner against the pass

The Growth of Trees.

The correlation that for long time
was supposed to exist between the num-
Der of sannular" rings formed in the
trunk and the age Of the tree has been
refuted on the best of evidence. M.
Charency, the French explorer who Wis
tied the ruins of Plenque, Mexico, in
1889. and again in 1882, and therefore at
an interval of % years. found that trees
that had been cut by him in the first
named year had, in the short space of
less than quarter of a century, grown
new trunks which exhibited no less than
$50 of these so-called ''annular rings"
an average of nearly 10 year. From
observations made by NJ. Bousenard, it
would appear that equatorial plants
often form no less than 12 concentric
growths in the space of a year, two of
which are usually much more developed
than the remainder, which appear to
correspond to a period of maximum cir
culatory activity.-St Louis Republic.
