The decision of the Supreme court in the
original package case Is of some Importance,
though OF much less consequence than the
first decision in that matter. After Con-
gress had passed law allowing States to
legislate for the exclusion of liquors in
original packages the liquor dealers In some
western States set up the claim that this
congressional action did not resuscitate pro-
hibitory laws that had been enacted preyi-
GUS to 1t, and that, therefore. before a
state could legally confscate liquors in origi-
nal packages, or break up the traffic in them,
the legislature must pass a new law applica-
bic to the case. Their contention was that
the decision of the Supreme court of the
United States had killed so much of those
laws as related to liquor in original pack
eyes, and being dead, they could not be
Drought to life again by congressional action.
a Kansas Judge sustained this view of the
case, and an appeal was taken to the Sn-
preme court for final decision. The opin-
ion OF the court is not published yet, but in
substance 1t is reversal of the decision of
the Kansas judge, and holds that the con-
gressional act neutralized the effect of the
opinion Of the court and left the prohlbi-
tory laws In full force. Re-enactment is,
therefore, not necessary, and the prohibitory
laws are just as valid In all respects now as
they would be had they been enacted since
congressional action giving the States power

original packages instead of before.

The long struggle over the Florida sena-

of Senator Call. Calls opponents were few

rule they have succeeded for several months

not have done much worse than she has by
re-electing him. He counts for one vote, and
that is about the extent Of his influence.

THE HON E.
CARE oF aHILpREN,s TEETH,

CAKE OF SHILDRENS TEETH.
Very few mothers realize the necessity of
caring for and properly preserving child's
first teeth, so that they shall drop naturally
out of the jaw. without decay, when the
time comes. As soon as the child is able to
eat solid food the teeth should be taken note
Of. When the little one is three or four
there will often be decayed spots in the
teeth. These cavities should be treated at
once by dentist, and filled with the soft,
temporary cement, such as dentists use for
this purpose. This care of the first teeth not
only prevents the child's acute suffering with
toothache, but 1t keeps the mouth in clean
ly, wholesome condition, which conduces to
sound bodily health. The presence in the
mouths Of little children of foully decayed
teeth is given, on trustworthy authority, as
frequent cause af diphtheritic and other
fungoid diseases. Were it not for these
reasons, 1t would still be desirable to pre-
serve them to the proper time; for where the
teeth are removed too early the jaw does
not enlarge further, and when the permanent
teeth come in there is not room for them.
This is fruitful cause for the tapping and
protudiDg teeth which are SO often seen and
are exceedingly ugly.
The first permanent teeth come In when
the child is about six years Of age. These
are molars, and they come back of the milk
teeth. A few years after the child begins to
feel the front teeth loosening; and when the
teeth have been properly attended to, these
teeth may be taken out by the child with its
own fingers, with littls or no loss of blood.
The permanent tooth Is underneath, and it
is pushing against the milk tooth and absorb
ing the root, that causes the milk tooth to
come out. The writer has seen children take
out their canine teeth (the eye and stomach
teeth with their fir ip -naxfaetllx- Sound
sefbed BY the new teeth. Children whose
first teeth have been thoroughly cared for
have stronger and better teeth when the
permanent teeth come. At least once in six
months mother should examine the teeth
of her children with an Q, to possible cavi-
ties, and when necessary, see dentist with
out delay. Nothing is more absurd than to
tell child who Is put into dentists chair
that he is not to be hurt. Tell him firmly
that he will be hurt, but that the pain will
last but short time and he must bear it

DoN'Ts FOR AMATEURS.

Don't plant seeds as small as the eye of a
needle. such as petunia and portulaca, under
an inch of soil. They should be merely
covered. and that with soil as fine as you can
make it.
Don't pour water on plants or flower beds
out of pail, or dipper, or anything else
use sprinkler or hose with fine spray.
Don't let any one make you believe that
luck has anything to do with success in Gull
tivating flowers. 1t has not. Unfailing
watchfulness and industry, with mixture
OF common sense, is worth all the luck In the
world In flower gardening, as in other things
Don't begin with high priced novelties, or
failure will most likely attend your best en-
deavors. Select for your first venture kinds
and varieties OF flowers and plants most
ers can tell You what these are.
Don't fuss too much over your plants; they
like to be let alone when they are doing their
best and SO do you.
Don't fellow eyerybody's advice. Select
some good authority on plants and be guided
make your plants grow. Nothing will kill
them sooner than persecution of this kind.
Don't let failure dismay or discourage you.
One must serve sort of an apprenticeship
In flower growing. as in other occupations
Study your climate, your soil, the location of
particularly adapted to your locality.
Don'tdo as the lady did who said that she
watered her plants regularly every Wednes-
day and every Saturday, whether they need
ed it or not, because she believed in having
"a regular system for everything" Water
your plants when they need water. and at
no other time.
Don't be too eager to buy seeds and plants
where you can get them the cheapest. The
best is always the cheapest, and you cannot
get the best for nothing or for half-price. I
once had a bare, ragged, sickly-looking
flower garden all summer, as the result of an
experiment with cheap seeds and plants.
Don't think you can't have flowers because
you haven't half an acre of garden. Wonders
can be done on ten square feet of ground,
and l once saw flower garden in an old
washtub that was thing of beauty from
June to October.
Don't be stingy with your flowers after
they have come. Give them to the poor. the
sick, and even to those who love flowers, but
cannot have them, because of living In
blocks or flats, or b0arding.-Vick's Maya

NOTES ABOUT WOMEN.

A horseshoe machine, which turns out
completed shoes, was the invention of a
woman: also the reaper and mower, the idea
Of which came into the brain of Mrs. Ann
Manning, of Plainville, N. j., to whom is
also accredited clover cleaner. Mrs, Man.
ing seems to have stimulated the inventive
genius Of her neighbors. for few years
after her mower and reaper was patented.
Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, Of the same state,
TOOK out a patent for an improvement of
this machine, being a device for changing
the knives without stopping the wheels.
A Swiss woman has just invented watch
for the blind, on the dial of which the hours
are Indicated by twelve projecting pegs, one
OF which sinks every hour.
IL is handsome tribute to the inventive
genius OF American women that they have
Deen granted patents that will compare
financially with men. The royalty paid to
some OIL these women inventors is as high as
five thousand dollars per annum.
Mary L0Well, practical electrician, has
invented a continuance by which she is en-
abled to light her kitchen fire from her bed
room. A wire connects her chamber with
the kitchen. and pressure upon knob creates
an electric spark that lights the previously
prepared kitchen fire.
Mrs. Kendall, the great English actress, is
the inventor and patentee Of a lamp and
candle shade. from the sales of which she de-
rives handsome profit.

Hint to Mothers.

- need a new carpet for my dining
room" commented a woman recent
ly, "but tell the children while they
are so careless at the table the old
one will do as well. 1t is Wilton
worn to canvas, and on occasion the
maid actually takes a scrubbing- brush
to the grease spots"
"Why, do you know" replied her
companion, Il have bought new
one this spring on purpose to inn
prove my children's manners while
eating. They greatly admire the
freshened room and it is a matter OF
pride with each one as he gets down
from his chair to see how few crumbs
he can leave"
This is a whole sermon in itself.
Children are peculiarly susceptible to
the beauty or otherwise OF their sur
roundings. They may not be able to
voice it-may not be conscious of it,
but it is none the less a potent inhu-
ence i'll their behavior.

ing person once, ''in family which |

THE work of the young men and
young women. educated at colleges

the mere fact OF their living there,
their mere touch with the people who
