sky was yet blue.
Saturday came and Aunt Hannah Oh
served firmly as they arose: 'Dis be

KUN in wen dc critters is fed an read

I'm course, Hannah replied Mr..
Baxter, little sheepishly.
A little later in the morning the door
burst open and Mr.. Baxter's flock Oh
woolly heads burst in with: ''Maw.
dey'se goin' a-nuttin' on Bramble hill
Kin we'se go? Whar's my hat!' and
other EXPLANATIONS of a similar charac-
ter. Aunt Hannah held up her hand
sternly.
''Chilluns, Use s'pri1ed at yo':" She
said, solemnly. ''Didn' yo' heah yo' daddy
say dat dis was de Sabbuf, an yo' want.

There was no gainsaying this, and
when Mr.. Baxter came in from water
ing the ''critters," he found a silent and
studious family awaiting him. Dinner
time came and passed, but Aunt Han
nah did not move.
''Yo' kin fin de col lunch in de PAN

keerful how we monkey wild de Sabbut
day to keep it holy" she remarked,
placidly.
The children went to bed with visions
OF a long and lonely play-day before
them on the morrow, minus the Sunday
dinner that was landmark in their

wrapped in deep contemplation. At
last he broke the silence.

"Ain' we goin' to hab no Sunday din

"'Deed we aim! I ain goin' to do no

There was a long pause. Finally Mr..
Baxter broke out: 'Hannah, mebbe I

Elder Simpson was in the midst of
the long prayer the next morning as

of his gigantic handkerchief he broke

'Bress dc Lawd fer de br'ack sheep

Mr.. Baxter thought of the plowed
and seeded ten-acre lot and of the Sum

pot, and smiled broadly to himself be-

smile of triumph that he had vanquished

HTeeth Germs in the Human Being.
The development of teeth 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 to become the
sockets for such hard-working portions
OF the anatomy. Yet we are assured
that there are tifty-two teeth germs hid
den there. Twenty of them 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 until the child is
six years old, and the .wisdom' teeth
do not usually appear until about the age
OF eighteen. The little pulp germ grows
and develops 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 surface of the crown attains its
full size before the process of elonga-
ton commences. Then, gradually it
pushes its way outward through the
gum, absorbing it's tissue as it advances,
till the pure white enamel peeps out
