Care of the Teeth.

A dentist advises that acids are even worse than sweets upon the teeth and in- weighs against the eating of oranges and apples at night without carefully rinsing the mouth afterward. Persons, too, with sensitive teeth, who dread the hour in a dentists chair, will find their suffering somewhat relieved by being careful what is eaten before the appointment Acids that set the teeth on edge are poor prep aration. The same authority recom- mends a small rubber band as the best toothpick. These are really better than the dental floss often advertised, or cer- tainly quite as good, and much more apt to be at hand. New York Times

A Weak Back.

The most natural and lasting remedy for weak back is to undergo proper system of dieting until about the correct weight is reached, and then to avoid ex- cess of fattening food. A stout person is never strong. Only ignorant people be- licve to the contrary. It is exasperating to hear those who ought to know better talk about the amount of exertion Q powerful looking man ought to be able to endure assuming that because he is stouter he must necessarily be stonger than they are New York Advertiser.

FRANoE,s MINISTRY.
No One Yet Found Who Is willing to
Form a New One

Form New One,
Paris, May 23.-The ministerial crisis
is following its normal course. President
Carnot received collectively the formal
designations of the cabinet, which they
declined to retract.
President Carnot this afternoon held a
conference with the presidents Of the
Chambers of Deputies and the Senate in
the lobbies of the two houses. The con-
versation of the president with the presld-
ing officers of the two bodies was quite
animated.
An effort is making to construct a com
blnatlon ministry, including NJ. DuPuy
and M. Bourgeois. The radical deputies
had a meeting to-day and passed resolu-
lutlons demanding republican concen-
tratlon ministry with strong progressive
tendencies and opposing all clerical con-
cesslons on the part Of the government
The republicans also held a meeting al
which Nj. CBsimir-P Perier was highly eulO-
gized. They passed a resolution favoring
the formation of another homogeneous
cabinet, but this would only be certain TO
result in another crisis. M. Casimir-
Perier's chances for the presidency have
not been lessened in the slightest degree
by his resignation. On the contrary,
they have rather been increased.
M. Bourgeois was in consultation with
President Carnot from 3 to o'clock
After leaving the president, he announced
that he had declined TO form a cabinet
BY tomorrow or Friday, IL is believed,
he will reconsider his refusal in case that
M. Poincare, minister of public instruc
tlon in the DuPuy cabinet Elk Premier
Ribot and Henri Brisson will consent to
enter into a combination with him.
M. Viger, M. Casimir Perier's minister
of agriculture, will probably retain his
portfolio.
The effect of the cabinet crisis on the
Bourse was depressing. French rentes
opened nearly franc lower.

form and could not sit.
Upon receipt of this message, Gen. Rich
bourg telegraphed to the governor inform
ing him of Gen. Dennis absence and the
cause assigned for it. The governor
wired back to proceed without him. Gen
Richbourg, Judge Barron and Col. Jones,
who constituted the court in the absence
of Gen. Dennis, proceeded TO business
just as soon as Gen. Huguenin and his Of
icers were seated.
Capt. Mcmillan, of the Palmetto
Guards, was the first officer to be exam
ined. The evidence given cannot be pub
lished. The others examined were Gen.
Huguenen, Capt. Schachte of the Full
sileers, Capt. Cogswell, of the Washi ng-
ton Light Infantry and Capt. Hyde of
the Sumter Guards.
Stenographer McFeat took down the
testimony, which will be submitted to the
governor. The court will continue in ses-
sion until Saturday, when the eXamina-
tion will be concluded.

A Woman's Auxiliary Of the Confed-

Lexington, KY, May 28.-Political,
confederate and social circles are more
excited to-day than ever because young
women's auxiliary of the confederate as
sociation had stormy meeting, and had
refused TO decorate the confederate
graves because Col Breckenridge was q
member of the veterans association. The
president OF the auxiliary says it took no
part in the Breckenridge case as body,
and that there will be no refusal to deco
rate the graves.
Mrs. A. NJ Harrison, the secretary, and
her sister-in-law, Miss Mary Harrison,
vice president Of the auxiliary, resigned
their Offices to-day They are severe in
condemnation of Col. Breckinridge, and
while they give no open reason for re-
signing, they say plainly 1t ought not to be
difficult to infer why they quit the organi-
zation. Mrs. Harrison is a daughter OF
the late confederate Gen. Withers, and
Miss Harrison is a daughter Of the late
James O. Harrison, kinsman, historian

The Ex-senator to Run as an Anti

The Ex-senator to Run as an Anti
Administration Candidate.
New Orleans, May 23.--A special to the
Times-Democrat from Dallas, Tex, says:
"The formal announcement this morning
of Judge John II. Reagan, ex-confederate
postmaster general, that he is candidate
for governor, although expected for ten
days, created a profound sensation.
A month ago, as published in
the press dispatches, he declared he was
against President Cleveland, in a proc
lamation which could almost be read
under a black flag. No man has
stronger or more enthusiastic following
in Texas than Judge Reagan, and he is
looked upon as q venerable father of
democracy. This announcement at once
makes the campaign for and against Pres
ident Cleveland. -
