The withdrawal Of Senator Teller
and his associates from the Republi-

transformation Of the party OF Abra-

There was an entire absence OF any
effort on the part Of the silver Repub.

effect. That there was a dramatic
feature when the formal withdrawal
took place was not due TO any precon-

convention seemed to realize that the
Teller adherents were at least consci-

TO them the treatment that is due TO
brave and honorable men.

The Charm of a plain Face

80
Vo1taire once wrote a couplet to the
effect that there never was. an ugly
woman with good set Of teeth, nor a
pretty woman with a bad set. It is a
fact that nothing adds greater
charm to an otherwise plain face than
nice, even teeth. 1t is a mothers duty
as soon as her children's first teeth
show signs of decay or coming out, to
take them to the dentist and have their
teeth attended to. In most cases irreg-
ularities can be put to right when the
second teeth begin to make their APP
pearance, which it is difficult and pain
full to do when the teeth are more firm
~ fixed in the jaw.
& early decay in the teeth is a sign Of
delicacy and an unhealthy state Of the
stomach, which may not infrequently
be alleviated by proper medical atten-
ton. Among the many causes Of in
jury to the teeth we may mention the
taking Of very hot food and drinks.
and strong acids are also very iniu-.
rious. Sugar is said to be bad for the
teeth; this is true, IL it is taken in too
large quantities, as the excessive use
of sugar is sure to disorder the stom-
ach and engender an acid which is
very injurious to the enamel.
A good, sound set of teeth are indis-
pensable to health, and those who val
ne good digestion, and consequently

Most wheels Are over oiled.

So many bicyclists have been OBJ
served recently suffering from clogged
chains, that a word of advice, which
has been given before in this place,
may, with propriety, be repeated. Oil
the chain othing is more necessary;
but be sure not to have it wet. Each
link should be thoroughly fabricated
and then the chain should be rubbed
dry. No amount of rubbing, it should
be remembered, can remove the oil
from the parts between the links where
it is needed, and not a particle Of oil
is required on the exterior surface.
The drier that is the better. The oil,
it exposed, picks up and holds dust
and adds greatly to the friction. The
same advice applies to all oiling. If
SO much is put in the bearings that
some overfoWs and it is not wiped
off, dust will gather at the spot, and,
even in the best made bearings, some
OF it will almost certainly work into
the balls and make trouble. And even
if it does not get so far, the punches
of dust so accumulated detract from
the appearance of an otherwise well
grodmed machine and render the clean

need be-. The fact is that more wheels
are overoiled than underoiled. "Carry-

es, is not half so common as a dust
buried bearing. OF course, of: the two.
the latter is preferable, but no rider
need have either-New York Post.

I'm This Age We Are Rich In Our
Power to Promote Little Folks De-.
D
Among the silent revolutions Of the
nineteenth century one Of the most sig
nificant is that which has taken place
IN the nursery. The study Of the child's
mind has become a cult. Its mysteries
have been searchingly Investigated and
its development carefully considered
The good results Of the kindergarten
system have proven the benefcent eff
feet Of early discipline, and its work
is now begun in the nursery.
The effect Of environment on the
consciousness of a young child is in
stanced in a fact noted in the recently
published life of Sonya Kovalevsky,
the famous Russian mathematician.
Her interest in numbers was first
her nursery. Her country home be-
ing remote from house decorators, the
children'S nursery was paDered with
leaves from an unbound copy Of
mathematical treatise; by this acct
dent Sonya was instigated to an intel
ligent inquiry into the meaning Of geo
metric symbols and from this study
she was led into the field of higher
mathematics. The charming and cas-
lily procurable Kate Greenaway wall
papers, with designs from the epic of
childhood, Mother Goose, not only fos-
ter artistic perceptions in the child's
mind, but stimulate the imaginative
faculties through their object lessons
Of the droll personages that invariably
captivate the childish fancy.
The influence upon the mental trend
of child Of the material objects by
which it is surrounded, has been rec
ognlzed for some time. The black
board has become a necessary adjunct
in the nursery. With colored crayons
and bit of chalk one can produce
upon it's black surface comprehensive
Meisterschaft expression Of all Ian
guages and all arts. What a blessed
and royal road to knowledge, that a
child can by unconscious cerebration
enter into the strongholds Of the alpha
bet, the multiplication table and the
| rule of three! We of this age are rich
in our power to promote the develop
ment of children Never was educa-
tional material so cheap, so suggestive
| and so varied.-The Delineator

Changes Of sixty Year.

Only sixty years have passed since
the boys of Elton ventured to beg that
pipes might be laid in some of the
school buildings SO that they need not
fetch water from the pumps in the
freezing winter weather. and the petit

scornful comment that ssthey would be
wanting gas and Turkey carpets nextr'
At Winchester, another big English
school, all the lads had to wash in an

The Illinois Central train was half a

mouth half concealed by an iron gray
beard. His ill-ftting clothes were evil

a grave stranger, reading a newspaper.
Two or three times the old man turned
his face toward the brown flying land

the troubled expression and glanced
Wistfully at his companion.
The latter spoke at last with some
what strange huskiness in his voice.
II am going to the city for the sec
