EX- GOV. RUSSELL DIES IN CANADA
The Young Massachusetts Democrat Expires
Suddenly at Little Pabos.
BRIEF SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.

Ex-Governor William E. Russell, OF
Massachusetts, was found dead in his
tent near St. Adelaide de Pabos,
Quebec last Thursday morning. Heart
disease is the supposed cause of death.
Mr.. Russell was found dead in bed
at the camp of B. F. Dutton, Boston
4 business man. He left his home
shortly after his return from Chicago
for the purpose of seeking rest. He
was guest of Mr.. Dutton.
Ex-Governor William E. Russell,
Z of Massachusetts, arrived there from
Boston Wednesday and pitched his
tent for few days fishing. He was
accompanied by his brother and
Francis Peabody. They all retired
early that night, the governor appa-
rently in good health and spirits.
Upon his companions trying to arouse
him next morning they discovered
that he was dead. Death must have
resulted from heart disease. The
position Of the body and the express
sion on the face showed that his death
was painless.
William Eustis Russell was born in
Cambridge, Mass, 1857. He was
educated in the public schools and in
Harvard college, where he graduated
in 1877. He then began the study
of law under his fathers direction and
took a course of three years in the
Boston University law school. He
was admitted to the Suffolk bar in
1880. He was only 2S years Of age
when in 1885 he was elected mayor
of his native city, having already
served as councilman and alderman.
! In 1888 he was nominated for gov
ernor but was defeated by Ames. 1t
was in this year that Mr.. Russell gave
evidence of his gifts as a stump speak
err He was renominated for governor
in 1850 and at the end of vigorous
campaign reduced the plurality of his
4 opponent from 10000 to OTIS. Next
4 year in his third trial he was elected
by plurality of 5000.
In his inaugural message he sug-
gested many reforms in state manage
ment, but few of them were operative,
owing to hostile legislature and
< hostile council. Russell was reelected
governor Of his state twice. He retired
at the end of his third term to resume
the practice of law Russelrs name
twas mentioned by his admirers in
= New England as one which would
look well at the head of the Demo
cratic national ticket. At the Jeffer-
son celebration, in Monticello, early
in this year the ex-governor made a
strong declaration in favor OF honest
money, He was associated with

One Of Interest,

The coming campaign will be one
of extraordinary interest in Columbia
county. Indications are that the
county will be stumped by the two
parties more vigorously than any time
since the war. In the boroughs and
villages they already talk of clubs they
will form and the special efforts they
will make to get up the best parades
in the history Of the county.

Onions.

There is a prejudice against onions,
because of the unpleasant odor left upon the
breath. But this vegetable contains the
food and medicine needed by many. and
should be used, regardless of this. Onions
have been found beneficial in quoting the
nerves and assisting to produce sleep, and
surely better eat two or three, or more
onions for supper than to become addicted
to morphine or any other narcotic.
Either cooked or raw they are quite palat-
able besides. AS a useful medicine in liver
complaints, onions are well known. It is
said they have a clearing effect upon the
complexion, which is, of course, conse-
quence of their action upon the liver
Two or three raw onions thinly sliced
with green cucumbers. greatly improves
them and the cucumber and vinegar seem
to take somewhat from the rankness of the
onion. Much of this strong, rank taste,
however, will be lost if onions are dropped
into cold water for awhile after they are
peeled, before slicing for the table, or after
being sliced and slightly sailed.

1t is best to eat some simple food when
one wakes up and there will follow no dizzi-

Care Of Ohildren's Teeth.


Too many parents are aptto neglect their
children's teeth, especially when the chill
dren are young, or before they have their
second teeth. It is absolutely essential that
a constant watch is kept over the formation
and growth of the teeth of the young, for
then any disfguring tendency can be readily
corrected with less pain and trouble than
when the bones and muscles have become
hardened and fixed. There is no excuse in
this enlightened age for projecting upper or
lower jaws, for ugly, crowded teeth, or, in
fact, for few, if any, of the disfguring for
nations which were formerly thought un-
avoidabe. The cost will be comparatively
much smaller when the child is attended to
when young than it will be if left until the
renedying of the ailment requires consid-
cradle time and labor, besides the pain
caused by it.
1t seems a pity to see young people of
sixteen or eighteen years with decayed
teeth, and, indeed, many are as toothless as
their grandparents. 1t certainly is a
mothers duty, if she has care for the
comfort and confines Of her boys and girls
to pay careful attention to this matter of
teeth. While the child is small she can
attend to the matter herself and see that it
is properly done, but as the child becomes
old enough to attend to his own toilet he
should be properly instructed.
When the "tiny white pearls first come,
soft cloth dipped in water will answer the
purpose for short time, but fine, soft
cancels hair brush should be procured aud
used several times day. Many of the
diseases of the teeth and gums may be pre-
vented and their ravages minim;zed by
proper cleansing The usual method of
brushing is horizontally; this is not best,
however, but a rotary or vertical motion OF
the brush will better reach particles OF food
which are apt to lodge between the teeth
and it will otherwise clean them better.
The inner surfaces and the backof the teeth
should be treated in a like manner. When
the child's teeth and gums become harder a
good brush, neither too hard nor too soft
should be procured, and this is to be pre-
ferred to any other kind.
It is advisable to use Il tooth powder in
the morning and wash at night. A good
powder is composed of orris root. prepared
chalk and CASTLE soap. Mixed charcoal is
too gritty to make good dentifrice. A
good and simple wash can be made by pour
ing two or three drops of csrbolic acid into
tumbler of water and rinsiDg the mouth
with it. 1t is particularly refreshing.
Something so important as good teeth
are, both to good health and appear ance
cannot, nor should not be neglected, and
proper care will keep them in such con-
dition that many visits will not need to be
made to the dentist.-Ex.
