MEETING THE OCCASION.

It was the practice of a certain Lon don editor, some years ago, to write his leading article or article at home the night before publication. The rest of the week he did nothing. One night his articles had not come to hand at the office. Ten o'clock came; eleven, twelve, and still no sign of an article. There was commotion in the office; and at last a messenger was sent to the editors house. He found him with a glass of brandy and water before him, and newspapers scattered about. There was no article written. What do you Awant?" asked the editor. 'The article for tomorrow" Didn't 1 send it?' .'No: at least it has not come to the office" Give me the Times" The Times was found and handed to him, and with unsteady fingers he cut out Its leading articles This he stuck upon a sheet of paper, and then, taking his pen, wrote at the top: What does the Times mean by this?" In that form and with that introduction, il appeared next morning as the editors leading article-Cyrpt,

BABY's TEETH.
A Few Points About the Early Care oi
 Them.

SA
 Them.
 Until baby is old enough to use a brush-three or four years--a clean, smooth cloth is all that should be used in cleaning it's teeth. As soon as the little thing can use a tooth brush, however, you should begin it's lessons in caring for the teeth and in later years you will be blessed for 1t. Don't let children use a harsh brush, and you should not use one yourself, All ways buy soft brushes and then use Pearlo-dento freely
 We have found children will more readily clean their teeth if they use a dentrifice they are fond Of They all like Pearlo-dento and the beauty of it is, this is the ideal preparation for children. It is absolutely harmless and thus is safe to leave within their reach, and it accomplishes more in the mouth than any other dentritlce. You do not have to rinse out your mouth thoroughly after using Pearlo-dento. The reason you are told to do this by some manufacturers is because their preparations produce a harmful reac- tion One of the strongest endorse ments of Pearlo- dento is that if you merely rinse out the mouth enough for ordinary cleanliness, and any Pearlo- dento is left in any of the crevices, 1t will counteract decay. This is not the common bombast of worthless or harmful liquids or pastes or powders, but is scientific truth, due to the an- tiseptic properties in Pearlo-dento.
 For clean mouth, sweet breath, healthy gums and healthy teeth, you will not find preparation in the mar ket to compare with Pearlo-dento.

CAUGHT SHORT ON TEA.
The Wholesale Grocers of Iowa and tn
 Proposed Tax.

Proposed Tax
 Dubuque, May 24,-The wholesale gro- cers of Iowa, who have been caught on the short side of tea, have sent @ dele gatiOn to Washington to see what Sena- tor Allison can do for them, With them have gone two representatives of the Chicago houses. Before the tariff of ID cents a pound on tea was publicly stat ed by the senate committee, these gro- cers sold for future delivery in such quantities that one Chicago house stands to lose $100,0OO if compelled to furnish taxed tea, and Iowa houses will lose heavily also. The importers have discounted the future and have sold their stock at liberal discount on for mer prices. One Chicago and New York house is reported to have cleaned up $25O,0O0. The grocers tried to cover, with the result that the demand for inn mediate shipment raised prices in the market. The grocers want the tariff amended to provide for a rebate of the tax on all tea imported to fill orders taken before the senate bill was re- ported.

HARMONIAL SPIRITUALISM
Prof. Bowman Outlines the Mission
Of Spiritualism

At New Music hall, for the Harmonial
Spiritual association, Professor Bow
man yesterday spoke on THE Mission of
Modern Spiritualisln," substantially as
follows:
Modern Spiritualism has special mis-
soin and will accomplish it only as it is
made known to the world. 1t is dual,
both in character and method. In itself
it is phenomenon and philosophy. In
its agencies for propaganda it has me-
diums for phenomena and teachers for
its philosophy. Both are essential to
the work.
Without the medium there could be
no spiritualism. Without the teacher
it would present no ineligible system
of thought. Both mediums and teachers
are Of two distinct classes, normal and
abnormal. The first do their work in
their own proper personality. The Sec
ond are used by controlling forces from
without. The first deal mostly with
things terrestrial; the second mainly
with spirit life.
Working in the dual manner its great
mission is reform. Spiritualism stands
for reform Of all superstitions and ira
ditional nonsense in the barbarous the
ologies of the past, and of all wrong.
injustice and robbery in the rotten civ
ilizations of the present.

ing taught some business or trade to
which they are best adapted and by
which they can earn an honest living

Through the kindness of Captain T.

was visited. 1t being Saturday, there
was no school, but the shoe, tailor and
printing forces were at work, also the
bakers, who had nearly finished baking
the large supply of bread, cakes and
pies for Sundays use. The boys made
a fine showing as they marched into the
dining room and were seated at the
tables, each accommodating six boys.
The fare consisted Of meat, gravy and
baked potatoes, with fresh bread and
coffee. At the girls school the pupils
were engaged in cooking, ironing and
sewing. Before leaving the grounds

was we'll executed and deserved the

PUBLIC SCHOOL FUNDS
AN EXPLANATION MADE BY
SUPT. FOSHAY
An Intimation That the Old Board
Is Responsible for the Present
Stringency

Superintendent Foehay Of the city
schools does not think that he was as
fully reported as he should have been
in his conference with the members of
the city council Saturday afternoon, or
rather that he ehould have more fully
stated the position of the school board in
the matter Of the shortage in the COM
mon school fund, which is used for the
payment Of the aslaries Of teachers of
the high school and kindergartenA To
a Herald reporter last evening he said
that the reason why the city fund is over
drawn at the present time is, that dur
ling the last six months Of 1896, under
the administration of the previous board,
many items were paid from this fund
which ought to have been taken from the
county fund. In addition to the actual
necessary expense to be taken from the
city fund during the months Of Septem-
ber, October and November, 1896, $780,
26O.01 was drawn. This was under the
direction of the previous board. On Jan
uary l, 1897. when the present board took
office. there was, overdrawn the sum of
$53O1.69 on the city fund, and nothing
has been drawn on that fund since that
time except those bills which could not
be legally paid from the county and state
fund
Superintendent Foshay then stated
in regard to the statement that there
were many vacant rooms in many of
the schools, that the Swain street build
ing, in East Los Angeles, to which 1t Is
proposed to add six rooms. has but two
rooms which have been occupied for the
past four years at least, and the higher
grades from that district have been
sent to other schools, and that all above
the third grade in this district are sent
away at the present time.
Mr.. Foe'hay continued: "If we had
received the full amount allowed by the
charter, say 20 cents on the s1OO instead
of 1924, this deficit would not have
occurred. This, however, the previous
council did not allow us. According to
the census of 1896, on which the number
of teachers who are employed to teach in
the primary and grammar grades is
based, 296 teachers can be thus employed.
We employ at the present time BAL teach
ers to do this work caused by the addi-
tional gain in the number Of census child
rem between 1896 and 1897. The school
department has four funds, the state
fund, which is used exclusively for the
payment of teachers salaries in the pri-
mary and grammar grades; the county
fund, which may be used for all other
expenses. except high school and kinder
garten departments. The city fund can
be used for any expenditure for the city
schools. The library fund can only be
used for library books and school appa-
ratus."
