been trying for years TO have him put
on more frills, but the simple old
Dutchman has a horror of %ostentatiOn
and expense-particularly expense.
A few years ago he was almost wild
with the toothache. His family, his
councillors. his friends besought him to
have the tooth out AT last 'Oom Paul''
decided to go to a dentist. Arriving at
the man of torture's office, the South
African President asked what it would
cost to have the offending member out.
The sum demanded was equivalent to
SIPS. Never" said Dom Paul." and,
feeling in his capacious pockets for his
clasp-knife, he pried out the molar with
his own right hand.

Teeth.

Through much exhortation mothers
have become pretty well advised of
the care which their children's teeth
demand. A dentist goes further and
says that many Irregularities In the
matter of the growth of the teeth can
be corrected Mt home from day to day,
thereby preventing later, long painful
and expensive operations. One of these
Is the cur of protruding teeth. This
is often caused by a pernicious habit
acquired in childhood, that of thrusting
the thumb back Of the front upper
teeth and pressing lightly and steadily
there. Children take to this practice,
which is akin to that of sucking the
thumb. The result Is very bad and Ill
looking. Watchful mothers can pre-
vent the forming of the habit, or, In
case 1t Is too late for that, can remedy
the consequences by breaking it up and
ment. This Is to repeat as often as pos
sible a firm pressure backwards on the
front of the teeth with the forefinger
horizontally. Overlapping teeth are Of
ten, usually, indeed, the consequences
of mouth breaking. A child keeps tie
mouth open during sleeping and much
Of the time during the day, thereby
narrowing the curve of the jaw and
forcing the teeth to a V. This conse-
quence will again take long counter
acting influence to remedy, but the nj
tivation Of nasal breathing and press
ing the teeth in as much rs possible
will show a decidedly good effect very
soon. When II recalls how easily
apparently solid teeth are pressed
apart by means of thin wedges, 1t is
rallied how much value there is In per.
slstent pressure.

Tobacco Taking the Place of Oranges

Tobacco Taking the Place of Oranges
Since the great freeze which destroy.
ed so many orange orchards In Florida,
the people of that State have turned
their attention to other products be-
sides fruit, which they had previously
raised almost exclusively. Next year
Florida will harvest an immense to-
bacco crop. 1t will be ten times that of
any other year. Having a large area
adapted to the production of tobacco OF
excellent quality, it Is surprising that
the crop has not been more extensively
cultivated there. The war In Cuba has
limited the supply usually obtained
from that island and has furnished the
incentive for the increase that is to be
made in tobacco acreage In Florida,
where many of the greatest cigar manu-
factories in the country are located.

ODD Marriage Custom.

The people of Lithuania believe II
being forearmed for emergency. Al
least so Il curious custom in regard to
the marriage ccrmony would seem to
indicate. 1t Is said that before the
marriage is celebrated the mother of
the bride gives her daughter II parting
maternal box on the ears in the pres
ence of n number of witnesses. The
reason for this remarkable proceeding
Is that if the wife should ut any time
wish to secure n divorce she would
have the plea that physical force was
used to make her enter the bonds of
matrimony.

Reform Is needed in baseball, says
h Washington Post. As Il matter of
fast, the atmosphere of the game is
becoming offensive to decent and self
respecting folks. The hoodlum is too
much in evidence, too obviously the
crony and familiar of the Official, too
patiently the patron of the game. IL
h managers of the league are satisfied
with this arrangement, well and good.
That is their affair. But il they want
to keep the respectable clients they still
have and to win back those they have
already estranged, the sooner they in
stitute reforms in the direction here in

The Pennsylvania law imposing a tax
of 3 cents Il day upon all alien labor
ers in the State has stirred up the Chi
nese, who cannot evade it by becoming
citizens, and money is being raised to
test the law in the courts. 1t is believ-
ed the statute will be knocked out; but
in the meantime it has led to the nat
uralization of many foreigners who arc
no credit to the citizenship of Pennsyl-
yania, because they became citizens
only to avoid the tax, and not because
they are loyal to the Government.

The assassination Of n ruler in a civ
ilized nation is always an act-of lunacy.
1t cannot advance the cause which the
assassin seeks to promote. On the CON
trary, 1t strengthens, by the help which
human sympathy brings, the cause rep
resented by the victim of the crime.
This fact makes such a murder as that
of Canovas an act of lunacy. 1t shows
the loss of reason-of the faculty that
applies means to an end, hat adapts
n cause to the effect that Is to be pro-
duced. But it is not irresponsible lun-
acy in the eye of the criminal law nor
In the eye of justice. The assassins
who have ended the lives of rulers in
other countries were not different in
their mental temperature from Wilkes
Booth or Guiteau, the two historical
American assaSsins. All were alike
crazy, ike ot4er men with n honlicidal
mania, who destroy life and whose
cases occupy q large part of the atten-
ton of the criminal courts. The case of
Prendergast, who a~ssassinated Mayor
Harrison of Chicago, is one of the same
class. A man who has sense enough to
procure a weapon for the purpose of
using 1t to destroy life-who has the
~forethought and deliberation to ascer-
tain the habits of a man whom he is
following with homicidal intent, whose
cunning inspires him with n knowledge
as to how and where he can best carry
into effect his murderous purpose-is
sane for all the ends required in the adj
ministration of criminal justice. The
plea of insanity in capital trials is in
most cases Il false plea. Strong as may
be Il sympathy with the struggling
patriots of Cuba, we can have no SYM
pathy for the crime of a skullking as
sassin who commits murder in the
name and under the plea Of patriotism.
1t is TO he feared that this awful crime
has set back the cause of Cuban cman-
cipation n decade. if not a generation.
