CARE OF CHILDREN's TEETH.

Any dentist will acknowledge that if
mothers would exercise due care at
home his income from care of chill
dren's teeth would be much reauced
Through much eXhoTtation heads Of
families are coming TO realize this
and as a consequence long, painful and
expensive operations are being rem
aered unnecessary. One of these is
the cure of protruding teeth. This is
often cause by pernicious habit ac-
quired 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 i'll

prevent the forming of the habit or
in case it is too late for that, can
remedy the consequences by breaking
it up and insisting upon the counter
acting treatment This is to repeat
as often as possible firm pressure
backward on the front of the teeth
with the forednger horizontally.
Overlapping teeth are often, usually
indeed. the consequences Of mouth
breathing. A child keeps the mouth
open during sleeping and much of the
time curing the day, thereby narrow
ing the curve OF the jaw and forcing
the teeth to 4 y This consequence
will again take long couuteracting in

Of nasal breathing and pressing the
teeth in as much as possible will show
a decidedly good effect very soon
When one recalls how easily apparent
" solid teeth are pressed apart by
means of thin wedges, II Is realized
how much value there is in persistent
pressure.

WASHINGTON'S DEEP LAKE.
Government Official Attempts to Find
Bottom and Fails.

Lake Chelan, in the Cascade noun
tains in Washington, Is the third deep
est body of water in the world outside
of the oceans. 1t may take second
place, as the bottom has not yet been
found. 1t is certainly the deepest body
of water on the American continent
These facts have been established by
w. G.. Steel, now of the United States
geological survey, and well known as
a daring mountain climber and ex-
plorer and founder of the well-known
Anime club. the Mazamas. Mr.. Steel
writes as follows

Lake Chelan is in Okanogan coun-

FALLACY OF COMMERCE.

The implicit belief in the virtues OF
commerce destroying is likely to stand
IN the way OF the development OF our
navy. II is the cheapest policy, and
therefore makes a strong appeal to
those who think themselves econo-
mists. But the end of war is to win,
and no nation has yet emerged vie
torious from contest in which she
relied on commerce destroying to-
cripple her enemy. England tried it
once under Charles / and the Dutch
feet burned the shipping within sight
Of London. France relied on il and
was beaten in every struggle. Even the
successes of the Alabama. the recol-
lection OF which Is the main cause for
the prevalence of the delusory belief
in commerce destroying, did not effect
the result of the war. Whenever
nation has relied solely on commerce
destroying she has been beaten. Com
merce destroying as a secondary opera
ton may be useful: but the only basis
on which the policy should be put into
force involves the existence of large
fleet to keep the fleets of the enemy in
check. As primary operation It's

Mrs. Mckinley on Marriage.

At an informal reception at the White
House recently the question turned uIon
the subject of matrimony. Mrs. McKin-
ley talked so brightly and enthusiastic
ally upon the subject that Miss Gary,
daughter of the postmaster general, who
is soon to enter the welded state,
laughingly remarked that Mrs. McKin-
ley might open a select school for the
instruction of future husbands. Miss
Gary's suggestion met with general ia
vor, and the discussion was kept up at
lively rate during the remainder of
the hour.
If there is one topic more than an
other upon which Mrs. Mckinley wakes
eloquent, it is marriage. Above every
thing she extols the devotion of her hus-
band as an example to young men. She
nnhesitatingly asserts that marriage is
woman's highest mission when coupled
with the mutual respect which begets
perfect confidence. In the discharge of
her domestic duties she believes that a
wife and mother finds her truest happi-
ness and reward. Dispatch.

Dreyfus May Be Innocent.

The wife of Captain Dreyfus, the
French officer sentenced to Punishment
ON a barren island for betraying the Sc
crets of the French army to a foreign
power, has never ceased in her efforts
to prove the innocence of her husband.
An exhaustive examination, carried on
with the assistance of all European mil
itary departments, gives color to the
suspicion that Captain Dreyfus' SEN
tenoe was the result of a fearful judicial
error. A movement for the reopening
of the case is going on, and there is
some talk of sending the captain to AL
giers to await the results of a new trial.
