note.

Truly yours, LILLIAN SMELL"
Mr.. Davis had been a friend of the
Smell family for years, and 1t was not
the first time that Lillian had appeal
ed to him for help in her charitable
work. SO that was not the reason that
so strange a look came into his honest
brown eyes.

A half hour later Mark Davis was

Care of Children's Teeth.

Because the mllk-teeth must, in the
course of nature, fall out in few
years, to give place to the permanent
set, parents are apt to assume that it Is
useless to pay special attention to them;
they think it will be time enough to in
struct the child in the care of the teeth
when he has his permanent set This
Is a mistake.
In the first place, 1t is never too early
to nculcate good habits in the child,
and his permanent teeth will always
be better taken care of If he has been
taught to brush the temporary set from
the time when he could use tooth
brush.
1t is also in the interest of the child's
and mans good looks, comfort and
health that the milk-teeth should be
preserved as long as possible. One Of
their most important functions is to
keep place in the jaws for the Sec
ond set, and If they fall out too soon
the second teeth may also come too
soon and out of their regular place;
then the later teeth will not have room
enough. and will be twisted sidewise or
pushed in front of, or behind. the others
in the row.
The first teeth, like the second, are
required for the proper mastication of
the food which is all the more neces-
sary in the growing child who needs
more nourishment than an older per-
son of twice his size.
Finally, tine appearance of a child
with three or four open spaces among
his teeth is far from being attractive.
and parents should be ashamed to see
them as Il consequence of their own
neglect In not watching properly over
the preservation of the milk-teeth.
As soon as the teeth appear they
should be cleaned with soft cloth,
and when the child is old enough lit
tie brush should be put into his hand,
and he should be taught the use of it,
After this the mother or nurse should
see that it IS used regularly.
The mouth of every child should be
examined two or three times year by
the dentist, and any little cavities
should be stopped with temporary
filling. Indeed, rs much care should
be taken of the first as of the second
set of teeth, for they are, in their tenn
porary way, Just as necessary to health,
beauty and comfort.-Youth's Compan-

nes Gregory volunteered a dimple-
faced boy who sat near.
Miss Smell crossed the room and bent
over the child.
agnes, little sunshine lassie, what
Is 1t? Can you not tell me about it?'
Sobs were Agnes only reply. Miss
Smell kissed her gently, then went back
to her work. When it was finished and
the children all provided with work,
she lifted the sobbing child and ten
derly carried her to the teachers desk.
Here somewhat removed from the Gu
r!ous little ones, Lillian set about
soothing her pupil.
Agnes was IA pretty fair-faced child
of 6. She had sunny blue eyes and
hair, a golden chestnut, curled about
her face and neck. Her clothing was
clean but well worn, and Lillian motto
ed the gaping hole in the tiny shoe, as
well as the thinness of the faded dress.
Noticed it with a sympathetic thrill of
the heart that throbbed with some
thing of the divine spirit of mother
hood toward the children in her care.
Agnes story was soon told Her
widowed mother had had no breakfast
for her little ones.
II don't care so much about myself,
Miss Snell," the child went on, artless-
ly, "'cause I'm mammals brave girl,
but when little brother Royce wakes
up he will be so hungry and he IS
only years old. He does not know he
mustn't cry"
A little more questioning and Lillian
learned that some one owed Mrs. Greg
ory for sewing. also that she hoped to
have dinner ready when Agnes came
home.
Lillian looked out into the driving
storm of January afternoon. She
knew Mrs. Gregory and her heart
ached for the pale young mother.
Miss Smell was quick of thought and
action. Ten minutes later Agnes was
In warm cloak room, feasting on the
dainty lunch Mrs. Smell had prepared
for her daughters midday meal. The
young teacher had written a note and
n list of articles of food, and was at
the door of the room across the hall.
The teacher, Florence Fox, listened
sympathetically to Lillian's story and
to the suggestion that her own 12-year-
old brother be called from the sixth
grade to deliver the note.
"Of course Fred can CO." she cried,
"and Lillian, you say you have written
to Mr. Davis the circumstances and
asked him for good weight. I'll send
an order to Cousin Hugh for Il half
cord of wood, tell him the story and
ask him likewise for good weight
A faint crimson flush stained Lill-
ian's cheek, but she warmly thanked
her friend and hurried back to her
work.
Mark Davis was stout genial-faced
man of IS. He sat in his Office, his
mornings work at his books just finish
ed. Through the open door he could
see the brisk clerks stepping about In
the grocery store from which the office
opened. There was odor of spices, cof-
fee, fruit and fish in the air.
Eight hundred dollars more profit
this year than last" the grocer said to
himself. Somehow it doesn't do a
man any good to pile up money when
he has no one to spend 1t on

WAGES REDUCED.
Mill Operatives in New England Under
New Scale.

New Scale.
BOSTON, January 15.-The opera
tives in over half hundred cotton
mills in the New England States ceas-
ed to be paid under the old schedule
of prices when they left their work
today. On Monday morning the gen
eral policy of the manufactures to re-
duce wages will be in effect in nearly
every mill center in the six States.
The reduction will then become oper-
ative in the cotton mills of New Bed
ford, Lowell, Pawtucket and Black
stone Valley, in Rhode Island and in
the States of Maine and New Hamp-
shire
The Fall River Mills, with the ex-
ception of three corporations, cut
wages earlier in the month, as did also
the Amoskeag Company of Manches-
ter and the mills in Salem and a num-
ber Of smaller places.
New Bedford continues to be the
storm center. The indications tonight
are that all the cotton mills in that
city will be silent for some time to
come, the employees having decided al
most unanimously not to go to work
under the lower wage schedule. The
attempts of the State Board of Arbi-
tratiOn to bring about a compromise
have failed.

and was given a certificate of the
effect that he is permitted to do busi-

other Islands the fee is $3.50. Mr.

as freaky or quiXotic, but that he be-
lieves it is right and willingly COM

statute. He will sell here for the Ar

w. B. Chapman, a well-known capital
list of Jamaica, in an interview today,
stated that the party in favor OF the
annexation of the Island to Canada
has grown to great strength and that
definite measures are on foot to secure
the union. 1t is the intention to unite
all the British possessions in the West
ern Hemisphere into one dominion,
and Chapman says definite encourage
ment has been offered by the British
Government. The leaders here claim
that if the scheme goes through all
the strength will be taken from the
confederation and state that Canada
will resist it by all possible means.

Nilety-Nine Years Lease Demand

CHINA OFFERS AN OBJECTION

in New England-Fo
Sugar Talk.

BERLIN, January ia dispatch
from Peking states that Germany has
demanded ninety -nine-year lease of
Kiaochau and a large area surround
ing. China offers to lease the bay and
shores only for fifty years. Here the
matter rests. The Germans insists on
the right to build railroads and work
mines whenever they wish.
1t is reported that railroad from
Kiaochau to Binan Flu has been agreed
to, the Germans acquiring mining
rights for a mile on each side of the
line and the Chinese to be admitted as
shareholders. Germany has renewed
her demand for an idemnity of 100000
taels for the erection of a cathedral,
and for compensation to the amount
of several thousand taels for the rela-
tives of the murdered missionaries.
A correspondent here learns that the
whole of Trans-Caucasia, including the
big province of Turkestan, will shortly
be placed under the control of a Gov
ernor-General, probably Russian
Grand Duke, who will have practical
ly unlimited military administrative
power 1t is believed that by such a
measure the welfare of the population
of 25,000,000 souls, inhabiting ter
ritory separated from the central Gov
ernment by thousands of miles, can
better be assured. The changed re-
lations between China and Germany
are strikingly shown in the fact that
the new Chinese ambassador, who has
just arrived, is accredited to Berlin
only, and not to several courts as here
tofore, and his corps of secretaries
and attaches has been increased from
six to thirty.
The existing commercial treaty with
China will be retained. The Colonial
Office is preparing a civil administra-
ton for Kiaochau, and the German
Consul, Stebel, at Ehanghai, is organ.
iZing a provisional administration The
first reports are anxiously awaited. II
is intended that the customs and in
ternal service officials at Kiaochau
shall be Germans yersed in both
Chinese and English, so that the com
mercial interests Of the port may be
better protected

BERLIN, January 15.-Austria and
Germany have intimated their will
ingness to attend the proposed con-

lition of sugar bounties. France is
also showing an inclination to join, so
an early meeting is probable.
The export of sugar TO the United
States has suffered enormously through
the Dingley tariff. In fact, it has al
most stopped. During the last quar-
ter of 1897 only $27 900 worth of sugar
was shipped from Hamburg, the prin-
cipal sugar port of Germany.
