Care of the Teeth.

II the proper amount of care was
bestowed upon the teeth there would
not be the complaints we hear from
any other part of the body, with only
the repairs made necessary by wear
and tear.
There is nothing better for the teeth
than precipitated chalk favored with
Wintergreen, and it has the advantage
of being cheap. Brush with this in
the morning and use only water on
the brush at night. For the rest of
the day refrain from the use of the
brush, but use a piece of dental floss
or thin rubber band to remove par
ticles of food from between the teeth
after each meal. 1t is well to brush
the tongue as well as the teeth, as the
coating works considerable harm to

done by too much brushing and too
much dentifrice than by letting the
teeth alone
There is another caution I would
give in the care of the teeth. Do not
use much soap. 1t will make the teeth
feel smooth and nice, but will not re-
move discoloration. I saw an instance
Of that In splendid set of teeth in a

Frightening Children.

Nothing can be worse for q child
than to be frightened The effect OF
the scare it is slow to recover from
it remains sometimes until maturity,
as is shown by many instances of NOR
bid sensitiveness and excessive ner-
vousness Not infrequently fear is en-
ployed as a means of discipline. Chill
dren are controlled by being made to
believe that something terrible will
happen to them, and punished by being
shut up in dark rooms. or by being put
In places they stand in dread of. No
one without vivid memory of his child
hood can comprehend how entirely
cruel such things are. We have often
heard grown persons tell of the suf-
fering they have endured, as children,
under like circumstances, and recount
the irreparable injury which they are
sure they then received No parent,
no nurse, capable of alarming the
young is fitted for her position.
Children, as near as possible, should
be trained not to know the sense of
fear, which, above everything else. Is
to be feared in their education early
and late. Some interesting facts deal
ing with the fears of children have
been collected by a well-known profess
sor He found that 1,701 children were
afraid of 6.456 things. The leading
fears were lightning and thunder,
reptiles, strangers, the dark, death,
domestic animals. water, ghosts. in
sects, rats and mice and high words
Some of the fears were the results of
personal experiences-that is. in a dis
trict where a great wind had wrought
q havoc the children were afraid
Of 1t. In other cases the anal
ysis showed by what means parents
had worked upon the imaginations of
their children. In one district sixteen
poor little ones were dreading the end
Of the world. The most gratifying fact
Of all was that not one child had been
into obedience or good con-
duct by the fear OF the devil. A CEN
fury or two ago that fear would have
led all the rest The pleasing infer
,nce is that parents now dwell upon
affection and love to insure the good
ness Of their children, instead of ter
-orixing them with Satan's wrath.

On the first trip Mr.. Hughes expects

ly opposed to the disarmament Of the
Cuban army, and that he intended to
have the Cuban and Spanish elements
some action on the part Of the United
States to carry out the pledges of con-
gress and of President Mckinley in his
message From newspaper reports it
was gathered by the American public
that even if the Cuban assembly should
accept the $4,000. 900 and decree the
disarmament of the Cuban army Gen
eIal Gomez would resist carrying out
such decree.
''It was for these reasons that Mr.
Porter was sent to Cuba to confer per-
sonally with General Gomez. and he
was accompanied by me because it was
thought that General Gomez would
thus have full confidence in the state
ments which would be made to him.
We saw General Gomez, and after a
full conversation and thorough expo
sition of the situation he declared that
he was ready to cooperate in all things
with the United States after the ex
plantations which had been made to
him.
t'The impression became prevalent
that General Gomez had entered into a
written agreement with Mr.. Porter,
but as a matter of fact this was not tho
case. General Gomez simply expressed
his personal assent to the plan develop
ed by Mr.. Porter. General Gomez
stated quite plainly that he had deplor
ed the treatment which he had thereto
fore received from the representatives
of the United States government, who
had completely ignored him, but that
now he could very properly offer himself
to aid in settling the conditions IN Cuba
and to act as the representative of the
Cubans in the distribution of the 49,.
600, 900 which the commission of the
Cuban assembly had accepted in this
country His action, however. was in
nowise to be interpreted as opposing the
assembly or as arrogating to himself
any of the assembly's powers.
"With General Gomez and the Gu
ban assembly united in order to aid in
the reconstruction of the island, the
problem confronting the United States
will be made simpler every day.

| tive life has been so closely associated
with the history of Fresno that it is
impossible to write of the one without
reference to the other. He came here in
1878. when the population of this city
mbered only about 600 souls. He had
formerly been In the sheep business in
anoth er part of the state, and when he
decided to make what afterwards turn
ed out to be the Raisin Center his
home, his sons looked after his f1ocks.
while he engaged in the livery stable
bust ess. He put up stable on what
is at present the Brady block, having
his residence across the street on the
present site of the Masonic. Temple.
The stable was burned and he after
ward put up another stable at the cor
ner.of I and Kern streets, which was
also destroyed by fire.
Mr.. Hughes had also branched out
in the real estate business and engaged
in extensive colonization projects in
this and MADEIRA county. In 1888 he
built the Hughes block and few years
later completed the Hughes hotel. He
carried half the stock in the Masonic
Temple, third of the stock in the
Fresno National bank. He was one of
the organizers of the gas company, the
National bank. He was the main Or
ganizer and stakeholder in the Fresno
Fruit and Canning company, he ex-
pended $50, 600 on the fair grounds and
was also interested in the street rail-
road running to the grounds. He was
one of the first to advocate the building
of the much discussed ship canal and
was the first to attempt to put down
bituminous paving in this city. In
fact, Mr.. Hughes took a prominent
part in all public enterprises, and just
ly deserves the title of 1.-THE Father of
Fresno.'
