When Bube Is Teething.

The time Of the first dentitiOn, which
lasts usually from the infants sixth
or eighth month To the sixteenth, is one
of the critical periods of life yet its
dangers have been greatly eXaggerat-
ed. Formerly ii was the custom to re-
fer every maginable disease affecting
a baby during the eruption Of its teeth
to this process as the cause. Now
medical belief is perhaps inclining too
far the other way. and some doctors
refuse To credit reethinS with produc-
Ing any other than merely local trou-
bleS.
The process of cutting teeth is IN
doubtedly normal one and in Il healthy
infant is usually accomplished without
any great difficulty or disturbance. but
in puny and Sickly children ii is some
times laborouS and the cause of much
distress.
Among the many affections formerly
regarded as provoked by teething the
most common are d!arrhea, cough and
commissions. hut probably the last NAM
ed is the only one caused directly by
this process.
When tooth comes through with
difficulty. the child'S nervous system is
it may become more and more irritable
until finally an explosion occurs. and
the child has ccnvulSions. This is.
however Il rare occurrence, and it is
probable that the nervous constitution
of such children is already weak and
needs only some slight irritation. wheth-
cr from the teeth, the stomach or the
skin, to become convulSively excited.
The diarrhea and the cough are no
doubt both due to indigestion caused
by nervous irritation.
Local disorders of teCthing are more
common. They consist for the most
part in Inflammation of the gums.

the drooling of a ropy saliva.

First of all by the free use of water

\ wonderful woman
Yes. indeed. And there are so many
OF these women nowadays that they
are fast ceasing to be wonderful. You
find them in every town, on every
street. in every social circle, and in ev-
cry graveyard their names are chiseled
on tombStones, and little children come
often to lay flowers on mamma $

trying To do the impossible-trying TO
make the silk purse out Of the sow's

with the 20 foot pole. trying to make
both ends meet when they never were
intended to meet. trying TO keep up ap-
pearances. trying to conform to the re-
uuirements of society. burning the can

LndN de Grey In Trade.

Lady de Grey, who has just been de-
clared ineliGibl" any longer to the soci-
ETY. of Queen Nictoria's court. has been
put outside the pale because she has
gone into trade. and so it appears that
ladies who 20 into trade. whatever
their family and rank may be, are not
regarded as fit for the society that
gathers about a sovereign. She will
probably find plenty of society in the
obScurity into which she has been cast
by this decree. So many men and wo-
men of title have recently gone into
business in England that society
among that set ought to be very tolcra-
bic.
Lady de Grey is one OF the most con-
spiCuous women In London's smartest
set. She has practically been in con-
troll of the opera season ut COvcnt Car
den for the past six years and has been
known to travel all the way from
London to Moscow to hear Il singer
whose engagement was contemplated.
She is the intimate friend of Jean de
RCszllC and is largely responsible for
the success of the opera season at Co
vent Garden. since without her efforts
it is scarcely probable that the sub
scTibers could ever be gathered. Her
social influence helps to keep up the
standard OF the boXhOlders, and she
devotes as much time to the manage
ment of the season of opera as if she
were going to make large profit out
of II herself
Eut the only reward she has ever
been known to enjoy is the friendship
of the opera singers. 1t was i'm her
drawing room that Jean de ResZke first
sang the music of "Siegfricd," and at
her over Sunday house parties near
London both Jean anu Edouard sang
coon" songs TO Nine. Jean de ReSZke's
accompaniment on the piano. This has
been all her reward for eXcrtiGns on
behalf of the opera. Her real business
enterprise Is Il tearoOm which she is to
conduct in partnership with n we'll
known hotel proprietor. Her debts are
said to he very large. and her hus-
bands family has, according to one
story, refused TO pay them again.
Hence the tearoom and its accompany
ing isolation from the society of the

of intellectual distraction and amuse-
ment for the people. Literature is
not spread and read through France
as IN the United States. only say
there is protestant movement of
considerable force and that vast num-
bers OF French people despise the
French clergy and their ways. Many,
certainly, detest the confessional.
Whether anything will happen to
strengthen the movement I speak of,
or to hopelessly discredit the Catholic
Church in France, no one can say.
One thing seems obvious. Unless
there shall be some great moral change
some species Of purgation, France
must continue to sink in the scale of
nations like Italy, Spain, Belgium, and
other Catholic or largely Catholic ma
tions.
l was talking the other day to Arch
Bishop Ireland of st. Paul about the
use of English in the Catholic Church.
He thinks the church will one day
use nothing but English and reminded
me that de Maistre SO prophesied a
hundred years ago. If ever such a
thing does happen, if the Latin mass
and the gay ritual that becomes ne
cessary owing to the mass's failure 20
reach the worshipper's heart, is ever
anglicised, it will be at any rate ahrst
step towards reform.
To turn to another subject, yet one
not wholly irrelevant, foreign lang
uages, Mr.. Charlemagne Tower, the
United States Ambassador to Russia,
has written letter to the New York
Times, Paris Exposition edition en-
phasizing the importance to Amerl-
cans of learning foreign languages.
Mr.. Tower asserts that not only in
diplomacy but in trade is a sound
knowledge of foreign languages neces-
sary, and all the more now that
America is entering upon new and far
off fields OF enterprise and administra-
ton. 1t seems good advise if we are
really reconciied to expansion. And
expand we surely must; it is newt
able; not, perhaps, by merely grabbing
territory, but in the..race of progress
that is going on between all nations
over globe that every year is be-
coming more and more common

A Slick SwindliDg Scheme.

A slick swindling scheme is being
worked over the country bv trio of
sharpers. Their method of working
is to 60 to a town, advertise for some
property they want to buy, go to the
owners and drive a close bargain for
the properties. They make deposit
and ask for the deed, which they want
to have their attorney to look up.
The deed is taken to a firm who deals
in real estate and loan is asked on
the property. The firm turns the
deed over to their attorney, who looks
1t up and hnds that the deed is all
right, and then the loan is made, the
holders of the deed giving a mortgage
on the property. After they secure
the loan, they return the deed to its
rightiul owner, saying that the prop
erty does not quite suit them and that
they have bought property in an
other part of the town. In due
course of time the owner of the land
has notice that mortgage is recorded
on the property.

Hay Dealers Must Pay Mercantile lax.
New Superior Court Decision Will Put Thous-
ands Of Dollars Annual In State Treasury.

On Friday the Superior Court hand
ed down an opinion written by Judge
Orlady affirming the judgment of the
Court OF Common Pleas, of Tioga
county, IN dismissing the appeal of
James l.. Bobb from the action of the
mercantile appraiser OF that county IN
assessing him with tax as dealer
in hay, straw and grain.
The decision is of far-reaching in
terest not only to the many hay dealers
of Tioga county, but throughout the
whole State, and will bring class of
dealers under the taxing power of the
State who heretofore have escaped.
The question first arose in Tioga
county in the spring of 1898 when the
County Treasurer, under instructions
from the Auditor General, caused all
the hay and grain dealers to be assess
ed for the first time In that county by
the mercantile appraiser. 1t was
thought at that time that those hay
dealers who had warehouses for stor-
ing their hay, grain, etc, were the
only ones liable to the tax, and, so
only comparatively few dealers were
assessed.
At the beginning of the year 1899
the dealers were again assessed by the
mercantile appraiser of Tloga county,
and large number of them immedi-
ately appealed to the court, claiming
that there was no law authorizing the
collection of a mercantile tax from
men engaged in their line of business.
Judge Mitchell, now of the Superb
or Court, was then upon the Common
Pleas bench of Tioga county, and
heard the case which was tried before
him last August, and his decision,
which has just been affirmed by the
Superior Court, is very broad in its
terms and makes it clear that those
dealers engaged in the business of
vending hay, straw and grain are all
liable to the tax whether they have
storage barns and ware houses or not;
or whether they load their hay or grain
directly into cars and ship to points
outside of the State or otherwise.
The appeals in Tloga county were
brought by the Hon. David Cameron,
who was selected by the hay dealers
as their counsel to fight the imposi'
ton of the tax. Shortly after the
hearing in the court below MIR. Cam
eron was appointed to Judge Mitch
ellis place upon the Common Pleas
bench of Tioga county, and the hay
dealers ther went TO Williamsport and
employed ex-Attorney General II. C.
Mccormick as their counsel, who
argued their case for them in the
Superior Court last February at Will
Transport, with the result as above
stated.

Don't Drink Water in Gulps.
Much Benefit is 10 he Derived From Natures
Best Beverage by Slipping It Slowly.

AS rule it is much better to sip
water than to swallow a glassful at
one draught. The exception to this
rule is in the morning, when one
should drink glassful or two of mod
eratcly cold water in order to flush the
stomach while 1t is tubular. At other
times, however, slipping the water is
much more stimulating in its effect
on the circulation. During the action
of slipping, the nerve action, which
slows the beating of the heart, is tenn
porarily abolished, and in conse-
quence, the heart contracts much
more quickly and the circulation in
various parts of the body is increased.
Another advantage in slipping is the
fact that the pressure under which the
bile is secreted is considerably raised
1t has been stated, on good authority,
that glass of cold water slowly
slipped will produce greater acceler-
alton of the pulse for time than will
a glass of wine or spirits taken at a
draught. Slipping cold water will, in
fact, often allay the craving for alco.
