Under the term ''mundfaule" DR.. Pott
gives some valuable suggestions relating
to stomatitis or sore mouth. He believes
that inflammation of the mucous membrane
of the mouth In children Is almost al
days due to the use Of rubber nipples and
rings so often given to children for the
purpose of quieting them. The author
also believes that unboiled milk from
cattle suffering from foot or mouth
disease may induce sore mouth In man,
especially in children, but it does not fol-
low that all cases of sore mouth are due
to such infection.
It is we'll known that certain seasons
have direct influence upon the increase
of disease, and holidays have a marked
influence upon the number of patients
treated in the hospitals. AS an illustra-
ton Of this the record of Bellevue hos
pital of New York. last New Years day
Is interesting. Fifty-six cases of acute
alcoholism were admitted on that day,
and strange to say there were more wom-
en- than men. In addition to this there
were many cases Of fracture or sprain re-
suiting indirectly from over-indulgence In
alcohol.
According to Mr. Winter Blyth. an ex-

Gently, quite rare that aniline dyes were

sugar. being the faverites: but today it Is
quite rare to find natural colors. The
quantity, however, is too small, even al
lowing the substance used TO be poison
Gus, to injure health. but it is a question
whether the collective amount which a
child, say, might take IN day might
not have some injurious effect.
Aside from It's purely amusement aspect
the cinematograph biograph, or whatever
you may call moving pictures has an
eminently practical use for purposes of
instruction. Last summer for example,
Prof Doyen, an eminent French surgeon
employed this apparatus to illustrate
some noteworthy surgical operations to a

suit was satisfactory and recommended
1t as a valuable aid for educational pur-

THE MoTHER's HOUR.

Little figures robed In white.
Mellow glow Of candle-light.
Little hands upraised In prayer,
Roses sweet and fair.
All the work and play and fun
For the happy day are done.
All the little faults confessed,
Ali the troubles set at rest.
Childhood sweet as dawn and flowers
Drifts through many changeful hours.
But one hour, the mothers own.
Must belong TO her alone.
When she sees each sunny head
Safe and cozy In It's bed.
When the world may do It's worst.
God and she have had them first.
And her BARNS are folded fair
In the tender Shepherds care.
Angels bend above the room
Where the dimpled dar1ings bloom
In their lovely innocence,
Warding every evil hence
From the little ones who dwell
Where the mother guards them wen.
God and she about them stand.
They are safe on every hand.
Kneeling for them at the throne.
They are hers and Gods alone.
And each child, a tender flower.
Blossoms in the mothers hour.

He was doing well-in fact, he was max

he wanted to have the best Of everything,

bleeding heart Relating the weird
story Of the fatal checks. the supersti-
tious poker player said:
'eThose checks are certainly a hoodoo
In the beginning they were ordered In
New York by st. Paul man, who died
suddenly, and before the checks were
delivered to him. although they had
reached the city. Prior to ordering those
checks the man for whom they were
made had never seen day of sickness.
That ought to have been sufficient to
condemn them to the fire. But it wasn't.
Some men will defy fate. And that is
what the men did who used those bleed
ing heart checks after that They
brought i'll luck and trouble to every
man who had anything to do with them"

The speaker paused and looked about
him. There was not a suspicion of
smile, and so he continued: "Yes, Gun
ningham died because he ordered the
fatal checks, and the next man to get
them came as near dying as a man ever
did and escape the grave. And not that
alone, but he was doing a thriving trade
prior to becoming owner of the bleeding
heart checks, and afterward he went all
to pieces. The day he got them the
trouble commenced. He found there was
not a sufficient number to do business
with, and SO he ordered some more Of the
same pattern. And when the new ones
came they brought more trouble with
them. Now the man who braved fate by
keeping the unlucky checks IS out of
business. And he attributes all his
troubles to those checks Do I believe he
is justified In blaming the checks for his
misfortunes? Well, / should say did.
