porosity. Another form Of silk is OBJ

diseases are frequently contained in
the mouth. In such case anything that
is moistcned By the saliva Of the in

be done to prevent contagion by teach

instruction is to be efectual it must

WEDDING PRESENTS.
Some Hints About How and What
and When to Send.

Some Hints About How and What
and When to Send.
Il is a golden rule to send your we'd
ding gift in good time, the first to ar
rive being much more appreciated than
that which is one Of the many pouring
in from all quarters during the last
week.
By adhering to this rule you are also
saved the annoyance Of hearing that
the saltcellars are charming. the third
set already received.
4 month before the wedding day IS
not too early to send the present, which
should be accompanied by visiting
card, to be placed on the gift when dis
played am0Hg the others.
The package should be addressed to
the bride if you are intimate with both
the happy couple, and to the brides
house, addressed to the bridegroom, If
It is he with whom you are best ae-
Quainted.
Most people wish to give something
novel, useful and pretty. The future
circumstances Of the happy couple
should influence the choice.
If they are going abroad, do not give
anything unsuitable to the require
ments of the climate or so cumber-
some that packing and conveying it TO
its destination will amount to half the
value of the present.
If the recipients will not be particu-
larly we'll off, 1t IS only kind to select
some useful present In these days,
when artistic taste is shown in all the
necessaries of life, this should not be
difficult.
If the happy couple are likely to re-
ceive many presents, it is safe to give
something which will not be amiss If
received in duplicate, such as silver
Sweetmeat baskets for the dinner table
or a set of afternoon teaspoons or a
bronze or china ornament

 DISCUSSED BY BOARD

The board of education talked about the slow progress which has been made by the contractors engaged in erecting the new Margaret Croft school on South Elm street last night. the matter being brought to the boards attention by a communication from Architects Benedict & Walsh.
 The communication stated the case in strong terms, and after short talk the matter was referred to the com nnittee on school houses, with power to act in the matter.
 The report of School Inspector B. l.. Tyrrell showed that various i'm provements have been made about diff ferent schools during the summer
 Among the various bills was one of S13O from the Connections Railway x Lighting Go for the arc light which H. iuminates the clock in the tower of the Washington Hill school. This bill is considered excessive by the board, as it is said that the arc light in the City hall clock costs only $I5 year. The matter was referred to the committee on schools with power to discontinue the lignt if they saw fit.

Public Statement Issued to the Amer

 NEW YORK, Aug. 2.--The Finnish National Alliance of the United States has issued a public declaration con- cernlng the attitude of Finland to Rus sia, in which they say:
 "We regard it as our duty to assure the amicable American people and the entire civilized world that there is not a respectable man or woman in Fin land--excepting fortune seekers, who exist everywhere-who does not grieye in despair over the down tearing of her most sacred human and civil rights. the ruin of her educational institu- tons and the destruction of her peace able system of civil government, for which has been substituted a state of lawlessness and despotism.
 "We are aware that the Finnish peo- pie, in spite of all means of compulsion, still regard, in accordance with the dec laration of their representative body, the Russian military ordinance, enact ed through forceful methods, as illegal and unlawful. And even though some sort of representative body might be convened by compulsory ways and means, as is the intention at present. for the purpose of approving all these violations of law, we still know that the Finnish people. as long as the pres. ent conditions prevail in thelr country. can neither be nor are they even in such position as to become respon- sible in any manner for the actions Of thls prospective conaxess.n
