The term of Alton B. Parker, chief
Judge of the court of appeals of New

airy is $t4, 200 per annum. Judge Par
ker has, therefore, nearly seven years
and eight months to serve. If he re-
signs on April IS, the date of the New
York democratic convention, he will
give up a salary Of approximately $780,

men would thus sacrifice their interests
to the interests of their party? Could
stronger testimony to the worth Of
Judge Parker be given?-Nashville

Of tagging fishes. Metal tags are fas.
tened to marine fishes, which are let

duly tagged and released last spring
on the New England coast, The oh.
ject of the tagging is to ascertain the
rate at which cod grows, the fire.
quency Of its spawning and the ex.
tent of its travel in the ocean.
The same experiment is being tried
this year with young salmon, arti'
fcially Matched. for the rivers Of the
Pacific coast. The fishes are Finger

this way it is expected that the age al
which the salmon comes from the
sea to spawn will be ascertained: also
the rate Of growth, and the percentage
Of fry that attain maturity. The e1
pertinent is an interesting one. and
has an obvious bearing on fish culture
problems.

uoOd Spirits.

Good spirits don't all come from Ken
lucky. Their main source is the liver
and all the fine spirits ever made in the
Blue Grass State could not remedy bad
liver or the hundred-and- one i'll effects it
produces. You can't have good spirits
and bad liver at the same time. Your
liver must be in fine condition if you
would feel buoyaut, happy and hopeful,
bright of eye, light of step, vigorous and
successful in your pursuits. You can put
your liver in fine condition by using
Green's August Flower-the greatest of
all medicines for the liver and stomach
and certain cure for dyspepsia or indi-
gestion. 1t has been favorite household
remedy for over thirty-fve years. Aug
ust Flower will make your liver healthy
and active and thus insure you a liberal
supply of good spirits Trial size, 25c;
regular bottles, 75c. At all druggists.

Care of Chlldrsn's Teeth.

| From the age of six months to thirty
months the maxillary bones undergo
notifications by successive eruptions
of the deciduous or temporary teeth
and for four years more these teeth,
twenty in number, develop in size
with the alveolar borders; when this
process is sufficiently advanced, the
permanent teeth which have also been
developing during this time, causes the
falling out of the temporary teeth and
cay induses tho vAvr;lction of the de-
| ciduons teeth, or if bad condition of
the mouth causes their disappearance,
the permanent teeth will appear too
soon, and developing in contact with
decayed teeth. the result is irregulari-
ties and decay, due to lack of space.
The beauty and position of the per-
manent teeth then depends on the
care bestowed on them during child.
hood and the child's health requires
that he be able to masticate his food
just as we'll as the adult does, in order
to accomplish perfect assimilation. 1t
is therefore necessary to keep his
mouth in good condition, thus avoid
ing the conditions arising from faulty
mastication. AS soon as the marks of
decay occur he should be taken to the
dentist for repair, the little patient
should have his teeth brushed once a
day with a soft brush and chalk and as
soon as possible taught to use the
brush himself, thus instilling into the
infant mind lessons of cleanliness and
profit, as the proper cleansing of the
teeth certainly greatly lessen their IL
ability to decay and stimulate the
tooth and gum structures.
