EDUCATIONAL LAWS.
Legislative Committee Did Not Conn
 pIete Its Work.


 Desire of a number of the members of the Committee on Legislation of the Alabama Educational Association to catch trains for their homes yesterday brought to a sudden close a meeting at which it had been planned to agree upon legislation which Is to be sought from the next Alabama Legislature. Although a number of measures which had been tentatively prepared for pre- sentation to the legislators were to be gone over, number of the committee men declared themselves unable to re- main in Montgomery until all should have been gone over md agreed upon. It Is doubtful that another meeting will be held before the meeting of the Legislature in which event educators of the State will not be able to present a united front in their efforts to secure appropriations from the State on a number of subjects.
 The committee met Friday afternoon

THE SENSE OF SMELL.
Gas, According to a Scientist, Ii It's
Fundament Basis.


Is the sense of smell excited by gases
or particles? According to DR.. John
Aiken, an English specialist, gas is the
fundamental basis of the sense Of
nell. In experiments he first investi-
ted musk, of which it is possible TO
eject by smell microscopic quantity
nconceivably minute, fact well
known 10 scientists. DR.. Aitken car
ried out his researches upon the cloudy
condensation basis. according to which,
if odors ara attributable to particles,
the latter form nuclei Of cloudy con-
densation in supersaturated air and
thus make their presence visible.
In the case of musk no such nuclei
were detected, proving that musk does
not give off solid particles, but evapo-
rates as a gas or vapor, and that it is
gaseous particles from the musk that
act on the sense of smell Of twenty
three other odorous substances not one
gave its perfume in solid particles,
nothing but gases or vapors escaping
from them. $3.50 -
DR.. Aitken points out that the nos
trils appear to substantiate this theory
The perfume of snuff, for instance, is a
soft, velvety sensation, while the effect
of the solid is sharp and biting, more
allied to pain than pleasure. -

Man and His Money.

Almost every woman has her basis
for the valuation of a man.. One girl
who recently broke off an engagement
to be married certainly has hers.
Z couldn't stand him." she said, 'be-
cause he carried his money in a fish
scale purse. That seemed to me the
limit. To my mind there is only one
really manly way for a man to carry
money, and that is to throw it around
loose in his trousers pockets, so that
when he wants a nickel he has to dig
up change by the handful to get it.
For bills, of course, | can stand one
of those fiat leather pocketbooks. They
have businesslike aspect and do not
detract from a mans dignity. But TO
see big strapping fellow who has the
appearance Of a+real live man draw a
little purse from his pocket and fish
around for dime is too much for me. -

Caring For the Teeth.

without good teeth there cannot be
thorough mastication. Without thor
ough mastication there cannot be per-
feet digestion, and consequently poor
health results: hence the paramount
Importance Of sound teeth. Clean teeth
do not decay. The teeth should not be
brushed from side to side. If this is
done the points of the gums will be in
jured and the teeth loosened. The up
per teeth should be brushed from the
top downward from the gums to the
ends Of the teeth, the lower teeth from
the bottom upward, also from the gums
to the extremity of the teeth. 1t is es-
Sential to wash the teeth at night and
wise to wash them also in the morn
ing. Rinse the mouth after each meal.

In the manufacture of spectacle
lenses the bit of glass to be formed
into a lens is fastened by means of
pitch to a small block of hard rubber,
so that it may be held. 1t is ground

Hogs are always more restless than
usual on the approach Of bad weather,
and when these animals. run to and fro
with mouthfuls of straw, leaves or

pigs probably made their own beds,
and when bad weather was coming
perhaps gathered a larger supply of

THE ARIZONA SPEAKERSHIP.

Five candidates are in the field for speaker of the lower house of the legislature.
 w. D. Bell, of Mar!copa, Neil E Bailey, of Cochise. Bo. J. White side, of Santa Cruz L. s. Williams of Coconino and c G Crook, O Mohave, are their names.
 Since Bell and Bailey announced their cand dacy, Williams, White side and Crook have been put for ward by heir friends, and are all of them at work with a greater O. less degree of ardor.
 Not until today did it become known that Whitesides was al aspirant for the place. Wh. Il questioned about the rumor, he had this to say:
 "It is true that I am after tn speakership. hur not aggressivrll My friends in Santa Cruz are dnin, the talking. Santa Cruz was ll.. only county in he territory tha elected the full democratic ticke . and we believe that entities us to recognition
 II will not he disappointed if | am not made speaker What tn. members of my party do in lhis matter, whatever their selection may be- will be just as wet pleased as If 1 had been chosen"
 Williams is perhaps making th' least effort of any of the five. He has not declared himself a can didate, though several of his friend, have suggested him as one well abl' to hold the position.
 Crook, who has been elected ill Mohave cnmn'v claims to have five votes already promised to him with the possibility of sever others supporting his cause befor' the legislature opens on Januar, 19
 From present appearances, the fight lays between Bell and Bailey with Whitesides still too uncertain an element in the contest to judge with any accuracy of his strength
 Bell and Bailey were the 6rsr two in the field. and on the day fol- lowing their election began to gel in touch with those elected on the democratic ticket in the different counties.
 Each has received several letters Bailey has the solid backing of the Cochise delegation, and Bell that of Maricopa. Bell today expressed himself as feeling confident that he will have majority of the mem bers on the democratic side of the house with him
 No prediction of the winner eau be made with accuracy al this time Several members have as yet re fused to commit themselves for Bell, Bailey or any of the others. and until the party caucus is held before the legislature meets there will be an uncertainty. winch may grow less as he date for the caucus approaches.
 Bell bases his claims for speaker on the fact that Maricopa's s interests are more diversified than any in Arizona, the delegate to congr. ss being from the. south. the chairman of the territorial committee from the north, and national committee- man from the east It has larger delegation in the legislature than any other county, and a greater representation than any other two, with the exception of d few counties.
 Several members of the next legislature have been here this week and much has been done in the speakership fight.-Enterprise
