@ of railway transportation
 Americans are prone to look
 with a degree of condescen- sion. long ago adopted an improvement in street car construction which is just being introduced into the United States. This is the double decked street car. the first example of which Gin America) is to be found in New York. The new American model is superior to any in use in Europe.
 The car is not only double decked. but stepless-moreoVer, it has a cen ter side entrance.
 The ordinary long open car used in New York city accommodates sixty persons seated, the short open fifty, the long closed car thirty-six, the short closed twenty three, the pay-as- you-enter car forty one to forty-seven and the stepless car fiftyone. The double decker will seat eighty eight persons and allow more room than ever for standees.
 Among the advantages of the new car enumerated by J. $. Doyle, super intendent of the New York Railways company, is the elimination of car steps, there being only ten inches be- tween the street level and the main floor of the car. The side door is ar ranged with a conductor behind a counter. so that all passengers may enter quickly and others may be dis charged with celerity, thus reducing the time of stops. The money chang ing desk for the conductor Is said to be an improvement and a time saver for the company and the passengers As the main floor is so near the ground, the distance to the second deck is only about twenty inches high CT than the main floor of many of the ordinary street cars. The stairways to the second deck are arranged fin such a form that they are easy to climb and are fully inclosed against indictment weather.
 The seats on the main floor are ar- ranged longitudinally. The center part of the ceiling is much higher than the ceiling directly over the seats oi the main floor. The seats on the sec ond deck are built longitudinally back to back in the center part and are directly over the heightened ceiling o1 the main floor, thus providing for g saving of space. Both compartments

 The upper compartment, it is expect ed, can be operated as an open air anC smoking section for at least sever months of the year. Protection against the clements is provided in the sum- mer by curtains. When the car is in-

breather," he says, '1s under disad- vantage. and most of all when sleep ing The mouth must fall open to per init breathing. The only right way to breathe is through the nose. An ob- structed nose compels cold air to en-
 ter the lungs through the mouth; the
 lining of the mouth, throat and air
 passages is dried up, causing catarrh;
 the tonsils are irritated, and often
 times infected, and deep, full breath
 ing is hindered. Unsound and irreg-
 ular teeth, swollen tonsils and adenoid
 growths are closely related. Neglected
 teeth and a dirty mouth are cause
 of diseased tonSilS and an obstructed
 nose"
 The clean mouth campaigners have
 issued printed directions for brushing
 the teeth, according to which the op- eration should be performed by nov ing the brush fin an up and down di- rection, allowing the brush to come we'll up over the gums in both jaws. This should be done on the outer sur face of all the teeth. Then open the mouth and carefully brush the cutting surfaces, special care being given to those in the back part of the mouth. | Then by tilting the brush cleanse the inner surfaces of the teeth again, all | lowing the brush to come well up against the gums"
 In order to insure the observance of | this rule a Brookline (Mass) public | school requires its pupils to take part 1 in daily toothbrush drill. New York | city has a number of free dental clin- l les. three of which are maintained by
 the Children's Aid society. At one l clinic in Brooklyn a little girl was re- preached for failure to brush her | teeth.
 But I do, doctor" she protested l tearfully.
 You can't do it very thoroughly, then,' said the doctor.
 q do it as thoroughly as I can," the little girl whimpered. You see, there's
 me mudder, an me father, an me two
 big sisters, an by the time the brush
 gets to me it's awful soft!"
 That there may be no occasion for such community of interest in the families of the children in their schools
 the officials of the Childrens Aid so- ciety sell toothbrushes to the young sters for cents each. Another phil
 lanthropist. young woman, who is
 president of the Good Cheer club. has | distributed thousands of toothbrushes free to the children of the crowded east side of New York. The children have
 been so anxious to acquire them that | several riots of small proportions have l attended the distributions, but it can not truthfully be said that an enthusi-
 asm for dental hygiene inspired most
 of the youthful strugglers. Sad to say l it was the intensely human desire to get something for nothing, and many a toothbrush so bestowed was used to scrub the gutter or the sidewalk ARTHUR J. BENTON.

Der of cases to say something indicat- ing that he remembers a former meet ing nor, like many another man whose personality has made him success in politics, does he disdain prompting from his companions as to the exact status of the local celebrities he meets in the course of his many journeys.
 Indeed, the experience of the Mis- souri politician is one from which most candidates are willing to take a hint. He had been addressing a crowd in 8 little town and at the close of his speech was accosted by an elderly man who said, You don't remember me, I reckon, MT. Blank?"

P>@ HOUGH the old stories of kiss
 ing the babies to get the votes
 H of fond parents have lost their
 point, at least so far as presi- dential campaigns are concerned it is not to be denied that, even in these days of direct primaries and generally altered political conditions. the can didate's personal appeal to the voters is a factor of great importance. Per haps no single element of this appeal is more noticeable and interesting than the manner of meeting people in the mass and individually. In this repub- lie the good old Anglo Saxon hand shake stands it's ground among all the changes that have come over cam paign customs.
 All three of the principal presidential candidates have had large experience in grasping the hand of that American public which as dearly as the average Englishman loves lord, delights to press the palm of the politically great. 4 governor of New Jersey has fewer demands upon what may be termed his greeting muscles than a president of the United States, but even he is likely in the course of his term to de- velop an abnormal case of glad hand" The Eugene Field jingle

He stood at the door of the Little White House" for an hour or more grasping the hands of those who filed past. About 5000 people were present, and, though not all of them insisted upon the privilege, it is safe to say that the governors right arm at the close of the day felt as if they had.
 Undoubtedly the handshaking rec ord of the country belongs to Colonel Roosevelt-what with his one term as

One reason why double decked cars have not hitherto been used in New York is that the branches of the ele- vated railroad gridiron the city and that many sections of the elevated structure are too tow to permit the new style of cars to pass under them.
