It THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. THURSDAY MORNING. JUNE 16. 1898. Doings of a Daughter of Eve She Gives a Sensible Talk on the Care and Health of Teeth.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER NEW YORK. The Fertiinine Observer' Want of principle often proves to be one's prlnctpal want. Gloves are worn out and yet not worn on during the humid spell. Bear up under adversity nud your head will not be turned by prosperity. Interest lu a baby Is the purest emotion man or woman ever experiences.

And now there are bath robes that are In very truth glorified editions of our flag. The only time a man takes no Interest In bfc dinner is Just after he has eaten It. Why Is It that our best effort so rarely seems to be thought such by other people? If you are living in the country It Is deemed quite the correct thing to go to church awheel. The woman whose frock sweeps the streets may be stylish, but she is certainly not tidy. The most inferior twanging of the banjo sounds romantic ou the porch these summer evenings.

That tired feeling generally nffects the individual who encounters a bicyclist Just learning to ride. The bicyclist who shows any consideration for the pedestrian Is so rare that mice seen he or she Is never forgotten. Why Is it that as soon as anything Is dubbed sanitary it at once looms up In the mind's eye as hideously ugly? The woman who takes a house in "the country soon becomes used to every known and sundry unknown kind of bugs. Many of us have discovered that the only sort of bread east upon the waters Is the stale sort that Is unfit for any other use. Some women are so tremendously interested lu the affairs of the man they love that they come pretty near boring him to death.

Don't cry over spilt milk. If you hadn't spilled it it would have probably soured before morning anyhow, If the iceman had neglected to call. i 0 SEE the reckless way lu which some people treat their teeth Is enough to make even their worst enemy remonstrate with them on the sub ject. They seem to regard their teeth as mere machines to eat with, and ns though they were made of cast Iron or granite. They clean them, to be sure, because custom and society require it of them.

But they seem to think that with this act all their duties end, and then are the first to mourn and lament when their teeth begin to decay and chip and play them false. The care of the teeth should begin in the very earliest days of childhood. As soon as a baby's teeth appear the nurse should keep them clean with a piece of soft clotn. ana, ns soon as there are enough of them to Justify It, they must be cleaned regularly twice a day with a soft tooth brush. As soon as the first teeth begin to loosen, take the child to a dentist to remove them.

By doing u.i8 he will be able to see that there is proper room for the second teeth to come In, and that they are not overcrowding each other. As the new teeth grow, frequent visits should be made to him, so that he may see that they are coming in eveuly and properly. After this a periodical visit should be made to a deutist, so that he can examine the child's teeth, and see wheu anything goes wrong. Of course, nt the first hint of toothache, or, in the case of a chip off one of the teeth, a visit should be made at once to him without further delay; but, In the ordinary course of events, a visit every three months will be fouud to be sufficient. A child should never be allowed to break nuts or bite thread with Its teeth.

If this is done, the enamel on the edge of the tooth Is chipped, and decay rapidly sets In; nud, besides which, chipped and imperfect teeth are anything hut pretty to look at. The teeth should never be touched with any steel or metal instrument. If the teeth are well brushed after every meal, a toothpick will not be required. If, however, the AFKS' teeth are rather cramped together, and particles of food get between them which cannot be dislodged by the toothbrush, a quill toothpick may be used; and it ought to be needless to add that this operation must oniy be performed In the privacy of one's dressing room. But some people, of otherwise good breeding, have often to be reminded of this little fact, which seems to escape their memories; and if the teeth are properly cared for by a skilled dentist, there should be no need of anything of the kind.

The proper thing to use is silk dental floss, which can be run between the teeth, and which will answer the purpose better than anything else. The teeth, to be kept In proper order, and to look white and Immaculate, should not only be brushed night and morning, but after every meal in the day. The tooth bruh must be rather hard, and you must provide yourself with two or three various shapes, so as to keep the teeth In proper condition, ns you cannot properly dean every tooth unless you have a brush that Is specially constructed to reach the back corners in your mouth. A tooth brush should be well washed in dean fresh water, aud either soap or ammonia used now ami then to clean It with. New brushes should be provided frequently, when the bristles begin to looseu get another one at once; Not only, will it cease to do good to your teeth, but the accidental swallowing of a loose bristle has often led to terrible throat aud Internal troubles.

Never shut a toothbrush up iu a box, but stand it up in the air. The water that you use to clean the teeth with should always be tepid. Cold wuter should never be used on any account, and hot water Is quite as bad, They both give too great a shock to the teeth, which are full of nerves and very sensitive. To clean the teeth properly you should spend at least ten minutes over them both night and morning. Brush well and vigorously, and always lengthwise of the teeth first, and then up and down with the tooth brush made for this purpose.

Never mind If the gums bleed, they will soon cease to do so as they grow mure hard. Next rinse the mouth In fresh warm water, and then paint the gums with a tlucture of borax and myrrh, iu equal parts, with a camel's-hair brush; then rinse out the mouth again with warm water. If the guius are painted with the myrrh once a day. It will he found to be sufficient; but a few drops of myrrh in a glass of water can he used at night to rinse the mouth with. Chalk water should be avoided to clean the teeth with, as It is apt to cause premature decay and disease of the teeth aud gums.

I'ulcss you are sure of your tooth water, hove it boiled and Altered before using. 4 Too hot or too cold food is very bad, Indeed, for the teeth. The rapid transltlou from heat to cold Is the worst possible thing that could happen to them, and often causes cracks and disease of the teeth. If vinegar Is taken with one's food, or medicine lu which is any kind of Iron, steel or any acid the teeth not only should be well brushed afterwards, but the medicine taken through a glass tube. Hash "With Tartar Sauce.

Chalrmnn Garman, of the Democratic State central committee, who was at Atlantic City yesterday, conferring with Chairman Hurley, of the Allegheny comity Democratic committee, is expected to come to this city to-day, and the friends of Judge Gordon who are anxious to see the Judge nominated for Governor tiy the Stnte convention at Altooua, on June 20, will endeavor to get Garmau's ear for a chance to convince the chairman that their favorite should be given the distinction he seeks. The Gordon people are by no means encouraged over the fact that Gnnuan, as he was passing through the city the other day, on his way to the seashore, rather threw cold water on their boom for the local Jurist, and stated that In his judgment the antagonisms which would be created by his nomination would in nil probability bring about his defeat, and that either Ex-l'iilted States Solicitor General George A.

Jenks or Ex-Congresmnn Simon I'. Wolvortou would be a good man to head the Democratic State ticket in the present emergency. Gordou Boom Going: Back. A number of Democrats from different parts of the State will also be In town today, Including Ex-Congressman James Kerr, of 'Clearfield; oHward Mutchler, of Northampton; D. A.

Orr, editor of the Harrisbnrg Patriot, and possibly IleWItt C. DeWitt, of Bradford, and they will also confer with the Stnte chairman relative to the work of the State convention. It plainly apparent that the advocates of Judge Gordon's nomination are by no means as sure of success as they would have the general public believe, and the fact is that the Gordon boom has been perceptibly going backward during the past two or three days. It has transpired in that time that many of the delegates elected in the Interest of the Gubernatorial candidacy of James M. Guffey.

are decldely opposed to being transferred to an eastern man, and they are particularly averse to being delivered to Gordon in view of the factional troubles in the party in Philadelphia. For several days past Judge Gordon's friends have been putting forth efforts to bring about at least a semblance of harmony in this city, but so far there is no evidence that anything will come of their attempts in this direction. Member of the Irregular city committee which is operated by the Gordon retaluers have thrown out the Intimation that they stand ready to make concessions in the formation of a new city committee, to be made tip of adherents of both sides, with County Commissioner ltyau as chairman, but the Byanites do not appear anxious to njb-ble at the bait. A Ilalf-and-Hnlf Plan. It has been proposed by the Gordon men that the regularly elected uncontested member of the city committee come together I none body and compromise the disputed memberships from the Eleventh, Sixteenth, Eighteenth, Twenty-fourth, Twenty-sixth, Thirty-fourth and Thirty-sixth wards, by admitting the men who claim to represent those wards In both the Gordon and Ryan organizations, with a half vote each, Mr.

Ryan to be chairman of the amalgamated half-and-half body; Thomas Delahunty, the present chairman of the Gordon outflt, to be vice chairman and the other officials to be divided between the two factions in llkt manner. On the part of the followers of Commissioner Ryan there is, however, no disposition to fall in with the scheme. They contend that under such an arrangement the wards which would have two committeemen each, with a half vote apiece, would in reality have representation at all, inasmuch as one-half a member would, in all probability, have his vote completely nullified by that of the other half. Besides, it Is held by the members of the Ryan city committee that their followers want to fight out the issue between the factions at the polls and that a compromise entered Into by the leaders would not be favorably received by the rank and file of the voters. ALLEGHENY DEMOCRATS Want to Name Their Own State Delegates If Guffey Withdraws From the Race.

Special Telegram to The Times. Pittsburg, Jnne 15. Frank I. Gosser, W. H.

Thompson and A. G. Smith, antl-Guffey Democrats, who claim the Allegheny county Democratic committee had no authority to give James M. Guffey the right to name his own Stnte Convention delegates, called on Mr. Guffey this afternoon to nrge him to have delegates elected in the regular way.

They said County Chairmau Joseph Howley Is dodging their request and the time limit given him to reply expires to-morrow. Mr. Guffey said the committee gave him the right to name the delegates as a compliment to him. He said he has no authority to call the county committee together to take up 'heir request. After the, meeting, Mr.

Thompson said: "Guffey is probably not going to be a can didate for Governor and he cannot afford to go before the convention and use his delegates for some other candidate after having the privilege of naming the delegates himself. Such proceeding would be unheard-of In politics. The people will not submit to such treatment. Now. the only fair thing to do is to allow the Democrats of Allegheny county to name the delegates.

If Guffey will not consent to our proposition, we will cull a meeting of the county committee ourselves nud elect delegates. Democratic Primaries in Chester. Special Telegram to The Times. Chester. June 15.

The Democrats of Chester held primary elections to-night to elect delegates to a county convention to be held to-morrow at Media, when delegates to the State Convention will be elected and a full county ticket nominated. The Harrlty people want to name Ex-Governor Pattison for Governor, but the free sliver people are against him. There was considerable feeling at all the party caucuses tonight and It looks as if the free silver men will win the Stnte delegates to-morrow. State Political Notes Geftrge C. Wugenseller was some time ago recommended by Congressman Mahon for the appointment as postmaster at Sellns- The matter was held In abeyance or several weeks, but yesterdav the appointment was made and the matter is now settled.

Major E. P. Rohrback was an applicant against Mr. Wagenseller. The Democratic standing committee of Cumberland county meets at Carlisle Saturday for organisation for the ensuing year.

An interesting contest Is expected for the county chairmanship. Among the names mentioned are Herman Herg, Conrad Hanibleton and John L. Henry, of Carlisle; Calvin Hughes, of Camp Hill; Samuel Km-nilnger and H. H. Mercer, of Mechanics-burg.

The Delaware county Democrats meet In convention lu the Court House at Media today to elect seven delegates to the State Convention and also to nominate a county ticket. It Is understood that there will be an attempt to harmonize the factions and that an Inducement will be held out to the bolters of two years ago to return to the fold. Some of the party are opposed to qnes. tions nf national issue being drawn Into the campaign, so that the party can unite for tliM year In the fight to elect a candidate for Governor. There is a sentiment in the nonnty both for and against Judge Gordou for Governor, and a move to have the convention Instruct for him will uo doubt be opposed.

HJI. NKWHOI.D F.LY. Treas. and Ncc'y. TOW.

HVnKNIIA.lt IAK. ee y. CHARLES) JtHKI RIII. An't Treas. HERE IS no state of life to be named which has not Its rough places as well us Its smooth.

Riches themselves that mucb-de-slred good of the Impecunious even riches have their cnrklng cores and gnawing anxieties, and the owners of millions are often found to wish that they had just enough, and were without that tremendous margin which makes the too much. It is certain, however, that, wish this as they may, they never come to hour when they divest themselves of their encumbrance, and boldly lay down the golden cross under which they toll. They wish and they lament, they groan over the rough bits which spoil the smooth, but they go ou and endure, and only when they have come to the time when the grasshopper is a burden and they have to leave It all do they thoroughly realize that so much of it was vanity. Poverty seems to the well-to-do to be all THE rough places, with never a smooth tract in between. So, perhaps, absolute penury is that amount of poverty which looks longingly at the loaf with no pence lu the empty pocket, and hunger gripping the vitals! But with comparative poverty there are smooth bits in the absence of those cares by which wealth is oppressed, and In the freedom from the bondage of society wherewith others arc enslaved.

And there are wholesome little pleasures, too, which make many a smooth walk in the roughlsh road. When rich people flourish abroad In loug, fatiguing Journeys, the Impecunious, who are not quite paupers, go out Into the country by a "third-class return," and spend a blissful day on theliills, on the common, by the sen nhore, in the lanes and under the shelter of the hedge in an open field. This is the smooth to their week's ordinary roughness, and It Is divine. So that no one has It all rough, as uo one has It all smooth, but each has to submit to the alterations by which life Is governed. And again we say the wise and good take that alternation cheerfully, accepting the rough with the smooth, aud making no fuss about it! A GALLANT CAPTAIN'S DAUGHTER Miss May Slgsbee Is Both Artistic and Literary.

May Slgsbee, the Bchoolglrl daughter of Captain Slgsbee. has a turn both for'the artistic ond the literary. For some time past her illustrated stories have appeared regularly in a well-known Washington journal and have won the author-artist considerable credit, as well ns a substantial Increase In pocket money. In common with her two sisters. May Slgsbee enjoys an allowauce from her father, but because of her success with pen and pencil she is looked upon ns the wealthy member of the family.

This doesn't hinder her, however, from continually overdrawing her allowance Just like other girls. Not long ago. wheu she approached her father and told bliu that, although the month wasn't half up, she was bankrupt, be charged her with extravagance. "You don't take care of your money ns you should," he said. "Why.

only the other day I heard of your taking lot of your schoolmates and treating them to $5 worth of candy." "That's very true, papa," was the answer, "but you know a girl must sow her wild oats some time." There was a prize offered by one of the New York art schools this winter, for which Miss Slgsbee, with a number of her friends, decided to compete. The other girls, however, declared that they would not enter If May sent In her work signed with her full name. "Your newspaper sketches have made you known." they said, "and you'll stand twice as good chance of winning." "All right." said May, "I'll sign them which she did, but took the prize. Miss Slgsbee's first contributions to the Washington Journal were sent by mall. Even after she had become a regularly salaried member of the staff she still posted both the stories and sketches.

One day, when several mouths of steady work had begun to make her feel like an old contributor, she went down to the office. The editor was surprised at seeing a young girl lu short skirts and with braids down her back, aud when the customary weekly check arrived the yonng girl found that this surprise had taken the form of a reduction In her salary. Then Miss Slgsbee paid the office another visit. "If my work isn't worth what you thought it was before you knew I wore short skirts and braids down my back," she said, "it Isn't worth anything, and I'll give It up altogether." 1'he editor assured her that, short skirts or long skirts, her work was wanted, and at her own rates. He was as good ns his word, for the next check was a "raise" upon the original salary.

James Colgan, of 332 New street, who on Tuesday last wos held without ball to await the action of the Coroner In the ease of the death of John Zeinmerel, was yesterday released from prison on a writ of habeas corpus and entered bail In the sum of $5,000 to appear at the Inquest which will be held by the Coroner to-day. The Story was that Colgan had struck Zemuierel a blow last Monday night that threw hlin to the street with such force as to cause a fracture of the skull, from which Zemuierel died the next day in the Hnhiie iiinnn Hospital. Pacts now in possession of the Coroner place a different construction on the unfortunate position in which Colgan has been placed. Zeinmerel, who came from Germany about ten years ago, bore a most unsavory reputa tion.

Five years ago he deserted his wife and, taking their combined savings, returned to Germany. Three years ago he turned up in Philadelphia again and found that his wife had died of want during Ills absence. Since that time Zemuierel has been going from bad to worse and for live days before his death was seen constantly drunk around the neighborhood where he finally fell. On the night in question Mr. Colgan, who bears an excellent reputation, was sitting on his doorstep when Zemuierel came reeling along New street.

When in front of Colgan's house he dropped some loose coin on the pavement and Colgan helped him to pick them up. at the same time advising Zeinmerel that he had better go somewhere and sit down. Not a long while after this Colgan went out to get some medicine for his daughter. Returning home he found Zemuierel standing on his pavement. As Colgan passed to go Into the house Zeinmerel in a drunken manner attempted to throw his arms around Colgau's neck.

The latter was anxious to return to the bedside of his critically ill daughter and brushed past the drunken mau.
