EIGHT ON BENCH THIRTY YEARS The Number of Justices on the Su preme Court Appointed by President Taft Has Been as Great as That Named by Jackson and Lincoln. President Tnft appoints WHEN to Justice John M. Ilnrlnn on the bench of the United States supreme court , ho will linvo mndo tnoro np- polntmcnt3 to that body than any president except Washington , Jackson and Lincoln. Washington appointed altogether thirteen members of the court , not all of whom served. Jack son and Lincoln cnch appointed flvo. Jackson reconstituted the court , leav ing It at the close of his term with a majority of the Justices holding com missions awarded by him. As originally made up the supreme court consisted of a chief justice and flvo associate Justices. In 1807 a ulxth associate was added when a now dis trict had been created to take In the now western territory comprising the eta tea of Ohio , Tennessee and Ken tucky. In 1837 the expansion of the nation westward again called for an Increase in the court and two more associate justices were added. In 1803 a ninth associate justice was needed , but flvo years later , when approaching vacancies made it likely that Prcsl dent Andrew Johnson might ha.yo'ltho llppolnhnont of the now jtnomborn. congress gross uan-ta-opmrantnKonlsm to the chief executive , reduced the number to eovcn , thus preventing him from mnk Ing an appointment. This number two yearn later , after the inauguration of President Grant , was Increased to eight associate jus tices and a chief Justice and as then constituted the court has remained. The last alteration in the court was declared at the time to bo duo to po litical reasons as clearly ns the roduc tlon in 1808 , as the addition of a now member made it possible for the court to reverse itself In the legal tender decisions. Records Since Washington. Excluding the appointment of members - ' bers who for one reason or another never served , the presidents have ap pointed members of the court as fol lows : Washington ( two terms ) , 0 ; John Adams , 8 ; Jefferson ( two terms ) , 8 ; Madison Ktwo terms ) , 2 ; Monroe ( two terms ) , 1 ; John Quincy Adams , 1 ; Jackson ( two terms ) , 5 ; Van Burcn , 4 ; Tyler , 2 ; Polk , 1 ; Flllmore , 1 ; Pierce , 3 ; Buchanan , 1 ; Lincoln , G ; Grant , 4 ; Hayes , 2 ; Garfleld , 1 ; Arthur , 2 ; Cleve land ( first term ) , 2 ; Benjamin Harri non , 4 ; Cleveland ( second term ) , 2 ; McKlnlcy , 1 ; Roosevelt , 3 ; Taft ( after Oiling the present vacancy ) , 5. Of Washington's original appoint ments , Ilutledgo and Robert B. Harri BOH declined appointment. Washing ton made more appointments to the of- Jlce of chief Justice than any other president. Ills first choice was John Jny. On Jay's resignation , In 1705 , Washington appointed Ilutledgo , de- nplto the advice of Hamilton and otu ore of his advisers. Rutledge presided nt the summer term of the court , but before the senate could act on his nomination hU mind had become 1m paired , and ho was rejected. The pres Idcnt then named William Cushing , an associate justice , who declined on the ground that ho preferred to remain as KO associate. Then Oliver Ellsworth was named. Jefferson Named Three. "When Ellsworth resigned , in 1700 , Adams , without consulting Jay , again appointed him to bo the head of the court. Jay refused to serve. Just be- toro leaving office Adams appointed Marshall. Jefferson , In his two terms , had the opportunity to appoint only three members of the court. One of these was Thomas Todd of Kentucky , who was named as the member from the now western circuit created In 1807. The manner of Todd's appoint ment was interesting. Jefferson called In all the members of congress from the three western states and asked them to submit to htm a list of their first and second choices for the place. The name of Todd appeared on every list. Madison soon after taking office found two vacancies caused by the death of Justices Chase and Cushing He first named Lev ! Lincoln of Mas- Rachusetts to succed Cushing , but Lin coin declined on the ground that his eyesight was falling. Then John Quincy Adams was Delected , bat ho refused because ho preferred diplo macy and wanted to remain minister to Russia. Joseph Story became the Massachusetts member of the court , and the other appointment went to DiivEll of Maryland. Ho Vacancy In Twelve Yean. Between 1811 and 1823 there were 90 vacancies.

His first appointee , William Bmlth of Alabama , declined , nnd ho named Catron of Ten- BFoo and McKlnlcy of Alabama. William Henry Harrison wan the first president to have no opportunity to nako appointments to the supreme bench , but Tyler , who followed him , appointed two justices. The second president who made no appointments was Karhary Taylor , but ho , llko Harrison risen , wan but a short time in ofllco. Klllmoro , who succeeded him , appoint- vl one. Polk , Pierce and Buchanan .ind the appointment of only one Jus- : lcocach. Lincoln who chose fire , including 3hlcf Justice Chase , was able to fill > no newly created place. This was for the new circuit created on the Pa cific slope , to which ho appointed Bte- phon .7. Field , Johnson , oa already re called , was prevented from making ap pointments to the court by having It cut down in size. Grant's first appoint ment was Edwin M. Stanton , who , however , never served , as ho died four days after his confirmation by the sen ate. Hayes appointed but two Jus tices , one of whom was the late Jus tice Harlan.

FILL THE TEMPORARY TEETH Thla Often Will Prevent Their Prama , turo Lots and Consequent Irregu larity of Second Set It is most Important that the teotb of children should bo attended to rot ? nlarly. When the teeth begin to come into position , they should bo brushed by the parents. This will not only cleanse the teeth , and assist In pre venting decay , but It also will form a habit which will be Invaluable in after life. Many older children ob ject to having tholr teeth examined and it is often impossible to do any thing with thorn. By starting at an arly age , it will accustom the child to th different procedure * ncoassarr in the care of the mouth. If you would aavo your child much Buffering , and the evlli of a fou mouth , you should have it * teeth ex amlnod for cavities ever/ three months , from the time it la two yean old. If a cavity can be found when first starting , it con be filled with little expense , and no pain. One thing that should not bo for gotten Is that there ia a regular time when each baby tooth should be lost Those children who lose their baby teeth too soon through decay do no have , as a rule , as healthy pormanon teeth oa those children who have ha ( their baby teeth attended to. What is Btlll worse , the early loss of the baby teeth is apt to cause the second teeth to come down In the mouth irregu larly , and often a disfigurement for life Is the result of this early neglect. By the filling of the baby teeth , the child 1 * also assisted in the mastica tion of 1U food.

No wonder that the child , thus ne glected , often displays a peevish , In rltablo disposition , accompanied by a lack of vitality and a tendency toward disease. At about the age of six the chile will cut Us first permanent teeth , am these teeth should bo watched for and carefully examined from time to time to prevent decay.

TheHo nro a few of the 10,000,000 specimens of the world famed collec tion of the National museum at Wash ington , which under a recent order is now open to ( lie public on Sundays ns well no week days. There Is not the Bllghte.st attempt on the part of ( he museum to make n blar ing cln-us exhibit of the things It IIIIH. The collection Is arranged In a scien tific manner , yet with nil the scientific \ tific en re that has been taken the curators raters have always kept the public In mind , nnd the ppeclmeiis on view rep resent only the finest and best of their kind. They are put there because they have a popular as well as Rclcntlllc In terest. The specimens come In at the rate * of hundreds of thousands a year. Last year the contributions to the museum amounted to 2tO,000. ; Tlio nrgim pheasant group IB In one tremendous cage. One of the birds Is a meek looking hen pheasant , but an big as a Christmas turkey at that. Al though the nrgus pheasant does not have the same sort of coloring the peacock Is blessed with , the manner of spreading the tail and foatbera IB the same. The curious feature of thla bird Is the great development of what are known as tfie "secondary feath ers. " These birds are rare , ns far as ex hibits are concerned , because they are very shy and have to bo trapped. The group Is worth several hundred , del lars. In the paleontology exhibit la the skeleton of a sea serpent. It is bigger than a whale nnd slimmer , and ho lived 3,000,000 , years ago. There Is a bit of a fake about the old reptile , seventeen feet long , furnished with two strong hind legs and two weak forelegs , for the bones of this animal were not all found. To make up the deficiency , Imitation bones were manufactured in the museum and placed In the proper position. However - over , the thing Itself is there , lie/ came from out west , and ho lived there several million years ago , before the dawn of man's era. Near him , hanging on the wall , IB n slab of stone with two enormous chicken tracks. That's what they look like. The tracks are larger than a baseball catcher's mitt , and they are the trail of Rome great beast which lived In the slime of a New England marsh several million years before Boston was founded. Across the hall Is the skeleton of the/ dragon which bad wings. There wa a time when these great beasts with wings did lly. They have no place now except in folklore and ghost tales , but be Is there , captured and pinned to the wall of the museum , labeled wltli a long Latin name , with plenty of description to tell exactly where ho came from nnd what sort of family he had. These are but a few things out of the great exhibit that has been men tioned. There are BO many others , even rarer and more Interesting to some people , , that the list of them would take days to read. The rock larger than two folding beds actually fell from the sky , nnd there are other rocks like It , varying in size down to little bits of stones no bigger than an acorn. THIEF THOLE HITH ETH.
