A Little Girl Nine Years Old Frozen to
Health

On Sunday, April 9th, about half
past two III the afternoon, Miss Clara
A. Waller, aged fourteen years, and her
sister, Miss Emma A. Waller, nine years
old now dead, left home to visit Mr..
Didries, about half mile distant from
home on the Mosquito Greek, and
about ten miles from Council Bluffs
About dark, the same evening they
started for home, and got lost on the
prairie, where they kept wandering
about all night until the chilling sleet
and fierce drifting of the cold wind of
thatnight penetrated them through, the
youngest child lying down upon the
open prairie, and died of sheer exhaus-
ton from the exposure of the night.
The eldest girl sat down beside her
dead sister and remained with her I'M
til daybreak, after which she crawled
home, and being SO much benumbed
with the cold, and overcome by the aw-
full death of her sister, she was unable
to speak for several hours. This is q
sad calamity, and one that should serve
as warning to children against being
too venturesome; and also to parents,
who should see that their children are
at home at proper hours, if they wish
to avoid such deplorable accidents. =

Care of the Teeth,

The best and safest tooth-wash in the
world Is tepld water. There is not a
tooth powder IN existence, or a tooth
wash, that does not infict a physical
injury to the teeth, and promote their
decay. Each dentist has a powder of
his own, which he sells at thou
sand per cent. profit, which he may
honestly imagine will dc a positive
good without any injury whatever;
but he is mistaken. The teeth were
never intended to be pearly white.
Every intelligent dentist knows that
the winter the teeth are, the sooner and
more certain they will decay; he also
knows that those teeth are the sound
est, last the longest, and are the most
useful which have yellowish tint; then
why provide powders to take off this
yellowish surface?
1t is useful to wash the teeth once a
week with white soap, making the
mouth as full as possible OF "lather, -
SO as to be close to every particle Of
every tooth for a few minutes because
the tartar on the teeth is the product
of living thing, which is instantly
killed with soap suds. A few persons
teeth not effected by soap, but which is
instantly killed with salt; hence each
person is advised to wash the teeth with
white soap once a week, and once a
week also with salt.
The teeth should be washed with
stiff brush every morning on rising by
dipping it once In the water and rub.
biDg the teeth slowly front and rear
from side to side, and finally twisting
the brush so that each bristle shall act
as toOth-pick at the Jennings of the
teeth, so as the more thoroughly to dis
lodge anything which might remain in
the hollows between the ridges. The
water in the brush combines with the
saliva of the mouth, and, by its great
softness makes one of the best solvents
IN nature Coz any extraneous substal 8
about the teeth. The teeth should De
brushed Immediately after each meal
with a soft, old brush, with plenty of
water, twisting it up and down as be-
fore. After each washing, the brush
should be placed far back on the tongue
and turned from side to side, so as to
clear off the tongue; this does much
towards freeing the. teeth from the last
thing eaten.
If persons would brush their teeth
we'll Immediately after the last meal Of
the day, instead of putting it OFF until
bed time, the teeth would be clean for
four or five hours more IN the twenty
four, which is not slight advantage
1t is unnatural, absurd and unphil-
osophical to have the teeth separated
with a saw, or frequent picking, or by
threads. --Ha{ps Journal

treat Guns.

You speak of the great gun recently
cast at the Royal Arsenal in England
as being the largest in the world This
is miitake. There is a gun at Fort
Hamilton, Long Island, that far ex-
ceeds the English gun in size and
weight. 1t weighs one hundred and
sixteen thousand five hundred and for
ty-nine pounds, which is over fifty eight
and quarter tons, while the English
gun weighs but thirty-five tons 1t car
ries ball one thousand pounds weight;
the English gun, a shot weighing but
seven hundred pounds It's service
charge is one hundred pounds of pow
der, which can be increased to one
hundred and fifty. 1t is twenty feet in
length, and is capable of propelling a
ball to distance of three miles. l
think this beats the Englishman con-
siderably. There is, however, still a
larger gun, of Krupp manufacture,
owned by the Prussian Government,
which was at the French Exhibition,
and which, according to recent article
in the Gartenlaube, throws a solid steel
shot weighing eleven hundred Prus-
sian pounds, encased in two hundred
pounds of lead.-Appleton's Journal.

On Breeding Horses,

The severe work to which Young
horses are now subjected is the chief
cause Of the present great liability to
disease. If they were well fed, and al
lowed to mature their constitutions be.
fore being trained, they would, in all
probability, remain sound for consid-
cradle time. This, we fear, is not like
ly to be attended to. The farmer has
so many demands on his purse that he
can scarcely afford to allow his horses
to roam at large till they reached their
fourth year; and the turtle finds it
more profitable to race his colts at two
years old, than to keep them over, at
heavy expenses, until such time as hui
mainly, and due regard to soundness
of the animals, would point out as the
proper period for their first appearance
on the turf The necessities of the one,
and the avaricious disposition of the
other, thus renders it next to impossi-
BILE to get good sound stock, either to
rs or to breed from.
The system of crossing which has
been adopted since the introduction of
thorough bred stations around in the
country, appears to be a further cause
OF the degeneration of our general
stock. Let his shape and qualities be
good, bad or indifferent, the one which
possesses a sprinkhng of brood is sure
to be the animal which VIII be selected
as a sire. HIS light action, SNOWY APP
pearance and high sounding pedigree
will be a sufficient recommendation to
those who are ignorant of the various
points and qualities which are connect
ed with the strength, substance, dura-
blhty and disposition of the animal
Besides, the same horse is certain of
being put to great number of mares
of all shape and sizes, without the
slightest regard to that exact adoption
of form and size of the dam. which is
absolutely necessary in order to secure
a satisfactory result. Breeding from
blood stations is highly commendable,
provided it is done with Judgment and
discretion; but the practice of UiOEent
crossing is directly Objectionable, and
cannot be too strongly condemned.
Extremes In crossing are very rarely
successful; audit is really astonishing to
see farmers so constantly putting their
complete cart-mares to thorough bred
horses, expecting to have foals of a
class fit for fast work, whereas nine
times out of ten they are fit neither for
slow nor fast use.
By the practice here referred to,
breeders expect to produce q horse
combining both strength and action !;
but they are very frequently treated to
an animal of snch nondescript form,
that he is fit neither for the land nor
the sea-" In place of being a fair me-
dunn between the sire and dam. he

parts, whilst in the other place be will

With cities and gardens, and cliffs, and isles,
And people upon you for thousands Of miles.
