A GraY-Haired Mothers Devotion.

On the 18th of June last Mrs. L. M.
Dettenreider, widow lady of sixty
two, living at Virginia City, New. learned
that her son was lying dangerously i'll
at Yellowstone Crossing, and at once
set out to nurse him. She travelled by
rail to Franklin, eighty-five miles north
of Ogden, thence by stage without, a
halt to Virginia, Mont, 400 miles
away, and to Bozeman, ninety miles
further, the remaining thirty miles of
her journey being done by vehicle, the
whole trip taking nine days. She nursed
her son for a month, and, though the
Nez Perces were raiding in the vicinity
did not abandon her post. She was one
of the first settlers Of Nevada, an ex-
perienced rifle shot, and acquainted
with Indian warfare, and so "didn't
scare worth cent Finding that her
son got no better, she resolved, he be-
ing unable to stand the fatigue of a rail-
road journey, to take him home herself,
and so bought wagon, span of horses
and tent and set out for Virginia City.
She camped out forty-six nights, this
not including the nights spent where
there were houses, the cold being SO
great many nights that the streams
and pools were covered with ice. Part
of the time young man accompanied
them, but during the greater part of the
journey the gray-haired mother was
alone, having to care for the invalid,
pitch the tent, attend to the horses and
do all the work of driving. Finally she
reached home in safety with her pre-
cious charge. Virginia (NeU.) Chron-
icle

Take Care of the Teeth.

The following rules for the preserva-
ton of the teeth received the prize of
fered by the Odontographic Society OF
Philadelphia:
Cleanse your teeth once, or oftener,
every day. Always clease them before
retiring at night. Always pick the
teeth and rinse the mouth after eating.
Cleansing the teeth consists in thor
oughly removing every particle of for
eign substance from the teeth and gums.
To cleanse, use well-made brushes,
soft quill or wood toothpicks, an antacid
styptic tooth wash, and precipitated
chalk. If these means fail, apply to a
reliable dentist.
Always roll the brush up and down,
lengthwise of the teeth, by which means
you may avoid injuring the gums and
necks of the teeth, and more thorough
ly cleanse between them.
Never use dentrifrice containing
acid, alkali, charcoal, soap, salt, or any
gritty or powerful detersive substance.
Powders and pastes generally are OBJ.
jectionable. They injure the gums and
soft parts of the teeth, and greatly as.
sist in forming tartar. A wash, proper.
ll llculCdltu anu CdTtlully pTepdTcu, IL
pleasanter and more beneficial. 1t dis.
solves the injurious secretions and de-
posits, and the whole is readily removed
with the brush and water.
Avoid eating hot food. Thoroughly
masticate and insalivate the food before
swallowing it. Frequent indulgence in
sweetmeats, ETC., between regular meals
disturbs the process of digestion, and q
vascid secretion is deposited in the
mouth from the stomach), which is
very injurious to the teeth.
Never allow any one to extract 6
tooth, or to dissuade you from having
them filed, unless absolutely necessary
Many so-called dentists, actuated by
selfish motives, advise extracting, and
sacrifice teeth which competent opera
tors can render serviceable for many
years.
Carelessness and procrastination are
responsible for a large majority Of
teeth that are lost.

Cancer Radically Cured.

Drs. McMichael 81 Dimock, Sc Niagara
street, this city, who have been devoting them
selves for several years to the treatment of
cancer, are performing some wonderful cures
without the aid of the knife or caustic, prac-
tically demonstrating the theory that this most
dreadful disease can be cured without either
of those agents The superiority of their
treatment over the knife is obvious, as it does
away with the loss Of blood and consequent
weakness from the latter. A great many of
their cases have come under our personal OBJ
servation, wherein they have effected perma-
nent cures; the patients suffering but COM
parativey little pain losing no blood or sleep,
and now enjoying the best of health. The
doctors are most affable gentleman, well
known throughout the city as practitioners of
long experience and unquestioned probity of
character We would earnestly recommend
everyone afflicted with cancer to consult them,
our confidence in their treatment warrantlng
us to say we believe they have the real mode OF
treating cancers, curing them and preventing
their recurrence. In this particular specially
We do not believe they have an equal. Send
for their circular.-Butd'o Christian AdVOcdte.

and were swept away. The vessel broke up

TO hold on. II was dark. Signals OF dis
tress had been made, but no response re-
ceived. No one knew where they we're, and
all that did get ashore were washed there by
the surf. The cause Of the wreck ia attrib-
uted to local attraction OF the compass and a
strong current setting on the shore, which
made the vessel go further TO the southwark
than her compass course indicated.
