In addition to the foregoing, there has
been quite large sum expended in the Inn

the authorities. Crosswalbs have been
laid at the most important crossings, new
sidewalks and culverts have been built,
and many other improvements made. The
establishing of grade by the council
caused great improvement in the appear
ancc of the town, as the property owners
raised their buildings TO uniform height.
When we consider the financial condition
of our people, it is gratifying to note the
improvements, as it shows their pluck and
energy, and confidence in the future pros
perity of our village. For two years past,
our crops have been failure, and even
during the past season have been hardly up

backs, many substantial improvements
have been made Some of the residences
built the past season are q credit to the
village and will compare favorably with

WE publish elsewhere on This page an ac-
count of the arrival OF Montana beef i'll Chi
cago. which does not llaiter our vanity to Il
very alarming extent. We had laborcd I'M
der the impression that Montana cattle
would not only average with States cattle,
but that they were Il little superior. They
are ''grass-grown" ii is true, and some of
them a little ~''leggy," but we were decided
ly OF the opinion that the majority Of our
herds We're strongly impregnated with Dur
ham blood. and have been perfectly carried
away with the figures at which they kick
the beam. .Two-year-old bullocks that
weigh from 200 to 800 TBS. are of common
occurrence, and we have known of three
year-olds weighing as high as $50 pounds,
and rather expected that our Chicago
friends would be favorably impressed with
them. The mere assertion that they are
most excellent grass steers" is no compli-
ment. However. we do not care to hold
question over tins matter. Our beeves will
bear Improvement, and we trust that our
stock-growers will continue to improve their
herds until even Chicago is forced to admit
their superiority.

In caring for the teeth, it is important
to bear in mind that weak acids, or acids
greatly diluted with water, have greater
dissolving power than acids in full
strength. Such an acid is contained in
the sour quotations from the stomach, in
many of the medicines administered, and
in the particles of food which, moistened
with saliva, have been left to terment be-
tween the teeth.
An article in the British Medical Jour-
nal takes the ground that the decay re-
suits m ainly from this latter cause. 1t
further says that the brush, as ordinarily
used, does not remove the particles of
matter that adhere to the teeth. It should
BIO moved up and down, ~ we'll as hori-
zontally.
The mouth should also be rinscd after
each meal, or, 1t any rate, before retiring
for the night. The writer also says that
it would be we'll, in rinsing the mouth, to
use solution made by dissolving teas
poorful of cooking-soda and . tablespoon
full of cologne in = quart Of water-the
cologne, however, being simply to help
the taste. -.
This wash should always be used i'm
medistely after taking any acid medi-
cine.
