The Teeth.

While it is true that the excessive use
of candies-especially so in modern
times-is injurious to the teeth. at least
through the stomach, it is evident that
the great cause of the rapid decay OF
the teeth among even the young is
from the poverty of the food used in
bone and muscle materials. 1t is not
strange that young ladies of twenty
summers, and even younger, may be
found with artificial teeth, when it is
known that they have been nearly
starred by living, or attempting to live,
on pastry, an article so destitute of the
material from which the bones and the
teeth are formed. This fact, with the
general faccidness of the whole sys-
tenn, the want of stamina-foundatio
less-will account mainly for the pre-
mature crumbling and decay of what
were intended as life treasure. We
may also add that the custom of soak
ing food, the use of very soft food, rem
dering teeth scarcely necessary, is
another prominent cause of decay

The Mine Disaster in Australia.
SAN FRANCISCO, January =

SAN FRANCISCO, January %.
From the Sydney Herald the following do
tails of the disaster at the Austraasian Mine
of December IL are obtained:
The accident occurred at $50 a. m. in adrift
from No. shaft, which unexpectedly broke
into the old workings of No. shaft. The wa
ter rushed through with great force, and in
few moments the lower levels were flooded.
and the flood rose thirty feet In the shaft.
The men employed at this point fed for their
lives along the drift to a station where twelve
reached the cage and were hoisted TO the sur
face. Twenty-seven men in the other part
of the new workings were unable to reach the
shaft, and the only hope was that they might
be able to reach and ascend distant Wine
leading to an upper level.
The scene at the top of the shaft was pitlful.
Mothers, wives, children and friends gathered
there, waiting almost without hope for news
from below. The pumps at once started,
throwing 1900 gallons per hour, and all the
miners in the district assembled to lend assist
ance. The body of water was so great that the
pumps lowered II very slowly, and diver was
sent for to attempt to penetrate the mine to
learn the fate of those below. The project was

drove back the relief party, and several SINH

About seven o'clock on the morning of the

heard the words; ats all right We are all
right" About six p. m. word came up the
staff that the lost were found. The news
spread like wildffe. The whole neighborhood
focked to the shaft. Tanks were improvised
as carriages on which to raise the men to the
surface and half an hour later John Manlcy
was brought up alive. He had been caught
by going to warn .comrade of the danger
when he might have escaped.
Soon four Others were brought up, all
greatly exhausted, but in fair way to
recover. The cage rose again, when the ter
rible truth was learned that the twenty-five

the timbers could they keep their chns above

TRENTON, N. j., July 2.-President
Gowen, of the Philadelphia s. Read.
ing railroad company made application
in the United States circuit court to-day
for the vacation of the injunction of Sat-
urday last granted on the application
VIM. r. Dinsmore, of New York city, to
restrain the Central railroad COM
pany from paying over further
money to the Philadelphia &
Reading company. Pending the final
hearing on rule to show cause why the
lease of the former by the latter company
should not be annulled, MIR. Gowen
called attention to tho relentless strug-
gle waged between the Pennsylvania and
Central roads for the past two years, and
charged that g the present injunction was
asked merely to cripple the Reading COM
pany's finances aud for stock gambling
purposes" He sald "all the money on
hand was required to discharge the
interest and rentals due to day, and if the
Injunction stands it might result in great
damage to widows, employees and other
poor people merely TO satisfy miserable
clique of stock gamblers" MIR. Gowen
stated that, if necessary, security would be
given that the revenue OF the Central
railroad should be used only for actual
expenses until the rule to show
cause is argued. A lively discussion
followed between counsel over Mr..
Gowen's charge that his company had
been refused copy of Saturdays applica
ton.
Court then adjourned until later in tho
afternoon, in order that copy of Satnr-
days bill could be procured.
