These are the process Of teething, IN

the troubles incident to these circum-
stances would now be seasonable and
possibly interesting to many. AT all
events these matters are standard top
les of conversation among mothers, evil
dence that they at least know of the
gravity of the troubles in question.
Although a thermometer is not ex-
actly indispensable where there are
young children, yet it is a great incon-
yenience, for until the external tenn
perature rises to about 90 degrees, little
trouble may be expected from the heat.
Troubles due to the cause just named
are best combated by frequent spong-
ing of the face. arms, hands and feet
with simple cool water. Children that
are SO treated will be much less liable
to be effected by the heat and other
matters movie be spoken of
The liability 20 Indigestion increases
as the summer heat approaches the
maximum point. In the treatment of
this trouble the old rule about proven
ton viii be especially useful. At this
time the avoidance of fat and heated
food and of unwholesome breast and
other milk are very important points.
The foods most suitable for summer
use can be named in short order. Use
the most nutritious and digestible sub
stances that can be commanded. Meats
baked or boiled used cold. Cold cup
custard, rice pudding, cold, good ice
cream, milk and sponge cake are prime
articles of summer diet for all, and
especially for children who can use food
other than milk.
The eruption of the teeth goes on
most vigorously during the second year
of the child's life, and makes unusual
demands on its vital powers, This cir
cumstance accounts for the more
serious outlook of all the diseases
that may occur at this period of the
child's life. When a child is teething
and appears in great general distress,
with perhaps a hot and a dry skin,
much relief may be afforded by allowing
an abundance OF cold water to drink
and By a cool bath, followed by sharp
rubbings of all parts of the body. But
if, on the other hand, the child should
be attacked by sudden vomiting and
purging, with much apparent weakness
and cool skin, medical advice should be
had with all speed. While waiting for
the coming Of the doctor, a drop Of the
best brandy, in hot, sweetened water,
should be given by the mouth. Hot
spice plasters applied to various parts
Of the body, notably the stomach, would
be useful.

A New Hampshire correspondent of
The Mirror and Farmer, after pointing
out the advantage in thinning potatoes
which he thinks as important as in
the case Of an overcrowded corn-hill-
reports his own experience and opinions
as follows:
"The largest yield I ever had of nice
potatoes was by planting single eyes
fifteen inches apart each way. / plant
ed fouf" inches deep, kept the ground
loose, and did not hill. The yield was
very large and nearly all fit for the Ia
BILE. Had tho land been more wet, /
should have planted less deep; if very
wet / should have put seed on surface
and hilled if more light and dry / should
have put seed six or eight inches into
the ground and not hilled. III you are
to put two OF three or more eyes close
together in a hill, does it do any good
to cut them apart? / believe in plant
ing the best potatoes; and if eyes, the
best eyes from the best potatoes, and
in having as near n, S78 stalks orplants
as inches apart to the acre, and as
near evenly distributed as practical.

a River Under Lake Erie.

From the Erie, Pa, Dispatch.
"I believe, " said a well-known scient-
list to q reporter, there is a subter-
ranean river running from Lake
Superior through Lake Huron under
Lake Erie and emptying into Lake On
tario. There is no other way in which
to explain certain mysteries connected
with our great lakes. There is o con-
tinuous fall from Lake Superior to On
tario, and all the outlet that the upper
lakes have that is known is the compare
lively insignificant Detroit river. that
stream never can care for all the
great pressure and volume from
above, and the theory of an under
ground river, such as / mentioned, seems
to be most reasonable. All the st.
Lawrence fishes are taken in every one
of the lakes but Lake Erie. Why ?
Because they follow the the course of
the subterranean stream, passing 300
feet beneath the bottom Of Lake Erie,
and enter the waters Of the upper lakes.
The great lakes above Lake Erie have
an occasional hux and refux of their
waters, corresponding with ocean-tides
save in regularity.
"The subterranean river, according
TO my theory, becomes occasionally OBJ
structed BY great obstacles that are . n
stantly moving down from the lake lrot-
toms. Then the channels or outlet are
insufficient to carry of the great vol
ume Of water, and they are damned
back, and the lakes rise. Finally these
distinctions are swept away by the ir-
resistible pressure, theriyer flows natur-
ally once more and the damned waters
subside. That is the whole mystery Of
the rise and fall Of the tides in the
great lakes"

When improving stock never use a
half blooded mare. The sire must be
strictly thoroughbred, or uniformity in
the offspring cannot be secured.
While the Percheron OF ClydesdaIe
horse is excellent for drawing large
loads, the lighter Ind smaller animals
are more active, and compensate with
quicker move for deficiency in strength
as compared with larger animals.
Mr.. w. u. Hoard, the father Of Wis
consin's dairy interests, says that "the
logic Of sound breeding teaches that
no breed has yet been discovered which
will combine and transmitJJefsey results
in butter, Ayrshire or Holstein results
in cheese, or Durham results in beef. /"
A. writer on the subject Of the farmer
says that mutton and lamb of his own
raising should be so common on his ta-
BILE as to make unnecessary the contin-
ued use of sailed meat, or Of the weekly
or almost daily visits Of the Butchers
cart. Fresh fruit and vegetables, bread
Of wheat, rye or Indian corn, sweet
butter and fresh eggs, with a nice bit
of lamb or mutton, make up q most APP
petizing bill Of fare.
There is as much difference in eggs
as in beef, according to The Poultry
World. Those from a thin hen, poorly
sustained with garbage, slops and little
grain, spread in q thin, watery way ov-
er the dish, or look q milky white IN
stead Of having a lively, slightly yellow
tinge. On the other hand, a plump,
healthy hen, with daily rations Of nour-
ishing food, lays rich eggs which when
broken retain their form, yield with
more resistance and give the idea that
you are beating something thicker than
diluted milk.

xipe Fruit without sugar.

II is . common saying, and has been
accepted for many years, that goose
berries are at their best for culinary use
when still quite green" but custom is
not always supported by fact. MY ex-
perieDce, from long trial, ii that fruit
Of eli kinds should be fully ripe for any
cooking purposes, requiring then very
much less sugar, and the product being
richer and higher Favored. A great
deal Of canned fruit is prepared when
quite hard and unripe, which makes It
look inviting, but it does not compare
in quality with that which Is put up
ripe. Sugar when cooked with fruit
renders it hard and indigestible but
the practice, now happily coming into
use, Of using no sugar when canning,
but adding II when pat upon she table,
is q great Improvement. =. 3. T also

THE Arizona Miner says that chair man Rowe wlll send 4. C. Baker, of Maricopa, and ". K. Meadr. of Cochise. delegates to the National Convention. Purdy and Hughes may come in as al- ternates. There is row all along the Rowe. The Democratic Central Con- mittet of Pima county writes a letter to chairman Rowe and tells him that selecting delegates to National Con vention is not the duty Of a Territorial committee. The Gila county Democracy also protests against the cbairman's E action. These committees are right, aud very early iE tas political season the CITIZEN called the attention of the Democrats to thia high handed" pro- cedure. The seed we sowed spraug mp an hundred fold Now don't get mad because we assume that we started the ball, but the fact of the matter is, the CITIZEN likes to see fair play even in the Democratic party, and some of the Democratic organs were so busy about that time taking care of Gen. Crook that they actually forgot all about their party's interest. The Democrats can rely upon the CITIZEN keeping them posted upon the news Of the day, in- cluding the current news Of the Demo cratic party.

! 2, Nay May has come again bringm. festivities and imparting to every o13 a happy and genial spirit. Perhaps every town, hamlet and vicinity in th1s Territory is in some way participating in the festivities of these merry May days.
 Even our little town so long in a comatose state has aroused from it's slumbsr and joined the ranks of the merry makers.
 Friday evening, May 2nd, in response to the solicitations O; the young men of this place, we made our debut in the public social circle in the wsy of most delightful and enjoyable party given in Messrs. Solomon Wiekersham & Co.'S commodious store house which they generously and gratuitoasly rendered us for dancing hall. But little effort was required 10 make it ready for use. Though .it WAS not trimmed with festoons and pyramid of flowers as such luxuries are rare here, yet it was arranged in a most tasteful and inviting manner. The floor was canvased ana Wsxed until it was of a elassy smooth ness and was all that could be desired for dancing. From tue ceiling was suspended three chandeliers wIth eight lights. At tue end of the hall is attached Mr. SOlomOn's private office, recently relurnished and carpeted quite elabOr- ately. This was al-o placed at the disposal of the ladies and used for waiting parlor, which added another pleasant feature to the evenings enter tainment. Precisely at eight o'clock as arranged by the committee the music consisting of two violins and guitar, struck up the grand march and all fell iu line.
 Up to II o'clock the pleasure seekers enjoyed the dancing to their hearts content At that hour supper was au- uuuuced. At tue military department Mir. Reywand acted in the capacity os purveyer, assisted by M6ssrs. Morin and Singley.
 We take pleasure in extending to the committee the entire good WIS es of ali who participated In the evenings pleas u res. Alter supper the light fantastic was resumed until the early and fashion able hour Qf twelve thirty o'clock when c organizations were exchanged for the complete success of our first attempt at social gathering in Bowie.

TIE Florence Enterprise of last Sat urday contains a column article upon the Peralta Grant matter, instructing the people and urging them t0 band together for their self protection. IL
 says: "The truth Is, the grant IS gen tune. but has lapsed by reason of non compliance on the part of Peralta and
 his heirs. with its conditions. There
 are three papers in the documentary
 proofs of the title that are fraudulent
 and by establishing this fact the settlers
 will kill the grant and save their homes.
 $ $ As no one seems willing to take the lead in this war for our rights and homes. we suggest the following plan of action: Let pubic meetings be held in every town and hamlet within the boundaries of tie fraudulent grant, say on the 4th of July,-an appropriate oc- oasiop.-and let the citizens at each of these meetings appoint committee of three or five responsible men to receive snbseriptions for defense fund. &* It may require s4O,OOO to defeat the grant. as trip to Rome, Italy, and Madrid, Spain. and three points m Mex leo. may be necessary, and as there are certain important facts that may be ob- teinable only through the use of money. But considering what is at stake and the several thousand people interested, there would probably be no difficulty in raising this amount, if it should be needed"

THE political slate figuring Is going on now at lively rate ot speed. The po- litical mathematician is in demand. Tn every community, town, county or state, some fellow is a political fgurer that distinguishes him above his fellows. The best Arthur figurer We have seen yet is the Chicago Inter-Ocean, which says that out of the 79l delegates, omlt- ting Georgia and New Mexico, Arthur has 394 Blaine 2j3, Edmuuds 73, Logan 70, Sherman g, Hawley Il, and count ing in Georgia and New Mexico, Arthur's vote Is increased to f20, which gives him the nomination on the first ballot, as It only takes 4l1 to nominate; but the Blame calculator comes in with 3J9 votes, Arthur 264, Edmunds v, Logan 5. Sher- man g, and classes Ii delegates as un- certain. The Inter Ocean then sums 1t up as follows:
 On the basis Of either estimate the contest IS clearly between Arthur and Blaine, with less than 150 vo-5s held by other candidates There is no cohe- sive force amoug the minor factions, and not more than thirty of the delegates can be held for a dark horse. More than half the Edmunds men, all the To- gan men, and Hawley men have as sec ond choice either Arthur or Blaine The main question may be settled before the convention meets or 1t may remain a very puzzling one when the delegates -.a gDi ila1 4.s s--1

TIE Egyptians who have Genera Gordon penned up, want e5O0,OOO for him; and if England wants him she must ransom him, sayeth the Egyptian boss. England certainly Is in an awk- ward position. It would seem that the fall of this military leader would great ly imperil the British minis.ery, and perhaps be the destruction of Gladstone. Sir Samuel Baker in a letter to the Eon- don Times declares that there cannot be a more terrible example of faithlessness on the part of the British Government than Gordon's appeal to the millionaires of England and America to contribute money for his rescue. Sir Samuel Baker proposes that the Sultan shall supply 5,OO0, India 10000 and England 1000 troops to relieve Gordon, half the force to converge towards Berber from Suakim and the rest to proceed mp the Nile from Cairo. His own experience teaches him the practicabiIity of his proposition. But the British Government has already had ample opportunity to save General Gordon and has done nothing out hold Cabinet councils tO talk the matter over without taking any action.

TEE merchant who had that talk with

TIE merchant who had that talk with the Star reporter puts it a little strong. It is possible said merchant may have lost some money by bad debts. among printers. The idea is not a strange one. There are men in every craft who are trifing and dishonest, but there are also in the same craft as honest and honorable men as the mer- chant There gre trihiug and dishones; merchants; shall We condemn all mer- chants because f that fact. Not so.
 We gave publication to the printers circular as requested, in the same spirit We would give publication to an article written by the aforesaid merchant, iD reply to the printers union that gen tleman wishes to relieve the Star Of the burden. We d. not favor "boycotting." It is Q species of retaliation from which httle or no good comes One threaten the merchant and the other a newspaper. It was kind m the merchant" to draw the fire from Mir Hughes and partially re- lieve him. IL was shrewd m AIr. Hughes mixing the CITIZEN up with his personal matters, to draw the fire from himself and making catspaw of the nerchsnt This matter is one we are not personally interested in. It is time enough for us when such a thing oTertakes Us. Em- ployers and employees cannot always agree, and a time comes when there is difference Of opinion as regards wages; each undertakes to protect himself, and the fellow that has the longest pole gets the persimmon. This is not an ezten- siye manufacturing town, where there are trades unions. The union men here are not numerous, and II may be safe to take a stand against them; still, workingmen are dropping in along the byways and highways, and all workinCmen sympathIse with one an other, and as there is a future to Tue son-a manufacturing future-it would be well to bear in mind that We may have quite a number of that class O people among us before long. We vii never become very prosperous unless We do. The Stlr. however, is off on this matter. While it may attempt to attract the attention of merchants, it will not succeed in arrayiog them against the CITIZEN for publishing q communlca- ton from tine Printers Union. The CITIZEN alone pays out for wages during 6 year between Sl5,OO0 and S20,000; snug little sum distributed around. Occasionally there may be a dead-beat who falls to square his accounts ana jump the town. but complrei to th- amount paid the printers the sum must bs insignificant.
