CHILDREN'S TEETH.
Second Teeth Dependent Upon the Healthy
Condition of the First.

Second Teeth Dependent Upon the Healthy
Condition of the First.
Children's teeth are often neglected
by parents who give the young mouths
little attention until decay and the
child's complaints of toothache warn
them of their duty. Even if they know
there is decay going on they dismiss the
subject with the thought that they are
only the first or temporary teeth, which
will soon be replaced by the permanent
ones. This is a great mistake, as the
regularity of the second set depends
largely upon the healthy condition OF
the first, which should be retained in
their places until the second set is ready
to appear, when they will generally
drop out or become 1oosened and are
easily removed. Much mischief is done
by premature decay and the extraction
of the temporary teeth. Many think
that they should be removed to make
room for the permanent teeth-a dan
gerous mistake which should be avoided
if after trouble would be prevented.
One of the most beautiful provisions
of nature in the human economy is that
for the removal of the first teeth by abb
sorption of their roots to make room
for the second to advance. Sometimes
this absorption does not go on fast
enough. and the second tooth is observed
to be coming through before the first is
loosened. In such a case the dentist
should be consulted, who, if he has
made a proper study Of this frequent
condition of things, will very readily
correct it.-Dr. Gilbert, IN Boston
BUHuet.

~ADULTURATED CHEESE.
How 1t Has Affected Consumption and
Expectation.

IApoi
The prospect of raising the consump-
ton of cheese to a legitimate point is
not very promising. There is in the
first place a decp-seated prejudice
against eating much cheese. 1t is re-
garded as an unhcalthful article of diet,
and candidly we confess that we see
little hope of removing that objection
which seems to be bred in the bone. OF
course we admit that Il person can eat
too much cheese. We admit that COM
p%aratively speaking a small amount is
sufficient. 1t is a concentrated food,
just as pressed corn beef, for instance,
is a concentrated food. Many people
are injured by eating too much pressed
corr beet. They do not believe that
they are eating SO much because of the
compact form Of the beef. But the way
the average person eats cheese is ridic-
ulous. One little piece is taken usually
with pie. Now a person eat a quar-
ter of Il pound of good cheese, and not
be injured by it if his digestion is i'll
good condition. If it is not we do not
advise him to eat cheese at all, Or any
thing that will not pretty nearly digest
itself. We are not prescribing a diet
for dyspeptics. But for IN ordinary
person of fair digestion, we know of no
better and certainly no more convenient
food than good cheese.
But another thing that has led to de-
crease in the consumption of cheese is
the miserably poor quality of much of
the cheese that is sold, and the adulter-
alton of cheese in this country. Both
these things have greatly hurt the
cheese market at home and abroad.
A writer for an English publication
affirms as many before him have,
that the reputation of American
cheese in Europe has been greatly dam
aged by the persistent adulteration of
cheese. Prof. Arnold thinks hat
the way for America to keep her place
in the cheese markets of the world is
to send out lecturers to instruct the
how to make cheese. This is
good as far as it goes. 1t is a position
we have always taken. We firmly
believe that one of the most profitable
that our Government could un-
dertakc is to adopt some means by

WHY 1T STRUCK.

A Young Stranger Proves the Fallacy Of
an American superstition.
eyes, SIR" said the stranger; II have
seen lightning strike twice in the same
place."
''You have? Tell us about it,"
chorused the crowd around the office
stove.
81 was travelling through Chenango
County, and met with an obstinate old
farmer who wouldn't have lightning
rods on his barn. He would have
nothing to do with any such nonsense
that's what he called it. One day a
thunderstorm came up and a bolt
struck his barn. 1t knocked the build
ing into little pieces, burnt up three
houses, a patent reaper, a subsoil pillow,
a harrow, four sets of harness, six horse
blankets, sixty tons Of hay and the
farmers daughters baby. Well, the
old man had another barn built, but
he didn't put any lig%htning-rods on.
He said that lightning never struck
twice in the same place. Isdid, though.
Knocked the new barn endwise and
burned up four horses, two reapers, two
plows, two harrows, eight sets of har-
ness, a dozen horse-blankets, a hum
dred tons of hay and the farmers
daughters brand-new twins"
There wa a general silence for q few
moments, and then one of the crowd
said:
whats your trade, young feller?"

EGYPTIAN TRAMPS.

Shrewd Fellows Whose Check Is Not
\ Equaled by the American vasabond.
The tramp was formerly well known
in Egypt. The people are given to hos
pitality, and this virtue created a class
known as "spongers." Taking adj
vantage of their hospitablc countrymen,
these worthless would be present at every
entertainment, and could only be in
duced to retire from the company by a
present. Subsisting entirely by spong-
ing, they travelled about the country, in
truded into private houses, and prac-
ticcd various tricks to secure a square
meal" Two of these ''spongers" once
went to a religious festival, held at
Tanta, two days and a half journey from
Cairo. Atthe end of their first DAYS
Journey, they found themselves in
Klyoob, a small town, and at a loss for
a supper. One of them went to the
Cadi, and saluting him, said:
so Cadi, l am Il traveller, and I have
a companion who owes me fifty purses,
about n thousand two hundred and
fifty dollars, which he has with him but
refuses to give me and l am actually in
want"
An officer was sent to bring in the
accused, and in the meantime the Cadi
expecting to be we'll feed for a judg-
ment-he did not caro- for whom be

prepared. The two men were invited
to sup and sleep before the case was
tried. The next morning the Cadi OK.

TRICKS IN TRADE.
The Patience-Trying Dickering Of the
Alaska Indians. :

b Patience-Trying Dickering Of tie
Alaska Indians.
Indian No. l puts in IN appearance,
with a miserable lot of furs, and a more
miserable story ofpoverty--the badness Of
the river for trapping, the scarcity of
animals and the i~nferiority of the pelts,
his large family in need of support, his
honesty with the company in the past,
and a score of other pleas, the upshot
of which was a request that he might be
supplied with clothing and ammunition
for another year in return for the pelts
at his feet. The trader replies, setting
a definite price in trading material for
the amount of skins before him, and the
''dickering" begins. After half an hour
or an hours talk of the most tiresome
description, the discussion ends in the
Indian accepting the exact amount the
trader originally offered, or about one-
tenth of his own demands. Indian No.
2, who has heard every word of the o n
versation, then comes forward with the
same quality of furs and exactly the
same story, the trade lasting exactly the
same time, and with exactly the same
result; and SO on with all the others in
turn. Even No. II of the dozen present
does not vary the ~stereotyped proceed
ings, any more than an actor S inter-
probation of a part varies on the twelfth
night of a piece. Then Indian No. l
comes forward again with a package Of
furs Of a better quality than the first he
displayed, and solemnly af1irms that
these are the only ones he has left, and
that if the trader will not give him
enough clothing for himself and family,
and enough ammunition to last through
the winter, in return for them, they
must all go naked, and perhaps starve
for the want of the mean of procuring
food. This story, with its continuation,
lasts about half as long as the first, but
ends in the same way, as the Indians
%eloquence has about as much effect on
the trader as it would on the proverbial
row of stumps. The farce is repeated
by all the Indians in turn, and is yet
again repeated at least once before the
entire transaction is over, during all of
which time the white trader sits COM
posedly on his stool, and gives a pa
tient and unvarying answer to each in
his turn, under provocation that would
have put Job in a frenzy before the first
circle was completed.-From Lieutenant
Schwatka's "4long Alaska's Great
River." :

to keep his eyes open for any other
