CHILDREN'O TEETH.
Their Care and Preservation Should Be Attended
TO BY Mothers.

The following interesting article on the
care Of children's teeth is taken from q re-
cent issue of the New York Tribune and
worth the careful consideration Of all moth
ers:
Very few mothers realize the necessity of
caring for and properly preserving child'S
first teeth, so that they shall drop naturally
out of the jaw, without decay, when the
time comes. AS soon as the child is able to
eat solid food the teeth should be taken note
of. When the little one is three or four
there will often be decayed spots in the teeth.
These cavities should be treated at once by
a dentist, and filed with the soft temporary
cement, such as dentists use for this pur-
pose. The care of the first teeth not only
prevents the child's acute suffering with
toOthache, but it keeps the mouth in a
Clearly, wholesome condition, which con-
duces to sound bodily health. The presence
in the mouths OF little children of fOullY
decayed teeth is given. on trustworthy au-
thorily, as frequent cause of diDhtheretic
and other fungoid diseases. Were it not for
these important reasons, ii would still be
desirable tC preserve them to the proper
time; for where the teeth are removed too
early the Jaw does not enlarge further and
when the permanent teeth come in there is
not room for them. This is a fruitful cause
for the tapping and prOtruding teeth which
are so often seen, and are exceedingly ugly.
The first permanent teeth come in when
the child is about 6 years of age. These
are molars, and they come back of the milk
teeth. A few years after the child begins
to feel the front teeth lOOsening; and when
the teeth have been properly attended to,
these teeth may be taken out by the child
with its own fingers, with little or no loss of
blood. The permanent tooth is underneath,
and it is its pushing against the milk-tooth
and absorbing the root that causes the milk
tooth to come out. The writer has seen
children take ont their canine teeth (the eye
and stomach teeth with their fingers, in PR
fectly sound condition, the root having been
entirely absorbed by the new teeth. Chill
dren whose first teeth have been thoroughly
cared for have str niger and better teeth
when the permanent teeth come. At least
once in six months q mother should examine
the teeth of her children with an eye to pos
sible cavities, and, when necessary, see a
dentist without delay. Nothing is more
absurd than to tell child who is put into a
dentists chair that he is not to be hurt. Tell
him firmly that he will be hurt, but that the
pain will last but a short time and he must
bear it bravely. Little ones OF SIX will often
endure the fortunes of dentists chair with
more bravery than strong men, when they
know what to eX ect.

THE BABY CRIED.

1t Was Lifted Out on the Sidewalk and
Its Carriage Stolen.
Pedestrians in the neighborhood of
Seventh and Diamond streets were at
tracted Tuesday night by the loud cries of
a well-dressed baby, who sat on the pave
ment near the corner, apparently without
any attendant, says the Philadelphia News.
Soon afterward, however, little girldressed
as a nurse made her appearance on the scene,
and without any explanation joined in with
the baby, and both cried at the top of their
voices.
BY this time a crowd had collected. among
whom was a policeman. He finally sue
ceeded in quoting the girl, when it was
learned that the reason she was crying was
because few minutes ago she had left the
baby in its coach standing on the curbstOne
and now that the vehicle was gone, probably
some one lad stolen it, and she would be
discharged il she went home without the
baby wagon.
The policeman, however, quieted her
fears, and after taking the baby and nurse
girl to their home, he started out in pursuit
of the thieves, finally locating the carriage
at Lizzie McDOnald's house. Miss Melon
aid was taken into custody and OH her ar
rival at the StatiOn-h0use she admitted her
guilt.
She said that Louisa Kenny and herself
were coming down Seventh street, and
when they saw the child was alone they
took it out of the coach, and placing it on
the pavement took the wagon away. Miss
Kenny was also arrested, and at a hearing
before Magistrate Gillespie, they were held

A FAMILY REUNION.
Heirs of Ex-President Fillmore In Ses
sion at Buffalo.

Heirs of Ex-President Fillmore In Ses-
sion at Buffalo.
Those who passed in or out the bar-room
at the Tiff House Yesterday afternoon could
not have helped noticing a party Of four
men. They would have attracted attention
in any place in this city, for they were typi-
cal farmers and of the most "hoosier''
stamp.
They were having a big time. But their
mission here is one calculated to make them
happy. 1t was sort of family reunion Of
the heirs of President Willard Fillmore.
The meeting means more than family re-
unions usually do, as it will be the means of
bringing to each one of the heirs nice little
fortune, says Buffalo dispatch. The Fill
more estate is worth about 100000, and it
is TO be divided among eleven persons. five
Of whom live in Michigan, three IN Indiana,
two in Washington and one in California.
Those who are here are George NJ, Benia-
min F., AlmOn l.. and Willard G. Fillmore,
all nephews of the eX-PreSident. The other
heirs, with the exception of one, are ex-
pected here to-day for the final settlement
Of the estate in the SurrOgate'S court.
The four nephews had everything their
own way at the Tiff House, and they spent
money. They wore boiled shirts, but no
collars or cuffs. Their shirts were of that
kind that have plaits and button up the
'front.' WITH neCK-Oanu WlU6 enough 10
make collar unnecessary.
AlmOn is a smOOth-faced, solid man, So
years old, and is said to resemble the ex-
President more closely than any other Of
the living descendants Willard G. is a
sturdy man of SO years, and wears a gray
mustache. Benjamin f. is the Oldest of the
Fillmore heirs. He is 65 years of age, ana
with his tuft of gray chin whiskerS and
sharp features makes good Uncle Sam.
The four nephews arrived Wednesday.
AlmOn was the spokesman of the party ami
seemed to take a greater pride in the mem
DRY of his famous old uncle than any other
of the party. "Ihis was uncle's watch" he
said, proudly, as he drew from his trousers
pocket an old-fashioned, Open-faced gold
watch. twas an English lever, and seventy
five years ago was probably one of the most
valuable watches in America. On the back
case is this inscription: Willard Fillmore,
1887"
''It's good timer yet" said the old farm
er, ''and many time have been offered
$1,000 for it,"
4 large gold seal that also belonged to the
President is attached to the fob. Last
night, farmer like, the old boys got to brag-
ging about their strengthened exactly about
their own strength, out ABOUT the physical
superiority of their boys. AlmOn began it
with: "Say, I've got boy that can
turn any Fillmore bOttOm-side up that's
living"
Il say he can't" broke in Willard.
I'll just bet you that he can"
"Well, I'll just bet you that he can't.
Takes pretty stOggy man to turn me bot
tOm-side up
But old Almon insisted that his boy was
the strongest in "Old Ingeanny." and so
they had another glass and let the matter
drop.
The estate will be settled up today, and
then the heirs will go to Niagara Falls for
short time.

"How early is 1t proper to give guns to
boys?"
"Under careful instruction, any time
after they are II years old boys can carry
light 16-gauge or 22-caiber guns, but it is
wrong to arm them with heavy rifles whose
balls carry long distance. OF course, any
boy should be taught to handle gun prop
erly."
The season is just beginning when militia
men are practicing rifle-Shooting at numbers
Of field ranges, and in few weeks the State
camps will be under way with sham battles
and field work of all sorts. Usually some
men get hurt during this mimic warfare. and
a CreedmOOr markSman, who has won lots
OF badges for ritie-ShOOtlnG, was next asked
II there was any way OF avoiding such &C
cidentS.
1.-The military rule" he said, sis always
to hold the piece with the muZzle elevated.
The men are so close together that If a man
were to carry his rife muzzle down, like a
hunter, he'd be plugging the legs of the man
ahead of him full OF lead. The safest mill
tary pose is the familiar one with the rifle
over the shoulder, muzzle slanting up. OF
course you know the four shooting POSITIONS,
standing at 100 yards, sitting or kneeling at
200, lying down at 800 to 600. Then in the
long-range matches they sometimes lie fiat
on their back with the gun resting upon
the legs. That's hardly military posture,
though. Now, when l won the marks
mans"
How would you get over fence with
gun?"
The marksman seemed little staggered
and didn't return a very satisfactory answer.
He seemed to think, however. that 1T would
be pretty good plan TO carry the gun over
fence precisely as il on parade. Imagine
a man going over high barbed wire fence
with his rifle in prime military posture.
Probably it would be good plan for q
militiaman to remember the rule OF not
pointing gun at anybody while struggling
with the barbs and uttering appropriate re-
marks.
It's the disregard Of this rule that accounts
for the accidents at sham fights. How blank
cartridges get mixed I'D with loaded ones is
haps the armorer is in too great hurry
and makes mistake, or perhaps one or two
OF the men happen to have loaded shells in
their pockets and put them in by mistake
In the excitement, which even sham fight
always causes. Then when the opposing
forces get at close quarters, and there Is
tremendous racket in the air, and guns are
going off at close range, and with deadly
aim, some one Is apt to get hurt. This hap
pens even with the blank cartridge some
times, the mere blaze and shock of the re-
port making ugly burns at close quarters.
Making 1t the inYariable rule to fire In the
air would obviate any possibility Of accident.
