Yes, indeed. And there are so many

When Babe Is Teething.

The time of the first dentition, which
lasts usually from the infants sixth
or eighth month to the sixteenth, is one
OF the critical periods of life, yet its
dangers have been greatly exaggerat-
ed. Formerly it was the custom to re-
fer every imaginable disease affecting
baby during the eruption of its teeth
to this process as the cause. Now
medical belief Is perhaps inclining too
far the other way, and some doctors
refuse to credit teething with produc-
inP an other than merely local trou-
bles.
The process Of cutting teeth Is un-
doubtedly a normal one and In healthy
infant is usually accomplished without
any great difficulty or disturbance, but
In puny and sickly children 1t is some
times laborious and the cause Of much
distress.
Among the many affections formerly
regarded as provoked by teething the
most common are diarrhea, cough and
commissions, but probably the last nam
ed is the only one caused directly by
this process.
When tooth comes through with
difficulty, the childs nervous system Is
worn upon by the local irritation, and
1t may become more and more irritable
until finally an explosion occurs, and
the child has commissions. This is,
however, a rare occurrence, and It is
probable that the nervous constitution
Of such children is already weak and
needs only some slight irritation, wheth.
er from the teeth, the stomach or the
skin, to become convulsively excited.
The diarrhea and the cough are no
doubt both due to indigestion caused
by nervous irritation.
Local disorders of teething are more
common. They consist for the most
part In inflammation Of the gums,
which are red, swollen and hot, and In
the drooling of ropy saliva.
In order to prevent Inflammation the
mouth should be kept perfectly clean,
being washed out often with a solution
Of borax or boric acid, Is or 20 grains
to the ounce. The baby's desire to bite
should be gratified by providing 1t with
hard rubber, ivory or silver object on
which to exercise it's jaws.
The general health should be careful
ly watched. Any tendency to diarrhea
or especially to constipation should be
corrected, and the child should be kept
In the air as much as possible. If the
nervous symptoms are threatening,
sedatives are needed, and it may be
necessary to lance the gums.
1t should be remembered that teeth
ing infant may have an illness quite in
dependent of the teething process, and
hence one should never neglect to call
doctor under the theory that it's trou-
bles are all due to the teething and con-
sequently are of little moment-Ex-

Mrs. Neve, Famous Traveller.

Mrs. Margaret Anne Neve is a re-
markable old lady living in London in
good health and the full possession of
years She was born in the island
of Guernsey on May 49, 1892. That
was the year in which George Wash
1ngton was elected to his second term
as president of the United States. In
that year civil rights in England were
given to the Catholics for the first
time since the reign of Henry VIII.
In that year was formed the first Eu-
ropean coalition against France, and in
that year England made certain Of her
Indian empire by the capture of Serin-
gapatam and the submission of Tip
poo Sahib. 1t was the year before
Louis XVI and Marie Antonette died
on the scaffold. Mrs. Neve's maiden
name was Harvey. Miss Harvey was
girl of 13 when the battle of Trafal-
gar was fought When the battle Of
Waterloo was fought, she was two
years past her majority. Her memo
ries OF that time are clear and definite.
She saw much of the exiled French
general Charles Francois Dumouriez.

many admirers Of her wit and beauty.
In Waterloo year she married Mr..
Neve. Kentish gentleman Of indie
pendent means, and went with him on
continental tour which included a
visit to the historic battlefield. She
picked up on the field Of Waterloo
what Is still one Of her most cherished
possessions, belt buckle worn by one
Of the imperial guard. When Marshal
Butcher went to England after Water
loo, Mrs. Neve was presented to him
and showed him the buckle.
Her wedding tour was the prelude to
a long series Of travels, and when after
% years of married life Mrs. Neve was
left widow, she continued her jour-

The Injured.
Andy Sheeier, engineer.
Frank ReheIneyer, engineer.
Both engineers were seriously but
not fatally hurt.
The accident was caused by an east
bound fast freight train running
through an open switch and down a
high embankment. The train was
running at frigftful speed down a.
steep grade and the open switch was
not discovered in time to stop the
heavy load which was drawn by the
two engines.
The engineers jumped and saved
their lives but the fiTemen were in the
gangway and were carried over the
ensbanknent with the two locomotives
and eleven loaded ears which were
buried deep in mud and water in the
creek below.
The two boy tramps were riding in
one of the first cars. Their bodies, with
tnat of Fireman Johnson were re-
covered but Banta was burned to a
crisp.
As a large number Of tramps were
known to be riding on the train il is
feared others were cremated as the
wreckage took fire shortly after the
accident.

Argument In Occur d'Alene Case TO
Be Brought to an End.
Washington, May S.-The argument for
the defense in the Occur d Alene investi-
cation was made today by John Cheney
representing the state of Idaho, and in
cidentally defending the course of the
United States military authorities. He
maintained that the course of Governor
Steunenberg in declaring martial law and
in appealing for federal aid was justi-
fable and in accordance with law.
AS to the stories of "bull-pen" Outrages,
Mr.. Cheney declared that they were
largely imaginative and designed to poi
son the mind of the public and divert at
tentiOn from the infamy of the blowing
up of the Bunker Hill mine. The latter
event he declared to be the consumma-
ton of a conspiracy among dynamiters
who for years had maintained a reign of
terror in the Occur d Alene district The
action of General Merriam throughout
the disturbance was strongly approved as
that of a high minded soldier seeking to
do his duty
At the conclusion of Mr.. Cheney's argu-
ment the committee decided to allow Mr.
Robertson, attorney for the prosecution
to have half an hour tomorrow afternoon
to reply to the points made today, after
which the long investigation Will be at
an end.
