An Ancient Easter Custom.

An ancient custom once universal in
England on Easter Monday and Tues
day is that known as heaving. lifting
or raising. On the Monday, the mems
heaving day, women were raised three
times in a chair, after which they were
kissed and liberated. On Tuesday the
women lifted the men in the same man
ner, but it was usual for the men to
give q small sum of money for "leave
and license" to depart. In early times
the practice prevailed among all ranks
and in a roll of the reign Of Edward L
is a record of payment to certain ladies
and maids of honor for lifting that KING
in his bed ut Easter. The usage com

TEE1HlNG.


This is time usually much dreaded
by mothers, and the period of dentition
is really the time of the greatest mortal.
ity among children.
At the period of teething important
changes are taking place in the body
the stomach and digestive organs es
pecially, and these exercise their share
in producing constitutional disturbances
As rule baby begins to cut its
teeth at seven months, but children vary
in this as in all other functions of the
body, so that the safer way is to watch
carefully for the first symptoms.
At the very commencement there is an
increased amount of saliva, which keeps
the mouth moist and cool; and here we
give a useful hint.
Cut out in good stout flannel bib OF
the ordinary shape, but half an inch
smaller, so that it may be covered by
the more ornamental outer one. Then
cut out piece of oil silk the same size
as the flannel; bind both together with
narrow white ribbon, and tie round the
baby's neck with the flannel next the
child. By this means all risk of cold is
avoided.
Later on, the mouth becomes hot and
dry, and other arrangements are likely
to follow. The child becomes fretful
and feverish, and constipation or diar.
rhea ensues; the latter if not severe is
beneficial, but if protracted may become
a source of danger. Either one or both
cheeks become red, and an eruption
sometimes appears. Thirst and loss OF
appetite are also evidences of painful
dentition, and the child sleeps badly,
| frequently means in its sleep.
The child should be especially guarded
against exposure to damp or cold, in
digestion, or any other disturbance OF
the system which, by lowering the gen.
eral health, lowers the child's resisting
power, and may convert course OF easy
teething into one of pain and danger.
As rule, the irritation increases with
the number of teeth being cut stimuli
taneously, but a single tooth in one case
may cause more disturbance than half
dozen in another.
The first, or temporary set of teeth, is
usually cut in pairs:
/. The lower front incisors.
2. The upper front incisors.
3. The two upper lateral incisors.
4. The two lower laterals, though
occasionally double tooth is cut before
them.
5. The first grinders in the lower
jaw.
9. The first grinders in the upper
jaw.
Z. The lower pointed or canine
teeth.
s. The upper pointed eye teeth.
9. The second lower grinders.
10. The second upper grinders.
These last seldom appear before a
child is two years old. From the time
the first tooth is cut two years gener-
ally elapse before the first set is COM
plete. There are twenty teeth in the
first set; at two years old child usually
has sixteen.
It is bad plan to give child coral or
ivory to bite when teething, as it hard
ems the gums and causes the teeth to
come through with greater difficulty.
India rubber rings are always the best,
as they are yielding and increase the
flow Of saliva, which relieves the in
famed gums.-McCall's Magazine.

BETTER THE END OF A THING"
The flood subsidized quickly, almost
as quickly as it had risen, and I
made my way down the canyon in
the track of it, nerveless and horror
shaken. The sun was shining as
brightly as before, and the Sabbath
stiffness was in the air. It seemed
uncomfortable that, but few mo-
ments before, the great ravine had
been the scene of tragedy in which
three lives had gone out like match
flares in a tornado. In the basin be-
tween the mountain and the hog
back, fumes, bitches and trail had
disappeared, and the very face of
nature was changed. Where Mac
pherson's placer bar had been there
