On Use of Che Tooth Brush.
BY DIR. F.. X. STEVENS.

1t is almost a vain hope to be-
lieve that dental decay can be ar
rested by the use of the tooth
brush, antiseptic washes, tooth
powders, dental floss, or other
measures of the kind. These may
assist, but will never cure the
trouble. There is a vast differ
ence between cleaning the teeth,
and securing them. Some peo.
pie will use the brush and pow
der three and four times a day !;
others will use it probably once a
week-say, Sunday. Here you
have the two extremes. Once q
day is often enough to use the
brush, and the time to use it is
just before retiring then use it
Systematically. Don't go at your
teeth as if they were so much sill.
verware that needed securing.
Let us take, for example, the su-
perior teeth beginning at the cen
tral incisors (median line). Aft
ter the brush has been held in
warm water for some time to
make the bristles more flexible,
(you must not use a hard, harsh
brush) place the brush at the
gum liue of the incisors, and ro-
tate it downward to the cutting
edge of the teeth, taking each
tooth in succession right and left.
The inferior 0ower) teeth the
brush rotates upward to the cut
ting edge, beginning at the cen
tral iucisors, thus forcing the
bristles into the interstitial spaces
and carrying away any foreign
substance that may be found
there. Complete the operation
by using dental floss between
each and every tooth, drawing the
thread back aud forth until moth
ing remains in the spaces be-
tween the teeth.
Don't run your brush parallel
with the cutting edge of the teeth !;
for by so doing, you interfere Sc
riously with the gum attachment,
causing bleeding and recession of
the gums. Taking a mouthful of
water after each meal and forcing
it back and forth between the
teeth is an exceedingly good prac-
tice.

Pigeon Shoot.

A number of the members of
our gun club, with some of their
sporting friends, became tired of
shooting clay pigeons, and last
Saturday morning procured from
Amos Seville and Andy Washa-
baugh fifty eight live birds, and
went down in Wilson's meadow
for some sport
A live pigeon is put in wire
cage, or trap as tits called, t. which
a long string is attached. The
sportsman stands thirty yards
distant from the trap with gun in
hand and at a signal the string is
pulled, the cage flies open, the
pigeon finding himself liberated,
starts to fly away, and when three
feet in the air away from the
cage, the marksman may shoot.
Prothonotary Lynch shot at II
birds and killed s, ,Superintend-
ent Barton at Is and killed 13,
Clarence Sipes at 8 and killed z /;

Last Sunday afternoon Andrew
Washabaugh just below town lost
a nice 200-pound hog.
About three weeks ago a
strange dog appeared at Mr..
Washabaugh's and bit this hog,
and also Mr.. Washabaugh's dog.
The strange dog then bit James
Woodal's dog, and went on to
George Walkers and bit Georges
dog, and then passed on down
the Cove looking for additional
victims.
Nothing was thought of this oc-
curence at that time further than
that the strange dog had taken a
day off and had gone out for a
time"
Last Saturday morning when
Mr.. Washabaugh went to the pen
to feed the hog he noticed that it
acted in q peculiar manner. Go
ing back an hour later to investi-
gate, the hog was charging around
through the pen, swapping, bit
ing and frothing-its eyes as red
as fire-and showing unmistak-
able symptoms of rabies in the
worst form.
Mr.. Washabaugh promptly kill
ed his dog, and the dogs belong
ing to the others men toned were
at once secured, and every pre-
caution is now being taken that
no further mischief shall come.

NORTH DAKOTA.
Letter From Mrs. Rebecca Lake.

Letter From Mrs. Rebecca Lake.
Nothing pleases or interests
me more than to read our old home
paper, or rather, the paper from
our old home. In it's columns |
see names and items which bring
back memories of old time friends
and places, causing me to pause
in the busy rounds of life long
enough TO think of the many
changes which have come to pass
since / was a girl roaming over
those Pennsylvania hills after
nuts and berries; or, perchance,
driving my fathers s COWS to past
ure. These days | hunt neither
nuts nor berries; but sometimes
take my Pinto pony and drive
home the cows. Not long ago, l
had a visit from one of my Fulton
county friends-Mrs.. Mart Nor
ton. Mr.. Morton's family came
to Dakota at the same time [ did
and she drovea hundred and TWEEN.
ty miles to visit us, and to see this
portion of North Dakota. We
talked of all you Pennsylvania
friends, and wished you could see
the magnificent fields of grain
and grass that are growing on ev.
cry side, promising an abundant
harvest. Her surprise was the
numerous elevators and barns
although the dwelling houses are
small compared with those in the
eastern states. There are some
handsome groves scattered over
the prairie, but they have all been
planted, as there is no natural
timber worth speaking of. We
have quite fine one close to our
house; also plums, currants and
raspberries. Vegetables do well.
Mrs. Morton remarked she had
seen more provender for man and
beast during her drive across the
country than she had seen in all
her lifetime before. We talked
of how nice these great fields of
waving grain would look to any
one who visited Dakota for the
first time under the impression
that nothing green was seen here,
but Coyotes and Russian Thristle
and if the Editor, John Bard, Rev.
Absalom Mellott and Peter Nor
ton-or any one else, don't trust
my word for this, just come and
look the land over, as hundreds
of others are doing from every
state in the Union, and from for
eign lands too. All the govern
ment land has been taken; and
is rising in value. and is now sell
ing for twenty five dollars an
acre. I send love and good wishes
to all friends in the dear home
land.
