Bad Roads.

Congressman Longworth, at hi:
bachelor dinner, told a story abou
mud.
An American in Liverpool

with an Englishnan.
The Englishman complained Of
the mud in America. He told a
number of tall stories about the
execrable roads of America, and
the scrapes they had gotten him
into, both walking and driving.
AT the end of particularly
tall story of this kind, the Amer
lean said:
Yes, we have lot of mud in
America. l admit it. 1t is nothing
to the mud over here, though.
" Nonsense, said the English
man.

SPEAKING of the recent earth
quake which created such havoc at
San Francisco, Prof j. F. Kemp
of the chair of geology of Columbia
University, says the earthquake in
Sar Francisco was not to be reckon
ed as among the unexpected things.
San Francisco, he said, is on
a marked ridge of rock which is of
comparatively recent origin. 1t is
partly volcanic aud partly of met
amorphosed rocks. Extinct volca-
noes exist in that region, as for
instance across the bay at Berkeley.
That this lOng ridge is of recent
ongip is shown by the fact that it
dips steeply into the sea, and that
back in the interior may be seen
the old beaches, some of which are
even on the tops of mountains.

MRS. A. B. NICKELS.
Awarded a Great Distinction by a St.
ST. Louis Newspaper.

The following item was taken
from the Republic of St. Louis,
Mo. OF April IA:
Cactus, the plant distinctive of
Southwest Texas and Mexico, has
been the study of a woman who is
surrounded in her home on the Rio
Grande by the most weird and
forbidding garden of prickly things
that can be imagined.
Mrs. Anna B. Nickels, of La
redo, is the recognized authority
on cactus growths and has made a
list of more than 1000 distinct
varieties of the growth.
Mrs. Nickel is visited every
winter by scientists and tourists
and curiosity seekers who are in
terested in her cactus collection.
She has devoted long life to
study of the growths of the mesas
and mountains and is still en-
thusiastic in her work. She has
gone on foot over nearly every
of consequence in North
ern Mexico and has examined the
plants grown on many of the
peaks further south.
Mrs. Nickels is not a botanist
and has not studied that subject at
all, but she knows all about cactus
because when she came to Texas
girl she began the collection and
classification of the plants until
she discovered every variety and
won for herself the name, Mother
Of the Cacti. -
In her explorations in Mexico
and America Mrs. Nickels has met

i ploded theory according to the head
ieSS,SSl physician of child's hospital, who de-
IssSESy clares that there is more reason
wbv healthy young child should be
sick when teething than at any other time.
"It has always been subject of curious inter
est to why the majority OF mothers ana 9tner
persons, too, should think that baby must have
all sorts of ailments when getting its first TOOTH
he said. aside from being irritable, having
slight rise in temperature at morning or nght'
occasional disorders with the stomach and the
desire to be constantly chewing on something,
normal child in good condition should be free
from illness while cutting its teeth. The ailments
in nine cases out of ten attributed to teethlng
are caused from some other source, and for that
reason a little who appears to be weak and
really indisposed should be placed under the care
of physician for treatment.
"There is no exact period at which teeth begin
to show. Some babies have them sooner than
others, but if none has appeared at the end of
six months I would advise mother to consult a
doctor, for by that time the normal infant should
/, have had several. The easiest and most natural
way for them to come is in pairs, though have
known many youngsters to get four at time.
| Zone of the first signs of coming teeth is the
way the infants try to rub their gums red, often
swollen appearances of the latter They will
chew anything from a piece of rubber to
meat bone, if allowed and almost devour their
own fists when there is nothing else to press
against the gums to stop their itching
"Most mothers and many physicians recon-
mend giving pieces of ivory, rubber rings, metal
tubes too large to swallow, bits of bone, etc., to
chew on, but 1 would not advise any of these,
| if for no other reason, because / think they are
not sanitary, and / know of nothing worse for
baby than to have something unclean in its
mouth during teething time. If any of these
things are given to the little l would urge
that they be sterilized each time before being
given to the youngsters, to make sure that they
tare free from impurities.
"The only thing that would suggest doing is
to keep the baby's mouth clean, and unless there
is an inflammation in the gums, nature provides
amply for this. If necessary, however, the mouth
should be swabbed out with soft pieces of cotton
and lukewarm water when the gums are swollen.
And once a day, perhaps in the morning, it
would be a good thing to gently massage the
gums By that 1 mean rub them slowly from
right to left directly over the spot where the
tiny white teeth will come through. Five minutes
OF this should be long enough, or the skin may
become irritated."
