ltcading in your journal an iticle
headed ''A Bus]hranger interviewed,"
says a writer in Chambers', recalls to imy
memory a strange incident which oc
curred sonme years ago to my owni 1brothl
or, when on his way from tydniey tt the
gold fiolds, and for the accuracy of
which I can vouch.
At the time of his arrival in Ausiralia
the country was ii a state of panie; a
reign of terror existed, caused l y tit
daring outrages Conunitted on parties on
the journey to and from the diggings.
Robbery with violence, escorts shot
down, and large consignmients of gold
carried oil; were of daily occurrence.
1'he bush was infested IV a gan) of des
p erate bushrang;ers. \ IUose Ii:0ler, undier
the cognomttent of 'Jack,'' :smiiied to het"ar
a charmed life. For ythrIi he haI evaded
all the eliorts made to captulr him,
though the military 1:d1 :coutred the
bush. No soonier Wits ant outrtage perpe
trated than all trace of the plerputrators
was lost, as if the grouid haid swallowed
them. lie had a perfket hnowledge of
the most secret mitoventemets of the par
ties Ie attacked. .1e seemed ubi<ptitoitus,
outrages occurring in such ralid sue
cession and so far apart. Such an air of
mystery hung about himii that a snper
stitious feeling luingled with the mlortal
terror he inslired. Hett was r'Isentel

young fellow, all fan and love of adth c1
cure, and he soon became a general
favorite. The ''track"-for there were
no roads at that time-ran for the great
er distance through the bru.slb, sotl
parts of which weCre so dense as :earceiy
to admit daylight. Every ::.a was well
armed. My brother had blt iit w it i
him a first class revolver, 1imureltel in
Londoni. This he kept with othe ir valn
ables carefully hidttln on his lers, his
other b,elongings 1 being stowit aw:V iri
one of the wagonis. WhIn 'they
bivouacked for the night, care was takt'
that it was an Openl :g>acc, where a goud
lookout could be kept, to msake sort
against a sudden surp rise. The wagoms
were placed in the iidlle, :entries
posted, and scouts placed so thati the
flight of a bird or the fall of a leai couk
not pass uintoticed. All were o the
ttui vive. For some days all weiln well,
nothing uniusual or alarmuing occurriig

It is a i ad fact that in spite of the
11lunb rless denitists and (d(octors, tooth
ache is very largely on the increase.
iThousands of teeth are extracted artnal
ly, which by a timely care might have
b)eCU preserved. Not o1e man in ten las
perfect teeth; hot one woman in twenty1
but sulli'rs from the niny bad efiects
arising from this evil. Unfortunately the
strong white teeth of our grandfathers
cannot be handed down to us as a good
ly herittge. The strength and durabili
ty of each individitl's teeth depcnd in a
Ia; ge measure on tie faithful, Persistent
ell'orts of the ni tlers towards tha6 end.
'eeling assured that no alpI)eals nmde in
b1 ehalf of the little oes H will bIn made iii
vaiil, I. wish now in as simple a manner
as possible to call the attention of inter
ested nothers to a few facts concerning
their chlildrel's teeth. A small amount
of knowledge and a vast amount of per- ,
severance on the mother's plart will save
the little ones much suffering.
In the first place, I will 1lpeak of the
time of formation. As early as the sev
enth week of fotal life, the formation of
the temporary teeth begins. 'I'he growth
is carried ('Ii through various stages, un
til at birth the twenty decidous or baby
teeth are all in an advanced condition,
and the germs of twenty-live of the per
imanent set are in a state of developnent.
It is therefore very necessary that all ex
pectanit mothers live on such diet as will
furnish a sullicient quantity of tooth and
bone forming material. As lime is one
primcipal element of tooth structure, it
is highly imllporttnt that it be furnished
in abiiulndiane. Nature, always ready to
supply her children's needs, is very gen
erous in her supply of this element, it
appearing in milk, eggs, vegetlles and
fruits, and inore especially in the various
grains. In the line white Ilour, ini sugar
and butter, which form the diet of so
nany delicate women, nut one particle
of lime appears. (iraiha ilour, oat
mal, cracked wheat and honey, abound
in tooth food. A mother should there
fore diet herself according to p>ractical
common sense rule, and not" according
to a catpricious appet ite, remlendmerinng
always that the health and coiufort of
another helpless human being is depend
ent solely on her faithfulness in per
forming nature's simple reliirement.
A diet of milk, eggs, lisli, oysters, mat,
with (iraham hour prepared in the ilany
delicious ways, should satisfy any noth1
er, while such food will double her own
strength, and prove of incalculalde hene
lit to the unborn child. Lime water is
very benelicial at such p eriodls; ta it
often relieves the indigestion and heart
Ibturn from w1hich so iany suler, at the
sane tinie refurnislhing the mutcl needed
lime-salts directly to the system. It can
be easily and cheaply made by putting a
teacup full of uns;acked lime iii a half
gallon of w\1ater, stir thoroughly, and
allow it to settle. When this secon'd
water lms become clear, pour it oll into
bottles, and it is ready for use. A table
spoonful in a glass of milk or water
cannot be detected by the taste, and it is
ve ry beneficial to prospective mothers.
Mothers should protect theltmselves from
all skin diseases, such a' Imallpox, scar
let fever and measles. )uring this
po riod they invariably render the teeth
of the child grooved or pitted, thins
lakinlg themL nore liable to decay. For
the sante reason children should be pro
tected from such diseases until after the
eruiition of their teeth.
W'hlen about live months old the child
begins to cut its teeth, as the phrase
goes. There is no absolute rule as to
the time. Usually the lower teeth lre
cede the upper of the same cls, anid
generally comle in pairs. Th'e (order' and
time of erupttion imay lbe seen from the
following table:
Two centralh incisors, No. 1, between 8
and 8 monlths.
TIwo lateral incisors, No. 2, bletween 7
and 10 m)nonthis.
'ITwo caines, No. :3, b.et~'wen 12 and
16 nionths.
First mnulars, No. 41, betwcon 14 and
20 mionthts.
Seconid maolar's, No. 5, bietween 20) and
316 months.
Th'le child is in poissession of all of its
temporary or baby teeth, twenty in
ntmaber, by the time it is three years
odd. I wish just here to im,press uponit
mothers the importiince of preserving
these biaby teeth until the piernmanent
ftceth appear. A child shiould never lie
allhowe d to suffer~i with tootiimehei. Such
muffering, in alniost evei'y 'istaince, maiiy
be di rectly tra'icedl to thei igno(ranee or'
negleet of the mnother. lin thl e first lhace,
strict cleanliness should be observed.
As sooni as thme little teeth appear' t hey
should bie washed daily, by wrapinlg ia
soft rag around t]ie linger, anid r'iubbiing
them very gently lil and dlowni. As sooni
ias pracitical e, usea itsoft canel's h air
tooth brush. 1imediately on the ap
peatrantce of tany decay ori spots, at denmtist
should be consulted and the child's teeth
should be placed in his care. Shiouhl
lie lie competent and faithful, not one of
the baby teeth wtould lie lost until they
fall out, whole and sounid, accordinig to
natutire's method, to make room fur the
larger pernmainent teethi. It is niot ai
dlentist'su whim nor mecre thleor'y tht
miany evils tare the direct result of prie
maturely extracting a child's teethi.
Without themta icihld catnnot prloperly
mtasticate its food, anid thlus inlatigest ion,
with its traini of diseomtfitinig evils, is the
result. if the nerve is ki lled, the tab
sorption of the root is arrested, and in
Ilammtatioti and gumbolails cause the cot..

low the 8tuIR Is Concocted and What Sone of
the Prolits Are.
(From the Phladelphia Times.)
A Times reporter yesterday penetrated
ho mysteries of a margory factory and
vhat he learned of the process is told
iere. The principal incrediont used in
ho manufacture of tho oil is boof's fat,
f the best quality, tho manufacturers
ay. The fat is bought by the load,
vheled into the wash-house in a hand
ar, dumped into tanks of ice-water,
thero it is allowed to 1:ak. It is then
Ired into a trough, through which it is
hot into a hasner, which grinds it into
marrow or pulp, which is forced into a
:ettle containing a steam jacket and.
louble bottom, through which hot water
s continually run. After the pulp has
>en melted and boiled in the kettle for
1number of hours it is run oil into
muother large kettlo, in which it is again.
)oiled, after which it is run off into a.
mller of small kettles, where it is sub
ected to another boiling and mixed with
;he chemicals used in the production of
he oil. After it has been thoroughly
ixed and boiled in the small kettles it,
s run off' into a large s<luare tub, whero
t is allowed to cool. It is then run.
hrouglh a cleaning machine, during
,hich process the sterine is pressed out
)f the oil. ''ho sterino comes out in
in cakes and closely resembles tallow.
It is sold by the oleomargarine manu
aeturers to lard manufacturers, who use
t to brace up their lard in warm weath
ir. After the sterine has been extracted
he oil is in proper shapo for salting. It
s then placed in a heating room, in
vhich the temperature is from 91) to 100
legrees, whore it is allowed to stand for
ivo days.
'O MAKE IT LOOK LIKE (InASH DUTrER,
Chemicals are used to heighten tho
right golden color of the oil, annatto
eing the principal chemical used for
hat purpose. After the oil has been
ubjected to the heating process it is
eady for the churn. The churn is run
>y steam and is a large tank with a
pigot at o1ne end, through which tho
leomargarine runs after it has been
utliciently churned. One hu i,Ired and
ixty qlarts of milk are used in each
hurn, which, when mixed with the oil,
will produce 1,500 pounds of butteriuc.
tfter the oil and milk have been
uiliciently churned it is run through tho
pigot into a large square tub, where it
ies in a liquid state until it is congealed
>y being mixed with cracked ice. It is
hen shoveled out of the tub on to a
ong table, against the wall, where it is
iberally salted and allowed to iie until
he salt is absorbed. it is then made up
ito poun1ds and stamped, wrapped in
.)vels and boxed up for sale. Tho
factory is k,pt quite clean, considering
the character of the work performed,
ond the process of manufacturing tho
liner grades of butterine is not particu
larly offensive, as comparatively good
material is used. But the mnuufacture
of tallow from the colnmoner fat is at
tended by a disagreeable odor, which is
sickening.
A MANUFACUn1EI's CLAIM.
The proprietor of the est4ibhshlment
says that oleomlargarine is a great deal
I etter an(d healthier than commnion buit
tr and that he uses it on his table alto
ether. Before it is thoroughly salted.
t lmas an oily, greasy taste, anl the sight
>f it piled 111)011 the tail bb0s, absorbing
vhatever particles of dust may he float
mug around, is not inspiring and im
1resses one strongly ii favor of the coml
non butter. According to the new law,
leomargarine manufacturers vill in tho
uture be compelled to pay a tax of two
