“‘H EALTH \‘xN Teething and its Perils The period of dentition is nearly always our: of anxxety to the parent. It certainly is not always Ivitiiout peril to the infant. The age of infancy is characterized by changes which are not only numerous, but in many instances, at least, too rapid for the constitution of the little one. The various organs are in a state of growth and development, in a circumstance which susceptibility of infants to disease. But more than all, the brain, and in fact, the whole nervous system, is influenced l y a multitude of impressions from without and within, which, in the child’s unde- veloped state, are often overpowering More especially is this the case when the sensztinrness is heightened by the irritation caused by the procees of teething. Under these circumstances the child be- comes peevish and restless upon the slight- est provocation. The general feverishness of the body, be it ever so slight, decreases proportionately its ability to withstand external influences. The intestinal canal, upon which nature relies chiefly at this period ofactive growth, iceumes torpid, and the bowels are con- itxpateil. We can do much toward relieving the child from the besetting danger of this period, however, by taking a hint frun nature and maintaining a salutary looaene‘ss of the bowels, which will act as a waste- gate, protecting the nervous centres and the Various important organs of the body from harm. This, together with frequent washings of the mouth with cold water, is suilicient to ward oil many an attacs of serious illness the general irritation excited by the process oi teething. IVs should never endeavor to hasten matters by incising the gums. This is an expedient which should be resorted to by physicians only. Cheese a Carrier of Disease. Not only is cheese liable to be poisonous by the development of tyrotoxicon, but it may prove to he a. carrier of disease germs. Dr. Beebe, Assistant Chemist of the Iloard of Health in New York City, recently found the true bacillus of diphtheria in a lot of suspected cheese, and as the result of this discovery a large quantity of cheese was seized and destroyed. Itis said that there were several fatal cases of diphtheria in the family ofafarmer who supplied much of the milk from which the cheese was made, and the germs con- , veyed by the milk from this infected house ; lived through the process of cheese-making, l and communicated the disease to several . who ate the cheese. 1 It has been known for a long time that milk was an excellent medium for the growth of bacteria,and tlierefore,of course. for the taking up of any infection and the spread of the same. No doubt many serious illnesses or diseases have been caused in this way, though traced suppos- ' edly to other sources. ' The day is soon coming when no one will think of using milk without ï¬rst pasteuriz- ing or sterilizing it. Dirt and Health. , The old saying that dirt is healthful no longer holds its grounds in the light of research. Not all dirt is actually : disease producing, it is true; biit all places . where filth accumulates or where there is decaying matter of any kind are very likely to afford abode and sustenance to any disease germs which may be floating about in the air. Here they multiply and wax strong and lie in wait to’ attack the first animal or human being that comes along, whose vital forces are not strong enough to bar the entrance of these microacopic i ene- mies. No soiled clothing should lie about sleeping apartments, no rubbish should- accumulate in the attic, no rotten rsgs‘ under the sink, no decaying vegetables in I the cellar, no soiling matter or dust any- where. Disease microbes do not crawl about activelylikc files; they are invisible, living, organic dust. and can often be got- ten rid of as such. The greatest sanitary : safety lies in absolute cleanliness. modern BRITAIN IN EGYPT. “To Mnl-ronlenls Were Surprised ii! the. Splendid Array of .“Cll‘of-fl'ar, 5 The hiin opinion expressed of the actual ’ oilicioncy of the British navy by those who i have been contrasting that efficiency with the lamentable. inefficiency of the army found striking corroboration not long SlIlCt’. in the splendid array of inen-of-war its-4 scinblcd, under command of Sir Michael 'lnlnie Seymour at Alexandria. The up- pcal‘nucu of the fleet was, it is said, a sur- . prise to the nial-contcnts and those who encouraged them in their abuse of Eng- land. It was an object lesson mast c0n-' viiisirig of the strength of the power that L has been occupying Egypt for It; own good i by a handful of civilians and an extremely ‘ email force of soldlcrs. Since. the accession E of the present Khedivc, the enemies 01" England have been incessantly busy inl decrying Great Britain's policy and, i i order to inspire contempt for her military , power, have constantly urged the weak-l nose of the garrison. The arrival of Siri Michael L‘ulme Seymonr's fleet gave the! lie very impressively and practically to those representations. Eastern nations are likely to disdain authority that is not backed by force, and, though one would suppose that the fate of Arabi Pasha wu nor forgotten, the repeated disasters in the Spudan and the apparent ineibciency of the army of oxupation to cope with a formidable rising, were used not fruitlesst as arguments to incite the diutYscted to overt acorn of England’s power.

The records show that, as an ordinary thing, the ocean packets are almost as re- gular in their departures and arrivals as railroad trains, and, considering the distance they travel, more so. The science of navigation has been reduced to such accuracy that they may be expected almost on the hour. Take, for example, the Campania, of the Cunard line. In 1833 she made eight; trips, and her average voyage was 5 days, 20 hours and 18 minutes. 1111 1894 she made iten trips, and her average was 5 days 20 hours and 17 minutes, only one minute'less in 1894 than in 1893 in a voyage of 2,770 miles in all sorts of wind and weather. Nor is this exceptional. The Teutonic, of the White Star Line, made twelve trips in 1893 on an average time of 6 days, 4 hours and 8 minutes. In 1894 she made eleven trips, and her average was just a trifle slowerâ€"6 days, 4 hours and 17 minutes. The Etruria is a little more irregular. Her average in 1893 was 6 days, 6 hours and 47 minutes. In 1894 it was 6 days, 7 hours and ‘28 minutes. Havens AVERAGE. The Havel, of the North German Lloyd "Company, made ten trips in lelb‘, with an average of 7 days, 7 hours and 38 minutes, for a distance of 3,Qt~‘0 miles. from the Nee- dles to Fire Island. In 1894 she made nine trips, with an average of 7 days, 7 hours and 24 minutes. The Fuerst Bismarck, of the Hamburg line, made nine trips in 1393. _ Her average for the year fora voyage of 3,080 miles was 7 days and If) minutes. In 1894 she made , six trips, and her average Was 7 days and 54 minutes. . _ . The Columbia made nine trips in 1893, with an average time of 6 days, 2'2 hours and 12 minutes. In 1894 she made six trips, with an average of 6 days, 22 hours and eight minutes. BEST Fun ltHC-I'LARI'I‘Y. The New York, tbongli not the fastest, has the lust record for regularity of any of the Atlantic fleet. Ilur average time has not varied for years and she can be expectâ€" cd almost on the minute every voyage. She has crosse: the Atlantic more times and has carried more passengers than any other steamer of her age and has be.n more regular about it. The New York made fourtren trips, West bound, in 1393, with an average time of 6 days, ‘21 hours and 31 nzzztutes. In ISM she made ï¬fteen trips, W th an average of 6 days 21 hours and 45 minutes. Her stilling distance was 2.770 miles. In 1393 she made thirteen trips, east bound, with an average of 6 days, ‘20 hours and 30 than her westbound~time that year. In Is!“ she made fifteen trips,wuh an average v time of 6 days, '20 hours and ‘24 minutes. Thus in creasing the ocean ï¬fty-seven times in both directions, at all seasons of the year, her widest variation for two years was only 1 hour and 21 minutes. The old City of Chester is another steady bout, her-average being 9 days, 15 hours and II minutes in lSQ3,and 9 day-,15 hours and ‘28 minutes in 1894. __.â€"â€"..â€"_â€"â€"â€"_. A Lover's Eyes.

[he I borne. sharp yelp ofa baby lion. upon an antelope sleeping hollow just beyond. A moment later I should have been out there myself, and if the little fellow had waited he might have found me right in range. Instantly there were two more yelps like the ï¬rst, two more dusky shadows bounded from the undergrOWLh, and two more antelopes were detained. Iclinibed the nearest tree and made myself at home, Well up among its branches, looking down upon the open. I was hardly there when the very air was split by a crashing roar. It shook the forest, and I gave a most cordial clutch to I the branch above me. Evidently the whelps ' old gentleman, or some other old gentleman, proposed to help himself, and with a series of squeaking cries the young folks decomp- ed, giving him the ï¬eld. The roar was the signal for the forest to wake up. It was echoed from right and left, and, thanking fortune for so favorable a retreat, I made up my mind to stay there till the hour before sunrise. - I was not tired enough to sleep well in a tree at the start, but at last I managed to oversleep, and was roused, not by the roar of a lion, but by the rattle of a native war- drum. There was a hum of voices, too, and the sound of many feet. A dozen or more native warriors were already in the open space, preparing for breakfast. 'lhe drum- mers were soon in sight, and the main body followed close behind. Soon the open space was thronged with them. There was more than ï¬ve hundred. They were all warriors. Some of them were well armed. are usually boisterous. These were so still that in the tree I could not catch a single syllable, though the nearest were but a little more than fifty feet away. - If I waited till they moved on I should be behind themâ€"a posit-ion which might prove decidedly disagreeable. They were evidently impressed with the gravity of their mission, which, Without doubt, was an attack upon the new fort; and, 'if I could get ahead of them and warn the central of their coming. it would not only hea much more comfortable position, but would prove a good feather for my cap. Their preparations for breakfast, too, made me ravenonsly hungry, and that settled it. made my way to a large branch extending back into the jungle and crept out farther and farther till it began to bend. If it broke I was gone ; but it did not. break. Then I left myself out hand over hand, till my feet were not miicb above a yard from the spongy ground. Then I dropped. The branch swung up again with unnecessary neise, but I did not wait to see what eï¬eot it bad. It was a question of life and death, and I increased the distance without delay. Faint with hunger, almost ready to drop in the path and die of thirst, thoroughly worn out by a steady racehorse pull of two hours and a half over that soggy, mossy ground, I came in sight of the new fort. Strange how still that place was. There was not a challenge or a greeting as I climbed. I was too much exhausted to shcut and rouse some one. I was in too much haste to look for an entrance, and, climbing directly over the wall by the cannon, came sliding down the other sid~ fair against a bronzed old English gunner' who was sitting there sound asleep. He was the only mortal in sight. “ For mercy’s sake,- where are the rest of you 3" astonishment. He stood up, rubbed his eyes, down the path, and replied ; “ Hif y come from the left wing, sir, hi’d better back where is the rest of you!" He was as much bewildered as I. By degrees we got our senses into shape for a comparison of facts. He had been ordered to remain with the gun and told to expect the left- at any moment, as they had been signalled the night before, that the central would move on at daylight to a point where the natives were massing, a day’s march beyond, and that the left was to hold the position till the central returned. He had written orders in his pocket for the major. It was only a little confusion somewhere in the signal service. " Too much brevtty and a double construction,†it was pro- uounce'l upon oï¬iclal investigation. The immediate result, however. was that the old gunner and myself were there alone, with at least ï¬ve hundred savage warriors not an hour’s march away, and all the camp luggage and ammunition left for us to guard.

Vl’alking on the pier with a friend, she heard the cry of three persons whose boat had been capsized near the pier. Runningdown the steps, she sprang into the water and soon brought the one nearest, a woman, safely to the steps. Then she swam off again to the others, a man and a girl. Waiting her opportunity, she managed to seize them both, and supported them until a rope was thrown to her, and she was then able to get the man to the pier. The girl was going down for the third time, when Miss Evans dived, brought her up to the surface and took her also to the pier, thus saving three lives. It is difficult to know which is the most rem: rkableâ€"thc courage dis- played, or the skill with which, hampered by her clothes, she succeeded in avoiding the drowning grip that is so often fatal to those who attempt rescues, and so brought the three persons,one after another in safely to the pier. It is a feat of which the bent male swimmer, unhampered by garments, would have every right to feel most proud, and, executed as it was by a young lady, was almost, if not quite, without precedent in the annals of deeds requiring presence of mind, skill and courage. Itis indeed extras ordinary that a swimmer, however strong, should be able to support at once two drowning persons and to avoid being caught in the grip of one or the other of them.
