The Baby When Teething. 
Babies get their teeth at va.ied ages; 
the earliest I have personally known a 
baby to get teeth was at four months 
and one week, when this child had two, 
but got no others until the normal time 
for the next ones to appear, at seven 
months. The latest age I have seen was 
13 months; this child got an upper 
double tooth first. Most healthy babies 
cut a tooth or two during the sixth or 
seventh month of age; and if the child 
has none by the time the tenth month is 
reached, I would advise the mother to 
tell her physician, who will give her 
directions about proper foods for the 
child to furnish material for the teeth. 
Just before the teeth cut through the 
child is apt to be restless and fretful. 
Occasionally the swollen gums become 
so painful that the child, if a nervous 
one, has an attack of convulsions; the 
physician should be notified at once to 
call, and he may find it necessary to 
lance the gums. But before his arrival 
the mother should have hot water ready 
to put the baby in a bath at once if 
there is another convulsive seizure; 
there should be a half teaspoonful of 
mustard added to an amount of water 
that would equal a scrub-bucket full. 
The baby will usually chew on his 
finger or anything he can get to use, to 
ease the discomforts of the gums, and 
clean rubber or bone rings should be 
provided. The Educator cracker is hard 
baked, in the form of a ring, for this 
purpose, and the child sucks some nutri¬ 
ment from it as well. These are rather 
expensive, but the small, hard pretzels 
I have seen children over nine months 
of age chew on are cheap. One mother 
took a cupful of dough when ready for 
the loaves, kneaded it and cut it in 
strips the size of a string bean; when 
these were baked quite hard they were 
given the baby to chew on. 
Some babies at this time have an ab¬ 
normal flow of saliva from the mouth; 
bibs are then worn around the neck to 
help keep the baby dry, and the chin 
should be occasionally dried off to pre¬ 
vent its getting sore. The mouth should 
be washed daily for a child of the teeth¬ 
ing age, and oftener for younger babies, 
with boracic solution; this is made by 
taking the powder on a teaspoon, about 
what would cover a five-cent piece, and 
dissolve the powdered boracic acid in 
one-half cup of warm water that has 
been boiled and partly cooled; then 
add another half cup of boiled water 
and bottle or cover the solution. To 
use, wrap clean absorbent cotton or a 
piece of white cloth, around a finger, 
din it in a little of the solution that has 
been poured out into another dish, and 
clean every corner of the baby’s mouth 
without hard pressure; this will pre¬ 
vent “baby’s sore mouth,” a very painful 
disorder. 
If the baby’s bowel movements get 
too loose, or of a green color, give two 
teaspoonfuls of castor oil; this can have 
added to it an equal amount of glycer¬ 
ine, to make it more palatable. The 
action of the oil cleans and tends to 
heal the bowels, and frequently is the 
only remedy needed to reduce a slight 
fever. After this has worked through, 
if the bowels continue bad, or if the 
child vomits, do not give any oil, but 
get a remedy from the physician, with¬ 
out trying home treatments; delays are 
often dangerous in these cases. 
The first temporary, or milk teeth, 
should be kept very clean, for the roots 
of these are absorbed to help furnish 
material for the second, permanent set; 
upon the care and health of the first 
teeth depends much of the soundness 
and lasting qualities of the permanent 
ones. EDYTHE STODDARD SEYMOUR.

Bologna Sausage. 
Can you give recipe for making bologna 
sausage like that sold in the shops? Also 
for sweet pickles (cucumber) like you buy 
at the stores? E . e. w. 
Bologna Sausage. — Six pounds of 
lean beef; one pound salt pork; three 
pounds lean fresh pork; one pound beef 
suet; one ounce white pepper; one tea¬ 
spoonful ground mace; three ounces 
salt; one teaspoonful cayenne; one 
large onion chopped fine. Chop the 
meat and suet separately very fine, then 
mix; add all the seasoning, and mix 
thoroughly. Fill into casings and tie 
into lengths, or use strong linen bags. 
Make a brine that will bear an egg; 
put the sausage into it, and let stand 
two weeks, turning and skimming every 
day. At the end of the first week throw 
away the old brine, and put the sausage 
into new for the second week; then 
smoke for a week. When smoked rul} 
over the outside with olive oil, and 
store in a cool, dark, dry place. If you 
wish to keep the sausage for any length 
of time sprinkle the outside with pepper. 
Summer Sausage.—Use any recipe you 
like best, but use cloth casings, made 
from muslin, casings to have a diameter 
of three to four inches, and length to 
fit a baking pan. Casings are easily 
made with sewing machine. Smoke the 
finished sausage to your heart’s content. 
After smoking sausage let dry sufficiently, 
which takes four or five weeks, depend¬ 
ing on where hung to dry. The sausage 
should be fit for eating, which can read¬ 
ily be ascertained by cutting one 
through. When dry enough melt a quan¬ 
tity of paraffin—about one-half pound 
for a dozen sausages—put in baking 
pan, then place the sausages therein and 
roll about in the hot paraffin, one at a 
time. Hang up in a dry place and they 
will keep nicely and indefinitely. 
Recipes for sweet pickles will be 
found on ^age 774, issue of July 22 last.
