How TO Treat FRozEN LIMBs.-The juices
OF the fieshy tissues, when frozen in their
minute cells, al once become in each of
these Enclosures crystals, having a large
number o: angles and sharp points, and
hence, rubbing the flesh causes them 10 cut
or tear their way through the tissues, so that
when il is Ihawed The structure of the mus
cles is more or less destroyed. The proper
mode of treatment is this: When any part
Of the body is frozen, it should be kept
perfectly quiet until it is thawed out, which
should be done as promptly as possible.
AS freezing takes place from the surface in
wardly, so The lhawing should be in the
reverse order, from the inside ouiwardly.
The ihawing out of portion of the feshes,
without, al the same time puitiGg The blood
from the heart into circulation through il,
produces modification bu, by keeping the
more external parts sill CONCEALED until the
internal heat and the external blood gradu-
ally soften the more interior parts, and pro-
duce circulation of the blood, as fast as the
Ihawing takes place, most OF the dangers
are obviaied. If the snow which is applied
is colder than the frozen flesh, it will fur
ther extract the heat, and freeze it worse
than before but il The snow is of the same
temperature, il will keep The flesh from
thawing until the rest OF, the body shall
have effected il, thus preventing gangrene.

ed, so as to keep iis temperature at thirty

An Applicable Extract.

Judge Marshal in his life OF Washington,
Second volume, gives EXPRESSION 10 senti-
ments, and states facts, that have direct
applicability 10 the present time. He says,
in speaking of the horrid massacre OF the
whites in St. Domingo, which took place in
1894, after emancipation had been decreed:
"Early and bitter fruits Of that malignant
philosophy which disregarding the actual
stste of the world and estimating at nothing
the miseres of vast portion of the human
race, can cody and deliberately pursue

RIGHT Men IN THE RIGHT PLAcEs.-The
Radicals are furious, because the people of
Mississippi do mol consider service in the
Confederate army personal disqualifica-
ton for service of any sort under the new
order of things. Indeed, the Southern citi-
zens, generally ,evince great inclination to
confide rather in those who risked all, than
in those who shirked all. Hence, they pre-
fer. men for Office who braveIy fought for a
principle, and then gracefully surrendered

that principle on the baltle-6eld-prefer

within interest, and whose vannled loyalty

Southern voters would, in most cases, soon

themselves from sharing common danger.

Farmers Sons.

The sons of farmers commonly think
their LOT a hard one. Unlike most city
youths, they are compelled TO perform dali
Iy toll. They cannot see and hear as much
as their city cousins. They do not dress
in as fine clothes; cannot treat and be
treated al the popular saloons, or visit the
costly gambling resorts which abound in
every city. Some OF them feel that their
LOT is indeed hard one, and their highest
ambition is 10 go TO tie city and see tall
the sights"
Blu, lei US talk 10 our farmers boys. You
are in The right place. You are learning
habits o! industry and frugality. By your
daily toll you are acquiring sound con-
stiution-a most important matter; and
this is one o. the reasons most of our great
men have come from farmers boys They
have grown up robust, with constitutions
that could endure grea, amount of mental
labor, which youths from the city with.weak
and feeble frames, could moi stand.
II you cannot see as much as city youths,
neither are you exposed to the vices and
temptations of city life, which prove the
destruction OF nearly all who are raised in
the crty.
You are on the right ttack-go ahead Re-
solve TO form no bad habits. Indulge in no
intoxicating drinks; if you form love for
them il is almost impossible TO subdne il.
Do not acquire the habit Of smoking or
chewing tobacco or taking snuff. Rsad
good books let no opportunity for i'm
provement pass away neglected, aud you
will grow up useful and iotelligeni men.

The Southern People.

Many Southern people seem 10 think that
their States cannot be relieved OF the inioer-
able expressions OF The Freedmens Bureau
ard martial law, and all the concomitant
evils OF their anomalous condition, unless
their representatives be admitted TO Con-
gress. While we admit that the presence in
Congress of ''ft" representatives for the
Southern States is greatly to be desired by
the people of those States, we cannot see
that there is any necessary connection be-
tween the continuance of Provisional Gov
ernments and the Freedmen's Bureau, and
the perpeluaton OF martial law, in the South
ern States on the one hand, and the admis
sion OF their representatives into Congress
on The other. The President can, al any day,
withdraw the garrisons which now disturb
the peace OF the South; he can blot out of
existence that most dangerous organization,
the Freedmen's Bureau; he can restore 10
the people OF the lately Coniederated States
all the blessings of constitutional freedom
aud civil law, excep. that one OF represen
ialioG in Congress. And he can do all This,
without consulting Congress al all. And
such being the case we cannot appreciate
the argument of those who maintain thar il
is the duty OF the Southern people 10 submit
to every wrong, and 20 sacrifice every con-
sliiulional right that they have, and 10 vol
UNFAIRLY humiIiate themselves and dishonor
those who have given up their lives IN de-
fense of Virginia, in order TO induce the
Radicals TO concede 10 their Representatives
that which they have constitutional right
to demand-admssion 10 their seats.

Practical Jokes Played by a Horse.

Though many curious tricks and mischiev-
Gus but harmless capers have been played
by horses within our knowledge, yet il is
hard TO give credit 10 the following anec-
dote from an English paper:
There was, some years ago, very fine
horse in the possession of Henry Meux & Co.,
the eminent brewers. Ii was used as dray
horse, but was so lrac:able that he was left
sometimes without restraint, 10 walk about
The yard and return to the stable, according
TO his fancy. In the yard, there were also
few pigs of peculiar breed, fed on grain
and corn, and to these pigs the horse had
evidently an insuperable objection. There
was a deep trough in the yard, holding
water for the horses, where this horse went
often, taking his mouth full OF corn. When
he reached the trough, he let the corn fall
near it on the ground, and when the young
swine approached il Qor The old ones kept
aloof) he would suddenly seize one of them
by The tail, pop him into the traugh, and
then caper about the yard, seeming deligh-
ted with the frolc. The noise of the pig
soon brought the men TO his assistance, who
knew from experience what was the matter
while the horss INDUCED in all sorts of an
tics TO show glee, and then returned quietly
to his stable.

An Irish Woman iu Kansas.


letter from Wyandotte relates remark
able instance of SUCCESS under difficulties as
follows:
''In 1860, an Irish woman-a widow
whose only means consisted ofiour hundred
dollar in money, some hal. dozen children,
took one hundred and sixty acres OF Govern
m ent land.
Since then she has increased this, by the
assistance of her children and now owns
l,20o acres, all paid for. This year she sold
her 5uler for $500 She has recently sold
the balance of her last years corn crop,
1900 bushels, for 50 so bushel, which is
50 loo. Last week she sold % head OF oxen
for SIS each, for 81 1850 So that the pro-
duce o. the farm, over and above keeping
The family, had been over Sc, ,oc0. She has
now on hand l60 head OF cattle of all sizes,
for % OF mhich she refused $50 each. She
has 20 firkins of butter in the cellar, which
averages 120 lbs. each and which she says
she will get rs cents per pound, by taking
il 10 some of the posts higher up. She has,
also, hogs ia abundance, end 65 acres of
growing corn, aud which will produce 80
bushels TO the acre"
Now this seams like exageration, but ii is
literally true.

GIANTS.

In the time of Augustus Caesar there were
two persons living in Rome called Idusio
and Secudila, zach of whom exceeded ten
feet in hight. Their bodies, after death,
were kept and preserved as miracles or Gu.
riosity in sepulchre within the Snllestain
gardens. Pliny names certain Gabara,
who in the days af Claudius was brought
out of Arabia; and says he was nine feet
nine inches high. The Emperor Maximin,
originally a Thracien peasant, measured
eight feet and half His wife's bracelets
served him as rings. His voracity was
such that he consumed forty pounds of
flesh daily, and drank Is bottles of win e.
His strength was proportionable to his
gigantic shape. He could draw a loaded
wagon without help, and with a blow of
his fist oftimes broke the teeth in a hoarses
mouth He also crushed the hardest stones
between bis fingers; and cleft trees with his
hands. PIiny also speaks of Polydemas, a
celebrated athlete, who exceede all men OF
his day in stature and in strength. In Mount
Olympus be killed lion with his fist, being
uDprovided with any other arms. He could
stop chariot with his hand in It's most
rapid course. Once he singled ou! the lar
gest and fiercest bull from herd-took hold
of him by one OF his hind feet, and notwih.
standing his struggles TO escape, held him
with such strength that his hoof remained
in his hand.

The HONEY MooN.-Why is the first
month after marriage called the "honey
moon 2" Doubtless on account of The sweet
lunacy which controls the heads of the par

couples who have quarrelled in the first

mother had fairly done weeping, (and re-

Their "honey moon" soured al the inll OF
her horn, and became a moon of vinegar,
instead. A bad omen thall There was
