why DO Animals Need Salt

why DO Animals Need Salt!
Prof. ]. E. Johnston, Of Scotland,
says:
Upwards Of half the saline matter
of blood t57 per cent consists of COM
mon salt, and this is partly discharg-
ed through the skin and kidneys;
the necessity Of continued supplies
of it to the healthy body becomes
sufficiently obvious. The bile also
contains soda tone of the ingredients
Of SALT as special and indispensable
constituent; and SO do all the cartil-
ages of the body. Stint the supply
of salt, therefore, and neither will
the bile be able properly to assist
digestion, nor the cartilages be built
up again as fast as they naturally
waste. 1t is better to place salt where
stock can have free access to 1t than
to give it occasionally in large guam
titles. They will help themselves to
what they need, if allowed to do so
at pleasure; otherwise, when they
become "salt-hungry" they may
take more than is wholesome.

The indianapolis Mirror takes of
the women's rights women about the
subject of expensive and long-tailed
dresses, in the following pointed and
racy manner:
The champions Of Women's Rights
are beginning to distinguish them
selves as much by an elaborate dis
play of costly toilettes as by vehe-
ment assertions Of female "individ.
uality." Miss Olive Logan envelopes
her volup,uoYs beauties in "heavy
black velvet, heavy black silk over
skirt and panier, and gold orna-
ments," developes an enormity OF
chignon that would drives Fiji Is
lander mad with envy. She puts the
allurements of Partisan taste, and OF
constant access" as she constantly
assures us, "to the society of the I'm.
perial Court" into the service Of hel
sex, and elevates them from mere in.
dulgences into noble auXiliaries of q
sacred work.
Miss Anna Dickinson, it is said
brings back to the Atlantic slope q
reminiscence of the vast spread OF
territory over which she has passed
in trailing skirt as long as com
cts tail in perihelion.
The New York Tribune thus notices
some others Of the champions:
Mrs. Pauline Davis, in the Hart.
ford Convention, was radiant in an
overwhelming confusion of blue sat
in, black velvet and white hair" and
Mrs. III. b. Stanton in black velvet
solely. The latter lady, at the New
port Convention last summer, dis
coursed upon the vanity Of dress,
while arrayed in brilliant Roman
scarf tied over the left shoulder and
under the right arm.

ANOTHER ITEM.
Again, the city publisher issues
from ten to one hundred thousand
copies Of his paper weekly, while
the country publisher counts his sub
scribers at between one and two
thousand only, his sheet being con-
sidered as in very flourishing con-
dition if its circulation comes within
five hundred of the latter figures.
Ten cents profit on each yearly SUBJ
scriber gives the city publisher a
handsome income, while the same
profit on the country publishers list
would not pay his rent. The coun-
try publisher is paid just when it is
most convenient for the subscriber,
and in altogether too frequent in
stances it never happens to be con-
venient; the city publisher receives
his pay in advance, has no bad debts,
and has his money to work on dur
ing the whole year. His advertising
counts him from one to two dollars
per line; the country publisher is
considered very hard in the mouth
if he charges two dollars for 20-line
tvendue. We might go on and fill a
column with comparisons of SINH
lar character, but it is useless.
BE FAIR ABOUT 1T.
We only ask our friends, when
they hear their neighbors who Dor
row their Record complaining about
its costing so much, and Boosting
that they can get city paper SO
much cheaper, to just set them to
thinking on the facts above stated.
Also ask them, when they want a
marriage or death notice published,
why they don't send it to their city
paper; turn about is fair play, you
know, and it's poor rule that won't
work both ways. We don't offer
heavy premiums for new subscribers;
we can't afford to do so. In order to
give our readers paper worthy OF
their support, we must refrain from
throwing money away in that shape,
our subscription price beingas low as
can be afforded. We want all the
new subscribers Ne can get, and will
feel duly thankful to our friends fol
any efforts in our behalf which they
may see fit to make; but we find il
impossible to give them all gold
watches, sewing machines or shot
guns for their services.

A Puzzle.


Here is question for young arith-

crack an arithmetical nut now and
then: i
Two Arabs sat down tOdinner, and
were accosted by stranger, who re-
quested to join them, saying that he
"could not get provisions in that
part Of the country; If they would
admit him to eat only an equal share
with themselves, he would willingly
pay them for the whole" The fru-
gal meal consisted Of eight loaves Of
bread. five Of which belonged to one
OF the Arabs, and three to the other.
The stranger, having eaten third
part Of the eight .loaves, arose and
laid before them eight pieces Of coin,
saying: "nfy friends, there Il what 7

He wanted my name, and I gave
it to him. Then left him standing
by the counter, SO happy that al
most envied him. Many years had
passed before / saw him again.
Last year I went to Europe, on one
of the finest vessels that ever plowed
the waters Of the Atlantic. We had
beautiful weather until near the end
of our voyage; then came terrible
storm, which would have sunk all on
board had it not been for the Captain.
Every spar was laid low, the rud-
der was rendered almost useless, and
a great leak was discovered, threat
ening to fill the ship. The crew were
all strong, willing men, and the
mates were practical seamen Of the
first class; but after pumping for one
whole night, and finding the water
still gaining upon them, they gave
up in despair, and prepared to take
to the boats, though they might have
known that no small boat could ride
in such sea.
The Captain, who had been below
with his charts, now came up. He
saw how matters stood; and with a
voice that was heard distinctly above
the roar of the tempest, he ordered
every man back to his post.
1t was surprising to see those men
bow before the strong will of their
, Captain, and hurry back to their
places at the pumps.
The captain then started below, to
examine the leak. AS he passed me
I asked if there was any hope. He
looked at me, then at the other pass
engers, who had crowded up to hear
the reply, and said, rebukingly:
eyes, sir; there is hope as long rs
one inch of deck remains above wa
ter. When l see none of it, shall
abandon the vessel, and not before;
nor shall one of my crew, sir. Ev-
erything possible shall be done to
save it; then if we fail it will not be
from inaction. Bear a hand, every
one of you, at the pumps"
Thrice during that day did we de-
spair; but the Captains dauntless
courage, perseverance and powerful
will, mastered every mind on board,
and we each time went to the work
again.
II will land you safe at the dock
in Liverpool" said he, eff you will
be men,"
| And he did land us safely; but the
vessel sunk moored to the dock. The
Captain stood on the deck of his
sinking ship, receiving the thanks
and blessings of the passengers as
they passed down the gang-plank
was last to leave. AS passed, he
grasped my hand and said:
"Judge P, you do not recog,
nize me?'

From the Aebtnbuia, Ohio, Sentinel
Country and City Papers.

We are so often asked why we cam
not afford our paper at the same price
as the city Weeklies, in which you
get less advertisements and more
reading, that we copy for their in
formation the following, from the
Conneautville Record, which is fair
explanation of the difference between
the country and the city papers:
THE HOME PAPER.
AS the time is approaching when
our country friends make their ar
Engagements for reading matter for
the new year, we take occasion to
say a few plain words on subject OF
importance, at least to us. In start
ing out we insist that every family
should have their home journal, and
where circumstances will admit, they
should also take first-class city
weekly, as it is impossible, with the
limited space at his command, for the
country editor to even briefly notice
all important events as they trans
pire.
THE CHEAP WEEKLY.
The principal argument used in
favor of the city weekly is its cheap
ness, only $3.50 or $l.75 year, and in
clubs even less, while the country pa
per, not as large either, costs $500 or
$3.50. Without stopping to examine
if there be any cause for this differ
ence in price, some person at each
postoffice at once sets out to get up a
club for the city weekly.
THE DIFFERENCE.
Now let us 50 how it is that the
city papers are afforded at such low
rates, for their rates are very low,
and furnish reading material that in
any other shape would cost ten times
as much. The reason is simply this:
Outside Of the cost of white paper,
ink and mailing, the city weeklies
cost their publishers nothing; while
the entire cost Of type-setting, press
work, paper, ink, Office rent, fuel,
ETC., is added to the cost of the coun-
try publishers paper. The type is
all set up and paid for on the daily
paper Of the city publisher, and It b
merely transferred to the weekly,
while the pressrnan, being hired by
the week, receives nothing extra on
the weekly; SO that all the city print
.er receives above the first cost OF
white paper, Ink and mailing, Is so
much clear gain; and he can there
fore make more money By furnish
