WHICH are SldulJ tcuueTeU.
How Now ?-The Pt7ot really felt
badly last week because the Welsh citi-
zens of Wisconsin did not succeed in get
ting one of their nationality on the State
ticket, and gives its opinion of Welsh
and Norwegian citizens as follows:
&C 1t was amusing then to see
| the whipped Holman, the presumptlve
| Norwegian, try to cipher cut the Yankee
trick that had been played on him and
his countrymen.
So a Norwegian is presuD'pfirc because
he tries to get nomination on the Re.
pr5!ioan state ticket, is he. Dir. Plot
That is plain evidence that Norwegian
is not near enough to an angel to belong
to the Democratic party, consequently
you may well say ''no Norwegians need
apply"
And then it says, speaking of Mr..
Vaughn Welsh candidate:
Poor fool, he asked for an of
fee in good faith, believing that r. would
get it; but like his Norwegian friend
Holman, he could not read the mysteri-
Gus hicroglyphics painted OIL the fore
heads Of the Know Nothing majority in
that convention, when our party is in
power, no foreigners need apply :
Indeed There are no foreigners on
our ticket this fall, is there? No, not
one. Major Betz is no German Ger
talnly not. If he we're your version of
when our party is in power no foreign
ers need apply would be misplaced
And then the candidate for Secretary of
State, Mr.. L. Brccse, is no Welshman,
If his parents and himself werc born in
Wales ? No, certainly not, for no for
eigners need apply. -
Now, Mr. Plot, Just tell the truth once,
and say that the Republican party wants
the best men in the State to govern it,
and that it matters not what he be, Irish,
Norwegian, German, a Welshman, or 4
genuine Guinea Niger, so long as he is
better fitted for the position than another
Being genuine Germans ourselves we
dom favor having the administration run
by Americans alone, nor do we think a
German any better than a representative
Of any other nationality, and in saying
this we think we express the sentiments
of every Republican voter in the State.
Your argument is rather thin, Mr..
Plot, and We advise you to get little
nearer the truth next time.
We have seen several of our mer-
chants using letter heads, bill heads.
cards, &c, the order for which had been
filed in Chicago. For our part we can
not see the necessity for patronizing Chi
cago houses for articles which can be
furnished just as well and just as cheaply
here at Manitowoc We have some speci-
mems Of cur work Oh hand, and would
merely request our business men to call
and examine our work and prices
before sending their orders away from
home, satisfied that we can offer as good
quality of material in as good style and

orders, and ne will guarantee satisfac-

SELLING EoGs ny THE PoUSD.-The best
way, as well As the only honest way, is to
sell eggs by the pound. There is between
the smallest and the largest eggs sometimes
half differ ence-one dozen weighing say
sixteen ounces, and another from twenty
four to thirty-two ounces. Why should
the producer sell and the consumer buy
the large ones at the same price that each
sells and buys the smallf A neighbor has
hens that lay eggs which average nearly
three ounces each. 1t costs double to keep
his stock that 1t does a smaller variety. II
his eggs are twice AZ large az ours, why
should he not have double the price per
dozen1
We hope to see the practice inaugurated
at no distant day. When eggs were nine
pence dozen it made less difference, but
now when they are sometimes as high as
sixty cents, 1t makes some difference
whether man pays his sixty cents for
sixteen ounces or MISUNDERSTANDING

GIRLS sHOULD LE.sR.V' TO KEEP
HOUSE.

No young lady can be too well instructed
a family. Whatever position in society she
occupies, she needs practical knowledge
of household duties. She may be placed in
such circumstances that 1t will not be nee
essary for her to perform much domestic
labor; but on this account she needs no less
knowledge than If she was obliged to pre-
side personally over the cooking-stove and
pantry. Indeed, I have thought that IL is
more difficult to direct others, and requires
more experience than to do the same work
with our own hands.
Mothers are frequently so nice and par
iicular that they do not like to give up any
part of the care of their children. This is a
great mistake in their management, for they
are oftened burdened with labor and need
relief. Children should be early taught to
make themselves useful; to assist their
parents every way in their power, and con-
sdor it privilege to do SC.
Young people cannot realize the impor-
lance of a thorough knowledge of house
wifery; but those who have suffered the
inconvenience and modification of ignor-
ance can well appreciate it. Children should
be early INDUCED in their disposition to
bake and experiment in various ways. 1t
is often but a troublesome help that they

disposed to try her skill in making simple
cakes or pies, she is permitted to do so.
She is thus, while amusing herself, learning
an important lesson. Her mother calls her

her to get what is necessary for the table.
She hangs the keys by her side, and very
musical is the jingling to her ears. think
before she is out Of her teens, upon which
she has not yet entered, that she will have
some idea how to cook.
Some mothers give their daughters the
care of housekeeping, each a week by turn.
1t seems TO me good arrangement, and
most useful part of their education. Do
nestle labor is by no means incompatible
with the highest degree of refinement and
mental culture. Many of the most elegant,
accomplished women 1 have known, have
looked well to their household duties, and
have honored themselves and their hus-
bands by so doing.
Economy, taste, skill in cooking, and
neatness of the kitchen, have great deal
to do in making life happy and prosperous.
The charm of good housekeeping is in or
der, economy and taste displayed in atten-
ton to little things; and these things have
wonderful influence. A dirty kitchen and
bad cooking have driven many one from
home to seek comfort and happiness some
where else. None of our excellent girls are
fit to be married until they are thoroughly

rHB uU.,r.s.,. EYE.

No work OF human ingenuity is equal to
that natural marvel, the human eye,-an
organ having reference to an element quite
external to itself, whose chief source is
millions OF leagues distant; and also to
millions of external objects which compose
our scenery of earth and sky,-an organ
placed in the most elevated part of the
body 80 as to command the most extensive
prospect; placed in the front so as most
readily to preside over the direction in
which we habitually move; placed in a
strong bony socket which defends IL from
the heavier external injuries imbedded In
soft cushion, so that its delicate texture
cannot be hurt by the bony walls around
it, as 1t rests ON them, and turns swiftly
hither and thither at the bidding of the
will furnished with lids, like curtains, to
close over 1t in sleep, to wipe it, to cut off
the outer rays of light that would confuse
vision, to protect 1t by their involuntary
and instantaneous shutting against the
lighter kind of injuries; furnished with an
apparatus of muscles by which 1t can be
rapidly turned at choice in any direction,
30 as to vary the field of vision as the needs
of life may suggest furnished with self
acting system of appliances by which the
ball is kept fabricated for easy movement;
furnished with conduit to carry off the
superfluous moisture furnished with just
that shape, out of ten thousand possible
shapes, which mathematcians have dem
onstrated to be the only one which can re-
tract all the rays Of light to a single surface,
and thus afford distinct vision, viz, that of
an ellipsoid of revolution; furnished with
retina of natural canvas on which its
pictures of external objects can be formed,
Of just the right size, and just the right dis
lance behind the lenses of the eye furn-
ished with lenses of different substances
having different efractive powers, thereby
preventing the light from being resolved
into the prismatic colors, and thus misrep-
resenting and uniforming objects; furnish
ed in front with a perforated membrane
that by self-adjustment adapts it to differ
ent degrees of light, also with a system of
pulleys and ligaments that at moments
warning alter its convexity and the relative
position Of parts so as to adapt II to objects
at different distances, and, what is moro
wonderful than all, provided in some
inscrutable manner with the means of ex-
pressing the mind itself, so that one may
look into its crystal depths and see intel

and almost every spiritual state and action.

MEASURING LAND ny PACING. - Five
PAGES are considered equal to one lineal
rod. a man having long legs can easily go
more than rod at five PAGES while a per-
son with short legs would be required to
step much farther than would be an easy
movement for him, in order to measure
one rod. Let rod be measured off with
rule; then let the person who proposes to
measure by pacing step rod at five PAGES.
After little practice, he can gauge his
steps with sufficient accuracy to enable him
to measure any square piece OF land by
pacing. Fifty PAGES will be equal to ten
rods in length. And if the piece DO forty
PAGES wide, the distance will be equal to
eight rods. Therefore, eight multiplied by
ten will give the number of square rods in
the field. We have then this simple rule:
Ascertain the number of PAGES on two sides
of piece of ground. Divide the number
by five, to ascertain the number of lineal
rods. Then multiply the number of rods
on one side by the rods across one end di-
vide the product by 100, the number Of
square rods in one acre. BY this system Of
measurement, the number of acres in a
square plot can be determined with salts
factory accuracy.
