BRASS BAND,-Norfolk is called a
city, and yet it cannot boast full brass
band. Why is this? True, we have a
so-called band in our midst, but it is
sadly deficient, and but poor apology
for city as large as ours. We certain
ly have good material-fne musicians,
and excellent instruments could be OBJ
tanned. Then what is the matter-a
lack of patronage? No; for at this sea-
son of the year good band would be in
constant demand. Energy is lacking
that's what's the matter
Almost every city in the country, OF
respectable size, has brass band. We
had an excellent one here before the
war, and there is no reason why we
haven't one now. On every occasion we
are compelled to send to Old Point for
music.
1t is said we are growing pub lie spir-
tied. This want of music doesn't look
much like it. We are more able to sus-
tain band now than we were before the
war, because we have nearly twice the
population-and more money. We
hope some energetic person will take
this matter in hand, and convince us
that there's music, as we'll as life, in the
old land yet. Much might be said 10
favor of a band organization in our
midst, but the advantages present them
selves forcibly to intelligent minds, and
we forbear further comment.

OUR DOMESTIC MARKET.-It is a
general remark, that farmers are perfect
ly indifferent to the wants of those living
in our city; they are large producers, and
could easily afford to send enough veg
atables and fruit to market to supply
the demand. They are seemingly care
less relative to home consumption, and
by no means creditable to them. As a
general thing, Northern markets are
glutted with vegetables and fruit; and in
many cases, those to whom such articles
are shipped, are glad to get clear OF them
by persons paying the freight. Still
the producer sends every thing away he
can, exclusive to the wants Of home con-

CAUSES OF DEFoRMEp LEas.-Bow.

CAUSES OF DEFoRMED LEGs.-Bow-
cd legs and knocking knees ale
among the commonest deformities of
humanity, and wise mothers assert
that the crookedness in. either case
arises from the afflicted one having
been put on his or her feet too early
in childhood. But q Manchester
physician, DR.. Crompton, who has
watched for the true cause, thinks
differently. He attributes the first
mentioned distortion to habit some
youngsters delight in, of rubbing
tho sole of one foot against that Of
the other. Some will 60 to. sleep
with the solos pressed together
They appear to enjoy the contact
only when the feet are naked. They
doa't attempt to make it when the
feet, are socked or slippered. So the
remedy is obvious-keep the baby's
soles covered. Knocking knees. the
Doctor ascribes to different child.

side, with one leg tucked into the
hollow behind the other. He has
found that whore one leg has been
bowed inward more than the other,
the patient has always slept Or one
side, and thenppermost member has
been the one most deformed. Here
tho preventive is to pad the insides

Early Breakfasts.

A bad custom is prevalent in many
families, especially among farmers,
OF working an hour or two before
breakfast, attending to "cheres,'
hooing in the garden, cutting wood
moving, etc. This is convenient on
many accounts, but it is not condu>
Give to health. The prevalent opin-
ion is, that the morning air is the
purest and most healthful and brac-
ing; but the contrary is tie fact
At no hour of the day is theair more
filled with dampness, fogs and mi,
asmas, than at sunrise. The heat of
the sun gradually dissipates these
miasmatic influences as the day ad-
vances. An early meal braces up
the system against these external
influences. All know the languor
and faintness often experienced for
the first hour in the morning, and
that this is increased by exercise and
the want of food. We do not agree
with the boarding school regime
which prescribes long walk before
breakfast as a means of promoting
health.
Probably the best custom would
be, to furnish every member of the
family, especially those who labor
out of doors, with single cup of
warm coffee, well MIXED immediate
ly after rising from bed. Then let
them attend to chores, &c. for an
hour or two, while the teams are
feeding and the breakfast preparing.
They will feel better and accomplish
more.-American Agriculturist.

Eating Fruit.

DR.. Snow, of Providence, r. L., q
well-known collector Of vital statis-
tics, who has given much attention
to the causes Of death, in q note to
the Providence Journal, giving the
MEMBER of deaths in that city in the
month of July, says,
"We ARE treated at this season
with the usual amount of cautions in
the newspapers against the use Of
fruits and vegetables, and are called
upon to believe that the increase of
mortality which always occurs du-
ring the hot weather, is almost
wholly caused by eating them. 1t is
quito likely that eating unripe and
wilted fruit and vegetables causes
disturbance in the stomach and sick-
ness; but it is Of a temporary chars
acter, and would generally cure
itself if no other cause was present.
1t il we'll TO use caution in the selec-
ton OF fruits and vegetables, but tits
not well to be unnecessarily troubled
. nd frightened about them, and it is
still worse to avoid them altogether.
The slightest examination of the
causes of death gwen shows that
fruit and vegetables had almost no
influence whatever in the mortality
reported from summer complaints.
Nearly all the decedents--frem these
causes were very young children
who do not eat fruit and vegetables
at all ALI but five Of the decedents
from summer complaints in July
were under two years of age and
only two of tho whole number were
over two years of age.
In certain seasons, when epicemic
cholera smay be present and when
the systems of the people may be
prepared for disease by tho poisoned
air they breath, it is possible that
wilted fruit and vegetables may be
the exciting causes of fatal sickness,
but even then the air that is breath
Ell is more truly the cause Of death
than the food that is eaten: In or
d nary seasons, when no epidemic is
present, impure air causes a thous-
and fold more mortality than fruit
and vegetables. In fact it is proba-
bic that total abstinence from fruit
and vegetables by the whole commu-
nifty would produce more fatal sick-
ness than the most unlimited indul-
gence in them. The safest rule is,
however, temperance in all things.

SETTING OUT STRAWBERRY BEDS
Straw berry be can now be ser out
from the middle of August to the
end Of September. .Itis true August
is generally warm and dry month,
but in the case of the absence of rain
the newly planted beds must be wa
tered every day or two until they
become established.
The bed should not be in a damp
situation or the soil heavy. Dig
deep, pulverize finely and apply
pretty good dose of good barn-yard
manure. Let the divisions be about
three feet and a half in width and
as long as may be desirable. Set
the plants about eighteen inches APP
art, insert them in the ground firmly
but not too deeply, and then keep
clear of all grass and weeds. |
AS to the varieties, I'VE should
choose for our own planting the fol-
lowing: Triumph, Russell and Nov
ey, and if we wished another, JUG
unda. They should. be planted in
this wise in making up full bed,
with half a dozen divisions: / Tri
umph, 2 lucinda, 3 Hovey, 4 Russsl.
In this way fine crop is assured
with as much certainty as anything
can be. The last of November pro-
tect the plants with a light cover
ing of straw the year after that, II
needed light manure may be subs
tituted as covering.
A half crop may be expected the
first season. A mulch of straw cut
two or three inches long will keep
the moist and cool, which this berry
likes. and smother the weeds. This
should be application of spent tan is
also excellent.-Germantoacn Tele-
