ANTIDoTEs FOR ToBACCo.-A society
has been formed in Paris to put stop
to the use of tobacco. Laymen can be-
come members of il on payment of FIVE
francs, and churchmen by paying one
franc. Whether the difference in the
admission fees indicate that the clergy
will receive less benefit from protective
or restorative influences of the society,
or that they are greater sufferers from
the use of the weed, and therefore spe-
cial inducements are held out for their
reformation, does not appear. A French
magazine says that for one suffering
from excessive indulgence in tobacco it
is sufficient to drink a cup of strong
coffee without milk; the coffee is said
to be an antidote to nicotine. The gov
eminent tasters in France, it is said, W no
are obliged to smoke an inordinate
number of cigars, find that when their
nerves are shaken and their taste i'm
paired by excess, take some strong cof-
fee, and Immediately find that their
delicacy of discrimination is restored,
aud they, are able to go on with their
trials. The Turks would seem to have
found out this secret long ago. They
smoke and drink coffee alternately, and
thus save their nerves and their taste,
as the dangerous properties of each, it
is to be presumed, counteract those of
the other. A writer in Lippincott's
Magazine says that there is another
remedy for excessive smoking, namely /:
the free use of fruit. After smoking
all the evening he eats two or three ap-
pies, or as many punches of grapes, and
finds himself in the morning none the
worse for his tobacco or his fruit. Still
another remedy, not so easy for habitu-
al users of tobacco, but invariably eff
fectuaI if persistently followed up, is to
abstain from the weed entirely. Those
who find themselves suffering from its
effects had better try this first.

st. Louis Hospital, Paris.

This ancient institution is one Of the largest,
and to the medical student, most interesting Of
the many public charities which adorn the gay
capital OF the French. It receives within its
walls annually thousands OF sick poor. A con-
siderable portion Of the building is set apart
for patients suffering with diseases Of the skin,
and every patient old or young is taking Pot
ash in some shape, and Honduras Sarsaparilla
in some form. They were esteemed by the
renowned physicians who had charge of the
skin department as well-nigh specific in almost
every variety OF eutAneous disease, whether Of
rheumatic or serOfulous or simple origin. They
were given In letter, rfng-worm, nettle-rash,
pimples, scrofula, ulcers, old sores, falling of
the hair, etc. In all they did good, in most
they effected cure. But il has remained for
Edsodrd WTIder's SGrsaparifla and Potash
to perform the most remarkable cures awarded
to any known medicine. Il possesses virtues
shared by no other combination Of these sub
stances. 1t Is therapeutic marvel. Against
all the diseases At which IL is aimed Il Is sim
ply resistIess; IL never fails. See toit that you
suffer not one day longer with any Of the ills
which IL cures. Get Il at once.

Not So Far Behind.

There exists legend, possibly in
vented by some imaginative for
eigner, that the uncouth form of the
Chinese junk owes its origin to fit
of passion on the part Of some ancient
"Brother Of the Sun" to whom were
submitted the first plans of remark
able machine which would actually
convey living creatures over the
treacherous sea. Unable to compre-
bend the copfused-looking sketch
before him, he dismissed its bearer
by throwing his royal shoe at his
head, and roaring out that "if he
wanted to build water machines he
might copy that" The quaint and
ugly Noah's arks, dear to the Celes-
tial mind, are at any rate sufficiently
like such model to justify the story;
end SO characteristic of the Chinese
arc they usually considered, that
most people refuse to separate them
in their ideas rs persistently as they
connect Dahlgren with his gun, or
Ericsson with the early "monitor. /"
To such persons paragraph in our
last files Of China papers will doubt
less act like n galvanic shock. 1t is
there broadly stated that at the
Kiangnan Arsenal, near Shanghai,
no fewer than three steam gunboats
and steam dredger have been sue
cessfully launched within the last
few months, one Of the gunboats
being manned, navigated, engineered,
and sailed exclusively by our unin-
telligent-looking friends in pig-tails
and thick boots. Furthermore, we
learn that the said vessels have been
constructed exclusively by Chinese,
engines included, only Ave or six
Europeans being employed as super
intendents and craftsmen. Surprise
increases as we read that all shot,
shell, guns, caps, and other parapher-
MALTA Of war were likewise manufac-
tured by native artisans. Withsuc
testimony before us, confirmed more
over by special information, we need
hardly ask II China is making
progress.
But this Is only the first portion Of
an announcement which may fairly
be said to mark an era in Chinese
development. The same paragraph
informs us that "the arsenal is at the
Iowa voter. [volume] (Knoxville, Iowa) 1867-1874, 1870-08-18

present moment engaged In building
q steam transports Of !, 400 tuns, which
lit Is expected will be finished in
september" China building steam
transport! The idea seems incredi-
BILE. But what can we say to the
following, which concludes this mar
velous record Of Chinese progress?
cit is in contemplation to construct
corvette Of $500 tuns burden, to be
armed with taro-Isundred- and.jNfty-
p0undevs in the waist Of the ship, land
either 32s or 4O-pounder smooth-bores
to complete the. armament" This
is, indeed, new and wondrous
development Of the low intelligence
which some assure US exists in the
"debased Mongolian." Whatever
Chinese Coolies may be, they are as
much Coolies in China as in this
country, and we suspect represent
their countrymen pretty nearly as
well as Castle Garden squad of immi-
grants represent the intelligence OF
Dublin or Berlin.
There is, however, matter for seri-
Gus reflection in the paragraph We
have quoted. A nation which makes
such efforts under Imperial auspices,
small as they may be when compared
with the results Of our own more
perfect civilization, cannot be de-
scribed as going backward. We may
observe with some pride that the
leading foreigner at Kiangnan is an
American citizen, and that he has
produced these results after a six
years training of his native staff.
Whatever his nationality, he deserves
congratulation. 1t Is none the less
hearty that he was born beneath the
Stars and Stripes.-N. y. Tribune.

on to this, there Is but little fear OF
| OVERRIDING 1t, for where the mother,
| especially, is shiftless and careless
about the house, home that will be
apt to cause any one, boys Of all 9TH
ers, to wish to stay there need not be
looked for. We again say then, when
all these things are considered, is it
to be wondered at greatly that boys
leave the farm and go into the army,
or what is worse, the cities.
They are dumping out of the fry
ing.pan into the fire." but It is too
late to be helped, generally, when
they find it out.
There Is plenty always to do that
the boys could do just as well as the
men, and which they would take a
great pleasure in doing, and if al
lowed to do part Of the more pleasant
work they would cheerfuily do their
full portion Of the less agreeable, but
equally important work, constantly
accruing on the premises Of every
farmer.
Boys take an honest and just pride
in doing work Of any kind that
shows to their credit, and very
little praise or encouragement goes a
great ways; muster up courage then,
fathers and mothers, and try it a few
times-we will be responsible for any
harm done.
There il no better way to enlist
the bays interest and make them
contented to remain on the farm,
than to let them have an interest in
some particular crop, or to have a
piece of ground to cultivate, ION
their own hook" or to have some
animal, say colt, or calf, or pig, to
have the management and care of
the poultry Of the farm, the profits
arising from the sale Of the eggs and
young chickens, after supplying the
family, to belong to them, to be in
vested as he may think best, and on
his own responsibility. In this way
confidence, self-reliance and habits Of
business management will be i'm
planted in the mind Of the boy that
will be OF lasting benefit, and the
greater interest taken in the regular
work Of the farm, and the consequent
greater amount done, and in much
better manner, besides, will far more
than repay the parents for any ex-
pense IL may have been to them to
lnangurate this plan.
In conclusion, we say with II. C..
Rippey, "Stick to the Farm, Boys"
But we also say, "Gfve the Boys n
Chance;" nothing will be lost, much
will be gained; and at time when
those boys who have been neglected
and overworked, and treated like
brutes, are leaving their homes for
the army, or a city life, your boy or
boys will be as firmly attached to
their home as ever, and when in after
years they shall go forth to engage
In the active business of life on their
own responsibility, the home Of their
childhood will be held in grateful
remembrance as the happiest spot on
earth.
