Spring FeverS.

Many people seem to think it a part of
the ordering of Providence, to be sick in
spring never connecting it with the linz
tied range and tresome repetition of the
same dishes-so difficult to avoid through
the winter. That is no doubt the chief, if
not the sole cause Of the bad feelings, often
eliminating in actual illness, so common
as mild weather comes on. A careful Or
dering of the table, a judcous choice OF
diet, will do much to prevent fevers, or
ward them off when threatened. OF
course, so long as we breathe the same at
mosphere with our fellows, we must suffer
with them the consequences of their igno-
rance, carelessness. and imprudence Still,
favorable condition of the system, result
ting from proper nourishment, may make
an attack, if it must come, slight and tram
sient For instance, it is not proper
nourishment to continue in spring
the free use of meat which was good
through the winter To do SO, is to invite
fever. Generally, the taste begins to crave
what is neutrality-suspicious., fruits, and
grains in large proportion. But here
comes the house keepers difficulty. Veg
etabes and fruits grow scarce and poor at
the close of winter, ard unless special
effort is made, they will not be sufficiently
or attractively provided. A very health
full soup is one made entirely of vegetables,
such as keep we'll through the winter
turnips, potatoes, onions, celery. Crhe
French soup that we give is a good receipt
Cabbage does not mingle we'll with other
vegetables it makes better soup by itself,
with milk thckened with butter rolled in
-four. Canned tomatoes are useful to
flavor This vegetable sonp is so decided
ly good that our family physician relies
upon it as his chief remedy for the scorbu-
tic affections incident to the change Of sea
son administering it by the teaspoonful
in low fevers.
Every attanable variety Of dried fruits
should appear upon the table, and cram
berries are an invaluable resource If the
expense of fruit in variety is objected to,
it must be weighed against doctors bills
A liberal use Of oranges and lemons may
be the means of preventing a spell of
sickness that nothing else would avert
You cannot do a more eXtravagant thing
than get sick. Ldt2y's Friend.

Minority Representation.

OF all things yet invented by leglSla-
tive body as subject of legislation, this
Minority Representation" scheme is the
elimination of all farces. There is, in
fact, nothing like equal representation
about it it is simply providing because 8
men will cast more votes than / nan, that
the one man shall have the privilege of
casting more votes than the eight men.
The minority cannot elect representative
unless they cast more votes than the ma
iority, and that will leave the majority in
the minority, then the question will arise,
how is this second minority TO be repre-
scented, and 50 on dd in5fhitum. What
good reason can any man assign for enact
ing law that the few people may govern
the many The new cor stitution of III
inois provides for this minority represent
alton, and casual glance at it would
make it appear just; but when it is view
ed to the bottom it has a hideous appear
ance to person conversant with the pow
ers Of a representative government. The
proposition is not that the person having
the fewest number of votes shall be elect
cd, but that the fewest number of voters
may carry the election. The majority is
forced into manner of voting that con-
trolls their suffrage power, while method
IS adopted by which the minority can take
advantage of this and cast the more votes.
In the first place the law would require
all the representatives Of a district to be
elected on one ticket. Suppose there were
three to be elected, and 5000 votes in the
county, 1000 republican and 900 demo-
Gratis. If each party put out ticket con-
tanning three names for representatives,
the republicans would elect their entire
ticket by 1000 majority but if the repub-
licans put out ticket with three names
on, and the democrats put out a ticket
with only one name on, each democrat
would be entitled to three votes for the
one man, and they would eject him over
one Of the republican men by 1000 major
ity, and then the minority would be rep.
resented by this one man. This is the
whole scheme of the law in a nutshell,
and is nothing more nor less than allowing
the minority to repeat their votes until
they exceed the majority and such law
as this we reluctantly admit is talked of in
the Wisconsin Legislature.

Amending the Constitution.

A joint resolution has been introduced
in the Assembly to amend the constitution
as follows:
Resol0ed By the Assembly, the Senate
concurrjng, That article four of the consti-
tuition of the state Of Wisconsin is here
by amended by striking out section TWEEN
ty-three, which reads as follows: The
Legislature shall establish but one system
of town and county government, which
shall be as nearly uniform as practicable.
The effect Of this amendment, if ratified,
would be, to permit each county in the
State to adopt which method of county
government they pleased either the
three commissioner system, or town rep
resentation system as at present.
A change in the constitution will be
necessary to endue the people with such
power as at present it requires the diff
ferent town and county governments to be
as nearly uniform as practicable.
