No WhiSkey on Election Day.

Among the bills recently passed by the
legislature is the following, which, hav-
ing received the official sanction of Gov
ernor Geary, has become law:
SECTION /. BE 1t enacted, ETC., That
from and after the passage Of this act. it
shall not be lawful for any person in this
commonwealth to sell liquors or give
away to be used as drink any spurious
or malt liquors, wine or cider, or any
other substance containing alcohol, on
any part of any day set apart or to be set
apart for any general or special election
by the citizens in or within any of the pre-
cincts, wards, townships, counties, or 9TH
er election divisions or districts in the
commonwealth Provided, That the pro-
visions of this bill shall not be enforced

An exclusive diet of ordinary vegeta-
bles is not favorable to mans full bodily
or mental development; but bread may
form almost the sole food with benefit, as
the 2 luteu of wheat is as we'll adapted to
the nutrition of the body as is the flesh
of animals On the other hand, an
exclusive animal diet is the least econo-
mical of ALL as it scantily supplies the
materials for respiration Is lbs of flesh
contains no more carbon than lbs Of
starch so that person with an equal
weight of meat and starch could support
life very much longer than one restricted
to the same weight of flesh alone Thus
we see the great advantage in point of
economy of food, of fixed agricultural
community over wandering tribes Of
hunters

The Lost Races.

A writer in the Missouria Republican
discussion questions suggested by the
"rcics of lost races" arrives at the fol-
lowing conclusion regarding the pre- his
toTic occupants of the Mississippi Valley;
|. The primatives of America were no:
exotic, but indigenous. =. The race
known as mound builders were Red To-
dians in every essential particular, like
those now inhabiting the territories. 3.
Of the ten thousand mounds in the Wes-
tern, Middle and Southern States, less
than five hundred are the product OF hu.
man agency. 4. The highest points of
art attained by the mound builders only
exceeded the use Of stone implements by
very limited manipulation OF native cop
per, and part from their extreme ad
vancement is marked by earth works, un-
glazed pottery, and the simplest aborig
inal soil tillage, 5. They had no system
of worship or ideas of theology more ee
waited than such as are entertained by the
hunter of the tribes of the present day.

His trength is terrible, in which he re-

proud in his speed.

His bones are like strong pieces of
brass-yea, like bars of iron.

CUCUMBERs.-Let all who love the
crisp, fresh taste of early, well grown
ucumbers, understand that they can be
had 10 abundance by the fourth of July,
with little extra pains. To attain this
result, take square cut sod four inches
thick, invert it, and plant or seeds
around the center of six inch square on
the earth side. Make as many hills as
you wish, allowing six inches of sod to
the hill, Place the whole in a warm
place indoors, and the plants will soon ap-
pear. Keep them we'll watered, and when
all danger of frost is over, transplant to
the garden in rich soil, leaving the hills
four feet apart each way. When they
begin TO run, thin them out leaving only
two vines in each hill. Water with liquid
manure, and sprinkle the vines with the
same copiously to keep off the striped bug.
Cucumbers properly used are not un-
healthy. The above method of starting
plants is good one, and will apply to
melons, peppers, tomatoes, and most other
plants that need a little fastening in our
climate

In-GroWing Toe Nails.

The most painful of the diseases of the
nails is caused by the improper manner
of cutting the nail generally of the great
toe), and then wearing a narrow, badly
made shoe. The nail beginning to grow
too long, and rather wide at the corner,
is often trimmed around the corner which
gives temporary relief; but it then be
gins to grow wider in the side where it
was cut off and, as the shoe presses the
flesh against the corner, the nails cuts
more and more into the raw flesh, which
becomes excessively tender and irritable
Ii this state continues long, the toe be
comes more aud more painful aud ulcer
ated, and fungus (proud fesh) sprouts
up from the sorest points. Walking
greatly increases the suffering, till posi-
tive rest becomes Indispensable. Begin
the effort at cure by simple application
to the tender part, OF small quantity of
tincture of perchloride of iron. There is
Immediately moderate sensation OF pain,
construction, c. burning. ln few min
utes the tender surface is felt to be dried
up, tanned, or mummi6ed, aud it ceases
to be painful. The patient, who before
could not put his foot to the floor, now
finds that he can walk upon it without
pain. BY permitting the hardened, wood
like flesh to remain for two or three
weeks, it can easily be removed by soak
ing the foot in warm water. A new and
healthy structure is found, firm and solid f,
below. 1t thereafter the nails be no more
cut around the corners or sides, but al
ways curved in across the front, they will
in the future only grow straight forward;
and by wearing shoe of reasonably good
size and shape, all further trouble will be
avoided

Important to School Directors.

We copy the following from the late

of our school boards, that they may know
what the law requires of them:
1t shall be the duty of the board of
directors to publish an annual statement
of the amount of moneys received and ex-
pended, and the amount due from collec-
tors, and setting forth all the financial
operations Of the district, by one or more
publications in one or more new papers

there is an amount of tax not collected,
or any amount due to the district it is to

SETTING OUT CABBAGE PLANTS.

Plants which have been raised in hot
bed may now be set out. If none have
been raised at home, they can be had
probably of others better situated or more
thoughtful, Assuminh that such plants
are obtained. the soil must by made very
rich to grow good cabbages. The cab
bage is gross feeder, and thrives
vigorously on highly nitrogenizcd food.
Strong concentrated manurcs are there
fore those which are adapted to the growth
of cabbage. Dig the ground over care
tully-it should be deep and of loamy
texture, and rather moist than dry-rake
all fine, and choosing, if possible, moist
or cloudy day; set out the plants in rows
running north and south, three feet by
two and half feet apart. IF, however,
at the time of planting, or subsequently,
the weather should prove dry, water the
plants every evening after sunset, until
rain occure.-Naryland Farmer.
