COrns".Take Care of Your Children's
Feet,

"Oh, how my corns do hurt mcW
Vino has not heard this eXclama-
ton a thousand times, and from q
thousand different persons? 1t is
rare to see an American-man or
woman-who is not troubled with
corns.
Though not dangerous, they are a
most painful infiction. They fire.
quently cause a%gonizing pain, and
still more frequently make walking
announcement and difficult. Let any
one who has suffered from corns for
years, look back and see how con-
stantly little duties which require
for their performance personal loco
motion, have been neglected from
this cause. They diminish the enjoy
ment, the comfort and the usefulness
of every one who has them.
And yet corns / entirely unne-
cessary. They are never an evil
which could not have been avoided
They come from too tight or ill fttin 9
shoes. The ''heathen Chinee' idea
that excessively small feet are ess en-
tial to beauty, this is the prolific
mother of all the ills which arise fr ON
corns. Now when grown-up PEG pie
are so silly as to pinch their feet out
of their natural proportions, we II ecd
not waste our sympathy for the uf'
fering which they experience in C on
sequence. 1t is their own delibe rate
doing, and let them take the aims
and penalties.
What interests us chiefly in the
matter is the children. We pr otest
against incasing their feet in shoes
which contine them in too marrow
limits, or iorcibly change their natu'
raj shape. The silly pride of a vair
mother has often imposed upon {
child the infection of corns, from
which she was obliged to limp all thu
way through life.
Let unnaturally small feet be look
ed upon as the evidence, not of gen.
tility, but of small brains, and thi'
mischief will soon be rem edied.
1t always seemed cruel to us tC
"hoppie" lambs. How much NOR
cruel is it to "hopplc' children with
shoes which spoil their feet, their fur
and their tempers, and from the inju.
rious effects Of which they will neVeI
be entirely free!

A Plain Yankee Talk to Southern Far
mPrS,


The other day a Northern man, in
the hearing of the writer, let himself
loose upon us after this fashion:
ut seems to HE that your people
in tile cotton-growing States manage
somewhat strangely. You spend
half of the spring and all summer IN
fighting and destroying grass, and
when you have succeeded in destroy
ing it all, you send clear away down
to the State Of Maine and buy dried
grass alta cost of two cents per pound
10 subsist your stock. Now, SO near
ly as l can Judge, your planters do
not make two cents a pound net on
cotton at thirteen cents in your mar
ket; and thus a bale of Eastern hay
on your plantation will about offset
a bale Of cotton in the pocket OF the
farmer.
"From what | know Of Middle
Georgia, | should say that you can
beat Maine out of sight making hay.

Use of Bundle Bees.

BOYS think it glorious fun to fight
humble bees, but they should not be
encouraged in the warfare. Bundle
bees, like all the hymeaoptera, play
an important part in the great field
of Nature. The vein-winged insects
which fly from flower to flower do
not injure or destroy the flowers, but
make them productive by distribut-
ing their pollen. They also rid us of
our innumerable noxious caterpillars
and other insects, which they convert
into wholesome food for their off.
spring. The ordinary honey bee per-
forms its work well in the fertiliza-
ton of white clover, but its proboscis
is not long enough to enable it to
reach the hectares of red clover. For
the fertilization of the red clover we
must rely to a great extent upon the
humble bee. Darwin has called at
tention to the intimate connection
between the number of cats in a Civ
en- district and the yield of red clover
seed. The mice destroy humble bees,
and the cats destroy the mice; there
fore, the more cats, the more humble
bees, and the more humble bees, the
greater is the red clover yield. In
order to make the red clover grow
more abundantly in New Zealand
than it does, some enterprising gen.
tlemen are talking of importing colo

Salt for Hogs.

There is no doubt that the priva-
ton of salt is the cause of those vio-
lent and fatal diseases which 50 fire.
Quently attack the hog-diseases
which battle all kinds of treatment.
Salt has the property Of preventing
many of these diseases which appear
suddenly and without apparent cause.
Salt is one of the constituents of the
blood, and it has been observed that
in certain diseases Qike the cholera)
there is an absence of saline matter
in the blood, and in these cases the
blood is black probably the tluidity
of the blood, its stimulating qualities
and the property it possesses of pre-
serving itself, depends more Or less
upon these saline components. Those
persons who put little or no salt into
their own food are the most subject
to worms. 1t is the same with ami
mails. If the food be not regularly
sailed, salt should be kept near them.

nal last week that the Boston & Maine Rail-

from Nashua to Plaistow, to connect with the
main line of that road at Atkinson. This
statement was, we have reason to believe. made
up and put forth for the purpose OF Influencing
the result of the meeting of the Worcester &
Nashua Railroad Co. at Worcester on Satur-
day last of which cur correspondent gives am
account We understand that no such survey
has been made, and that there is no charter in
existence for such a road; and no charter could
be obtained, if at all, before the next meeting
of the New Hampshire Legislature in Jure
next. The action of the Worcester meeting
will give great impetus to the Nashua and
Rochester enterprise, and we have no doubt it
will be put under contract at once. The direc-
| tors have examined the three lipes surveyed
between Nashua and Rochester, and are in
| possession of the estimates; therefore they are
prepared to select the most favorable route and
| offer the work for competition.

FROM one of the most hourishing villages of

five men here, among whom are some of the
weathiest men in the town, and the greater
part of whom have considerable sums of money
while but few have no visible means of sup
port, that are practically loafers." The greater
part of the number are men of intelligence,
and have been successful in business, but hav-
ing secured some capital have in part become
speculatOrs and in part mote shavers," having
entirely deserted the class of producers. These
men have capital enough to build up factories,
but being unacqainted with the details of the
business, and having in mind the many failures
in our own State and elsewhere through a
want of knowledge, will not risk their money
in such enterprises. This is not single in
stance; indeed, every village in the State of the
size of the one referred to, presents to some
extent similar example Of deplorabe waste
of both capital and what might be valuable

greatest need is a system of education that
