Plain Talk to Girls.

Your every day toilet is part of your
character. a girl who looks like fury"
or ''sloven" in the morning is not to be
trusted, however finely she may look in
the evening. No matter how humble
your room may be, there are eight things
it should contain, namely mirror, wash
stand, soap, towel, comb, hair, nail, and
tooth brushes These are just as essen
I'll as your breakfast, before which you
should make good use of them Parents
who fail to privide their children with
such appliances, not only make great
mistake, but commit a sin of omission =
Look tidy in the morning, and, after the
dinner work is over, improve your toilet
Make it a rule of yoRr daily lite to dress
up" in the afternoon. Your dress may
or need not be anything better than cali
co but with a ribbon or flower, or some
bit OF ornament, you can have an air OF
self respect and satisfaction that lnvarl-
ably comes with being well dressed. a
girl with fne sensibilitles cannot help
feeling embarrassed and awkward IN Il
ragged and dirty dress, with her hair un
kempt, should neiehbor or stranger
come in. Moreover, your selfrespect
should demand the decent apparehing Of
your body. You should make it point
to look as we'll as you can, even il you
know nobody will see you but yourself.

Russian BriStles.

The sources of the vast majority Of the
bristles of commerce are the interminabe
forests of Northern Russia. Here. for
thousands of miles in extent, the land is
covered with wood-pine trees, larches,
oaks, beeches, rowans, and other cone,
mast, acorn and berry bearing trees, the
fruits of which form a delicious diet for
swine, which in a sort of half wild state
and more or less under the Surveillance
of swineherds, swarm in prodigious num-
bers. 1t need not be supposed that all
these swarms surrender their bristles to
the bristlemerchant. The pigs under
culture for the briStle crop are mostly a
priViledged race, that pasture near the
great tallow factories Of Russia, where
the animals, reared too far from the
habtations of men to be consumed for
human food, are boiled down for the sake
OF their fat. The swine are fed on the
refuse of the tallow houses at certain
seasons, and become in prime condition
after few months feeding. The bristle-
harvest is reaped, or rather is uprooted,
in the summer, by process which re
minds one of the quill plucking Of the
Lincolnshire geese, but which is really
not so cruel as it appears at first view.
When the animals are well fattened,
after months of unlimited feasting, and
their bristles are in the finest order, they
have to compensate their hosts for their
entertainment They are then driven in
muiitudes into kind of kraal, or fenced
enclosure, where they are crowded as
thickly together as they can stand, and
perhaps rather more so. Here, bydint
of kicking, striving, struggling, and
scrambling together, they are sure to get
considerably heated, in which feverish
condition they are seized by the pluckers,
who have then but little difficulty in pul
ling up the pristles by the roots. This is
no sooner accomplished than piggy is
allowed to regain his liberty, and scam
pers off again to his pasture. The spec
tacle is not a very delightful one, as may
be imagined, nor is the extemporaneeus
concert, improvised on the occasion, very
agreeable to the ear. That the bristle
harvest is really reaped in this way, any
one may satisfy himself by inspecting
consignment Of undressed bristles, before
they have been passed through any clcaus-
ing or purifying process. He will see
that the stiff hairs have been forcibly
dragged up by the roots. and he will see
further, in the case of Siberian bristles,
that together with the roots of the stiff
hair there has been torn away no in
considerable portion of the softer wool,
which by kind of provision of Nature
underlies the bristes in the severe North.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1871-12-14

and, if the States cannot or will not do
this, the Union must and will. We
heartily regret that National interpostion
Is necessary but it is, we rejoice that it
has been decreed, and bids fair to prove
etfectual. The denunications of martial
law" in Opposition journals and speeches
are based on untruth. There has been
no proclamation of martial law nothing
more than vigorous assertion of the su-
premacy of statue law to conspiracy, viol
ence, and murder. If any have abscond-
ed from their homes because Of the Pre-.
sident's Proclamatious, their guilty con-
science were their accusers. We wish
the President had seen fit, moreover, to
indicate his adherence of the Garnet bag
villaiuies whereby several Southern States
have been impoverished and their credit
broken down-villalnies which partially
explain but In no manner excuse the
crimes of the Ku Klux providers but he
Is right as to these miscrcants, aud, so
far, the country is with him.
Another suggestion that will strike the
people as both proper and just, is the one
that the Government take possession of
the telegraphic wires and manage them
as 1T does the Post Office This plan has
been tried in England with great sue
cess. We will have cheaper communica-
ton between the people, and one of the
shackles on the press will be removed
We can never have an entirely free so
long as it has to submit to the exactions
of set of private spectators, bent more
on enriching themselves than on accom-
modating the public.
The President meets every question
presented to the minds of the American
people in affair and candid manner His
recommendations are in nearly all re.
spects wise and progressive and the coun-
try will see in them that we have Pre-
sideDt who is no less wise in peace than he
was illustrious in war.

Cure for the SMALLPOX

A correspondent says he cured himself
of severe case OF small pox by the fol
lowing remedy, and begs to make it
known that other sufferers may find speedy
relief 1t was simply by taking a sweat
Of cream Of tarter-one tablespoonful OF
cream of tarter, one tablespoonful OF brown
sugar, put into large sized bowl boil
ing water poured over it, filing up the
bowl; then let it be well stirred, and the
patient drink it all, as hot as it can he
taken (being, OF course, in bed and well
covered up). This sweat univearally
sends the disease to the surface, prevent
ing afterwards sickness or death, or of
being marked, which is greately dreaded
by some, especially the ladies.

The True Theory About Fresh Air.

The following facts on "open windows
at night is from Halls Journal Of Heauh:
'Nery much has been written on this
subject, and written unwsely 4; the facts
are that whoever sleeps uncomfortably
cool will get sick. To hoist the window
sky high when the mercury is at zero is
an absurdity. The colder sleeping ap
partmeutsis is the more unhealthy does it be-
come, because cold condenses the carbonic
acid formed by the breathing of the
sleeper. 1t settles near the floor, and is
re breathed, and if in very condensed
form he will die before morning. Hence
we must be governed by circumstances
the first thing is you must be comfortably
warm during sleep, otherwise you are not
refreshed, and Inflammation of the lungs
may be engeDdered, and life destroyed
within very few days. An open door
and an open fire place are sufficient for
ordinary purposes in cold weather.
When other windows are opened, it is
to have them down a. the top two or three
inches, and up at the bottom for the same
space, in miasmic localities and these are
along the water course, besides mill ponds,
marshes, bivouacs' river bottoms, fat
islands, and the like. 1t is the most i'm
portant from the first Of August until
several severe frosts have been noticed,
to keep all external doors and windows
closed, because the cool air Of sunset
causes the condensation of the poisonous
emanations which were caused by the
heat of the MONDAY sun to rise far above
the earth. This condensation makes the
air "heayy" by the great soidifcation OF
the emanations by cold these resting on
the surface of the earth in the more
concentrated and malignant form, they
are breathed in the lung and swallowed
into the stomach, corrupting and poison
ing the blood with great rapidity. BY
daylight these cOndensations are made so
compact by the protacted GOODNESS of the
night they are too near the surface of the
earth to be breathed into the system but
as the sun begins to asend these heavy
condensations begin to rise to the height
Of several feet above the ground, and are
freely taken into the system by every
breath and swallow hence, the hours of
sunrise and sunset are the most unhealthy
hours of the twenty. four in the localities
named and noon tide, when the sun is
the hottest, is the most healthy portion
Of the day, because the niasmic so much
ratified that it asccnds rapidly to the up
per regions. The general lessons are =
First avoid exposure to the outdoor air
in miasmatic localities for the hours includ-
ing sunrise and sunset Second, having
a blazing fire on the hearth of the family
room at these hours to rarity and send
the miasma upward. Third, take break
fast before going out of doors in the morn
ing, and take tea before sundown then
being out at night is not so injurious.

Shooting Flames.

An explanation is offered of the "shoot-
ing flames" and "balls of fire." supposed
by some to be disconnected with ordinary
ignition, that may deserve consideration.
When trees or other green woods are
burning, gases are distilled, or evolved,
through the action of the heat. Most of
the gas is likely to be carburetted
hydrogen, such as is used in streets aud
houses. This is thrown up until it meets
the oxygen of the atmosphere, when it is
consumed in the shape of flame. In an
ordinary fire, the air has free access to
the gas as fast as made, and the gas is
consumed at once, without rising. But
when acres of trees or houses are burning,
the air cannot always get into the centre
Of the mass. In other words, the oxygen
Of the air is consumed about the edges of
the connagraton, or before it has peue
trated far into the interior. Hence quail.
ties Of carburetted hydrogen escape un
consumed but heated to very high
temperature, and, being waited by the
winds ahead of the fire, may be rods in
advance Of its bulk, when finally touched
off stray spts of fame or flying fragments
The result is flash much like that of
eunpowder. Frequently during con
fagration, most frequently in great one,
flames are seen flashing high in the air,
to appearance quite disconnected with
the flames below. This is said to be
simply the sudden ignition of a mass of
infammable gas, as it reaches more
abundant supply of oxygen.
