Vitality of the Human Species.

The first six months of child's life
are too uncertain to base any calculations
upon. On the other hand, after the
expiration of the first year, the chances
are even that the child will live to the
age of thirty three; between ten and
fifteen years of age life is most secure,
and the probabilities are even that it will
live forty. three years longer.
Of a million of people, 593 AGO will be
found to be between the ages of fifteen
and sixty and nearly one half of them
are men, this number of inhabitants could,
on an emergency, furnish $50, 600 capable
of bearing arms, even if an allowance be
made for the sick, the lame, ETC., who
may be supposed to be among that mum
Der. This will explain the capacity of
such countries as the United States and
Prussia, where the volunteer and military
system is so developed, for putting such
vast numbers of fighting men in the field
when necessity has required them.
1t has been proved that the number of
males that are born exceeds that of the
females this is a striking instance of the
wisdom of Providence, which has thus
provided for the preservation of the hu-
man race. Men, in consequence of the
active life for which they are destined by
their strength and courage, are exposed
to more dangers than the female sex
war, long sea voyages, employments
laborious or prejudicial to the health and
dissipation, carry off great numbers of the
males and it thence results, that if the
number of the latter born did not exceed
that of the females, the males would rapi
dly decrease and soon become extinct.

How to Get a Dinner.

A gentleman who had travelled abou
pretty extensively, was greatly perplexed
to understand how it was that other per
sons were waited upon promptly and vel
served at the hotels, while he was almost
entirely ignored, and could scarcely OBJ
tain square meal, complain to and swear
at the walters as he might. AT last his
eyes were opened to the dodge of fleeing
the walters literally, and being of an in.
genious turn of mind, he determined to
improve on the plan.
The next hotel he dined at, he took
his seat very pompously at the table, and
took out we'll filled pocket, book, extract
ed therefrom ten dollar bill, which he
laid on the white cloth beside his plate,
and placed his goblet upon it. In an in
slant, alone, he was surrounded by wait
ers, who seemed to vie with each other
in attentions. Every wish was anticipat-
ed, and all the deicacies of the kitchen
and pantry were placed before him in
tempting array.
Having Jared as sumptuously as a
prince (to the envy of many of the guests
ne TOOK up the greenback, and, beckon-
ing to the nearest waiter, was immediate.
ly besieged by half dozen or so. Hold
ing the bill in one hand, he pointed to it
with the other, aud inquired of the
crowd:
"Do you see that bill ?"
"Oh, yes, sir !' they all exclaimed in
chorus.
"Then take good look at it," he re-
piled, 'for you will never see it again"
Saying which he departed, leaving the
walters aghast.

A Word TO Wool Growers

The Washington Reporter says: As
the season for preparing wool for market
is almost at hand, it is important that
growers should give attention to the mat
ter of caring for their wool in order that
it should command the highest market
price. All have noticed that those far
mers who wash their wool the cleanest,.
and put it up the neatest have command
ed the best prices, for several years past.
There is growing disposition on part of
manufacturers to discriminate in regard
to the condition as well as quality of wool,
and this feeling is likely to have an i'm
portant bearing upon the rates this sea-
son. There is also another reason why
farmers should be more careful in getting
up their clips. For several years Wash
ington county has been rapidly losing its
position as a first class wool growing dis
trict. This is in consequence of the dis
position to breed heavy greasy sheep, and
negligence in washing. This condition
of things has materially reduced the aver
age price of our wool, and will continue
to do so without it is speedily corrected.
This is question in which growers are
mutually interested, as by improving or
lowering the general character of their
woods they can elevate or depress prices.
This affects all not only those that me-
glect their woods but also those that are
more careful. Washington county wool
growers, if they would regain the high
character for that staple that they had
years ago, must adopt better mode of
their clips. Their county pro-
duces as good wool as any other region,
and if we do not get as good prices it is
the fault of the growers themselves.

A Thief Betrayed by Chewing Plug To-
baccO.

! Some time ago registered letter was
forwarded to Chicago which ought tc
have contained five hundred dollar bills
But when the envelope was opened, the
money was missing. As usual in such
cases, the matter was placed in the hands
of an experienced and skillful gentleman
assigned to the duty of bringing criminals
to justice, with instructions to mako a
thorough and rigid investigation. The
envelope appeared to be intact but the
officer took it, soaked it in water, and
carefully oemoved thre porion where the
sealing process had been effected. By the
assistance of a microscope, he found that
small PARTICLES of plug tobacco adhered to
the paper, and from this fact became con-
vinced that whoever wet the mucilage of
the envelope, must have used that descrip-
ton of the weed.
The officer determined, in the first
place, to ascertain if any one connected
with any of the Offices through when the
letter had passed, used tobacco of that
description. Office after Office was visited
from Chicago to the locality where the
letter was first mailed, but in not one of
these was there single person who
masticated anything but "fue cut" In
the last Office, the postmaster was an old
friend of the detective, who was consider
ed to be an upright man. He was loud
in his denunciations of the crime. The
Chicago official had not the slightest
suspicion in the direction of his honest
country postmaster; but he had asked so
many persons for ga chew" that the habit
had grown upon him, and addressing the
worthy 2. NJ, by name, he said, "Will
you give me chew of tobacco 2" "Real-
ly," was the reply, don't think I have
any tobacco that you would use. never
cheU anything but plug"
The conviction was forced upon the
officers mind that his friend was the
thief. Acting upon this conviction, he
arrested the postmaster, and, having pro-
cured search warrant, found the FIVE
one hundred dollar bills secreted in a
daguerreotype case, such as were used
years ago, carefully folded up behind the
picture. The mystery was solved. The
postmaster was tried in the United States
Court in Chicago, convicted, and may
now be found at Joliet, where he is work
ing out the penalty assessed for his crime.

Keeping Hams.

We have mode of keeping hams
through summer, which, works so well
that to with hold it longer from the pub
lie would hardly be acting a patriotic
part. Here it is
Have a sack made of cheap m~slin, or
domestic, somewhat longer than is re-
quircd to merely hold the ham. Then
gather some dry broom sedge and chop
it finely in your cutting box, or if you
happen to be minus such contrivance,
chop it with hatchet or ak. Place a
few handfuls of this in the bottom of your
sack, and then, having wrapped news
paper nicely around your ham, slip it in
upon the chopped sedge. Proceed next
to fill up the sack by ramming your chop
ped sedge tightly around the ham on all
sides-the size of the sack should allow
of its being an inch thick. Sew or tie it
up, and the work is done.
Hams put up in this way will keep for
years through all kinds of weather, for
while the sedge is cooling in its effect, il
absorbs the moisture attracted by the SALT,
and bars off the fly. We take it that
straw or thoroughly dried grass of almost
any kind would answer, though We have
no experience with anything save broom
sedge.

A Precious Scoundrel--A Man with Six
Wives.

The Troy Times gives the outlines of
the career of a travelling doctor, who is
shown up at length in the Erie Dispatch.
The former paper says his pompous man
ner and volubility of tongue have give
him the name of DR.. Whistlewiud, but
his real name is Seymour p. Taylor
He is the husband of six wives, and the
father of no end of children 1t says fur
ther: The doctor is shoemaker by trade,
and his first matrimonial adventure was
with an actress in circus. The charms
of a pretty Quakeress induced him to de-
sert his wife and their two children, and
he married the former. living with her
until her death, which was caused by the
explosion of kerosene lamp. The doc
tor next married his servant girl. Then
he eloped with patient from Sycracuse,
Mrs. Duesenbury, for whom he seems
to have had a genuine affection, living
with her for the long period of fifteen
years. The doctor next turned up at
Lansingburgh, when he represented him
self to be a widower. He was poorly
clad, and seemed to have suffered hard
times. He there opened medicinal Of
flee, and became acquainted with Mrs.
Francis NJ, who became his fifth wife,
and who, since learning his true charac-
ter, is likely either to bring him to JUS
tice or make the country too hot to hold
him. He married her in Troy four years
ago, one Of his sons and Mrs. King be-
ing the witnesses. She was worth SS,-
600, and she gave him 81 900 as a wed
ding present, to set up a country shoe
store in North Corinth, but he ran through
it, laid around drunk, and in three months
had only a few dollars LETT. Before leav-
ing North Corinth, however, an officer
came with warrant for obtaining goods
under false pretences. He appealed to
his wife, and she paid $475 to save him
from punishment. While getting ready
to emigrate to Erie, wife No. 4, Mrs Du-
senbury, made her appearance, and de-
manded that he should come and live
with her and her three children. He
denied, in presence of wife No. 5, that
he had been married to No. 4. She said
she could bring proof enough, but if he
would do something for the support of
the children she would not prosecute
He had swindled a shoe manufacturer at
Albany out of over 800 worth of goods,
and these he packed in box and told
his, late companion to take them and sell
them for the benefit of herself and child
rem. He then started for Erie with wife
No. 5, but after short time married a
sixth wife in that place and put for parts
unknown. The last time he was heard
from he was in South Bend, Indiana
The Troy lady and wife No. are both
after him and he can hardly hope to es-
cape both-at least from the clutches of
the former. Brigham Young would give
great deal for the Doctor out in Utah.

NO. 5:
Scab on Sheen.

Two or three years ago | addressed a
letter to Dr. H. S. Randall author of the
practical Shepherd" making inquiry
whether tobacco ooze alone, unmixed with
other ingredients, would cure scab on
sheep. His reply was that he did not
know certainly that it would, giving his
experience in treating the disease as de-
tailed in his practical Shepherd. -
Since my correspondence with the doc
tor, L have become cognizant of two facts
that prove to my mind that it will, if pro-
perly applied, accomplish the purpose
The facts are briefly as follows:
Two years ago last May, one Of my
neighbors, Mr.. Samuel Hamat, dipped
his flock in tobacco ooze, and it entirely
cured them, but prevented them from
contracting the disease again, although
they run on the common mixing with
other scabby sheep. At the sheering the
following spring, there was noappearance
of scab so far as the eye could detect it
The other fact is this: Last May dip
ped my own flock, numbering about 500
head, in tobacco ooze, and at this date,
March 9th there is no appearance of scab
on the sheep, although they run on the
common with many other sheep that were
diseased with the scab. Now if it can
be established beyond doubt that this
treatment will cure the disease, and pro-
tect the sheep from contracting from one
sheering until the next one, there will be
no excuse for having this loathsome, awful
disease in the country, and millions wilp
be added to the value of this kind of farm
stock Cor. Prdirie En1nler.
