The English Parliament passed, at its
last session, a most salutary measure
known as the "Adulteration Bill" 1t
enacts that the manufacturers of cocoa.
mustard, spice, and other commodities
for table use, shall either guarantee the
article pure or label it with the inere-
dients of which it is composed. Why
should not the same idea be intro
duced in this country? We would then
have choice between genuine mustard

To WASH CALIco.-To prevent calico
from fading while washing, infuse three
gills OF salt into four quarts of water;
put the calico in while the water is hot
and let it remain till cold. In this way
the colors are rendered permanent, and
will not fade by subsequent washing.

Weak Backs and Bad Seats.

The small of the back is the weak or
strong point of every person. 1t is the
center of voluntary motion. Nearly three
hundred muscles are directly or indirect
ly connected with the motions of which
the small of the back is the pivotal center
Hence, while those who are strong, and
whose muscular systems are well bal
anced, know nothing of spinal weakness
or vertebral distortion, invalids are for
ever complaining of this part of the body.
One very prominent cause of weak
backs and crooked spines is, the unhygi-
enic and unanatomical seats and benches
of our school-houses, churches and halls;
nor are the seats and benches provided on
steamboats,, railroad cars, or at stations
or ferry-houses any better. 1t is impossi-
BILE for any person to occupy these seats
long without being forced out of shape.
And when school children are confined
to them for several hours a day for months
and years, their backs will inevitably be
more or less weakened, with correspond
ing deformity of body, for life.
If we 60 into private families, even into
the palaces of the opulent, we find the
seats made more for show than for use.
Girls suffer much more by using such
seats than boys, for the reason that boys
are taught to run, jump and exercise
themselves all over and all through, while
girls are expected to keep still and be
pretty.
1t is certainly one of the strangest
problems of the nineteenth century that
no parent, teacher or mechanic, will give
any attention to anatomy or physiology In
the construction of seats for the human
body. Must our chairs, and sofas, and
settees, and divans, and tete-a-tetes, and
pews, forever be dictated by fashion, and
never conformed to nature Must our
tortured bodies forever be compelled to
shape themselves to the seats, instead of
the seats being adapted to our bodies
Go through all the great chair factories
of the country, and you will not find
single article that is not put together in
gross violation of the rules of health or
comfort. If some Cooper, or Peabody,
or Stewart, or Vanderbilt, or Astor,
would invest little million of dollars in
establishing an immense chair-factory
"on strictly hygenic principles" he
would do more to improve human health,
promote longevity and remedy the back
ache, than any medical college in the
land.-Fr0m Bdckache," in Science of

Sound Teeth.

MUsHEs, gruels, puddings and soups
may be made hygienically. But they
should also be eaten hygienically. They
must be chewed, not bolted The nursing
infant masticates its mothers milk, for
which purpose it takes it slowly, drop by
drop. Mastication is for the purpose of
insalivation. Unless food is properly in
salivated, it cannot be well digested. The
teeth are the finest, densest structure of
the body, and this means that they are
intended for hard work.
Eat solid food at every meal and when
you take semi-liquid, or very soft food
of any kind, eat very slowly, and take a
bit of hard bread, cracker, green apple,
or something similar, with it. Then will
your stomach please and be pleased, and
your teeth, like your eyes and nose, and
fingers and toes, will remain to bless and
comfort you to the last If all persons,
after being weaned, would only chew
their food enough, we should hear very
little of aching and rotting teeth, and den
lists would be nowhere.-!Science of

This key was tried, and unlocked the
cryptogram he was at work on.
Applying it to the one given as an illus
tration at the head of this article, we
have the following result:

the second day after / left London. / am quite

you, my letters will necessarily he very short.
'''''' Your James
This is an illustration of the character
of the cryptograms mentioned at the
commencement of this paper. They
were all personal notices, intended only
for the information of those Immediately
interested.
Some were written by transposing the
alphabet in still other forms, but the de-
ciphering was as readily accomplished in
one case as another, by the means have
described.
When a cryptogram is only to be writ
ten, and is not intended for the printer,
characters of the writer's own invention
are generally substituted for those of the
usual alphabet. This gives a look of
greater impenetrability to the manu-
script, but, as will be perceived, the secret
is no more safe when written in a cabalis-
tic character than when a transpostion
of the ordinary letters is employed. The
law of proportion operates precisely alike
in either case.
1t would seem unfortunate if there was
no possibility of constructing an undeci-
pherable cryptogram. In many cases i: is
highly desirable and important to make
records or communications which shall
remain dead letters to all but their proper
owners. Particularly in time of war is
cryptography a valuable art. 1t is posi-
BILE that its importance in this respect may
have led to the invention of what the
French term the chifTe indechitra6le-
undecipherable cipher.
This cipher is very troublesome thing
to use, but it compensates for the trouble
by the security it affords.

Some time after midnight he was de-

found way of entrance into the kitchen,
where he deposited his baggage and re-

The FIRST POCKET.
By ELIZABETH sILL.

By ELIZABETH sILL-
What is this tremendous noisel
What can be the matter,
Willie's coming up the stairs
With unusual clatter.
Now he bursts into the room,
Noisy as a rocket:
Auntie am dve years old
And I've got pocketl"
Eyes as round and bright as stars;
Cheeks like apples glowing;
Heart that this new treasure fills
Quite to overfiowing.
Jack may have his squeaking boots;
Kate may have her locket;
PUe got something better yet
have got pocketr
All too fresh the joy to make
Emptiness q sorrow.
Little hand is plump enough
To fill it'll to morrow.
And, e'cr many days were DER,
Strangest things did stock 1t;
Nothing ever came amiss
To this wondrous pocket
Leather, marbles, bits Of string,
Licorice-sticks and candy,
Stones, ball, his pennies too;
II was always handy.
And. when Willie's snug in bed,
Should you chance to knock ii,
Sundry treasures rattle out
From this crowded pocket
Sometimes Johnny's borrowed knife
Found place within it;
He forgot that he had said,
- I want Ii just a minute"
Once the closet-key was lost;
No one could unlock it:
Where do you suppose it was.-
Down in Willie's pocket!

1t will also be observed that the definite
article the is frequent-recurring word in
English composition.
Taking this as starting point, we ex-
anime the cryptogram given above for a
combination of letters that may represent
the word the. We find the cipher ESQ oc-
curing three times. We infer that this
cipher means the, and our supposition is
further strengthened when we learn that
the character occurs more frequently in
the cryptogram than any other; for, by
reference to the table of proportion above,
it will be seen that the character so oc-
curing can safely be taken to mean 9.
If we are correct so far
