sickness Amongst children.

Seventy-two children under five years
of age died in Pittsburgh last week =
The advice given by the New York
Tribune is therefore timely:
81. Perfect cleanliness is enioined in
every minute particular; the change Of
night and day clothing, clean with each
change.
2. A bed or cot, apart from its moth
er for the child.
8. The house kept scrupulously clean
Walls whitewashed; Stops and garbage
promptly removed, and the air purified
by carbolic acid or quicklime.
4. The child, if sick, must be kept tc
the mothers milk alone, or, if thai
prove insufficient, to goats or cows
milk There is no safe substitute fol
milk to infants who have not cut theil
front teeth. No child should be, wean
ed, as rule, until after it's second sum
mer The food which Nature has pro-
vided will often save the life of chile
when everything else fails.
5. Without the advice of a physician
no child should be given spirits, cor
dials, carminatives, or soothing syrup'
of any kind. Thousands Of children
the physicians add die every year iron
the use Of these poisons.
In fact, the sum and substance o
these directions seem to be simply tt
guard the child against poisoning il
air, foul clothes, food or medicine
which brings us back to the first state
ment that pure country or sea air is tn
only absolute safeguard for the life of
young infant"

10O,S00 times per day; and 96.792,OS(

two ounces of blood is thrown out ol
it, and each day it receives and dischar.
ges about seven tons of that wonder
full fluid. Your lungs will contain S
gallon of air, and you will inhale a.,
600 gallons per day. The aggregate
surface of the air cells of your lungs
supposing them to be spread out. ex
ceeds 10000 square inches. The weigh
of your brain is three pounds. Wher

more. Your nerves exceed 10,000,00(

three layers, and varies in thickness
The area of your skin is about 1,70(

France Preparing for Another
Grand Struggle with Germany.
Tpsris Letter to the New York Herald

Il Letter 10 tn6 SN6W AOrk Herald.
On the whole, it seems to me that the
omen may be drawn, from the aspect
of the troops on Thursdays parade,
that there is forked lightning in the
thunder cloud Of frances hatred to
Germany and her thirst for revenge
Aspirations for the rsUanche are not
mere brutun, .fuJmen; that / think Gen,
eral Manteufel must have owned to
himself as he sat there incogntto in
plain clothes in back row Of the dip
lomatic tribune. The French mean to
have another wrestie for the fall-that
every one who knows the nation knows
But every one did rot know what l
think this review goes to show, that
their military authorities are working
assiduously for the end, that when the
combatants shall grapple, as grapple
they must, the issue will not be by a
long way SO nearly foregone conclu
sion as most people have been content
to assume it. If France can contain
herself, and meanwhile work as she has
worked in the past two years, the strug
gle will be a Titantic one. She has still
an immensity to do; indeed, she has
scarcely vet begun the work she has set
herself But in ten years time, in ac-
cordance with the dispositions of her
new military law, she will be able to set
in line over 100000 men, without call
ing out the reserves With them her
military strength will number 100000
trained soldiers. The second act, just
passed, providing for organization, as
the first does for recruiting, enacts that
wholesome decentralization, the lack OF
which contributed as much as any thing
to Frances downfall in the late war
With eighteen well-organized and equip
ped army corps, each with its own staff
and its own province to recruit from,
with powerful artillery and arms Of
precision second to pone in the world
and with strength In fighting men oI
a million and quarter, who shall say
that France shall not have made good
her title to re-enter the ranks of the
great military powers? And all this
that write of she has deliberately sci
herself to accomplish within ten years

TA man out in Montana, short
time ago, squatted on another persons
land and built frame shanty. When
requested to move he positively refused
TO do SO; so, one night, squad of men
came around after the squatter and his
wife were asleep, and lifting the whole
concern, shanty and all, with deliberate
care carried it to the river and set it on
small raft. Then they pushed the
raft out into the stream and let her 60.
When the squatter got up to go ont in
the morning, he was surprised to find
himself about sixty miles down stream,

august o,
The receipts of cattle during the
week have been large, but not in excess
of the demand, in fact all that are offer
ed can be readily sold. Hogs have i'm.
proved in number, but there has been
an almost entire absence of sheep, but
two head having been sold in the stock
yards
CATTLE-Prices are firm for GOOD
cattle at 4 %, while medium and infe
rior sell at 90 to 8 25 per cwt. Sales
include 1l2 head at 8 90 to 25. The
average price is about 3 rs.
HOGS-The arrivals though greatly
in excess of last week are still
light. Sales include 40 head at 5 OF
per cwt.
SHEEP-None offering. The de
mand is active at 4a4a cents.
LAMBS-Sales of five head of lamb
at so each. We have an idea tina
prices for both sheep and lambs will
range higher because of the short sup
ply.
