has been known in England during The century, will
be understood from the following extracts from DR..
Buchanan's report:
The camp latrines consist of ten blocks, two OF
which are for particular use. Passing over the latter

enough to give an account of the public IatrIncs.
These contain in all one hundred and fourteen closets
and forty-six urlDaIs. The largest block consists OF
ffv-six closets and sixteen urinalS, the smallest Of
eight closets and two urinaIs, being placed in rows,

1T both ends of the passage Of the main block, ana one
end in the others the whole is covered over and fenc-
ed in, in such a way MS to allow very ample play OF
air through the structure. Every part of the block and
of the structures of the closets and urinals IS made OF
new pine boards, not painted or otherwise covered,
fitted together in frames, so that the wood may be
easily removed and used up for other purposes.
Underneath each row of closets and urlhals IS "A
nit, into which all stools and urine fall, and in which
they are covered up with dry earth. These pits on
either side Of the central passage are some four ard a
half feet deep by five feet wide, are dug simply into the

Always Neat.

Some folks are very charming at
evening parties. but surprise ttcm in
the morning, when not looking for
company, and the enchantmcnl is gone,
There is good sense in the following
advice to young ladies':
Your everyday toilet is q part of
your character. A girl who looks like
a "lury" or "sloven" in the morn
ing, is not to be trusted, however fine
~ she may look in the evening. No
matter how humble your room may be-,
there are eight things it should contain
ii mirror, II washstand, soap, towel,
comb, hair.brush, nail brush and tooth.
brush. These are just as essential as
your breakfast, before which you
should make good use Of them. Pa.
rents who fail to provide their children
with such appliances, not only make
= gross mistake. but commit a sir of
omission.
Look tidy in the morning, and after
DINNER work Is Z improve your tot
let. Make tia rrle Of your daily life
to dress up for the afternoon. Your
dress may not or need not be anything
better than calico, but with a ribbon,
or some bit Of ornament, you can have
an air Of sclf-respcct and satisfaction
that invariably ZONES with being we'll
dressed.
A girl with fine sensibilities cannot
help feeling embarrassed and awkward
in a ragged and dirty dress, with her
hair uukcmpt, should a stranger or
ncighbor come in. Moreover your
self,respcct should demand the decent
apparcllng Of your body, You should
make it a point to look as well rs you
can, even it you know nobody will see
you.

Home pOliteneSS for Little Folks.

Parents, as soon as your little ones
begin to totter about and speak, say
l%ispingIy, "ma,' and "pa,' that very
instant teach them courtesy, good
manners, to use correct language,
chase, delicate, refined, avoiding every
thing vulgar, uncouth, clownish, in
delicate or ungramatical. Even baby
| lips can be taught refinement, courtesy,
poli'eness of manners, things delicate,
tasteful, beautiful, heavenly--the little
words please" and "thank YOU" when
favors are conferred and far easier
will they learn than older children.
What is termed baby talk when ad-
dressed to children old enough to I'm
derstand and initiate it is u~etcstable.
The parent must remember that when
u chlld a comprehend one word its
education is begun. The mother cs
pccially, is called to otliciate as pro
lessor Of languages in the domestic
university. But who, in teaching Il
foreigner the English language, would
say 10 him that until he became far.
Their advanced he must call a horse Il
horscy," or dog a how wow,''
and that for the present he will al
dress his maternal parent as his mud
dcr"' This seems sufficiently ridicu
lous; but this is not all it would be
unjust to the learner; it would teach
him pronunciaLions which he must un.
learn as lahoriously as he learned them.
You would thus, in fact double his
task. The folly and injustice are the
same when you teach Il little child to
speak a distorted, mangled, burlesque
language, of which ii becomes ashamed
when Older and tries to u~nlearn it.
Little folks should be taught correc,
language rs early as possible not Il
sip Of the tongues hould pass without
correction. We advise all young PEG.
pie to acquire in early lite the habit OF
using good language, both in speaking
and in writing, and to abandon forever
the use OF slang words and phrases,
else the unfortunate victim Of neglec
ted education is very probably doomed
to talk slang for lie.

cnt unenviable position as second in the

cnt Tennessee needs nothing SO much

school system. 1t must be evident to
every one who will for Il moment *
anime the subject, that money judi
ciously spent in this direction will re.
turn eventually an hundred fold to the

course in this regard,
There certainly will be no n thing
to be accomplished BY the Legislature
Of more vital importance to the State
than The establishment Of a thoroug!

This can be accomplished without il

Baxter, the ncwly-inaugurated Radi.
ical Governor of Arkansas, though not
legally elected, o%vinces Il disposition
to comply with his fair promises made
to the Democrats of that State. In his
message he urges the repeal of the dis.
franchising clauses in the Arkansas
constitution. An amendment looking
to this end was introduced in the Leg.
islature at its last session but was laid
over, and m up for action before
the present body. 1t is likely 1t will
be passed and submitted to the people,
who will be very glad to ratify it.
When this is accomplished the pros.
cribed class will swell the ranks Of the
rcformers, and we may expect other
reforms no less benificent and impor-
tant. 1t will bring to the ballot-box
again much intelligence that has tor a
long time been banIshed from it, and
greatly revive the withered hopes of
