Action Respecting Forests.

A very important bill was introduced
into the last U. s. Congress by Mr..
Haldeman, of Pennsylvania, and has
now become o law. 1t provides that
every future sale Of government land
shall be with the condition that at least
ten per cent. of the timbered land shal!
be kept perpetually as woodland and
if the land be not timbered, then the
patent is to be issued on the condition
that ten per cent. of the quantity is to
be planted with forest trees within ten
wears, and kept forever as woodland.
If this be done, an abatement of fifty
per cent. is TO be made on account OF
the expense Of the planting. A viola
tion Of this agreement is to be met by
the forfeiture of the land. 1t is also
proposed that any one who may wish
to acquire title to the public land, under
the homestead act, can do 30 by proof
of the fact that he has had, at the end
of three years after taking possession, at
least one acre under cultivation with
timber for two years, and that this shall
be continued until one acre in every ten
is planted with trees, in clusters not
more than sixteen feet apart.

Beauty Of Chinese Bridges.

Some Of the bridges in China are OF
extraordinary beauty and magnifcence.
There is one near Pekin built entirely
of white marble, elaborately ornament
ed. Others are found over the canals
of still greater magnifcence and with a
grand triumphal arch at each end and
some, instead of being built with arches,
are fiat from one side Of the canal to the
other, marble flags of great length being
laid on piers so narrow and airy that the
bridge looks as if it were suspended In
the air. From the amazing facilities
afforded by the numerous canals for
transportation of goods by water, these
bridges do not require to be built OF
great strength, for only foot-passengers
use use the bridges, which is the reason
they are of such an elegant and fancifui
construction. These bridges are built
with q number of arches, the central
arch being about forty feet wide, and
high enoug gh for vessels to pass without
striking their masts. The great eleva-
tion of these bridges renders steps nec-
essary. They resemble, in this respect,
the old bridges of Venice, on whichyou
ascend by steps on one side, and de-
scend on the other in the same way.
Chain bridges were not made In this
country for more than eighteen centu-
ries after they were known and used IN
China

Bad Shots.

A California correspondent from the
lava beds says it is no disparagementto to
the soldier to say, GAS rule, they are
not good Shots" for such is the fact.
This, take it, is owing to two causes:
First, they are not drilled enough at
ta,geeshooting Second, the guns all
shoot too high and wide. especially
after being fred q number OF rounds; 1
think I am q pretty good shot with q
rife or a six-shooter but I know q
Modoc would be tolerably safe before
me with an army gun-either carbineor
Springfield musket. I have tried them,
and, while you can shoot fast and at q
long distance, they will not do for tar
get work; and that is just what shoot
Ing at Modocs is-and very small tar
get they are, too, generally speaking.
The safety of our men during the late
fight was owing, in great measure, 70
the fact that the guns used by the MO.
docs were those captured in the fight OF
the 18th of January, and almost invar-
ably they shot over their mark.

A Remedy for Rheumatism.

It has long been commonly believed
that the water in which unpeeled pota-
toes have been boiled is poisonous. 1t
is now said to have been discovered that
this poison, like many others, possesses
certain remedial properties.
The disease for which it is particu-
larly recommended is rheumatism, and
there is some evidence which goes to
show that the belief in its efficacy is not
without beneficial effect.
A laborer, wilhelm state OF perspira-
ton, few days ago, became chilled by
a sudden fall Of rain. This brought on
an attack of rheumatism, which made
him 80 lame that he was quite unable
to pursue his usual avocation. The
potato water was recommended to him.
he tried il in the evening, and much TO
his surprise, found himself on the fol-
lowing morning as well as usual: be
believed the result was attributable to
the use of the potato water.
Another case was that Of o man who
had been drenched by exposure to Q
cold storm. The second day afterward
he was seized with sharp pains OF al
most unbearable severity, and indica-
tive of inaammatory rheumatism. He
used the potato water, and experienced
immediate relief from intense suffer-
ing.
This remedy should be used only ex.
ternally. The potatoes should be boiled
with the skins on, and the water applied
as hot as it can be borne, to the part
affected, by rubbing. OF course we
know nothing as to whether 1t would
produce any such effect in other cases
as it seems to have had in these two:
Carrying raw potato in the pocket
has O similar effect. Many very serious
cases of rheumatism have been eff
fectually cured by this very simple
thing

Disappointed.

I thought, tonight, to see thy face,
And mourn not for the sun gone down;
But now the shadow in his place
Hangs on my cheated heart its frown.
I could not doubt that thy dear voice
Would cheer me more than bird or Lutte
How can my heart tonight rejoice,
With bird and string and voice all mute
The breath Of june upon my cheek
I bore, impatient for thy kiss;
Ny fainting lips their anguish speak,
The sweetness Of thy breath to miss.
Oh, why did thy sweet steps delay,
Since bird and song and breeze are gone
Sighted for hope Of thee, the day!
Without thee night puts sackcloth on!
Were away, thou shouldst not chide
) One needless moment Of delay;
I seek my sunshine at thy side
Thy voice my song, thy smile my day.

tions are making for observing it, and pay

going to be done in Oskaloosa? Are We
going to let it pass by without doing our
duty in this matter? II those who fell
lighting for our country could afford to lose
their lives, we certainly can spend one day
in paying honors to them. The Both OF
May is getting to be observed as much as
any other national day. The President OF
the United States has ordered all govern
ment offices closed at Washington on that
day, and OF course it is expected that all
offices outside of that city do likewise.

MAHASKA COUNTY NORMAL INSTE
TiITE
Preparation for Winter Schools, com.
mencing July 18th, 1873, to continue
six weeks.

The time usually given at our County
Institutes is so short as to render them in
sufficient for the thorough study of any
branch. Many teachers have long since
| learned, that merely listening to success
sion of lectures will never give one def
mite or thorough knowledge of any subject.
Hence while our County Ins titutes are do.
ing good work they are falling far short
OF what majority of the common school
teachers want. This fact has induced us to
establish Normal Institute in addition to
the regular Institute, and make ample ar
rangements to accommodate teachers, who
during their vacation wish to study or re-
view any of the common branches thor
oughly, and obtain tie best methods of
teaching them. Opportunity will also be
given for studying many of the higher
branches.
Physiology will receive special attention
with the use the skeleton and chart q
reasonable knowledge of the science can
be gained In the time devoted to the Insti
tute.
Geography and Guyot's system of map
drawing and Spencerisn Penmanship will
not be forgotten. A training class will al
so be organized and conducted under the
direct supervision of National Normal
Graduate.
Arrangements are being made for two
public lectures each week in the court
room. Arrangements have also been made
for boarding, so that board will not exceed
$1.75 per week.
Prof. Hull, of Oskaloosa College, and
Prof. Woody, of Union College, of Oska.
loosa, will devote their time to the work.
The day session will be held in Oskaloo-
