What Public Men Owe to Newspapers.

Col. Forney complains, in we'll
written article IN the Philadelphia
Press, that public men are, as a class,
ungrateful to the newspapers and the
journalists to whom they, in many In
stances, owe their position. Nobody is
more competent to speak on this SUBJ
ject than Col. Forney himself. He
has made more statesmen out of small
material than any other man n Amer
lea. He has taken a more active part
in the personnel of American politics
In the last twenty years than almost
any other man. Much of his work has
been that of a politician rather than that
of a journalist but in either capacity
he has always been able to serve his
friends well, and he has always served
them faithfully. His reward has been
very small. If he had let politics alone
and devoted himself exclusively to jour
nalism, he might have made greater
name than Greeley's, and far greater
fortune than Benefits. But he was al
ways fond of helping some friend to an
Office, and always had a taste for politi-
cal intrigue with a purpose of this kind.
His experience has, no doubt, been that
of hundred others, who have operated
In the same way on small scale. Make
a Governor out of an Alderman to- day,
and tomorrow he'll tell you that he
owes his elevation to bis own superior
merits. Forney made a President of
the United States out of James Buch-
anan-but before the old public func-
tionary had taken his seat he repudiated
his patentee and manufacturer in most
ungrateful manner. Congressman are
made by country newspapers, yet when
they go to Washington it wouldn't be
safe to tell them so.-.T. Louis Repub-

Edmund Burke's Remedy.

A correspondent writes to the Chicago
Tribune: People pay physicians for re-
minding them of what they themselves
know, or ought to know. The simplest
remedies are, generally speaking, more
efficacious than the most complicated
compounds. and the household often
contains specifics not to be found at any
drugstore. Edmund Burke speaks, in
one of his letters, of a very simple, yet
efficacious, remedy which he employed
whenever troubled with headache, colds,
etc. 1t was to drink or sip hot mot
warm) water as fast as he could swallow
it. The effect was better, he said, be-
fore than after meals, and was seen in
a healthful perspiration, which, getting
up circulation, freed the system from
such impurities as caused the sickness
or pain. Burke was so enthusiastic a
believer in hot water as a medicine
that he maintained it would cure al
most any disease to which flesh is heir.

Avoid the PeriIs of the season.

Autumn although the most radiant portion of
the American year, has its drawbacks. The heavy
evening dews and morning vapors and the great
disparity in temperature between the night and
day, give rise TO many painful disturbances Of the
bowels, such collie, cholera morbus, diarrhea
and dysentery. The digestive organs also I'M
favorably affected by the change of season, and
dyspeptics generally suffer most severely during
the fall. arrangements of the liver are likewise
common, and miasmatic fevers prevail in newly

ties. These unpleasant contingencies Of the sea-

Strength of Timber

The strength OF piece of timber de-
ponds upon the part of the tree from
which it was taken. Up to a certain
age, the heart of the tree is the best
after that period. it begins to fail grad
ually. The worst part OF the tree Is
the sap-wood, which is next the bark.
1t is softer than the other parts of the
wood, and is liable to premature decay.
The deleteriOus component of the sap
wood is absorbed, if the tree is allowed
to grow for longer period, and in time
the old sap-wood becomes proper tim
ber-fiber similar to the heart-wood.
Hence, the goodness of a tree, for tim
Der purposes, depends on the age at
which the tree was cut down. When
young, the heart wood is the best; al
maturity, with the exception of the sap
wood, the trunk is equally good
throughout; and, when the tree is al
lowed to grow too long, the heart-wood
is the first to show symptoms of weak
ness, and deteriorates gradually.
The best timber is secured by telling
the tree at the age of maturity, which
depends on its nature, as well as ON the
soil and climate. The ash, beech, elm
and fir are generally considered at their
best when of seventy or eighty years
growth, and the oak is seldom at It's
best In less time than one hundred
years, but much depends on surround
ing circumstances. As a rule, trees
should not be cut before arriving at
maturity, because there is then toe
much sap-wood, and the durability OF
the timber is much inferior to that OF
trees felled after they have arrived al
their full development.
