ELIGIBILITY OF LEGlsLAToRs.--1n these
changed times qualifications for office are
rarely considered, Radicals aud Conserva
tives alike couceding that Il mere fact OF
being elected is sufficient proof of the Ell
6ciency of the successful aspirant. With re-
gard to Publications, however, it is diff
tereut, and the disqualification OF members OF
the Eouse Of Delegates is now a.topic Of much
apparent interest among many of the city
politicians, inasmuch as some Ut the candidates
already nominated for that position and
some whose names have been spoken OF
in connection with nomination are sup
posed to be affected by them. The constitu
ton says that Sheritfs shall hold no other
office, and as a sheriff continues to be sheriff
until his successor enters upon the duties of the
Office, it is PLATO that Mr.. O'Neal, one Of the
candidates of the Radicals, is Ineligible. Sy-
phax, the other candidate of that party, IS al
so said by some to be ineligible because he
was elected Clerk of the County Court
aud has never been legally deprived Of that Of
fce The constitution also says that city officers
can hold 20 other Office, and as sergeants can
not resign, it would seen that they, as we'll as
sheriffs, are ineligible.
A careful examination Of the subject will CON
vince any one that neither Sheriff y Neal nor
City Sergeant Steuart will be admitted to seats
in the House of Delegates even lfclected thereto.

A Fathers Advice to a Bride.

SAID a young husband, whose business
speculations were unsuccessful: "My
wifes silver tea set, the bridal gift of a
rich uncle, doomed me to financial ruin
1t involved a hundred unexpected ex-
penses, which, in trying to meet, have
made me the bankrupt that | am" His
is the experience of many others, who,
less wise, do not know what is the goblin
of the house, working its destruction. A
sagacious father of great wealth, exceed
ingly mortified his daughter by ordering
it to be printed on her wedding cards,
mo presents, except such as are adapted
to an income of $1,000 Said he, you
must not expect to begin life in the style l
am able by many years of labor to indulge,
and | know of nothing which will tempt
you to try, more than the well-intentioned
but pernicious gifts of rich friends" Such
advice is timely. If other parents would
follow the same plan many young men
would be spared years of incessant toll
and anxiety; they would not find them
selves on the downward road because
their wives had worn all their salary or
expended it on the appointments OF the
house. The fate of the poor man who
found linchpin and felt obliged to make
a carriage to fit it, is the fate OF the hus-
band who finds his bride in possession OF
gold and silver valuables and no large IN
come to support the owners gold ana

If there is anything in the world to de

race would have died off Doubtless, the
physiologist and the student of dietetics

How to Guard Againts and Treat
Cholera.

The Executive Committee OF the Amer
,can Public Health Association have IS
sued the following circular:
NEW YORK, June Is.
To combat and arrest the progress, ana
nreyent the epidemic prevalence of this scourge
of sanitary negligence, 1t Is necessary thal lne e
inhabitants of every city and town should
promptly resort to the most effectual purlfca-
lion. and the best known means Of dlslnfecton,
and that this sanitary cleansing and prepare
tion should be at once and very thoroughly
carried into effect-before any cases OF choiera
occur-and that in the presence OF the disease
these sanitary duties should be enforced N
every household and throughout the entire
district Experience has proved that the best
wav to prevent both pestilence and panic Is TO
know and prepare for the danger! 1t Is the
onlv wav to deal successfully with cholera.
The local conditions that chiefly promote the
outbreaks and propagation of cholera are Q.)
Neglected privies; CO. filth-sodden grounds;
q ! foul cellars, and filthy or badly-drained
surroundings of dwellings; a. foul and OBJ
structed house-drains; 90 decaying and pu-
crescent msterials whether animal or vegetable
(8 unventilated, damp, and uncleansed dwell
ings and apartments
These Iocaiizing causes of cholera should be
promptly and very thoroughly removed before
: case of the disease appears in the town or
district. and if any sources of putrescence or
Of excessive moisture remain, these should be
controlled by the proper cleansing, drying, and
dsinfection.

Sap-Suckers.

AT meeting Of the Society of Natural
History of the Michigan Agricultural Col
lege, held at Lansing, Mich, Mr.. F. c.
Wells stated that he had recently dissected
quite number of sap suckers (psces pub
escens), and had found in their stomachs,
in some cases twenty larvae of the apple
tree borer, and that the average found in
all was nine; that is good proof of their
usefulness. DR.. Kidzie said he had seen
where sap-suckers had pecked into q
sound and healthy maple tree, where
there appeared to be no insects, and he
thought they were after sap. He re
marked that the holes that they pecked
were always in row running round the
tree Dr. Miles thought that the reason
of this was that they were following up
the trail of some insect. Prof Cook
suggested that in the case of the maple
tree, the insect was the large headed Dor
err, which works at the heart and does
not affect the apparent healthfulness of
the tree 1t is generally believed that
this bird, which is SO universally con-
demned, is really benefit

How to Raise Turkeys.

For several years I had been unsuccess
full, when at last. becoming discouraged
at repeated unsuccess, | determined to
abandon the business, so | sold my tur-
KEYS and rested from my labors for
a time But | noticed that some Of my
neighbors succeeded pretty we'll in rails
ing these birds, and from them | obtained
a few hints, which | thought to put into
practice SO last season | purchased a
hen and few eggs, determining this time
that if | failed | would never make an
other attempt. In a proper course of
time the mother turkey brought off ten
Young birds. | had near at hand an old
house dry and warm, in which L kept
them nights, and on damp, gloomy days,
when | thought it hurttul for them to be
out. Their feed for the first three days
consisted of hard boiled eggs, chopped
fine. which fed them from my hand.
After this, the hard boiled eggs, together
with bread crumbs and other scraps from
the table, all of which we chopped to-
gether fine. On rainy days, when | could
not let them out, | chopped in their food
onion blades, tongue grass or mustard
leaves, which they seemed to relish. l do
not give them raw and uncoOked food,
and for my care have been well reward
ed, for, out of the little brood, | never
lost but one turkey, and that from an IN
Jury which it received; and at Thanks
giving | had some Of the largest and fin
est turkeys in the neighborhood, not only
tasting well, but being the admiration OF
all who saw them.
From my experience, | am convinced
that with little expense, this can be made
pleasant as we'll as remuneratlve busl-
ness-the great essentials being proper
feed and keeping them in warm, dry
place, as they are the first few weeks ten
der and cannot bear the dew and rain.
The feeding of eggs may, to some, seem
extravagant; but if you wish your fowls
to grow fast and gain strength, | think
there is nothing equal to it, as the increase
in growth will by market time compen.

of feed, which is only necessary for the
