American Inciyility.

A writer in Scri6ner's says: cit is
not unjust to declare that there is in
America to-day no attempt, distinctive
ly and definitely made, to cultivate a
spirit of reverence in children. We
acknowledge that we have no faith in
any attempt to reform the manners of
the adult population of the country.
Our efforts to make sober men out of
drunkards and total abstinence men out
of moderate drinkers are failures. Our
temperance children are to be made en-
tirely out of children. We can raise
more Christians by juvenile Christian
culture than by adult conversion, a
thousand to one. So it will be in this
matter of politeness. The parents and
teachers of the country can give us a
polite people, and this by the cultiva-
ton of the principle OF reverence not
only, but by instruction in all the forms
of polite address. With a number of
things greatly needed to-day in home
culture ano school training this matter
of training in good manners is not the
least. Indeed, we are inclined to think
it is of paramount Importance. 1t
should become matter of text books at
once. A thorough gentleman or lady,
who has brains enough to comprehend
principles while proficient in practice,
could hardly do better service to the
country than prepare book for parents
and teachers as at once guide to them
and to those who are under them.
Children must be trained to politeness
or they will never be polite. They must
drink politeness In with their mothers
milk it must be exacted in the family
and neighborhood relations, and boys
and girls must grow up gentlemen and
ladies in their department, or our ma
ton can never be thoroughly polite
one-polite in soul as we'll as in cere-
mony, and kind In manner as well as
kind In heart"
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1874-09-17

1t has also been attempted, through a
commission of DISTINGUISHED men, to
procure for the public all information
requisite to further legislation on this
subject. The law is believed 30 be
fair one for a first effort, and your Exc
cutive has done every thing in his power
to enforce it. If he has not yet sue
ceeded it has been because the railroad
companies have conspired together to
resist not only its enforcement, but the
enforcement of any law which looks to a
limitation of their powers. The con-
fict is not yet ended. How soon this
expectation shall become q reality de-
pends upon the people'sloyalty to them
selves and to the principles of free gov
eminent. That the power thus regained
will be used by the people with justice
and moderation, l firmly believe.
When the victory is fully won, three
most important results will have been
secured: j. The people will be more
equally, fairly and cheaply served. 2.
Railway transportation will become a
legitimate as well as more profitable
business. 3. Capitalists, home and
foreign, being protected by the State,
will have degree of security impossi-
BILE SO long as their property is con-
trolled by corporation managers acting
wholly independent of law.

Chinese Companions.

Almost every Chiaaman in Picking
(writes foreign correspondent walks
about with bird on stick which he
carries in his hand There is a cross
stick on the top as perch, and the bird
is fastened by string. A Picking man
seems always to hl7e his bird with him.
What a dog is to ar, Englishman, such
is bird to a Chinaman. Some persons
even convey bird in each hand. 9th
ers use small, neat, round cages. The
birds are trained to fly in the air in pc
culiar whirls, and return to the hand.
They will fly in circles over the head
while the owner throws up seeds, which
they catch in passing. 1t is beautiful
to see how perfect the birds are in per-
forming various feats of this kind how
tame and docile their training has
made them; how quick they are to
obey, and with what confidence thew re-
turn to their master.

A Good Suggestion.

A saving woman at the head of the
family is the very best savings bank
established nereceiving deposits daily
and hourly, with no costly machinery
to manage it. The idea of saving is q
pleasant one, and if the women would
imbibe it at once, they would cultivate
and adhere to it, and, when they were
not aware of it, would be laying the
foundation of a security in storm time
and shelter in rainy day. The woman
who sees to her own house has large
field to work in. The best way to make
her comprehend it is to have an ac-
count kept of all current expenses.
Probably not one woman in ten has an
idea how much are the expenditures of
herself and family. Where from one to
two thousand dollars are expended an
nually, there is chance to save some
thing if the effort is made. Let the
housewife take the idea, act upon it,
and she will save many dollars
perhaps hundreds-where before she
thought. it impossible. This is duty,
yet not prompting of avarice, but a
moral obligation that rests upon the
woman as well as upon the man.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1874-09-17
Fish as Brain Food.

The idea that fish diet, or, at least,
the frequent use of fish as diet, is pro-
motive of brain power, seems to be
growing; and the philosophy of it is
said to be that the phosphorus con-
tanned In fish acts benefcially on the
brain.
Looking at what is called the lower
animals, it is true that considerable
amount of intellect is to be observed in
those that feed exclusively on fish.
Learned seals are very common access
SORES to shows. OF all wise animals
the otter is one of the most intelligent
and easily domesticated and with rs-
gard to the feathered race, wonderful
stories are told about the instinct of
storks and other fish eating birds.
1t does not appear to have been salts
factorily demonstrated, however, that
intellect is developed in the human race
by frequent use of fish diet. To arrive
at conclusion respecting this, it would
be necessary to obtain trustworthy
statistics with regard to the mental
powers of fish eaters. Our own obser-
walton is that those who live much upon
fish-as. for example, the inhabitants
of fishing villages-are not specially
distinguished for mental vigor, though
their animal power cannot be ques-
toned.

Vessels on Rollers.

NJ. A. Huet, a French engineer, holds
it to be O mistake to make ships force
their bulk through the water, meeting
thereby the large opposing surface of
water and a sliding friction over the
whole Of their immersed surface. This,
nj. Huet holds, is as great mistake as
if we were to dismount our railway car
riages from their wheels and drag them
like sledges along the rails. He puts
forward the theory that vessels should
be mounted on rolling drums; that
these drums should give principally the
power of fotation, and that they should
be driven round as paddles to move the
ship forward. We should in this way
have floating locomotive, mounted on
its supporting wheels or rollers. The
vessels would offer no resistance but a
rolling one to motion, and the whole of
the supported weight of the ship would
be used as a pressure to give adhesive
fractional effect to the rollers, In this
way M. Huet afTirms that a velocity
equal to that of our railroad trains might
be attained at sea.

which will commend themselves to every

which will commend themselves to every
horseman
Potatoes or carrots may be given once
or twice week to good advantage.
See that your horse is kept clean,
warm and comfortable, with plenty of
bedding.
A piece of rock salt should always be
left in the manager.
See that the harness is kept soft and
clean, particularly the inside Of the col
lar, which ought always to be smooth,
as the perspiration, when dry, causes
irritation, and is liable to produce gals
on the shoulder.
The collar should fit closely, with
space enough at the bottom to admit a
mans hand. If too large it has the
bad effect of drawing the shoulders to-
gether.
On no consideration should team or
any work horse be compelled to wear a
martingale, as it draws the back down,
and prevents him from getting into an
easy and natural position.
The check-rein may be used, but only
tight enough to keep the head in a
natural position, and it should never be
wound around the names.
See that the names are buckled tight
enough at the top to bring the draft
iron near the center of the collar. Ii
too low, it not only interferes with the
action of the shoulder, but gives the
collar an uneven bearing.
Caution should be taken that the
girth is not buckled too tight, particu-
lsrly on string teams, for when the
traces are Strengthened, it has the tend
ency to draw the girth against the belly,
and distress the horse.
See that the horse is kept well shod,
with good stiff shoe, always calked at
toe, and heel on hind feet, as it is there
where all the propelling power comes
from when heavily loaded.
Keep the feet good and strong, by
not allowing them to be cut away too
much by the blacksmith.
The best of judgment should be used
In loading, taking into consideration the
condition of the street, and the distance
Neveroverload, for by odoingyou only
distress, strain, and discourage your
horse, and do him more injury than
you can possibly gain by carrying the
load.
When your load is hard to pull, stop
often, and give your horse a chance to
breathe.
No good driver will ever resort to the
cruel practice of whipping or beating
his horse. A light whip may be car
ried, but there is seldom use for it.
Much more can be accomplished by
kind treatment and good judgment.
Remember the horse is very intelli-
gent, proud, sensitive, noble animal, the
most useful known to man and is de-
serving of the greatest kindness.
