The Juniper girls talked until mid
night. Each had SO much to hear, SO
much to say. Josephine was sure that
Squire Lidden couldn't be quite SO
charming as Horace Fairgrave Janet
was disposed to take all her sisters
rhapsodies as gospel truth, Except where
this comparison came in.
''Now mind, Jenny" said Josephine,
laughing, ''we'u both think our sweet

While Lois actually sang an ancient
love-ditty, as she moved automatically
about the kitchen, and the poor half
witted father, in his big armchair
smiled to see the girls SO happy.
And there was double wedding in
the village church that September-the
end of the Juniper Girls, and the begin
ming of two happy, matronly young
lives.

TAXING CoLD.-One way is to bundle
up in furs, or muffiers, tight about the
neck take brisk walk, go into warm
room-church, lecture-room or concert
sit with your things all on, get warm,
perspire freely, breath vitiated air for
an hour OF two, and when thoroughly re-
Taxed, the pores of the skin all open, go
out into the cold, damp air, and you
will soon begin to SILVER. After having
a chill then send for the doctor, and he
will dose you with something hot; then
go to bed; then if left alone long enough
you may get up in a day or two, and in
a fortnight or SO you may repeat the i'm
prudence. We don't believe in furs,
close, unventiIated, over-heated rooms,
nor in stupid carelessness generally.
There are several other ways to take
cold. We viii mention but one, and
that is to over-eat." Stuff the stomach
with improper food, more than it can
digest, and you viii soon find yourself
'sall clogged up with a cold. You viii
cough or sneeeze, blow your nose, and
wonder how in the world you took such
q cold. Science of Health.

BROTHER .JONATHt This TO

BROTHER JoNATHAN-Thist term. as
applied to the United States, originated
III playful remark of Washington. The
incident is this: When General Wash
ington, after being appointed Comman-
der of the Revolutionary War, went to
Massachusetts to organize it, he found a
great want of ammunition and other
means of defence, and on one occasion
it seemed that no means could be devised
for the necessary safety. Jonathan
Trumbull, the elder, was then Governor of
the State of Connecticut, and Washington,
placing the greatest reliance on his Elk
cellency's Judgment, remarked eve
must consult Brother Jonathan on the
subject The General did so. and the
Governor was successful in supplying
many of the wants of the army, and
thenceforward, when difficulties arose,
and the army was spread over the coun-
try, it became the by-phrasa, eve must
consult Brother Jonathan = and the
name has now become n DESIGNATION for
the whole country, as John Bull has for
England.

EDIBLE NUTS.

Eliam and Galen say that the Arcad-
ians lived on acorns, and the latter adds
that they continued to eat them long af-
ter the rest of Greece had begun to make
use of bread-corn, and that they afforded
quite as good nourishment. Probably
this accounts for the happy condition of
it's people. Other authorities also say
that in the earliest ages man lived on
acorns, and so late as the 10Th century
they were used for bread in France in a
time Of scarcity.
If we accept literally this account Of
the prevalence of this kind Of food, it is
little singular how entirely its use has
disappeared. No civilized Or half-civiI-
lied nation now pretends to enumerate
the acorn among its direct food supplies.
Soyer playfully observes that ''the an
cient food was given up to the animal
which it fattens, and If this last were
eaten, it was no doubt i'll gratitude for
the fruit mankind had SO formerly much
loved" For ourselves, we hardly adj
mire the taste or the wisdom of the
change; but then it shows our versatil-
ity, and leaves room to hope that we
may yet outgrow the hog as completely
as we have outgrown the acorn. Per-
haps, indeed, we may yet come back to
its use, lntelligently and probably.
Acorns certainly do contain much nutri-
ton, and some varieties, like the white
oak and the burr-oak, are very paletabIe,
though they are not often used at table,
where alone they could be satisfactorily
tested
CHESTNUTS,
however, are both wholesome and pleas
ant, and they are also at the present
time quite extensively used for food, es-
pecially in Italy and Spain. They are
abundant there, and grow larger than
any of our varieties. They are not quite
SO sweet; but they contain SO much
more in quantity that it is much easier
to use them for buildings, soups, etc. It
is not known how many centuries they
have been in use. The ancient Romans
had them in SO great abundance that they
consigned them to plebian use, reserv-
ing for the nobility only those of more
delicate and tender sort. They prepared
them for the table by peeling them, scald
ing off the tender skins, and then roast
ing the nuts slowl y in a closely covered
dish. They also had way of preserv-
ing them by boiling twenty minutes,
then drying them in an oven and put
ting them away in a dry place. When
warm water.
There are many ways of preparing
chestnuts for food which would make
them much more digestible than they are
in their raw state We have no doubt
that they might be cultivated to advan-
tage, and perhaps the varieties improved
SO that they would produce larger and
better fruit. We comend the subject
for immediate action to the attention OF
those who like to experiment.
It should be noted that those nuts
that are not too oily to cook well, make
the best food. Among these are chest
nuts and acorns, and perhaps next in or
der we might place peanuts. Science of

The papers most read in the August

The papers most read in the August
number of OLD AND New, will be two,
namely: Mr. Hale's graceful and lively
translation Of the sweet old Provencal
love-story Of "Aucassin and Nicolette,"
and Mr.. Martineau's powerful and strik-
ing exposition of the contrasts between
the Gospel of John and the preceding
three, Mr.. Martineau, dwelling Ipon the
mystic Ii not Gnostic features Of the
Fourth Evangelist, and contrasting them,
as well as the language, with the pecu-
liarly Hebrew traits of the Revelation,
coccludes with great force of reasoning
that the two books were not written by
the same person, and that the Gospel of
John was written later than is usually
supposed. Mr.. Tyrwhitt's art series can
tinues; Mr.. Trollopes novel goes forward
with more narratives Of contemporary
English rascality and noodledoms of high
and low degree; there is a queer story by
Bishop Ferrette; a sensible financial dis
cussion, in review of Professor Sum-
ner's work on the currency, and which
maintains the consistent attitude of the
magazine in favor of plain cannon sense
honesty as the one right rule of national
financiering. There are other good re-
views Of books, some useful, sociological
discussions; a terse and forcible political
Introduction, explaining what the Civil
Service Reform has really done thus far.

CITY Press announces with great -four
ish of florid rhetoric that he will now
take the field in earnest against the re-
election of Congressman Wilson. This is
newsy but not exciting. The same p. p.
once before took the field in earnest. It
was two years ago. He was the candi-
date against Wilson. The District was
heard from afterwards. 1t went for Will
SON and against the p. p. by majority
Of seven thousand. the prigs own county
even going against him while endorsing the
rest 81 the ticket. We are glad to hear
that he is going to invade the District
again. It will have no other effect than
to increase Wilson's majority thousand,
unless il increases it two thousand.

MEN. NOT MEASURES.

We hear quite number Of the old line
fellows, that claim to be Jefferson Demo
eats" talking very bitterly about their
resent political status. They eat their
row with seeming relish, but to a careful
observer it may be noticed that they do
1T enthuse as of old. The truth is, they
e at sea as bad as they were two years
20, and are compelled to fall back on the
ID democratic battle-cry Of Men, not
assures :" This has been the cry Of the
opposition for the past thirteen years, and
,:-day, when the Anti-Monop. organs are
.cking in argument, they fall back under
is cover. Who ever heard Of the Demo
cratic party promulgating such doctrine
curing political fight or at any other
t;:ne in all the forty years it was in powers
ike the history of the party from the
ginning Of its power up to the time Of
5 defeat by the election Of Abraham
iincoln; scan its pages closely and care
lily, and there cannot be found single
stance of record where the Democracy
!. lvocated this doctrine. 1t is simply a
j slse cry to deceive and lead astray the
;reless voter What honest politician in
/, he Anti Monop. ranks believes that the
" of men, not measures" is the can
i'd feeling of any respectable portion Of

le. There never has existed a political
,.ganization in. the history Of the nation
lat sticks SO closely to its old party
lacks as the Democratic party-and we
,ay expect that under the cover of the
4 me 'Anti- Monopoly" should they re-
in their lost vantage ground, they will
ick just as close to party lines as in the
,st.
what We object to is the general cry OF
Men, not measures. There are undoubt-
lily instances in political life that will
1stify the application Of the tenor of the
,ctrine "Men, not measures" and we
ink it is quite possible that in one par
:ular instance in this district It would he
ell for the Republican party to appro-
late this Democratic thunder to their
