Fruit and Health.

The celebrated DIR. Hunt once re-
marked that an absence of fruit I'M
piled DOCTORS bills" whereupon an eX-
change has this to say
We have urged fol many years the
importance of II regular supply of ripe
fruit to prevent disease, and insisted
that the best medicine chest which an
emigrating family could carry to a
newly -settled country, would b- a box
OF early bearing fruit trees, currant,
gooseberry and strawberry bushes,
and strawberry plants. We knew u
family who moved to the West, and
took with them a large supply of dried
fruits, which lasted them throughout
the first summer. None Of them were
sick, although disease prevailed all
about them that year; but the next
year, with more comforts and less
prlvations, but with DO fruit, they
suffered much from sickness. Other
western residents have told US that so
long as they could have ripe fruit,
they have been free from all diseases
resulting from malaria.

FIELD AND FARM.
Economy of Keeping Sheep.

The economy Of Keeping few sheep
on every farm devoted to a mixed
husbandry, is apparent To any one Civ
ing the subject careful consideration.
AS scavengers they viii, OH many
farms. paw a handsome interest on
their first cost-not taking into the ac-
count their yield of fleece and lambs.
Much of the straw and stalks about
the barn-yards, the growth in fence
corners and other Out-uf-the way
places, will be kept clean aud slightly
by few sheep, with very little trouble,
aud no expense 10 their owner. A.
regards vegetation, the sheep may he
said to be conference.-the = at II It,
only peer-and very few 1T the most
troublesome weeds aud grasses can long
Withstand its short and persistent
climbing. In clearing Outand subdulng
timber pastures they are invaluable.
If turned in when the young shoots
are still young and succuIent, nothing
within their reach will escape them.
They can be turned into the stubble~
field after harvest, and not only thus
save every stray head OF grain, but
leave the field clear of weeds and in
the best possible condition for the pow.
With equally good results they can be
herded through a field of standing corn
after the growth of grass and weeds Is
well under way. This is especially adj
vantageous where the very common
course is pursued of sowing wheat in
the standing corn. True, now ana
then broken or bent stalk falls a
prey but the advantage of the air ana
sunlight to the too-loug shaded ground,
will befound to compensate manNtold
for these slight losses. In short sheep
can not be omitted from the farm econo-
my without loss to the farmer who
thus overlooks their merits.-NdtiOHdt

Helpful Hints, &c.

A Wisconsin mau says that the
flames of burning Kerosene can be eX-
tingushed by throwing on Hour 1t
seems reasonable thai any absor-
bent material not readily combuslible
might be effective for such purpose.
Ifyuu have been picking or handl-
ing acid fruit and have stained yonr
hands, wash them in clear water, wipe
them lightly, and while they are yet
moist strike a match and shut your
hands around il so a. to catch the
smoke, and the stain will disappear.
Wet the spots of iron rust on muslin
or white dress-goods thoroughly with
lemon Juice, then lay in the hot sun
to dry. Repeat the same if the color
il not removed by one application.
When dry, rinse in clear, cold wa
water. Lemon juice can not he used
on colored goods, rs it will take out
printed cOlUrs as well as stains. 1t
will remove all kinds of stains from
white goods.
To remove mildew, make a very
weak solution of chloride of lime in
water-about heaping teaspoonful to
quart Of wateT-strain II carefully,
and dip the spot of he garment into
it and if the mildew does not disappear
Immediately, Jay it in the sun for few
minutes, or dip it again into the lime
water. The work is etfectually and
speadily done, and the chloride of lime
neither rots the cloth nor removes
delicate colors, when sufficiently di-
Iuted, and the article rinsed afterward
in clear water.

Holding Their Wheat.

We find some remarks on this sub
iect in the PddUcdh heHtUckidH
which are Of interest to Tennessee
farmers just at this juncture. q" 1t is
true there has been a good wheat crop
generally. and if the supply was all
retained in the country there might be
a sufficiency of breadstutfs. But how is
this to be done? The farmer has more
wheat than he needs for home consum-
ption and has been looking forward to
the sale of his surplus to pay some
pressing engagements. II he refuses to
sell he can not pay. The Patrons of
Husbandry of Galloway county have
resolved that no wheat be sold To specs
ulators. This is "A move in the right
direction, but, unless the Oranges who
have money will come TO the relief OF
their impecunious brethren and let
them have money, they will be forced
to sell their surplus of wheat. We
suggest to the Changers of Galloway
and other counties to take action on
this subject Their resolutions not To
sell wheat will amount to nothing un'
less the farmers who are in debt can be
helped to money by loan or otherwise
to help them over the hard places"

POLITICS IN SCHOOLS.
How the Democrats Captured the Chat
tanooga Schools.


The Commercial, of the 14th, says;
1--WE have not been disposed to run poll
tics either in the country or city cleo
tons, but the course of our Democrat
ic friends makes it necessary that the
Republicans should, II they can, elect
the officers and control the county and
city governments. The city School
Board was established 10y u Republican
Council aud it was, tacilly at least, un-
derstoOd that the political parties
should be equally represented therein,
so that our schools might be Kept free
from all political influence. SO far AS
the Republicans are concerned this
understanding has been faithfully Kept
and we are sorry that as much can not
be said for the Democrats. When the
present City Council was elected there
were six Republicans out of ten, Civ
ing the Republicans majority indie
pendent of the casting vote OF the
Mayor, who is democratic. One Re-
publican moved away, causing
vacancy, and the Democrats during
the absence OF another Republican,
which gave the Mayor the casting
vote, elected a Democrat to fill it. .
This made the Board democratic,
and disregarding The established usage
with regard to the School Board, to
which the Republicans had been faith
full, they elected a Democrat to fill
vacancy caused by the resignation of
a Republican. This is breach Of faith
which wedid not expect aud which it
is incumbent upon the Republicans
to remedy by taking matters into their
own hands as their majority entities
them. The Democrats have deliher-
ately planted the germ in the school
board which, if permitted to grow,
will make that body dependent upon
the will of the political party that may
be in power, and its usefulness will
thus be greatly lessened if not utterly
destroyed AS the Democrats have
thrown down the gauntlet, the Repub-
licans should take it up, and take it
up now, in the county election, so as
to be better prepared for the elections
to follow"
| The Chattanooga trick is one worth
remembering. This game of running
politics and church in schools will
just rs certainly ruin the small-souled
creatures, who inaugurate it as they
live long enough to see it. Precedents
are troublesome things.

The Press and the Party.

Harper's Weekly says that "it may be
fairly said that the Republican press
has saved the Republican party from
the very serious errors into which the
leaders would have precipitated il, and
has saved it by the most independent
and rigorous censuIe and appeal"
Which Is all the same as saying that
the Republican party has been saved
by the Republican party, for the press
is the party; it created the party at the
outset. and has directed and sustained
it ever since, and will continue to do so
in spite of the efforts of derelict Re
publicaus who endeavOr to destroy the
party by calling themselves Indepen-
dents or Liberals. The Republican
press, with very few exceptions, re-
mains true to the party il created, and
while it continues so the Republican
party is in no danger,-BrookiyJ'

The Iron Market.

The aggregate business during the
past week was comparatively light, as
compared with the two weeks preced-
ing, but the market. if anything, is
stronger, with light offerings, and good
standard brands are held firmly at full
rates. Producers, almost without an
exception, el satisfied that the very
lowest Iotcn has been reached, and
that the tendency from this time on
during the balance of the year will be
upward, hence they are 10th to sell at
present rates, particularly as they af>
ford little or no margin for profit, and
it is pretty evident that consumers take
the same view OF the situation other
wise they would not have bought dur
ing the past month as they did, at the
winding up of the season. Quotations

VIII Greased Eggs Hatch 2

It has long been considered settled
fact, that eggs for table use may be
preserved for considerable time by
rubbing them over with lard or butter (;
thus filling the pores Of the shell, and
preventing evaporation and staleness
Of the contents. These eggs, however,
were supposed TO be irremediably
fused up'' for Matching purposes.
Indeed, this idea was so generally
accepted, that no one ever thought OF
questioning its correctness, aud, cOnse-
quently, no one attempted to get
chickens out OF CREASED eggs. But now,
all is changed, and we find that butter
ing eggs is not only no detriment, but
a positive advantage to eggs which
have to be kept week or ten days be-
fore they can be put under the hen.

The condrs Revenge-A:Pers,an story.


A terrible story comes to us from
Persia. In one of the districts labor
ing man had been sentenced to be
bastinadoed Tor some offence, receiving
$50 blows on the soles of his feet. As
he sank down on his knees after the
sentence had been carried out, and it
was believed that his injuries were Of a
serious character, he called the judge
to his side, intimating that he had a
terrible secret to reveal. AS he could
only speak in a whisper, the judge
placed his ear to the lips of the fainting
man, when the latter seized it with
his teeth, and in his agony bit it COM
pletely off.
In Persia the loss of an ear, no mat
ter under what circumstances. is con-
sidered n lasting disgrace, and the
Judge so felt il. He at once gave
orders 10 have the prisoner carefully
cared for, assuring the physicians that
if they did not save his life, their own
should pay the penalty and they
succeeded.
When the prisoner was fully recov-
cred he was sentenced to have his
teeth pulled out one by ene,in presence
of the mob, aud this frightful-sentence
was carried out, two days being eX-
hausted in the work. No pains were
taken with the horrible job, and the
Jaws were broken and crushed until
the whole lower part of the mans
face was a mangled mass, and his suf.
ferings were so great that many of the
men tainted in witnessing the opera
ton. Two days after, the little life in
the man was beaten out of the soles OF
his feet and the Judge, having fully
satisfied his thirst for vengeance, COM
mitted suicide.

The Catholic School Question in Yir-
ginia.

Rev. ]. j. McGuirk, pastor of the
Catholic Church of Lyuchburg, Va,
has petitioned the school board of that
city for free public school to be under
the superintendent and management
of Fathers McGuirk and Murray, of
the Catholic Church, and he prays that
fair and ratable proportion of the
fund realized by taxation for the sup
port of public free schools may be
bestowed upon it. The petition states
the doors of the school shall always be
open to the members of the city coun-
Gil, to the public school board, to the
superintendent of public schools, and
to any citizen who may honor us with
his presence and examine our children !;
yet this school is TO be under the
Immediate supervision of the pastor.
The Protestant clergyman of Lynch
burg enter an earnest protest against
the petition, and say if the petition of
Rev. Mr.. McGuirk be granted they
shall demand as denominational
right, and as conductive to the interests
of our respective churches a pro-rata
appropriation of funds, under similar
restrictions and obligations.

Rem owe the knife only in cutting the
food; do not raise it to the mouth.
Eat slowly, rapid eating is unhealthy.
