Bathing Children.

Some mothers, writes q physician,
think when their children get beyond
two or three years of age, the frequent
entire bath can be dispensed with. II
some of the main facts of physiology
were well known and understood, every
one would perceive that cleanliness Of
health. 1t happens when bathing is dis
regarded, that the lungs, kidneys OF
bowels have more than their appointment
of work. If these are strong and
healthy, they may bear the tax with lit
tie apparent injury, but, in most cases,
q lowering of the vitality and tone of the
nervous system ensues. Large bath
tubs are pleasant and convenient, but
not indispensable to the proper cleansing
of the skin. A speedy sponging OF the
body in warm water, followed by friction
in pure air, is all that is necessary.
When disinclined to use water, find
a thorough application of the flesh brush
to the whole person an admirable substi-
tute especially on retiring, it relieves
nervousness, equalizes the circulation,
and induces quiet sleep. Mothers, above
all, should see that their children are
well bathed. If their skins are kept ac-
tive and healthy there will not be half
the danger from fever, cold and eruptive
diseases. If your little one is cross or
troublesome, and finds no occupation
that pleases him, try the effect of bath;
sometimes it is magical, and if tired, be
will go to sleep and awaken bright,
cheerful and happy. Do not, though,
as have seen some parents do, plunge a
child into water, when he screams and
shrinks from it, thinking you are doing q
good deed. Nature must be the guide
if your child has q nervous constitution,
a shock of this kind is only exhausting
and injurious.

Under a Microscope.

Any of our readers can test for them
selves the revelations of microscope by
the purchase even of cheap instrument.
1t will well repay the expense incurred.
Here is a list of some of the wonders
seen through microscope Insects of
various kinds can be seen in the cavities
of grain of sand. Mold is a forest of
beautiful trees, with the branches, leaves,
flowers and fruits. Butterflies are fully
feathered. Hairs are hollow tubes. The
surface of our body is covered with
scales like fish. A single grain of sand
would cover one hundred and fifty of
these scales, and yet single scale covers
five hundred pores. Through these
narrow openings the sweat forces itself
out like water through a sieve. The
mites make five hundred stems second.
Each drop of stagnant water contains a
world of animated beings, swimming
with as much liberty as whales in the
sea- Each leaf has a colony of insects
grazing on it, like oxen on meadow. A
speck of potato-rot the size of pin-head
contains about two hundred ferocious
little animals, biting and clawing each
other savagely.

Ants That Bury the Dead.

1t has been discovered that there are
some ants which actually bury their
dead. Recentlya lady had been obliged
to kill some ants, the bodies of which
lay about on the ground. Presently
single ant found its dead companions,
and examined them and then went off.
Directly it returned with a number of
others and proceeded to the dead bodies.
-Four ants went to each corpse, two lift
ing it and the other two following, the
main body, some two hundred in num-
Der, following behind. The four bearers
took their Office in turns, one pair re-
heving the other when they were tired.
They went straight to sandy hillock,
and there the bearers put down their
burdens, and the others Immediately be-
gan to dig holes. A dead ant was then
placed in each grave, and the soil filled
in. The most curious part of the pro-
ceeding was that some six or seven ants
refused to assist in grave-digging; upon
which the rest set on them, killed them,
dug one large hole, and tumbled them
unceremoniously into it.

Ten Years for FOrtyCents.

John Steptoe was yesterday sentenced
to ten years Imprisonment in the State
Penitentiary for robbing Barney Oswald
of the sum of forty cents on the 10th of
December last. On the evening of that
day the prosecutor, vino resided at
McRee City, when driving toward his
home, and when on Chouteau avenue,
near Grand, came across the prisoner,
who threw rock at and struck him, and
then jumped into the wagon and beat
him on the head with soda-water bottle.
He knew the prisoner, having formerly
worked with him. Another man, named
Sam, held him while the prisoner rified
hlD pocket. He only succeeded in OBJ
tanning 30 cents in money and 10 cents
worth of tobacco. Oswald had n con-
siderable amount of money in another
pocket, which the robbers failed to find.

Dinner.

Dinner, both in the nature and quanti-
ty of its components, must be regulated
by the constitution and judgment OF IN
dividuals who, however, bearing In
mind constant and consistent discrim
ination with respect o ailments, should
be careful to study the peculiarities of
their constitution and digestive powers,
and to adapt their diet to them. We
may, however, very well add, that those
who are chiefly employed i'll mental oc-
cupation, and not exposed to much bodl-
ly labor, require less animal food than
such as are in the continual exercise of
corporeal strength, and should conse-
quently, avoid excess in that particular
with this exception, that an hysteric or
hypochondriac tendency seems to re-
quire animal food, which, however,
should be freely joined with the vegeta-
BILE. We may here, also, properly re-
mark, that no error is in this country
more common or more dangerous than
the neglect of bread.
This valuable edible is the safest and
most nutritious of vegetable ailments,
and the best corrector of animal food
by its plentiful use alone, the bad conse-
quences of an excess of the latter may
be obviated The tables of the French
appear to be supplied as freely with ami
NAL food as those of the English yet
that people, by greater use of bread
and dried acid fruits, prevent the i'll eff
fects of heavier diet, and preserve
cheerful buoyancy of spirits, to which
the generality of our phlegmatic island
ers are strangers. The English, there
fore, who are so much devoted to animal
food, should particularly moderate it's
effects by liberal use of bread and 9th
er vegetable matter; since vegetable
food is necessary to secure, not only
health, but long life. In infancy and
youth, we should be confined mostly to
it in manhood and the decline of life,
we should more freely use animal nour-
ishment and in old age, we should re-
turn to the vegetable. Vegetables and
milk, indeed, are strong antidOtes to
scurvy, and putrid and infammatory
fevers nay, in the former disease, milk
alone will frequently do more good than
any other remedy.

The British Parliament and the Press

Mr.. Sullivan, q member of the British
House of Commons, day or two since
gave notice that, in order to bring about
change of the anomalous condition of
the press and the House, he intended to
daily notify the House of the presence
of strangers. This seems somewhat sim
gular in this country, where the legisla-
tive halls are free to the public. The
oretically, all persons except members
and the necessary officers are excluded
from the hall while the House of Com
mons is in session. There is small
gallery in the hall, fenced off by wire
grating. Admission to this gallery,
which will seat but comparatively few
persons, Is obtained by tickets from
members. The hall of the House of
Commons itself is dingy, inconvenient
room, of very limited proportions, and
not capable of seating more than one
half the members. When the attend
ance is large, those not able to obtain
seats must stand or find refuge in some
of the various small ante-rooms adioin-
ing. The attendance of strangers is
tolerated by practice, but prohibited by
rule. Officially the House is not aware
of the presence of reporters ; and the
publication of debates is in violation of
law, law which is not, however, en-
forced. British statesmen. elk all
others, have great ambition to be re-
ported, but none of them have the cour-
age to propose legal authorization of
the publication of the debates. Under
the rules, it is sufficient for a member to
call the attention of the House to the
presence of strangers, when business is
suspended and the gallery is cleared 1t
requires no motion for this purpose as
soon as the Speaker is informed that
there are strangers present, he must or
der their exclusion.
The reporters for the London papers
are admitted to part of the strangers
gallery upon tickets issued to them by
the Speaker but this is in an unofficial
way, and gives them no right. They are
regarded just the same as any other
strangers, and must go out. In fact,
their presence is a double violation of
law, because it is unlawful to take notes
or publish any of the debates of Parlia-
ment, the House having in its history
repeatedly declared such publication to be
a breach of the privileges of the House.
This old rule rests upon the assump-
tion that the publication Of the debates
is an abridgment of the freedom of de
bate, that it tends to make the member
responsible for what he s.-Chicago

Job DOWling,s Funeral.

years ago was one of party in Wash
ington city, when South and North We'd
with each other in convivial life. An
other of the party was Gen. Dawson,
member from Western Pennsylvania,
whose homestead was Albert Gallatin's s
old home. He was an admirable story
teller. recall somewhat sadly, now
that he is gone, how well he illustrated
the laZiness of class of Virginians. The
story was part of his Congressional
canvassing. On one occasion he got
across the Pennsylvania line into little
village of Virginia. He was in the midst
OF group around the tavern. While
treating and talking, a procession ap-
preached which looked like n funeral.
He asked who was to be buriedl "Job
Dowling," said they. "Poor Job y
sighed the General. He was good

living on the few fish he caught and the
squirrels he killed, but mostly on the do
nations of his neighbors. $50 poor Job

THE CALF AND THE DEVIL.
An Oriental Tale.
BY JOHN @. SAKE.

pious Calf unaware
Was sleeping past the hour OF prayer,
When, of sudden, Satan came
And woke him up. "In Allah's name.
Arise !" he said, "and go and pray
The dawn " deepening into day,
And still thou liest here in bed 2"
" And who are yoa 2" the Calf said: !.
Z" No matter who or what am l."
The stranger said, in curt reply;
=" 'Tis quite enough for thee to know
Ny counsels good so, prithee, go
Straight TO the mosque nor longer stay
Sleeping the sacred hour awayi'
" Your act seems kindly meant, own;'
The Calf said "but in your tone
There's something wrong methinks hear
In that the Devils mocking sneer;
And then, despite your words Of grace,
Pardon / do not like your face!"
" Mere fancy, sire :" the stranger said,
(Tossing in scorn his naughty head;
" I'm not the beast that beldams paint
With hoof and horns and swinging tail,
To turn the cheeks of children pale;
"a copy of the pagan Pan)
But-as you see--a gentleman:
Who doubt the statement as you will.
Keeps something OF the angel still"
" You are The Tempter-that is clear"
The Calf said; "and yet tbs queer
You bade me rise and go and pray!
Tell me what wicked motive lay
Beneath advice so seeming good ?''s
" All !" said the fiend, "what likelihood
Is there that Satan tells the truth?
Yet, would you know the very sooth,
Pray listen (may IL be in vain y
Twas but to harm you was fain,
To wake you up for morning prayers;
For well / knew it, unawares,
You slept too long, your penitence
Would soon wash out the slight offence;
Whereas. if thus from year TO year
You kept your conscience wholly cleai
In trihes and could scarce detect
One fault of ritual neglect
Pulled up with vanity and pride,
In mortal sin you might have died :"
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1875-05-21

longer, can't your" Cant too late
coffin cost $1.25. Must go on now"
About this time the procession came up,
and halted, when the General proposed
if they would take Job out he would send
over bag of corn. On this announce
ment the lids of the coffin opened and
Job languidly sat up the cents dropped
from his eyes as he asked, els the corn
shelled, General2" "No, not shelled. +"
"Then, (" said Job, as he lazily lay down,
go on with the funeral !"

A SK111FUL ENGINEER Seguin is
dead. He built the first railway in
France (from Lyons to st. Etienne); he
invented iron wire suspension bridges
and the tubular boilers of locomotive
engines, by which invention railway
trains have been able to attain their pres
ent great speed, for the tubular boiler
generates steam rapidly enough to sup
ply the vapor as fast as it is wanted. He
lived to attain the age of eighty-nine
years. His mind had decayed some
years before his body. He was a pupil
and nephew of Montgolfer, the paper
maker, so well known by his connection
with aerial navigation.
