The Responsibility of the Press.

Probably there is not an editor of q
Wisconsin newspaper, said Editor
Bright, in his address to the Badger
State editors, who would allow child of
his access to the cheap literature that
floods the country. He would guard it
against the story papers and sensational
novels as he would against bad people.
They are full of mind poison. There
are hundreds of daily and weekly news
papers that contain mind poison. It is
found in its most deadly form in the hor-
rors they furnish up. The art of pre-
senting awful scenes in aashy colors; of
making horrors more horrible, has been
brought to remarkable degree of per-
fection by the press. Such work exerts
a baneful influence upon society. Espe-
cially with the young is it injurious.
1t units them for any good reading. 1t
becomes to them n necessity. Without
half dozen accounts of murders, with
dimensions of gashes, forms of protrud
ing bones, and crushed skulls with ooz-
ing brains and blood, and eyes gouged
out, set off with few graphically de-
scribed saloon and brothel rows, a paper
is quickly thrown aside as uninteresting.
A readers interest in such things is, 1
believe, largely the result of cultivation,
like the love of tobacco. Such reading
furnishes neither food for thought nor
news.
We claim for the press that it is the
greatest educator i'll the world. The
paper that, like Commander Bunsby,
has opinions, and consistently stands by
them, succeeds in course of time in MAX
ing large portion of its readers think
as it does. People think as they are
taught by the press. Now the teacher of
country school with twenty scholars is
supposed to bear tremendous RESPONSE
bility. The responsibility resting upon
n newspaper teacher is as much greater
as his field is larger, and his term long
er. That no pernicious doctrines are
set afoat by his effort should be his con-
stant care.
The responsibility resting upon the
publisher of the weekly country
paper is unquestionably greatly I'M
derestimated by himself as well rs by
others. 1t is his work to make the only
fresh reading matter seen in hundreds of
families from month to month. His
paper, coming once q week, furnishes
the only influence felt by the boys and
girls in those families; the only incident
to a better life. What their life shall be
depends too often more than it ought
upon the influence of the paper. The
people who have saddled upon them q
paper which has no care for the moral
influence it may exert, are more unfor-
tunate than they would be with all the
teachers in their schools persons of bad
| nhora ntar

The GrasshOpper's Enemies.

There are several insects that attack
grasshoppers, and serve to materially
lessen their numbers. The eggs are de
voured by a mite, which crawls into the
holes where the eggs have been deposit
ed, and devours them in a wholesale
manner. 1t is of pale red color, and
about as large as a small grain of wheat.
Another mite lives upon the insects
themselves i'll great numbers, fastening
into them with their jaws, eventually
causing the destruction Of the victim.
1t is much smaller than its preceding,
but from its bright red or scarlet color is
readily seen, generally fastened to the
grasshopper near the base of the wings.
The grasshopper is also attacked by two
species of parasite flies, which deposit
their eggs upon different parts of the
body not accessible to the jaws of the
insect. These eggs soon hatch, and the
young maggots eat into the body of the
insect, and there feed upon the fatty
parts, finally killing the infested hopper,
though not until it has left its body and
burrowed into the ground. They then
change to pup@, from which in time the
mature flies appear. AS a large percent
age of the grasshoppers, when examined,
are found to contain the living footless
maggots of one or the other of these
species, it is readily seen that they must
do incalculable good.

The New Panacea,

Modern science having demonstrated
that alcohol is neither food nor pbysic,
but, on the contrary, species of poison,
the introduction of potent tonic which
is entirely free from it is certainly sub
Ject for cOngratulation. DR.. Walkers
Vinegar Bitters is a medicine which may
be fairly characterized asan unobiection-
able specific for many distressing and
dangerous diseases. Temperance organ
izations, heretofore in favor of permit
ting the sale of alcohol for medical pur-
poses, are of opinion that Vinegar Bit
ters possesses all the efficacy as an invig-
GRANT that has ever been even claimed
for spirituous stimulants, and on this
account, as well as because of the singu-
lar success which has attended its use in
dyspepsia, liver complaint, disorders of
tho bowels, nervous diseases, general
debility aud all maladies growing out of
intemperance, they warmly recommend
it as restorative and Alternative of sur
passing excellence.

4 Popular Book.

Reports from agents thus far received
by the publishers of the new book enti-
tied "The Present Conflict of Science
with the Christian Religion" show an
average sale of five copies per day for
each agent. This indicates much larger
sale than was attained by the author
former work, of which the extraordinary
sale of $4,000 copies was made in very
short time. DIR. Morris already has a
high reputation as an author, and his
new book will occupy one of the highest
places III literature. 1t is book for the
times, work on the most vital question
of tho day. The magazines and the
daily and religious papers are constantly
filed with articles on one side or othcl
of this great question. 1t is talked of in
private conversation, discussed in public
Lectures, and preached from the pulpit

Influence of Diet.

For the mental laborer, fish every
second day is requisite. Soup sets all
the glands at work, and prepares the
stomach for the more important function
of digestion, and therefore should be TAX
en- at dinner every day. Beef broth is to
the old what milk is to the young.
Cookery properly attended to keeps
man in health. If the stomach is out of
order, the brain is affected. We should
eat more fruit, vegetable soup, and fish,
and less meat. Good and well-prepared
food beauties the mind. Wrinkles are
caused by want of variety of food. The
man who does not use his brains to select
and prepare his food is not above the
brutes, which take it in the raw state.
