Grabs and Ticks.

A correspondent writes: Woodash-
cs, sprinkled upon the backs Of beef
cattle that are to be kept late, will
kill the grubs, so that they will not
injurc the meat at all. Put it on two
or three times in the first half of Jan
uary, two good handfuls at y time;
when the hair is 4 little damp, is the
best time. When one skins the ami
nal, he maysee where the grubs were,
but the meat will be of the natural
color, and all right. Ialso know that
sulphur fed to sheep will drive away
the ticks, and keep them away. A
tablespoonful of sulphur to two quarts
of salt, well mixed, is about theright
proportion: and it should be given
about twice month, while the sheep
run to grass. l have triedit formore
than twenty years, on focks of from
100 to 500 in number, and the sheep
have been almost entirely free from
ticks during the whole time"

Sir Edmund Beckett is true Eng
lishman, and does not love the
French measure. He says:
"The polar axis is estimated at l.
1891 miles, or500 millions of inches
q thousandth part longer than our
present standard inch, which prob
ably only came by accident to be
what it was when the standard was
taken, and might just as well be 4
thousandth more. True the other
European nations have inches too,
and some of them are rather longer
than ours. The French meter, 49,
ST. inches, is the worst measure in
the world, because it is inconsistent
with any natural one; whereas our

Girls.

Mrs. Livermore, Olive Logan and
the Hon. Carl Schurz have given so
much time in discussing this impor-
tant subject that We have made up
our mind that if the girls are trained
at home in the following manner
they would give these wise heads
something else to talk about:
Teach them self-reliance:
Teach them to make bread.
Teach them to make shirts.
Teach them to foot up store bills.
Teach them not to wear false hair.
Teach them to wear thick warm
shoes.
Bring them up in the way they
should go.
Teach them how to wash and iron
clothes.
Teach them how to make their own
dresses.
Teach them that a dollar is only a
hundred cents.
Teach them how to darn stockings
and sew on buttons.
Teach them every day, dry hard
practical common sense.
Teach them to say no and mean
it; or yes and stick toit.
Teach them to wear calico dresses
and do it like queens.
Give them a good, substantialcom-
mon school education.
Teach them that a good rosy romp
is worth fifty consumptives.
Teach them to regard the morals
and not the money of their beaux.
Teach them all the mysteries Of
the kitchen, the dining room and
parlor.
Teach them the more one lives
within his income the more he will
save.
Teach them to have nothing to do
with incorporate anddissolutc young
men.
Teach them the further one lives
beyond his income the nearer he gets
to the poor house.
Rely upon it that upon your teach
ing depends in great measure the
veal or woe Of their after life.
Teach them that good steady me
chanic without 4 cent is worth doz-
en- loafers in broadcloth.
Teach them the Accomplishments,
music, painting, drawing, if you have
time and money to do it with.
Teach them that God made them
in his own image, and no amount of
tight lacing will improve the model.

The Democratic revolt against Tam
many is the ignis fdtuus after which
great many callow Republicans have run
into the swamp. Mr.. Hugh j, Hastings
is too old and sagacious politician to be
humbugged. He warns his fellow. partisans
through the N. Y. Commercial AdUertiser
that these quarrels of the city Democracy
never bring any good to the Republicans.
The more intense the fight between the
Tammany and anti-Tammany factions, the
larger, he argues, is the Democratic vote,
and the smaller the Republican. He con-
cludes with the terse counsel to his Repub
lican friends that they should not make
fools of themselves.
