Rev f. y. Pomeroy, the clergyman who
] preached the funeral sermon OF Lester Sykes,
who was killed by the caving in oil a well at
West Sprir gfield, Massachusetts, a few days
ago, took occasion 10 make few practical
suggestions in reference to well digging. He
said he believed, in view of the accidents
constantly occurring fr,m similar cause,
hat the digging of wells should be regulated
by law, and that only licensed persons shou Id

suggestion is a good one, and is applicable to
the digging OF deep bitches aud all other
holes in the ground. HUNDREDS OF lives are
lost yearly which little necessary precau-
ton would save.

Tramps.

There is a regular procession of
tramps between Buffalo and New York.
They follow each other as the canker-
worm follows the locust, and the drag
only the canker-worm. The begging
is constant, and if lady is alone insult
is added to mendacity. Enough peo-
pie can be found to give to these vag-
rants, and it is easier to beg than work.
These wretches goes In pairs. They
travel about ten miles a day. They
break into barns to sleep, taking cush-
ions ont of carriages for pillows. They
sleep in wood sheds, and often on
piszzas of houses. Their route is to
Buffalo and back. and they steal any
small thing they can lay their hands
on. They have a sort of masonry.
They use cabalistic marks with chalk.
These marks have q language. One
route has been exhaasted-another has

How to Make Marriage Beautiful

Inlthe first place, let the people defer
to tie laws of health, of sanity, heredi.
tary soundness let them obey restric-
tions consult wholesome seasons, re.
sped the limits set up by the common
sense of nature. Mutual ignorance on
the8 points is filing marriage with I'M
necessary evils they not only spoil the
welEbeing of family, but spoil its dis
position. Let the work IN every house
be reduced, by reduction of its ambi-
tiors, till all its parlors, all its tables,
all the clothes exactly represent the
current condition of every family; not
bracket nor ribbon for exageration,
not a single room for parade, neither
sewing, washing, eating, securing, COM
pany- giving beyond actual needs, and
all done by the feast elaborate meth
o,s. Then, in the second place, reduce
ts the lowest possible point the dis
trIrbances which arise from ignorance
aud vanity, from artificial training
You simply liberate marriage for the
more effective discharge OF its spiritual
purpose. The men and women might
suspect that they are ill.mated till life
itself pronounced the banns. Teach
children that marriage only prolongs
their school hours into the future OF
sto=->ssS discipline and less perishabie
attachments. Warn them against those
affectionate extravagsnces which under
mine respect, against the physical er-
rors which so sap the will that 1t is
humbIed aud enslaved by annoyance
which health and freshness laugh at.
and teach them simplicity, make vul-
gar habits and ambitions appear odious
to them, ply their imagination with |
austere and noble forms, tempt them to !
fall in love first with spiritual beauty,
whose service makes them free, then |
.bey will be better prepared to discover
hat marriage withholds felicity until it
las been earned.

Trust the Little Ones.

call TO mind two families that have
grown up within my knowled0e--two
homes presided over by parents who
we're anxious to do right, and TO rear
their children to do right. In one of
those homes the lock and KEY were mt
upon every door behind which cake.
tart and sweetmeats were stored. and
upon every drawer containing curiosi-
ties Or trinkets. The good mother and
the ssernly Just father meant weII-they
meant to remove temptation from The
path Of their children. but what was the
resuitp As the children canae to the
age Of reflection, they were forcibly re-.
minded OF the fact that they were not
trusted III they were not trusted by
theiE own parents, who knew them well.
OF course they were not worthy OF trust.
They naturally accepted the situation /:
and, just as naturally, their wits found
work IN circumventing the keepers of
the hidden treasures. Fruit or pastry,
accidentally left exposed, was sure TO
disappear. II the oulprit was found,
he was punished. By.and.by, the elder
OF the children found false keys TO fit
the locks or the closet-doors and so il
came to pass that systematic thieving
became the order OF the day.
And who shall say how much of this
early education is carried into the after
life, Tor veal or woe Far more, | be-
teve, than is generally considered.
There is vast difference between
neediessly setting temptation before the
littleones, and generous hearty trust
ing OF them. Aud, again, there are ex.
ceptions to nearly all rules. / know a
child with eyes so weak and lungs so
painfully sensitive, that he cannot bear
the sunlight or the fresh air. Yet we
believe sunlight and fresh air to be gen.
orally healthy for children. KIeptoma.

Of love and mercy, do not administer
the medicine to the dear child that is
may be as dangerous as it
is unjust. The first duty of parent is
to give and accept perfect trustfulness
on the part Of the children. 1t estab-
fishes self-respect, and self-respect be-
gets that powerful sense of responsibility
which carries with il perfect honesty in
life Trust is like faith it awakens
and produces inward prompt
ings which are but the reflection of an
upright conscience.

Pennies in the South.

The Atlanta (Ga.) Herald has started
an evening edition at three cents per
copy, and thus describes some of the
experiences sustained /: cit was stated
in the prospectus OF this paper that
change IN coppers would be given to
all purchasers, as far as the specie re-.
sources of the city would admit. After
a careful search of the town we were
unable to find over "a worth of pennies
IN Atlanta. There is volume of homily
IN this statement and the consequences
that it carries. 1t is our opinion that a
people that recognizes no piece of money
less than the nickel can ever know
what true thriftiness aud economy
means. For years we have been en-.
joining the people to the use of pen
MES and The various fractions of the
nickel. We have now determined to
purchase and bring here large num-
Der of pennies, with which all the
Herald rewsboys will be supplied and
with which they will make change when
nickel Is offered them for the evening
paper. In this way we expect to grad.
ually work tho humble but useful cent
into general circulation, and feel as
sured that it will be found, when they
have become useful machine OF pur-
chase, that three-fourths of the articles
for which we now pay a nickel can be
bought for fractional part thereof"

Luxury of the Bath.

We have heard intelligent, enIight.
ened people grayely declare that bath
is weakening. Many invalids fear to
bathe least they shall "run down" in
consequences. Even many physicians
seem to have a very incorrect notion of
the effect of baths, often dosing their
patients for weeks in the hope of curing
some simple malsdy which resulted
wholly from a difty skin. Don't be
afraid of water. 1t won't hurt you In
the warm summer months, a daily bath
is none too much for cleanliness. 1t
need not be prolonged more than two
or three minutes in most cases, and
very large amount of water is not re-
CURED to cleanse the skin effectively. if
its application is accompanied by Wig
orous rubbing. In some cases a water
bath every other day, and a dry hand
rub on the alternate day, will suffice
for cleanliness. We do not advocate
cold-water bathing, even in summer,
though many may practice it without
apparent injury. Water of temper.
ature only few degrees below blooi
heat is generally preferable. Our ad-
vice TO all who wish to be true health
reformers is, Wash and be clean"

Causes of the Degeneracy of the
Teeth.

Prot. Chase asserts that fifty years
ago, when he was boy, the profession
Of dentistry was unknown ia America,
and there were not more than half a
dozen dentists in the United States.
Toothache was not common, aud sound
teeth, even in very aged people, was
the rule and not the exception. The
reasons for the change in. the character
Of the teeth of the present generation
he asserts are TO be found in the nature
of the food we eat, particularly in the
bread, which popular prejudice demands
should be perfectly white, and TO secure
this the milters arc forced TO carefully
bolt ont the gluten cells of the wheat,
the great magazines of phosphates for
the grain. The point is one of such
Importance that we quote from the
article as follows:
To supply the daily loss OF the lime
salts from an adult body weighing one
hundred and forty pounds, fifty grains
OF the salts OF lime would be required.
This is found in about twenty ounces
of unbolted wheat four, or one hundred
ounces of superfne -four. From twenty
to thirty ounces of unbOlted wheat may
be taken as a representative OF the value
Of the food which is daily eaten by a
healthy person of one hundred and
forty pounds weight. 1t is simply ridi-
culous to suppose person of that
weight could eat and digest one hun
dred ounces of -four ! Consequently,
those who do make superfne wheat
-four an important factor in the nutri-
~ al - 4 L,
necessary amount of lime salts. Now,
this is true of thousands and hundreds
OF thousands in the United States. The
teeth of these fine -four eaters are de-
fective their children inherit their de-
fective dental organization, and so the
mischief spreads. Irish girls who come
to this country for service usually have
good teeth, but in two or three years
their teeth decay surprisingly. This is
easily accounted for, when il is noto-
rious that they eat large quantities of
food made from supeIfne -four, of
which they rarely tasted in their native
country. An American dentist who Wis.
tied Germany said that he visited a
sAildren's school where there were over
two hundred pupils, and made an ex
animation OF their teeth, and moreover
children used b ln UT reT9yfd TIrst
settlers Of Ohio, Kentucky and Vermont
gave good teeth to the generation sue
ceeding them, because their food con
sisted OF meets, vegetables, beans, peas
and maize in large proportion. Super.
fine -four was luxury unknown to them.
They we're glad to get wheat pounded
in mortars, or coarsely ground between
stones, without boiling. 1 very well
recollect that the people of Vermont,
even thirty years ago. did not average
one barrel of snperfne flour for every
six persons. Thus not more than one
twelfth of their food was made mp of
this -four.

VARIETIES.
Black velvet ribbons are being manu-
featured Mt st. Etienne in great quanti-
ties for trimming winter dresses, They
are used on rich brocades and silks, but
are especially designed for cashmere,
vigogBe and other fine woolens. Three
or four rows are sewcd plainly around

dresses have one deep gathered founoe
around the bottom, on which are placed
five narrow pleated ruffles.

costumes is a plain basque with plaid

apron. A quaint new suit has a brown
gros grain basque with plaid LJuisine
sleeves of rose and brown plaid. The
