Worth Knowing.

Every little while we read in the pa
pers OF some one who has stuck rusty
nail into his foot, or knee or hand, or
some other portion OF his person, and
that lockjaw has resulted therefrom, of
which the patient died. Yet all such
wounds can be healed without such fatal
consequences as often follow them. The
remedy is simple, almost always at hand
and can be supplied by any one, and
what is better, it is intallible. It'is
simply to smoke such wounds or any
wound or bruise that is ipflamed with
burning wood or woolen cloth. Twenty
minutes in the smoke of wool will take
the pain out OF the worst wound, and re-
peated once or twice, will allay the
worst case of Inflammation arising from
a wound we ever saw. People may
sneer at this "old woman's remedy" as
much as they please, but wnen they are
afflicted, lust let them try it. 1t has
saved many lives and is worthy of being
printed In letters OF gold and put in ey.
cry house.

Ancient People of Colorado.

Tradition has IL, that once in centu-
ries gone by, there lived people in
comfort, elegance and reasonably high
state of eivilization--the royal Aztecs,
Cortez came, Montezuma called, their
religion and their government were in
peril, and leaving home and comfort and
country, these true lieges of a sovereign
whose throne rested on the centuries,
went down to the city Of Mexico TO fight
for their tradition, and flag and faith
fought and lost and died.
Certain it is. that little south of this
immediate spot in Pueblo county,, there
are traces of civilization and OF substan.
tial opulence, of which the very tradi.
tion has passed away here, and which is
neither Spanish nor Indian. Certain it
is, that while the Indian, awed by the
visible manifestations of the hand OF
God, came here to worship on stated oc-
casions, they did not use it as one OF
their permanent hunting grounds Oh
winter abodes.
For centuries 1t seemed hardly to have
known the face of man as dweller, and
now, at a flash, it is open to all the world
and the silence of ages is broken by all
the confused orchestra of modern life,
The scream of the locomotive, the busy
hum of industries, the whirl of machin.
cry, the sound Of the gong ofreyelry, the
crack of the rifle, the voice of prayer and
praise, the music of children's voices
and the quiet rhythm of happy homes.

From twenty-five to thirty-five is the
true time Tor all the employment OF a
mans best powers, when physical yigor
is at it's highest. During the last hall of
this decade man should be assiduous to
construct system of philosophy by
which to rule his life, and to contract a
chain of habits intelligently; so that
they should not sit too tightly upon him,
and yet cautiously, so that he should
neither be their slave nor too easily cast
them aside. The exact proportion OF
physical and intellectual strength should
be gauged, and the constitutional weak
ness, or, In other words, the disease to-
ward which tendency exists, should be
ascertained. Preserve, If possible, the
absolute necessity of exercise, and have
your place of business two or three miles
away, over which let nothing tempt you
to an omnibus or carriage save rain. The
day on which medical man gives up
riding to see his country patients, or the
use Cf his own legs to see his patients In
the town, and takes to q close brougham,
fixes the date when sendentary diseases
are set up-while if, to utilize his lei,
sure, he reads as he drives, his eyesight
becomes seriously affected. From thir.
ty-tve to forty-tive, q man should ar
range with his food and avoid hypochon-
dria. He can not, it is true, change his
diathesis; but he can manage it. The
habitual character of food, no less than
its quantity or quality, begins to tell
whether it charges the system with fat,
muscle, sinew, fiber. or watery particles.
From forty-fve to ffty-fve the recupera.
tive powers should be encouraged and
developed. There is nothing like work
to keep an old horse sound. sporting
dogs should be thin, but obesity will Sc,
in. Anxiety ought to be STAYED Oft, hope
encouraged, sordid cases avoided. IT q
grief exists, it should not be brooded
over, but talked out with friend, gaug.

much outdoors, and lives wholesomely
and temperately, he is pretty sure to bt
clear of sedentary disease: Rheumatism

dition for the struggle. Moderate expo

Every one knows that there Is no ex
ternal opening to the ear, but it Is moi
generally known that there Is an inter
nal opening called the Eustachian tube
which passes from the internal auditory
organs to the back of the mouth, just
where the nostrils open into it. Thit
tube is partly bony, but chiefly cartilagi
nous. 1t use is to allow the free pass
age of air IN and out of the tympanum
and to admit the egress of the mucus Sc
creted in that cavity. Although com
paratively few persons are aware Of the
existance of this tube, all unconsciously
make use of it, by opening the moutt

voice or sound of any kind. SHAKESPEARE

has not allowed this instructive actor
to escape his observation. Speaking o.
the rumors concerning Arthus's death,
he writes:

And whilst his iron did on the anvil cool,
With open mouth, swallowing tailor's news.'
In q recent address to the medical de-
partment of the university of Glasgow,
Professor George Buchanan, among
many other things, described simple
remedy for eustachian deafness. He
says that in family, upon which ne was
attending, a young lady asked him if he
could do anything for deafness. He said
that he did not profess to practice aural
surgery, but requested her to swallow
some water two or three times while she
held her nostrils compressed between
her finger and thumb. His surprise was
great when he called next morning to be
told that after swallowing the third time
she experienced sensation Of cracking

0nen Grange Meetings.

There is but little doubt that open
meetings of the Grange could be held
monthly during the winter season, that
ould be Of great service in promoting
the cause of agriculture. Discussion be-
gets progress, and it is not possible for
any farmer to spend an hour listening to,
or taking part in a discussion on the best
methods OF raising crops or stock even,
as they are ordinarily conducted, with
out deriving real benefit thereirom.
These open meetings for the special
discussion Of the best and most profit
able methods OF the culture and sale of
crops, would stimulate the members OF
tho Grange, as we'll as their nelghbOrs,
who are still in waiting without the
gates, to the adoption of more thor
ough and better system of agriculture.
1t would afford an opportunity tor the
statement Of numerous individual expe-
riences, which would settle many ques-
tions in the brief space of single hour,
which would otherwise have remained a
matter of doubt, resulting perhaps in an
nual losses to the husbandman.
There is nothing like a brisk fire OF
well-directed questions to annihilate
some carefully guarded statement which
has served as the protection OF some
cherished error, and so expose, by a
single attack, the fatally weak point of
some plausible theory, that would other
wise have been perpetuated for years.
Discussions which lead farmers to in
yestigate the causes that produce GER
tain results, and which tend TO show
them that there is apparently no limit to
the field of inquiry and progress, can
but have an ennobIing effect upon all
who choose to follow the plow.
Discussion and investigation will point
out new methods of doing things that
will supercede the old ones; and no far.
mer does his whole duty to himself OF
family, who does not keep pace with ad'
vanced agricultural thought. Discus.
sion leads to the abandonment of old
theories which have no foundation ir
fact, and to the adoption of new methods

tendencies of the tunes,

Value Of Sish.FOod

Many elaborate comparisons have been
made as to the comparative food-values
of butcher.meat and fish and occasional
controversies have arisen on the subject,
in which the utmost diversity Of opinion
has been expressed. Some economic
writers maintain that fish has no food
value worth speaking Of; others say
that fsh-food must occupy middle po-
sition between vegetables, and beef and
mutton. Again, learned authority says
that fish, well-cooked, with oil or fat OF
some kind, or served with butter when
brought to table, ''is chemically the
same as butcher-meat, so tar as nutrition
is concerned" Another writer says that
fish, as food, is only tit for children and
invalids, and is totally unfit to support
the health and vigor OF men or women
engaged in laboriOus occupations. AS
usual in such disputes, we may hold that
the truth lies between the two extremes.
Many people following laborious occupa-
tions, especially in Scotland, live largely
upon fish. In that country, the fisher
men themselves eat considerable por-
tion, and as class, fishermen are strong
and healthy; and the wives, who under
take part ot'the mems work, are still
stronger and healthier. In Portugal, fish
fried in oil forms very large proportion

diet is supplemented by little bread

the land never partake OF fresh-meat,
yet they are a hardy, vigorous, and
brave people. Let it be remembered
that fish is necessity of life in France
and Spain, and as regards the latter
country, a, constant organization is at
work In our own islands to supply i
with many kinds of cured fish. A huge
portion of the pilchards taken on the
coast of Cornwall, as well as many hun
dred hogsheads of cured and smoked
fherrings, are sent to the Spanish mar
kets.-Chambers Journal.

The contract as yet has not been

ing a new bridge are claimed to be much
over accepting the proposition OF the
Newport company to use.their bridge, at
| the foot of Butler street, for the reasons
| that it would cost by this plan 100000
more than to construct an entire new

offers, in view to location, which were at

above came up for consideration in a

upon to locate the road through Chatta-
nooga, Tennessee. The route selected
