In view of the fact that the House Com
mittee on Appropriations proposes to reduce
the salaries of poor clerks ten per cent, most
people will favorably regard Mr.. Fosters
proposition TO cut down Congressmen's sal
aries in the same ratio. TIE present salaries
OF government clerks were, In tue main,
liked In 1S5S or 1859, when Congressman re-
celved an annual compensation of 50 900. A
reduction of ten per cent, to accord with the
cutting down of clerks salaries, which have
not been raised since the years mentioned
would leave the salaries OF Congres5men
$500. Certainly Mr.. Fosters proposition
does lot seem unreasonable.

THE CENTENNIAL.-A gentleman from this
vicinity now in Philadelphia writes that "hun-
dreds will come to the Exhibition too early.
Quite number Of the tuildings belonging to
the Centennial will not be ready for occupancy
for two weeks, after which the goods must be
put in and arranged, requiring still longer
time. A prominent merchant informed me
that he did not think that there would at any
time be any lack of Accommodations, the re-
sources in that direction are so immense. Me-
chauics get good board for 50 per week. Lodg-
ing houses have been fitted up in which good
single beds can be had from thirty five to fifty
cents. Sirloin steaks are furnished for twenty
cents. and other things in proportion. Tickets
on the horse cars from any part of the city to
the Centennial grounds are sold four for
twenty-five cents. Carpenters work for 81. so

equal to the demand. People about to build

THE project of funding the national debt is
continually obstructed by those legislators
who, strong in the opinion of their own wis
dom and quite regardless Of the teachings Of
experience, estimate the value of govern
ment bond much higher than do the capital
lists and bankers who have to deal with
them. If the capitalist suggests a five per
cent. bond the Congressman is quite sure
that tour-and-a-half per cent. can be nego-
tiated; if the capitalist thinks he can manage
four-and-a-half the Congressman favors a
four per cent. should the capitalist look ia
vorably upon the four per cent. tae Congress
man suggests three-sixty-five. Meanwhile
the country continues to pay six per
cent. interest on much of its Indebtedness.

How TO EAT AN APPLE.-There is no fruit
more serviceable to the people than apples
They contain sugar, gum, much malic acid and
some valuable mineral matter. 1t is true that
apples often produce indigestion and flatulence,
but generally the ca1se is in the manner in
whch they are eaten. Apples contain great
quantity of .fred air, and if eaten hastily the
air passes into the stomach, becomes heated,
expands, and causes flatulence in persons with
weak digestion. Such persons should choose
fresh, mildly tart apple, then scrape it to fine
pulp, aud thoroughly mix it with saliva before
swallowing. If it is too troublesome TO scrape
the apple then it should be chewed till every
cell is broken down and the air is liberated.
Pbysiologically, the apple acts as stomachic
by prompting digestion, and when taken in the
morning it becomes laxative. Its action on
the liver is favorable to the health of this
organ. 1t also corrects the evils of too much
and too highly concentrated food.-Herald of
Health.
