How the German Government LoOks
After the Finances.

A Berlin letter to Zion's Herald has
the following: Every body has implicit
confidence in the German rulers at Ber-
lin. Not cent of money is misappro-
priated; the largest military establish
ment in the world is managed without
trace of corruption. In the summer
of 1878, about sc, 900 TROOPS met in and
about Hanover for drill. Their board
and lodging was engaged and paid for
by Government officials; but, the ac-
commodations not being thought suffi-
cient, private arrangements were fre-
quently made, by which. the soldiers
supplied themselves with many extras
A provision dealer was engaged to ac-
company $50 men to a small village,
the bargain being that he should have
his board and lodging, free, besides the
profits on what he sold. The soldiers
paid, every day, out of theirown pock-
cts for his board and lodging; but, one
evening, soldier (who is now a stu
dent in Gottingen, and told me the sto
ry) forgot to pay a half groschen "a
little over one cent?, and so it was
charged to the Government, and paid
by the officials in Hanover. The dis
crepancy, however, was detected in
Berlin, and an explanation required.
My friend, the student, Immediately
sent the half groschen to the village,
and wrote to Hanover, saying that he
had forgotten to pay, but that the mat
ter was all right now. In the course of
the next summer he received long
communication from Berlin, charging
that the payment of the half groschen
by private person only made the mat
ter worse. A full and complete ex-
planation was required from the officers
of the regiment. 1s4 s5fe t0 TTHa4

Ancient and Modern Prisons.

Most Americans who have travelled in
Europe have seen the dark cells built IN
the foundations of the Doge's palace at
Venice, or those peculiar boxlike struc-
lures in the town halls of Ratisbon, Nu-
remberg, and other places, where pris-
oners were formerly penned in smaller
quartz than the dens of animals. They
are entirely dark, with but one small
opening, ceiling only six or at most
seven feet high. No bed was supplied
the prisoner, and no one entered his
cell for any purpose whatever. What
confinement in such q pen must have
been can only be imagined from a :
port made by the surgeon-general upon
the hygiene of the United States army.
The cells in the guardhouse at Madison
barrack, Sacketts Harbor, n. Y. are
nine feet six inches high, and eight feet
eleven inches by four feet in area, and
he describes them as follows: "The
cells have no ventilation whatever, and
there is no light, except narrow spot
that appears at an aperture near the
ceiling, twelve inches by three inches in
size. They are dark, cold, damp, and
gloomy, and in them q prisoner is
smothered and punished in a chilly
stony den in style worthy of the dark
ages. The e1halations of man in q
single night accumulate in sufficient
quantity to nearly extinguish Lighted
candle set on the floor. In them man
is not only deprived of his liberty,
light, and his life's breath, but his Owl
ef1uvia turn upon him as a poison.
Happily they are seldom occupied.

A Rich Enginenan.

The Jersey City Argus says: Lloyd
Clark. an engineer on the Long Branch
division of the Central railroad, IS
probably the richest man holding such
q position in the country. For several
years he ran an engine on the central
Pacific road, during which time, becom-
inc seized with the speculative fever,
he launched out, buying and selling gold
and stocks, always with success. until at
the end of five years he came East, the
owner of between S75, 900 and 800, ,0OO.
He established himself in New York
with view of living in manner con-
sistent with his means, but such life
was too irksome, and after several az,
tempts he gave up the experiment, and
securing a position on the Central went
to work at his favorite business. Mr.:
Clark is one of seven brothers, all OF
whom are railroad engineers in different
parts of the world.

A TOOthaehe Remedy.

DR.. Duckworth, of st. Bartholomew s
hospital, London, has recently success
fully used bicarbonate of soda as a
remedy for severe toothache, when ap-
p.ications of chloroform, either external
iy to the cheek or to the ear, or placed
on cotton in the decayed tooth, failed ;
and when carbolic acid, applied as last
mentioned, also proved imperative.
Pledgets of cotton, soaked in solution
of thirty grains of bicarbonate of soda
in one fluid ounce of water, gave almost
instant relief. DR.. Duckworth considers
that very frequently the pain is due to
the contract of acid saliva with the de-
cayed tooth; and therefore it is iupor-
tant, in cases of odontalgia, first to de-
termine whether the saliva had an acid
reaction. If this be tue case, then a
simple alkaline application, as above
stated, is the most efficacious :: cans OF
cure.
Cases of toothache are such common
accompaniments to disordered stomach
that there seems every reason for the
truth of the above authors conjecture.
Doubtless on the same ground IS due
the efficacy of ammonia, so frequently
recommended, but which, if applied
carelessly, is liable to produce more pair
by burning the gum than already exists
| in the tooth.
Bicarbonate of soda is found in every
kitchen, and hence no more handy
remedy could be devised, while it il
destitute of any painful effects and the
rationale of its operations and its sim
plicity make us wonder why it has no
been thought of before.

In the Household.

There is a pretty story Of a French
country family, which every mother
should read to teach her the true practl-
cal method of charity. She would learn
how, in the careful pious French
woman's menage, no scrap of clothing
or food is suffered to 60 to waste and
how the value of old garments is doubled
by their being cut and altered to ft the
poor children to whom they are given.
We propose that every housekeeper who
reads this shall begin to make OF this
year a prolonged Christmas. Let her
first find one or more really needy faml-
lies who are willing to work, and there
fore deserve such help as she can give.
This is much safer outlet for her
charity than any agency or benevolent
society. In every household there Is o
perpetual stock of articles-clothes, bed
ding, furniture-too shabby for use,
and which in the great majority OF cases
are torn up, thrown away, or become
the perquisites of greedy servants al
ready overpaid. As soon as the house.
mother has some definite live objects OF
charity in her mind, it is astonishing
how quickly these articles accumulate,
and how serviceable they become by aid
of a patch here, or tuck there, sewed by
her own skilled fingers. Our children
should each be allowed to give away
their own half-worn clothes or toys.
The shoes or top given in the fullness
of their little hearts to some barefoot
Mary or Bob whom they know, will
teach them more of the spirit and prac-
tice of Christian charity than a dozen
missionaries boxes full of pennies for
the far-off heathen. The same oversight
should be exercised by the. mother OF a
family in the matter of food. Enough
wholesome provision, it is safe to say, Is
wasted in the kitchen of every WELT dc
American family to feed another OF hall
its size. Very few ladies will tolerate
regular back gate beggars, and the cold
meat, bread, ETC., 60 into the garbage
cart, because nobody knows precisely
what to do with them, A woman OF
society, or one with dominant aesthetic
tastes, will very likely resent the sug'
gestion that she should give half an
hour daily to the collection and dishibu'
tion of this food to her starving neigh
bors. But if they 60 unfed what
apology will it be for her in the time Of
closing accounts that her weekly recep
tions were the most agreeable in town
If she would establish, for instance,
big soup digester on the back of hel
range, and insist that all bones or scrap!
should 90 into it, her own hands coult
serve out nourishing basins of broth K
many a famishing soul the winter round
and really it would be g fine deed a.
though She had conquered Chopin OF
the ivory keys.-Scribner.
