SQUIRRELS-PoISoN.- some PARTS of

DANGERoUs.-We are informed that a
number of the little shavers of onr city are
in the habit of congregating at the railroad
depot on the arrival of trains about noon
each day, where they endanger their lives
By jumping on and off the track i'm front of
moving trains. jumping on the cars az they
move off, aud, when under full Roadway,
jumping from the train. At different
times boys have run narrow escapes, their
lives being saved by a hairsbreadth, so 20
speak. by their temerity, yet the little seal
lawags continue their pranks despite all
that has hitherto been done to cause them
to desist. It would be we'll for parents to
look after this matter. as it is altogether
probable it they do not, there will be fu-
neral in some household ere long. Small
children, those especially who take their
dinner to school with them, and spend their
incoming almost entirely at or about the
depot. should be warned, by botl. teachers
and parents. not to go near the depot at
train time. Attention to this matter now
may save some bright, but reckless little
bog. from being killed outright or made
cripple for life.

ABOUT CfDER.--Tt is asserted by those
who have examined into the matter, that
sweet cider affords IA much nourishment
as the potato, and apple eaters are rarely
if ever bilious or dyspeptic. sThe apple
is a tonic in quality" says writer 'taIitl
contains phosphorus in greater quantity
than any other vegetable. This being the
case, it is most fitting diet for Americans,
who live in such a state of mental excite
ment. and are SO indisposed to bodily exer-
ton. 1t feeds the brain, stimulates the liv-
er, which is just what we need. Sweet
cider, taken in moderation of course, Is
the most healthfnl beverage known. In
the Older times cider was as plentiful in
New England and New Jersey as rim or
diadfre in France, and the consequence of
its now being so little used Is seen in the
decay of a vigorous people into irritable.
nervous whisky drinkers. It has virtues
which give it great and specific value in
one Of the most painful and distressing dis
eases to which the male sex is subject.
When children ask for apples, give them
as many as they can possibly manage. Eat
them in abundance yourself, and we will
have less bilious and dyspeptic people
among us.
