The Value Of Tact.

Fredrick Douglass was travelling with
a friend Of another color in part of the
country where public sentiment was
bitterly hostile to the association Of
eolors. They stopped at q tavern and
dined together, at which spectacle the
village, growing and grumbling about
the stove in the bar-room, was immedi-
ately disposed to mischief. Tue bar
room philosophers were sadly troubled
for the honor of their color. sWhat
business has a white man to be travel
ing and eating with -nlgger, any
how II he doesn't know what's decent,
we'll teach nim." The crowd was, in.
deed, very anxious to give the offender
a few summary lessons in decency.
They were like duelists, who have a
ludicrous conceit that they know what
honor is. Douglass slipped out quietly,
and, returning after little while, he
remarked to his companion, in good.
humored way, that he had just seen q
very singular sight in the stable; and
the crowd turned to hear what IL was.
"You'H hardly believe it," said Doug
lass, addressing his companion as II

Indncad Lactatiou.

In the last issue of the Louisville
Medical News prominent physician
gives the following remarkable instance
Of induced lactation as occurring in his
professional experiences:
Mrs. -, of this city, married Lady,
but having no children, took an orphan
child three weeks old to raise. She be.
gan feeding the infant on cows milk,
tea and crackers, etc., and, as is usually
the case, the child soon got sick, and
thus was called in to prescribe. We
found it with slight diarrhea, and
somewhat emaciated, and continually
crying; indeed, the crying was almost
incessant, which was quieted only by
repeated doses OF paregorics
Our prognosis was, of course, unfa
vorable, for statistics show thai three
fourths OF the "spoon-ied" children die
before completing the first year. There
fore the plan OF treatment for our case
was to procure the natural food-that is,
a wet nurse; for we attribute the crying
and diarrhea 80 two causes, namely, loss
of its mother and the character of the
food; and thus to furnish wet nurse
could meet both indications. Alter dill
gent search wet nurse could not bt
| found. We then recommended the "nex
best thing" and that was for Mrs. -
to suckle the baby herseltl She wal
shocked at the suggestion at first, bu
after assuring her that thought it coult
be done, and citing othe
similar cases as reported b,
DR.. Gilfillan, of Brooklyn, and remarkiu
upon her great love for the infant, ant
it's dependence upon her for life, sht
came to look upon it as Christian dut!
to nurse the child, and sucklc it il pos
sible. Moreover, she was anxious to be
come a mother, but mad despaired OF be
looming one naturally, having been mar
ried five years; she the more readil
undertook the experiment. We allud
to these matters because we consider tn
mental influence OF greatest imDortanc
in the secretion Of milk, and think ou
treatment very favorably influenced b.
Ihaving cultivated desire IN tnat direc
ltion.
We directed her on retiring at night
mot to give the accustomed opiate, bu
let it take hold Of the breasts, whic
were well developed. The child too
hold with avidity, and after suckin
to sleep and slept nearly all night. TIL
following day we caused a large poul
tice of tue green leaves of the ricini
communis( castor oil plant) to be apple
land at the same time giving teaspoonfu
doses Of castor oil internally ever
three hours. At the end Of the trs
twenty -four hours she experienced
peculiar sensation in the breasts, aud il
three days the flow OF milk was well es
tablished. 1t is needless to add that tn
infant speedily recovered, and th
adopted mother experienced great satii
faction.

Strange Revelation by the Micro
aCOn6

There Is a story that an eminent micro
scopist had bit of substance submi tied
to him to decide what it was. 10 an uu-
aided eye it might be a morsel OF skin
which baggage-smasher had knocked
off the corner of smoothly worn hair
trunk. The savant appealed to his mi
croscope. Entirely ignorant of this tiny
bit Of matter, except as he had taken
the counsel with his instrument, the
wise man declared that it was the skin
of human being, and that, judging by
the fine hair on it, it was from the So
called naked portion of the body,
and, further, that it once belonged to a
fair-compleXioned person.
The strange facts now made known TO
the man Of science were these: That a
thousand years before, Danish maraud-
er had robbed an English church. In the
spirit OF the old-fashioned piety the rob-
ber was fayed let us hope that he was
killed frst), and the skin was nailed to
the church door. Except as tradition or
archaeological lore had it, the affair had
been forgotten for hundreds of years.
Time, the great erodent, had long ago
utterly removed the offensive thing,
Still, however, the church door held To
it's marks Of the great shame, for the
broad-headed nails remained. Some
body extracted one, and underneath its
fiat head was the Atomic remnant o.

that fair-skinned robber from the North

Ir Is commonly supposed that New
York is mueh larger city than Phila.
delphia. But New York has an area Of
only 26,71S acres to Philadelphia's 49,
800 acres. The number OF houses in
Philadelphia reach the grand total Of
100000, while New York can boast OF
only $4,000, just about one-half as many
houses, and not much over one-quarteI
as many acres OF space, as Philadelphia
has. But into her $4,000 houses New
York crowds 1,O48,O37 OF population,
while Philadelphia gives room in her
100, 900 houses to 100000 Of population
With half the number of houses and only
a little more than one-quarter as much
space, New York has about 200, 900 more
people than Philadelpnia has. From
these data the difference In health and
comfort between the two cities may be
estimated.

Irnpoverishment of Turkey.
[From the New York World.l

ltf0m tne new 1 OTR w Oflu.
The holders of Turkish bonds will
doubtless be interested to know how
their money is going. Herr Krupp is
fulfilling the Sultan's order for two num-
dred guns; another house is gradually
sending in six hundred thousand Mar
tini rifles, and two new iron-clads are in
course Of completion. Thus millions are
lavished on war material, but NO funds
are available for reproductive work.
Agriculture especially, which might be
the salvation of the country, is at an
even lower ebb than formerly, and both
in quantity and quality Turkish wheat
has declined.
Referring to this. French authority
states that in 1867, when other foreign
grain was averaging Al francs, Turkish
only fetched 26, and says that the yield
| in Turkey is one-fourth that Of France,
in almost the same area. A Council OF
Agriculture and Commerce has lately
been appointed, and an able official, who
studied under a distinguished French
economist, placed at the head Of 1t, but
all the commercial and agricultural
ability in the world will be powerless in
| the teeth OF the obstacles TO improve
ment existing in Turkey under the
present regime. The French revolution
was precipitated by hunger and fright
full taxation, and similar causes OF con-
yulsion are at work in Turkey. Those
| districts OF Asia Minor, where famine
reigned two years ago, continue in de.
piorable plight.
The traces Of the calamity are every
where visible. In one town, which had

the inhabitants possessed, scarcely q

Raising Spring Chickens for 1876.

Henry Anthony, living near Smyrna,
has a new process for growing spring
chickens for the Centennial, which, from
present indications, promises well. He
has house, about twelve by twenty
i've feet, with glass front and ends. He
has stove in it which he uses when
necessary. He set his first hens some
time in December, and now he has near.
ly four hundred little chicks. He ex-
poets to reach five hundred, and to be
able to ship his i1rst lot OF ''brodilers" in
May. Each hen has her own particular
compartment In the house, and the floor
is covered with little pens and thronged
with little chirpers. The house is lined
with tar paper to keep out vermin. and
SO far this seems TO accomplish all that
was claimed tor IL. The, success In
growing chicks has been remarkable, 80
