Anew Kind of Indian Corn.

From the Austin Reveille
What has the Indian gained by his
contact with civilization In exchange
for mis- robe OF rabbit skins he has gained
the blanket; for his rabbit and pine
nut diet he has exchanged the luxuries
of slaughter house offal, stale fruit and
kitchen refuse; he has been introduced
to cards and made acquainted with wills
ky. One would think that these We're
compensation enough for any well-regu
lated Indian; but when 1t is considered
that his "untutored" mind knew not the
white mans corn till he exchanged the
moccasin of barbarism for the boot and
brogan of civilization, the heart of the
humanitarian must bleed for the misery
inflicted on fast fading race. The toe
corn was an excrescence unknown to the
Indian foot until the son of the forest
commenced pinching his feet with the
cast-of boot and shoe of the pale face.
Indians of wealth sometimes enjoy the
very luxury of misery that comes of
breaking in pair of new boots.

Mixed Marriages.

From the Catholic Telegraph j
A Protestant contemporary asserts that
the Catholic Church invalidates all mar
riages which are not solemnized by her
priesthood. This is not true. The Cath
Ollie Church has never taught this either
by decree of council or pastOrate of a
Bishop. When the education of the
managers of Protestant journals is adj
vanced far enough to see distinction
between the legality and validity of an
act, and to discern that the latter can
exist without the former, they will have
advanced one step in acquiring some
knowledge of what the Catholic Church
gives to each on the subject of marriage
1t is not the doctrine of the Catholic
Church that marriage between a Cath
Ollie and Protestant, contracted in an I'M
lawful way outside the Church, has no
validity.
The Catholic party by such an act COM
mits grievous sin and violates a law of
the Church; but if the other party be
baptized, the contract is binding for life.
The tie in this case is indissolube.
Christian marriage being a sacrament, is
like all others subject to the authority of
the Church. To mixed marriages, where
the non-Catholic party is baptized, and
therefore member of the body of the
Church, there is attached a prohibiting
impeachment that only makes it illicit
The Catholic doctrine is different when
the Catholic party has not received
the sacrament of baptism. Then the
marriage is null and void. for the imped-
iment established by the Church is of
different order. 1t not only prohibits but
invalidiates, and that which passes for
marriage is, in the eyes of God and the
Church, only continuous state of sinful
concubinage.

Evergreen branches are more useful
for this purpose than any other covering
which we have employed. If not put on
so thickly as entirely to exclude light,
they are less liable than anything else to
injure the plants by smothering. Straw
is apt to become packed fiat on the straw
berries after soaking rain. Dry leaves
are still worse by excluding air and light
The same fault exists with manure BY
using thin covering of eyergreens the
strawberry plants will come out in Wig
orous condition with bright green foliage
and not brown and injured like those
which are exposed TO all the changes Of
freezing and thawing. The evergreens
are easily applied and removed, and leave
the bed clear-Country Gentleman.

EsefGI Family Hints.

REMEDY FOR DEAFNEss.-Drop three
or four drops of glycerine in the ear be-
fore retiring at night; in the morning
syringe the ear with warm water, and
continue this practice faithfully for some
time. The deafness and singing often
result from a collection Of wax on the
tympanum or drum of the ear, and the
glycerine has the effect to loosen it, while
the water removes it. | have known this
experiment to be successfully tried on
persons eighty years old, when the hear
ing would naturally be very imperfect
Pauline.
To DRIVE OFF RHEUMATIsM.-1f
''Sufferer" will take one or two Russian
baths per week, using cold water freely,
and diet himself, that is, eat or drink
nothing that disagrees with his cOnstitu-
ton, rheumatism will be a stranger to
him..
FACIAL Naturalization me to
say to "Sufferer," that nine-tenths, and
probably a much greater proportion, of
facial neuralgia comes from the ABSORB
ton into the system Of mephitic comes
gases, which are generated in the other
wise vacant roots and pulp cavities of
dead teeth, or from the growth of small
spicula of bone in the nerves of living
teeth. In either case, the disease can be
painIessly and radically cured.-Dr. II.
S. N.
RELIEF FOR NEURALGIA.-lf sufferer
will use oil Of peppermint-nOt essence
for neuralgia, he will have speedy relief;
apply with a camePs hair brush, or the
tip Of your finger.-E.
RELIEF FOR CHAPPED HANDs.--In-
dian meal and vinegar, or lemon juice,
used on the hands when roughened by
cold or labor will heal and soften them;
rub the hands in this, then wash
thoroughly and run with glycerine.-
Lille.
RELIEF FOR CHAPPED HANDs-II.-TO
three ounces of melted mutton tallow add
one ounce of glycerine and two table
spoonfuls of alcohol camphor, stirring all
slowly until it becomes a smooth cream.
RELIEF FOR CHAPPED HANDs-III.-
Rub strained honey on the backs
of the hands Immediately after each
washing and while wet, then dry
off with soft towel; after two or three
applications the hands will become healed
and srhootn.-C. Il.
RELIEF FOR CHAPPED HANDs-IV.-l
One-half pint water, one-half pint alco-
hol, one dram borax, one half ounce ely
cerine; mix thoroughly, and apply to
hands before going into the cold. Do |
not wipe the hands, but let the solution |
dry upon them.
To POLISH SILvER.-Have a dish of |
very hot water at hand, soft linen rag
for washing; also very soft cloth of good |
size, for drying; a cake of silver soap ;
rub soap on your wash-cloth, and rub
separately each piece of silver, using a
fine quality of silver or tooth brush,
especially on the ornamental work, about
the handles, and wherever necessary;
dry at once, and polish vigorously with
chamoise skin this should be done once
week, or better still, twice, and there
will be no use for powder, which in time
will unavoidably turn the silver dark

Prepare the cuttings of convenient

years wood. Let the lower end be cut
Oft smoothly, just below the bud; cut
the top end about an inch above a bud.
After a little practice, it will be no
trouble to follow this rule, and one will
always be able to distinguish the top and
bottom ends of the cuttings at sight
Grape cuttings on this plan should con
tain from two to four buds. Tie the cut
tings in bundles about three inches in di.

that will not rot in the dirt; make the

deep, with mellow earth. pat down

On the approach of warm weather,
when the frost has all left the ground.

off the manure, but do not disturb the

Action of Tobacco on the system.

Some years ago the French govern
ment directed the Academy Of Medicine
to inquire into the influence Of tobacco
on the human system. The report Of
the commission appointed by the acade-
my states that a large number Of the
diseases of the nervous system and OF the
heart, noticed in the cases of those affect
ed with paralysis or insanity, were to be
regarded as the sequence of excessive in
diligence in the use of this article; and it
is remarked that tobacco seems primari-
ly to act upon the organic nervous sys-
tenn, depressing the faculties and infu-
encing the nutrition of the body, the
circulation of the blood, and the num-
Der of red corpuscles in the blood. At
tention is also called to the bad diges-
ton, benumbed intelligence, and cloud
ed memory of those who use tobacco to
to excess.
