THE SAVINGS OF LABOR.

The question of securing the saw
'ngs of labor above and beyond the
changes of property values or the
mutations of business has attracted
the attention of the leading govern
ments Of the DID world, and the time
has come when our government
should open some channel for the
complete protection of such deposits.
In France the government bond is
issued as low as 100 francs, about $50,
in whi'h the industrial classes can
invest their surplus earnings. The
bonds pay low rate of interest,
little less than three per cent, and are
convertible into government money
At the option Of the holder. They
are a safe investment, certain as to
interest, fixed in their value at par
beyond the capriccs or combinations
Of brokers, and always command the
best money the nation has, at par.
In England the postal deposit system
Is the protection afforded the labor
ing people. Any sum, not exceeding
ten dollars in one deposit, can be de-
posted at any regular post office, for
which a certificate is given, bearing
low rate Of interest, and payable at
the pleasure of the holder unless
otherwise stipulated. In this way
the government gives safety to more
than $l00,000,000 Of the small saw
ings of her laborers, and it has prov
ed economical for the government and
convenient ana safe for the depOsi-
tors. We have some doubt ns TO the
prepriety of our government issuing
bonds, but it seems i'm
perative that convenient and safe
system for security of the peoples saw
ings he devised. If long time bonds |
of small denomination, drawing four |
cent. interest, were offered at all post |
offices, we believe hundreds OF mill I
ions would be taken by the people. |
There can be no good reason why |
our Indebtedness should not be made |
to serve the pressing necessities of
the industrial classes and ut the same |
time save millions in the interest we
are nov paying Oh it. A four per |
cent. bond, issued 10 denomina-
tons of s25 and upwards, would be |
eagerly sought by thousands of small !
investors, and twenty years hence our
debt would, perhaps, be all |
held in this way at hime. These |
bonds would be absolutely safe, and |
could be converted into cash any day |
at par. We must provide some safe
for those who save in
small sums from week To week, and
it seems to US this is the best for
both government and people.

THE reduction of the national
debt during the last year was S41,-
205,000. Our credit is now good at
home and abroad, and now we can
await the revival of industry and
trade before making further re-
ductions of the debt than are requir-
ed by law. We are now paying it
out of crippled capital; it should be
paid wholly out of the profits of
well.requited labor and prosperous
business.

A Valuable Hint.

A Missouri farmer writes; "Of all
the wasteful habits of farmers there is
none SO far-rcaching in its effects as that
of wasting manure. How shall We stop
this immense wastagc of farmers capital
We cannot reach the greatest offenders
through the agricultural press, because
such men do not read. AS Il fair example
of this sllort-sightcd policy, take the case
of farmer in nv neighborhoOd. This
farm is capable of producing seventy-five
bushels of corn per acre under judicious
system of cultivation; it is now rented
out, and the plan OF each successive
renter is to take everything off and put
nothing on. How long this can continue
is only a question of time. The yards are
so full of manure that it is a difficult task
to get to the stable in wet time. The
renter might make three dollars day
hauling out this manure on the corn flcld
the first year, and it would he worth two
dollars a day the second year, and its cf-
fccts would he felt for four years or
more. Yet, the manure lies wasting in
the yard, because of the carclessncss OF
the owner Of the land, and the lndlfter.
cncc of the renter. About ten years ct
such farming will exhaust the available
clements of fertility, and the farm will
not pay one per cent. on the investment
know q farm not Il thousand miles from
st. Louis, that once paid the owncr-an
entcrprising German-a fair income.
Nine wears ago the farm was sold and
rented out, and the farm has so run down
that the present owner had to send money
last year to pay the taxes. The farmer
that will let farm run down on his hands
has mistaken his calling, and ought to
have been ditch-digger or the owner OF
a buck-saw saw-mill, or President of a
railroad company, or driver of boss.
car If such farmers would take Gree.
ley's advice, and go West about 5000
miles, and pillow the Vastly deep the
world would be the better for it."

Exposure Of Young Children to the
Cold.

WE should say that no child too young
to walk or run should be taken out when
the external temperature is below fifty
degrees; that the rooms in which they
live and sleep should never be below fifty
eight degrees; and the day room should be
three or four degrees warmer. The prac-
tice of wheeling children about in peram-
bulators, sitting or reclining in one posi-
ton without exercise, is particularly
harmful. We would earnestly appeal to
mothers to put aside all feelings of vanity,
or what is sometimes miscallcd natural
pride, and cover the arms, neck and legs
of their children as simple sanitary pre-
caution. High frocks, long sleeves and
warm stockings should be worn out out
of.doors; hats which cover the head, and
boots which keep the feet as dry and
warm as possible. On coming in from
our streets, nearly always damp, both
boots and stockings should be changed !;
and, if the feet be cold, warm foot bath
should be used for few minutes. The
exquisite pain of chilblains could be saved
to many children by this use of hot water
for hands and feet. We see that flannel
has yielded to mcrino, chiefly on account
of the greater convenience of ready made
clothing; but there is nothing equal
to flannel in the property of preserving
warmth.-BritisA Medical Journal.

Requisites in Dairy Farms.

In the first place the land should be
we'll adapted to grass, and sufficiently uH-
dulating or rolling so that surface water
will be readily carried of. Land that is
naturally wet and full of swalcs or low
swampy places may possibly produce
grass beautifully, but such grass will be
inferior for pasturage. The best milk
will be made on upland or well-drained
pastures, but the soil should have enough
clay in its composition to be retentive of
moisture without being wet; for il it be
too sandy and dry, grass will fail as warm
weather approaches, and the feed in sum.
mer will be parched and brown and liable
to be too scanty for the full sustenance of
the stock.
A clay loan is perhaps as good soil for
dairy purposes as can be had, though any
soil where grass is enduring and is not
subject to the objections we have named
will be well adapted to dairying, provid-
ing 1t is supplied with springs or streams
of never-failing water. ), In our remarks
we have had especial references pastures,
but It will mot be necessary that the whole
farm be of the character we have de.
scribed, for the meadow lands, or those to
be used for growing hay, may be more
moist or wet than the pasturage. Not un-
frequently largo crops of hay are pro-
duced from low and rather wet lands /;

Cloud Banners OF the Alps.

Among the most exquisite scenes which
delight the eye of the European traveller are
those wonderful r0se-cOlOred clOud-banners,
floating from the Alpine cliffs. But it is
these beautiful tokens. 80 1t is only in the
glow of health-the sunlight Of our inner be-
ing-that nature reveals those physical cloud
banners, the "rOsy chcek' and "cherry
lip,"to praise which every poet of the earth
has invoked the Muse to aid him. But they
are as rare as the cynical Hood conceived
Christian charity to be. Woman, eager to
rouge. The effect is similar to that which
would be produced by substituting auc.
tionccrs' flags for the delicate glowing cloud
banners of the Alps. If woman would aid
Nature instead of adopting art, would seek
health instead of vainly trying to mask dis
case, she would not only win the greatest
charm of womanhood-hcalth-bu she
would avert much misery both from herself
and others. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton has received the highest praise from
thousands of pale, delicate, suffering women.
One bottle often affords more relief than
months of treatment by caustics and other
medicines. 1t is harmless in any condition
of the system, and its use often renders the
modest invalid exempt from that most try
ing of ordeals-a personal consultation with
q physician. 1t is the duty of every woman
to become familiar with the causes and
symptoms of the many diseases to which her
peculiar organization renders her liable, and
also TO learn the proper means of preventing
these maladies. The Peoples Medical Ad.
wiser contains an extensive treatise upon
"Woman and her Diseases" The Author
also advises courses of domestic treatment,
which will often render the services OF 9
physician unnecessary. Every woman should
read it. A copy Of the Adviser can be OBJ

INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS.

Just as a certain Dr. r. J. Owens, of
st. Louis, a man of unknown anteccdents,
thought he had got rich hciress of that
city, Miss Julia Wilcus, she put her foot
down and refused to let the ceremony
90 on. This occurred when DR.. kuther-
ford's church was filled with the gayest
society of st. Louis, assembled to witness
the ceremony.
"A Fair Haven, VT, drug clerk sent J..
J. Perkins to the happy hunting grounds
the other day, by giving him hcllebore in
stead of valerian. The drug clerk was
much chagrined when they told him of
his mistake, and he said the first day there
wasn't much doing he believed he'd have
to paste labels on some of the bottles; the
old man was getting to carry such a stock
of stuff on the shelves now, that no fellow
could remember half of 1t.
AT Woburn, Mass, the other day,
Mr.. Joseph Manning was assisting a
neighbOr in the removal of his goods, and
carried in his hands valuable mirror.
As he travelled along ne passed goat: who
resented the reflection cast upon him, and
charged upon the mirror with all his
might. Mr.. Manning was too much as
tonished at the impetuous rush Of his
bearded foe to avoid the catastrophe, and
the mirror was shattered to pieces.
"A citizen of Hartford, Conn.,, tells the
following story of Gen. Wade Hampton:
Gen. HamptOn's father, who was mill
ionaire, had three children-One son and
two daughters. At his death he left to
each daughter, by his will, 500, 900; the
rest of his large property he left to the
son Wade. After the funeral the will
was shown to the son. He read Through
very carefully, and then threw it into the
fire, saying, "I'll never consent to take a
larger share of the estate than the others.
Let the property be divided equally among
the three"
About 1850 on Christmas morning,
as the congregation of st. Bridget's
Church, in Buffalo, were celebrating high
mass, a portion of the floor. about twenty
by thirty feet on the southwestern corner,
commenced to settle. Instantly the large
crowd, which completely filled the
church, were panic-stricken and rushed
for the door. Luckily the floor only set
tled about five feet, and the scare somc-
what subsidized. Still large stove, situ-
ated in the same corner, was overturned,
and the floor began to burn. This in
creased the excitement, and would un-
doubleday have ended in long list of
deaths but for the presence of mind of
few men who reached out doors by q
back door, got some water anu cxtin-
guished the flames.
