AR Efrcan 6aHe.

In one tribe after leaving Tanganyika,
Lieutenant Cameron found the women
much more regarded than usual among
Africans, and consequently far more
fashionable than the rest Of their sex
in that happy country.
One of the bellies Of the country is
thus described IN CamerOn's journal:
"She is merry sort Of person. Tins
Mrs. Pokwanywa, and really lady-like
in her manners. 1t was great fun show
ing her looking-glass.
"She had never seen one before, and
vas half afraid of it, and ashamed to
show she was afraid. She Is dressy
body, double rows Of cowries around
her head, besides copper, iron and ivory
ornaments stuck in her hair, and just
above and in front Of each ear tassel
of red and white beaGs. A large neck
lace of shells was around her nee and
around her waist string Of D.
colored sinagomazzi and rope madI Of
red beads. Her front apron was leopard
skin and the rear one Of grass cloth,
with its fringe strung with beads and
cowries sewed on in pattern /; bright
iron rings were round her ankles, and
copper and ivory bracelets were on her
arms; her nair was shaved little back
from the forehead, and three lines each
about a quarter Of an inch wide. were
painted below. The nearest one 20 the
lair was red, the next black and the
aext white. Her upper lip was per-
Grated and a piece Of stone inserted,
until the upper lip protruded a couple
Of inches, giving hideous expression 10
the face, and making her articulation
quite indistinct.

How to Succeed.

The first requisite 10 success is not to
undertake an unWise ana impracticable
thing. For this reason the advice often
inculcated by wise and great men has
been 70 give much time and reflection 10
the formation Of plans. BE slow 10 de-
eide; but, having resolved, be prompt to
act.
1t is not sufficient, by any means, to
be prompt in beginning 20 act. This is
easy 20 every one. 1t is the continued,
persevering, unhagging activity which,
alone, accomplishes great results.
The temptations which beset ones
steps at every stage TO deliver hls atten-
tion from the main pursuit lie has fixed
on, are almost innumerable, and to the
irresolute and weak they are found
irresistible. This accounts for numer-
Gus failures.
If man has not attained 10 what he
started for il will almost always be found
that he has been attending 10 something
else. The song Of the bird by the way
side fell upon his ear and charmed his
eve, and lie fingered when his pace
should have been onward and firm and
quick.
If you would insure success in your
undertaking, whatever it may be, let
nothing divert your attention from it.
Leave nothing undone, 10 matter how
seemingly little and unimportant it may
be, which is calculated to promote its
accomplishment. There is no other
way to make success certain. It is not
luck. 1t depends on doing, doing, DOING.
Yet simple as the lesson of success is
few as are its requisites-there is
nothing that people are slower 10 learn.

New York Times: Tie editors is
most fascinating employment; does not
require any previous education or PIE
paration, and pays enormously. The
principal occupation Of leading editors
is TO receive enormous bribes for iead-
ing articles; TO attend theaters, concerts,
and other places of public resort occu-
pying the best places, of course, and TO
inform political leaders how tley should
regulate affairs. Assistant editors and
reporters, who are scarce at $3.50 week,
generally work four hours day when
they are not away on vacations, have
free passes everywhere, and their COM
pany is contended for 10y the elite of the
city.

"A recent london letter to the Ned
icot Times gives an interesting abstract
of q lecture by DIR. Alfred Carpenter on
alcoholic Drinks as Diet, as Medicines,
and as poisons." The lecturer considered
that alcohol in any of it's forms may be
q good medicine, "but it is bad diet,
and that its action as a poison is visible
among all ranks of society" he
summed up its effects very strikingly in
saying that "work which is kept going
by continuous doses of alcohol always
ends in break down. If it is taken
for the purpose of increasing muscular
exertion, ultimately there is great loss
of muscular power, as all athletes know.
If mental exertions are kept going by
alcohol, there is mental breakdown.
as the lunatic asylums testify"

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAIN in the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top Of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
titc and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss Of men,
DRY, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation Of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
a slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him., yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

Honor I'm B7Sa Own Land.

Says Comley, in his recently.lssued "o1k:
The History of New York State, "Thc day
has passed when the benefactors of humanity
were allowed to live in ignominious poverty
their sacrifices, their labors, unrecom-
pensed. To-day, the bsnefactors OF the
people-the men who devote their lives and
energies to tee interests of humanlty-these
are the men whom the world delights to
honor, and whom it rewards with prlucely
fortunes. AS an earnest worker for the wei
fare of his fellow-men, DR.. r. V. PIERCE has
won their warmest sympathy and eeteem.
While seeking to be their servant onEy. he
hes become a prince among them. Yet the
immense fortune lavjshed upon hing by
generous people he noards not, but Avests
in the erection and establishment of institu-
!ions directly contrIbutive to the public
good, the people thus realizing, in their lib
eral patronage, a new meaning Of thaf beau
tiful Oriental custom of casting bread upon
the waters. Noted in both public and private
life for his answering integrity and all those
sterling virtues that ennoble manhood: DIR.
Pierce ranks high among those few men,
whose names the Empire State is justlYproud
to inscribe upon her roll of honors Am
btous, yet moved by an ambition Strictly
amenable to the most discriminating and
weltbalanced Judgment, his future :career
promises to be one Of unparalleled activity
and usefulness, ably supplementing the
work he has already accomplished, by a life
at once noble in effort, envia5Ie in its grand
results" While DR.. Pierce's genius and
energy have won for him so enviable a posi-.
ton on the records of a nation, having been
elected Senator by an overwhelming ma jCr.
ity, his justly celebrated Household tem-
edies have gained for him yet more deslr-
able place in the hearts of a gratefnlpeople.

sown with wheat, and though the farmer
did not SOW quart of clover seed, he
has as good "catch" as any one could
wish. Enough seed was wasted to seed
the ground, and, as the field was only
lightly cultivated in the spring for bar
lev, the seed was never turned up until
plowed for wheat, [ do not advise
trusting to such chance seeding as this.
Better SOW the field as usual, and let the
volunteer clover come in as extra to give
the soil closer mat and heavier growth.
The farmer who sows clover seed for a
few years will find it profitable far be-
yond the money value of the seed which
he sells.-Cor. Ame, icon Cuhiuator.

Niseaae Grows ApacC.

Like an i'll wind, and cannot be mastered
too early. What is trifiing attack of sick
ness to- day may, il unattended to, become a
serious case in a week. Small ailments should
be nipped in the bud before they blossom
into full blown maladies. If this ADVICE were
attended to, many heavy bill for medical
attendance might be avoided. When the
liver is disordered, the stomach foul, the
bowels obstructed, or the nerves disturbed,
resort should at once be had to that supreme
remedy, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a few
doses of which will restore healthy action
and put the system in perfect order. It is q
wise precaution to keep this incompatible
preventative in the house, since it checks
with unrivaled promptitude, disorders which
BIZ. cd others far more dangerous, and il
their latest developments are themselves
| often fatal.
St. Landry democrat., 1878-02-02
Mufclpfng and Moisture.

Itis we'll known fact that the mulch
ing of land will induce the growth OF
roots to the surface. So when the soil is
covered with a fiat stone, or where
arge boulder occurs at the surface, it
will induce the formation of network
of roots about itself when embedded in
the soil. So again, when wide plank is
laid on the ground and remains, it will
be found reticulated with roots on its
under part, and even extending into the
pores Of the wood. This is occasioned by
two causes combined the collection Of
nitrogenous matter there, in connection
with moisture, which is always conserved
in such situations. It has been att1ib-
uted to the collection of nitrogen there,
alone, but incorrectly, since with
out moisture, this would be entirely
unavailable to the roots. If this mulch
or other covering be removed, these
surface feeding roots Immediately die,
and others are formed in lower strata OF
soil where moisture is present. Hence,
mulch once given, it should be continued
to the end of the season at least.

Drinking and Drink Making
States,

It appears by official statistics that
North Carolina has the most distilleries,
1925; Kentucky next, 754; and Vir-
ginia third, SIG; while New York heads
the list of breweries with 379, Pennsyl-
vania and Wisconsin following with 361
and 266 respectively. Bat when it comes
to saloons there is closer ratio to popu-
lation. Thus, New York has 23,S54 !;
Pennsylvania, 16,1o5; Ohio, 14,24S ;
Illinois, 1O,54S. Massachusetts is cred
tied with 6,ss6, beating Indiana with its
larger population by over thousand
saloons. The District of Columbia, in
proportion to its population, has alto
gether the largest number of saloons,
I165, which perhaps is to be regarded as
a representative fact. How much of the
excess is due to the resident and how
much to the floating population is an
interesting question, but the statistic:
throw no light upon it.-Boston Journal

Saratoga Potatoes.

Some years ago everybody ate of the
fried potatoes prepared in some of the
hotels at Saratoga, but more especially
at the Lake House at Saratoga Lake,
where they were prepared in perfection.
On one occasion, being there with a
friend, lady and gentleman made their
appearance on the piazza, where little
tables are placed, at which many persons
were sucking their cobblers and eating
those pretty curled up potatoes. The
party was evidently English, and stylish
society people. The lady stopped at our
table, and partially STOPPING down to see
what in the world we could be eating,
when we quietly blurted out "potatoes!"
She laughed and passed on, but in few
minutes they were trying the article
themselves, much to their apparent sat-
isfaction. Now, however, we have pota-
toes cooked just as artistically and tooth
some as at Saratoga Lake. The way it is
done is no longer secret, and is as fol-
lows: The tools are common cabbage
cutter, two wire sieves and "spider."
Take, say eight large potatoes, pare them
and slice very thin with the cutter, stir
into it one teaspoonful of salt to quart,
and let them remain half an hourin that.
Pour them into the sieve to drain, and
when we'll drained, wipe the slices dry;
put pound of lard into the spider, and
when it becomes smoking hot put in the
potatoes. They must be constantly
stirred to prevent the pieces from adher-
ing to one another, and until they are
sufficiently Drowned to make your mouth
water, when they should be served at
once.

Protection to Calves.

A mistake is in letting calves remain
out so late, oftentimes until the first
snow comes, with no protection save the
trees and fences. The farmer who thought
fully cares for his animals and for his
farm is one to be honored and respected,
but the one who is always running to the
store for bag Of meal, as SOME do, and
to his neighbors for a bushel Of potatoes,
remarking that the season has been very
bad ono and that his crops were awful
light, whose cattle stand in the cold halt
starved, deserves to be kicked out OF town,
and is disgrace to his Maker. Il our
farmers would only look at farming as a
merchant does to his business and a lawyer
to his, we should soon pass over all o.
these errors and be continually studying
how to do better.

midnight are heavier than at any other
hour of the twenty -four; and when the
new moon occurs at midnight this in
crease Of weig ght or gravity felt by mat
ter on this part of the surface of the
earth is still greater. Now, if this theory
were correct, attraction would produce
just the opposite effect; that is, matter
would weigh less at midnight than at any
other hour Of the twenty-four. On the
side of the earth facing the sun and
moon, the weight of bodies is dimin-
isbed as it should be.

MAKE RE A SONG.

Ont of the silences make me song,
Beautiful, sad and soft and low;
Let the loneliest music sound along
And wing each note with wall o. woe,
Dim and drear
As hopes last tear.
Out of the silences make ME hymn,
Whose sounds are shadows soft and dim.
Out of the stiffness in your heart
thousand songs are sleeping there
Make me but one, thou child OF art,
The song of hope in a last despair,
Dark and low,
A chant of woe,
Out OF the stiffness, tone by tone,
Soft as a snowflake, wild as moan.
Out Of the darkness flesh me a song,
Brightly dark and darkly bright;
Let it sweep as a lone star sweeps along
The mystical shadows OF the night,
Sing it sweet.
Where nothing is dear, or dark, or dim.
And earth-songs melt Into Heavens hymns.
