SOMETHING ABOUT YoUIsELF.-Sup-
posing your age to be fifteen years, OF
thereabouts, you can be figured up to o

cles your blood weighs twenty-five
pounds; your heart is nearly FIVE inches
in length, and three inches in diameter
it beats seventy times per minute, 4,200
times per hour, 100,S0O times per day,
and S0,722,O00 times per year. At each
beat little over two ounces of blood is
thrown out of it, and each day it re.
ceives and discharges about seven tons o.
that wonderful fluid. Your lungs will
contain gallon of air, and you inhale
$4,000 gallons per day. The aggregate
surface of the air cells of your lungs.
supposing them to be spread out, exceeds
10000 square inches. The weight OF
your brain is three pounds; when you

The WAGONS. few people are
aware that they do wagons and carriages
more injury by greasing too plentifully,
than in almost any other way. A well
made wheel will endure common wear
from ten to twenty-five years, if care be
taken to use the right kind and proper
amount of grease; but if this matter is
not attended 10, they will be used up in
five or six years. Lard should never be
used on wagon, for it will penetrate the
hub and work its way out around the
lemons of the spokes, and spoil the wheel.
Tallow is the best lubricator for wood
axie-trees, castor oil for iron. Just
enough grease should be applied to the
spindle of a wagon to give it light
coating; this is better than more, for the
surplus put on will work out at the ends
and be forced by the shoulder bands and
nut washers into the hub around the out
side of the boxes. To oil an iron axle
tree, first wipe the spindle clean with a
cloth wet with spirits of turpentine, and
then apply few drops of castor oil near
the shoulder and end. One tablespoonful
is amply sufficient for the whole. Let
the fifth wheel of the carriage alone; if
it CRATES tighten the king bolt, but keep
grease off of it.

A DIPLOMATIC ANswER.-The old
man Smith, of Richfeld, is self-sufi-
cieut sort of old fellow, and prides him
self upon his riding abilities. One day
he espied his young hopeful leading a
colt to water rather gingerly, and re-
marked:
"Why, on earth don't you ride that
beast2"
"I'm 'fraid to; 'fraid he'll throw me-
"Bring that hoss here" snapped the
oil man.
The colt was urged up to the fence,
and braced on one side by the boy, while
the old man climbed on the rail and
stocked himself on the colts back. Then
he was let 90, and the old gentleman
rode proudly off. Paralyzed by fear, the
colt went slowly about twenty rods with,
out demonstration. Then, like light,
ming, his four legs punched together, his
back bowed like O viaduct arch and the
old man shot up in the air, turned seven
separate and distinct somersaults and lii
OH the small of his back in the middle oi
the road, with both legs twisted around
his neck.
Fastening to him the young hopeful
anxiously inquired:
"Did it hurt you, pa?"
The old man rose slowly, shook out
the knots in his legs, brushed the dust
from his ears and hair, and, rubbing hi:
bruised elbows, growled:
"Well, it didn't do me darned bit o.
good. You go home. ."-C2cvcland TO-.

A REMEDY FOR sLEEPLEssNEss.-
When ready for bed sit down in an easy
position, relaxing all the muscles of the
body, and let the head drop forward upon
the breast, as low as it will fall without
forcing it. Sit quietly in this way for q
few minutes, freeing all the will power
off the body, and a rcstful; drowsy feel
ing will ensue, which will, if not dis
turbed, lead to refreshing sleep.
If the sleepless fit comes on in the
night one can simply sit up in the posi-.
ton described. Stiffness of any part of
the body must be avoided, and it is we'll
to bend the body forward after lying
down, rather than too keep it straight or
thrown back upon the pillow.
The writer suffered several years from
sleeplessness, caused by severe pain and
nervousness, and was taught the above
by a physician of great experience and
ability, and found through it complete
relief. Many persons similarly afflicted
within the writer's knowledge have tried
it, and always with good results.-Kan-
sas City Sunday Journal.

WHOLESALE CREMATION AT MEM
PHIs.-Notwithstanding all that has
been written and done within the last
few years to overcome the almost univer-
sal repugnance to cremation as means
of disposing of the bodies of the dead, q
thrill of horror will 60 through the world
at the announcement that the people of
Memphis have almost come to regard it
as the only means of relief from the ac-
emulation of corpses in that city. Re-
pugnant rs cremation is to most people,
it is easy to see that Memphis may be
driven to it by its necessities, for the
terrors of the plague must surely be
greatly intensified if the present condi-
ton of affairs continues. Sixty dead
bodies, of which the public undertakers
were notified, remained over unburied

die. Those that are buried are tumbled
into hastily made graves, with but few
inches of earth to cover them, so that
the cemeteries can but add to the dread
full stencil which fills the air. Better
cremation than that the city should re-
main a vast charnel-house, given over to
death-breeding corruption, without the
terrible fever to increase the horrors

LEARN SoMETHING.-A young man
stepped into the Office of the Indiauapo.
lis Rolling Mill, not long since, and
asked for work. "What can you do?'
asked the President. ~ don't know

trader" @No, Sir" "Where did you

American" "If you were q German OF
an Irishman l could set you to work
because you would know how to do some.
thing, but Americans don't know any.

This reply will not apply to all Amer
leans, but it is lamentably true to great
extent. In Germany the boys are
brought up where they see something
done, and have some idea of doing it.
Very few Irishmen or Germans, but what
know how to turn over few rods oi

Most of them have some idea of mechan-
ical operations, the productions and uses
of material and of tools.
1t is those born in America who are
ignorant and idle. 1t is the false notion
that man does not need to labor, or that
he can get his living by his wits, that
causes a large part of our idleness and
distress. Begin at once to learn some.
thing, no matter about your age, learn
some practical pursuit at once.

FIREARMS.

In the department of firearms, in
which the Americans have always main.
tained a certain advance as to construc-
ton, there are exhibited by the Reming-
ton Arms Company two new forms OF
military rife, one of which, the Lee gun,
is obviously an improvement on all sim
pie breech-loaders hitherto used. The
breech block is the same as the Martini
Henry, but the opening is effected by
the hammer, which holds the same place
as in the old rifle and can be worked by
the thumb of the right hand. The breech
block, when opened, is held open by q
catch which is liberated by the aange of
the metallic cartridge as it enters the
barrel, and the block then rises to its
place and closes the breach automatical-
iy. The motions are fewer and the action
simpler than in the artini-Henry, and
the hammer indicates to the most care
less glance the half and full cock. The
second contribution of the Remington
Company is breech-loader on the piston
system, with an auxiliary magazine so
arranged that reserve of seven catridg-
es may be kept in the magazine and the
gun used as an ordinary breech-loader
until critical moment, when by push
ing aside the key of the magazine the
reserve is brought into play, and the
seven shots may be used with aim in ten
seconds. A gun of this nature has long
been desideratum in the American SER
vice, and the advantage of this reserve
magazine over the magazine system pure
and simple, such as the Winchester and
Swiss Vetterli guns, is clear. While de-
liberate long range fire is going ON the
gun is used as an ordinary breech-loader
and led by hand, but when charge is
to be repelled or firing at close quarters
from any reason magazine is thrown open
by command of touch of the thumb
and the seven shots are delivered with an
effect which can easily be imagined.
OTHER NOVELTIES.
Owen Jones' improved revolver carries
the construction of this useful weapon to
q completeness which seems the ne plus
ultra. The ingenuity expended on it is
exhaustive. The pistol rejects exploded
cartridges, while it retains those which
are not fired, refuses to revolve when
empty, and releases the cylinder when
required with a facility not hitherto at
tained. 1t is apparently able to do any
thing but load and fire itself.
A characteristic Yankee notion is a
bookholder for keeping books in their
place on shelf. Two plates of sheet
iron soldered together in an inverted T
form, answer this purpose perfectly and
are brought together to suit the books.
The weight of the books on the fiat limb
of the T keeps the keeper in place, and
the books may be crowded together be-
tween pair of them with considerable
compactness.
A locomotive of novel construction
will receive the attention of railway men,
and for sections where the quality of fuel
is bad it will be great boon, for it liter
ally burns everything that is combustible
anthracite, coal dust, wood, refuse of
all Goals. The improvement is effected
by widening the fire-box and modifying
the CRATE so as to secure an even and thin
bed of combustible.

To GET RID OF HoUsE-PEsTs.-Hot
alum water is q recent suggestion rs an
insecticide. 1t will destroy red and
black ants, cockroaches, spiders, chinch
bugs, and all the crawling pests which
infest our houses. Take two pounds OF
alum and dissolve it in three or four
quarts of boiling water; let it stand on
the fire till the alum disappears; then
apply it with brush, while nearly boil
ing hot, to every joint and crevice in
your closets, bedsteads, pantry shelves,
and the like. Brush the crevices in the
floor of the skirting or mop boards, il
you suspect that they harbor vermin.
If, in whitewashing a ceiling, plenty Of
alum is added to the lime, it will also
serve to keep insects at a distance.
CocIroaches will fee the paint which
has been washed in cool alum water
Sugar barrels and boxes can be freed
from ants by drawing chalk mark just
around The edge Of the top Of them
The mark must be unbroken, or they
will creep over it; but continuous
chalk mark half an inch in width will
set their depredations at naught. Pow
dereG alum or borax will keep the chinch
bug at respectable distance, and trav'
elers should always carry package ir
their hand bags, to scatter over ant
under their pillows, in places where they
have reason to suspect the presence o
such bed-fellows.

have not been called upon for such q

parts of the district very earnest express
sions of wishes to learn my opinions on
these questions, especially that of finance.
I hold that the first of them in i'm

The protection of the Constitution we

struction of the Constitution into the
Government and restore prosperity to
the country.
1 hold the law establishing national
banks, including the prohibitory tax 10
per cent on other banks, to be utterly
unconstitutional, and, therefore, to be re-
pealed as soon as possible, the national
bank notes to be called in gradually by
the substitution of redeemable United
States notes, and the issue of such notes
to be increased until sufficient for the
wants of all parts of the country. I ad-
vocate, in other words, abundance of
paper money, equal in value to gold and
silver, and receivable for all dues to the
Government. Being q lifelong Demo-
crat, stand upon the Democratic plat

tions, namely: strict construction of the

tinction of the national debt gradually,
but as soon as possible.

ent tariff, and would be so to any other

ton of the country, and that small one,
to the injury of all others. I am op-
posed, also, and very strongly, to all
taxes bearing unequally upon the diff
ferent sections of the country, like that
on tobacco, which extorts from Virginia
much larger contribution to the United
States revenue than is paid by the six
New England States, not less than three

rich man from thirty to forty per cent.
