Eating Customs.
American Naturalist.

The Cocopah Indians, of Arizona, will
not eat pork, though they have acquired
u taste for salt beef. They are very fond
of fish and will eat them at any time.
The Mono Lake Indians, of California,
eat soup made of angle worms thicken-
ed with grass seed flour. They also
gather bats from caves and roast them
in hot ashes, without removing either
feathers or entrails. Wasp nests are
roasted and eaten; the more young they
contain the better they are rellshed. The
young Indians in order to find the nests
capture Il wasp, place small straw in
the abdomen, light it and let the insects
go; they then watch its flight, follow it
and secure the nest. The Miami Indi-
ans were very fond of dish prepared
by boiling the roots of the yellow lilv
(Lilium canadenso) with meat. In the
fall the roots, often two inches IN diam
eter, are gathered. They taste very
much like green corn. These Indians
also eat otto oil cooked in soup, and con-
slider it very nutritious. The Cheyennes
and Arapahoes consider dog meat su-
perb dish, and when they wish to honor
a guest especially they kill the latest
dog and roast it; great offense is given if
the guest eat not bountifully of the
chosen dish. They also eat poisoned
wolves in the buffalo country.
The white men kill the buffaloes
for their hides, tallow, tongue,
and some of the best portions Of
the meat. The tongues bring a high
nrico The ,raSt If tho corcoSs ;c thap
poisoned with strychnine. The wolves
eat the meat, and their intestines be-
come inflamed, producing death. The
Indians remove the viscera and eat the
remaining portions of the wolf. On
Grow creek, in Kansas, in 1865, saw
the carcasses Of hundreds of wolves
that had been thus eaten. The Wichita
and Comanche Indians will not eat fish
that have scales, but are fond of those
that have no scales; they catch both
kinds, and sell those which they do not
like to the whites.

Language Of the Hair.

All of our features have their lam
guage-eyes, noes and mouth. And
now some one discovers that even the
hair has its own indications.
Straight, lax, stringy looking hair in
dicates weakness and cowardice.
Curly hair denotes quick temper.
Frizzy hair set on ones head as if
each individual hair were ready to fight
its neighbor denotes coarseness.
Black hair indicates persistent resolu-
ton in accomplishing an obiect-also
a strong predisposition to revenge wrong
and insults, real or fancied.
Brown hair denotes fondness for life,
a friendly disposition, ambition, earnest
ness of purpose, sagacity for business,
reliability in friendship, in proportion
as the hair is fine.
Very fine hair indicates an even dis
position, readiness to forgive, with de-
sire to add to the happiness Of others.
Persons with fine light brown or au-
burn hair, inclined to curl or friz, are
quick tempered and are given to re-
sentm ent and revenge.
Light brown hair, inclined to redness,
with a freckled skin. is said to be q GER
tam indication of deceit, treachery, and
disposition to do something mean by a
friend who can no longer be used to adj
vantage.

"Well, this poor fellow fell in love
with beautiful girl, who loved him, al

SIandered Clergymen.

The New York Methodist is indignant
over the frequently expressed opinion
that Mr.. Vosburgh's day Of usefulness
is over, SO far as the ministr y is con-
cerned; and that although he has been
acquitted he should cease his pastoral
functions. 1t says that the notion that
suspicion condemns wives and minis
tiers is adevil's trap, in which enough
honest people have been caught and
killed The world is old enough ard
civilized enough to have a little COM
mon sense. 1t adds: about one-fourth
of our population believe any and
every charge against woman or a
clergyman. If the innocent accused
man must retire for the honor Of the
pulpit, it may some day occur to the
devil to clear out the pulpit altogether

of but little practical Importance, ~
both parties admit that plants derive all
their carbon from carbonic acid, and
that the decomposition ofthat gas takes
place in the leaf. The important mat
ter, practically, is to understand the
conditions under which vegetables an
proprate carbonic acid. for this is the
secret oftheir growth. These conditions
are chiefly two: LIST, a healthy condition
OF the leaf; I'd. u full exposure to sun
light. The first of these is that which
chiefly concerns the farmer. They alb
sorb carbonic acid in proportion to the
amount of green colo.ipg matter they
contain. This, as l said on Il former oc-
caslon, depends on supply of nitrogen
in form that the plant can use it.
Ammonia dissolved in water and alb
sorbed by the roots. is the usual form
IN which the supply of nitrogen is OBJ
tanned. This is decomposed in the leaf
by the agency of sunlight, and the nit
rogen set free Immediately, enters into a
new combination and the green color
ing matter is the result. But this
change demands the presence of potash
and phosphoric acid, in very minute
quantities, indeed, but still essential. A
deficiency in any one of these conditions
VIII give pale, or yellow leaf, and
every farmer knows what that means,
though he may not be able to explain
why it is so. But plants absorb no food,
by the leaf, in the dark. and there is no
chemical action in the absence Of sun
hight. 1t is true that plants grow ut
night, but they grow by using the ma
terial prepared in the light, and by its
agency.-PRoF. II. Il. Brown. IN Indi-

Pills and Teeth.
Washington Post.

One thing that strikes the visitor to
the American section is the wonderful
display Of pills. l wonder what the
French think of w when passing
through our main passage. They sec
bottles upon bottles filled with those
suggestive and attempting white pills.
As sugar-coated and rs compressed as
they may be, no one, take il, feels dis
posed to linger and contemplate those
little white balls without the suggestion
of gripping in his anatomy where .
good dinner would be more Mt case,
Fancy the remarks Of the unsophisti-
Gated Frenchman passing these ava
lanches Of pills. He naturally thinks
that ours must be q very unhealthy
country, and should he ever have
dreamed OF going over TO settle with
us, these pills will purge him Of the idea
forever. l see in this display direct
attempt to discourage emigration, and
! would call the attention Of the authOri.
ties in the treasury department to IN
vestigate the matter. Let us follow
now our disguised Frenchman from
This painful subject. A few steps be-
yond he is met with such jawing rs
he probably never had in his life, not
even excepting that he gets from his
wife now and then, and as is the case in
all well-regulated families. Jaws full of
teeth; jaws at full cape, half cape and
closed jaws; ready-made and so invit-
ing that whatever stirring emotions the
pills had failed to create in his bosom,
those teeth crashing at him completely
used him up. 1t is amusing, but sad,
however, to watch the eountenances OF
ladies passing those endless rows Of
teeth. The EXPLANATIONS and of dis
gust are as varied as the passers-by.

Not Yet.
burlington Hawkeye.

An excited journalist out in Floyd
county, looking through pair of demo
cratic spectacles of great magnifying
power, secs the republican party tot
tering TO it's fall Oh, he does, does he?
Then he had better stand from under,
for when it does come down. it will
come like thousand of brick. This
won't be the first time it has "tottered
to its fall" and it has always made II
success Of it heretofore. 1t tottered to
its fall once, and fell upon Breckenridge,
and for nearly five years it tottered
around on the democratic party and
nearly tampled it entirely and eternally
OIL the democratic slate. Ii feel upon
poor Mr.. Greeley, and llattened him
out badly. 1t fell upon one General
Mcclellan, and u party Of the name of
seymour. More recently it fell upon
Sammy Tilden, and made him think he
was trespassing upon land slide.
Whenever it falls, we notice that who
ever stands in the way gets hurt; and
it may be that the excited journalist
has tarried too long at his spectacles
and didn't see straight. 1t may be that
the republican party. instead Of totter-
ing to it's fall. was merely STOPPING down
to pick upa club; and if such was the
case, there will be wailing and gnashing
Of teeth before long. The republican
party is all here yet. II is right where
it always was, and is ready for fight
this fall, rs it was last November.

crystallizeG carbon. In its uncombined
form it is not soluble in any known
liquid, nor is it fusible in any heat we
have been able to produce. AT red
heat it combines readily with oxygen
in a brisk combustion, without fame,
and the product is a gas composed Of
81 per cent. Of carbon and 73 per cent.
of oxygen, and commonly known rs
carbonic acid. 1t has feeble acid re-
action and forms salts with alkalies.
At temperature Of sixty degrees wat
err will dissolve and hold in solution its
own measure of carbonio acid gas, but
it parts with it all at boiling heat. In
this form, all the carbon appropriated
by plants is furnished, and it would be
very natural inference, that to furnish
supply of carbonic acid would be the
first care Of the farmer. But this would
be altogether an erroneous conclusion.
From various sources the air is always
supplied with carbonic acid in sufficient
quantities to answer the demands of
plant growth, but the chief interest Of
the farmer is to place his crops in ia
vorable condition to appropriate the
carbon brought within its reach. An
animated dispute has been carried on
for several years between two schools
of vegetable physiologists-tte one con.
tending that all the carbonic acid used
by the plant was absorbed by the leaves,
and the other holding that q portion
of it was supplied by the roots
being held in solution in the water
absorbed. The question, however, is one
