ADVICE TO PARENTS.

Many an unwise parent labors
hard and lives sparingly all his
life for the purpose OF Leaving
enough to give his children a
start in the world, as iti is called.
Setting a young man up with
money left him by his relatives
is like tying bladders under the
arms of one who cannot swim;
and ten chances to one ne Will
lose his bladders and go to the
bottom. Teach him to swim,
and he will never need the blad-
ders. Give your children a
sound education, and you have
done enough for them. See to it
that his morals are pure, his
mind cultivated, and his whole
nature made subserVient to laws
which govern man, and you
have what will be Of more value
than the wealth of the Indies.

SIGN LANGUAGES OF THE
INDIANS.

SIGN LANGUAGES OF THE
INDIANS.
The Shoshones or Snakes are
about the same as the Conan
ches Of Texas, speak the same
language, and those understand
inc the Shoshone or Snake dia-
leCt can travel from the Lake Of
the Woods to Durango, in Mex
leo, and find Indians speaking
the same tongue. Each Of these
tribes have signs by which they
know each other at once. The
Crows flap their arms, the ARA
pahoes put their fingers to their
nose as if about to blow that or
gan, the Snakes make a sinuous
motion with the finger, the Sioux
draw their finger across the
throat, the Pawnees put their
hands to their ears like wolf
ears. The sign language is com
mon to all the tribes in the far
west, and Indians who do not
speak the same dialect can un
derstand each other by this sign
language.-EX.
HOW TO MAKE BUSINESS.
The really active and thor
oughly alive energetic man
knows no dull season ID bust
ness life, for the simple reason
that as a feeling of dullness com
mences to creep over his neigh
bors he begins to look about
him and to devise ways and
means to make the public cling
to, rather than fall away, from
him. The best adhesive plaster
in this instance is printers ink,
and as a proof Of the assertion
we point our readers to those
business men Of the city who
are advertising most freely in
the daily papers. If they are
merchants their stores are al
ways crowded with customers,
who come with cash to purchase
where they are Informed by the
public prints they can lay out
their money to the best adVan-
tage. The business man who
now advertises is in a prosper
GUS condition-his stock passes
from him rapidly and with the
proceeds of the sales he is able
to re-supply himself with goods
Of the latest styles-his clerks
earn their money, and his custo-
mers are gratified. The man
who does not advertise at the
commencement Of the dull sea-
son, lessons his force of clerks
or employees, and those who re-
main have almost less than
nothing to do, as the place of
business that does not make it.
self known to the public through
the papers is as quiet and as
little liable to be entered as an
undertaker's establishment in a
healthy season. The non-adver-
tiser, commercially speaking, is
a dead man--his goods, for want
of ready buyers, lay on his
shelves until they become old,
rusty and questionable, event
ually finding their way to the
cheap auction houses, while the
proprietor generally bursts or
retires from a business which he
did not know how to conduct
successfully, and his dropping
out does not create a ripple, Tor
he is not an advertiser, conse-
quently unknown. Some men
lay the fattering JUNCTION to their
souls that they have been too
long established in business to
require putting" in the papers.
That is Just where they are mis-
taken; no business becomes so

EDITOR lpAHo WORLD: Many thanks

ter your well deserved efforts in isSu-
ing such a journal as the World pre-

Idaho, but everywhere it circulates,
| can but say yonr energies lack moth
ing; for, loitte a free, independent
press, wherever its voice is sounded,
is a God send to the people Of this
country. In your cxcrtions to purify
and enhance the destination Of the
Democratic party, you deserve credit.
In as much as IDAHO City is but the
offspring, or rather the creation Of
few cnterprising people who wan
dered through the snow OF the Blue
mountains Of Oregon in order to devel-
op the resources surrounding her linz
its, it is but due the WORLD that she
should receive full patronage Of your
people, in order that the people else
where may learn of the many induce
monts the Territory Of Idaho holds out
to them to locate within her confines.
I see by to-day's Baltimore Sun where
Mr. Ainslie, Of your city, has received
the Democratic nomination as Dele
gate to Congress to succeed Mr.. Fem.
Let us hope, if elected, that he viii
pnt every energy TO work to the many
interests Of your Territory. We have
gotten through with our Democratic
nominations in this State to Congress.
They are as follows: William NJ.
Kimmel, Eli J. Henkle. Daniel N. Hen
ry (rcnominatod), Fred Talbot and
George Peters (new men). As q
whole they are very good men. We
have no doubt of their election, save
that Of Alr. Peters. who is opposed by
a Mr. Ressloy, at present Clerk Of the
Court Of Appeals of Allegahny Court,

the youngest man in the Senate Of the

Fon many Years tho estate Board

FoR many years the estate Board
of Revenue has been ignoring as
easements, or valuations made IN a
number Of the counties of this Com
monwealth. Juniata county Was
among the number OF counties ii
which the valuation was raised. The
present board Of Commissioners car
RED tie question, of the right Of the
State Board of Revenue to revise
the valuation OF tie county, into the
DaupL:n county court. with result,
which is set forth by Commissioner
CroninGef as follows:
The verdict CT the Court, render
ed bv Judge Pearson IN the case of
Juniata county VS. the Commonwea Ia
OF Pennsylvania amounts TO the
clear sum Of S913.7s for each year,
namely. for the wears 1S7S, 1879 AMI
1889, when the Board VIII sSa;n sit
and adjust the valuation. From
property returned, namely, S3o,i2l
sGbiect to mills tax and Sl5,S2o
subject TO l cent tax. the Board arbi-
tralily raised it to S327,159 subject
TO 3 mills tax and SIS, ,00o subject to
l cent tax. Now, as the Board sits
once every three years, this VIII be a
gain to the county OF S274L24. There
is no doubt that the county las been
imposed on ever since the State tax
was taken of real estate. The State
has demanded round sum from the
county without paying any respect to
the amount Of State tax collected"
