HEALTH HISTs.-More than two
tumblerfuls of water should not be
taken at meal.
All physicians join in reccommen-
people TO so up stairs TO sleep, and
avoid, if possible, sleeping upon the
first floor Of house. Use plenty
of bed clothes, but always sleep
with few inches Of the window
open, top and bottom.
A sprain is relieved from the first
pains by hot lamentations, or the
application Of hot bandages, but en-
tire rest is the chief permanent rem
edy. The more the limb is USED, es-
pecially at first, the longer the time
required for the small broken fibres
to knit together. The sprained leg
should be kept in horizontal posi-
ton. When leg is broken, tie it
to the other leg to keep it still till
a surgeon comes. Tie broken
arm TO thin piece of wood to
TO keep it still till set.

OUR OWN STATE.

lne llQc OF Immigration mas turn
ed to ward Wisconsin again, and
during the last quarter more settlers
landed in this state than in Iowa
Our new Board of Immigration has
field of considerable breadth open
before it, and should make the most
of the opportunities now offered.
No state in the Union presents
greater or more desirable advanta-
ges for the home e-seeker than Wis
consin. Her climate is health full
She has no malarial fevers or agues
nor is she predisposed 20 pulmon-
ary diseases, or subject to the rava-
ges of the yellow fever or cholera.
She has no sand storms TO bury
gram and fret the eyes, throats and
lungs of the inhabitants; 10 simoons
whose scorching breath withers all
growing crops in an hour; no grass
hoppers, and ITO excessively wet,
dry, cold or hot seasons in which
all crops are failure. Crops are
never failure here as they some
times are in Kansas and other
States. Nearly all of the Western
States are troubled with ono or
more of the drawbacks mentioned
Wisconsin with none of them. She
has wood, lumber,i copper, iron,
stone, deep rich.soil and water
natural wealth found in such lib
eral quantities in no other state.
She has lakes, rivers, railroads and
and markets, no place in the state
being more than l8 hours from
the best markets in the Union. She
has fine system of public and Nor
NAL schools, well established and
paid Tor. She has fine buildings
Tor charitable purposes, all paid for
With all these advantages in addi-
ton to beautiful scenery, roman
tic, heaIthtul and elegant summer
resorts, mineral springs without
number, and all the beauties Law
ished by nature upon any locality,
she has left fully one half her terri
tory unoccupied, but open to settle
ment. All of these ana many more
things our new Board of Immigra-
must make known to people seeking
the best possible localities in the
new world for homes. 1t is not
necessary to resort to falsehood or
misrepresentation of any sort-the
the truth about Wisconsin is as IA
vorable on it's face as any Of the
most highly colored pictures Of the
advantages of other localities.--
with such opportunities and the i'm
mense number of emigrants constant
ly leaving the old countries, the
Wisconsin Board of linn igratlon
should be something faI more than
a mere ornament, and doubtless
will be- Fond du Lac Common
wealth.

SIGNS OF BETTER TIMES.-Wi it'll
the success of resumption comes
the unmistakable signs Of the com
ing better, times. The country has
learned hard lesson, but we be-
lieve a profitable one. II has
learned that large issues of IRE
deemable paper money inevitably
leads to speculation, extravaganza
and ruin. 1t is easy to go up in a
balloon but the coming down to sol
id earth is a blow that drives the
breath from the body and gives the
system a shock that is unlocked for,
and very unpleasant.
Men who have money to invest
begin to feel confident of the sta
biiity of values in the future, and
are more ready and anxious to put
their funds into active service than
they have been for many years past.
The growth of the credit of the
government, as shown by the large
sales and increased market value of
the new four per cent. government
bond, is another good sign of the
times; also the promise of activity
in real estate, particularly in New
York City where we see arrange
ments making for the building of
four hundred dwelling houses in one
district, and note large investments
in houses and lands by Mr.. Wander
bilt and other large capitalists.
Other favorable facts not to be over
looked are an advance in the price
ct silver in London, and the num-
ber of acres of new land taken up
by eastern emigrants. These things
bring encouragements to business
and the promise of stability and
uniformity in values will bring in
creased activity, and better rev ards
to energy and industry Ex.

REGARDING TAX DEEDS. Judge
Drummoud, of the U. S. Circuit
Court, recently made a decision re-
garding tax deeds which is impor-
tant. In making a sale, the Treas
urer OF Oconto county added to the
taxes on various parcels OF land lie
cost of revenue stamps placed upon
the certificates of sale. The Court
held that this rendered the sales
absolutely void; that thereby the
officer SO exceeded his power that
the sales were absolutely invalid,
and that although the tax deed
issued upon :he sales was duly re-
corded and three years had run ont he
deed, nevertheless the deed could
not be regarded as any evidence of
title and was held wholly void as a
claim of title.

A VOLUME IN A PARAGRAPH.- -
Here is what Horace Greely, In bis
autobiography, says about running
in debt: Hunger, cold, rags, sus-
picion, hard work, unjust reproach,
are dlsagreeable, but debt is inin-
itelyworse than them all. And, il
It had pleased God to spare either
Of my sons to be me support and
solace of my declining years, the
lesson which | should have sought
most to impress on them is, never
10 run in debt! Avoid pecunlary
obligations as you would pest!lence
or famine. If you have bnt fifty
cents and can get no more for a
week, buy peek Of corn, parch it
and live on it rather than owe a
man q dollar"

WORK AND WIN.-The Toronto
Weekly Globe very truly says that
the worst thing that can happen to
q young man in college, is to have
a father or mother SO iniudicious as
to keep him amply supplied with
pocket money. 1t is fatal TO all
studlous habits and, in the end, fat
al to good morals. This is equal
ly the case with young man in bn-
siness, who is made to feel that to
him "salarY is no object"-that r
wealthy fathers purse is always OPP
en- to his most extravagant de-
mands, Nothing develops a man
like fighting his own way in the
world. Some spur of necessity,
some bracing air of adverse sur
rouudings, is needful TO most men,
if they are 10 put forth their whole
power. The rich mans heir, nursed
and petted from infancy, and
shielded from battling with the
world, never fairly learns to stand
erect and walk alone. If, by any
chance he is stripped of his inherit
ance, wealth, and has to learn to give
and take hard knocks like the 9TH
ers, he nearly always goes under in
the struggle-at any rate he sell
dom regains, by his own efforts,
that fortune which he has lost.
Nearly a the wealthy and effect
i've men Of this country are poor
mems sons, Nearly all of the
scholars, poets, orators, statesmen,
are poor mems sons. Wealth has
its advantages, it is true; but after
all the son ofthe rich man begins
with the odds against him. The
poor mans son has all the odds in
his favor. He must work or starve.
He has nothing to lose and every.
thing to gain. The rich mau's son
already has wealth, social position,
and everything that money can
give him There is much less to
strive for and infinitely less in
duucement to strive. This is par
'icularly true of those whose parents
buy farms for their children to
start them on in life. In every
walk of life the successful man
grows adm is not made.

NEEDS A TELEPHoNE-The lum-
bermen on the upper Mississippi
md Rum rivers probably expend,
every year, enough money in send
ing meu into the woods with orders,
or for news, more than en-
ough to build telephone lines
TO the head Of these streams
In many cases it would save the
fraternity many times lis cost IN a
week. Thus at least three days of
good driving water was lost last
week because there was no way OF
ascertaining the situation, on the
Rum River, or the necessity for
driving crews, until men came
clean down. This may involve ma
ny days of expensive driving or
the hanging up of logs; in fact, is
sure to unless there comes an extra
ordinary amount of rain. Some
times for many weeks the opera
tions on the upper Mississippi can
not be heard from, even by the
owners. a telephone line with a

RELIABILITY,-Ifyou are FORUM
ate enough to know a truly reliable
man, make him your friend at ouce,
if you can. You can only do so,
however, by assimIlating his charac-
Ter. The reliable man is a man Of
good judgement, He does not
jump at conclusions. He is not a
frivolous man. lie is thoughtful.
He turns over subject in his mind,
and looks at it all round. He is
not partial or one-sided. He sees
through thing. He is apt to be a
very reticent man. He does not
have TO talk a great deal. He is a
moderate man, not only in habits of
body, but also of mind. He is not
a passionate man if SO by nature,
he oyercomes it by grace. He is a
sincere man, not a plotter or schem-
er. What he says may be relied
on. He is trustworthy man.
You feel safe with property, or with
the administration of affairs in his
hands. He is brave man, for his
conclusions are logically deLuced
from the sure basis of truth, and he
does not fear 10 maintain them
lie is good man. for no man can
be thoroughly honest and truthful
without being good. Is such a
quality attainable? Most assured
ly SO. 1t is not born, it is made.
Character may be formed; OF
course, then, its component parts
may be moulded to that formation
To gain spotIess reputation is a
prize worth trying for.

THE REBEL YELL.

IT'S all in vain to stir the strife Of sections
In vain to raise the wOrn-out rebel Yell
When North and South renew their old affections,
And falsehood fans no more the flames Of hell.
Though men who once were rebels help to rule u.s.
What matters that, If they are fair and true2
No longer do the ancient scarecrows fool u.s.
The clear.eyed people look them through and
through.
In blood dissolved the fatal Southern vision,
Back to Its orbit wheeled each starry State,
And there Is left no room for such ambition
As feeds and iattens on sections hate
They who would hold the rule to steal and swindle
Who in the temple lan would buy and sell
But see their hopes of punder daily dwndle,
Revive the echoes Of the rebel yell
In vain from any tall and ugly tower
A piping voice takes up that battle cry
The spell that drove us mad has lost Its power,
And clouds of smoke no more obscure the sky.
For peace and freedom we are now united,
And North and South shake friendly, ceanly
hands,
While those alone by rebel flags are frighted
Who never saw the fierce, gray coated bands.
Those only at the sun of peace are scowng
Whose hearts conceal a purpose foul and fell,
And wolves and jackals hOarse with useless bowling,
Alone attempt to raise the rebel yell,

The Detroit River Tunnel, one Of the most i'm
pOrtant and extensive engineering works of the
Northwest, is being built with satisfactory speed
The tunnel proper will extend from Anderson,
under the Detroit river, to Stony Island, dis
tance of 4,45O feet, though the approaches upon
either side make the entire distance from en-
trance to exit much greater distance. The
thickness of the rock between the bottom Of the
river and the crown of thp tunnel is 10, l5, and
% feet according to the depth Of water in the
river The excavation of the tunnel is to be 26
feet clear, and when completed will be 10 feet in
the clear, with two arches for double tracks sep.
arated by dividing wall Under the tracks will
be four feet Of solid masonry, and the top OF the
arches will be constructed in solid and endur-
ing manner with asphalt cement and rubble
stone, and overtopping all will be placed smooth
1agstone to prevent anchors drawing on the top
of the tunnel and doing possible injury The
cost Of the tunnel is to be l,5OOO 900 and the con-
tract stipulates that 1t shall be completed by De-
cember l, 1880.

THE RUINED HOME.

The old man stood at his cottage door
To see the home he loved once more;
But the FIRE was quenched. and the ruOftree broke
And the crumbllng walls were black with smoke
The weeds grew thick In the garden ground,
The crow and the magple hopped around,
And the few pale, scattered willow trees
Shlvered and moaned In the evening breeze.
The old man leaned on his stafT, and said
"Gm all alone-The rest are deadl"
And he gazed awhile with vacant eye,
For he looked far back in the time gone by.
He heard the laugh and he heard the song,
And he saw the children round him throng;
While the yellow dog with the curly tail,
Ran, barking the Joyous group to hail
There he sat-twas pleasant scene
The COW was grazing upon the green;
Within the hum of the wheel was heard,
Without the chlrp Of the little bird,
He thought Of then, he thought of noOj
There was the chRnge-he muttered how
"The poor man. sure; could not pay the rich,
So his only home was the road and the dtchn
He stood to pray at the masters gate,
And the masters son rode out In statei
And he heard the curse and he heard the scOG
That bade him "Of to the workhOuse, OIL"
They wandered first through the world wlde
Some of them bowed their heads and died,
The rest Of them soaght the pauper shed;
"Where are they now?" "At rest he said.
And the old man had come to his cottage door,
To look on the home he loved once more,
Then heard him pray; What asked he there9-
A broken heart has but one prayer
The Nation
