Prejudice.

BY indulging in prejudice a double
wrong is committed Firstly, individ-
uals that belong together by certain re
lations are supposed to be identical in
every essential respect, as principally
in regard to morality, talents, behavior
and inclinations, general idea is formed
from the single individual. Secondly,
to this subject, certain qualities are at
tributed without any reason, which I'M
exceptionally must be found in the whole
class. Then the individuals and the
class are loved or hated ,abhorred or per
secuted according to the circumstance
whether such attributed qualities are
held to be amicable or repulsive.
This proves plainly the great pcrver-
sion; for what appears to be the conse-
quence the effect of the prejudice is
rather it's cause. Love and hatred are
indeed not children of prejudice, but its
parents. And by what is this biased
love and hatred originated Where do
we have to seek for its sourcesl In van
ity, undoubting assurance, in short, lack
of education and culture, of which it is
well known, how easily it gets fanatic
Thus lack of education in opposition to
enlightenment remains in the end the
fountain Of prejndice. 1t is, therefore,
not an error, but like superstition,
mental disease-Dr. Max I.andsberg.

A Slight Mistake.

\ careless telegrapher caused panic
in a domestic circle in this city recently.
A young woman telegraphed from
Philadelphia to her mother in this wise:
"Have received no letter. Am wor-
ried.' The message received by her
mother was this: ''Have received no
letter. Am married" The mother
was surprised at this sudden announce
ment and she gave the daughter large
piece of her mind. The operator had
mistaken worried" for married" no
doubt thinking the meaning was the
same, and had wired the mother the
surprising intelligence.-N. Y. Tribune.

Browns Bronchial Troches
are used with advantage to alleviate cough,
sore throat, hoarseness and bronchial affec.
tons. For thirty years these Troches have
been in use, with annually increasing favor.
They are not new and untried, but, having
been tested by WIDE and constant use for
nearly an entire generation, they have at.
tanned well-merited rank among the few
staple remedies Of the age.
THE THRoAT.-"B Browns Bronchial Tro-
ches" act directly on the organs of the
voice. They have an extraordinary effect
in all disorders of the throat and larnyx, re.
storing healthy tone when relaxed, either
from cold or over-exertion of the voice, and
produce clear and distinct enumeration.
Speakers and singers find the Troches use
full.
A CouGH, COLD, CATARRH of sore throat
requires immediate attention, as neglect of.
tentimes results in some incurable lung dis
eases. Browns Bronchial Trochesn almost
invariably give relief. limitations are offer.
ed for sale, many Of which are injurious.
The genuine Browns Bronchial Troches"
are sold only in boxes.

The Earth's Masactl IA.


The great physical problem Of terrcs-
trial magnetism has engaged the atten-
ton of numerous physicists lately, and
il is well known that several ingenious
solutions of it have been proponnded.
Professors Ayrtou and Perry for exam
pie, conceived the happy thought that
the earth was charged with static cleo
tricity, which being carried round on
the surface by the diurnal rotation,
acted like a circulating current and
magnetized the core. A severe blow
was dealt TO this hypothesis, however,
by the mathematical criticism of Pro-
fessor Rowland, who pointed, out that
the surface charge required was compe-
tent to send a spark from earth to
moon. "A theory based upon the exist
ence of electric currents flowing in the
atmosphere around the earth was pro-
mulgated later; and now. says Engin-
eering, we have another supposition,
which has a better claim to serious at
tention than any of the rest, because it
is supported by direct experiment.
Starting from the idea of NJ. Edlund
that an electric current is really an
ether current flowing in the circuit,
and that electrostatic effects are due to
rarefactions and CONVERSATIONS of the
ether, M. Selim Lemstrom considered
that he might produce this ether cur
rent by mechanical action. He there
fore made paper tube having two con-
centric walls and mounted on an axle.
A core of soft iron was placed within
the tube, and on rotating the latter the
core was found to be magnetic, as dem
onstrated by two fine astatic needles. Re-
versing the rotation reversed the mag
netic poles: and M. Lemstrom concludes
that the relative motion of the ether in
the revolving tube and the stationary
core was the cause of the polarity. 1t
follows that if the tube be stationary
and the core revolved a similar effect
will be produced; and hence if mag
netic body like earth be rapidly rotated
round its axis in an insulating medium
like the air, it will exhibit magnetism.
Pursuing this idea into mathematics,
M. Lemstrom arrives at an expression
for the magnetic moment of the earth
which agrees very well with the for
mula of Gauss.

Our Form of Dress.

How did we come to possess our pres
ent form of dress? This is one of the
many questions answered by reviewer
in the Nature. Clothing at first was
almost entirely ornamental. The ex-
ceptions were such articles as belts
from which instruments of various
kinds could be suspended so as to be
ready for use while the hands were left
free. A savage does not enjoy the lux
ury of a pocket Even at the present
day a japanese has to sling his tobacco
pipe and pouch from his belt, and the
only pockets he has are in his sleeves.
The simple cincture was the germ, so
to speak, of the clothing we wear. Al
ter some time a bunch of pandanus
slips was added in front, and this was
gradually extended until it made a
complete fringe around the body,
When the arts become so far advanced
that man could make paper cloth or
some woven material, these latter sub
stituted for the primitive fringe. and
the kilt was thus developed. Curiously
enough the dress of the Scottisch High
landers embodies these two stages of
progress in the kilt and the sporan, AS
man advanced there were inconvenien-
ces attending the use of the kilt, which
were abated by fastening that garment
at one point between the legs, and the
human mind was then fairly set upon
the path to arrive at the attainment of
a pair of trousers. When the back and
shoulders needed protection, the savage
used the skin Of some animal, and it is
from this sort of covering for the upper
part of the body that we have derived
our coats, vests, shirts, etc. But the
ancient cloak form is even yet retained,
not only by such people as Zulu chiefs,
but in all robes of ceremony by dignit-
aries of court and college of the most
highly civilized nations on the face of
the earth. The elaborate and varied
head coverings of the present day all
sprang from very simple, original
type. 50. y

Potatoes for Animals.

A writer upon this subject has said
that potatoes in the raw state ought
never TO be given TO animals, with the
exception of sheep and geese" 1t is
said "a goose will thrive better, and
the flesh will be more gratefully flavor
ed, upon raw potatoes, sliced, than up
on any other article; while sheep will
more speedily thrive on raw potatoes
than on turnips; but, and especially in
the beginning, raw potatoes will scour
cattle and horses, and not unfrequent-
ly cause death, while there is no danger
of either from boiled or steamed pota-
toes" II may be true that they are cx-
cellcnt for geese, and that they are en-
cellent for sheep is well known; of all
animals the sheep likes n change from
dry to green food in the shape Of roots;
and that they should thrive upon them
better than the turnip, for the reason

that, according to tables, the potato
contains a larger fat substance and
flesh-producing element than the turn
ip. Thus a fair product is 200 bushels,
or $4,000 pounds of potatoes, from an
acre, which are estimated TO contain
2640 pounds of material for the an
imal system, while the average
Weld of rutabagas of 10000 pounds
contain only l440 pounds; and a SINH
lar yield of turnips but 400 pounds; so
that relatively to each other they stand
as potatoes 2640, rutabagas, l440, and
the turnip $40, little better than a third
the relative feeding value.
The chief advantage is obtained in
feeding to mature animals; if bony
structure is to be formed, the turnip is
fully equal to the potato. That an eX-
cess of potatoes fed to cattle and horses
produce i'll results cannot be doubted,
if the diet was exclusively potatoes; but
that a small quantity, fed with dry hay,
produces injurious results, is unsuppos-
able. The boiling or steaming which
generally means an addition OF more or
less mild feed would be much more
satisfactory. The same writer also
says: pigs will not always eat, and
never can be fattened npon raw pota-
toes. while, if they are boiled, next to
boiled peas, perhaps, will bring them
to the greatest weight they are capable
of attaining, and to greater perfection
than anything else that may be contin-
uously used with safety, admitting that
three TO four weeks feeding upon corn,
oats or barley is necessary TO make the
pork firm, and impart flavor"
This is directly contrary to the expe-
rience of a successful pork raiser that
always estimated the value of potatoes
as four bushels TO one of corn, and al
ways fed them raw, for the reason that
he obtained more satisfactory results.

The Window Garden.

Vines for the windows are now the
fashion for all who are fond Of winter
gardening. If the window is sunny,
there is no limit to the flowers that may
be had from Christmas until spring
With two maurandias, dwarf nastur-
tium or trapaelum as it is called, an
English ivy, and vigorous plant OF
German ivy, or senecio scandens, any
one can make a screen for the window
more beautiful than any Raphael or De
Vinci ever designed, for this is the per-
feet original of their defective repre-
sentation. The vines should be at the
end of the box, so as to be trained on
the sides and over the top of the win
dow frame. Then close to the glass,
for, true to its name it loves the sun,
put heliotrope or two; trailing win
ter poisoning fuschia, scarlet gera-
mum, and for the sake of a contrast a
white one, whose blossoms have a
bright eye in the center. Do not be
afraid of crowding the plants, but SOW
mignonnette and sweet aslyssum seed,
as well as the tiny ones of linaria Gym
balaria or coliseum ivy. If intending
to have but one box, do not forget a
plant or two of the neat, handsomely
marked petunia, for they will give q
mass of flowers from the first week Of
blooming until put out in the garden
in the spring. Yellow myrtle and the
plant commonly called wandering Jew
and ice plant, as well as a variety Of
saxifrage known as beefsteak gerani
um, may be made to droop over the
front of the box, and their graceful
sprays will reach even TO the floor.

a tedious and circuitous walk Of fifteen
miles was necessary by the ordinary
route, while the distance straight down
the snow-covered incline was only three.
He had such pan as miners use in
washing out gold. Squatting down in
this, away he went, faster and faster,
