II once saw little girl trying to

after her. If you run after happi-

Hazing in the Naval School at
Annapolis.

The prompt imprisonment of for
ty-two boys for hazing, or refusing
to testify against those who were
guilty, was a merited punishment.
The crime was committed in a
school supported by the Govern
ment at the expense of the people.
The offences were of the most indie
cent, detestable and disgusting
character. The young scamps who
subjected lads Of the lower class to
such indignities ought first to be
flogged, and then dismissed from
the service in disgrace. That we,
the people, should be taxed to sup
port and educate a contemplate
ruffian that would debase himself
by such crimes as it is shown were
perpetrated in the Naval School, is
not to be submitted to for a single
year. Such fellows never grow into
men. They may be DULLES and
towards, domineering over their in
feriors in station, cruel overseers,
but they never turn out 10 De gen
tlemen. Education never made a
man out of a brute. And the Off
GERS certify that this hazing was
brutal in the extreme. Therefore,
we say, turn such people out of any
school supported at public expense.
There are hundreds and thousands
of men who want the situations,
and would become the ornament
and defence Of their country. But
the poor poltroons who maltreat a
helpless youth wholly in their
power, and subject him to physical
suffering and mental torture for
amusement, have no place among
gentlemen, and should never be
permitted to dishonor the naval or
military service of the country.-N

Salt for the Throat.

In these days, when diseases of
the throat are so universally prev
alent, and in so many cases fatal,
we feel it our duty to say a word in
behalf of a most effectual, if not
positive, cure for sore throat.
For many years past, indeed we
may say during the whole Of a life
of forty years, we have been sub
iect to sore throat, and more partic-
ularlv to a dry hacking cough ;
which is not only distressing to our
selves, but to our friends with whom
we are brought into business con-
tact.
Last fall we were induced to try
what virtue there was in common
salt. We commenced by using it
three times a day-morning, noon
and night We dissolved large
tablespoonful of pure table-salt in
about half small tumbler full of
water. With this we gargled the
throat most thoroughly just before
the meal time. the result has been
that during the entire winter we
were not only free from coughs and
colds, but the dry hacking cough
has entirely disappeared.
We attribute these satisfactory
results solely to the use of salt gar
gle, and most cordially recommend
a trial of it to those who are subject
to diseases of the throat
Many persons who have never
tried the salt gargle have the i'm
preston that it is unpleasant.
Such is not the case. On the con-
trary, it is pleasant, and after a
few days use no person who loves a
nice clean mouth and a first-rate
sharpener Of the appetite will
abandon it.-Er.

Effect of Comfort on the Quality
of Milk.

The comfort of the COW has much
to do with the quality Of her milk.
In hot weather, the annoyance pro-
duced by flies, and excitement caus-
ed by fighting them, make the
nights milk still poorer than it
otherwise would be. Chemical
analysis has shown a great falling
off of fat of the milk in the same
COW when chased by a dog. Any
unusual excitement Of the COW af-
fects the fat of her milk. Extremes
of heat and cold also affect the milk.
In a case where cows went into a
stream in hot weather, and stood
several hours in the water above
the knees, there WAS u falling off Of
the butter product from the same
quantity of milk. This is account
ed for by the extra food required to
keep up the animal heat in conse-
quence of the heat being carried off
by the water. When we consider
the fact that milk is secreted from
the blood, we can readily see the eff
feet that must be produced by ex-
element on the nervous system Of
the COW. In case occurring in
the city Of Albany, New York,
where q nervous COW was MIXED by
passionate man, who whipped
and otherwise ill-treated her at
milking, the milk was given to q
child who had been healthy, but
after using this milk, became i'll
and suffered from intestinal irrita-
ton, followed by fever which
seemed to affect the brain and ner-
vous system. This illness was
traced directly to the milk of the
ill-treated cow.-National Live Stock
Journal.

The Lines Drawn.

We are drawn into greater action
now since the whisky convention
has forced this question into the
politics of the present, by resolving
to catechize candidates on the sub
ject, and passed resolutions to sup
port no one that does not comply
with their views.
They resolve further to carry this
question into the common transac-
tions Of buying and selling, refusing
to give their trade to those who are
in favor Of temperance, and opposed
to licensed saloons.
The time has fully come, we
think, when all good or religious,
sober men and women, should give
all the force of their influence to
the noble cause Of drying up the
whisky fountain, not only by vo-
ting for none else than sober men,
but by the right Of petition to Leg
islatures and to Congress to pass all
honorable and just laws, to protect
our communities from the terrible
evil of drunkenness, and to protect
our young men from the temptation
set before them in the dram shop

An italian YUult.

A year ago, in the summer of 1880,
deed of heroism was performed Ivy
Young lad at Alessandria, in Piedmont,
for which he has just been rewarded in
Enthusiastically sub-Alpine and Latin
manner. Some children were playing
upon the bank of the river Tanaro, when
one of them, boy 4 years old, toppled
over into the stream, and, as 1t CHANGED,
at most dangerous spot, where prac-
ticed swimmers had already lost their
lives. Eduardo Pozzi, lad OF II, who
saw the accident, determined to venture
upon the task of rescue. He knelt down,
made the sign of the cross, and jumped
boldly into the raging waters. He was
seized by the torrent, but not until he
had tightly grasped the little boy. The
two were sucked under by the waters,
but rose again to the shrface, and the
Young hero, with great resolution and
daring, forced his way into still water,
from whence policeman drew them to
the shore. He fell down exhausted and
unconscious, but kept firm grip upon
the little fellow he had saved.
The King of Italy heard OF
the deed, and directed that the silver
medal of the Order of Merit, with the
Kings thanks, should be sent to the lit
tie he 70. The actual bestowal of the gift,
however, was reserved to the present
year, when the anniversary was made the
occasion of public ceremonial. The
courtyard of the Collegia Nazionale was
adorned with flowers and banners; the
municipal authorities were convoked;
the whole population was invited to take
part in the function, and Senator Zoppi

while the Mayor OF Alessandria gave him
kiss upon his forehead in the name OF
the whole town. When Pozzi was ques-
toned about his deed, he said, with
touching modesty, II knew that if were
drowned he and l would have gone to
Paradise together" His father, who is
railway servant, was invited to dinner
by the Project, and the sons of that func-
tionary solemnly divided bread and salt
with the hero of the day as token OF
perpetual alliance. The father refused
to receive q sum of money which had
been collected.

The rationale of the initial soup has
often been discussed; some regard 1t as
calculated to diminish digestive power,
on the theory that SO much fluid taken at
first dilutes the gastric juices. But there
appears to be no foundation for this be-
lief. A clear soup disappears almost i'm
mediately after entering the stomach,
and in no way interferes with the gastric
mice. which is stored in its appropriate
cells ready for action. The habit OF COM
mencinQ dinner with soup has, without
doubt. its origin in the fact that aliment
in this fluid form--in fact, ready digest
ed-soon enters the blood and rapidly re-
freshes the hungry man, who, after con-
siderable fast and much activity, sits
down with sense of exhaustion to
commence his principal meal. In two
or three minutes after he has taken .
plate of good warm soup, the feeling OF
exhaustion disappears, and irritability
gives way to the gradual rising sense of
good fellowship with the circle. Some
persons have the custom of allaying ex.
haustion with q glass of sherry before
food-a gastronomic no less than phys
biological blunder, injuring the stomach
and depraving the palate. The soup in
trod uces at once into the system small
installment Of ready diGested food, and
saves the short period Of time which
must be spent by the stomach in deriv-
ine some nutriment from solid alimsnt,

The Cunlet

srday morning between 3 and 4
9ck we we're called from our bed by
lGe presence of a sorrel COW with an in
adeq uate tail in the grounds of our win
ter palace.
She had eaten row Of tuberoses and
some mignonette to sweeten her breath,
and was smelling of the statue Of Eli
Perkins, which stands on the west side
of our boulevard, when we came up be-
hind her with bed slat and smote her
on the snOOt.
While merrily romping with her over
the velvety lawn our attention was sud-
denly called to large $3.50 comet, nor
west by nor and about three feet above
the horizon, with its tail over the DASH
board.
When first seen it was in perihelion
with the dome of the Court House, but
while we watched it either the Court
House changed position, or we did, and
the space became much more clearly de-
fined.
Some are of the opinion that this omet
is the one that appeared about twenty
five years ago, but our own idea IS that 1t
is q new one that has never been used.
It has a nucleus that shines with
nebulous light. 1t also carries with it
hyperbola and parabola, in common
valise.
A we'll known astronomer claims that
this is o comet which, according to the
books, isn't due yet for 15OOyears. There
must be some mistake, however, unless
it lost something when it was here 5OO
years ago, and has returned to see IT 1t
cannot find it. Still its running time may
have been changed in order to stir mp
competition with other comets.
| We had not time to fully investigate
the wonderful celestial phenomenon as
people began to pass where we were TAX
ing observations, and, noticing our SIM
pie costume, called the attention OF other
people to us, and, in short time, a
large and demostrative audience had
gathered near us, which disturbed our
scientific researches and concluded the
early morning session. Detroit Free
