A Joke on washington Correspondent.

Probably no jollier lot Of fellows are
alive than the Washington correspond
ents of the American press. They find
plenty of time, even when up to their
ears in work during busy ses-
sion, to poke fun at each other.
One of them, who furnishes spe-
cial dispatches to q leading journal,
could tell a joke upon himselfif he were
so inclined. When he first entered
Washington he was exceedingly green,
but, like most novices, imagined that
news-purveying was trade which could
be learned without a long apprentice
ship. AS he was leaving the Capitol
on certain afternoon in the midst of a
"short session." he was accosted by
some brother scribes, one of whom,
with a perfectly serious face, asked
him if he had heard the result of last
nights caucus. az didn't know there
was one," he aswered. ooh, yes"
said the first speaker, "there was a
joint caucus of both parties, and, after
q great deal of wrangling, they voted
unanimously to adjourn Congress on
the 4th of March," "You don't
say sol" exclaimed the victim,
hurrying off to the telegraph Office. A
few minutes later this bit of news was on
the wires; stranger yet, the editor into
whose hands the dispatch passed at its
destination printed it just as it was sent
without pausing to reflect that a caucus
is invariably meeting of one party on
ly, and that the short session of Con
gress ends, by legal limitation, on thu
4th of March, regardless of caucuses
resolutions, votes or any other consider
ation.-Hartford Conn. Times.

Foods.

The matter Of foods, as relates to the
best forms and methods of using, so as
to supply nutrition to the human organ
ism, is subject so important no wonder
it provokes continued and extended dis
cussion. 1t is a field in which empires
flourish as well as men OF eminent sci
entifc accomplishments, and the views
expressed are diverse, conflicting and
often very absurd. At one time a class
of vegetarians provoke public attention
by their clamor; at another, men who
would Danish all forms of vegetable
foods hold the field, and mankind are
declared to be carnivorous animals and
must be fed, like lions and tigers, only
with flesh foods. Experiments have
been conducted often and persistently
to prove one Or the othor class of opin-
ions erroneous, and however conflicting
may be views of the results, one point
has been settled, and that is, that human
beings can exist and flourish on either
kind of aliment, or on both kinds to-
gether, in any proportions that fancy
NAV dictate. This, however, does not
place beyond the field OF controversy
the question as regards the best forms
of food for the weak and sickly, those
whose organs of digestion and assimila-
ton are impaired in functional activity.
Wheat is a wonderful cereal, and in its
chemical composition the evidence of
design is so apparent that one must be
stupid indeed who does not discover it..
There is not function OF the body that
can not be sustained upon the principles
stored up in the wheat berry; and there
is not nerve or tissue that can not be
nourished and fed by it alone.
AS regards the distinction, nutritively
considered, between the whole grain
and the white flour of the interior parts,
there is no room for doubt or dispute.
1t is the whole grain which constitutes
perfect food; the white flour is incapa-
BILE of affording complete and healthful
support under all conditions of human
existence. The white loaf is very beau
tiful and fashionable, but it does not
contain the phosphates of magnesia,
lime and soda which are found in the
brown loaf. These salts are stored fol
some wise reason, doubtless in the bran
or outer covering of the grain, and they
are certainly lost to a large extent in
the boiling process.
Nature is wiser than man, as man is
but q creature of Nature. A fact Sc
insignificant as that which is brought tc
view in the study of the wheat grair
must not be treated with contempt. l
may be an error, and it probably is, t.
supply the outer coverings of wheat il
the leaf, in coarse particles, but it is no
an error to hold them in combination
in every form of food which may b,
desired. There is much said and don,
in regard to this matter which is empiri
cal and unworthy of trust, but the plail
facts as stated remain.-BostoH J0UWd

How She Cared Him Of Swearing.

The husband of q certain Nashville
lady was, before his marriage, furious
swearer. Through his wife's influence
he left off this bad habit, except
one favorite cuss word, which chung
to him under all circumstances, and
which, to the great annoyance of his
good wife, he would unconsciously use
everywhere-the word damn" Sew
eral months since he arose one cold
morning before the servant came in to
make the wood fire, and after long
effort and fruitless burning of many
matches, turned and said, "Sallie, this
damn fire won't burn.n To this,
the good wife earnestly said, eyes,
the damn wood is too green, and the
damn servant has forgotten to bring up
any damn kindling wood to start the
damn fire with" He looked at
his wife in absolute dismay, but
at once saw the point and said moth.
ing. A longer period than usual passed
without the fayorite expletive being
used, but later on he wanted basket
and said, after looking for it: "Sallie,
where has the damn basket got top
The wife quietly, as if putting child to
sleep, said: "Ask the damn cook to
get the damn basket-damn her, she
Keeps it." AS before, he said nothing,
but months have passed, land if he damns
anything it is not where she is. She

months since first commenced using that OIL

happened to commence using ST. JACOBS OIL on
horses in this way: My father is over eighty
years Of age and is subject TO many of the
ailments incident TO old age Among other
things he has Rheumatic attacks, pains in his
limbs and joints, and aches in different parts of
his body. He commenced using ST, JACOBS OIL
several months since, and after rubbing himself
freely with the liniment night and morning, ac-
cordIng to the printed directions, he obtained the
most decided relief. Whenever he has any pain
now he uses ST. JACOBS OIL and it always drives
the pain away. Now fully know from personal
observation that What is good for man is good for
beast Further reports bring the gratifying in
telligence that Aristides Welsh, ESQ, of Erden-
helm Stock-Farm, near Philadelphia, Pa, the
breeder of that famed racer, Iroquois, above rep
resented uses ana strongly endorses ST, JACOBS
OIL as n wonderful remedy in its effects upon his
stock His experience with the Great German
Remedy justified him in giving his unqualified
Endorsement of it, and in saying that his chief
groom should always use it on the farm. O

An employer should always manage

AN employer should always manage
to oversee the work which is being per-
formed. A general and intelligent over
sight is very different from petty and IL
ritating meddling. The appreciative
eye which discovers real merit and re-
wards it by increasing trust, which dis
Germs unfaithfulness or slackness and
visits it with just rebuke, is q potent in
fuence to produce good and true work.
Many of the steps in doing work, many
of the methods by which it is done, may
be judiciously left to the discretion of
the agent; but to see to it that the work
itself is well done, to show an intelligent
and lively interest in it, to tolerate no
unfaithfulness, and to show appreciation
of all real excellence is the duty and to
the interest of every employer.

A Clean Skin.

Most of our invalids are such, and
many healthy people will become in
yalids, for want of paying the most
ordinary attention to the requirements
of the skin. The membrane is too of

of a complicated piece of machinery,
scarcely second in its texture and sensi-
tiveness to the ear and the eye. Many
UreaJ IL with 40 Little reference to its
functions as if it were only a bag for
their bones. 1t is this reconsideration
for the skin that is the cause of a very
large proportion of the disease of the
world. l. is claimed by some scientists
that four ffths in the bulk of all we eat
and drink must either pass off through
the skin or be turned back upon the
system as a poison, and life depends as
much upon these exhalations through
the skin as inhaling pure air through
the lungs; it must therefore be of vital

While removing the debris after
blast at the silver mine in Indiantown
Gap, Pa, in the solid rock at depth of
seventy-nine feet below the surface was
found a nest of three snakes of an ap-
parently unknown species. They were
about a foot in length, black as jet on
the back, light gray on the under sur
face, and as distinguishing mark each
one had directly back of the head, ex-
tending around the entire body, a well.
marked and distinct ring or collar of
bright yellow. They were killed by the
miners as soon as found, as they seemed
vicious, and coiled to strike.

Waiting for Dead Mems Shoes.

a iow yoOrs ago, decrepit old man
crept around the shabby precints of a
Southern town, of whom a singular
story was told. He was the last male
descendant of a family to whom be-
longed large estates. His uncle was the
last possessor. He died without children.
The property was bequeathed by him to
his wife during her life, and at her death
to this nephew, then q lad of fifteen.
The wealthy widow was at this time
fifty years old and by no means healthy !;
but she heartily disliked the heir, and
refused to recognize him or give him
any. immediate assistance. But the boy
congratulated himself with the assur-
ance that she could not keep his inher-
itance from him at her death, and prob
ably her death was not far off. Fifty
appears old age to fifteen. Hence,
although the lads mother was poor, he
studied no profession and learned nc
trade. Indeed, he troubled himself very
little about education of any sort Why
should he drudge over books or in any
ready made for him.
Years passed. The lad became 6
