SENSIBLE WORDS.

The following sensible item, which We
copy from the Printers Circular, of
Philadelphia, is worthy of careful pc
rllsal "The columns of a newspaper
are the publishers stock in trade, and
the parties who ask to use them for their
especial benefit must expect to pay for
:he same. Every public-spirited citizen
of place should have pride in seeing
his town and surroundings improved.
Every new house, every road, every new
manufacturing establishment erected,
every new business opened, enhances
the value of property in our midst.
Every rejecting mind knows this to be
true, and it should not he forgotten that
the local newspaper adds much to the
general wealth and prosperity of the
place, rs well as increases the reputation
of the town abroad. 1t benefits all who
have business in the place it enhances
the value of property, beside being a
desirable public convenience, even if not
conducted in the interests of the ruling
power. 1t increases trade, it cautions
against imposition, it saves you from
loss. it warns you of danger, it points
out different advantages, and increases
your profits. The local press is tue
power that moves the people therefore
support it by advertising in it literally,
subscribing for it. and paying for it."

REMEDY FOR COLD FEET.

We suggest very simple but effica-
cious remedy for cold feet: Procure
two strips Of zinc of about the width of
the sole of your foot, and sufficiently
long to reach from the toes to the hol-
low; to these have riveted, with copper
rivets, pieces of copper that will reach
from the hollow to the heel, but not be.
yond it. Have these combined slips of
copper and zinc cut az near to the form
of the foot as possible, and, on going to
bed at night, place them next to the
soles. To secure them in their places.
draw over each foot a stocking. This
simple remedy, we guarantee, will, in
every case of cold feet, prove eficacious.
The zinc should contain little or no lead.
The quality Of the zinc may be known
Dy its brittleness, as pure zinc will never
"lap" over. These "magnetic soles. :"
for such we shall call them, will also
correct that disagreeable complaint to
which many persons appear to lie con-
stitutionally subject-viz., sweaty feet.
Of course, it is understood that the mag.
netic soles are to be worn only in bed,
as it would be too uncomfortable to walk
with them.-NeU York Times.
EVERY printer is galley slave. Yes,
and his wife is the gal lie slaves for.

ANONYMOUS WRITERS FOR THE
PRESS.


{. F. Clarkson, tho veteran agricult
1 ural editor Of the Des Moines Rc0istcr
gives his views rs to fictitious signatures
to newspaper articles: Having been in
side of the curtains for considerable
portion of long life, it has given al
opportunity to Judge of the character
and animus of those who write for news
papers over fictitious signatures. have
no confidence in them, and seldom read
their productions. They are either
ashamed of what they are writing OF
they are sneaking slandcrers. This
KIND OF stabbing is done in fancied &C.
curity. To he defended by such an one
casts suspicion upon the man or the
cause. Such communications are nj.
ways suspected and stunned by reflect
ing men. And when have ever known
man writing an article and signing
some name to it who has been dead
thousands of years, or who never exist
ell, L ever after hold that man at a re-.
spectful distance as dangerous. 1t may
he laid down as safe rule that any man
who writes and signs some other name
than his own, or some arbitrary initial
letters, is ashamed of what he writes, or
is not willing to he responsible for the
statement, or he wishes to stab some
mans character in the dark, or knows
his own character for vcracity is so bad
that his name attached would be an i'm
parchment Of the article. 1 have made
this matter a study for many years; and
fictitious writers have always beer
suspicious men. Poets and novel.
lists have SO concealed their
productions, but it was only until their
writings had established the fact that
they would be a disgrace to their real
ones. "Junius," the ablest critic who
ever hid behind fictitious name, did
not dare at the time, nor during his life,
to openly acknowledge the authorship of
his letters. Ana all of his SUCCESSORS
have been pack of snarling, disreputa-
ble puppies, whose characters would
condemn their statements, or who are
mean enough to stab man or his opin-
ions, like the midnight assassin, in the
dark. Any one may, therefore, look
with grave and well-founded suspicion
upon any communication in newspaper
without the writer's name to it. This
position is sustained by the thousands of
articles offered to me as an editor in the
asst fifty years. They were generally
offered by sneaking slanderers, or to
an unworthy and dastardly
purpose. Editors should not tolerate
such things. Anything man writes, if
it is not good enough to put his name to,
is not good enough for publication.
The communication itself should not
only be held as suspicious, but the man
himself should ever after be watched.
having once attempted to say thing or
make a statement without daring to be
himself responsible. r it. Ihave looked
over in my memory the long list of
those who years ago attempted to effect
A purpose or belabor an opponent fic.
titiously; they have eventually come to
,ome bad end.

PRoF. KxDzm, Of the Michigan Agri-
cultural College, in . late address said
that cane sugar is two and one-half times
as sweet Is grape sugar, closely allied to
it, and differs 30 little from il that some
persons cannot distinguish it BY cook
ing, the cane sugar may be changed to
grape sugar, and thus lose its sweeten-
ing power. Some women put the sugar
in with q mass Of acid fruit to be cooked.
and keep cooking, and adding sugar
while it keeps on growing sourer, until
at last they use two and one-half times
as much sugar as they need to eecure
the desired result The cane sugar ha
been changed to grape sugar. Now il
the sugar had been added after the fruit
was cooked, much less would have been
required, and the result would have
been far more satisfactory.

Ciose To our feet crept the restless sea;
In the tender tones that fond hearts prize,
told her how fair she was to me.

The flashing waves sang low aud sweett
The bright eyes shone at the words ! said,
While the light foam nestled about her feeA
1prased the sheen Of her chestnut hair;
Never word she said To- me,
But CLOSER she crept TO my side down iherc,

In ancient days, in Spain, the dead
were rObed, according to their sex, in
the garb Of monk or nun, and thus bur
led, practice which gave rise to the
peasant dictum, "Only nuns and monks
die in Spain !" But now they are bur-
led according to taste, in white, or, more
often, in their ordinary clothes; q babe
would be laid out in its white baby
clothes, a bride in her wedding dress.

ANorED writer says: "I never was a
good carver, which is one good reason
why I do not have turkey on my table
every day instead of only once a year.

it the standing dish in my household.
Those who think We take it for cheap
ness make mistake. The convenience
Of the thing is its recommendation"

was concerned, was of the most singu-
lar character. Every day at p. IN. he
would undress and go to bed for an
hour. He would awake promptly at 8
to dine, at 10 take little doze in his
chair, go to bed at midnight, and rise at
43O. This was his invariable routine.
and any departure from it annoyed him.
