had Just arrived from jersey City, and
passers-by, on their way to Fulton ferry.

Burns Relieved by Soda.

All kinds of burns, Including scalds
and sunburns. are mostly immediately
relieved by the application of a solu-
ton OF soda to the burnt surface. 1t
must be remembered that dry soda
will not do unless it is surrounded with
a cloth moist enough to dissolve it.
This methed of sprinkling it on and
covering it with a wet cloth 10 often
the very best. But it is sufficient to
wash the wound repeatedly with .
strong solution. It would be well to
keep o bottle of it always OF hand,
made SO strong that mere or less set
ties on the bottom. This is what ID
called q saturated solution, and really
such o solution as this is formed when
the dry soda is sprinkled on and cover
cd with a moistaned cleth. It il
thought by some tho pain of a burn il
caused by the hardening of the albumen
Of the flesh which presses on the
nerves, and that the soda dissolves the
albumen and relieves the pressure.

The Creation of Women.

A prince once said to Rabbi CANA
liel
"Yeur God lie a thief; he surprised
Adam in his sleep, and stole a rib from
him."
The Rabbits daughter overhead this
speech, and whispered a word or two
in her fathers ear, asking permission
to answer this singular opinion. He
gave his consent. The girl stepped
forward, and feigning terror and dis
may, threw her arms aloft in supplica-
ton and cried ont.
My liege! my liegem
What has happened 7" asked the
prince.
"a wicked theft has taken place.
replied the girl. "A robber has crepi
secretly into our house, carried away a
silver goblet and left a geld n 10 it,

What an upright theft" exclaimed
the prince. "Would that such rob

Behold then, sire, the kind of thiri
that our Creator was. He stole a rit
from Adam, and gave him a beautiful

Well said" avowed the prince.

Influence of Newspapers.

A school teacher, who had been a
long time in his profession, and witness
ed the influence of a newspaper upon
the minds of g family of children,
writes as follows
I have found it to be a universal
fact, without exception, that those
scholars of both sexes and of all ages
who have access to newspapers at home,
when compared with those who have
not, are :
/. Better readers, excellent in pro-
nunciation, and consequently read
more aud Understandings.
2. They are better spoilers, and de.
| fine words with ease aud accuracy.
3. They obtain a practical knowledge
of geography in almost half the time il
requires of others, as the newspapers
have made them acquainted with the
location of the important places, of ma
tions, their government and doings on
the globe.
A. They are better grammarians, fol
having become SO familiar with every
variety of style in the newspapers, from
the common place advertisement te
the finished. and classical Grafton OF
statesmen, they more readily cempre'
bend the meaning of the text, and con
stantly analyze it's construction will
accuracy.
S. They write better compositions
using better language, containing more
thoughts-more clearly and correctly
expressed.
6. Those young men who have fol
years been readers of newspapers are
always taking the lead in debating so,
~cieties. exhibiting a more extensive
knowledge upon a greater variety o
subjects, and expressing their views
with greater fuency, clearness ano
| correctness.

Typographical al Errors.

The average reader is about as ia
miliar with the intricate workings OF
the mechanical department OF n news
paper as he is with the Inhabitants of
the moon. And it is as amusing as it
is disgusting for n who has spent
years in learning the cart preserva-
tive of all arts" to listen to the criti-
cisms of a person who is perhaps una
BILE to spell half the words in the En-
glish language correctly, when an DC
casional typographical error creeps
into the paper. An ordinary printer
will set up in a day from seven to
eight thousand ems. in doing WHICH lie
will handle and place in position some
twenty thousand type. Is it any won
der that he occasionally misplaces a
letter? The best proof, reader in the
world is apt 20 overlook an error made
bv the printer if for one momont lie
allows his mind to wander from his
task. The New York Herald is sup
pesed te be the most perfect in its ale
chanical department of any newspaper
printed in this country. 1t is supposed
to have the most experienced proof
readers that money can command
and yet there is never an Issue OF the
paper but what one, and it more fire.
quently happens a half dozen, typo
graphical errors occur. Then, kind
reader, when you discover "a misplaced
letter in your paper, or an occasional
misspelled word, don't imagine you
are a here. The printer knows they
are there he knows that it is an utter
impossibility to weed them all out
And if he can't accomplish it, certain
ly you cannot.
