Pins for Woman and Children

A sensational article headed "a Child
Swallows Pin is going the rounds of
the press. Well, what Of it? Is it the
first time that newspaper reporter dis
covered that child could Swsllow a
pin? Why, know of little girl living
in the eastern part Of the city who never
passes a day in her life without swal-
lowing pin or two, and yet she is the
happiest and healthest Girl out. An
old lady informed me short time ago
that she has swallowed on the average
" paper of pins per year, As she is nigh
sixty years old, this statement of hers
seems a wee bit extravaganza; but per-
haps it's all right Anyhow, she feels
uncomfortable without having a pin or
two in her mouth, and even (she says)
goes to sleep with pins in her mouth.
And set ha1lthy, robust, and hap
ply. As no one can tell where the pins
go to, we take itfor granted that a good
many Of them are swallowed by women
who are eyerlastingly in the habit of
keeping pins in their mouths. As far
as | can see, pins are a healthy diet for
women and children They are cheap,
and one pin will do for child a week,
while II paper of pins will keep full
lledged girl in good health for whole
year. A married man can never buy
too many pins for his wife and family,
It's economy, and ten times healthier
than cucumbers, green apples and spoiled
meat THE Bohcmi,IR.

Another Little Comedy at Richmond.

Richmond, January 2I.-The Dis
patch on Thursday published an article
from the Philadelphia Telegraph re-
garding the strange proceedings of the
legislature in connection with the small
pox panic. On the same day delegate
James A. Frazier, of Rockbridge, ar
raigned the Dispatch for the publica-
ton, saying, in the course of his re-
marks: "For years, it is well known,
whenever the Dispatch wants to say
anything particularly mean of those who
happen to differ from the editor, it
goes out of its way to copy articles,
thus avoiding personal responsibility.
Frazier's remarks were published in the
Wing yesterday, and this morning the
Dispatch reproduces the paragraph
above quoted, and supplements it with
the following: eve have only to say
that James A. Frazier is liar"
Anticipating that breach of the
peace would certainly follow such lam
guage, warrants were issued tor the
arrest of Captain w. F. Drlnkard, edi-
tor of the Dispatch, and Frazier.
About II O'Clock this morning Drinkard
was arrested in his sanctum, and while
in the countlng-room of the Dispatch
arranging for some one to accompany
him to the magistrate, Frazier came in
with his friend. He was placed under
arrest, but says there was no necessity
for 1t, as he had come to make an ex-
PLANTATION. He then, in the presence Of
friends, so modified his published re-
marks as % satisfy Captain Drinkard,
and the latter then withdrew his epithet
ofliar. An amicable settlement having
been reached, both parties were re-
leased from custody.

Culinary suggestions.

A scientific writer in the Mark Lane
Express says: "The flavor Of beef is
due to the juices, and if during the
cooking these be allowed to escape the
beef loses much of its taste. Hence,
in broiling, it should from the outset be
exposed to bright, quick fire. which,
by casing the superficial fibres to at
once contract and the albuminous
juice near the surface to coagulate;
leads to the plugging up of the surface
pores, and consequent retention of The
juices. Similarly, in boiling, beef
should be plunged into almost boiling
water. Ga the other hand, in making
beef tea, and gradually heated to draw
the nutriment of the beef into the
water"

Aesthetic Revenge /.

"Zyks" in ST Louis Republican.
August Belmont, though supposed
to be bon vivant, is more than ordl-
narily exacting in Treatment of his
clerks in his clearinghouse, and re.
Gently having occasion to lecture one
of his clerks, went for him most saw
agely, uttering abuse that stranger
would have resented perhaps with ply
steal force. The clerk, however. took
the scolding good naturedly. and when
he was asked why he did not talk
back, said, 81 have my revenge in a
better way. l stand by and enjoy my
self when he opens his foreign mail.
He gets a worse raking than he gives
me when he opens the letters from the

Captain Mckenzie, who has charge
of the Improvement of the Mississippi
between St. Paul and Graften, ILL.,, has
just furnished a report ofhis operations
for the past season. His work was
principally confined to removing snags,
building dams, dredging bars and
making similar improvements in the
river. Thanks to these improvements
light draft boats can now reach St.
Paul at any season of the year. Cap
tain Mckenzie makes serious COM
plant of the danger to navigation re-
sulting from the bridges crossing the
river, which he finds are a serious OBJ
observation-disclosures and dangerous
to passing boats and RATS. He sug-
gests the importance ofbooms or other
works for facilitating navigation at
these bridges, and asks FOR an appro-
priation of $Ioo, 900 from congress to
accomplish this eud. ~.

A Delicious Dish for Desser

From the New York Evening Post.
A delicious dish for dessert, to be
eaten cold with cake, is made of
oranges. Pare five or six, and cut
them in thin slices; pour cup of pull
verized sugar over them; boil one pint
of milk; add while boiling the yolks of
three eggs, and one tablespoonful of
corn starch, which you haye first rubbed
smooth in little cold milk you must
stir every moment till it begins to
thicken like custard, then pour over
the oranges; beat the whites of the
eggs to frost, add tablespoonful of
sugar, put this over custard and set
it in the oven to brown. If you dislike
the distaste of corn starch substitute
two eggs or a tablespoonful of gelatine.

English as the Speech Of the Future.
From the Scientific American.
The success of the English-speaking
people as colonists and their superior
prolificness are not the only reasons
for thinking that the English tongue is
destined to predominant the world. The
fexibiIity and terseness Of the English
language has made it the language Of
international telegraphy, and from sta.
tistics just collected it appears to be the
great newspaper language. In other
words, it about equally divides the
newspapers of the world with all other
tongues combined. The total number
Of newspapers and periodicals now

An Eccentric Millionaire.

New York, January 1.-THE late
Capt. VIM. Tyson was an old sea cap
tom and shipping merchant, residing
near Hackensack, N. J. A few years
since he was rated worth $500, 900.
Previous to his death he became very
eccentric. On one occasion he tore
up $40 900 in government bonds,
SIS. 900 of which he burned up. The
remaining $12 900 was represented by
many fragments, which the govern
ment finally recognized and which it
redeemed in cash on Tuesday. To-
day the New Jersey estate was admin
istered upon by George W. Wheeler:
The inventory of this part of the prop
erty at first footed up $4,000, but
subsequently, in clearing up the Cap
tain's private room, a number OF
checks were found under the carpet,
while from behind the safe were taken
stocks and bonds representing about
100000. Although two or three
years old the checks were honored.
The stocks and bonds, principally min
ing stock and southern state bonds,
realized but few dollars. Mr.. Vince
ler's account foots up $r37 900. The
New York and Philadelphia property
sweiIs the estate to $65o,ooo.

What Shall We do With Our
Worn Lands!

Eds. Standard We wish to make
g proposition on an entirely novel sub.
ject to the readers Of your paper. In
all this section of country there are
lands which are so badly worn that
they are suffered to lie waste, either
within enclosure or thrown outside for
the reason that they are too poor to be
made profitable by tillage.. l have
had some experience in utilizing such
lands, and can say that by proper man.
agement they will pay all expenses and
then give considerable profit.
These lands will bring nothing but
sedge grass and blackberry briars. The
plan is to fence off such portion of the
farm to itself, and keep the briars cut
off clean and use the grass for grazing
mich COWS, the milk from this being
superior to the milk of clover pasture.
The sedge grass has always been great
pest, but we must not let our prejudices
run so strong against it as to deprive il
of fair chance, and | say that anyone
who will try the experiment will be
pleased with the result.
I THINK l SEE.
