THE London correspondent of the New
York World, Mr.. L. J. Jennings, makes the
following noteworthy suggestion: Instead
of attempting to slay the present prime min
lister, the Fenian leaders ought to pray in the
old Hebrew manner that he may live forev-
er. he has brought the English people to
look the question of Irish Independence in
the face; he has accustomed them to hear
and see the thing discussed as one of the
probable events of the future, although he
has done it by roundabout process. Leave
Mr.. Gladstone to work out his. policy and
Ireland must be s'free'-that is, she will be
freed from the yoke of England. In his
hands is the only dynamite that can be used
with good effect He has induced the Eng
lish people to abolish the Irish church, and
to upset the landed system. His influence
is apparently almost as great as ever. Mr..
Gladstone has done more, and can do more,
to cut ireland loose from England than all
the men employed to destroy public build
ings and to massacre helpless women and
children who may be living in them. There
is no destroyer like Mr.. Gladstone, and this
the Fenians win in the end be forced to adj

THE polar exploration business is to be
discontinued, the American and several 9TH
er Governments taking part in it having be-
come wearied of it. The International Polar
Commission announced from st. Petersburg
that all expeditions now out will return next
September-if they can. There is consider
able difficulty experiencep in putting an end
to polar expeditions. When one goes out to
explore it usually takes two or more to go
and find out what became of the first one,
and, if possible, bring some Of its survivors
back. Just how many expeditions there are
out now we are not informed. We have one
at least about whose return there is some
doubt-that Of Lieut.. Greeley. An effort
will be made to reach and aid him, but it is
this kind of thing which makes polar explo-
rations sort of perpetual motion. When
all the expeditions are safely in or given up
finally, there should be urgent precautions
used to prevent the escape of any new ones.
We seem to possess all the knowledge of the
Arctic regions we can make any immediate
use of, and can safely wait until the next
century before being oppressed with the
want of any more.

The Soda Remedy,

1t is now many years ago that the
author, while engaged in some investi-
cations as TO the qualities and effects of
the alkalies in infammations OF the skin,
was fortunate enough to discover that o
carbonated soda in either plain water
or camphorated water, if applied speed
lily, or as soon as possible, to burn or
scalded part, was most eaectual in i'm
mediately relieving the acute burning
pain; and when the burn was only
superficial or not very severe, removing
all pain in very short time; having
also the very great advantage of clean
illness, and, if applied Mt once, of pre-
venting the usual consequences
painful blisterIng of the skin, separa-
tion of the epidermis, and, perhaps,
more or less suppuration.
For this purpose oil that is necessary
is to cut piece of lint, or old soft rag,
or even thick plotting paper, of size
sufficient to cover the burned or scalded
parts, and to keep constantly well wet
with the sodaic lotion so as to prevent
its drying. BY this means it usually
happens that all pain ceases in from a
quarter b half an hour, or even in much
less time. When the main part OF
limb, such as the hand and forearm or
the foot and leg, has been burned it is
best, when practicable, to plunge the
part at once into jug or pail, or other
convenient vessel filed with the soda
lotion, and keep it there until the pain
subsidies; or the limb may be swathed
or encircled with surgeons cotton
bandage previously soaked in the
saturated solution. and kept constantly
wet with it, the result being usually i'm
mediate, provided the solution be sat
urated and cold. What is now usually
sold as bicarbonate of soda is what L
have commonly used and recommended,
although this is well known to vary
much in quality according to where it
is manufactured; but it viii be found
to answer the purpose, although prob
ably Towards is most to be depended
on, the common carbon being too
caustic. 1t is believed that large
proportion of medical practitioners are
still unaware of the remarkable quail
ties of this easily applied remedy, which
recommends itself for obvious reasons.

A Cautions Politician.

During the political life of Martin Van
Buren,, he was assailed by such epithets
as The Little Magician, ""The Kinder
hook Fox These epithets derived
their offenseiveness from the fact that
Mr.. Van Buren, was inclined to act
upon Talleyrand's maxim. Language is
given us to conceal our thoughts" and
was very cautious about committing
himself to an opinion. The following
anecdote illustrates his peculiarities
When Secretary of State he once
wrote letter but before sealing it he
handed it to one of his clerks in the de-
partment to read. ~ want YOU to read
this letter and tell me what you think
OF it," said the Secretary.
The clerk politely obeyed, and re-
turned the letter, saying that it was as
uniutelligible to him as if it had been
written in Chaldee or Greek.
The Secretary smiled as he received
it, saying, THAT will do, / think it will
answer" and seemed as much pleased
as a man who has invented cryptic
gram of which he alone had the key.
His non-committalism was d standing
joke among his friends. Once knot
of politicians was discussing his claims
to the Presidency on board an Albany
day-boat.
In discussing his private character,
one of the gentlemen remarked that he
was one of the most non-committal men
that ever lived. When the boat landed
at Undertook, to the surprise of the
party Van Buren, stepped on board.
In order to test the point of discus
sion wager was laid between two of
the politicians that Van Buren, would
not give n categorical answer to the
simplest question that could be pro-
pounded.
One of the party was deputed to go to
the Fox" and ask a question which had
been agreed on.
When the question was asked-"Mr.
Van Buren,, in order to settle dispute,
can you tell us where the sun rises ?'-
the latter hemmed and hesitated, and
presently said, "The terms east and
west are conventional, but"
Hold on, that will do" interrupted
the other; Il have lost the bet"

BOYS. Learn n Trade.

Learn trade even if Won are i'll a
position which may seem to insure you
against want as long as YOU may live.
You may not follow trade for living,
but time invested in learning trade,
and learning it thoroughly, is the lay
ing away of capital stock on which
YOU may find it very convenient to draw
some day. Life is said to be an uncer-
tain existence 1t is, so far as wealth
is concerned. You may be a rich man
to-day, but by some unlucky Investment
which made great promises at the start,
and failed, you are made poor man.
With a good trade, under such circum-
stances, you have nothing to fear. You
have an eXhaustless reserve fund to
draw from. Not only learn the theory
of trade, but learn its practical worth,
and learn it thoroughly. In the Car
riage Makers convention in New Haven,
CT, after the committee on apprentice
ship had reported in favor of restoring
the old system of indenturing appren-
tees until they reach their majority,
Mr. John w. Britton, of New York,
said: "One of the serious wants of
this country, and our trade is good boys.
Our boys are deteriorating as are our
men. The greatest difficulty that we
experience in New York is that of get
ting boys who have brains and are will
ing to learn trade thoroughly. The
example of men who have made mill
ions in few years is held up before
our boys in school, a.d the boys become
fnfIamed with the notion that they must
make their millions and be able rs found
crossroads colleges before they die.
So they eschew trades and become poor
professionals" America, to-day, de-
ponds upon Europe for her most skilled
and finest workmen, simply because
her young men slight the minutia OF
the trade they go to learn, and merely
obtain n superficial or general knowl'
edge of it. We have too many pro
fessional men in the country to-day
and, as the speaker above referred tc
says, our schools love to dwell too much
on the achievements of professional
men. A man with trade we'll learned
next TO the farmer, is the most in
dependent, and most to be envieC
among men. He is prepared for any
| emergency.

Should the Hair BE Cat.

1t may be that cutting and shaving
may for the time increase the action of
the growth, but it has no permanent
effect either upon the hair bulb or the
hair sac, and will not in any way add
to the life of the hair. On the con-
trary, cutting and shaving will cause
the hair to grow longer for the time
being, but in the end will inevitably
shorten its term of life by exhausting
the nutritive action of the hair-forming
apparatus. When the hairs are fire.
quently cut they will usually become
coarser, often losing the beautiful gloss
of the fine and delicate hairs. The
pigment will likewise change-brown,
for instance, becoming chestnut, and
black changing to dark brown. In
addition, the ends of very many will be
split and ragged, presenting brush
like appearance If the hairs appear
stunted in their growth upon portions
OF the scalp or beard, or gray hairs
crop up here and there, the method OF
clipping off the ends of the short hairs,
or plucking out the ragged, withered,
and gray hairs, will allow them to grow
stronger and thicker. Mothers in rear
ing their children should not cut their
hair at certain periods of the year
during the superstitious periods of full
moon), in order to increase its length
and lUxuriance as they bloom into
womanhood and manhood. This babit
of cutting the hair of children brings
evil instead of good, and is also con-
demned by the distinguished worker In
tbs department, Prof. Kaposi, of Vi
emma, who states that it is well known
that the hair of women who possess
luxuriant locks from the time of girl
hood never again attains its original
length after having once been cut.
Pincus has made the same observation
by frequent experiments, and he adds
that there is Il general impression that
frequent cutting of the hair increases
it's length; but the effect is different
from that generally supposed. Thus,
upon one occasion he states that he cut
off circles of hair an inch in diameter
on the heads of healthy men, and from
week to week compared the intensity of
growth of the shorn place with the
rest of the hair. The result was sur
prising to this close and careful OBJ
server, as he found in some cases the
numbers were equal, but generally the
growth became slower after cutting,
and he has never observed an increase
in rapidity. l might also add that l
believe many beardless faces and bald
heads in middle and advanced age are
often due to constant cutting and
shaving in early life. The young girls
and boys seen daily upon our streets
with their closely-cropped heads, and
young men with their clean-shaven
faces, are year by year by this fashion
having their hair-forming apparatus
overstra;ned. Dr.. Shoemaker.
