PUT THIS INTo YouR PIPE.-An
English workingman just past the
middle age found that his pipe,
which for many years had been a
great comfort to him, was beginning
to seriously affect his nerves. Be-
fore giving it up, however, he deter
mined to find out if there was no way
by which he might continue to smoke
without feeling it's effects to an in
furious extent. He accordingly wrote
to medical Journal and was recon-
mended to fill the bowl of his pipe
one-third full of table salt and press
the tobacco hard down upon it, as in
ordinary smoking. The result was
very satisfactory. During the pro-
cess of smoking the salt solidifes,
while remaining porous, and when
the hardened lumpis removed at the
end Of q days smoking it is found to
have absorbed so much of the oil OF
the tobacco as to be deeply colored.
The salt should be renewed daily.

A CURIOUS LETTER.

One of the curious letters which
General Garfield received during the
Presidential campaign was as follows:
Dear Brother Garfield: I'VE are
building a new church over by the
old we'll; we'll have it dyne by the
third Lords day in August. We
want you to send us new Bible for
the pulpit. We don't want no extra
fine Bible, but a good plain Bible,
with leather covers and printed on
the back in yaller letters: Presented
to the church at the old we'll by Jas.
A. Garfield Now, Brother Garfield,
/ wouldn't have you to not send this
Bible for the price of fifty Bibles, for
Tn dimicrat and have always been
dimicrat, and the male members OF
our church are dimicrats unanimous
ly, but when a godly man is put up
for q big Office, we're going to go fuI
him. Therefore hopin' you'll send
on the Bible, I remain your affection,
ate dimicratic brother in Christ
"P. ST. manufacture chawing to-
backer. If you chaw I would like to
send you box" General Garfield
sent down to Cleveland for a $15
Bible, had it marked with "yaller'
letters and sent as requested.

IT CAME FROM MIsspELLING.-A
misspelled word may lead whole
generation off the right track. mine
tailors make a man." is an odd say
ing, and a good illustration OF our
statement. To look down on the
worthy profession of the cloth cutter
because of such a proverb shows a
want of proper instruction. In the
olden times, when person died, the
church bell toiled once for every year
the departed had lived. But from
the tolling of the bell no one could
tell whether the deceased was a man
or woman. To satisfy public curios-
ity, perhaps, on that subject, the
sexton, after tolling the age, gave
eight quick strokes of the bell if the
deceased was a woman, and nine ii it
was a man, and these quick strokes
at the end of the tolling were called
.'tailers," because they were at the
tail end of the whole business. Hence
the proverb, Mine tailers make
man."

conscientious Military History.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The volume by General Humphreys
on the Virginia campaign of ga and
'65 attracts much attention. The
New York Tribune says of General
Humphreys as historian:
His narrative is almost painfully
concise. He confines himself to bare
facts with a rigor which We cannot
help finding somewhat aseetio. He
will make no concession to human
weakness, even when he reaches the
climax of the American epic. If he
has any sense of the romantic or the
picturesque, stern conception OF
duty has taught him to put it down,
As General Meade's chief of staff un>
til near the close of the war-when he
succeeded Hancock in the command
of the Second Oorps-he was cognizant
of all the minuti@ Of the opera
tious of the Array of the
Potomac, and Of many military plans,
etc.. of which there is no public
record; and one cannot help imagin
ing him writing this precise book at
desk full OF pigeon holes, with the
documentary material neatly dock
etel, folded and ruled with red ink.
There is no denying that he is dry.
The controversies connected with
this campaign General Humphreys
treats for the most part with extreme
reserve. He is emphatic, however, in his
contradiction Of General Radesu on
several points, and once, at least, he
cOnyicts that writer Of q gross and
