unsatisfactory than to sit down day after
day to the same bill of fare. There are
houses where the mistress seems to have no
inventive faculty, acquired or innate. The
breakfast consists from Monday until Satur-
day of the same fried pork and potatoes, or
sausages and cakes. Remnants of things
come on again and again, growing small by
degrees, till one grows tired of seeing the
dish of apple sauce, or the saucer of prlnes,
and is tempted to give them to the dog or
the pigs. All this can be remedied by lit
tie plan. Manage for your own family as if
you had guests, and vary the arrangements
of your table and the articles OF your diet.
Health will be preserved thus and dyspepsia

FURMAN's FORMULA New Orleans
Picayuae says there is missing link in
Furman's plan of enriching the land mas
much as the very poor farmer cannot spare
the money to buy the fertilizers. 1t sug-
gests that the cheapest way to proceed is to
first apply phosphates and kainit to the soil
freely in the spring, and then sow broadcast
from two to four bushels of speckled peas to
the acre, ploW the crop in when in bloom,
and SOW more peas for another crop to he
plowed in when in bloom in the fall, and
then SOW rye and plow in when in bloom in
the spring. 1t would be well to use at least
hundred pounds of commercial fertilizers
on each crop of peas or rye.
If farmer is very poor, and can hard
ly spare these crops exclusively for fertil-
izing purposes, he may let his peas remain
little longer and NOW them to feed his
hogs and work stock daily, or cut for winter
forage. This will do the land much good,
but it will take longer to make it fertile.
All the Furman compost one can make
may be applied to cotton, corn, etc., without
interfering in the least with this mode of
making rich lands out of poor lands.

HARD AND SOFT WATER.-The hardness
or softness of water depends upon the
amount of mineral ingredients which it
contains These mainly consist of carbonate
and sulphate of lime, the former giving rise
70 what is called temporary hardness-it be-
ing for the most part removable by contin-
ued boiling, whereby it becomes incrusted
as chalk on the inside of the vessel in which
the water is boiled and the latter to per-
manent hardness, because it is not thus re-
movable. A very hard water is injurious
for drinking purposes because its power as a
solvent for food is impaired, and because it
is absorbed by the stomach with greater diff
Guilty than soft water, thus giving rise to
indigestion or dyspepsia. In addition to
the long train ofdistressing symptoms which
are included under the term dyspepsia, there
is strong evidence to prove that the habitual
drinking of very hard water also gives rise
to gOitre, a disease associated in many
places with that fearful form ofidiocy known
as cretenism. In many parts of England
goitre is found to prevail only in those dis
tricts where the magnetism limestone for
nation is abundant. In some districts in
Switzerland the use of certain spring waters
of unusual hardness has been followed by
the production or augmentation of the dis
ease in the course of a few days, and similar
results have frequently been observedin In

DAMPNEss OF WALLs.-The dampness
on the walls of brick and stone houses is Of
ten due to the cause which deposits moisture
on glass or pitcher filled with ice water
and brought into a warm room. The walls
become cold and remain so for a long time,
and when the weather changes suddenly
from cold to warm, the air is full of moisture
and is deposited on the walls by the chill
when the air strikes them. 1t is easily pre-
vented, says a mechanical journal. No
plaster should be put directly upon wood or
Stone. In its place furring strips should be
nailed to the wall, and the laths should he
put on these. Cellars are often made very
damp in warm weather from the same cause,
because of too much ventilation. The warm
air pouring in becomes chilled and deposits
its moisture till it runs in streams to the sur
prise of the housekeeper, who wonders how
it is that the more her cellar is aired the
damper it becomes.

SENSIBLE WORDS FROM THE EAST.

SENSIBLE WORDS FROM THE EAST.
We have never let an opportunity pass to
call the attention of the public to the ad-
vantages offered by Texas to those OF other
sections seeking now field. Whenever,
and in whatever way we could say u word
that would advertise the attractive features
OF this state from either social, business,
political or climatic standpoint we have
done so, and more than once have we had
the satisfaction of knowing from direct
proofs and replies that We have not labored
in vain in the effort to induce capital and
population hither. The great fear among
those north, unacquainted with us,
but through political and bitter sectional
prints has been that OF political and social
ostracsm arising from differences of
opinion politically, and the fact of nativity
in some other sections. That the fear is an
idle one, all residents OF Texas know well.
Some time ago we published some facts re.
garding the composition OF the membership
Of our legislature that indicated in u
marked manner the cosmopolitan character
of the people and views of our state, show
ing, In fact, that fewer Texans filled the of.
fees OF honor aud trust in Texas
than did the former residents
Of other states. Commenting on this
fact, the American Register, published
in Washington City, has the following to
say; I'm tho presence OF such facts, immi.
grants would hardly fear social ostracism
in Texas. And yet we can understand why
radical northern newspapers insist that u
strangers life in Texas is invested with pc
culiar dangers. These organs of northern
opinion are cognizant of the fact that
through series of years, Federal authority
sent into Texas and into the south every.
whore every persistent place-seeker unwor-
thy Of official position In Washington or at
his home Every party leader of the
north having patronage to bestow would
send vulgar fellows, who had served them !,
into the south as u sort OF Botany Bay L.
Respectable men, to whom the politicians
were indebted for party services rendered,
were rewarded at home; the hard cases
were pensioned oil in remote southern
states, where their deeds and fame would
harm their patrons in nothing. These
place-men constituted the only specimens
OF northern gentlemen with whom un.
travelled southern country people ever came
In contact. They innooently believed that
these adventures were proper representa-.
tives Of northern society, and tho opinion
was never corrected until recently, when
the president and congressman have been
forced by oxactions of deccnoy and justice
to invest u new class Of hvorites with
southern offices. While the legislature Of
Texas Ia solidly democratic, CoxR having
been reelected to the United States senate
unanimously, II Is thoroughly ocsmorol.

The following remarks from the Caliior-
mia Argonaut, relative to the anti,railway
Legislative spirit recently developed in that
state, apply so well in almost every partic-
ular to Texas that we cannot refrain from
reproducing them. The Argonaut says:
"The spirit which fears rivalry, from what
ever source it may come, Is cowardly. The
railroad system, so far as it has been devel-
opcd, has accomplished miracles for our
state and city. If allowed TO extend it will
accomplish other miracles. When this mar
row and illiberal political opposition is
crushed out, and the small demagogues
who plant themselves in the path of pro-
gress and development shall have been
brushed aside by more generous and lib.
eral public sentiment; when it shall become
the policy of our peopleto encourage enter
prise and allow capital TO exploit itself in
building railroads, and allow those who build
them to control them without the inter
ference of small ltlcians--California will
have entered upon its business Millennium. "

A CASE relating TO marriage contracts and
the law governing such contracts has just
been decided by the appellate court of lii
nois, that may prove Of interest to the
legal fraternity il not the general public in
deed. 1t was Il suit for breach of promise
OF marriage. 1t seems the mutual prom
ises were made In April 1881, and 1t was
agreed that the marriage should be in &C
oordance with the customs of the Jewish
church, and that the ceremony should be
performed on the 18th Of the following Sep
TENDER. On that day the defendant refused
to marry, and suit was brought by the lady
The defense was that the marriage, accord
ing to the Jewish church. could not be ccle-
brated at the time agreed upon, bat the
plaintiff recovered 5000 damages. The
court instructed the jury that this case
must be governed by the laws of the state
of Illinois, and that as u matter OF law, mar
riage between parties competent to enter
into that relation may be legally celebrated
any day in the year. The appellate court
held that the contract was made with
express reference to the rules and customs
of particular church as respected perform
ance, and it followed that those rules be
came part of the contract. For this and
other minor reasons the decision of the
court below was reversed and the cause re-
handed,
