GOOD RULES FOR WINTER.-Tho fol-
lowing rules, published in Farm and
Fireside,'' are worth needing by those
who believe that an ounce of prevention
is worth pound of cure:
Never lean with the back upon any,
thing that is cold. Never begin Journey
until the breakfast has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then i'm
meclately go out in the cold.
Keep the back, especially between the
shoulder-blades, well-covered; also, the
chest well protected. In sleeping in cold
room establish the habit of breathing
through the nose, and never with the
mouth open.
Never go to bed with cold or damp feet.
Never omit regular bathing, for unless
the skin is in active condition the cold
will close the pores and favor congestion
or other diseases.
After exercise of any kind never ride in
an open carriage or near the window of a
car for moment; it is dangerous to
health, and even to life.
When hoarse, speak as little as possible
until the hoarseness is recovered from.
else the voice may be permanently lost or
difficulties of the throat be produced.
Merely warm the back by a fire, and
never continue keeping the back exposed
to heat after it has become comfortably
warm. To do otherwise is facilitating.
When going from a warm. atmosphere
into cooler one keep the mouth closed,
so that the air may be warmed by it's pas
sage through the nose ere it reaches the
lungs.
Never stand still in cold weather, es-
pecially after having taken slight degree
of exercise, and always avoid standing on

Garfeld's Story of a Hammer.

| In an address on the "Elements of
Success, - delivered by the late General
Garfield before the students of Spencer's
business college In Washington city, the
General told an excellent story of how a
we'll known manufacturer studied twenty
five years to produce better hammer
than any-other maker. AS the story is
true, and the moral unsurpassed, we re-
produce it in full. Mr.. Garfield said:
''ln order to have any success in life,
or any worthy success, you must resolve
to carry into your work fulness Of knowl-
edge-not merely suficiency. In this
respect, follow the rules of the machinists.
If they want machine to do the work of
six horses they give it nine horse power
so that they may have reserve of three.
To carry on the business of life you must
have surplus power. Be fit for more than
the thing you are now doing. Let every
one know that you havea reserve IN your
self; that you have more power than you
are now using. IF you are not too large
for the place you occupy, you are too
small for it. How full our country is of
bright examples not only of thoas who &C.
cupy some proud eminence in public life,
but in every place you may find men going
on with steady nerve, attracting the at
tention of their fellow citizens, and carv-
ing out for themselves names and for
tunes from small and humble beginn ings,
and in the face of formidable obstacles.
Let me cite an example of a man I recent
ly saw in the little village of Norwich, N.
Y. Ifyou wish to know his name, 60 in
to any hardware store and ask for the
best hammer in the world, and if the
salesman be an Intelligent man, he will
bring you a hammer bearing the name of
D. Maydole. Young gentlemen, that ham,
mer in your hand, drive nails with and
draw inspiration from it |!
"Thirty years ago boy was struggling
through the SHOWS of Cherando Valley,
trying to hire himself out to a blacksmith.
He succeeded, and learned his trade; but
he did more. He took it into his head
that he could make better hammer than
any other man had made. He devoted
himself to the task for more than a quar-.
ter of century. He studied the chemis-
try of metals, the strength of materials,
the philosophy of form. He studied fail
ure. Each broken hammer taught him a
lesson. There was no part of the process
that he did not master. He taxed his wit
! to invent machines to perfect aud cheaper
his processes. No improvement in work
ing steel or iron escaped his notice. What

Nor care for wind. nor tide, nor sea-;

For 10! my own shall come to me.
stay my haste, 1 make delays;
For what avails this eager race?
stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my face
Asleep, awake, by night or day.
The friends seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark astray
Nor change the tide OF destiny.
What matter If stand alone!
wait the joy Of coming years;
My heart shall reap where it has sown,
And garner up Its fruit Of tears.
The waters know their own and draw
The brooks that spring in yonder heights;
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delights
The stars come nightly to the sky.
The tidal wave unto the sea:
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high,
Gan keep my own away from me.

How TO SAVE CORN FoDDER--The
complaint that stock will not eat corn
fodder we'll, or over one-fourth to one
third of it. arises from our method, or
lack of method, in securing it. Most of
our corn is allowed to stand as it grew.
and to have it's nutrition washed out of
it, and then it is fed where it grew to cat
tie rowing through the field. The bleach
ed stuff is little liked and little eaten. A
few cut it and put it into large shocks,
but not until after the corn is dead ripe.
1t should be cut while the stalks are yet
quite green. the corn being in the latter
stages of the dough state, or before the
kernel is too hard to crush easily in the
fingers and before it is dry throughout. It
should be put into shocks made from four
hills square IN the place of the old sixteen
hills square, and bound round the.top by
straw, Irvine ora green corn stalk. It is
we'll to bend the tassels down, binding
their tops under, thus turning the rain.
In the course of two to four weeks, de-
pending upon the weather the small
shocks may easily be husked out and the
corn cribbed. The band will not have to
be removed nor the shock taken down in
husking. After husking. the hills of corn
around which the shock is wanted, may
be cut, and the fodder of the shock NAV
be quickly and easily, by one man, passed
to the wagon for stacking, the band
around the shock always remaining on.
Thus treated it will be tender. more pala-
table. and more nutritious, and when fed
with clover, cottonseed meal, or middlings
will be nearly all eaten. 1t will also be
handled from the start at less expense
than by the system of sixteen hills square
shock.

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

Since 1880 the composition of the Ma
tional Republican Convention has been
very materially changed. The body to
meet in 1884 will have sixty-four more
members. 1t will require now All votes
to nominate President, whereas prior TO
this but $40 were necessary. The South
and West will have a larger comparative
representation than in 1880, and while the
South cannot be expected to give the party
a single electoral vote, vet it has thirty-one
more representatives than in any former
Convention. Thus Texas, which gave
Garfield $4,000 votes, has twenty-six dele
gates in the Convention, while New Hamp-
shire, which gave him 5000 votes, has
but eight votes. This is cause of COM
plant in many Republican quarters, and
occasions one of the leading journals of
New York State to declare that the Con-
yention should be called upon to evolve a
better system of representation of Republi-
can sentiment in the future-one that will
not place it in the power of section to
nominate which cannot give aid in the
matter of election.

BULLS IN CHINA SHOPS.

The efforts of certain class of legisla-
tors, and their hackers, to apply specifics
for supposed Ills which even they cannot
diagnose, are aptly described by Mr.. Her
bert Spencer in his opening article on the
blunders, absurdities and sins of legisla-
tors. He says: -" \ druggists assistant
who, after listening to the description of
pains which he mistakes for those of collie,
but which are really caused by infamma-
ton of the cecoum, prcscribes sharp pur-
gatiye and kills the patient, Is found
guilty of manslaughter. He is not allowed
10 excuse himself on the ground that he
did not intend harm. but hoped for good.
The plea that he simply made a mistake in
in his diagnosis is not entertained. He IS
told that he had no right to risk disastrous
consequences by meddling in the matter
concerning which his knowledge Is made
guate The fact that he was ignorant how
great was his ignorance is not accepted by
the bar. 1t is tacitly assumed that the
experience common to all should have
taught him that even the skilled. and
much more the unskilled, are liable TO mis-
takes in the Identification of disorders and
IN their appropriate treatment and that,
having disregarded the warning derivabie
from common experience, he was answer
able for the consequences. We measure
the responsibility of Legislators for mis-
chiefs they do, in more lenicnt fashion.
In most cases, so far from thinking of them
rs deserving any kind Of punishment for
causing disasters by laws ignorantly
enacted, we scarcely think of them as de-
serving reprobation. 1t is held that com
mon experience should have taught the
druggists assistant, unframed as he is, not
to interfere but it is not held that com
mon experience should have taught the
legislator not to interfere till he has
trained himself"
In the California Legislature, should Mr.
Spencer examine into the matter, he would
find two distinct kinds of legislators. One
class is composed of men conscientiously
solicitous to do eyen-handed justice and ad-
minister high trusts with conservative
Yigor. These endeavor TO inform them
selves concerning subjects upon which they
are called to legislate. They act with the
mutual interests of the producing and com
mercial classes in view, and with that tenn
perance and moderation of spirit that testi-
fies to a desire to conserve the greatest
good of all the people. The other class not
only parallel the suggestions case of the
philosopher as to laundering and inexcus-
able Ignorance, but add to that manifest
contempt for ordinary commercial laws,
the processes of trade, and the factors of
progress in a State. They have not only
no adequate conception of the mutually of
interests between shipper and transporter,
producer and consumer, but are actuated

JUDGE COOLEY's VIEWS.

Judge T. NJ. Cooley, the eminent Doctor
of Constitutional Law and Political Sci
ence, and whose writings on corporations
have attracted the widest attention for
their thoroughness, their proflIndity and
their impartiality, has just contributed by
request Of the Rail'ay Rerier, an exhaus-
tive paper on Popular and Legal Views
of Traffic Pooling" In the course of that
paper, which we purpose referring to here
after in fuller consideration, the Judge
uses language which, while occurring in
the debate he carries on with judicial
impartiality on the subject of railroad pol
icy, applies with especial force to the whole
subject of legislation upon railroad ques-
lions, and commends itself to the respect of
every legislator. The Judge says that the
railroad problem, so far as it is involved in
wars Of rates between the roads, cannot
as yet be considered solved, is very mani
fest the railroad companies have ONLY
made an effort in the direction of solving
it. Common agreements, if they had the
encouragement and protection of the law,
would very probably supply it but for
that purpose legislation would seem to be
essential. But legislation would be mis-
chievous rather than beneficial unless it
was conceived in the spirit of statesmen.
and was made to express neither special
favor for, nor special hostility to, the in
terest it would regulate. The railroad in
terest of this country represents an enor-
nous aggregate of wealth, and an increas-
ing aggregate of corporate poverty; and it
has immense capabilities for good or evil
to the people. 1t cannot possibly be for
the interest Of any country that 50 large a
proportion of the invested capital should
be wasted or unremunerative, especially
when in that condition its necessary tend
ency is to favor dishonest management and
gambling speculation. On the other hand
1t is for the interest of the country that
the public shall receive, in as large de-
gree as shall be possible, the benefits which
were calculated upon in providing by law
for the building of the roads. Regulating
legislation should, therefore, be conceived
neither exclusively in the interest of rail
road companies nor in the spirit of hostiI-
ity to them. What the country needs is
that they shall be made useful; not that
they shall he crippled or bankrupted, or
made stock-iobbing convenience for their
managers. And, no doubt, when the whole
subject is carefully examined and wisely
considered, it will be found that the true
interest of the owners of railroad property
may be made to harmonic perfectly with
the true interests of the public, and that it
will be as wise for the State to encourage
and protect whatever in corporate arrange
ments is of beneficial tendency as it will to
suppress what is mischievous"

by the sentiment that moves the weak man
to swim with what he supposes to be the
popular tide They come to the discharge
of sacred trusts having prejudged the issues
to be presented. They confess 10 unworthy
prejudice, and unblushingly lend them
selves as plant tools to scheming politi-
clans and conscienceless demagogues, whose
sole aim is to shape legislation for selfish
ends. With bravery worthy a better
cause they engage in the impossible task of
thwarting natural laws and diverting the
immutable edicts of commerce and trade,
regardless of the injury such interference
invariably visits upon people.
1t would be interesting to know what
the social scientist thinks Of this latter
class; what smile he would draw in their
case, and what forecast he would make
concerning the people who tolerate them.
The time may come when the people OF
this country will ignore political haphaz-
zard systems OF choosing legislators, ana
make competency, intelligence and the
courage to do right, the myarying stand
ard for all who aspire to assume the grave
responsibilities of legislation. But the
thoughtful must be convinced that the
hour is yet far distant when this consumma-
ton will be fully attained. There is this
consolation, however, that with the recur-
renee of every legislative body in which
the element last referred to is prominent,
the people viii be brought nearer to the
necessity that must result, not only in Il
higher standard for the selection of repre-
sentatives, but in the application of the
pains and penalties for the mischief OF
