Not ParlOr Girls.
On the Humboldt road there resides

On the Humboldt road there resides
a family consisting of father. mother,
and two daughters. They live on a
small farm on which is raised poultry,
fruit, and vegetables. The father is
old and infirm, and unable to perform
the work necessary to cultivate the
land. But his daughters. who are
healthy and muscular young ladies,
are equal to the task of looking out
for the place, and are not afraid of soil
ing their hands by the work necessary
to keep things running. They culti-
vate the garden, gather fruit. and look
after the chickens. They are also ex-
cellent shots with rifle, and many a
deer has been brought down by them
to replenish the family larder. A gen.
tleman who passed their home last
evening informs us that he observed
the sisters travelling along the road, q
rifle on the shoulder of each, on the
way to deer lick in the neighborhood.
where they would remain during the
night, watching for shot at the timid
creatures that would come to slake
their thirst. He also stated that he
would wager that the girls succeeded
in killing one or more of the creatures
that came within range Of their rifles,
as their eyes are sharp and their nerves
steady. These are no parlor girls. but
nevertheless are well educated, bright,
and pretty, and any young man whose
thoughts turn in the direction OF mat
rimony should call and inspect before
purchasing elsewhere. We will fur

Chiidren's Teeth.

The ignorance of many a mother do
termines that her children shall 60
through life with poor and constantly
poorer teeth. Not half the mothers OF
children, who are intelligent in other
directions. know that the "six-year
molar" comes TO stay, and that, if it IS
allowed to decay, the child loses a
tooth he needs and ought to have.
Care should be taken of the first baby
teeth, even. A dentist of good stand
ing says that a very smooth bit of wool
dipped into myrrh will remove dis
coloration and tartar from the baby's
teeth without injury to the gum. and
with benefit to the teeth. Nothing is
more common than to see little boys
and girls whose first teeth have decayed
and of whose use they are deprived be-
fore the second teeth are nearly ready
to appear. Some people attribute this
to the constant munching of candy.
particles of sugar and candy being left
upon or between the teeth. but it is
true also that particles of food will act
in much the same way, perfect cleanli-
ness should be observed. The children
should be fed with reference to their
teeth. The corn-bread upon which the
negro depends may well be given TO
our children. The good effects of form
ing the habit in early childhood of car
ing for the teeth will bs felt at three
score and ten.

Indian corn and its products to the re-
motest countries Of the world. And we
ought to have Amercan-built ships, owned
BY Americans, and commanded by Yankee

transport our great, golden, health-giving
product to all ports, on all seas. Let us
have q merchant navy If we can have no

American barques, loaded with American

chant marine" is probably something in
the right direction, and our representatives
should give prompt personal attention to
it. Gen. Keifer lives in corn country,

Iron Rotting Away.

For fourteen years, says an Indian
apolis telegram to the New York Times,
State Geologist Collett has been exper-
imenting upon theory that the best
Of iron, when subjected to continuous
strain. would undergo changes in its
structure which would, after 4 time,
render its use dangerous, and that these
structural changes were the eXplana-
ton of many otherwise ineXplicable ac-
cidents, particularly to railway bridges.
He has lately undertaken systematic
investigation. which has resulted in a
confirmation of his theory. For exper-
iment, he took from the Wabash dam,
at Delphi, a number of bolts and spikes,
which were. when the dam was con-
structed. of the best quality of MALE
able bar iron. as shown by the batter
ing of the head when they were put in
to the structure. OF these bolts and
spikes he found that 20 per cent. of the
whole number were as weak as cast
iron, while 80 per cent of those that
were near the bottom of the dam were
worthless; yet, of those which were
rotten. the tips were inserted in i'm
movable rocks were tibrous and
strong. When broken they showed
polished ends to the connecting tibres,
indicating that the continued vibrations
of many years had polished and round
ed the points of tibrous structure. A
similar effect is found in 1.-The partings"
or "horsebacks~ in coal mines, which
become polished and striated by the
continuous quiver and motion of the
crust of the earth. DR.. Collett says
that all car axles, after reasonable
run, become crystallized two-thirds of
the length from the hub and one-third
from the outside extremity, rendering
them worthless. On one Indiana rail-
road bridge he found that the bottom
parts Of the vertical strain pieces were
crystallized for from two to four feet in
length, and. as a precaution against
what would inevitably have caused q
great catastrophe, they were replaced.
The matter is of great interest to rail-
ways. and the specimens which DR..
Collett has collected in his experiments
are to be sent to the Stevens Institute
of Technology, where an investigation
of the subject has been in progress for
several years by scientists connected
with the institute.

From Korti to Metemneh the Nile makes
. great bend, which has the general form
of three sides Of a square. The cut
across this bend that General Stewart was
ordered to make through the desert from
Korti to Metemneh forms the fourth side
of the square. This cross-cut Stewart

1t was believed that the Mahdi would wait
and give him battle on his arrival at
Metemneh, to prevent him from forming

posed to be at that point. But the Mahdi

General James s. Robinson. Ohio sec
retary Of state, is unpleasantly gossiped
about. When he was elected secretary he
was q member Of congress. 1t is said
that on the 10th inst he obtained leave Of
absence from the house till the following
10th. On the 18th he Was sworn in as
secretary at Columbus. and assumed the
duties of that Office He has never been
back to the house, whose leave he is over
staying. But it is said that his name is
carried on the rolls for salary as congress-
man, and that Controller Lawrence has
given him the opinion that there is moth
ing in the constitution or laws to prevent
him from holding both Offices and draw
ing the pay for both. We trust that this
is all lie in regard to Robinson, as also
in regard to Lawrence. Mr. Robinson
should have resigned on the 10th, instead
of taking a leave Of absence; and Mr..
Lawrence, If his counsel was asked, should
have SO advised him.

Lincoln and His Assassin.

Manager John Elsller, of the opera
house, says the Pittsburg, Pa. ChrOni-
Gle, probably knew John Wilkes Booth
as well as any man now living. He was
not only intimately associated with him
in theatrical affairs, but was also his
partner in oil speculations. Here are
a dozen letters from Booth" said Mr..
Ellsler this morning. They are in re-
gard to our oil transactions. We oper-
ated on the bank of the Allegheny
river opposite Franklin, and Booth was
there a great deal. In 1864 he wrote to
me to come to Franklin. and | Joined
him in July. We were there until he

Lincoln well and always spoke kindly

whose word was his bond. He would
sacrifice everything and 90 through
fire and water to keep a pledge. have
always thought that he took to drink
ing. and while in his cups, joined some
society or went into some plot; that
lots were cast to decide who should
carry out the plans, and that Booth
was the man to whose hand fell the as
sassination of President Lincoln. His
regard for his promise led him to carry
out the plot, and he would have done
it ii he were deputed to kill his own
father. About two weeks before the
assassination an eastern company offer
ed S75, 600 for the property owned by
Booth and myself. l wrote and tele-
graphed to him a great many times,
but got no answer. He was in Wash
ington, but must have been so engaged
in theplot that he did not think OF any

Evarts was as delighted over his election
to the senate as any man in New York, of
course; but the delightful feature of it was
that he did not attempt to disguise his sat
isfsction under the usual high-statesmanly
dignity of pretending that he had not
wanted it but that his friends had thrust it
on him. He had said beforehand that he
wanted it, and said it man-iashion; and
when he got it, msr-iashion, he was in
genuous enough to say openly that he was
very much gratifed. This is the good old
simplicity.

CORN.

Maize, or Indian corn, is peculiarly an
American product. In Italy only, outside
of the United States, is it cultivated to
any great extent: and it is rather remark
able fact that American corn can be trans
ported to Genoa and sold at lower price
than Italian corn can be bought for, at the
same port That is to say, Italy, one OF
the best agricultural regions OF Europe,
and the only msize-growing country across
the water, cannot supply its own demand.
The fact that corn as food product is
adapted to the needs Of the people Of all
portions Of the globe, should be.considered
in this connection. The several varieties
of food material made from corn are not
simply substantial, but wholesome, and, II
they are adapted to the people Of Italy,
the land Of perpetual sunshine, they are
certainly quite as much adapted to the
people Of France, Germany, and England,
and even still better adapted to the inhabi-
tants Of the frozen north.
The products Of corn make not only
wholesome and palstable food, but cheap
food. Their consumption usually pro-
notes health and strength. In our own
country the classes of people who confne
themselves to pork and corn food, in the
form Of hominy or hce-cakes, are those
who seldom require the services of ply
sician.
Corn was the great product of our
country for the season of 1884, exceeding
in bulk and weight any other food pro-
duct; and, as the food materials produced
from corn are adapted to the needs Of all
the people of the world, and wholesome
for people in all climates, and as America
has the monopoly of the prodact, it would
seem that these facts ought to reach the
able minds Of the gentlemen Of congress,
sent to Washington BY the people to rep
resent them and to promote the material
as well as the political interests Of the
country. That these gentlemen have been
neglectful of the liquid products of corn
We do not undertake to charge or to insin-
uate. Indeed, We may fully acquit con:
gress Of omitting any effort to protect
the interests of the producers of the
distilled spirits of corn. But it seems
to US that we ought to have some
attention paid to pushing our
chief agricultural products into the mar
kets Of the world. The expectation of
maize ought to be fostered and encour-
aged BY the United-States government
As wheat is produced in England, Rus
sia, India, and Australia, as we'll as in
America, We have in it no monopoly.
But as corn is or might be used in all
these countries as an article of cheap
food for the masses, and a. it is produced
only in America, it would be really states
manlike in our representatives to devise
means Of recommending and introdacing
