She Was A Bony.

John Henry, the masher, stood on the
corner with one of his kind waiting for q
girl to come along whom he might crush
At last thin young woman from the ru.
raj districts came by, and John Henry
thought he had found her. As she
passed he said something about her. be
ing bony, hut he went after her, ano
catching up he said:
"Good afternoon, Miss"
''Good afternoon" she replied, sizing
him up as if she was going to put q
price on him.
'Ahem, Miss, ahem, Lab" he hest
tated.
.sWen she continued coolly, .why
don't you bark!"
Ozark! barkl I don't quite under

''Oh, you don't? Well, I might have
known better than to have given you
credit for SO much intelligence; but in
our country puppy that has had any
advantages of training always barks
when it finds bone"
Since that date John Henry is a
changed man.

Science and the Government.


Frank Wigglesworth Clarke notes the
growing dependence upon scientific
methods as noteworthy feature of mod
ern civilization, and finds In our national
administration an amazing Development
in certain lines of scientific industry.
Every executive department either has
scientific experts connected with it, or
employ such experts at times to conduct
its Investigations. There is a considera-
BILE demand for science in the defensive
branches Of the public service, such as
the army and navy. The weather ser
vice uses the electric light to great ad-
vantage. The department of agriculture
applies scientific research to the assist
ance of great industries. The mint and
assay Offices has much to do with chem
istry. The geological surveys develope
more fully the principles Of geologic
science, and from an economic point of
view investigate our mineral resources.
The patent Office reveals the fact that the
government has beetme the arbiter in
doubtful questions, of scientific priority.
Scientific work is frequently carried on
at government expense, which aims at
the discovery Of truth for its own sake,

why Jews Live 80 Long.

The Ne1c England Medical Monthly
comments very favorably on the proverb-
ial long and healthful lives of the Jews.
DR.. Picard holds that this superiority is
due to their stringent health laws. The
Mosaic, like the older Egyptian code, is
very stringent regarding the eating of
flesh and other articles of food. Of the
animals examined, large proportion are
always condemned as unfit for food.
People who eat meat indiscriminately are
very prone to disorders of the blood and
Of the kidneys, for meat is composed of
nitrogen, which the kidneys have to re-
move from the blood, and Of course they
cannot do this successfully except by the
aid or Warmers safe cure, the best kidney
strengthener, unless it is temporarily
parkken of and only the very best meat
is used. Jews also use alcoholic liquors
very sparingly and thus keep up good d.
gestion, and then again they are a hoi-
day loving and Sabbath-observing class.

HOUSE.

In the house on Tuesday Januray 18th,
Mr.. Caldwell, of Tennessee, from the COM
mittee on laws regulating the election of
president and vice president, reported back
without amendment Hoar's presidential
succession bill, which was placed on the
calendar. The house then went into COM
mittee of the whole on the silver bill. After
which an adjournment was taken.
In the house on Wednesday, January 18th:
Curtin, of Pennsylvania, Immediately upon
being recognized by the speaker, arose and
asked that he be excused from duty as chair
man of the committee on banking and cur
rency. He stated that, upon the advice of
friends and many journals of the country,
he would offer no reason for the step. Mr.
Curtin was excused. Adjourned.
In the House on January 18th, the commit
- on Judiciary, called up the bill amending
6eG J. 900 of the revised statutes, so as to
psovide that final judgments against the
United States rendered by the court of

The presidential succession bill was next
taken up. 1t was discussed to considerable
length. Mr. Peters, of Kansas, regarded the
pending measure as unconstitutional and
tmpolitsc; but for these faults it was pretty
fair ball. He asserted that congress had no
pgver to enact law which
violated the intent of the con-
1lteution, and which in effect declared

S. W. Talmadge, of Milwaukee, gives the
associated press the following information
in relation to the condition of the winter
wheat planted in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois,
Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas and Maryland
w. A. Chamberlain, secretary of the Ohio
state board of agriculture says: sour wheat
was finely covered with snow before the
severe cold weather came, and the plant went
into winter in good condition" Mr.. Cham
berlain also states that from his observations
he believes Prof. Dodge has overestimated
the total yield of the United States for 1856,
fully 30,OOO, 600 to 40, 00O, 900 bushels. Hon. H.
A. Conant, secretary of state of Michigan,
says; 81 do not think the wheat crop in this
state has suffered any material injury. We
had general break up followed by severe
freeze, but previous to this there was light
fall of snow, which has doubtless served as
partial protection to the wheat plant" s.
ID. Fisher, of Springfield, ILL.,, says: 81 have
as yet heard no complaints. The plant is
protected more or less by snow, which fell
to the depth of five or six inches before the
late severe cold weather, but there was con-
siderable wind and there must be consider
able area but.thinly protected. j. w. San
born, secretary of the state board of agri-
culture, of Missouri, reports the condition
of wheat very favorable, and says the cold
weather has done no material injury to the
plant. William Sims, secretary of the state
board of agriculture of Kansas, says there
has been no injury to the wheat crop by the
late cold weather.

KANSAS NEWS NOTES.

A correspondent writes the Hutchinson
Nesos as follows: Some one asked if
grating Russian apple roots improves
the tree. I say no! So says Prof Budd,
of Iowa. There is not a nurseryman in
the state that gratis on Russian apple
stock, but it seems that every vampire of
the nursery trade has some plausible
story to tell their victims. It may be
cherry on its own roots, plum on its own
roots, or it may be hybridizing by new
process. If the farmers will pay fifty
cents for good paper there would
be no use of being gulled SO easily.
But the farmers desire to have good fruit
gets away with his better judgment. But
what are they to do when home nursery
men claim that Lombardy poplar is
the tree to plant for wind break, and that
no evergreen will grow here but the cedar
when there are hundreds of others grow
ing and making better growth than the
cedar? Some of our home nurseries who
ship the largest part of their stock from
foreign nurseries and sell them for "home
grown lie, for there is not nurseryman
in the United States that grows Tie
stock he sells.
Junction City Union: A large num-
Der of the prosperous towns of Kansas
are organizing boards of trade, in order
that there may be some head or organiza-
ton to take hold ofmatters of public i'm
portance. This is a wise move. A board
of trade composed of the enterprising
business men and capitalists of town or
city, who work in harmony for the in
terest of their community can accomplish
much good. Junction City has Or
ganized one.
Leavenworth Standard: The old
vodoo doctor, Lemons, it is said. is 60
ing crazy. Lemons has the colored
people of this city in perfect terror of his
tricks, and they believe he is vertically
possessed of Satan. Lemons has been
in Leavenworth for years and many mean
tricks are set down to his credit. One
of his many features was driving devils
from his patients and the most trivial
complaint was sufficient to insure ones
having crop of full grown devils.
