The Musket as a Social Force.

All life is battling-all society con-
f1ict of forces. Little worth having is
ever got without being wrung from the
teeth of opposition. Particularly is this
true of the ordinary possession of man
hood. Every privilege and immunity
which we enjoy to-day, without more
thought than we enjoy the sunshine
and the summer air, has been extorted
most frequently through bloodshed-
from those who would fain withhold it.
The student of history reading the Bill
of Rights sees in every clause the result
OF some successful war fought to wiring
a concession of that particular principle
from the dominant class. The musket
has steadily led the way and supported
every extension of the boundaries of
freedom. Without so irresistible wea-
pom within reach of every mans hand,
the world would still be PROSTATE under
the hoofs OF an equestrian aristocracy,
whose despotism would only be temper
ed by the tyranny of kingcraft.
Artillery is monarchic, cavalry aristo-
cratic, and infantry democratic. Armor
and the horse brought about the rule of
the few over the many; cannon helped
make one man ruler over all; while the
musket is the agent of the popular will
| and the pioneer of universal suffrage
"All free government, says an emf
nent philosopher, depends upon the
power of the majority to whip the min
ority. The fundamental principle of
democracy is that the wishes of one
thousand men shall prevail over those
of nine hundred men, and the musket
gives the thousand men the physical
power to enforce their will upon nine
hundred men.-John McEiroy, IN Pop
ular Science Monthly for February.

From Major to General.

Last Fall, while drummer from a
New York house was opening a new
route in Arkansas, he took pains to let
everybody know that he was major
Smith" This little scheme worked
pretty well to secure the best room in
several village hotels, and to have his
opinion sought for on the weather, the
European situation, ETC., but there was
snag waiting for him fifty miles fur
Their on. He finally struck Eotal where
his room was in the garnet, an his bed
a lonesome object to behold. He held
the tallow candle above his head and
made an examination of the surround
ings, and then walked down stairs and
Indignantly demanded of the landlord:
''Sir, do you suppose that will ac-
cept of any such quarters as those?"
Sorry, Major, very sorry; but it's the
very best that can do"
''But you must have better roomsP"
ooh, certainly; but 90 according to
rank, the General gets the best, the
Colonies come next, and 1 stow the
Majors away in the garnet. It's all
your own fault, Sir"
Next day the drummer promoted him.
self to General, and he hung to the title
until he left the State.-Hotel Gazette.

Trustworthy Information.

Another lively child has been heard
from. This one is dangerous, however.
She has upset the peace of household.
She has estranged her father and
mother She has ruined the reputation
of most estimable young school teach
er, and she will probably never know
anything about it. 1t was in school.
The school teacher, wishing to test the
intelligence of her little pupils, asked
them: How many of you know my
name is DaisyP"
They were silent. Perhaps their in
tuition told them that to acknowledge
the fact would be to exhibit undue ia
miliarity. AT last one little thing held
up her hand. 81 know your names

Having made this bold statement, she
felt she must save herself by an explain
alton. Il know your names Daisy,

Kamr Corn.

About eight years ago the Georgia
State Agricultural Department received
from Egypt a collection of African seeds,
which were distributed among Georgia
farmers. Included in the lot were seeds
of the Kaffir corn, so called because it is
the principal food of the Kaffirs of South
Africa. A little of this has been cult
waited every year by DR.. j. H. Watkins,
of Campbell County, who found it to be
excellent for forage. This year he plant
ed an acre of it on the poorest land he
had, which would not have yielded three
bushels of wheat. Without any fertilizer,
however, the Kaffir corn yielded thirteen
bushels. He had some of it ground into
flour and made into bread. The flour
was fine and had rich, creamy color.
1t was made into biscuit, egg-bread, and
cakes, and in each form it proved deli
cious. Except in color, it was impos-
sible to distinguish it from the finest
Ohio Valley flour. Specimens of the
bread and cake distributed at the Depart
ment of Agriculture excited surprise by
their excellence. The cultivation of
Kaffir corn is likely to become large in
Georgia.

One day last week there were three
vacant chairs in one of the fourth
grade classes of a large school in this
city. 1t was discovered that the absen-
tees had been playing truant Two of
them succumbed to evidence, and, plead
ing guilty, met with due punishment
from the official rattan. But the third
stoutly maintained that he had acted by
his mothers permission. The mother
was sent for and compelled to implicate
her darling in falsehood. Turning to
that young reprobate, she said in a
tone of fearful demonstration: How
could you ay,such a thing? The idea
of my telling you to run away from
school!'' Yes, mamma, you did.
Don't you remember? | asked you if 1
couldn't play hockey with two other
boys, and you said yes, 1 might, if l
wouldn't hurt myself" And so she
had, as she was obliged to confess
She had innocently taken playing

Some Aches and Pains.

Back-ache is often constant COM
plant with over-worked and delicate
people. They get little pity for it. 1t
seems almost mockery to say, Re
move the cause;'' but this should be
done as much as possible and an easy
position studied while at work. Steel,
or steel with quinine, will often do
good, and the strength should be kept
well up.
As, however, backache < often con-
nected with internal complaints, which
may eventually prove intractable or in
durable, whenever it occurs for any
length of time medical man should be
consulted
Pain OF all kinds is greatly relieved
by the use of the hot bath. This is a
hint which should not be forgotten.
Head-aches.-Th are so many diff
ferent kinds that can not spare space
to say much about them. Rest, aperi-
ents, absence for time from food. and
afterward mild does of quinine, will be
found beneficial. But those who are
much subject to them must take the
neglect plenty of wholesome, happy ex-
ercise in open air. Those who sit much
during the day should be careful to hold
the body as erect as possible.
Cold water applied frequently TO the
head does good in fullness of the head.
The last often proceeds from disorder
ed stomach and liver The latter nay
be congested, and, if only transiently so,
one or two anti-bilious pills will remove
it. The stomach and liver sympathize
very much with each other When the
latter is out of order, the former will be
acid.
Acidity of the stomach is complaint
with many | shall treat of it, / trust,
at future day Let me only here
warn those who suffer from it not to
trust too much to antacids, which al
ways make matters worse in the long
| run.
Slight colds and coughs should never
be neglected. Unless one actually calls
in medical assistance, probably it is
better to trust TO dietetic treatment, with
rest and warmth, than to purchase
cough mixtures from the shops, which
may or may moi be unskillfully prepared.
The worst of these is that they so often
contain such quantity of opiates that,
even when they do give relief, they
leave want of appetite, constipation and
general inaptitude for duty, for days to
come
Chlorodyne is often taken for colds
and coughs. 1t is a dangerous remedy,
in that weak-minded people are apt to
take doses of it SO often that it becomes
a habit, and nothing could be more dan
gerous. 1t leads eventually to chronic
| ill-health, aud is sure to shorten life if
persisted in.
A sprain is apt to be neglected. Rest
and soothing applications, or even cold
water, will be sufficient to bring mat
tiers straight very soon; but remember,
| many a one has become a cripple for
life from neglecting sprained foot or
| ankle.-CasseWs Family Magazine for
| FebraLarg

"Whipping up Nature"

There is whipping up of tired ma
ture going on that ought to come under
the notice of some society for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals. The lash
is being applied in this way, to take a
common instance, in your very house.
Your husband did not sleep any last
night, thinking of his business entang-
lements. You prepare him two cups of
strong black coffee, which he pours
down for breakfast, unable to eat any,
thing with it. No doubt while the
stimulus lasts he is carried through an
immense amount of work in a savage
manner. 1t passes for pure grit, by the
on-lookers. Perhaps it may be; but
there is another kind of grit that we
like quite as ell,-the patient. steady
following ones conscience. And your
doses of strong tea that enable you to
get through the house cleaning, or the
fall sewing, is another whip,-long and
cruel. The society should have its hands
on you both instanter.-Margaret Sid
neg, in Good Housekeeping.

The Cofee-Pot Holder is the name of

Greece from an engraving made by our
special artist after a carte-de-viste sent

King Georges pictured lineaments the
dead spirit of Billy Divine, who ran the

Mexico.

There is little Joubt that if the beauty
and grandeur of nature are sought by
the traveller, the means of enjoyment
that he had not suspected are open to
him. So constant and so great are the
achievements of enterprise that they are
almost unobserved by US. Thus a re-
cent address of Colonel Nelson, lately
Minister in Mexico. recalls the immense
changes in the condition of that country
and the facility of reaching it. You
may take the train in New York and
roll steadily along. and in much less
time than our fathers devoted to the
journey from Massachusetts to Virgins,
yoC may reach. undisturbed, and in per-
feet comfort, another zone and civiliza-
ton, another fauna and flora, new
world. "It is now easy for US" says
this modern Marco Polo, Ito leave our
homes in Indiana in a palace-car, and
reach the city of Mexico within week,
and also to visit in the same manner
eight or ten of the most interesting cit
les of the republic. y
If it is magnificent scenery that you
seek, here at hand. with no intervening
ocean, no distant pilgrimage to Alpine
valleys or Norwegian fiords, is the rail-
way from Vera Cruz, two hundred and
sixty miles, to the city of Mexico-a
marvellous feat of scientific skill, cross
ing the mountains at a height of $500
feet, and bearing you through every
climate, amid unimaginable luxuriance
and brilliancy of vegetation, changing
into temperate hues of harder growths,
with awful mountain abysses between,
and sncw-clad peaks beyond against the
deep blue sky. This is the land which
has seemed to us so long politically, re-
ligiously, and socially hopeless, ruined
at the very outset by the worst form Of
human degradation, the old Spanish
oppression. But as you are lifted over
the mountains, and swept along the
teeming valleys and plains with Sc
curity, comfort, and speed which are
themselves proofs of a radical change
in the land, which within the century
has doubled its population while it has
lost two-thirds Of its territory, it is
pleasant to hear from Mr.. Nelson, who
is our authority, that Mexico will now
remain a republic, that the injurious
clerical influence is gone forever, that
the political capacity Of the people has
been educated to the point of successful
control of the situation, and that there
is no disturbing question threatening
the country.
Mexico was never before shown in a
light so rosy. The country of mixed
races, of ignorance and superstition, of
revolutions and of earthquakes, appears
in this reviving view to promise to be
indeed a sister republic, and of this
happy hope the railway seems to be the
spring. These parallel lines of iron and
of steel have worked many miracles,
of which the United States are the
witness. But the wonder of wonders,
the greatest triumph of the railroad,
will be the regeneration of Mexico

Monitors.

The characteristic difference between
the American type and the English type
of sea-going Monitors may be stated in
a single sentence, viz, the elevation in
the English ship of the turret breast
work dec to a height OF eleven or
twelve feet above the seas surface, and
the raising Of IL appe. deck generally,
or of a considerable part of it, to at
least that height, by means of lightly
built superstructures. Over these again,
and many feet above them, are built
bridges and hurricane decks, from
which the ships may be commanded in
all weathers. Lofty as these ships are
by comparison with American Monitors,
it is only gradually that they have ac-
quired the confidence of the naval serv-
ice, so freely do the waves sweep over
their weather decks when driven, even
in moderate weather, against head seas.
