A New German Industry.

At Halle the skeleton Ike, fibrous

is now being converted into a substitute
for sponge. and is already being exported
in immense quantities to England and
other countries. The curious substance
is known as loofah. 1t is not only valu

DR. Calvin Cutter, the Psychologist,
who has made Il careful study Of this
matter says: The history of the
Roman empire IN the time of julius
Caesar shows that wheat as an article
Of food, combined with fresh outdoor
air life. is capable Of producing and
sustaining the highest type of physical
manhood tie world ever saw. The
empire was builtup and maintained by
soldiers whose main article of food was
wheat. There Is every probability that
the present prevalence OF late eruptlng
and easily decaying teeth Is due, for
one cause. TO the use OF flour white
as food. In $50 of the school children
IN Woburn, Lexington and Bedford,
Mass. in 1874. under u years OF age,
two-thirds had decaycd teeth. (See
Reports State Health Board of Massa-
chusctts. 1879 There Is every proba-
bility that grayness or premature bald
ness is partly due to tie present ex-
elusive and universal use Of white
flour" Then the doctor proceeds to
give scientific reasons why this is the
case.
Rev. ]. L. Clymcr, Auburn, y. J.,
thinks that one reason WHY children
fed chiefly on white bread are so often
hungry, and demand 50 much food be
tween meals, Is because their bodies are
insuflicien1y nourished. Their bones
and nerves do not receive the nitratcs
and phosphaics they need and are suf-
fcring from hunger Susanna W.

complicated square figures made up OF an
apparent tumble Of zigzags and crosses

the original Japanese syllabary called
hane. OF the former there are 10000 IN
all, of which perhaps 1900 constitute
the scholars vocabulary, and no fewer
than 4. 900 are in common daily use; Fhiie
the forty seven simple characters Of Kama
arc known to everybody. Therefore the

From the nature Of the problem several

II you arc democrat, attend the
primary election to-day, and vote for
the men Of vUr choice. and should
they not get the necessary number
Of votes to declare them the nomi-
nces Of the party, why, thea support
those so nominated by your brothe
democrats. The majority rules; the
strongest men get the plums. Con-
ventions and primaries are not insti-
tuted for the purpose of securing Of
fees for every mar that seeks Office,
but simply to determine their rela-
tive strength. The struggle with
the opposition party will take place
later ON, when the question Of 'ad-
herence to party principles may be
considered by each voter for himself.
But, as the democratic party has
never been fruitful of mugwumpery
in the past, it is not likely to engage
in that sort of monkey business to
any considerable extent Just now,
when the indications for u general
sweep all along the democratic lines
are so bright and promising.

the practical man of affairs, Grover
Cleveland, to inspire their trust
the old-scbool politicians, who hold
a sentiment dearer than life,

in current political affairs, because of
the shifting of position, and the pan
dering to popular pet theories, to

underlying stratas of silurlan bed.

ing classes, who have claimed that
otlice.holding is a privilege granted
solely to gentlemen of the profess

welfare is to see that they are able
to go to the polls and vote for them
at every recurring election, can find
their ideal candidate in j. p. Eagle,
who is a practical farmer, and who
has laborcd on the farm from early
boyhood to mi'ldle age. In him
