T GOOD BLOOD.

OF GOOD BLOOD.
Pittsburgh Times tRep)
Hdgper's Weekly says " "Harrison's per
sonality is not familiar to the country"
We think we can say truthfully that.Ilar
rison's personality is as widely known as
Lincoln's was. Few names are better or
more favorably known than that of the
Harrisons If there is anything in de-
scent, anything in blood, no man should
stand in higher favor The Harrisons
were always a good race of men. Each
generation, starting with the Harrison
who signed the Declaration of lndepend-
ence. has done its share toward the wei
fare of the Republic. Who can say more !?
If there is anything in blood, the Harri-
sons would be able to stand the closest
scrutiny alongside the ClevelandS down
to the fact that Ben Harrison was in ac-
tive and honorable service, while Grover
Cleveland was represented by substitute
in the war for the Republic.

A CLEAN NAN.

We believe that Colonel Harrison is a
gentleman whose private record is clean,
and as for his public record, he has been
a Republican, honest in his convictions of
right and wrong, and it is with his record
as politician that we have to deal. He
is highly respected in his own State, and
is an able lawyer He is an honest man,
a good citizen and neighbOr.
A NEIGHBOR'S ESTIMATE OF MIR. MORTON
New York Herald DEM
Mr.. Morton is too well and favOrably
known to New Workers to need many
words from us. He is a wealthy banker,
who entered political life when he was
past 50. and has made a remarkably sue
cessful career. He has proved himself an
active. useful and intelligent Representa-
tive in Congress, was prominent enough
in the party'S councils to be offered the
Vice Presidency in 1880 and a Cabinet
place in 1881, and was for some years an
excellent and popular Minister to France.
Like his chief, he is high prOtectionist,
and thus in harmony with the spirit of
his party If he were elected. he would
preside with dignity and intelligence over
the Senate.

Bringing Up the Baby.

Every mother has her own ideas as
to how to bring up her babies Alright.
and it is matter on which few agree.
But We otter think that some mothers
make mistake in not treating their
little ones as if they were reasoning
creatures. Notice how pleased tiny
little tots are when given some re-
sponsibility. As soon as they begin to
toddle, if taught Alright. they like to
help mother by picking up or carry
ing some trifle for her or doing any
similar act. Then is the time to be-
gin training them to be real helpers.
OF course, it often seems a real bother.
for one may do things quicker without
this hindering assistance. But it is
part of the child's education. Similar
ly, babyhood Is none too early to be-
gin teaching politeness, and the proper
way is to be as polite to the baby as to
any one else. People sometimes think
that a child does not feel discourtesy-
We hold a contrary opinion Some
little sights that were not meant az
such, offered in our extreme child
hood, are remembered to this day, and
all sensitive children suffer in the
same way.-Eniiy Louise Taplen.

just Indignation.

A woman in Nebraska, so says an ex-
change, refused to give in list of her
property to German assessor. When
called before the commissioners, she
declared she would not pay unless COM
PEELED, and protested against a foreigner,
who could vote, being sent t. assess a
native-born American who could have
no voice in declaring how the money
taken from her in taxes should be spent.
The prejudice against foreigners, as
foreigners, is foolish and unjust but
our naturalization laws are now SO lax
that men are admitted to vote long be-
fore they have become socially and in
tellectually acclimated. 1t adds to the
humiliation of Acknowledgement when
an American woman sees such men set
to rule over her. The feeling of the
Nebraska lady was very natural.

THE HUMAN TEETH.

Something About the Deseneracy In the
Development of the Jaw.
The law of retardatiOn exhibits it
self in the teeth OF the higher races of
mankind in highly convenient man.
ner. The greatly-developed brain re-
qui-es all the available room in the
skull; there is no space left for the at
tachment of muscles for powerful
Jaw. Cooked food also causes a de-
generacy in the development of the
jaw. There is constantly no room left
for either the wisdOm-teeth or the
second upper incisors; the wisdom
teeth are retarded, often cause great
pain and decay early. The second in
cisors appear in startling and unex-
pected places. and often Tin America
especially do not cut the gum at all.
Prof. Cope says that American dep-
fists have observed that the third
molar teeth (wisdom-teeth) are in ma
tives of the United States very liable
to imperfect growth or suppression,
and to a degree entirely unknown
among savage or even many civilized
races" The same suppression has been
observed in the outer pair of superior
incisors. This is owing not only to a
reduction in the size of the arches of
the jaws, but to SUCCESSFULLY prolonged
delay in the appearance of the teeth.
In the same way men, and the man
like apes, have fewer teeth than the
lower monkeys, and these again fewer
than the insectivorous mammals to
which they are most nearly allied.
When this difference in dentition has
been established. civilized man may
claim to place himself in new spe-
cies. apart from low savages as well as
from high apes.-Mrs. Alice Bodiagton,

Hints on Fattening Hogs.

The process of converting grain
into pork by means of u machine called
hog is by no means q difficult one, pro-
vided the machine is kept In running
order. 1t is folly to suppose and ex-
pect that hog can convert any and
all kinds of food into pork. 1t is nee
essary that. if we want pork, We must
feed those foods that will produce flesh
and fat. When hogs arrive at the
proper age for fattening see that every
one is in healthy condition and is
thriving. The system must be in per-
feet order that food may not be wasted.
Don't throw in q wagOn-load of corn,
reminding your hogs that that is all
they will get for a week, but gradually
and Systematically work them up to
full feed" Do not change the diet
too suddenly, and especially use care
in changing from green to solid food.
Adopt regular hours for feeding. and
the animals will soon learn to expect
it about that time every day. With
old hogs food twice a day is often
enough. but with young shoats would
advise feeding three times a day. as
by only feeding twice they overload
their stomachs. The food should al
ways be given in a clean. wholesome
condition. and never allowed to sour.
The barrels or watts in which food is
mixed should be cleaned after each
feeding, and all surplus food removed.

There Is NO more common cause OF
troubles in families than the Vexeo
money question. Young women VINO
have been earning good salaries marry.
and give up their opportunities OF
securing an income OF their own. In
order to make home and take care OF
it. They have been accustomed to
draw their money with their own hands
and plan how to use it. But now it Is
all different. No money comes into
their hands as their own; they have to
ask some one else for every cent they
require to meet their personal wants
And however dear that one may be. no
two people ever see things just alike.
and this necessity sooner or 'ater be-
comes exceedingly irksome, not to say
uncomfortable. From this very thing
arise probable most of the differences
and heart-burnings OF welded life.
The English father of wealth or mod
crate means demands that the sutton for
his daughters hand shall settle upon
her some property from which she can
derive an income for her personal
needs, that she may not be a genteel
beggar in her husbands house. How
long before American fathers will take
the same ground, and protect their
daughters from-not the greatest
trouble in the world, though it may
lead to it-but from the most continual
and annoying and irritating situation a
woman can be placed in? And you.
husbands, who love your wives. but are
thoughtless about this matter, will gain
for yourselves more than you think, if
you take pains to set it right by put
ting something into their hands to meet
their own wants. Every wife earns it;
then why should she be obliged to get
it five cents at a time. and ask for it in
to the bargain? If you have no prop
crty which you can divide in that way,
at least arrange that she shall have the
chicken or butter money, or share of
the weeks wages after paying for food
and clothing. See that she has some
thing, if it is only twenty-five cents a
week, that she can use just as she
pleases. You don't know how it will
increase her own self-respect and her
love for you. Even looking at it
selfishly, you will find that it will pay;
and looking at il cOnscientiOusly. il is
your duty.-Minneapolis Housckcsper.
