OUR RURAL TOPICS.
Some Practical Suggestions for Our
Agricultural Readers
SPECIAL NOTICE To OUR READERS.

large proportion of our readers are farm
ers, and we desire to make the Agricultural De-
partment Of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE Of the
highest practical interest to all farmers We
include in this class farmers wives and daugh-
tiers. and their special pursuits OF flower cul-
turc, small-fruits poultry raising. etc. Now.
what We want is for every farmer, farmers
wife or daughter. who thinks he or she has any
hint or information which will be of interest
to others engaged in like business, to send US
postal-card, giving this in the most con-
densed form. We say pOstalcard, because a
great deal of information can be condensed on
pOstal-card, and if the communications can
be so compressed, we can find room for all that
may be sent US, and the Department will be
made of the greatest interest and value, and
become the mediQm for a general interchange
OF ideas among the farmers all over the
country.
Let all our readers think of this and each
determine to write US a postal giving what he
thinks other farmers would like TO know.
This will include ideas as to the best methods
in all branches Of farming, the prices and
quality Of land in the writer's neighborhood,
crop prospects, success with various products,
etc, etc. II all will do this THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE will become the great medium for
interchange Of ideas among our progressive
farmers, and will contribute enormously to the
advancement Of agricultural knowledge.
We want at least one postal from every
farmer. farmers wife and daughter. giving the
idea that is in his or her mind that he or she
thinks most important for Others TO know.

IL years when our lesson opens Meanwhile
Shalmanesor besieged Samaria and carried of
the ten tribes. Ten years later Sennacherib
threatened HeZekiah. He called the prophet
Isaiah 20 his aid and received assurances from
God OF safety. But Rabshakeh, who repre-
sent0d Sennacherib, assumed still more threat
eninR attitude. and filled the mind Of HeZekiah
with terrible appTehensiOns. The fate Of the
Kingdom of Israel was fresh in his thought
cipled. 1t had been successful in many a con-
Guest and might well cause Hezekiah much
distress.

Walker Sc Blackwell were given rer-
mission to repair the roof ofsstheir build
ing, which was damaged by fire a short

permit was also granted the Bower

A Physical Peculiarly That Handicaps
Woman In tho Race With Man.

A Physical Popularity That Handbags
Woman In tho Race With Man.
The difference Of weight in the brains
of men and women has long been a
source of deep interest to all who dis
course of equality and rights, says the
Medical Record, of New York. Those
extra ounces remain more or less
stumbling block to the un,rary. Meta
physical justice refuses to regard them
other than iniquitous. Yet certain
structural differences escape such close
scrutiny, notably that Of the knee.
The structure of the knee feminine
constitutes in itself permanent dis
ability for many masculine pursuits.
The knee joint in women is sexual
characteristic, rs DR. Ely Van dc Warl1-
CT long ago pointed out. Viewed in
front and extended, the joint in but
slight degree intcrcepts the gradual
taper into the leg. Viewed in semi
fixed position, the joint forms smooth,
: ovate sphe roid. The reason Of this
lies in the smallness of the patella in
front and the narrowness of the aricu-
lar surfaces of tie tibia and femur, and
which in man form the lateral promi-
nences, and this is much more perfect
as part of q sustaining column. Mus
cles designed to keep the body fixed
upon the thighs in an erect position
labor under the disadvantage of short
ness of purchase owing to the short dis
tance-compared to that of man-be-
tween the crest of the ilium and tho
great trochanter. A man has much
longer purchase in tho leverage exist
ing between the trunk and extremities
than q woman. The feminine foot,
comparatively speaking, is less able. to
sustain weight than that of man, owing
to it's shortness and the more delicate
structure of the tarsus and the metatar-
sus. Women are not well constructed
to stand many hours consecutively and
every day. 1t is safe to affirm that they
have instinctively avoided certain fields
of skilled labor on purely anatomical
grounds, i'll which the smaller quantity
of brain substance proves less an ad-
verse factor than the shallow pclvis,
the popularity of the knee and the deli
cate nature of the foot. These, as parts
of sustaining column, undeniably
leave something to be desired. Even
the right to vote would not confer on
womanll ind the right to be soldiers.
Equality, it appears, is quite as much
an affair Of the knee as of brains.

THE BRITISH eRENADIER.

Something About This Famous Arm of
the Queens Service.
In the reigns of Charles ri. and Jane S
H., and for many reigns afterw ard,
each infantry regiment consisted of
only one battalion of from six to six
teen companies, writes Gen. Wolse-
ley in Harper's Magazine. In peace
these companies were often reduced to
only fifty men each; but, as rule, the
company was composed Of one captain,
two lieutenants. two ensigns, three SER
geants, three corporals, two or three
drummers and one hundred privates
Theecaptain when on duty carried n
pike, the lieutenants partisans. the en-
signs half pixies, and the sergeants hal
herds. In each company of hundred
men, thirty were armed with pixies
fourteen feet long, sixty with match
lock muskcts, thirteen with fire-loclss,
and all carried swords besides Not
until 1745 were the swords taken from
the private infantry soldiers.
In 1878 grenadier company was
added to all regiments, each man of
which carried fusl with sings and a
bayonet, grenade pouch, Ratchet
fastened with girdle, and a cartridge
box. This use of the grenade by the in
fantry soldier was continued only to
the end of the seventeenth century.
The peculiar dress and special arms.
ETC., of these men are thus referred to
in the old and well-known song of
1.-THE British Grenadiers:"

Who wear the Hoped clothes;
