Be LOYAL to Your Homes.

Every citizen should believe in
the town in which he lives very
truthfully remarks an exchange.
1t has been well said that if one
does not believe his own town or
city is little better in most re-
spects than any of its neighbours
he should move out. Like other
places it has advantages that
others have not and your mod
esty should not prevent you
from making the fact known
whenever the opportunity pre-
sents itself. At home or abro ad,
whether on business or pleasure
bent. do not neglect to give those
with whom you come in contact
to understand that you live in a
live town populated by enter
prising, go ahead progressive
people and one that is advancing
instead of retrograding.
you can truthfully speak in
commentator of the ability of
your professional men, the square
dealing methods of your mer-
chants, the excellence of your
mechanics, the superiority ofyour
churches, schools and public in
stitutions and the industry,
energy and sobriety of your citi-
zens generally, let nothing pre-
vent you from exercising that
privilege. You should learn to
believe, if you do not already,
that we have all these and in adj
dition the handsomest women,
the best located town, the finest
country surrounding it, with the
most fertile farms, titled by the
most intelligent class of farmers
to be found in the United States.
If there are any drawbacks it
will not be necessary to mention
them. The people and newspa-
pers of competing towns will re-
lieve you of that task by attend
ing to that part of it themselves
Strangers seeking a location are
greatly influenced in favor of any
place whose citizens are enthusi
astic in its praise. No city or
town can expect to attain promi-
nence over it's rivals unless it's in.

ltnce and virtues of each other

The Next House of Representatives.

There are in the present House
of Representatives 21S Demo
Gratis, 1877 Republicans, II Popu-
lists. A majority of the whole,
however is 179. To control the
next House, therefore it is evil
dent that the Republicans must
gain 50 votes. \ loss to the
Democrats of 40 will take the
control from them, but unless
Republicans gained these forty
and twelve more the Popullsts
would hold the balance of power.
These 50 seats which the Repub-
licans must gain must all proba-
bly, be got in the North, though
it may be that the revolt of the
sugar planters will give them a
chance to get one or two con-
gressmen in Louisiana and there
is possible chance of success in
West Virginia where some of the
districts are very close. The odds,
however, are against any gains
in the South, and the probability
is that if the Republicans control
the next House they will do it by
reason of gains entirely in the
North. AS the Democrats are
practically sure Of 100 members
from the South, all they need
elect in the North to give them
control is SO members, while as
there is slight prospect of the
Republicans getting any South
ern members they must, to con
troll the House elect / 70 members
in the NOrth-that is to say al
but 81 districts in the North
must be carried by the Republi
cans. The capture of the next
House by the Republicans is not
an easy thing, and can only be
accomplished by hard and per
sistent work.

The War In Corea.

The Chinese seem to have met
an overwhelming defeat at the
hands of the japanese at Ping
Yang. The formers loss was
enormous, while the latters' was
insignificant. Flushed with vic
tory, the Japanese are now talk
ing of transferring the scene OF
the war from Korea to China
itself, and a march upon Pekin
is among the possibilities. The
causes Of the success of the lap
auese are not far to seek. The

Chinese empire is numerically
vastly superior to Japan. Prac-
tically its population is mex
haustible, and there is no end to
the troops it could put into the
field. But China has kept aloof
from the civilization of Europe,
and the weapons of modern war
fare are practically unknown
there. Her armies are little
more than mobs, armed with all
sorts of antiquated weapons,
undrillcd and undisciplined. ia
pan has pursued the opposite
policy. She has taken lessons
from the advanced civilization of
Europe, and her armies are con
stituted on the European plan.
Her engineers and her generals
have made a study Of the art of
modern warfare, and her troops
are armed with the most modern
weapons. When a disciplined
body of men thus armed and
thus Differed meet a horde of
barbarians (for such the Chinese
armies practically are) there can
be hut one result. Skill and dis
cipline and improved arms must
put to route mere numbers. In
deed the greater the number of
an undisciplincd army the more
easily it is thrown into cOnfu-
sion, and the more complete is
its overthrow. The Chinese are
simply reaping what they have
sown. They have got far be
hind in the procession, and are
the easy prey of a nation vastly
smaller numerically, but which
has kept abreast of the times.

The latest political sensation is
the announcement that Senator
J. P. Jones had gone over to the
PopulistS party from the Repub-
Iican on account of his free silver

JUNGLE TIM" in the Milford
Mass, y Journal, addressed his
Younger readers last week in the
following pointed paragraphs:
want to tell YOU right here
that the young man who is fired
with a determination to make
himself useful will pass under
the wire" well ahead of his soft
snap" competitors.
The world is filled to the brim
and running over with this "soit
snap" trash who want to wear
stylishly cut suits, sport a cane
and alot oflocomotive headlight
jewellery, and LAY down" on their
father and mother to support
them. There are a good many
young women too, I'm thinking,
who turn up their noses at dish
water for fear it will impart a
ruddy glow to their hands and
murmur in a dying swan sort OF
way that sweeping makes their
shoulders and arms ache, who
find no difficulty i'll hammcring
a tennis ball half a-day at a time,
and will make a bicycle hump
itself for three hours at n time,
and call it nothing but fun. BIZ
cycles and tennis courts are fads,
you see; while washing dishes
and sweeping are so common
Did those same young women
but know it, a great many young
men are awfully suspicious OF
white hands, fearing that they
may be the means of multiplying
the calouses and enlarged joints
on their own hands. They are
perfectly willing to earn their
own living by the sweat of their
brows; but if they form a part
nership with somebody else they
have a feeling that they'd like
that somebody else to contri-
butte a portion of the sweat.
The young man who tries to
play the 'loafer' swindle on his
employer, going at his work as
all the muscles in his body were
glued together and his nerves
petrihed, and trying to skin
his work whenever he thinks he
can, will find in the long run
that he has swindled himself
worse than he has swindled any
body else. When business is
slack and orders few, he'll find
himself among the "outs" around
hunting for a job. He has the
reputation of "shirk" hitched to
him, and he is as unwelcome as
carpet bugs or the smallpox.
The employee should work for
the interests of his employer, and
will if he is fit for anything but
die. He is bound to do this 10y
ally so long as he stays with
him. He has labor to sell, the
employer has bought and is en-
titled to all it's full value. Show
me the man who is true and 10y
al to the confidence reposed in
him, and I'll show you a man
who is respected and implicitly
trusted by those in whose EN-
ploy he is. It's the shirks, the
drones, the "cheap lot" who are
forever complaining of the hard
time they have getting on. In
every community in the land
there are men, prominent in bus
mess, leaders in public and social
concerns, men of strength and
character, who will tell you the
stepping stone of their success
consisted in the fact that in their
younger days they aimed to
make themselves useful and be
true and steadfast to every trust
reposed in them.

An Acrobatic Shine.

The man was tall and lank, with keen
blue eyes, looking over "a nose like par
rot's beak. A shaggy growth of uneven
whiskers sprouted in patches from his
face, and he wore a long drab ulster,
which partly covered huge pair OF mud

the ends of varicolored pair Of overalls.

Two Italians responded, and each
claimed the customer. After volley of
Mulberry street explosives each grabbed
foot and set to work. The man eyed
them closely and clutched his grip lit
tie tighter. In a moment the bootblacks
renewed their dispute, and in their anger
yanked the mans feet in the air. For a
moment he poised, balanced on the wire,
and then with whoop fell backward
upon the withered grass plot. A crowd
collected, and the Italians scampered off.
Their victim, with one boot shined and
the other muddy, picked himself up
slowly.

He assembled the steps to the bridge

His .Lo.er Text.

The story is related of bishop who
came to one of our state prisons and
was told: No need of you here, sir.
We have eight preachers safely locked
up who are brought out each Sabbath
to minister to their fellow prisoners. I"
If this appear doubtful tale, it can be
varied with the following about a young
lady Sunday school teacher who has a
class of rather bright boys averaging
between I and years.
Recently she requested each pupil to
come on the following Sunday with
some passage of Scripture bearing upon
love. The lads needed the request and
in turn recited their verses bearing upon
that popular subject, such as Love
your enemies, Little children, love
one another, etc. The teacher said to
the boy whose turn came last, Well,
Robbie, what is your verse;" Raising
himself up be responded: Song of Sol
ONION, second chapter, fifth verse, Stay
me with fagons. comfort me with ap-
pies, for am sick Of love. "-Ex-

Reformed Geometry.

Almost 100 years ago two men set
out from Virginia to visit the Scioto
valley, of the beauty and fertility of
which they had heard alluring reports.
On the third night they reached Clarks-
burg, where they put up with a man
who appeared to be honest, but old fash
toned and illiterate

Eyes, y answered the host; t'that is
exactly what can do, for was appoint

well, the distance on q straight line,
which we first ran, was rs miles, but on
our way lack we discovered and mark
ed another line which was much near

The two travellers had each spent some
years III the study of surveying and were
more CT less amused at the idea Of a
line Shorter than straight line be-
tween two given points.
However, the next morning they took
the route which their informant had
pronounced the shorter, and true enough
they found his statement correct, for
the crooked road went round the hills,
while the straight one went over them,
and the distance round was less than
the distance over. Youth Companion.

Color and Warmth.

The color of materials has some in
fluence ON the warmth Of the clothing
Black and blue absorb heat freely from
without, but white and light shades of
yellow, etc., are far less absorbent.
This difference can be demonstrated by
experiment. The same material, when
dyed with different colors, will absorb
different amounts of heat. In hot coun-
tries white coverings are universally
worn, and sailors and others wear white
clothing in hot weather.
With regard, however, to heat given
off from the body the color Of the ma
teriaIs used as clothing makes little it
any difference. Red flannel is popu-
larly supposed to be warm, though it is
no better in this respect than similar
materials of equal substance, but white
or gray in color. Dark clothing is best
for cold weather, because it more freely
absorbs any heat that is obtainable.-

The beauty and almost absolute per-
lection charaeterizing the mirrors pro-
drced in the manufactures of Venice
are mainly due, it is said, to the pecul-
lar solution applied to the surface. Pre-
hminary to this application the glass is
thoroughly cleaned with wet whiting,
then washed with distilled water and
prepared for the silver with a sensitiz-
ing solution of tin, which is well rinsed
oft Immediately before its removal to
the silyering table, and the latter be-
ing raised to the proper temperature
the glass is laid and the silvering solu-
ton at once poured over it before the
heat of the table has time to dry any
part Of the surface of the glass. The So
luton used is prepared. as follows: In
one-half liter Of distilled water 100
grains of nitrate of silver are dissolved,
to this being added SO grains of liquid
ammonia Of 0. So specific gravity. The
mixture is filtered and made up to eight
liters with distilled water, and 5-l0
grams of tartaric acid dissolved IN 80
grams of water are mixed with the So
luton. About $40 hters are poured
over the glass meter to be silvered, the
metal Immediately commencing to de-
post on the glass, which is maintained
at about l04 degrees F., and in little
more than half hour a continuous coat
ing of silver is formed. After careful
wiping with ehanois the surface is
