A school-box being asked by his
teacher ‘of what the German diet was
constituted,’ replied, ‘Sour-krout,
elinnpps, lager beer and nix-cnm-rous.
That boy must be a cousin-german
to the boy who, when shown a pic-
are of Luther at the Diet of Worms,’
aid, ‘Papa, I see Luther, but where
are the worms that he is going to eat?’
Chapped hands.—Take common
birch and grind it with a knife until
; is reduced to the smoothest powder;
put it in a dean tin-box, so as to have
i continually at hand for nse: Then,
£very time that the hands are taken
fom the suds or dishwater, rinse them
boroughly in clear water, wipe them,
Irifl while they are yet damp, rnb a
pinch of starch thoroughly over them,
covering the whole surface. The ef
fect is magical. The rough, smart

Bringing in insuring the greatest de

YVokth Rembebing.—Keep some-
strong spirits of hartshorn in a ground

in a tablespoonful of water will clean
combs and brushes and restore 5 colors

applied to ill-smelling feet and arm
pits removes the odor, the grease spots
from carpets and clothing. A weak
Solution in water makes a good wash
for the hnir, and stimulates its growth
when impaired by fever, and cleanses
the scalp effectually. A weak. solntion
scattered over the leaves of plants

MY JOURNALISTIC IDEAS.
[This article is taken from the New
York News, and is one of the best
“hits” of the season.]
I feel that itr is my duty to write a
text-book, on reporting. Iam partic
ularly qualified for the task, for I
don’t know anything about it. The
observant reader of technical litera
ture will have noticed, that -total igno
rance of his subject is invariably the
first- quality displayed by the technical
author, f It enables him to startj ua-
tramelled. Given knowledge of a snbf
ject, and you will almost certainly find
predjudices along with it In regard
to newspaper reporting, l ean confi
dently assert an entire freedom from
predjudice. The present effort is not
my text-book. It is only the trial
trip, the preliminary examination,
tlie.rough draft. If it met with en
couragement I think I can promise tq
give the world about as “hefty” a
treatise on reporting as two dollars
anda half can purchase in this neigh
borhood.
“What sensation approaches it in
grandeur and freedom? Talk about
ranging the country oh an unbridled
steed! Talk about filibustering
among the clouds in a hydrogen bal
loon! Talk about skimming over the
brine in a Hingham and Hull steam
ship! For exhiliration and mad aban
don this beats them all—this sallying
forth on an expedition' of Bohemian
knight-errantry, with a Faber No, 2
for a spear and a thirty-five cent note
book for a target, and the proud con
sciousness that by a few strokes of the
pencil one can rew ard generosity, help
a friend, lrant a foe, make a perjured
villain of the man who snubs him, or
exalt almost to immortality the genial
fellow who invites him to bibulous
commuuion twice in succession, aud
then goes off without expecting recip
rocation, fully satisfied with the pro
tocol as itstands. Ah this is life!—
This and so forth.” [Extract from
preface of forth-comiug text-book.]
The subject has a compri heusive
range. I eau touch it only here and
there.. One of the oftenest attempted
and least understood of the profes
sion is that which chronicles the inno
cent enjoyments and social gather
ings of city life.- I therefore invite
your attention to a consideration of
society items.
There is here a' wide field for repoiv
torial talent. The real principle on
»hich the news of society and of so
cial gatherings is compiled, is, we fear,
but little understood. A few hints
may be of service to the community.
Iu the following ascending scale of
commendatory notice, the explana
tions in brackets will show what influ
ence to-day’s treatment of the gentle
men of the press will have on to
morrow’s arrangement of the types:
“The annual'festival of the Pander

Illustrations might be multiplied,
but it is hoped that the foregoing ex
amples will be, at the same .time, a
sufficient guide to* the inexperienced
reporter and a useful hitft.to the social
public. It is a sad fact that there are rep
resentatives of the pres3 in every city
of the country, who are unmindful of
the glorious opportunities for free
rum and tobacco, which such a sys
tem affords. Might not this be rem
edied by calling a convention of the
metropolitan reporters and forming
some such union of action as charac
terizes the other and less notable pro
fessions? Strange as it may seem, we
have known journalists to write dry,
skeleton sketches of entertainments
where Green Seal and choice Parta
gas were dealt out with lavish hands.
Yea, more than this. To our certain
knowledge low-spirited wretches, un
worthy of the proud Bohemian title,
have gone away from gatherings
where they were kept in a state of
continued thirst, where not even so
much as Connecticut fillings in Cuban
wrappers were offered them, and pen
ned fulsome, undignified accounts of
the same, wasting epithets which even
a more generous treatment would
have purchased cheaply. Incredible
though it appears, this must be chron
icled as a fact—a shameful, disgrace
ful filet-.
Such a convention as has been pro
posed might effect numerous and
much-need reforms. It could adjust
a standard scale of epithets, and at-
ttach to each epithet its proper price.
It could decree that adjectives, in de
scriptive writing, go always in pairs,
connected by the usual conjunction,
and make it a penal offense to use
them singly, except in extraordinary
emergencies. It could demand wider
privileges and more, regenerate rights
for its reportOrial fraternity. It could
insist on private carriages, with a mon
ogram oh each door, panel, from and
to the office. It could prescribe the
brand of the cigar and the vintage of
the wine which shall be provided for
the representatives of the press. It
could require that they be treated
with becoming deference by the aris
tocratic ujistiuts.of society.. In short,
it could bring about all the desirable
changes which follow upon combined
and, organized requisition. We mere
ly throw out the hint for the consid
eration Of the fraternity, doubting not
that.it will meet approval and.-practi
cal results. i
In the modern school of criticism it
is all folly telling what a minister says
or how he says itV Old fogy newspa
pers may give abstracts of sermons;
nobody cares to read them. What the
intelligent American public does want;
is spicy description and personal gos
sip. In this respect journalists. have
still much to learn, and may study
with profits the artistic'efforts of the
New York Herald. The true style of
pulpit reporting is something like
this:
“The Rev. Dr. Vermifuge, lately
called to the pastorate of the Hood
lum Place First Pyrotechnic Church;
preached yesterday. His general tone
is much like that of his predecessor,
the lamented Mr, Gheesey; -yet, if
anything, he parts his back hair in a
more orthodox diagonal than even that
tonsorial divine. That the new -min
ister is possessed of comprehensive ge-
niofyno one who noted the really in-
teleetual method of neck-tie adjust
ment whicli he has adopted, can doubt
for a moment. The fie could result
from nothing short of superior endow
ment—of genuine culture. We are
not prone to be captious in regard to
doctrinal questions, but would not
Dr Vermifuge better fulfill the re
quirements of his calling did he wear
tile box-toed boots instead of patent
leather gaiters? Some may consider
this a small point. It is a small
point, yet it is the small points of pul-
the
of
the theological soundness of thq. ex
cellent doctor's views. It is true that
there have been whispers in Ms con-
gjegation that the large diamond

thing to have'abpnt yon as a ttiink
full of tarantulas, with the ttilbklid
always up: A eihinent Engish pliysi-
onr duty as . a censor of public-morals
compels us to call attention to this
fact. On the whole, we find little to
criticise and.muclrto commend in the
reverend gentleman; There were
some; really; some ■ fine points in liis
sermon. When he paused, for in
stance, in the midst of a thrilling pas
sages, and extracting a delicate cam
bric handkerchief from the pock
et of his left coat-tail, blew his nose
with unmistakable fervor, there was
hardly a dry eye among the feminine
portion of his congregation. We con
gratulate the Hoodlum Place society
upon the acquisition of so able a spir
itual guide. In regard to to the
choir, unless we except the last Win
ters’s bonnets, which made the sopra
no conspicuous, we have nothing bnt
unqualified praise to communicate.”
This rational and lively fashion of
serving up the Sunday services is, I
am glad to say, coming more and
more into vogue. It is npedless to
add that it can be mastered and ef
fectively used only by reporters who
combine keen perceptions with re
markable powers of analysis.
Personal reporting, when rightly
done, is perhaps the culmination of
the art. As a general rule personals
should relate to individuals whom the
public cares nothing about. If it does
care to learn something about this,
man or that woman, let it go to work
and hunt np the facts itself. If per
sons do treat of well-known individ
uals. let them be abusive, they are
nothing if they are not abusive. But
a few pages of example are worth pa
ges of precept. ;
“It may interest somebody to know
that Hennessey Jackson, the eminent
tinman, has worn but two pairs of-
oanialoous during seventeen years.”
This will put fT ennessey Jackson’s
name before the public, and do him a
real service in his useful trade. It
will also soldex the reporter’s tinware
gratuitously for a period of time, com
mensurate with H. J’s appreciation
of a favor. Wasted on a really dis-
tinguisqed individual, tlie same
amount of type would have benefitted
nobody, readers, sublect- of the perso
nal, or reporter.
“Congressman P»ter F. Jones, is a
man of steady habits—of driukiug.”
Everybody is glad to learn of some
personal weakness in men or women
whose names are constantly before the
public. There is ah almost universal
envy of the successful, which delights
in witnessing downfalls. So the news
paper man.will be doing his readers ®
service, if be occasionally invent a lit
tle 1 downfall or it cherry bit of scandal.
If.,he is afraid of a libel, his course is
afe Once apparent. He must manufac
ture the scandalized as well as the
scandal., He must set hp ; a man of
straw, and then libel him all lie pleas
es! The man'of straw has no remedy,
not being judicially recognized in our
courts, (except in bail). By following
.these directions and observing other
serve, up his personals in a spicy, ac
ceptable and safe manner. >
As I remarked at the outset, this ar
ticle is uotliing more than a few speci
men pages from my proposed book.—:
I.sliall have space to say nothing of
several important branches ot the
work, political reporting, police and
criminal pews, miscellaneous and spe
cial-.reporting, ideal reporting, and
other matters. Bat they will be treat
ed of at full length _ in the text book. 1
It is not yet written, but I have no
'hesitation in recommending it 1 to the
most complete minute and: trustwor
thy publications of the kind in ‘North
American language. By following its
directions in detail any man of aver
age intelligence can rise in the pro
fession. .
Cube fob neubaugia.—A Newark
gentleman who suffered horribly from
pains from neuralgia, hearing of a
noted-physician in Germany, who in
variably cured the disease, crossed the
ocean and visited Germany for treat
ment! He was permanently eared af
ter a short sojourn, and tlie doctor
freely gave him the simple remedy
used, which was not nothifig! bnt poul
tice and tea made from our common
field thistle. Theleaves are macerated
and used on the parts affected as' a
poultice, while, a small quantity of
the, leaves is boiled down to a pint, 1
and a small wineglass of. the decoction
drank before each meal. The gentle
man says he has never Sapwn -it to
fail of ^giving relief, while in in al-
every cate it has effected a cure.
About Bispepsia.
Did you ever have the dyspepsia?-
Did you ever have—or imagine you
had—a complication of all known, and
several unknown diseases? If y<
then yon“fiavO had' the dyspepsia, or
iciah hassaid: “A man with a had dys
pepsia is a villain. ” He is,and worse.
He is by turns a fiend; a moral mon
ster, and a physical coward—and he
cannot help if. He is in his own bot
tomless pit, and his own demon at the
bottom, of it, which torments btun
eontinnally with pangs indescribable.
When a worm of the business dost of
this world has writhed with the dys
pepsia until it has assumed a' virulent
chronic form, who shall find colors
and abilities varied enough to point
his condition? His blood becomes
first poverty stricken, then impure,
and, as “blood will tell,” every part
of his system is contaminate by the
font scream.
The brain complains bitterly on its
own account,and vehement complaints
are being eontinnally sent tip to it
from the famishing liver, bowels,
spleen, heart and lungs. Like ‘Sweet
bells jangled out of tune,’t he entire
organization breathes discords. Even
the remote toes telegraph up to the
brain, “we are starving down here;
send down more provender.” The
brain makes requisitions on the stom
ach, which are futile. The stomach
is powerless to provide, and the brain
cannot transmit. At times all the
starving organs conspire together,sus
pend work, and undertake to compags
by not which they fail to get by ap
peal. Then life trembles in the bal-
Tbentbe consolation—O, the
consolation!—that is visited upon the
dyspeptic. Friends—when he is life
less from lack of vitality—friends will
exasperate him with taunts of being
“lazy,” “shiftless,” “indolent,” aud
“without ambition!” Nor can his
friends be made to appreciate that jt
as preposterous to expect ore who is
undergoing constant torture and con
sequent exhaustion to have “ambi
tion” as it would be to expect a corpse
to have an appetite. Remedy, every
body’s advice—that is, ride every
body’s hobby. Cure, death. Drugs
are but aggravations, and “bitters”
are bitter indeed! We have heard of
a chronic dyspeptic who • took his cue
from his chickens, and, by swallowing
daily a moderate handful of gravel
stones of the size of a pea downward,
finally succeeded in transforming ‘cue’
into ‘cure.’ He claimed a complete
restoration.. In the.face of this evi
dence to the contrary, we reassert that
for chronic dyspepsia in its worst
form there is lint one certain cure—
absolute rest. Preventive, Take as
good care of the coats,-.of.ypnrptomac(b;
as you do of the coats of. your back.
Do yon wish for faith in God, in hu
man love, in earthly happiness,, in the
the beneficence of nature and. in im
mortality? Keep yonr. digestion vig
orous; on that-bang all these. Would
you,prefer an ; abiding faith in tortures
unspeakable, in horrora inexpressible?
Destroy your digestion. Would you
live in.the body forever? Keep yonr
digestion at full vigor; although the
end of the world may come; your end
will not come—yon will have to go af
ter it. Old age is bnt the failure of
nutrition. Nutrition is life; non-nu
trition is death.
Who Can Most Easily be Spared.
Young men, this is the first ques
tion your employers ask themselves,
when business becomes slack, and
when it is thought necessary to econ-
omize in the matter of salaries. This
question is answered in an American
jonmal to onr satisfaction. It answers
the question who can best be spared
this way:-r-“The barnacles, the shirks,
the make-sltift’s somebody’s nephews,
protegees, somebody’s good-for-nofch-
ings. Young man, please, remember
that those are not the ones who are
called for when responsible positions
are to be filled. Would you like to
gouge yonr own fitness for a position
of p rominence? Would you like to
know the .probabiuties of your getting
such a position? Inqinra within!—
What are yon doing to make yourself
valuable in the position you now oc
cupy? If you are doing what your
hands find to do, then chances are ten
to one that you will soon become so
valuable in that position that yon
cannot easily be spared from it; and
then, singular to relate, will be the
very time when you will be sought
out for promotion to a better place.
Be content to .grade among the men
who can easily be spared, and yon

may rest assured that nothing will

as promotion,’

A Boyish Desire*
Mrs. Gnnli, the other day, was tel
ling her little son Adolph the story of
Joseph and Ins brethren; and when
she had described the meeting of them
after" Joseph had become a great lord
in Egypt, - and fold how he embraced
bis brothers and kissed them, she said;
“And now, Adolph, my child, wouldn’t
yon have liked to have been there to
have witnessed that beantifn! scene?
THink, my dear boy, of how Joseph
must have looked, so fall of joy and
happiness, and how glad his brothers
must halve been to see him such a great
man. It must have been a very happy
scene, and I am sure, Adolph, that
you wish you could have been there
to have witnessed it.”
Adolph: I say, ma, I can’t ever see
it, can I?
Mrs. Gunn: No my dear of course
not.
Adolph: And I can’t ever see any of
those things mentioned in the Bible
can I, ma?
Mrs. Gnnn: Certainly not, my child.
Why do you ask such question?
Adolph: Why because if I could see
any of them, ma, I’d just want a chance
to go in and get a look at them bustin’
old lions that wanted to chaw up Dan-

Then Adolph went all of a sadden

A New Textile Plant.
The plant known in North America
as the wood-nettle, was discovered
some years since on the Alleghany
Mountains, at an altitude of more than
5,000 feet above the - sea leveL Some
living specimens which Mr. Rozel, the
discoverer, took home, were disposed
of to tne Prussian Minister of Agri
culture, who was desirons of ascer
taining the value of the plant under
cultivation. The results so far appear
lo/6e favorable, and the loportea pns-
tnlata, as a textile plant, is now occu
pying much attention, in’Germany.—
Being a perennial, the laponea does
not require to be sown every year, nnd
in this respect has some advantage
over hemp and flax; besides which it
is said to be far less troublesome and
l*ss expensive than hemp in the prep
aration of its fibres. In the wild state
it grows from two three feet high, bnt
as grown in Berlin it has. already
reached a higher stature, which it is
probable will be more extended by
careful cultivation in suitable soil.—
The experiments which have been
made as yet, to a limited extent only,
as to the quality of the fibre, tend to
the conclusion that it will form a valu
able addition to onr textile mate
rials,
