Besides this, the feet and legs, on
account of their being so far away,
and on account of their size, with
the air all about them, are disposed
to bo too cold, even without being

Under all these circumstances,

zers. Tn this opinion the general
was doubtless partly correct, hut
only partly, for the increase of the
cotton yield is also, and very large
ly, attributable to the fact that too
large a per cent of farm work is
devoted to the raising of cotton to
the neglect of other crops. If sup
plies of corn, oats, hay and wheat,
not to mention the hog and other
meat furnishing crops, were made
by our people, there would he a sen
sible—yes, a very sensible, decrease
in the cotton field. This fact is so
true that all the cotton that our
people can make, notwithstanding
the lavish use of commercial fertil
izers, barely brings money enough
to pay for the deficit in food crops,
and to meet the meagerest family
requirements. A wise diversity of
labor on the farm is as necessary to
agricultural prosperity as a diver
sity of labor in the mechanical arts
is to commercial prosperity. Heavy
cotton crops do not necessarily
bring prosperity to the farmer.
They may bring depression and
ruin just as over production some

From Venangor Spectator.
Lincoln on Butler.
Sonic one asked Mr. Lincoln why
they had tried Butler in so many
different places—Rig Bethel, New
Orleans, Peninsula, etc. It “re
minded him of a story:” “When I
was a young man I was a “rail-
splitter.’ I wanted an ax made,
and called on a blacksmith I knew
in order to get him to make one for
me. . ‘Abe,’ he said, ‘I have just the
piece of steel for such an ax, and
have been saving it for some time,
thinking you might need one.’
Having said this much he put the
piece of steel in the forge and, hav
ing raised it to the white heat,
placed It on the anvil and beat it
powerfully with his hammer. The
sparks flew around, and all present
had to stand aside; but, after work
ing on it for some time, In* turned,
with a rueful face and said: ‘Abe,’
wont make an ax, but it will a cliv-
is!” Next he again put it into a
forge, and having heated it as be
fore, placed it on an anvil, and stri
king it with his hammer, the sparks
flew around smartly, and all had to
get out of the way of them. After
awhile he said tome: ‘Abe, I’m
sorry to say it won’t make a clevis,
but will answer for a bolt.’ He
again introduced it into the fire,
and, after pounding it on the anvil,
and the sparks flying from it as be
fore, and all present having to
stand out of the way of them, he,
with a most lugubrious expression
of countenance, said to me:. ‘Abe,
it won’t make a bolt, but there is
one thing I am certain it will
make,’ and, having heated it again
as highly as he could, he plunged it
in a bucket of water and exclaimed:
It’ll make a big fizzle!” and it did.”
Married in Fun.
Young Air. Vaughn,, who was
married “in fun” to a young lady of
Flatbush, N. Y., whom lu* had met
only a few tim s until she joined
with him in matrimonial game, is,
probably inclined to think that mar
riage is not the funniest thing in
world. The young lady whom he
had never met” until tlu* occasion
of the mock marriage, hut to whom
he wrote the next day addressing
her as his dear wife,” presists in re
garding the marriage as a serious
one, and claims him as her legal
husband.
Why young people of a certain
class should regard marriage a fit
subject for burlesque it is difficult to
say. They never engage in burlesqu
ing death, and yet as they grow ol
der they learn that marriage is
quite as serious a matter as death.
The stupidity of those who find
amusement in mock marriages is
only equaled by their vulgarity.—
One is at loss to understand what
must lie the mental character of a
girl who will go through with the
ceremony of marriage “in fun”with
a youn<? man with whom she has
had no previous acquaintance. In
most cases she is not generally re
cognized as a complete idiot, but
by what other plea than idiocy can
her conduct possibly be excused?
We pride ourselves in this coun
try on the complete freedom which
is given to our girls, hut when
young people use that freedom in
burlesquing marriage it is time to
ask whether the ursery is not the
proper place for them, until they
can learn how to conduct them
selves decently if not sensibly.
The use of Lemons.
The lemon is a native of Asia al
together it is cultivated In Italy,
Portugal, ami in the south of
France. In Europe, however, ’it
seldom exceeds the dimensions of
the smallest tree, while in Its native
state it grows to over ninety feet
in height. Every part of its tree is
valuable in medicine, though We
rarely employ "any of it Imt its fruit
that is, the lemon itself. And
j every one knows lmw to employ
! this, as in'lemonade: To squeezethe
I juice into cold water—this is the
I shortest way—or to cut in slices and
then boil it. Either way Is good.
Lemonade is one of the liest and
safestdrinks for any person, wheth
er in health or not. It is suitable to
ali stomach diseases, is excellent
in sickness—in 'cases of jatmdCe,
gravel, liver complaint, inflamma
tion of the ImiwcIs, fevers. It is a
specific against worms anil skin
complaints. The pippins crushed
may also be mixed with water opid
sugar and used as.n drink. .Lemon
juice is the best aiiti-scoriHitic
remedy known. It not
only cures the disease
fiut prevents it .Sailors make a
daily use of it for this purpose. A
pliysican suggests rubbing of the
gums daily with lemon juice
to keep them in health. The hands
and nails are also kept clean, white,
soft and supple by the daily use of
lemon instead of soap. It also pre
vents chilblains. Lemon is used in
intermittent fevers mixed with
strong hot black tea or coffee, with
out sugar. Neuralgia may In* cured
by rubbing the part affected with a
lemon. It is valuable also to cure
warts, and to destroy dandruff on
the head by rubbing the roots of the
hair witli it. In fact, its uses are
manifolda ml the more we apply it
externally the better we shall find
ourselves. Natural remedies are
the best, and nature is our liest doc
tor if we would only listen to it—
Decidedly rub your hands, head and
gums with it, and drink lemonade
in preference to all other liquids.
