The next day after a man moved into a town in Western Dakota the Mayor calle-i upon him and said ; “Just arrived from the East, I hear t” “Yes.” “Believe your name is Jones ?” “That’s it.” “No title, I suppose?’ “None, 1 ’ “Of course you will want one now, but I’ll just tell yon how that is, we Aaven't got much to seiect from. \Ve limited each title to live persons, and we already have rive Colonels, five Senator*, live Governors, five Judges and so on, Wo aren’t quite full of Majors and Coramodoree, h nvevor, aud you can take your choice. “Well, if it is customary I be« lievo I’ll take Major.” “Alt right, Major.

In one of the newly settled counties of I akc(a the few resi dents were fixing tip a political slate so that all would have a place at th- public crib. “There,” said one, “I guess about everybody has something except old Tom Bellows.” “Might make bun constable.” “No, be ean’t reai/—couldn’t serve a warrant.” “Justice of the PeaceT” “That won't do, because he can’t write eit/ter. Guess the old fellow will have to go hungry.’ “That won’t never work,” said another: “he wiU throw his influ ence against us.

SANITARY PRECAUTIONS m POINTS THAT MAY SAVE IA DOCTOR 8 BILL AND MUCH TROUBLE. The foundation of three fourths of all the cases of consumption is laid before the age of 25 years; in wotneu, during their teeLS. The hereditary element m not of special account as a cause’ of con sumption, as less than 25 per cent, of cases are clearly of consumpt ive parentage. One of tbe ruling causes of dis euseund premature death in large cities is found in that exhausting -train of the menial energies in the struggle for subsistence—a death race for bread. Insanity runs in families, but, as in the case of family likeness, it sometimes overlaps* a generation or more Personal resemblance emails like characteristics of mind and disposition. A current of the purest air from the poles for half an hour on u pei son sleeping, sitting still, or over heated, is u thousandfold more hex structive of health and fatal to life than the noisomeuess of a crowd ed room or vehicle, of the stench of a pig sty for thrice the time. To exercise in weariness, in cieased by every step, is not only not beneficial, it is useless and worse than useless; it is positively destructive. As no good travelei, after hav ing fed his house, renews his jour ney iu a trot, but with a slow walk, gradually increasin'' his pace, so in getting up to address an assembly for a continued effoit the first should be uttered in a low, slow tone, gradually lutensi* tied, otlierwi-e the voice will bie.tk down iu a veiy few minutes with coughing or hoarseness. A growing inability to sleep in sickness is ominous of a fatal re sult; in apparent health it indica tes the failure of the mind and madness: so, on the otuer hand, iu disease or dementia, a very slight improvement in (he sleeping should be hailed as the hart>inge»- of restoration. No one can possibly sink if the bead is thrust entirely under wa er, and in this position a novice can swim, as easily as walk, and get lo shore readily by lifting (lie head at intervals for breath. Intense thirst is satiated by wading in water, or by keeping the clothing saturated with water, even if be taken frem tue sea. Water cannot satisfy the thirst whicu aiteLds ciiolera, dysentery, d’arrhoea ond some ot' er forms of disease; in fact, drinking colk wa ter seems to increase the thirst aud induce other disagreeable sen sations; but this thirst will be p>ei /ecily and pleasantly subdued by eating a comparitevely small amount of ice, swallowed in as large pieces as praetible und as much as is wanted. Inflauiatious are more safely and far more agreeably subdued by the application of warm than cold water. Very excessive effort in a short space of time, as in running or jumping a rope, etc., has repeated lv causod iustant death by apo plexy of the lungs, the exercise sending the blood there faster than it can bo purified by the more frequent brouthiug on su b occasions. £ o disease ever comes without a warmug; hence endeavor to think back for the cause, with a j view to avoid it in the future, and ;on tiie instant of any unpleasant bodily seusaiion erase eating nu | til it hos disappeared, at least for | twenty four hours; stil/ remaining, | consult a physician. Tue more clothes a man wears, tho more bed cletbiug he useß, tlie closer he confines himself to : his house, the more readily will ! lie take cohl, as the more a thrif . less youth is helped the less able : do s he become to help himself. — Hall’s Journal of Health. “Mattie, Mattie, ’ called aii Omasa dame to her daughter, “I do wish you wonld play somethibg besides Wagner. 1 am so sick of it.” “I am not at the piano, ma.' re sponded the daughter from uu ad joining rooiu. “i'hen who is itt’’ “Nurse and the baby.” ALL THE CHERRIES THEY WANTED.

THINGS TO DO AND TO KNOW. Bad drinking water for cows makes bad milk. Lay out a new farm in ten-acre lots, and put your buildings iu the center. Wood ashes or potas* in some form atour.d the roots of old pear tre6s will restore thsin, On smooth land aimaks tena coan with the cultivator, instead of the plow. It saves time and la bor. Moore sleep and iess stimulant will make haying and hrrvesting go easies. Boycott bottles and jogs. The greatest curse lo farming in tbe south is the custom of putting a mortgage upon growing crops. Whereever possible, get private customers fer your eggs; butter aud “truck.” Avoid middlemen ami get paid in cash. Basswood, or the American lin den trep, commonly called “linn,” makes the choicest white honey. It is a good shade tree besides. Kill venomous snakes, but not harm ess ones.

Nurse an mfunt of six months and over five times in twenty-four hours, and no more. If an infant is thirsty give tj pore water, or barley water ; no sugar. Fkedinu of infants. —Boil a tea epo, nfnl of powdered barley (ground in a coffee grinder) and oae half pint of water, with alittl* salt, for fifteen minutes, strain, then mix it with half ar much boil" ed milk ; add a lump of white su gar, size of a walnut, and give it ; hike-warm from a nursing bottle. Keep bottle and mouth-piece iu a bowl of water when not in use, to which a little soda iniy be added. For infants five or six months ole, give half barley warer and half boiled milk, with salt and a lump i of sugar. Foi older infants, give more j milk than barley water. For infants very costive, give oatmeal instead of barley. Cook and strain as before. When your breast milk is only ' half enough, change off between breast milk and this prepared food. Jn hot weather if blue litmus paper applied to the food tvr a red, the food is km acid, aud you must make a fresh mess or add a small pinch of baking soda. Infants of six mouths may have beef tear or beef soup soup once a day, by itself or mixed with other food; and when ten or tweive months old. a citist of bread and a piece of rare beef to suck No child under two years old ought to eat at your table.

JOHN T. WILSON, Ja., Publisher NO 32 A SHREWD STROKE OF ECONOMY. Ever smco District Attorney Hillborn met with that accident when he asked a Chinaman what a 10 cent cigar was, no has telt like giving up smoking. And another experience has just happened to him which makes him afraid to buy a cigar in case some joke will aome out of it. He engaged a new boy for his office—a young, zealous, economical, bright boy, whose whole sou! was devoted to his muster’s seivice. Among the boy’s duties was to go for oigurs for the judge The other day the boy was given half a dollar. “Go out,’ said the judge, “to ’s and buy me four cigurs.four for a half Ho knows what 1 get. Ths boy started off and came back presently, his face aglow with pride and triumph. He had six cigars. He humled them to the judge. “What are these T’ “I didn't go to ’s, sir. 1 known a place where they give you six for a half.’ And that boy, if he reads this story, may perhaps discover why the anticipated raise of salary did not follow his stioke of econo my.
