SUGGESTIONS OF VALUR.

For cold in the head nothing is better than powdered bnr-'x snuffed up the nostnls. Whooping cough oaroxysms are relieved by breathing the fumes of turpentine or carbolic acid. Statistics show that pe \ ’ live longer in a brick house than in stone, and that woo den houses are the healthiest. For stomach cramps use gin ger-ale or a half teaspoonful of the tincture of gingeriu a half a glass of water in which a half teaspoonful of soda has been dissolved. Salt sprinkled on any sub stanca burning on a stove will stop the smoke and smell. Salt thrown upon coals blazing from the fat of chops or ham will cause the blaze to subside. For burns sweet oii and cot ton are the standard remedies. If they are not at hand sprinkle the burned part with flour and wrap loosely with a soft cloth. Don’t remove the dressing until the inflamationsubsides, as it will break the new skin that is forming. To prevent bread dough forming a hard crust when required to keep over, take a la dor other tin pail with a properly fitting lid, punch about a dozen holes in the center of the lid, flour the pa!l, put in the dough, and press tli Aid down firmly. We have been making too much of heredity. We have said, “The father is a thief, therefore the son will be a thief.” He has felt our saying -we have thought him down. This heredity business is the mistake of the age. Whatever else we are, we are God s children and He has no oet child, and if he has it is ;he one that has gone away. Not the one who h-is stayed at rome and lied about his brother. Because your father and mother both died of consumption. have you got to die with it? Please get that out of your mind. This heredity business has been worked for more than its worth. You are a separate and individual child to God—“ The fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children’s teeth are set on edge.” God says by his sensi - ble prophet Ezekiel, “Ye shall use that proverb no more.” “Every man shall give an account of himself to God”—that is from St. Paul. Men who have been making rules for men will be terribly disap pointed when tiiey stand be fore God—Rev. Myron W. Reed. The first white settler in the city of St. Paul came in the year 1832; to day the population < f the capital of Minnesota is 200,000. The first log cabin was erected in 1838; today the city boasts of some of the finest business and resi dence buildings on the American continent. The town site was located in 1847; the capital in 1851. The first survey of they city was made in 1851; the chamber of commerce organ ized in 1867. The original St. Paul proper, platted in 1847, contained about eighty acres. The present area of the city contains 35,482 acres. Nearly nine hundred thousand of the new text-books have been supplied by the Indiana school book company, most of which are in actual use by pupils. One-third of the townships which made origi nal requisitions have made additional requisitions, and a considerable number have made a third requisition. The new books are in use in nearly every township tin the state and appear to be.giving satis faction to everybody except the old school book trust and its purchased creatures. As a “failure,” the school book law is hardly {proving a success.—lndianapolis Sentinel. Siberia is commonly regard - ed as a region of ice and cold; but in sum met time it is about as hot as there is on the face of the globe.

No Musical Sense in Horses.

An interesting report regarding the development of the musical sense is horses has just been made by a comnittee of German zoologists and botau ist . The report say» : “The investigations as to the musical sense of horses have shown that that sense it eery poorly developed in these ani■nals. It has been proved beyond J ■ bt that horses have no notion whatever of keeping time to music and that at circuses they do not dance according to the tune, but that the musicians have to keep time according to the steps of the animals. Other investigations show that horses do not tin derstand military trumpet signals. It is only the Hder or the animal’s instinct of imitation Thlch induces horses to make the moves required by the signal, but no horse without a rider, how ever carefully trained, takes the slight est notice of a trumpet signal and the same observation has been made on a large number of cavalry horsaa without riders.”

Plain Talk About Tramps.

The cause of tramps is found in tht absolute worthlessness of tho individual. As a rule the tramp is good for nothing, made so by his owr. motion, for which no other man, power, corporation, or Government is responsible, in this country, since its formation, for over a century, every man in it could if he would earn enough to comfortably feed, clothe, and educate himself and his family. And if he was economical and industrious he could and would grow rich. Our past history proves this fact. No other country on the face of God’s earth gives to the laboring man, to all classes, such advantages as this. No other country has shown so masiy wlx have risen from poverty to afimencn. Why, then, this continuous wUlnin-P Go to work.
