TUB LKOISL AT UHK.

The Indiana Legislature convenes next Thursday, and from the general ptr-

Kfnd

of that body we may expect some good and valuable services rendered the state during tbejwlnter. Many"bllls".bear ing upon many reforms, and upon original legislation harts been prepared, and are only wnitiug for the assembling of the legislature to be introduced. Many a new member is preparing his maiden speech,and is vigorouslyj'eraming' that be may be in readiness for some pet scheme or hobby. No rash legislation however should be attempted, without due consideration of the effects of such legislation upon certain communities. Especially is this true in all matters that may in any wuy effect politics. It has been intimated that a law would be passed which would very materially affect the Interests of a largo number of citizens of Germau extraction, and would be exceedingly distasteful to them as a class. We refer to a proposed temperance bill, of the Baxter Caste, but more radical in effect. This we consider unwUe and unnecessary at thU time, as w« have laws sufficiently stringent and exacting upon that subject nil ready, and a a wise noninterference with the existing laws is desired. There are many other matters, however that should receive the attention of the Legislature. The legislature should make a revision of ou* game laws, and make the seasons longer instead of shorter, and all attempts to increase the length of the season, in any pratlctilar sport should be strenuously op* posed, for the breading season of either fin, fur or feather, as legally defined at present, is none too lon|, and in many cases It is too short, to prevent mere slaughterers killing bird:) and animals too small to be dlgnlfl«d by the name of game. There will be propositions from certain sporting quarters, for the extension of the season in which certain game may be exposed for sale.

which should be carefully looked after. While it is true, that much of such game may come from states with laws less stringent that ours, or indeed, no game laws at all, its appearance in the markets, while our laws are "on" will be a masque to erory "skallawag" hunter in the state. Let our Legislature examine into the matter.

THE London Time*, commenting on the increase in population of the United States, as shown by the census, says These eleven and one-half millions of people are »ot poor, indigent and un taught mass such as woald be produced in an European State by so great and rapid a succession to the population. They are well fed, clothed and well-to-do, and, as a rule, well educated. There is room Mid to spare for th«m all, and for as many more during the next ten jesrs. We can not but look with some envy upon a nation whose easy lot it, is to gather up the good things which fortune cast to us.

THK New York Bulletin estimates the production of rails of all kinds in the United States in 1880 at 1,800,000 gross tons in 1879 it was 983,988 tons. Of the production of 18®) there were 775,000 tons of steel rails and 425,000 tons of iron mils in 1879 we produced 610,683 gross tons of steel rails and 888,311 tons of iron rails. During 1880 we imported about 375,000 tons of rails of all kinds which, added to the probable production of 1,300 000 tons, gives 1,475,000 tons as the ap~ proxinate consumption of the year. In 1880 we mined in the Lake Superior district about 1.950,000 tons of iron ore in 1879 the production was 1.414,182 tons In 1880 we imported about 400,000 tons af iron ore in 1879 we imported 28^,141 tons, In 1880 track was laid on about 6,500 miles of new railroad in the United States in 1879 the mileage was 4,725 miles.

it would astonish nobody. Thk girls of Lake Erio Seminary, at Painesville,*Ohio, actually claim to have nominated Garfield for Preaideut as long ago as 1861, and to have agreed then to go and see him inaugurated. They propose to meet at New Yor£ March 1, and go forward as an honorary escort for the President elect. Most of the girls of twen ty years ago are now wives and mothers. "Hamlin," said Mr. Blaine to a correspondent, "Is a man of ri^id tnann n, answering every letter written him by a constituent before going to bad. He couldn't sleep till he had answered it, and I have told him it would be no use of his going to bed till he had done so: He never forgets a friend nor an enemy. His system af rewards and punishment isundeviating consequently his friends have relied upon him, and have lifted him to his triumphs. He is an effective speaker, though he docs not often speak in the* Senate. "W»kxkvi* a large-minded woman of pleasant manners and social tact obtains an entry into the Parisian mondt she carles all before her.

It occurs to me that, owing, no doubt, to the intellectual inferiority in which French upper class young laaics have been long kept, the influential women of our day in Paris are foreigners or of foreign extract ion."— London Truth.

The literary wits of Paris make tilts at the Germans, and the literary wits of Berlin make lunges at the French. The real, heavy fighting,however Is between German newspaper writers, who see English travellers and English travellers who, going into Germany, write home to English laurnaU. The Germans say that the Englishmen are sullen, conceited, unpoetical, impolite, unbending and overbearing. that they arc too good to answer a dhril question, and that in the hearing of the people in whose country they are travelling they proclaim to one another the superiority, in all things, of England and its people. The English travellers of a literary turn write home that the Germans are not tidy that they are not nice e*ters

USEFUL ASP SUGGESTIVE. ,. —Fine seed, such as grass, needs but little covering quarter of an inch is enough and less will do. —White mosquito netting sowed together, three thicknesses, makes a better dishcloth than almost anything else. —Eiqe Chicken Pie.—Cover the bottom of a pudding-dish with slices of broiled ham cut up a broiled chicken and nearly fiil the dish pour in gravy or melted butter to fill the dish add chopped onions if vou like, or a little curry powder, which is better then add boiled rice to fill all the interstices and to cover the top thick, and bake for half or three-quarters of an hour. —Care of Umbrellas.—Most persons, when they come in from the rain, put their umbrellas in the rack with the handle upward. They should put it downward, because when the handle is upward the water runs down inside to the place where the ribs are joinad to the handle, and cannot get out, but stays, rotting the cloth ana rusting the metal until slowly dried away. The wire securing the ribs soon rusts and breaks. If placed the other end up the water readily runs off, and the umbrella dries almost immediately. —Seeing an inquiry reoently answered in the World concerning the cleaning of old cider-barrels tempts me to tell how I clean old pork barrels when these are wanted to again pack meat down in. It is simple enough. Fill the tainted barrel with fresh earth, let it stand a oouple of days, then empty and refill with fresh earth. After this has stood two or three days, 'empty out, turn the barrel bottom-aideupana burn some brimstone under it finally rinse out with dean water.—N. Y. World. —Kromeskvsof Partridge.—Pick out all the meat from the carcasses of one or two roasted birds, pound it in a mortar with a little butter, pass it through a hair Sieve, put it into a saucepan with a little more butter, pepper, salt and powdered spice to taste, give It a turn on the fire, then stir in oit the fire the yelk of one egg and a littlo lemon juice. Spread out the mixture to get cold, divide it into small portions, roll each into a thin slice of parboiled bacon, dip in batter, and fry. —Potted Ham. Mince cold boiled ham, qaixing lean and fat together pound in a mortar, seasoning at the same time with a little cayenne pepper, pounded mace and mustard, rut into a dish and place in the oven half an hour afterward pack it down in little stone jars which cover with a layer of clarified butter (lukewarm) and paste a paper over them. This potted nam is especially nice for sandwiches. The layer of butter on top cau, of course, be used for making meat pies or somo similar purpose.

Among the most satisfactory and easily cultivated of house plants are zonaie geraniums. Some of the new dwarf varieties are especially adapted to window culture, being compact and small in growth and free bloomers •some of the semi-doubles also blossom well, but the double geraniums are more suitable for out-doors and greenhouse oulture. The foliage varieties are beautiful, and do well in a window which has only a little sunlight. They should have a rich culture, and never be allowed to bloom. Geraniums, to flower well, must have plenty of sunshine it is also of the first importance to select such as are free bloomers. —A Hash that will Satisfy.-—Cut some beef in nice little slices from the bone, removing all the hard parts and skin put the gravy in a saucepan with a pint of water, three tablespoonfuls of catsup, a desert-spoonful of minced savory herbs, an onion chopped fine, half a teaspoonful of salt and a third of cavenne. Let these stew together for fifteen minutes. Take out a cupful of flour stir it well into the stewpan again and stew for ten minutes longer. Strain it through a sieve, return it to the pan, place the slices-of boef in it and keep the saucepan on the side of the range until the meat is heated through- not to boll, or it will become hard. A few minutes before serving add half a wineglass of tarragon vinegar. Arrange some to&sted sippets round a very hot dish and serve the hash immediately after it is cooked. •Apple butter that will keep may be made as follows Reduce a kettle of sweet cider about one-halt by boiling it down. Pare, core and quarter good sound apples while the cider is boiling. Add as many apples as the boiled cider will take, and cook until the fruit is thoroughly mtshed and of a uniform oolor. Let the boiling go on briskly, and the stirring must be without cessation to prevent the m&.« becoming attached to th* bottom and sides of the kettle and ta«jo burning. When nearly done flavor with spices to suit the taste. Apple butUT is not done so long as the cider rises to the sir a *e. When thoroughly cooked it shauld be thick and smooth as hasty pudding/1

Over-Reach.—No horse that is, in the phrase of horsemen, pigeon-toed and a quarter-grabber" oua possibly be of any value to his owner. Two more objectionable faults caaoot be found In a horse for either speed on the track or for road driving. No mode of shoeing can as a rule remove these faults. However, if you desire to try to remove them, the following process in shoring will be found as well adapted lor the purpose as any I know of. Pare his forward feet level in every part adjust the shoes i» a manner that will equalise the pro portion oi his weight evenly upon them, leaving the inside quarter of either shoe a little thicker than the outside quartet*. Do not let the shoe project the slightest outside of the walls of the hoofs. 1/ the latter are strong, a pound and a half shoe cm each loot will have the tendency to make him alter his maimer in handling them. Try this. If ft should prove successful can gradually Increase the weight of the forward shoes until his movements In this part of his body become eatis£actacy. Let his hind shoes back half to three-quarters of aa inch from t&* end of Hs taas and pet the weights him belted. By this mmmym may pMsibijr osase kb to travel wider bmmA, and (to pass Us forward feet ooigidft a saAdhmt distance as to stop hba tnm striking his forward quartet* -MXltoM

Injurious Habits and Postares af Oil* drea.

kn article of considerable length, entitled, The Arrangements for Seating Children in School and at Home* and their Influence upon the Health of the Young, and especially upon their Growth and Carriage," which appeared in the Monthly SaniUtry Journal of Brunswick, is well worthy of perusal, and contains the following general rules, which have the assent of aiderent physicians of hi^h authority 1. The carrying of children on one aide, on the arm. by nursas, is improper, a* it frequently occasions defects in form and growth. 2. Lying on the back the best position in the earlier years, as it meets all the requirements of health. S. In raising itself up, and in learning to walk, the child should be left to its own strength, or should at ittost only be assisted as it may have need. Every premature attempt to walk may occasion curvature of the »pine ana of the bones of the feet and all artificial supports, as go-carts, belts, etc., are injurious. 4. Carrying heavy articles, such as school satchels, smaller children, etc., on one side, instead of upon the back, should be avoided. Neither should girls that are not full grown sew with thread that is too long,. embroider on frames, nor engage in similar occupations. 5. All the limbs of a child should be uniformly exercised. Neglect of the left arm, or of the left hana! or of the left side in

general, wl shouldered.

I»art

Will render one side high6. Improper positions, as

standing on one foot with the other foot barely in contact with the floor, by which the body is constrained into a slovenly, inclined position, occasion curvature of the spine. 7. Coats, jack-* ets and garments of all kinds should be wide enough across the chest aud in the armholes. The garments of girls should not be cut so low that the shoulder seam slips down over theshoulder, thus producing a feeling of discomfort, and, as a consequence, a .continual unequal working of the shoulders back and forth, as well as upward, which gives rise to bad habits of carriage. Coi-scts are under all circumstances attended with danger to the development of girls, as also high h«e!s on shoe*. Both are termed by Dr. Schreber the harmful gratification of the feminine taste for aress." 8. Bodily exercise, as skating, swimming, and, above all, gvinnastics, neutralizes many evil influences upon the body, and im mrts beauty of form as well as strength. Walking.on stilts, for example, is peculiarly elective for correcting defects of carriage resulting from weakness of the upp.:r dorsal muscles, as stooping of the shoulders, and turning of the toes inwai'd.

The following suggestions relate more particularly to the position in writing, etc., at the desk in school, or at the work-table at home: 1. The vertical distance of the inner edge of the table from the surface of th« bench or chair should be adjustod in the distance of the elbows of the individual from the sur'ace of the seat. If a chair must be made high enough to meet this requirement by something placed beneath, care should be taken that the 'seat does not slope, i. The edge of the bench or chair should project about two inches beyond the front or inner edge of the table or desk. 3. Tiie height of the seat must be determined by the lenxlh of the lower part of the leg of the individual. The feet should r«st entirely and comfortably on the floor or footstool, as the thigh should rest horizontally upon the seat.. It is very injurious to allow the lower part of the leg to hang unsupported. 4. The breadth or deptn of the seat should bo such that nearly the whole of the thigh may be supported, and the rear edge should be about three-quarters of an in 'h lower than the front edge. 5. Every seat should be supplied with a back, which, under all circumstances should support the loins, and permit an inclination backward above. Straight backs, whether perpendicular or inclined, are objectionable. Backs should be universally attached to benchos in schools, churches and manufactories. 6. The space between the back and the inner edsrw of the table, in writing or working, must as a rule, be so narrow that the loins need not be withdrawn from the back and the order to "sit back" is one of the most important to the child whilst writing, if the first sad fifth requirements are met. 7. The table for writing must have sufficient breadth, and inclination of 1 to 7. to aiford the correct angle of sight Round table* are very objectionable. 8. The correct position in writing, according to the preceding, is controlled by the following rules: (n) The position of the upper part of the body should be erect, .with its support ia the spinal oolumtx, 'which rests at the loins upon the back of the seat, and in no ease should the body be supported by the elbows rest in 2 upon the table (6) the upper

of the body should be placed square front of the table, so that a line joining the two shoulders may be parallel to the edge (c) both forearms should rest upon the table nearly to the elbows, and should not be far from the body, so that the upper portions of the arms may be nearly perpendicular if but one elbow rests upon the table, and the shoulders are not ia a line parallel to the edge of the table, the position is a crooked one. and may produce lateral curvature of the spine (d) the head should not be bent down, but the neck should be simply gently inclined (e) the chest should not press against the edge of the table, but should be removed an Inch or two fmm it the body should not slip forward on the •eat if tha precaotkms d, and are disregarded* defective development of the chest will be caused by the carving of the back, and near-sightedness by the bending down of the head
