Journalism in Paris.

Paris has forty-seven dailies, including the Oficiel and Bulletin Francais, twenty-tive of which are published in the morning. Of the forty that take party sides, twenty two are Republican, six Legitimist, five Orleanist, and seven Imperialist. The big papers circulate 630,000 copies a day, of which about 400,000 preach Republican politics, 60,000 Orleanist, 60,000 Imperialist, and 24,600 Legitimist. The circulation of the small papers is estimat- ed at 1,200,000 a day; of this, three-quarters is Republican, 200,000 disseminate Orleanist views, and 20,009 Imperialism.

A Jaded Head.

Dr. Cornelius RK. Agnew lectured in New York before a large audience of mea in the hall of the Young Men's Christian Association on ‘A Jaded Head.” ‘This term, Dr. Agnew said,he applied to the head that cannot be de- pended upon for along stretch of work, that grows weary prematurely, that has to be coaxed from the pillow in the morning, and that does not face the work of the day cheer- fully. There are more of such heads than might be supposed. ‘They are found in every class of life, but chiefly among persons of sedentary pursuits and among both sexes and

almost all ages above fourteen. Generally the early symptoms of the malady is dis-

headwork in the back of the head and in the upper part of the spinal region. He is a happy man who meets this symptom with rest, and secks in sunlight and fresh air some fresh investments for his nervous system and drops every habit that does not do him positive good. If he takes to artificial stimulants for relief, he will begin a career which, sooner or later, will place him among th* incurables or bring him to an untimely end. Alcohol and all sleep- producing drugs are dangerous in the highest degree, for the mask they malady without cur- ing it. No organ in the human body is so -abused as the brain, and no organ is so well fitted for daily use. Still, the brain is not so suceptible to disease as some suppose. It was probable there was nota man present who had not, during the day, abused his brain by over- work, anger, tobacco, alcohol, fuss, hurry, too little sleep, too much sleep, by indolence, by not studying to be quiet, by not doing his own business, by attempting to do something beyond his reach, by attempting to do some- thing for which he had not been sufficiently educated, by carrying an evil conscience, or by the unmanly strain of trying to outdo his neighbor. ‘The remedy for the jaded head is the giving up of all habits which cannot be defended by the highest kind of reasoning; the careful determiping by each man of his ability to stand work, the avoid- ance of doing anything fer which a man has no adequate education, rest, recreation, and the keeping up of the tissue-building powers by wholesome food. If there is more nervous disea<e in this country than elsswhere it is be- cause the average American youth is supposed to be able to do anything. Men should eae: on what points they are ignorant and so escape | many damaging strains. Mental application does not weaken the brain; it strengthens it if not carried to the length at which wholesome food and plenty of sleep fail to refresh it.

In concluding his address Dr. Agnew said that various diseases increase as large cities are approached. Never in any age have man’s faculties been so taxed as now, and the great problem is for each man to dohis share of the world’s work and keep well, The civilization of to-day does not callfor any faculties that a man does not possess, but it calls upon him to use in the best manner the faculties he has,

Practical Hints.

Bran is a valuable food, and it is a fact

manure made.

Liberal feeding is true economy. The aim should be to induce Animals of all kinds

digest, by changing food and also changing the methods uf preparing it.

The best way of managing manure de- pends on circumstances. It may be drawn to the fields and heaped in a pile, or spread at once upon the land, or piled in the But the worst management is te

mititto be frozen or trampled into the mud,

To wheel manure easily,a few planks should be provided on which a loaded wheelbarrow can be taken on to the top of the manure heap. The saving of time in one winter will not unfrequently more than pay for the planks several times over.

Remove ice and snow from about the stables and sheds, or cows may slip and in- jure themselves.

Seed should be selected or procured at once. By and by there will be too much hurry to do this as it ought to be done. Nothing but the best should be used, and it will pay to pick out weak seeds or imper- fect grains by hand, if it can not be done better otherwise. Every time this is done, the work will be lighter, and the quality improved.

Live Stock should be kept comfortablo and clean. Examine calves and yearlings for lice. These pests will be found along the back and on the neck. Rubbing the skin with a crude petroleum will destroy the vermin. Kerosene oil should not be used unless it is diluted with an equal bulk of lard or sweet oil, as it will inflame the skin and cause sores or wounds.

Pourtry.— If the hens are kept warm, and fed weil with wari feed once a day, and provided with clean nests, eggs will soon be plentiful. Hens that have been laying may become broody, and may be set if a glazed coop is provided and placed in a sunny spot before a window in a warm poultry-house. One early chicken thus raised will be worth in market du ing sum- mer as much as two or three later ones.

Avoid Exposure of the animals to cold when they are warm. If a horse is brought in, warm and wet with sweat, rub him dry before putting on a blanket. Ho will then keep warm; otherwise he will become chill- ed by the damp blanket and take cold.

An Emigrant Family Frozen to

Death.

The Kansas City Journal says: Two emi- grant wagons stopped at Olathe, Thursday night of last week. One contained a stove, which was kept hot all the time, and the occupants seemed to be comparatively snug; the other wagon had no stove, and its oc- cupants, consisting of a man, his wife and a little child, seemed to be suffering severe- ly from the intense cold. They made no application for better shelter, however, and none were offered them. The next morn- ing the people in the wagon provided with a stove got up, and prepared their break fast. There was no one stirring about in the other waggon, ‘They ate breakfast, and began to prepare for resuming their jour- ney. Still the occupants of the other wagon failed to make their appearance. These circumstances were suspicious, and an in- vestigation seemed in order. Going up to the wagon, they called. No answer. Draw- ing aside the canvas cover, they saw the man and his wife lying in bed, with their child between them, all three dead—frezen tu death. They were travellers still, but travellers not to that ‘* undiscovered country.”

British Commerce.

The imports of merchandize into the Unitad Kingdom in 1878 amounted to $1,830,000, 000, compared with $1,971,000,000 in 1877. This shows that the imports decreased $141, 000,000, or 7.2 per cent., while the exports of home productions only, for'the same period, were $964,000,000 in 1878. Comparing with $994, - 000,000 in 1877. there is a decline of $30,000, - 000, or 3.1 per cent. That the present in- dustrial position .‘ England is beginning to have considerable influence upon her com- merce is apparent at once, if we take into con- sideration the fact that while the imports for the whole year wére but 7.2 per cent. less in value than those of the previous year, the imports for the last three months of 1878 were 19 per cent. less than fcr the cor- responding mouths of 1877. Even with the remarkable decrease of imports during the last quarter of the year, when we come to examine the quantity of the imports we find very little decrease. This goes to prove that the decline in value throughout the world for the year 1878 was very general. Uy, u the other hand, the United Kingdom appears to have sold to other countries: very nearly the same quanti- ties of her manufactures for three per cent. less, but which, owing to the decrease in cost of raw material, must hare cost her to manu- facture much more than three per cent. less than in 1877. The tendency of her trade for the last quarter of the year goes to show that she will purchase less of other countries than in 1878 during the present year, while her ex- ports of manufactures will not decrease pro- portionately.

Many a poor horse goes out in a driving ‘rein, and comes back without wetting a | hair.

A country editor who was elected town constable immediately boc. i to arrest the attention of his readers.

‘“It doesn’t take me long tu make up my mind,” said a conceited fop. ‘‘'That’s because the stock of material to make up i+ so small,” retorted a young lady.

A wife said toa drunken husband: “Oh!

| that | could draw tears of anguish from your

eyes.” The wretch replied to this; ‘* Tain’t no use, old lady, to bo-ore for water here.”’

The lad who accidentally sat down on a red-hot stove pensively remarked that he was reminded of the retreating general who burned his bridges behind him.

A clergyman, one hot Sunday, observing & deacon asleep in church, called out: ‘* Brother Austin will please open the window a little. Physicians say it is unhealthy to sleepin a hot room.”

What city in France is a man about to visit when he goes to cet married? He is going to Havre (have ler). nu old bachelor being asked the question, promptly replied, ‘* Te Rouen ” (ruin).

‘*No doubt,”’ said a footman to a short little gentleman who had insulted him, *‘you think yourse]f three times as good as I am, for I am only a footman, while you are a three-foot map,”

Hawkie, the Glasgow wit, once said, as he viewed an execution at the Glasgow Green one cold winter morning, ‘‘ The fac’ is, frien’s, we Scotch canna’ get the use o’ oor ain gallows for thae Irish.”

‘‘ Wonderful things are done now-a-days,” said Mr. Timmins; ‘‘the doctor has given Flack’s boy a new lip from his cheek,” “Ah,” said the lady, ‘“‘many’s the, time I have known a pair taken from mine, and no very painful operation, either.”

‘*Sonny,” remarked a mother to her young hopeful, ‘‘if boys were half as patient in their attention to their studies as they are in learn- ing how to skate on rollers, they would be perfect angels.” ‘*That’s so, mamma,” said the boy, ‘‘ but then they wouldn’t have near so much fun.”

The finest tribute to a departed wife which we have seen for many a year was that en- graved on a tombstone bya broken-hearted husband, who can never hope to repair his loss : ‘* We were married twenty-four years, and in all that time she never once banged the door.”

English Traveller - **Well, Mike, how is it your Irish banks keep up, while banks in Eng- land, Scotland and Wales are breaking?’ Iri peasant (excitedly)—‘* Sure isn't it own’ ta Saxon onjustice intoirely. But wait till we've Home Rule, sorr, and bedad we'll break ivery blissid bank in the conthry.”

It has often agitated our curiosity to find out why a woman will spend six weeks working a lot of scollops on the bottom of her skirt, that nobody but herself will even get a glimpse of, and then run about the neighbourbood in an old dirty wrapper without any belt, and every other button busted off.

If you would insure saccess in your under- taking, whatever it may be, let nothing divert your attention from it, Leave nothing un- done, no matter how seemingly little and un- important it may be, whieh 1s calculeulated to promote its accomplishment, There is no other way to make success certain. It is not luck. It depends on doing, doing, doing.

A ministerin W was visiting among his parishoners—it being for the most part a min- ing population-—among them was one John H--—, whom he called on. He asked John if there was a Bible in the house, and bein answered in the negative, stated that he coul not live in a house where there was no Bible. ‘J daursay no,” says John; ‘‘every man to his ain trade. I coudna live in a house where there were nae picks, either.”

The family were at dinner, when suddenly the bell rang. Both sisters started to their feet, and, as the eldest welcomed her lover, the siaall girl, in a tone of astonishment, said, ** Well, Ed. Harvey! How in the world did you get in this house?’ ‘* Why?’ said the young man bashfully, as he stroked the child’s head, ‘Why? Because I piled up the snow on the stoop, and I didn’t think you could ge in!’ ‘* Who told you I was coming?’ ‘Uh, I knew, ’cos sister has heen curling her hair and paring her nails all the afterneon.”

Last summer at Stirling Station, as two Englishmer. were waiting for the train from Glasgow to the north, and as the train hap- pened to be late, they confronted a Highland. er, and quietly remarked, ‘‘That surely the train was waiting till Donald put on his kilt. ? ‘*Na, na,” Donald replied, ‘‘ that'll no pe the way; she'll pe due at Bannockburn half an hour ago, but they’ll only be waiting to see if any of your countrymen has no intention of rising yet.”

A sneeze, to be in good taste, should crack like a rifle on a clear morning. A recipe for a sneeze of this genius 1s as follows: When you feel a tickling at the root of your proboscis, just jump up, if you be seated, run to the window, through which the sun shines, throw your head back, open your mouth, snarl like a half-starved dog at a piece of fresh meat, in- hale a deep breath, and then—blaze away ! The effect will be prodigious, You will have the best assurance that you have not sneezed in vain.
