This is the off year in politics, and not more than one man in every three is a candidate for office.

Now is the time to get your hired girl. Every editor ought to have a few weeks at the sea-shore, if he has to go disguised as a mosquito. —Camden Post. The pleasantest things that President Hayes can remember about the strike, is the way everybody kept wishing for Grant. The governors of the several states enjoy the proud distinction of being the only men beside the President who can issue proclamations. What this country wants is an insurance company who will pay half of a policy when the holder gets half killed. —Detroit Free Press. These are certainly very hard times. Everything is high. Even thermometers are higher than they have been at any time since last harvest. You can buy land in Texas for 47 cents an acre; but the trouble is that in some localities you can find use for only six feet of it. —Itochester Democrat. GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN was not interfered with by the strikers. In fact, nothing could stop him without killing him, and nobody seems to have time to do that. That fact that during the riots so many policemen were caught and kicked by the insurgents, has developed a strong The American Physique. Dr. H. P. Bowditch, of Boston, has been collecting data regarding the American physique as shown in American children. About 24,500 observations were made upon the pupils of the school in Boston and vicinity. These were tabulated according to nationality, etc., and from these tables graphic diagrams were constructed, exhibiting, with great clearness, the results obtained. Both tables and diagrams, together with Dr. Bodwitch's report, are given in the eighth annual report of the State Board of Health of Massachusetts. From the data obtained relative to the comparative rate of growth of the sexes, it appears that the greatest annual increase in height occurs for girls at twelve and for boys at sixteen years of age, while the maximum increase in weight is, for boys at the same age, and for girls one year later than the maximum increase in height. In other words, at about the ages of thirteen and fourteen years girls are (during more than two years) both taller and heavier than boys at the same age, though before and after that period the reverse is the case. From the tables exhibiting effect of race on size and rate of growth, it appears that, almost without exception, American children are both taller and heavier than children of the same age and sex whose parents are of other nationalities. In order to make the comparison more exact and eliminate the possible effect which comfort or misery may have on the rate of growth, it is necessary that observations be made upon children belonging to corresponding classes in the communities in which they live. To this end, the pupils of certain select schools in Boston were compared with those belonging to non-laboring classes attending English public schools and universities; and the two sets of figures show the marked superiority of the American boy, both in size and weight. Hence the superior size of American children may be taken as due partly to the greater comfort surrounding them, and partly to difference of race and stock. One of the most interesting portions of the entire investigation is that which deals with the relation of height to weight in growing children of both sexes and of various races. Growing boys are heavier in proportion to their height than growing girls, until the height of fifty-eight inches is reached. Above that point the reverse is the case. India The Indians largely given time upon adjoining are some that American history whose proper name Gargneque, and themselves Gann bear, whence they neighboring Alger or Mangwawoog, English into India said by Roger Wheaters," or literals Their device was cause they first the Five Nation council-fire.

George Francis Train was not interfered with by the strikers. In fact, nothing could stop him without killing him, and nobody seems to have time to do that. That fact that during the riots so many policemen were caught and kicked by the insurgents, has developed a strong movement in all the great cities for mounting the police. It is alleged that a western farmer wrote to Yale: "What are your terms for a year? And does it cost anything extra if my son wants to learn to read and write as well as to row a boat?" When a woman, passing along the street, suddenly reaches down for her trail, the movement is identical with that of the barefooted boy reaching down to feel his new stone bruise. A traveling agent for an eastern insurance company is in the city, laid up by the strike. He is so modest that he wears a veil, and blushes violently when he is called by his first name. "In the sentence, 'John strikes William,' remarked a school teacher yesterday, 'What is the object of strikes?'" "Higher wages and shorter runs," promptly replied the intelligent pupil. The Secretary of the Navy has countermanded the order for three monitors to go to Indianapolis. It is supposed that the low state of water in the Wabash is the cause of this change of orders. It is enough to bring tears to the eyes of a potato to see a Burlington man, on "lodge night," brace himself up against the office door and try to open a postal card to see what is in it and who it's from. It is now proposed to make arrangements for issuing a two-dollar gold coin, and the whole thing looks like an underhanded attempt to put gold entirely beyond the reach of newspaper men.—Bridgeport Standard. Horace Greeley died, broken hearted, because he was not permitted to edit the Tribune. We know lots of editors, out west, who are nearly broken hearted because they are compelled to edit their papers, while their rich subscribers go off to the mountains or sea-shore. The American potato bug smiles grimly as he reads how the whole power of the German empire was launched upon the one lone bug that landed in that country, and with a meaning wink he turns over to the commercial page and glances at the column, "departing steamships." Dom Pedro should have deferred his visit to America, if he wanted to study that most peculiar phase of republican institutions, which permits a mob to pound the head off a policeman with a rock, and restricts the policeman, in defense, to beating on a tin pan or making a loud noise with blank cartridges. The democrats and republicans nominated candidates for governor over in Ohio and denied them public schools and universities; and the two sets of figures show the marked superiority of the American boy, both in size and weight. Hence the superior size of American children may be taken as due partly to the greater comfort surrounding them, and partly to difference of race and stock. One of the most interesting portions of the entire investigation is that which deals with the relation of height to weight in growing children of both sexes and of various races. Growing boys are heavier in proportion to their height than growing girls, until the height of fifty-eight inches is reached. Above that point the reverse is the case. The difference between children of American and those of foreign parents is constant in one direction for all ages. Boys of German parentage, who are uniformly heavier in proportion to their height than American boys, form the exception to the rule. The deprivation of the comforts of life, curiously enough, exercises a greater tendency to diminish the stature than the weight of the growing child. And finally Dr. Baxter's conclusion "that the mean weight of the white native of the United States is not disproportionate to his stature," is, as far as boys are concerned, as applicable to growing children as to adults.—Home Journal. Blue Checks. In Ohio, a few days ago, I saw a girl in a span-clean checked apron that went around her waist with a string; the old fashioned sort, made of numberless and undivided checker-boards, with the little blue and white squares alternating with mathematical precision. The sight of that apron would have taken you back to an older wearer of a similar garment, who brought apples from the orchard in it, and white maple chips from the wood pile, and picked peas in it upon a pinch, and gathered eggs in it from the hay-mow, and spread it smoothly and decorously over her lap when she sat, and her knitting work reposed in it; and sometimes a cat, marked like her best Sunday comb, would assay a slumber upon its checkered existence and be whisked off in a second. You have seen that apron dung over its owner's head like "the knitted cloud" of modern times, when she went to the next neighbor's. That apron has wiped away the tears of your childish sorrow, when they ran down your face, and your clamorous tongue ran out at each corner of your mouth between the syllables of lamentation, and licked them in! You saw where she laid it when its work was done. You saw where they laid her when her work was done. There is a whole system of mnemonics in those blue and white checks.—B. F. Taylor, in Examiner and Chronicle. How Daniel Boone Died—The Paris, Kentucky, Citizen reproduces from the same paper of September 8, 1809, the following: "As he lived, so he died—with his gun in his hand. We are informed by a gentleman direct from Boone's, on Missouri coast, that early last month Colonel Daniel Boone weat to the deer-lick and seated himself within a blind raised to conceal him from the game; that while sitting thus concealed with his old trusty rifle in his hand, pointed towards the lick, the muzzle resting on a log his face to the breech of the gun, his public schools and universities; and the two sets of figures show the marked superiority of the American boy, both in size and weight.

The democrats and republicans nominated candidates for governor over in Ohio the other day, and the candidates had been nominated nearly half an hour apiece before it was discovered that one of them was a life-long known nothing and a rebel, and the other was a rabid temperance agitator and ultra abolitionist. We don't understand why it is that a constable with a search warrant looking for whisky in a temperance town, can search for five days and never get a smell, while a dry and thirsty man in the same town steps out of his office, walks briskly away, and in three minutes is seen emerging from an adjacent alley, wiping his perspiring mouth with his cuffs. EDITORS of the "great dailies" are now quite generally engaged in getting up "bills of fare for workingmen." The principal ingredient of their recipe being unbolted corn meal, and they manage to prove that a workingman can live on about six cents a week. Some of these dietists ought to be fed for a month or two on their own bills of fare. It is a hard thing to damn a man worth $100,000. And although we are pretty orthodox in our belief, we doubt if it can be done. If Dives really went to the bad place, he must have gone there of his own accord, his biographer would never send him there. But Lazarus—well, it has always been a wonder to us how Lazarus got where he did. If he had died in 1877, he never would have made it. Yesterday morning six car loads of mules passed through this city from the west, en route to the eastern market. The door of the first car was dragging along by one hinge, the other cars had no doors, the air was dark with flying splinters, one of the cars had about three square feet of roof, one of them had two boards left in the forward end, two of them were trundling along on one pair of trucks, and one car had nothing left of it but the hole the end window used to be in, and the cargo was doing its level best to kick the hole out. Nothing so awful has been seen in Burlington since the strike. HOW DANIEL BOONE DIED.—The Paris, Kentucky, Citizen reproduces from the same paper of September 8, 1809, the following: "As he lived, so he died—with his gun in his hand. We are informed by a gentleman direct from Boone's, on the Missouri coast, that early last month Colonel Daniel Boone went to the deer-lick and seated himself within a blind raised to conceal him from the game; that while sitting thus concealed with his old trusty rifle in his hand, pointed towards the lick, the muzzle resting on a log, his face to the breech of the gun, his rifle cocked, his finger on the trigger, one eye shut, the other looking along the barrel through the sight—in this position, without a struggle or motion, and of course without pain he breathed out his life so gently that when he was found the next day by his friends, although stiff and cold, he looked as if alive with his gun in hand just in the act of firing. It is not altogether certain if a buck had come in range of his gun, which had been the death of thousands, but it might intuitively followed its old employer's mind and discharged itself. The hypothesis being novel we leave the solution to the curious. FOR REFLECTION.—In all our large cities there are thousands of men and women thrown out of employment. If discontented farmers, farmers' wives, sons and daughters, who think the delights of city life something worth realizing, could walk through our streets to-day and read one-thousandth part of the misery and apprehension that haunt the hearts of all classes, and are making lines on their faces, they would thank God for their peaceful seclusion and abundance gathered in the garners of their homes. Few working people save money—particularly working girls, who, as a class, spend half of their income on dress. Young women flock through the streets with restless, eager, anxious eyes, with lips quivering with fear lest they fail to obtain employment. Boys and girls of the country, be grateful for plenty and shelter. You will, perhaps, never know how to value it until you want and cannot get either. How many of these in the city are country born; and how many would gladly go back to the homesteads for refuge, and yet many have not the means to get there. Farmers! Thank God for the harvests, and that you have unaid food for your families! Your lot is a happy one. Washington paper. Any fool can ask questions that we can't answer. Indian Names. The Indians themselves have been largely given to imposing nicknames upon adjoining tribes. Among these are some that are quite familiar in American history, such as the Mohawks, whose proper name was Agmegue or Gagmegue, who is a tribe called themselves Gaeningwari, that is, the bear, whence they were termed by the neighboring Algonquins tribes Mahaqua or Mangwawoga, a term corrupted by the English into Mohawks. The name is said by Roger Williams to signify "men eaters," or literally, "eaters of live food." Their device was a flint and steel, because they first proposed the league of the Five Nations, and struck the first council-fire. In council they were called Da-de-o-gn, that is, the people of the two policies, because a part were in favor of the league and a part were not. The name of Sionx, which has become so famous in our history, was given to the Dakotas by the French and the Canadians, and is an abbreviation of an Ojibbeway term, with a French form. It is abridged from Nadonessionx, the plural of Nadonaisi, which in Ojibbeway means "enemy." Seminoles is a Creek word signifying "wanderers" or "fugitives," a name given to a part of the Muscogee Nation, when emigrating in a body to Florida. Esquinax, according to Richardson, is a nickname applied to a people who invariably call themselves Innuit. This nickname is supposed by some to be a corruption of Coeur qui mauz, another form of which would be Il-qui-miaw, that is, they who mew, a phrase expressive of the shouts "Tey-mo" proceeding from the fleets of the Kayaks which surround the trading vessels on the coast of Labrador; but, according to Ersch and Greber's Cyclopaedia and other authorities, it means, in the language of the Abenakis, "raw-fish eaters," and was given to them as a term of reproach and an equivalent for savages. The old Scandinavian settlers in Greenland expressed their detestation of these savages in the contemptuous term of Skraelingers, that is, screamers or wretches. The Adirondacks, whose name is Iroquois, with the French prefix la, the (Ind. doron), a people who eat bark, and dak trees), and means "eaters of the bark trees," is the Mohawk term of contempt for the Montairnais (Fr. mountaineers) of the St. Lawrence, who were also called in Greek language. Paninashuah, that is, That Disease Breeds Disease Is a notorious fact. It is therefore of vital importance to check maladies in their birth, ere they have a chance to develop other and more dangerous disorders. As a means of checking complaints which, if allowed to proceed, finally disorder the entire system, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a medicine use of which cannot be too strongly urged upon the sick and feeble. The physical functions are regulated by it, it insures the acquisition of vigor by the debilitated, and it substitutes a cheerful condition of mind for glooms and despondency. Dyspapala, constipation, liver complaint, and kidney and bladder troubles yield to its remedial influence; it counteracts a tendency to goat and rheumatism, and invigorates the nerves. Moreover, it is derived from purely botanical sources, and in this, as in every other respect, is superior to the mineral remedies of the pharmacopoeia. The Fire King. One of the exhibits at the Pavilion, Beec's Patent Compound Fire Extinguisher is the only known compound whichights fire with fire. It is the invention of a German chemist, is a dry, solid mass put up in boxes varying from five to thirty pounds in weight, reached by a fuse from the outside, which can be instantaneously ignited by a match, burning coal or cigar, and when thrown into a burning room or any place wholly or partially confined, will almost instantaneously and with absolute certainty extinguish the flames. A number of the European State and municipal authorities and private corporations have adopted it and make its use compulsory. An infinite number of public and private tests have been made; sheds have been erected and smeared on the inside with tar and oil; tubs of coal oil, benzine, turpentine and like combustibles placed inside all set on fire, and when the entire inside has become a living mass of fire, a box of the compound has been thrown in, and in a very few seconds the fire has been totally extinguished, leaving considerable quantities of oil unconsumed. Some of its advantages—are as follows: Its portability, twenty pounds being sufficient to totally extinguish a fire confined in a room of 6,000 cubic feet, and smaller or larger quantities in the same proportion. It will extinguish fires which water will not such as burning coal oil, turpentine, spirits etc. It is absolutely harmless in its action; the gases generated in its combustion injuring not even the most delicate fabric. It does not explode, burns gradually, is thoroughly clean in its action; will preserve its efficiency for many years in any climate; is self-igniting, and is invaluable for use in mines. It was introduced in this country in December last, and since the first of January 60,000 pounds have been sold, and although it was only introduced here about 30 days ago, it is rapidly growing in public favor. Several successful tests have been made in this city, and during the coming week another will be made, of which due notice will be given.

Roasting Ears in England. The acclimation of Indian corn in England seems to have attained success after a long period of experiment and selection. For it is nearly or quite fifty years since Wm. Cobbett took some of the earliest sorts then known from this country to England, and soon had "Cobbett's corn" in everybody's mouth. Not actually in their mouths either. That has only late come to pass. Green maize, as they call our "roasting ears," is becoming a very popular vegetable there, and they have developed sorts that ripen in the southern counties and yield "green maize" further north. An English garden writer, in treating upon the enthusiasm with which garden hobbies are often pursued, says: "As to the Indian corn, the more it was suggested that it never would do, the more the devoted amateur persevered in growing it, and faith, with work, was, as it always is, in due time rewarded. Who shall paint the anxiety with which each swelling stem was watched, the delight with which the appearance of the plume of male flowers on the top of the plant was greeted, the admiration that accrued as the tender silken feminine filaments—heralds of the coming grain—were first seen hanging over the enwrapping leaves. But enthusiasm reached its culminating point when the fully ripened cobs rewarded the cultivator, and proved that maize may be successfully grown even in our unsunny climate." Why does this writer call the product "cobs" when the word "ears" is used in the Bible? They use the word "cob" over there in a vary reputable sense. Their best filberts and hardiest ponies are "cobs." They can't use the word "corn" for maize because with them it is a generic term for all sorts of grain. Other enthusiasts there are as usefully introducing tomato culture. This "berry" is grown against walls, and is trained, stopped, and generally treated as we treat a choice grape-vine to induce it. What Shall Be Done With Our Prisoners? It is getting to be a question difficult to answer, and yet one of vital importance. Nearly 1,400 convicts are confined at San Quentin, and not one-quarter of them are or can be employed under the present system. The State cannot utilize them, and it is with the greatest difficulty that business men can be induced to contract for their services; so instead of being compelled to support themselves, or being, as in some of the States, a source of revenue to the commonwealth, they are a heavy tax upon the property-holders. Their rapid increase in numbers is alarming. At the present rate, we shall soon be unable to build prisons fast enough to contain them. There a few are kept at work, some learning useful trades that may be a benefit to them when they come out, if they ever do. There are but two or three contractors that have made a success of it at the penitentiary, the largest of which is the California Furniture Manufacturing Company, who have been there for a number of years. Suffering severely at the time the Prison was destroyed by fire, they are now running again with the latest improved machinery and nearly their full complement of men, and the goods they manufacture proves that the very finest furniture can be made by prisoners when they are properly managed. A visit to their warerooms, 224 and 226 Bush street, will satisfy the most skeptical upon this point. Then why do not other manufacturers take hold of the matter, and by putting six or seven hundred prisoners at work, become public benefactors, by providing work and lessening taxes?—S. F. Bulletin. A Handy Workman. Mr. I. A. Heald, machinist, 514 Commercial street, San Francisco, is an artisan of the right stamp—a man of "good mettle" and "true ring." His work is ditto. We have known him for many years, and can recommend him fully. The Washington City Chronicle describes Mr. Heald's former shop in that city in the following happy manner: "We were truly amazed at the skill being there displayed. Models of the most intricate character, machines composed of many parts, and of various kinds of metal and wood—all, when set in motion, working smoothly and in perfect order. Every manner of tools are kept on hand with which to perform this difficult work. Models for patents and general machine jobbing are all executed, either in wood or metal, at short notice. Sewing machines, printing presses, musical instruments, and, in fact, anything composed of wood or metal, will be neatly and promptly executed under the immediate supervision of Mr. Heald himself, he having had a large experience at the Washington navy yard, and in other cities. Mr. Heald is also an accomplished musician, being leader of the American brass band." Scientific Press. Home Again. The return of Dr. Czapkay to the practice of his profession, and particularly to the specialties in which he has been so well known and esteemed, is a matter of public congratulation. The doctor is too well and favorably known by his long residence in San Francisco to need an introduction. Since he When the fully ripened cobs rewarded the cultivator, and proved that maize may be successfully grown even in our un-sunny climate. Why does this writer call the product "cobs" when the word "ears" is used in the Bible? They use the word "cob" over there in a vary reputable sense. Their best filberts and hardiest ponies are "cobs." They can't use the word "corn" for maize because with them it is a generic term for all sorts of grain. Other enthusiasts there are as usefully introducing tomato culture. This "berry" is grown against walls, and is trained, stopped, and generally treated as we treat a choice grape-vine to induce it to yield us its finest possible bunches. Color of the Red Sea. In a communication to the Bombay geographical society a writer confirms the opinion hitherto expressed by scientific observers that the color of the Red Sea is due to large portions being covered with patches, from a few yards to some miles square, composed of microscopic vegetables, or animalcules, particularly abundant in spring, and which dye the water an intense blood red; when not affected, however, by these organic beings, the deep waters are intensely blue, and the soal waters shades of green. Contrary to the usual belief, the water of this sea is not remarkably salt, the saline matter being only about forty-one grains in one thousand. The evaporation is equal to eight feet annually, while not more than one inch of rain or rain water is added in the same time, for although there heavy are rains on the shore,theyare sucked up by the parched sand. The result of such enormous evaporation is, according to this author, to produce a constant descent of heavy salt water to the bottom of the sea, and when this heavy fluid arises to the level of the Mocha barrier,it falls over in an outward current, and is replaced by an upper inflowing current—in this manner the whole of the water being changed once a year. True Politeness. — Polite youth: "Excuse me, sir, but you've dropped your cigar ash on your trowers." Crusty old Gent: "Well, sir, what then? You've had a fusse burning in your sleeve for the last quarter of an hour, and I never interfered with you!" Garnets stood the Southern hotel fire, at St. Louis, better than any other precious stones, while amethysts lost their color and became like opals, pearls were entirely ruined, diamonds crumbled to dust and cameos became as soft and brittle as chalk. Home Again. The return of Dr. Czapkay to the practice of his profession, and particularly to the specialties in which he has been so well known and esteemed, is a matter of public congratulation.
