Our Bed Rooms--Singular Statements
in Relation to Cholera.

DR.. L. S. Bell, an old eminent
physician of Louisville, a man of
vast requirements AID wide observa-
ton and experience, said, the other
day, at a meeting of the Louisville
College Of Physicians: "The cause
of cholera has never risen to any
great height perpendicularly. except
where it has been forced up. Nat
urally. it nno seriously affect the
second story Of any good residence.
Heights have always been, when
properly guarded, secur refugees
from cholera. Elevated buildings or
high walls have been perfectly eX-
empt, while ccntcrminous places
were ravaged. Moscow has been re-
pcatedly invaded in the quarters
along the low banks of the Moskwa,
but there has never been q case of
the disease in the elevated Kremlin.
The monasteries with high walls in
Italy, France and Spain have, with
great uniformity, escaped the disease.
"The cause of cholera acts alone at
night, and upon sleeping persons

So this distinguished practitioner
intimates that attention to our sleep

tant as the other precautionary steps

the newspapers. Look where you

Death of Hon. Lewis Cass.

The venerable LEWIS CAss died at
Detroit on Sunday morning, the 18th

native of New Hampshire, he came

made his forture and his fame. He
was Secretary of wal in President
JAcKsoN's Cabinet from 1881 to 1896.

to France / in 1916 became United
States Senator from Michigan ; in

for the Presidency, but was defeated
by General TAYLOR, the Wing candi-

The Power of Ciphers.

The enlightened man may have a
clear understanding of thousands,
and even millions; but much beyond
that he can form no distinct idea.
A simple example, and one easily sol.
we'd will illustrate the observation.
If all the vast bodies of water that
cover nearly e -fourths of the
globe were emptied, drop by drop, in
TO one grand reservoir, the whole
number Of drops could be written by
two words, eighteen sectillions,'
and expressed in figures by ~annexing
twenty-four ciphers to the number
eighteen, $4,000, 600, 900, 600, 600, 900,
600, 000.) Man might as well at
tempt to explore the bounds of eter-
nifty as to form any rational idea of
the units embodied in the expression
above, for although the aggregate of
drops is indicated by figures in the
space 0 fonly one inch and a half of
ordinary print, yet, ifeach particular
drop we're noted by a seperate stroke
like the figure l, it would form q line
Of marks sufficiently long to wind
round the sun six thousand billions
of times!
Now, observe, if you please, the
marvellous power or value which the
ciphers, insignificant by themselves,
give the significant figures IS. The
young reader will be surprised to
learn that the use of the cipher to
determine the value of any particu-
lar figure, which is now practiced by
every school boy, was unknown to
a%ncients. Therefore, among the
Greeks and Romans, and other ma
lions of antiquity, arithmetical opera
tons were exceedingly tedious and
difficult. They had to reckon with
little pebbles, shells, or beads, used
as counters, to transact the ordinary
business of life. Even the great CT
zero, in his Grafton for Roscius, the
actor in order to express three hun
cred thousand, had to make use of
the very awkward and no
tation, CcCIooo CCCI0oo CCCIooo. How
very odd this seems: I'm the year

Philosophy oflong Life.

But few men die of age. Almost
all men die of disappointment, pass
ionai, mental o bodily toll, or of nc.
cideht. The passions kill men some
times, even suddenly. The common
expression, "choked with passion
has little eXaggeration in it for even
though not suddenly fatal passions
shorten life. Strong bodied men die
young. Weak men live longer than
the strong, for the strong use their
strength and the weak have none to
use. The latter take care of them.
selves, the former do not, As it is
with the body so it is with the mind
and temper. The strong are apt to
run like a candle, the weak burn
out.
The inferior in animals which live.
in general, regular and temperate
lives, have generally their prescribed
term OF years. The horse lives above
twenty-five years the OK fifteen, or
twenty the dog ten or twelve the
lion, we are told, about twenty the
rabbit eight. The duration of life
in all these bear a similar proportion
to the time the animal takes to grow
to its full size. But man, of ali ami
mails, is the one that seldom comes up
to his average. He ought to live q
hundred years according to this
physiological law; but instead of that
he scarcely reaches, on the average
four times his growing period. The
cat six times, and the rabbit even
eight times the standard of measure
ment.
The reason for all this is obvious.
Man is not only the most irregular
and most Incorporate, but the most
laborious and Woodworking Of all ami
mails. He is also the most irritable
OF all animals; and there is a to
believe though we cannot tell what
an animal secretly feels that, more
than any other animal that man cher
ishcs wrath to keep it warm and con-
sumes himself with the fire of secret
reflections, besides this, man is the
only animal that makes a wide dc.
parture from those laws Of nature
which control life. lie takes on un-
natural and health destroying habits,
carrying them to the verge O: the
grave, and clinging to them with q
%tenacity which yields not even to his
better Judgment. The lower order
OF animals never do this. Instinct is
their guide, and the superior duration
OF life they enjoy is proof of the folly
Of man.
