SANDER.
TFoR THE UsIos AND JOURNAL

Mn. EDITOR:
Can slander he satisfactorily accounted
for? Can those addicted to II help It?
But the consequences are no less injurious,
whether inborn or acquired. The mer-
chant loses custom by 1t; mechanics, jobs
from which they have promised their fam
lilies many an added comfort, sometimes
their daily bread. Physicians lose prac-
tice, which In many cases they see trans
ferred to those inexperienced or inefficient,
or the young physician, well-read and con-
cicntious, denied all chance of experience
from the same source, without which, our
most skillfil, could not have attained to
the positions they justly occupy. Teach
ers and Clergymen do not escape. The
highest aspirations are checked, tho most
hopeful hearts chilled, by the repetition OF
slander from some friend, more fond than
iudicious. 1t really does seem to be In
the make up of some organizations; for
even that blessed balsam prescribed by
Divine inspiration, "to cleanse our ways"
does not always eradicate this stain(may
be full dose Is not taken). If 1t Is or
ganic, then 1t Is waste Of time to con-
tend with II, hoping that one Of the de-
velopments of the future will be kind OF
vaccination, whereby we may look for
more social security.

been made, and the eyes looked through
the green waters at me In q way that
made my flesh creep. The child had died
easily, It's little white face giving out no
sign of terror.
Il was q good while before fastened
the line to them and gave the signal to
haul up, and felt 30 uneasy that I was
mot long In following. This q ono Of the
drawbacks to any feeling Of curiosity n
diver might otherwise have. lnever 90
down the hatchway or the cabin steps
without thinking Of dead man floating
there. When the Lao In Belle sunk on
st. Clair Oats the engineer was caught In
the rushing waters, and no trace was ever
found Of his body. His wife came to me,
hearing that was to 60 down to the
wreck, and asked me to find the body II
possible. I remembered this when / went
down, and I went cropping through tho
engine room In momentary expectation OF
encountering the body. / looked % long
without finding It that got nervous, and
had started for the ladder to 60 up, when
I felt something strike my helmet and
give way. and q chill went dancing over
me rs thought the dead body was Mt
hand. But on reaching up, found that
I had run against tho fire hose, the end OF
which was hanging down, and what i 80
dreaded was still hidden beyond my sight.
A diver does not like to 60 down more
than hundred and twenty feet. at that
depth the pressure Is painful and there Is
danger of internal injury. / can stay
down for five or six hours ut time Mt q
hundred and fifteen or twenty feet and do
q good deal of hard work. In the wa
ters of Lake Huron the diver can see thir-
ty or forty feet away, but the other lakes
will screen vessel not ten feet from
you.
Up here you seldom think Of accident
or death, but d hundred feet Of water
washing over your head would set you to
thinking. A little stoppage Of the mir
pump, leak In your hose, n careless &C.
ton on the part Of your tender. and the
weight of mountain would press the
life out OF you before you could make q
move. And you may foul your pipc or
line yourself. and In your haste bring on
what you dread. I often got my hose
around stair or rail. and though am
not called cowardly, and generally release
It without much trouble, the bare idea OF
what slender thing holds back the
clutch Of death on my throat, makes q
cold sweat start from every pore.

Rain Water q Preventive Of Chol-
era and Summer Complaints.

"With great unanimity medical reports,
from different countries In regard to chol-
era and like epidemics, state that attacks
were rare. and still more rarely fatal, In
families and communities which used only
rain water for all purposes, even In tho
most severely afflicted localities Of both
Europe and America; while hcsc cpl
denies wcrc as uniformly fatal among
those who used only earth water; 20 that
the conclusions arc unmistakablc and Inn.
portant that rain water prevents while
earth wxter provokcs epidemic attacks. A
French commissioner Of health, writing
upon this subject some years since, said:
II has been slsGrly asoertainsd. both In Paris
and elsewhere, that rain water b . prophylsetic
antidots 10 ebolers and that The dissass wss
not proved an epidemic In any city where rain
water was excluslvely used.
Andhe goes on earnestly to recommend
''to NIL communities tho general use OF
rain water. ut whatever cost Il may be So
cured"
