The Science of Health.
PROSPECTUS OF
A New Independent Health Monthly

TTNHE object of it is to teach the people all that
| L pertains to the preservation of health, the
prevention of diseases, and how to live in order
to develop normally in body and mind.
1t is not Medical Journal, but Physiological
and Hygienic, family magazine, containing
just that practical information on the laws of
life and health, useful to every member of the
household, and cannot but be worth many times
its price to every family in which it is read.
| Quack medicines, and quack doctors will be
exposed, and swindlers will not be allowed to
impose on the people where the Science Of Health
is gener ally circulated.
This journal will be the exponent of all known
means by which health, strength, vigor and
long life, may be attained by using and regu-
BILE and SO vitality related to health and the treat-
ture, bathing, eating, drinking, clothing, re-
creation, exercise rest, sleep, electricity, Tacn-,
tal influences, social relations and all neERaal a.
gents and hygienic materials. All THAI is re-.
quired to keep we'll and to preserve hearth, is d.
knowledge of the uses and misuses Of these a.
gencies.
The Science Of Health will be the SesS ezpsnena
of the scientific principles of these subjects and
not the organ of any particular institution, or
of the professional practice of any one, but de-
voted to the best interests of the whole people.

A DANGEROUS PLAYrHrNe.-A parry
Of boys in the Eighth ward were ceie-
brsting Christmas by firing Oh Q 10Y
cannon, made of cast iron. They
would fill the Ordnance" to the muzsle'
touch it off and shout glory over the
noise they were making. They were
warned that they were using more tn an
a regulation" charge Of powder, ou'
they never cared. They filled it again
and rammed it down tight When II
was touched of this time the load
came out Of the wrong end, forcing the
breech-plug and driving it through the
front door Of the father Of the owner OF
the cannon into the parlor, where sew
eral persons were assembled, but ipJur-
ing no one. Tie door was the only
article injured except the gun-that IS
until the boys father could get out and
grasp his offspring lovingly by the nape
of the neck, and make black leather
strap he had in his hand whisk through
the air q time or two. We would say
tina, the boy was much hurt then, but
be ate his breakfast standing up, yes
terday morning. He didn't want q
chair and he has lost all interest in toy
cannons.

A NASTY NIGHT.-Last night was
one of the kind that sailors call dirty
A fine snow that found its way through
every opening in ones collar, that
tingled on ones nose and was driven
through the unbuttoned overcoat, but a
cold and searching wind made it any
thing but pleasant for promenading.
The heavy fall of snow as it lay OR the
sidewalks made waking around any
thing but desirable. Those who had
sleighs though seemed to enjoy it all
The street car horses had tough time
of it. The snow had 30 covered the
track and clogged the rails that going
up the several grades on the main line
was pretty heavy work. The railroad
trains were all behind time from three
10 four hours, being showed up. Thus
far we have had more rough weather
this winter than during any winter Tor
several years, and last night wasn't
much improvement on what we have
endured thus far.

THE ACCIDENTAL SHooTING.-We
mentioned, in Wednesdays REGISTER, a
case OF accidental shooting of one
brother by another, in Belmont county,
Ohio. We gave the name Of the in
jured man as Morris, as we received it.
This was a mistake. His name is
James Harris, and he has been en-
ployed as a fireman in the La Belle
mill. He and his brother were en-
gagged in hunting rabbits, and IS they
were crossing pond OF ice, James Har'
ris not being more than eight feet from
the muzzel of the gun in his brothers
hands, the weapon was discharged by
the cock catching in the brothers
overcoat buttonhole, as he slipped on
the ice, and the entire contents was re-
ceived by James in the arm. The bone
was so badly shattered that it was found
necessary to remove it from the shout
der to near the elbow. This operation
was successfully performed by DR..
Allen, of this city. We were INFORMED
yesterday that Harris condition is very
critical and that his recovery is doubt
full.
Since writing the above we learn that
gangrene set in on Wednesday, and
that Mr.. Harris died yesterday. He
leaves a widow to mourn her sudden
and sad bereavement.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
A Woman Roasted Alive
NO ONE NEAR TO AID HER,

1t is our painful duty this morning
to record the terrible death met by
Mrs. Thomas Daley, on Christmas
night, at her residence o. Coal street,
North Wheeling.
As pear az we can get at the facts
they are as follows: On Wednesday
evening about eight o'clock Mrs,
Daley, who is said to have been a very
neat housekeeper, was all alone in the
house, and was evidently cleaning the
dust off of the mantle piece with cloth
when her clothing was set on fire by
the crate below. This is evidenced by
the partially burned busting clo'h
being found lying on the floor in front
OF the fireplace.
After she found her clothing in a
blaze she screamed for help and ran
down stairs into the basement where,
overcame by the flames, she ceased her
efforts to extinguish them and sat down
on a stool and was literally roasted
alive. The water che had used in her
efforts to extinguisb the fire and the
burned stool frem which she fell after
death were found beside her in the base
ment.
About 10 o'clock her husband re-
turned home and stumbled over her
charred and blackened remains. Going
up stairs he procured alight and return
ing the terrible sight of his wlfes
roasted body, with her clothing all
burned off, her knees drawn up by the
fire, the hair all burned off of her head,
Offering q horrible and sickening
spectacle, was presented to his view.
He at once gave the alarm and in a
short time the place was filled with the
Mortified neighbors.
SQUIRE Colts was sent for to hold an
inquest over the remains. He impan-
pelled jury, who after an invest'ga-
ton returned a verd ct of death from
accidental burning. Fortunately the
floor of the basement is OF earth and
Of brick. Had it been wood the house
would certainly have caught fire from
the burning clothing of the unfortunate
woman.

PosTAL.-Since newspaper postage
has been reduced to one cent for every
two ounces or fractional part thereof it
is said that great many papers which
are placed in the Office never reach
their destination. Persons wrap up two
or three papers, frequently weighing
four or six ounces, attach cent stamp
and deposit the package in the post-
office, and that is just as far as it ever
gets. The Government agrees to carry
two ounces Of newspapers-and not
four ounces-for one cent.

Edward Higgins was charged with
having been disorderly on Christmas

nature, the parties were allowed to

Joseph Rothmier, on last Saturday
night, was at Rothacker's saloon.
When Jacob Groscloss came in, Roth
mier abused him and called him all

CHR1srnIs DAY-Christmas Day

CHRISTMAS DAY.-Christmas Day
psssed of very quietly in this city.
There was the usual amount Of jollity
in the various households when the
little ones opened their bright eyes, in
the morning, in astonishment at the
plethoric stockings, filled with candies
and toys and all Of dear old Santa
Claus gifts for them. Papa grumbled
and maybe swore a prayer or two at
having his morning nap destroyed by
the rub-a dub Of Johnny's drum, or the
blaar.blaar of a tin-trumpet in Wills
hands, while mama sat up 10 bed happy
because her children were so. There
we're the usual number of turkeys dis
sected at dinner, and the usual amount
of indigestion after it. People dropped
in during the evening for an hours
chat with their friends, relatives and
neighbors, and all were as happy as
they ought to be on this testsl day.
The weather was cold and people did
not affect the streets great deal. In
fact the city had a most decided Sum-
day appearance, and to the credit OF
the city be it said, there were fewer cases
of drunkenness seen on the streets than
one might see on any other day. Peo-
pie seemed to be enjoying the day in a
social, sensible and rational manner.
Those who desired attended church in
the morning. while those who did not
devoted the day to their families.
1t was quiet, orderly. well-epjoyed
Christmas. May all our readers have
many more such.
