why DO Children Die?

fIn answer to this question, the Medical
Record holds the following languages: h2 gjl
The reason why children die ID, because
they are not taken care of. From the day of
birth they are stuffed with water, suffocated
in hot rooms and steamed'in hot bed clothes.
So, much for indoor, When permitted to
breath o breath of fresh air once q week in
summer, and once or twice during the colder
months, only the nose is permitted to peer
into daylight! A little later they are sent out
with no clothes at all ON the parts of the body
which most need protection, Bare legs, hare
arms, girted middles, with aninyerted UNI
bre1la to air and chill the other parts of the
body. A stout, strong man goes, out on
cold day with gloves and overcoat, woolen
stockings, and thick, double-soled boots, with
cork between and irubbers over. The same
day child of three years old. an infant of
flesh and blood, bone and constitution, goes
out with shoes as thin as paper, cotton socks,
legs uncovered to the knees, neck bare, an
exposure which would disable the nurse, kill
the mother outright, and make the father an
invalid for weeks. And why? To harden
them to mode of dress which they are never
expected ITO practice To accustom them to
exposure which, a dozen years later would he
considered downright foolery. To rear chill
dreni thus for the slaughter pen, and then lay
it tothe Lord, is too bad y We don't think the
Almighty had any hnnd in it, fo ait9~tii@.&fi is

took into their service Professor Newman.
He never used the stuff; and the arrangement
was that he should take good smoke, get
sick, and then describe his horrible sensations
in cour4:e of lectures. The Professor got
his pipe and smoked about half an hour, but
singuiarly enough, he did not get sick at all /;
and, SO far from being utterly disgusted, he
just keeps on smoking, and the society folks

middle joint. AS soon as Mr.. Champlin found
he was bitten he mounted horse and started
for town, as no whisky or other remedy was
close at hand, His hand and arm began to
swell rapidly, and the pain was intense. After
riding a mile he stopped at a neighbours and
procured glass of alcohol which he reduced
with water and drank. This probably saved

SHREwsBURY.-Col. Homer B. Sprague, Of
Brooklyn, N. Y, delivered his lecture on
"Riches" last Saturday evening in Shrewsbury
the following brief outline of which is sent us
by correspondent, who says it was listened to
by an appreciatye audience. He began by
showing that the actual worth of the ablebodied
men in a state, far exceeds the valuation of all
the real and personal property in the state-even
the money value set upon man is not incon-
siderable; a smart slave sold for $500; a north
erner would do three times as much work. with
out the risk of running away, earning at least
$500 per annum, which is the interest of $4,000,
which in turn may be set down as the cash
capital every working man represents in
the state; and in some states So 900 is taken rs
the sum TO be paid by railroad companies for
carelessly killing man. A region remote from
civilization, and worth comparatively nothing,
suddenly rises into value when taken possession
Of by company of workers including the va
rious vocationS, with their tools and food suff-
cient till crop is husbanded. Towns, too, should
welcome a laboriug man who comes to live in
their midst, and reckon HIM as an increase of
$4,000 TO the capital stock Of the town. Annap
oils was settled long before Baltimore, but the
land owners in the former wholly refused to sell
to new corners and settlers; the consequence
was, that to-day Annapolis is but a small place.
Baltimore pursuing a different policy towards
its immigrants, is to-day fifty times as large as
Annapolis In brief: 1st, cultivated intellect is
riches; ID, bodily health is richcs Sd, courage
is riches; 4th, to state selfsacrifice is riches;
5th morality is riches; 9th, to an individual
and state precious memories are riches; 9TH,
good books are riches; SIh, lastly, the fine arts
are riches. These themes the speaker amply
elucidated with classic illustrations from both
ancient and modern men, each in order More
favorable laws should be made for the married,
those who purpose to raise up children; and
bachelors ought to be taxed more than the mar.
ried men, and, if they persist in living single,
should finally be disqualified from holding
office, or even voting. The Roman Cornclia
was cited as a good example of mother, who,
when asked where were her treasures, replied
pointing to her children, "these are my Jewels"
An eloquent tribute was also paid near the
close OF the lecture, to Washington and Lincoln.
The fifth and next lecture of the course be-
fore the farmers club in Shrewsbury, will be
delivered by Rev. j. D. E. Jones, Thursday eve
