4 writer in one Of the November magazines is
willing to make the American people perfectly
henlthy. All that they have to do is to follow
his directions. Breakfast is to be taken in two
instalments, at and II o'clock. The deceptive
potato, with its Is per cent Of water, ia to be no
longer planted, but supplanted by tho dioscorea
japonica Of China. We are all to sleep in single
beds; we are all to breathe pure air; we arc all
to live out of doors far more than we do. It is
said that since Napoleon's improvement of Paris
made life in the open air d pleasure, the average
duration of life there is greater By ten years.
The great trouble with all these schemes for pro-
noting national health is that it would
be necessary for the nation to do
nothing except take care Of its health.
Still, there are many valuable suggestions in
these schemes. They all dilate on t he benefits
Of ventilation, and very rightly. But few Of our
public halls are decently ventilated, and not one
out Of ten thousand private houses is built with
the least regard to- this matter. This lack of
good air is the only excuse for the bad health Of
American women. Their puny pa1eness is 9TH
erwise, as Froude says in the woes Of the Irish,
'entirely their Own fault" They, by being at
home, have an opportunity to take care Of them
selves which is denied to their husbands and
brothers. They wilfully neglect it: and their ain
finds them out.

The mysteries and miseries OF the servant
girl question are sufficiently obvious to all house
keepers without repeating the painful Details
They have reached pitch of desperation which
requires causes to be sought rather than conse-
quences to be explained. When, in every house
hold, it is matter of extreme doubt whether the
housekeeper has any rights which the servant
is bound to respect then it is certainly time for
thoughtful people to investigate the reasons
therefor Hitherto it has become the custom to
lay the blame at tile door Of the servant. This
1ouaekeeperhas considered herself the aggrieved
party, the martyr upon whom these Affections
have been sent for some inscr1table purpose.
As she wraps herself in her mantle of patience
and bears her sut1erings with what courage she
may, she never dreams that she, herself, may be
responsible, in part, for the pure cussedness
Of the servants. and yet is not this the case
Will not this servant-girl problem yet be solved
by the education OF the housewife
At present, it seems to. be- taken for granted
that every woman cen manage household;
that, without any education, Rhe has kuowl-
edge of cookery. can take care Of and repair
clothes, keep the domestic ACCOUNTS with pru~
dence and economy. prevent leaks in the kitchen
department, rear children. and do the duties Of
the sick room It is difficult to see, however,
why this should be assumed. Take the girls OF
the rising generation. How many mothers are
competent to instruct them in these duties; OF,
if they are competent, how many take the
trouble to do SO? In what school can the
young girl learn anything of household
duties? What advantages do boarding
houses and hotels. where go many young women
spend their days, offer for domestic education !?
1t is certain that the female sex is naturally
adapted to housework: but the natural adapta-
tion is Of very little consequence without ac-
companying education to give it practical shape
and working. Notwithstanding this fact, and
that other prime fact, that, in marrying, man
expects to find home, with d woman at the
head of it capable of taking charge Of it, no
Systematic effort has yet been made to give
woman the education necessary to fit her for the
duties of home. Among the middle classes
there are women to be found who take to house-
keeping naturally, and these either
| do not need servants, or, if they have
them, have good ones. The daughters Of the
| laboring classes, mrny Of whom are destined to
be servants, Of course never have any education.
The daughters of the wealthy classes are equally
| unfortunate, and are never educated to be
housekeepers. The result is, that when these
tyo classes meet in the relation Of mistress and
servant, the ignorance of the one takes the form
of dornineering impcrtinence, and the other the
form Of constant complaint and helpless misery
Ignorance above stairs is inevitably accompanied
| by incompetence and inpudence below stairs.
| It has ARRAYS seemed strange to us that the

4 dep1orab1e outrage has recently been com-
mitted in the Astor Library of New York. One
OF the persons admitted, in accordance with the
generous custom Of the Trustees, to seat With
in the alcoves and to free access to al the books
has committed the triple crime Of cutting out Of
o rare magazine an article, which he rewrote as
his Own, and then sold as original to tho pub
fishers Of another magazine Happily such des-
ecration is infreduent. No such instance has
occurred before in the Astor Library, and the
report Of the Librarian Of the Boston Public Ii
brnrv shows that books may be allowed to circu-
late gratuitously among the people, without
malicious, destruction or theft. The. remedy
adopted by the Trustees to prevent the recur-
renee Of such miahaps. is rather singular. Every
a1coye-reader is to be required to enter in
little pass-book the title Of every work he con-
suits. In this way the books, it is thought, can
be watched But this is no safeguard at all.
Any person who would mutilate
book. which ia freely put at his
service, would not hesitate to omit to record in
his uass-book the title Of any work he had thus
not noticing the mutilation, and recording the
volume on his pass-book, would be liable to be
charged with the offence committed by his pre-
decessor. The experience Of the British Muse
um and tho Art Galleries OF Europe shows that
there is no absolute prevention Of such outrages.
Despite the sharpest surveillance, there will be
occasionally a knife thrust through some valuable
painting as recently happened to the Royal Gal
lery at. Dresden, or leaves out. from GONE pre-
cio1s volume. Choice must be made between
two evils either to exclude tthe public from
these refining resorts, or to submit to come such
occasional depreciation. The latter is the lesser
evil, and it is found that with greater freedom
there comes greater self-respect and regard for
the rights Of others,

At last the spot where equal and exact justice
is administered, and where the quality Of mercy
is not strained, has been discovered. The local
ity ia the rural district OF Galicia, in Austria,
where the modern forms Of law, jury abuses,
and Judicial corruptions hare not yet penetrated.
The case Was that OF q man who brought
charge Of levity of conduct against his wife,
who had been somewhat indiscreet with third
party, who bore the character Of 8 gay deceiver.
The Magistrate heard the case, and promptly
sentenced the indiscreet woman to receive
eleven blows. and to pay the Court two gallons
OF schnapps for the trouble she had caused it.
The injured husband was sentenced to six
blows, on the ground that if he had looked after
his wife properly she would not have been indis-
Greet, no trouble would have occurred, and the
Court would not have been bothered with
his domestic broils. As the woman
had no money, it WAS further
ordered that be should pay the costs, and hand
over the two gallons Of achnapps. The gay de-
ceiyer was the luckiest one OF the lot, as nobody
could find him, and he therefore escaped pun
ishment. The decision Of the learned Ga!itian
Judge, while it may seem very primitive in form,
is remarkably sensible in fact, and if the spirit
OF it were infused into the Judicial decisions, in
some Of our moro enlightened communities, We
should have fewer injured husbands running
every day to the courts with their petty griov-
ances, fewer divorces granted, and fewer OF the
digraceful domestic developments which are 80
frequently set forth in the columns OF the daily
journals, The Ga1atian Judge, if he be not o
second Daniel come to Judgment, is at least a
very sensible fellow. =.

TWO CENTURIES OF ILLINOIS.

It is strange that no great romance has ever
been founded on the history Of Illinois, Long
fellows Evangeline ought. it seems, to have
drawn the attention Of some ready pen to the
rich store Of material hidden in that history, and
Parkman's volumes should surely have taught
American authors that there we're themes in it.
enough and to spare. There is LaSalle's heroic
journey, in 1910, around the great lakes to the
site Of Chicago, his crossing to the DesP1aines,
his voyage down the Illinois. For the sake of
his daring disregard Of dangers by field and flood,
from savage beast and more savage man, We can
pardon this fling at the Chicago River, engraved
on his map Of 1872: 1.-THE largest vessels can
come to this place {Chicago] from the outlet Of
Lake Erie, where it discharges into Lake Fronte-
nae [Ontariol; and from This marsh into which
they can e1ter, there is onlya distance of thou
sand PAGES to the River La Divine lDesPlaines],
which can lead them to the River Colbert Nils
eissippi7, and thence to the Gulf Of Mexico"
There is, again, Marquette's voyage down the
Mississippi, in June, 1673,-that voyage from
which he brought back such marvellous tales of
the great river, anu alnoss AZ H feloua sAe1e1ie7
Of the devils be had found painted on the rocks
near the present site of Alton, and which ended
in his Journey up the Illinois and his portage to
Chicago, then, according to Franguelin's map,
an Indian village Of eighty houses, with the un-
couth name of Cheaguomeinau. But this author
ity may perhaps be doubtful. 1t cannot be de-
MED that it makes the "R. Chekagou 10" INTO
the Illinois. Or our romancer can weave into
his story the settlement of Kaakaskia and ca;
hokia, in 1878; can picture the reckless French
wanderers, as savage as the sarages among
whom they lived: can sketch the wild life they
led careless OF all law, "taking, SO their detrac-
