EARTH CLosETs Should the earth closet
be generally ssed? 1t should be introduce
ed everywhere. The ordinary farm house
vaults are very dangerous. The Builder
says: 1t is now nearly four years since the
dry earth system of sewerage-the invention
of Rev. Henry Moule, of Rockingham, Eng
| Iand-was introduced into this country I'M
der the auspices OF the Earth Closet Com
pany of Hartford.
| During the whole of this time the system
has steadily won its way to the favor of the
people. All question as to its entire eff
cacy has long ceased, and the only remain
ing obstacles to its universal adoption are
the fancied one Of the difficulty of providing
earth, and the very serious one of the indif-
| ference OF common people to the dangers
and annoyances Of the common vault, which
still stands Us an emblem of our inherent
| barbarism.
We have said that the question of earth
supply is fancied obstacle only, and the
experience of all who have used the earth
closet will fully sustain our opinion. The
quantity of earth required for years sup
ply is trifing, and even this may be replaced,
in whole or in part, by the coal ashes which
| constitutes an almost universal annoyance
in the household. Compared with the mere
labor of going to closet at a distance from
the house, the labor OF providing earth is
nothing, and the fact that the product of
the closet constitutes the best, the most
powerful and the most clearly of all ma
nures, will, wherever the value of manure is
at all appreciated, more than compensate
for the little trouble that is required. The
writer has now used the Moule system for
over three years, and with closets in con-
slant use-three in the house and one in
the adjacent street.-the has never the least
occasion for the preparation of the earth.
The ashes of the house fires furnish, with
out cost, all the material required for per-
feet disinfection. l'
The popular Indifference to cleanliness
and decency is more serious obstacle to
the rapid adoption. of the earth-closet among
the masses, but is powerful agent for over
coming this now active in the frequent out
break Of typhoid and scarlet fevers, and 9TH
er diseases whose fatality is in almost exact
proportions to the neglect of proper sanitary
measures. H s.bR -
IHo "dtcT-closet, WHICH, although SO Oan-
gerous to health and 90 wastefal Of manure,
has achieved an almost universal popularity
from the decency, comfort and convenience
it secures, must give way to the earth-closet,
which, with all of its advantages, has none
of its objections.
AS TO that "relic Of barbarism which
disfigures our country homes with its sug-
gestIve architecture, and whose sitting
sumner stencil and chilling winter draughts
make Us daily ashamed of our human needs,
it is doomed to disappear as fast as the peo-
pie shall reach point of refinement equal
to that of the cats and dogs.-Hsrald Of
