The Health Of San Francisco.

The annual report of the health off,
Ger of San Francisco contains some in
teresting statistics. For the last year,
ending June 80, 3641 deaths occurred
in that city, being a little more than
nineteen deaths in every thousand of
the population. This is remarkably
low rate for city of the size and char
acter of San Francisco, and is much be-
low the average death-rate of American
or European cities, which is about 20 to
the thousand, Havana standing the
highest, with the enormous death-rate
of As; Montreal next, with So; and
New York following, with 80. Next to
San Francisco. the healthiest city of
much pretension on either continent is
Cincinnati, whose annual death-rate is
20 to the thousand. But San Francisco
exhibit, and explains away part of
this mortality as not strictly chargeable
to it. First, it shows that the Chinese
increase the death-rate by importing
disease, and by living in close and filthy
quarters. The death-rate among the
Chinese themselves, for the last year,
This report will create q new feeling
against the Chinese, and already the de-
mand is made for stricter quarantine
and internal sanitary regulations, to
compel them to be more clearly and
wholesome in their mode of living.
While the average number of persons
each house in San Francisco is only
six, that of the Chinese quarters is
about twelve, or nearly as high as in
New York, and to this. together with
their habits of living, the extraordinary
mortality among the Chinese is attrib-
uted. Second, San Francisco complains,
with apparent justice, that its death
rate from consumption does not, natu-
rally, belong to it. It will surprise
many that the proportion of deaths
from consumption in that city is almost
as large as in Brooklyn or Philadelphia,
and larger than in Cincinnati, for Cali
| fornia has been accounted one of the
best resorts for consumptives. This is
easily explained, however, by the state
| ment that of the deaths from consump-
ton during the past year, more than
two-thirds were of foreigners. The
fact, undoubtedly, is that large num-
Der of invalids linger along with this
| disease in the eastern states until exist
ence is not much longer possible, and
| then go to San Francisco to die. Sub
| tracing the two elements of the Chi
nese and the consumptive emigrants
| from the account, therefore, San Fran
cisco claims a yearly death-rate below
seventeen to the thousand, and this
would make it, probably, the healthiest
city of its size and commercial impor-
lance in the world.

Mr.. Alfred Since, in letter printed
in the London Times, raises a question
of great importance in regard to the
utilization of sewage, the application of
which to the soil has hitherto been re-
garded as an innocuous way of disposing
of it. During the last spring the COWS
on Mr.. Smee's land at Wellington, Eng
land, were, without his knowledge, fed
with sewage grass. Immediately the
butter became so offensive that it had to
be sent away from the table. The use
of sewage grass was thereupon discon-
tinued, and the butter became as good
as before. The experiment has since
been repeated by Mr.. Smee's direction,
with precisely the same results. The
milk obtained from the COWS fed on this
grass has a rancid smell when it is
twenty-four hours old, and the butter
made from it becomes bad in a day or
two, no matter what care may be taken
in preparing it. If milk is thus affected
by the food of the COW, there seems to
be no reason why the special typhoid
poison which may be lurking in the
sewage should not be communicated to
the grass. And if the product of sew
age farms is poisonous at secondhand,
should IL not be equally so at nrst-hand,
and what would be the effect of eating
vegetables grown on land thus MANFRED?
One of the main causes of Napoleon
Ills popularity among the peasants
was the succession of splendid crops,
which followed each other year after
year during his reign. Napoleon III. I'M
derstood this matter well, and when a
short crop was imminent he took time
by the forelock, and had so much grain
imported into France that the price re-
manned stationary. During NJ. Theirs
first year, grain rose in price, and the
laborers' loaf rose four sous in the
pound. The rich harvest of last year
alone saved him from total disgrace
Although the price remained as he left
it, there was no complaint, but now
that an extra sou has been added, there
is a general cry of alarm.

What to Do with Old Books and News
papers.

NOT long since a gentleman visiting a
charity hospital, remembering that he had
some illustrated papers in his pocket,
gave them to an old man who could not
read. He would have forgotten the cir
cumstance if he had not been reminded OF
it by one Of the physicians of the institu-
ton whom he met afterwards. 'He has
not yet finished studying those pictures,' ~
continued the doctor, after mentioning the
incident. "Do you remember the dull,
vacant countenance of that man? You
would be surprised now at its spri ght-
illness, and when l spoke to him of the
change he said: %, Doctor you can't
know what a JOY these papers have been
to me. | have lain on this bed week after
week. | have counted again and again
all the squares in this counterpane; | can
shut my eyes and place my finger on any
particular figure in it. I know every
speck on the walls Of my room. | can
tell just how many bricks in the wall Of
the opposite building can be counted
through ny window, and have been so
tired until got these papers
Is not such result worth the expendi-
ture of little trouble, postage stamp
and newspaper wrapper? Generous
hearted people often complain that they
can give nothing, because they have no
money to bestow; and yet there are so
many tender charities that require very
little money, and sometimes none at all.
If travellers would mail books and jour
mails to some charitable institution, instead
of leaving them scattered in cars and
hotels, the benefit conferred would be out
of all proportion to the small amount of
trouble requisite. Stay-athome readers
can take their discarded books to some
poor unfortunate they may chance to know,
or send them to those who are interested
in public charities that they may dispose
of them And even many invalids lwho
are generally great readersl will, doubtless,
be glad to learn that although apparently
able to do so little for themselves or any
one else, they have this opportunity af-
forded them of so greatly helping other
invalids, more unfortunate than them
selves, to an enjoyment for which they
are too poor to pay

Suicide.

IF man is nothing but an animal, if this
life is all there is of his existence, and the
question simply concerns the amount
comfort to be got out of it in this tran
sient world, why, let him do as he likes
with himself and his friends but he who
regards the present scene as only the fore
ground of an infinite spiritual feature,
through which, if one tread faithfully the
prescribed passages of pain as well as
pleasure he shall find himself in higher
pathways, as consequence, at the last
we say he will take life whether it be con-
venient or inconvenient, and hold it as the
gift of God, inalienable by any reason of
infrmity or suffering, or helpless disease,
or cost to other life through necessary
ministry. The doctrines of Prof New
man and Mr.. Tollemache are unchristian
doctrines. They carry us back into bar
barism-back into the darkness in which
children killed parents that became a bur-
den to them, and mothers strangled in
fants that could only inherit their own
sufferings 1t is an infamous criticism of
the divine wisdom, an insult to Provi-
dence, an assault upon the safeguards of
society, and reflection upon human ma
ture and human destiny, from which all
Christian manhood recoils as from the
touch Of serpent.-Dr. Holland, in Serb
ner's Monthly.

+ Two WEEKS ago an account was given
of dog that had been carried seven hun
dred miles somewhere at the West, but
not liking the place, alone, guided by a
faculty quite unknown to man, he footed
his way to his old loved home without
making inquiries, consulting guide
board, or travelling out of the way, at
the rate of nearly hundred miles each
day.
An old horse purchased of farmer in
Vermont many years since, was shipped
at Seabrook, Conn., with others, to the
West Indies for grinding cane. A storm
occurring in l. ong Island Sound, the deck
horses were washed overheard and sup
posed to have been lost. The old Vermont
er, however, reached land in the darkness
of stormy night, and finally was found
standing at the barn-door Of his old home.
The horse had never been far from
the town till sold, therefore could
not have been familiar with the way.
Carrier pigeons perform feats as swift
messengers through the air, because they
are in a hurry to reach home. However
far they may be carried confined in
baskets, they invariably speed their way
without ever resting on the voyage till
they reach the place dear to their affec-
tons. In 1919, with view to ascertain
their speed, a pigeon was carried from
Antwerp to London, and there liberated
The bird was at its cote, having flown
one hundred and eighty miles, in
straight line, in just six hours.
Horses, mules, dogs, cats, and all the
migrating birds, find their way as un-
erringly as the carrier pigeon does; but
how they do it is beyond our ken. Some
imagine birds see tclescopically one or
two hundred miles when high in the air,
and over the tops of mountains. But
the theory throws no light upon the
movements of mule that found his home
in Brazil, hundreds of miles over region
where man could hardly move, having
neither path TO follow nor companion
to lead the way. Science, therefore, has
something more to do to clear up this
mystery.
A writer in the Quarterly Reute,o ad-
vances the theory that ''they have a
certain sense Of the magnetic currents,
sufficing to afford them sort of internal
mariners compass marking the direction
in which they travel We know that the
magnetic currents affect the needle, and
the hypothesis that they may also affect
living frames with special organizations
seems in no way incredible; wAlle the
fact that dog, who can find his own
way for a hundred miles in the open
country, may lose it in five hundred
wards in a town, seems to point to the
multitude of streets turning at right
angles as the cause of confusion to a
sense which simply indicates straight
direction."-N. Y. Commercial Aduertfser.
