The Health of Farm erS.

Farmers have unequaled natural adj
vantages for health, strength and
longevity. The statistics of disease
and tables of mortality, however, are
against them. This is due, not to their
vocation, but TO their misuses Of 1t.
No class, as Il whole, is probably SO ut
terly reckless of health condition.. So
far as our acquaintance with the hab-
It's of farmers is cOncerned-and 1t has
been extensive-lt cOmpels the conciu-
sion, as a rule, that the dietetic-hablts
of farmers are worse than those OF any
other class who have the means ol
choosing for themselves. Fried dishes
several times day, with several tried
articles at each of the three meals, Il
one of their common denominations,
dried beef, old cheese and pickles are
among the common relishes, while
lard and Saieratus make their richer
dainties indigestible ana caustic. We
have seen on farmers table, fried
FORK, fried potatoes and fried grlddIe
cakes for breakfast; fried ham, tried
hominy and fried parsnips for dinner,
and fried sausaffeS and fried dougbnuts
for supper-all the frying done in lard.
No class is so troubled with canker,
erysipelas, tumors, cancers and humors
as farmers; and the eXcessiue use of
pork, lard, fine flour, rich cakes and
greasy pastry, are enough to account
for it. In dietetic habits, our farmers
are sadly misled by the agricultural
journals, nearly all of which pander to
their prejudices, and fiatter their NOR
bid appetites by recommending swine
breeders and pork-eating, while they
fill their kitchen column with recipes
for making "rich and palatable" pud-
dings, pies, cakes, and other compli-
Gated dishes, which no stomach ever
carried inside a human body could
long tolerate without death or dyspep-
sia. The essential need Of our farmers
is plain, wholesome food, properly
cooked. This would give them much
more available strength for work, re-
lieve them of many of the distresses
and expenses of sickness, add many
years to their lives, and render old age
"green" and normal, instead of dry
and decrepit, as it is in most cases un-
der existing habits Heath Journal.

Rreaking ND old Pastures,

A correspondent in the city, who
amuses his leisure hours with the man
agemert of a farm, asks: SIS there any
advantage to our country in keeping
up old pasture fields as in the old coun-
try? There they arc not tempted to
turn up sod for Indian corn as we are.
Is this the reason for their partiality
for old pasture fields, and for their rari-
ty with us? | have beautiful six
acre field without a stone in it, with a
turf like lawn, ON which have kept
a few sheep and cattle for years, and
which l intend to keep for permanent
pasture, but my farmer is always urg-
ing me to let him put it in corn; 1T
would give me such a beautiful crop,
says he."
Farmers in the old country probably
have as much temptation to plow up
old pastures as We have, and with the
somewhat uncertain tenure of tenants
at-will, they doubtless need the re-
straint of the landlords interest to pre-
vent their doing so. We are usually
landlord and tenant rolled into one,
and our hope of immediate profit
shonld always be tempered by our fore
thought as permanent owners. have
but one word of advice Tor any one
who proposes to break up good grass
land for the sake of growing a crop OF
corn, that is-"Don't." In the first
place to man who needs grass, wheth-
er for hay or for pasture, nothing is so
valuable as well-sodded field. The
only reason for blowing it should be to
seed it down again, and this may near
ly or quite always be obviated by other
means. The harrow, fresh seed, and
above all, top-dressing and kind treat
ment in the way of good blanket of
fall growth to carry it through the
winter, will renovate and perpetuate Il
sod on any land that is fit for grass at
all. If you have such field as you de.
scribe, cherish it as the apple of your
eye. 1t may take years and years to
restore it if you ance break it up

The Site Of the Capital OF the
United. States.
From the Washington Chronici,

From the Washington Chronicle
We need not recite again the caus es
which let Congress to decide upon a
segregated city for the capital and led
Washington to choose this spot. Here,
January 10, 1891, the die was caat, and
the father of both his country and its
capital put his signature to the deci-
sion. In his sixtieth year he hurried
from Philadelphia to Georgetown, over
Maryland roads, so bad in that month
of March that he had to descend the
Eastern Shore and cross the CheSa-
peeke to Annapolis, in order to meet
the commissioners by the day OF ap-
pointment. Thence, on rainy Tues
day, he rode with them and others
across Rock creek, and entered upon
the landscape ordained for the city;
rnd the last forces he ever commanded
in the field were the engineers and
pioneers who were laying of the site.
More than two years afterWard the
cornerstone of the Capitol was laid.
Mover %, 1906, when the great chief
was no more, Congress assembled on
Capitol Hill and President Adams,
White House, addressed them in his
incoSdSS lHtu COi-otaISy anu cSii- SON-
ernment" might ever be attribute of
the Federal city. In the year 1902,
May 3, Washington city was incorpo-
rated, and twelve years afterward was
deprived of all of its public buildings
by the British incendiary. That ap-
parent calmity was made the pretext
for discharge of all the arguments
against the site which secti0nalism or
querulousness could adduce, but the
moral sense of Congress and the cOun-
try would not trifie with the work Of
nearly a quarter of a century, and the
discouraged inhabitancy, rallying
from their ruins, set up new capital
attheir own expense. But the general
depression eff rho nation during many
years fell with seriout effect npon the
seat of Government, AID the neigh
boring port towns of Baltimore and
Alexandria diverted to themselves the
commerce ami people of its vicinity.
In 1895, the railroad from our fromer
ueighbor reached Washington, and put
us nnder its commercial domination
for thirty-five years, and the same year
the Long bridge put us in cOmmuhjca-
tion with Alexandria, but teo late to
reinspire that city with the love of
Congressional government. 1t was
retroceded to Virginia in 1916, with all
the territory on the Virginia side, and
the people on the Maryland shore were
left with mutilated boundaries, and
exposed to the mutual compassion and
dislike of both the South and the
North.

The Fear of Death.

The dread of death is universal and
instructive; and yet how many rush
into its arms Suicide is most i'm
pressive fact in this connection. The
disappointed lover, the discouraged ad-
venturer, the suspected clerk, the child
wounded in its selflove or fearful of
punishment, faces the great enemy and
invites its blow. Every now and then
the community is shocked by suicides
so unprovoked and so frequent as al
most to persuade us that the natural
fear of death is passing away. The
inconsistency is easily explained.
Lord Bacon says there is no passion
that will not overmaster the terror of
death. For passion is thoughtless;
occupied wholly with an immediate
suffering, it makes no estimate of any
other kind of pain; absorbed in an in
Simultaneous sorrow, it takes no other
sorrow into account. The mind enter
tains but one passion at a time, wheth-
er it be joy Or fear. But men are not
always or generally undert the influence
Of passion. Ordinary life is calm, cal
culating, conslderate, and it is to ordi-
nary life that death is so terrible.
1t is the thought of death that is
terrible, not death. Death is gentle,
peaceful, painless instead of bringing
suffering, it brings an end Of suffering.
1t is misery's cure. Where death is,
agony is rot. The processes of death
are all friendly. The near aspect of
death is gracious There is a picture
somewhere Of fearful face. livid and
ghastly, which the beholder gazes ON
with horror, and would turn away
from, but for the hideous fascination
that not only rivets his attention, but
draws him closer to it. On approach
ing the picture the hideousness disap-
pears, and when directly confronted it
is not any more seen; the face is the
face of an angel. 1t is picture of
death; and the object of the artist was
to impress the idea that the terror of
death is an apprehension. Theodore
Parker, whose observation of death
was very large, has said he never saw
person of any belief, condition or ex-
perience, unwilling to die when the
time came. Death is an ordinance of
Nature, and ike every ordinance of
Nature, is directed by benefcent laws
to beneticent ends. What must be, is
made welcome. Necessity is beauti-

The Burlington Free Press, which
says it is not the organ of Gov. Smith,
alluding to the report of the legislative
investigating committee concerning
the managers of the Vermont Central
railroad, declared that every member
of the committee knew that the mana.
gers were innocent of the charges pre-
ferred against them, and would have
said so if they had dared to. 1t does
not inform its readers whose influence
prevented the committee from making
an exculpatory report. If there is a
public sentiment in Vermont which
prevented the committee from making
a white washing report, it is crafty
ing evidence that the people Of that
State are more honest than some Of
its prominent citizens seem to be, and
sustains what the 1raveller has said
on this point. The discredit resting
upon the State in connection with rail
road management is due to the subser
viency of a portion of the press, and
the weakness of the Judiciary, rather
than to corruption among its people.

CAUSE AND REMEDY OF GRAY HAIR
AN intelligent medical writer has
recently asserted that an undue pro-
portion of lime in the system is the
cause of premature gray hair, and ad-
vises to avoid hard WATER either for
drinking pure, or when converted into
tea, coffee, or soup, because hard
water is always strongly impregnated
with lime. Hard water, may, how
ever be softened by boiling it; let it
become cold, and then use it as a
beverage. 1t is not generally known
that liquid that will color the human
hair black and not stain the skin, may
be made by taking one part of bay
rum, three parts of olive oil, and one
part of good brandy, by measure. The
hair is to be washed with this mixture
every morning, and in n short time the
use of it will make the hair beautiful
black, without injuring it in the least.
The articles must be ofthe best quality,
mixed in a bottle, and shaken well
before applied.

(TO BE CONTINUED.)

EXCESSIVE SMOKING late num-
Der of the New York Medical Gazette
contains an article on the i'll effects
produced by the excessive smoking of
tobacco, from which we take the fol-
lowing extract;
"Besides the necessary effect upon
the head, of the marked irritating ac-
ton, is the superabundant secretion of
saliva. and of the humors salulary in
their nature, destined, when in due
proportion, to maintain the first acts in
the digestive process. And these
abundant secretions not usually at the
cessation of the stimulus become alter
ed, with remarkable dryness Of the
fauces, of the tongue, and OF the eso-
phagus, which obliges the smoker to
seek new means of stimulus, in alco-
holic drinks, which increases the prim-
itivcly injurious effects of tobacco.
That ptyalism continued for long
time should be an efficient cause of in
jury to the animal organism, no one
will deny, when they reflect that by
these means are abstracted from the
blood those principles which in normal
quantity are necessary to the integrity
of the organs and functions, and that
if the ordinary secretion of any gland
is continually increased, the humor Sc
creted will be altered in its elemental
constituents, and consequently become
less adapted to those offices naturally
resel ied to them. Every time, said
Boerhave, speaking of saliva, any one
makes useless waste of this secretion,
he is deprived Of a great inciter of the
appetite and a great aid to digestion.
The chyle, to the preparation of which
this fluid does not concur, is of bad
quality, and the blood remains more
or less altered. To this authority
many Others can be added, but let
that of Cullen, Tissot and Bernard suf
fice."
The article proceeds to consider the
injurious effects upon other parts of
the system, and particularly the appa-
ratus Of respiration.
