GHaPPED HANDS.

In healthy condition the skin is kept
supple by an oily secretion, which answers
the same purpose as oiling leather. Dur
ing warm weather this secretion, IN CON-
mon with all the other secretions Of the
skin, is more abundant thanin cold. When
it is insufficient the skin becomes dry and
harsh and ON those parts of the body
where the skin is thick and subject to
motion as on the hands, 1t readily cracks
or assures. The amount of this secretion
is SO much reduced in cold weather that
the frequent washing of the hands with
soap causes them to chap readily, and this
the more certainly if the soap is not wash
ed off The alkai in soap is usually in ex-
cess, and this combines with the oily Sc
erection, and 50 depriyes the skin of its nat
ural lubricator. To prevent the hands
from chapping, then, be careful to wash
all soap from them thoroughly in clean
water. This will ordinarily suffice; but, il
not, it will be necessary to make good thu

me state IN which organic matter naturally exists IN
fertile soil, IN such away that the animal refuse be-
comes proxlmateIy available for the support Of the
plant, without undergoing ultimate reduction into sim.
pie salts and gases.
l nave next 10 mention a circumstance, of the
truth OF which | have complete evidence, both from
the statements OfthOse who have used the system, and
also from my own observation, but which was at first
unexpected and surprising to me. It's, that the mix
lure OF eXcrement with earth, after being kept a while
and then dried, has again the power which the original
earth possessed of absorbing and making inonensive
any stools and urine to which it is applied. This
power is so marked that it has been repeatedly alleged
TO me that the earth Especially if cIay) acts better a
second time than the first, and | can answer from nv
own observation, that earth used three and four times
over, with drying 1t 10 the proper stages, will render
excrement quite lnOfensive. The limits Of this power
DO not appear TO have been reached, but for expert
-ments sake the earth has been employed a dozen and
more times, when it must have come 10 have more
than half It's bulk of eXcrement, with the same result
on the objections, as at first, but with the other result
OF getting a manure too strong for use by ordinary
method.
This opinion has been abuudantlv verified in the
writer's own experience, the same earth having been
used seven times, without any apparent lesseniDg of
ITS deodorlzIng power just as we find the strongest
4deodorZIng power to be possessed by the soil Of a
garden which has been annually MANFRED for MANY
years. The offensive manure, on becoming decOmpoS-
ed, yields carbonace0us matter, which is one of the
best of all absorbents.
DR.. Buchanan states the following. concerning
the earthnclosetln public and other institptions;1
At Lancaster the national schools of St. John and
ST. Thomas are wholly supplied with closets on the
attached to the parish church are also TINS supplied.
, 1873-08-23

Earth is Supplied 10 these closets by the agents OF
Mr.. Garrett, the gentleman whose operations will be
further described in considering the working of the
system in the town Of Lancaster. The earth is
delivered to the cloSet-hOppers once a day only, by
back apcrtures to which Mr., G~arnett's mon have aC-
cess, and each detection is covered as soon as passed.
At ST. Johu's school the arrangements answered pey-
lectly we'll in every respect. Six closets, each Of
good construction, are here placed in d row, a wall
separating three which are used by boys from the
other three which are used by girls. The seats are all
clean, and from no closet is there any smell or other
~ofense.
The Dorset County school at Dorchester has
eighty-three boys, and here earh-clOsets began 10 be
substituted for water-closets at the end Of 1865, the
reasons for the change being similar to those at the
Lancaster school. Here the whole of the day urine,
(the night urine going with sIop-waterO as we'll as the
stools, is dealt with under the earth system. Four
selEactiog closets are arranged, two over each end of
a Water-tight vault, with the intermediate space form
ed into urinals. The vault is twelve feet long, six feet
wide, and seven feet deep. Earth, artiGcially dried,
IS stored "a weeks supply at a time) in the shed be-
hind the closets, and from this store the hoppers of
urinals are supplied four times a day. About a ton
a week is furnished, being at the rate of four pounds
a boy daily, an amount rendered necessary by the plan
OF dealing with about two-thirds of the urine as we'll as
with the stools.
Wimbledon Common, IN England, is the annual
camping ground of the British volunteer forces, where
larger numbers of men pass a fortnight every summer,
under canvas, circumstanced in all respects as they
would be in a field campaign. Prior TO the introduc-
ton of the earth-closet into their encampment, no
device had been found by which their latrines could be
made even tOlerably safe. They were not only a
nuisance to the camp, but an offenSe to the ~neighbor-
