-"HIGHJINNICKs" IN New
YoRK.--To give an idea of this igno-
rance, let me recall, as nearly as I can,
a little episode in the investigation ;
1t happened that the late Judge Whit
ing, who had charge of the investiga-
ton on the part of the Citizens Asso-
citation, put on the stand a young ply
sician, who testified that the health
officers, or wordens, or inspectors,
were men utterly ignorant of the first
principles relating to the public health
which they were appointed to preserve.
In order to refute this, the head of the
Health Department at the time
brought on the stand, in perfect good
faith, several of these health officers.
Toward the close of the examination Of
the Gomez of these gentlemen, Judge
Whiting asked this question "Did
you have case of smallpox in your
ward - and he answered, eyes, sir"
Judge Whiting: "Did you visit the
patient ?" Witness "No, sir"
Judge Whiting "Why not?" Wit
ness (. sFor the same reason that you
would not; that [ was afraid of TAX
ing it myself" Judge Whiting !:
''Did the family have any care? 2"
Witness Yes, sir; they were high
jinnicks' (hygienics); they doctored
themselves. As the other witnesses
came in, Judge Whiting used this as a
sort of test question--as a sort of key
to unlock the system, and show the
utter ignorance that prevailed III every
department of it. Every witness was
asked: "Well, have you any 'highjin-
hicks ir your ward? Some of the
witnesses thought they had some
thought they had not 4; some thought
they chad them pretty badly seme
thought they had them in some parts
of the ward some thought they had
them in other parts of the ward. At
last the Judge asked witness, who
had been answering his question in
this way; s'Do you know what the
word 'highjinnicks' means?" and he
replied; eyes. sir, ! do; it means a
bad smell arising from dirty water"
Of course the exhibition was vastly
amusing, but, after all the gufaw was
over, sad after thought necessarily
came to every thinking man as to the
condition of the great metropolis
which allowed all its dearest material
interests to be placed in such hands as
this. It may be said that this was the
result of political system, but it was
not. Had there been 1.-THE of the
instruction which should have prevail
ed-of that simple knowledge that
should have existed on this subject
such thing would have been impossi-
bic, no matter what the political exi-
gences or arrangements were -Prsst>

I know of but one remedy against
the fear of death that is effectual, and
that will stand the test of either a sick
bed or of a sound mind--that is, a
good life, clear conscience, and honest
heart, well ordered conversation =
to carry the thoughts of dying men
above us, and so to live before we die
as we shall wish we had when we come
to it.-Norrts.

Love is a thing of four letters,

Uphold truth when thou canst,
and for her sake be willing TO be hated;
but know thy individual cause Is not
the cause of truth, and beware that
they are not confounded -Goethe.
