Health Officers Statistics.

From the elaborate report of DIR. Nc
Kee, the Health Officer, which was
presented to the Common Council
yesterday we extract the following
points of interest concerning the SAN
itary condition of our city: During
the quarter ending October lst the
Health Officer has ordered the abate-
ment of three hundred and sixty nui-
sances, comprising every kind of dan
gerous and offensive accumulation of
garbage resulting from carelessness of
citizens and insufficient drainage. A
large number of these orders have
been complied with but many still re-
main without attention either through
neglect or imperfect sewerage facili-
ties. Only a limited mortuary report
was presented, in consequence of the
recent establishment of regulations
compelling reports to be made to the
officer. The first report of death sent
in under the regulations of the Health
Ordinance was dated August goth, and
the full number reported upto October
1st was thirty-eight. Sufficient time
has not yet elapsed to form the basis
of any statistical remarks or conclu-
sions. The report says:
Our city has been fortunately spared
from the ravages of contagious diseas-
es during the quarter Just now, how
ever, scarlatina has broken out again.
There are many cases in the city but
at present of mild type. Judging
from it's ravages last Winter we may
predict its equal severity this Winter
Unlike miasmatic fevers, it increases
in this country during the cold, wet
months. The mortality in our city
among children has been dispropor-
tionately great for such a salubrious
climate as ours and if the cause exists
in our badly ventilated and old adobe
houses with their imperfectly cleansed
premises, the vigilance Of the health
officers cannot be too faithfully APP
piled to correct it.
The number of births reported since
the first of August was fifty-nine or
since the Goth of August, forty-six-an
excess of eight over the number OF
deaths for the same time. We regret
that we cannot quote more extensive
ly from the Doctors report as it con-
tained many suggestions regarding the
measures most necessary to be adopted
for the preservation OF health and
cleanliness in our city. Among others
was recommendation for the estab-
lishment of city market which we
think deserves serious consideration
on the part of the Council. During
his term of Office DR.. Mckee has dis
charged the duties devolving upon him
in thorough and conscientious man
mel, and he deserves credit for making u
decided change for the better in the
sanitary regulations of our city.

The attention of our readers is di-
rected TO the advertisement Of the St.
Lawrence Publishing Company, which
appears this morning. Mr.. r. S. Law
renee, the manager of the company, is
an old and tried newspaper publisher,
having founded the following journals,
all of which, with the exception Of
two, are now in successful operation;
Clinton Counry Democrat, Camanche,
Iowa; Whiteside County Democrat,
Albany, ILL.,; City Enterprise, lie
Claire, iowa; Marion Herald, Marion,
Iowa; Daily Evening Express, Gales
burg, ILL.,; Aurora Chronicle, Aurora,
ILL.,; National Merchant, Philadelphia,
Pa; National Merchant, Burlington,
Iowa; Bloomington Journal, Bloom
ington, Ill.,; Normal Review, Normal,
H.; Sunday Locomotive, Sacramento,
Cal.
Mr.. Lawrence proposes to publish
complimentary edition, consisting
of two thousand copies of the "Golden
Songter," in November next, for gra-
tuitous distribution in our city. With
a few advertisements and some edito-
rial notes, the songster will contain
fine collection of the most popular
songs and ballads of the day, and will
be an acceptable visitor in every
household.

Distinguished Visitors.

Our city was honored yesterday by
q visit from the Chief of the Cabson
tribe of Indians, with number of his
band. This tribe has a local habita-
ton in the mountains towards the in-
terror of the State, east of Los Ange-
les. The party came in mounted on
their scrub, bronco ponies, looking
like anything but royal cavalcade.
One was attired in an army officers
blue dress coat, with prodigious brass
buttons and the skirts of a linen duster
peeping out from beneath. He was
gultlees of shoes, and altogether pre-
sented a semi i-barbariOus- military as
pect quite marvellous. Another had
on q large overeoat of Uncle Sans
pattern, faced with fur. Considering
the immaterial depression of the ther-
mometer, he was we'll protected from
taking a sudden cold. A third wore,
among other attirements of clvlliZa-
tion, q calico apron, of which he
seemed quite proud. But the only one
who made pretentions to anything
like gorgeous costume, was the
chief; and his style, like that of
many fashionable ladies of our day,
was all piled on his hat. That was a
triumph. 1t consisted OF an old
bruised and napless beaver, decorated
with high colored strips of cloth,
which gave it an appearance neat but
not gaudy, as was remarked of the
monkey with his tail painted green;
His highness, the Chief, looked
to be about twelve hundred
and ninety eight or ninety nine
years of age, and we doubt
not the number could be established
within wear or two of that if the
family Bible were produced. His face
was drawn into q labyrinth of FUCKERS
which would justify the belief that his
birth dated even thousand years
further back. When we saw him the
old Chief sat upon the curb-stone in
front of the city building smoking a
cigar which had been given him, and
looking extremely unassumlng as
though he was not aware of the TACT
that he was "big Injun." We learn
that the party make n yearly visit to
the city to show their good VIII to-
wards their white brothers. Many OF
the band come in at other times to
work for farmers in the nelghborhood
and to drink the Los Angeles whisky
and lodge in the calaboose

Each farm hand in New York pro
duced S676 in crops in 1870 or the year
before, rs shown by the census. In
Pennsylvania the return was $7l5; and
$50 more than in New York. In North
Carolina the yield per IabOrer $2I1, III
Tennessee 1910. These figures are
very suggestive. With less growing
weather in q year by more than Il
month, why should the average farm
hand in Pennsylvania produce $50 per
cent. more in crops than the average
farm hand of Tennessee And why ale
our crops worth less than half Of those
of New York per labOrer? Farmers
should study and solve these problems.
- Union and american.
This is our answer to the above stri-
Gus questions, The farm hands in the
North are working assiduously many
hours more than those in our State. On
Saturday andMOndays work is followed
less steadfastly than on other days. II
any Northern farmer has any purchase
TO make for his household, Saturday Is
always the day. III the nearest town,
he finishes his busines careful and
diligently right away and hurries back
TO his farm. He loses no time to argue
politics in the stores, or takes seat in
q lOungiug chair in a bar-rOom. Our
farmers, when they visit the town on
Saturday, are always followed 10y their
boys, youth or adult; hegeneraliy walks
around there idly, and leisurely starts
for home when the sun sets, aud 50 a
precious days work is lost. Often he
takes a rest on blue Monday, when the
farm labor does not press too hard on
him. Again, our farms are too extern
sive-skillful laborers are few and far
between-tO expect a paying crop. In
the North the farms are small, and bet
ter care taken by having an active and
speculative labor power. We are
obliged to employ stupid and sluggish
negroes for farm hands ; we do not pay
them much, and we do not get much
out of them. In the North the farm
labOTers are all white, educated intelli-
gent, and scrupulously exact in per-
forming their full duty according to
their remunerative pay. Add to that,
our farmers are too fond Of hunting eX-
cursiOns, the poorest farmer having
hardly a decent bed to lay on, possesses
valuable guns and revOIvers; but travel
five miles through q we'll cultivated
country in the North, covered with
neat farm houses, and not a gun is t. be
found there, or q siiver-mOunted six
shooter. Labor is sure to pay, but
hunting is catching the bear before you
sell his skin. s. L. SIGMAN.

Two American Magazines.


The excellence of American Magazines
has become SO well recognized abroad, that
one of the leading English Papers, the Lon
don WeekIy Register, in a recent issue, thus
speaks of .ScribneT'S Monfhty:
Z" We are constrained to own that Serb
ue7's MonthEy carries off the prize against
all our shilling monthly serias for brlllan-
CIV of illustrations and variety OF contents.
It is simply a wonderful shilling's worth.
Nothing can be more charming than the
cuts,-full offorce and Vigor; the light and
shade are managed with truly artistic
power Ont of its one and twenty orig inal
articles, we really do not know which TO
choose as best, for each and all are excel
lent"
Not only is ittrue that Scri5'er's Month
IN excels the English Magazines, but 1t is
The Best of the American Monthlies.'
In the extent, variety and artistic eXceI
lence of its illustrations of American
themes. it has never been approached,
much less excelled. 1t has 3 larger page
and gives greater variety in It's contents
than any other of the Standard American
Monthlies.
In literary character, and in the brillian-
cy and ability of its Editorial Departments,
it enjoys an equal pre- eminence.
Its conductors started with the definite
aim of making it the best Magazine az the
acorId, of which they have never for a
moment lost sight, and they point with
pride and pleasure to the Hay ana June
numbers, recently issued and ask for them
a candid examination, and careful COM
parison of their merits with those OF other
magazines; and they renew their pledge to
the public, to strive for still higher excel
lence in the future.
