Disastrous FLOODS AT THE SOUTH
Louisiana is suffering from the most
disastrous food she has ever experien-
ced Agreat portion of the State, espe.
cialIy that south of Baton Rouge, is un-
der water. For the past month the
Mississippi and its tributaries have been
steadily rising till they have attained a
greater height than has ever before been
known. In effect the floods will be i'm
finitely more disastrous than any before
experienced. Before the late civil war
the planters drove their slaves and stock
to the highlands, and, on the subsldence
of the waters returned in time for late
crop, which was always Of an excellent
character. Now the freedmen stampe-
ded on the first appearance of the flood,
eaving stock to perish BY the thousand.
Seventy-five thousand people are drown
ed out. destitute and homeless. Urgent
appeals are made for aid to public and
private charity. Congress has before il
a n easure for the relief of the submerg-
ed district. At the principal cities lib
eral subscription lists have been taken

judging from the following staten ants
culled from some of the Southern news
papers: The Governor, a fortnightago,
pardoned twenty-seyen convicts out, Of

too poor to keep them. They marched

show that regularity of habit conduces
not only to health but to long life. In
a york by DR.. Tarbell, entitled.
" Sources of HEALTH" we find the fol-
lowing table, which is full of suggestion
to the reflective mind:
Of 100 clergymen, only AZ attained
the age Of 70 years and upward.
Of 10Ofarmers. only 40 attained the
age of 10 years and upward.
OF 100 commercial men, only 35 at
tanned the age of 70 years and upward.
Of 100 military mon, only SO attained
the age of 70 years and upward.
Of 100 lawyers, only 20 attained the
age of 70 years and upward.
OF 100 artists. only % attained the
age of 70 years and upward.
Of 100 teachers. only 81 attained the
age of 20 years and upward.
Of 100 physicians. only "a attained
the age of 70 years and upward.
The average age attained by the cler-
gy is greatest Of all, doubtless because
the labors of minister, though con-
slant and unremitting, are more regular
and less exciting than those of any 9th
er profession in the list; and moreover,
if he accepts his calling in the right
spirit he is sustained by firm faith of
recovering "a hundred fold in this life.
and, in the world to come, life everlast-
ing" Nothing kills faster than worry.
Next to the minister stands the farmer
in his chances of long life. Breathing
pure air, surrounded by the peaceful in
fiuences of nature, sure of some return
from his labor, Independent in his mode
of life, and, by force of circumstances,
regular in his physical habits, it is not
that he should often reach
the age allotted to man upon earth. 1t
has been proven that bealth ispromoted
by exercise Of the intellectual faculties;
and we doubt not that when farmers as
a class do their work as much as possi-
BILE with their brains and labor. saving
and as little as possible with
their muscle, the average of long life
with them as class will be larger.
The great secret of cures wrought at
the various Health Homes throughout
the country is as much in the regularity
with which all the rules of hygiene are
as in the rules themselves;
hours are allotted for exercise, for rest,
for sleep, for eating, and enforced OBJ
servance of these soon restores the dys-
peptic, the hypochondriac, the worn out
and exhausted patient, to health and
strength again. The same regimen
adopted at home would doubtless pro-
duce substantially the same effect. 1t
is misfortune to any family not to be
compelled to have meals at certain hours
siuce those who can eat what they please
slip into carelessness and irregular hab-
its in this respect. We have known sew
eral persons in the city who, eating at
have seriously undermined
their health by not being systematic and
punctual with respect to their diet. The
human body is, to all iLtents and pur-
poses, as much machine as locomo-
tive. 1t must be duly supplied with
fuel and water. kept well fabricated,
thoroughly polished and clean, and CIV
en- time to cool off its coppors, and then
there is no computing how much work
can be gotten out of it. Those, be it
ever remembered, get the most who are
systematic and perfectly regular IN all
their physical habits.

SoSpsuds and Shade Trees.

To aquestion from IS. Addison Co.. VT,
skiing our opinion asto thepropriety offeed
ing soapsuds from the ash room to cows.
We should say unhesitatingly il is both
filthy and dangerous practice Cows which
are not properly fed and cared for, may &C.
quire morbid appetite SO they will drink
almost any kind of dirty, filthy water.
Sink water containing salt, may, if exposed
to cattle needing salt, get t hem into filthy
habits. Better give them their salt pure,
obtain il.
Recent Investigations tend to prove that
the seeds or germs of typhoid fevers and
other diseases, may be carried from the
kitchen or wash room, through the bodies
of cows and returned in the milk to again
develope in the Human family. Much of
the trouble experienced by cheese makers
is caused by the milk coming to the
factory in a tainted condition. And this
tainted condition is produced by allowing
COWS in hot dry weather to drink poison,

wholesome milk from our cows. we should
provide them with pure water and good,
clean food. They should also be kept cool
and comfortable, should be protected from

The scalp, by its use, becomes white

critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,

MANNER OF MILKING IN JERSEY. Mr..
Geo. Z. Waring, Jr., giving some notes of
his visit to the jersey and Guernsey Islands
says one custom prevails on the former
island which might with advantage be gen.
orally adopted. Ii i, the manner of milk
ing the milk in both islands, being drawn.
not into pals, as with US, but into jug
shaped cans, the opening being about four
inches In diameter. In Jersey this is COW
cred with cloth strainer, tied on so loose
ly that ii says down several inches into the
neck OF the can. In the bottom of this bag
there is laid shell to receive the force OF
the stream as it is drawn from the teat.
The milk flows over the shell and soak :
through the cloth. This is certainly the
most cieanly manner in milking that could
be devised. The wet cloth prevents any
foul odor of the stable from reaching the
mass Of milk. and any hair or dirt from the
udder Is at once held back, instead Of re-
naming in the milk until il is carried 10
the dairy to be strained. The cloths are
easily kept clean and aired, and the system
is in all respects a simple and CONNIE nda-
