TYPHOID FEVER.

The following is quite sensible
and will bear second and third
reading:
The discovery of the cause and
cure of this scourge the world owes
to sanitary science, and not at all
to the medical profession, except
SO far as q member of the latter
may be identified with the pursuit
of the former. The medical man
labOrs to cure the disease the SAN
iIary scientist labors to prevent it.
The later labor is the one which
meets with the greatest success,
and is deserving of popular atten-
ton. 1t removes the duty of pre-
venting the spread or even the ex-
istence of this disease from the do
main of mysticism and the jargon
of Latin prescriptions, and places
it in the hands of sanitary authori-
ties in general. and in keeping of
every Individual in particular.
The discovery amounts to this i:
Exterminate filth, and we eXter-
inmate typhoid fever.
For popular guidance there are
three or four points which may be
elaborated. They are:
L. Drinking water must be abso-
lutely free from the drainage of
night soil and other impurities.
=. The excrementory discharges
of patients suffering from typhoid
fever will communicate The disease
and heDcc must be at once disin-
fected.
2. The air from sewers and wa
must not be permitted to
escape, so as to be breathed, for it
is a fruitful source of the origin
and the spread of the disease.
These three points thoroughly at
tended to by every family will re-
duce the existence of typhoid fever
to the minimum. The action of
the individual should be supple
in case of towns, by meas
ures which will cleanse the cutters,
secure perfect sewerage and pre-
vent the atmosphere from being
polluted by the admission into it
of noXious Vapors. In the case of
farm houses the great cause of ty.
phoid fever is found in the pollu-
ton of the air and the drinking
water by emanations and drainage
from the barn yard.
In fine, typhoid fever, like chol-
era and smallpox, is simply the in
dignant and forcible protest of ma
ture against uncleanIiness. Let
every one breathe perfectly pure
air, drink perfectly pure water-let
people completely disassociate
themselves from filth, and typhoid
fever will be disease of the past.

The True End of Life.

Not what we can get or enjoy, but
moral culture is the true end of life.
Men ask, What have you got What
de you know? What can you do?
God asks, What are you? On the
answer to that question hangs our
destiny. Then all things, all incl
dents, all gettings, all losses of this
life, should he measured by their
outcome. the resultant effect on our
character. A possession is good if
it makes US generous, if, in the use
of it, we develop all those right fac
uIties that pertain to its handling.
But if not, woe to the day on which
the windfall came. Whether it
shall prove to US q Godsend, or q
curse, depends entirely upon our
use of it. A loss may be good If
through its means we develop those
graces that come from the patient
endurance of life's hard and heavy
things. In either case we are not to
estimate them by what they are in
themselves. This is but a superb
cial, and thus a false view to take.
What they make of us is what de-
termines their value. One of the

eyes," said, "but I've got the prac-
tice of gping without it." A botan.
list makes a fine collection of leaves,
and flowers, and grasses. When
done, the fire takes it. But the best
part-the drill and practice and
knowledge acquired in making the
collectisn-these are left, and they
are worth more than q dozen col.
ections. The practice and study Of
collecting makes even q botanist

Paria. the mother of noYeltie

Paris, the mother of novelties,
has just sent out q new ife-saving
invention which, it is said, viii
render drowning inexcusable. It
consists of a double shirt-like gar
ment, that reaches from the knees
to the throat, and is fastened in
front by a double row of buttons.
Inside of this rubber tube is coil
ed q sufficient number of times to
contain air enough, when inflated,
to support the body when in the
water. The tube terminates at the
neck with q mouth-piece, which is
closed by q metallic button. 1t is
expected that when a person goes
near the water he viii wear this
garment; and then, if by ill-luck
he tumbles in, ali he will have to
do will be to blow up his jacket
and calmly float around until help
comes.

NEWSPAPER CRIPPLES.

The country is being overrun
with a lot of needy, or dead beat
printere, who have lost situation
through incompetency. Some man
who is not a printer at all, goes
into a town, induces the people to
believe that newspaper will be
great thing for them; gets bonus
of $500 or 81 600, or the promise
of public printing, and forthwith
procures some old press, and old
worn type, and sets up an office
and issues q paper. But the fellow
is a cripple and can't walk alone,
and so he borrows a crutch of n
house in Chicago, st. Louis, or
elsewhere, in the shape of a ''pat-
emit outside" and thus with one leg
which is generally sprained, ring
boned, knock-kneed and handy
shanked, he attempts to walk.
The crutch and the leg are not of
the same length, and the attempt
to walk is a ridiculous up and
down movement, which exposes
the crippled condition of the con-
Germ. The crutch is usually much
better, as a crutch, than the leg
is as a leg; indeed, in most cases
the latter is little better than a
sham, and really looks less like
leg than the crutch ITSELF
But these lame concerns, none
of them able to walk alone, are
springing up all over the country.
Like quack doctors and bogus
LAWYERS, they amount to little
more than a nuisance, and tend
greatly to bring legitimate news
paper publishing into disrepute.
What would be thought of a car
penter, who every time he obtain
ed job would have to go off to
some distant city to get mechanic
who could do the business better
than himself, to come and aid
him? What would be thought of
a merchant, who, whenever a
dress pattern was called for could
only furnish the lining, and would
have to send off to a city to get
the body of the dress?
There is just as much good
sense in these cases as in that OF
the publisher of a newspaper
sending off to get half his paper
printed in a batch with a hundred
or five hundred others just like it
The carpenter and the merchant
have too much pride to go on
crutches, and when they can not
stand alone will quit the business
or form a co partnership by which
they can carry on the business
and walk or stand alone.
| A cripple is an object of pity
except when the lameness is vol
untary, and then he is not. If:
man has bnt one leg and is com
PEELED to use 8 crutch, he is en-
titled to sympathy; but if he hai
two legs, and out of laziness or Il
deceive, cramps one of them "a
and goes on q crutch, he is no
. only not an object of commisera
ton, but only merits contempt

POLITICS AND THE
GRANGE.

The Kansas Farmer speaks a lit
tie piece under the above heading
that is worth hearing:
We Lave insisted most earnestly
that partisan politics should be
kept out of Grange. We have stat
ed frequently our belief that the
permanence of the Grange depend
ed upon the observation of its ex-
pressed rule against political dis
cussions and political action as u
Grange. On the other hand, our
readers will bear us out in the pO-
sition that we have urged upon pa
irons the more thorough Observa-
ton of their political duties. We
hope to see such thorough and
earnest political action on the part
of the members of the Grange this
fall as has never been seen. We
have not urged this because they
were Patrons but because they
were citizens. While it Is true that
there is to be found in the Grange
only those engaged in agriculture,
and therefore a unity of interest
exists such as is not found i'll other
societies, it is also true that every
shade of political opinion may be
found IN the Grange, and wide diff
ferences of opinion upon the pub
lie issue of the day. 1t may be
even true, that upon the selection
of men for office there might be no
great difference of opinion, bnt
there are many grave reasons why
the Grange as a Grange should not
undertake to carry forward politi-
cal contests or to place in the field
a political ticket which would be
known as a Grange ticket. We
have from the first believed that
there was wide field of useful
ness for the Grange upon which
they have as yet scarcely entered.
AS soon as ii departs from the line
of work so clearly laid down in the
principles of the National Grange
and in the written aud private
work of the order, to indulge in
the varying and bitter discussions
which follow upon political action,
just that soon will the first step be
taken toward disintegratiOn. The
influence of the present farmers
movement upon the politics of the
country will be in many ways ben
eficiai. 1t will make possible fear
less independent action on the part
of voters. 1t will compel the selec-
ton of better tickets local and
State. To these ends we hope to
work and to see the farmers of
Kansas aroused to just apprecia-
ton of their responsibilities as citi-
Zens.

PR AMERICAN
EDIFICES.

A careful examination of some
extensive ruins, found some miles
east of Florence, on the ella river,
has been made. Lieutenant Ward
was the first explorer who came
upon the remains of a one impOs-
ing architectural pile. 1t has been
deserted perhaps for more than a
thousand years, and has been
crumbling away in the wilderness.
The principle ruin is parallelo-
gram fertilization, 600 feet in
width by 1000 feet in length.
The walls, which were built of
stone, have long been overthrow,
and are overgrown by trees and
vines. In many places a mere
ridge indicates the line of the
wall, the stones having disap-
peared beneath the surface.
Within the inclosed area are
the remains of a great structure
200 by $50 feet, constructed of
roughly hewn stones. In some
places the walls remain almost
perfect to a height of some twelve
feet above the surface. On the
east SHE of the granda casa there
are two openings of an oval
shape, which doubtless served the
purpose of windows. On the in
ner side of the walls of the palace,
for such it doubtless was, there
are yet perfectly distinct tracings
of the image of the sun. There
are two towers at the southeast
and southwest corners of the
great Enclosure still standing, one
of which is twenty-six and the
other thirty-one feet high. They
have evidently been much higher.
as the broken tops and the
amount of debris near the base in
dictate. A few copper implements,
some small golden ornaments

with perforation in the middle
some stone utensils and two rude
| ly-carved stone vases. much like
those found at Zupetaro and
Copin, in Central America, are al

No excavations have been made
as vet to determine fully the ex
tent and character of these ruins
The ruins are situated in q small
plain, elevated nearly 200 fee
above the bed of the ella. Jus
west of the walls of the fortified
tions there is a beautiful stream
of water, having Its source in til,
mountains, which crosses thu
plain and, by a series of cataracts
falls into the ella about two mile
below. The fragments of potter,
and polished stone reveal a con
dition of civilization among tn,
builders of these ruins analagou
to that of the ancient Peruvians
Central America and Mexican M
tions. The country in the vicini
ty of this buried palace is partiC
ularly wild and unusually desc
