HEALTHFUL DWELLINGS. Among the
indispensable requisites of a healthful
dwelling are that it shall be absolutely
free from amp !; because a damp house
is a most potent and active and ever
present cause of disease, especially of
rheumatism, neuralgia, colds, coughs,
consumption and such like. The site,
therefore, if not naturally dry, must be
rendered so by means of asphalt or ce-
ment, throughout the foundation, and
the roof and cutters and drainage must
be perfect. All the house-drains should
terminate outside the house on the open
grid or trap that is, they should be
cut of from the street drain, and they
should be ventilated by having a pipe
run up from every soil-pipe and every
bend in the house. And, second, that
the house shall be so placed that the
rays of the sun shall have free admis-
sion into the living apartments because
the suns rays impart a healthy and in
vigorating quality to the air, and slim
Mate the vitality Of human beings as
they do those of plants, and without
sunlight human beings, as well as
PLANTS, would sicken and die. The as
pect, therefore, should be southeast.

USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.

PERSONS about to travel over great
deserts or along a sandy seashore might
take a lesson from the native African as
to the best method Of obtaining a drink
in such places. The operation is de-
scribed as follows: The women tie a
a bunch of grass to one end of a reed
about two feet long, and insert it in a
hole dug as deep as the arm will reach,
then ram down the wet sand firmly
around it. Applying the mouth to the
free end of the reed, they form a va
cuum in the grass beneath, in which the
water collects, aud in a short time it
rises to the mouth.

THE following process will, it is said,
afford an unusually adhesive paste,
adapted to fastening leather, paper,
etc, without the defects of glue, which,
if preserved from evaporation in closed
bottles, will keep for years: Cover
four parts, by weight, of glue with ff.
teen parts of cold water, and allow it to
soak for several hours A; then warm mod
erately till the solution is perfectly
clear, and dilute with sixty-fve parts Of
boiling water, intimately stirred in.
Next prepare a solution of thirty parts
of starch in 200 parts cold water, so as
to form a thin, homogeneous liquid,
free from Jumps, and pour the boiling
glue solution into it with thorough stir
ring, and at the same time keep the
mass boiling.

THE almost incredible statement is
made by a correspondent of the London
Lancet that in some of the manufacture
inc districts of England, where women
are largely employed, the death rate
among infants under one year old is
from fifty to ninety per cent. The
cause of this fearful mortality the wri-
ter ascribes to the fact that the infants
are left at home under the care of igno-
rant elderly women, who feed them
with starch food, a boiled bread. Cruel,

which prove their certain destruction if

Eureka, Oct. 20.--A frightful acci.
dent occurred here this morning at
about 9 o'clock. The boiler at the
Bailey mill and wood-sawing estab-
lishment OF Z. w. Perrin blew up,
injuring Perrin to such an extent
that he died soon afterward. Por-
tons of the boiler were hurled over
half mile beyond town to the head
of Poverty Gulch. Three other men
who were in the place narrowly es.
capped being killed. Perrin was
about 46 years of age. He was the
inventor of the patent IRON fastened
wood pavement and had several con-
tracts to pave the streets of Eastern
cities.
A serious accident occurred this
morning at the Richmond Smelling
Works, caused by the breaking of .
tan belt. The shafting was consid-
erably twisted, and if the machinery
cannot be set to rights before morn-
ing serious loss of time will in
volve, as the fires in the furnaces
cannot be kept up until that time.
Politics are getting warm as elec-
ton approaches. The registry books
closed tonight. About l, 400 names
are registered in this precinct and
the county will poll over 1000 votes.
Salt Lake, October 2O.-Eighteen
indictments were brought in by the
Grand Jury to-day. 1t is stated that
some of the murders committed in

vestigated, but it is probable most of
the indictments found are for po-
lygamy.
The News to-day computes the
number of polygamists in the Terri
tory at 1000 men, 5000 women and
5000 children, and the cost and loss
by the punishment of all at $2,0O0,-
900; and that the courts would have

KU-KLUx IN TExAs.-The Globe
has a special from Denison, Texas,
which says: "On the night of Sept.
25 twenty-five or thirty armed and
masked men, riding blanketed
horses, visited Thomas Boyd, at st.
Joseph, Montague county, and called
on VIM. Stone, who with his family
boarded with Boyd, to come out.
Stone refused, whereupon he was
informed that there was q body of
men near by who intended to hang
him in "a hours. The party then
visited several other houses and
made similar demands upon the in
mates. The next day Deputy U. s..
Marshal J. NJ. Redoman and sever
al other United States officers ar
rived at St Joseph, and found Stone
and others packing their wagons,
preparatory to leaving, and accom-
panied them Is miles on their jour
-ney, and camped with them the first
night, keeping out pickets to prevent
a surprise, as the intention was to
follow and murder them. Yester-
day a refugee appeared before U. S.
Commissioner Charles L. Maurice
and filed complaints against %
members of the gang, whom they
could identify. Warrants were is
sued and placed in the hands of
Deputy Marshal Wright, who, with
a posse of men, left Denison last
night for Montague county, to make
arrests. The demonstration against
Stone and others was to prevent
them from appearing in court as
witnesses against certain parties"

There is a great running together OF
Republican politicians at Washington to
tell each other what they must do to
make the Democrats kill themselves before
they get into office, and of Democratic
politicians to inquire What they must do

the Republicans is to provide Tor the as
