Constables' Duties.

The rights of tenants and duties of con-
stables are clearly explained in recent
case in which the prosecutor alledged that
the defendant had elected him from his
house. 1t came out in the evidence that
the constable did not read the writ of pos
session when he went to the prosecutor s
house. In charging the jury the Judge
said that constables are a necessity in the
community, but while the law gives them
great authority, they should hold them to
the strictest execution of their duties. A
mans house is castle, and it is asking lit
tie to show him by what authority he en-
ters the house of any citizen and it his
duty to read the writ or warrant by whose
authority he is there. Should constable
enter the house of any citizen without legal
authority he becomes a trespasser, and the
occupant of that house has the right to use
force to repel such illegal entrance, to
summon assistance and swear out war
rant against the trespasser. Should, how
ever, an officer of the law 90 into the re-
sidence of a citizen armed with the au-
thority of the law, explain properly his
purpose, he is protected by the law, and
any assault or attack upon him is illegal,
and renders its perpetrator liable to pros
ecution. Itisa very serious thing for a man
to enter the house of another and, with or
without process Of law, put him into the
street. When the law confers such duty
upon the officer he should exercise it with
care and with no unreasonable amount of
annoyance, for it is in cases of this nature
that many fights and disturbances occur
He should take care and not exceed the
power delegated to him by law, and endea-
vor as closely as possible, to confne him.
self within the limits of his authoeity.

Hints About Houses.

Under the head of Recommendations for
Securing the Heatlhiness of Houses" the
-.Sonttarian rcproduces several tables of
select maxims on the subject indicated.
Here are some, for example, for securing
proper ventilation
Rows of houses should be arranged in
PARALLEL lines, the spaces between the ranks
being left open at the ends. Confined
squares and courts are very unhealthy.
The highest of house, from the caves
to the ground, ought never to exceed the
distance to the nearest building in front.
Behind or at the side of every dwelling
house, there should be an open space,
exclusively belonging to it, at least fifteen
feet across, measured in direction at right
angles to the house wall.
Back to back houses are unhealthy and
inconvenient, and ought never to be built
There should be windows to open on
both sides of house where all the win
dows are on the same side, perfect ventila-
ton is impossible.
Every room should have one or more
windows opening into the outer air the
window area should not be less than one
tenth of the area of the floor thus a room
twelve feet by ten feet should have window
at least four feet by three feet.
At least half the window should open,
and the opening should always reach to the
top of the window, which ought not to be
more than foot below the highest part of
the ceiling.
The form of window frame which opens
by swinging on horizontal pivot is
recommended in preference to the ordinary
sliding frame, especially for cottages and
other places where the window is of small
size.
Rooms in newly built houses should not
be less than eight feet high attics should
be of this height over at least half their
area.
Alr-bricks should be inserted in the wall
just below the level of each floor, to yenti-
late the space under the joists.
Bedrooms that have no fire place should
have an air-brick near the ceiling; it is a
good plan to make this to open by hollow
architrave above the window, SO that the
draught may strike upwards and not down
wards.
Where gas is used, ventitlator and fue
should be placed above the burner to carry
off the burnt air.
In building house it is recomnded to
leave air fues in the wall near the chimney,
which may easily be done by building
around quarter pieces, which are drawn up
as the work proceeds.

California and the Fruit Crop.

According to the San Francisco Bulefiie
there is every prospect for another good
fruit season in California, the cherries, pear
and peach trees being in full blossom, and
the apple trees beginning to bloom. In
the adjoining Territories young orchards
are coming into bearing, and SO the market
to which California has supplied green
fruit IS becoming abridged The small val
leys among the mountains are vel stocked
with fruit trees, and ere long fruit will be
produced in those regions so good and cheap
that it viii be difficult for proprietors of
old orchards hundred miles distant TO
compete for the trade Of the LEGAL markets.
In view Of these facts, the Bulletin pre-
diets that tie times will come when every
farmer viii cure his own fruit and store it
away as he does his hay, the drying APP
paratus forming part of every well regula-
ted farm outfit

The Most Deadly Disease.

The most deadly acute disease from
which the people of the United States are
to-day suffering is pneumonia. There are
not less than 1000 cases at this hour in
the city of New York alone. Many are
nearly down with it who do not suspect it,
and these can bring it on by single act of
indiscretion. Ten minutes on street cor
ner in the cold wind glass of brandy or
whiskey late hours and exposure at night;
an evening in badly ventilated church or
theatre any of these may permit the Ia
tent disease to manifest itself.
The disease attacks the lungs, but is
not as generally supposed, species of hasty
consumption. There is very little expect
Grafton in pneumonia, and in many cases
none at all. The cold settles on the lungs,
the air passages fill up with mucus, and
death is due to the impossibility of breath
ing, or to the weakness which the disease
brings on, as cautions dieting is necessary
When the trouble in the lungs is overcome
the patient is often left in so low a condi-
tlon that it is impossible to make him rail-
ly. 1t is rather singular phase of this
deadly disease that the percentage of cases
is as four to one in favor of men. Women
very seldom suffer from it. This may be
due to the greater exposure to which men
are subjected, and to the more sedentary
life of women, who do not suffer from such
constant changes and such shocks to the
lungs. The best preventive against pneu-
monia is to keep the mouth closed when
going from hot place to cold, and
breathe through the nose 1t comes like
a flash of lighting there is no preparation
or means of averting it. One may 90 to
bed healthy, to all appearances, and wake
up with the disease in full blast Then it
is simply question of constitution. Medi-
cal skill avails but little, and physicians
pursue but one course-to keep the
patient in a warm, equal temperature to
give remedies as much as possible to clear
the lungs, and to seek to keep up the pro-
per animal heat. The patient ordinarily
partly loses consciousness on the third day,
and the crisis is reached on the seventh. IF
not dead then, there is small chance of re-
covery, and all depends on the strength of
the patient.
Pneumonia is far more fatal with us
than it was years ago. We may attribute
the increased mortlity from this disease to
a multitude of causes. Alcohol gives the
disease more victims than all else. Other
causes are steam heating devices, bad ven
tilation, and tobacco smoke. The devital-
lied heat of the steam pipes is most injur-
ious to the lungs The action Of the heat
on the iron coils sends off deleterious gas,
which seriously impairs the lungs, and rem
der the inhalation of cold air are positively
dangerous. Tobacco smoke dries up the
mucus membrane of the throat and air
passages, and dispels their action Alcohol
destroys the power of the stomach, and so
lessons vitality that simple "cold'' speed
lily becomes pneumonia These causes
added to the absurd custom of bundling up
the throat and leaving the feet nearly with
out protection-are sufficient to account
for the enormous mortality from this dis
ease.

Put away your Concealed Weapons.

Persons who have been in the habit of
carrying pistols, razors, dirk knives, sling
shots and all other descriptions of con-
cealed or dangerous weapons, will do well
to leave them at home in the future. The
new law makes it misdemeanor to carry
them and, upon conviction, impose fine
of not less than $500 and an Imprisonment
of not more than one year, or either, or
both, at the discretion of the court, for any
person so offending.
