THE statistics of disease in England
for the year 1874, contained in the re-
Gently published report of the Reg
istrar-General, are exceedingly in
structive. They show that the diseases
most to be dreaded are not in fact those
which we regard with the most terror.
The fever poisons cause but a small
proportion of the deaths compared to
the mortality due to the action of bad
air, and bad food, and cold and damp.
OF the 100000 persons who died in En-
gland in 1874, $4,000 were killed by
bronchitis, and $4,000 by pulmonary
consumption. Atrophy and debility de-
stroyed 81, ZOO lives; old age, $4,000
heart disease, about as many; convul-
sions, $4,000; and pneumonia. $4,000.
The first fever occupies the eighth place
on the list, where we find that 25, 900
died of scarlet fever in the year under
review. 1t will be seen that by ordinary
care-taking much may be done to pre-
vent those diseases which prove most
fatal to mankind. We may we'll rejoice
with the London Times to discover that
{" the chief foes of human life, instead
of being subtle and mysterious poisons
which defy the curiosity of science, are
open enemies against which all but the
poorest may take easy measures of pre-
caution

True POliteness.

A poor Arab going through the des-
ert, met with sparkling spring. Ac-
customed to brackish water, draug ht
from this sweet well in the wilderness
seemed, in his simple mind. present
to the Caliph. So he filled the leath-
ern bottle, and after weary tramp,
laid his humble gift at his sovereign's
feet. The monarch, with magnanim-
ity that may put many a Christian
to blush, called for a cup and drank
freely; and then with smile thanked
the Arab, and presented him with re-
ward. The courtiers pressed eagerly
around for draught Of the wonderful
water, which was regarded as worthy
such princely acknowledgment. To
their surprise, the Caliph forbade them
to touch drop. Then, after the SIM
ple-hearted giver left the royal pres
ence, with new spring of joy yelling
up in his heart, the monarch explained
his motive of prohibition. "During
the long journey, the water in his leath-
er bottle become impure and distaste-
full; but it was an offering of love, and
as such l accepted it with pleasure. I
feared, however, thati if I allowed anoth-
er to taste it, he would not conceal his
disgust. Therefore it was that | for
bade you to partake, lest the heart of
the poor man would be wounded"

Starving for knowledge.

The Boston advertiser tells a pitiful
story of the efforts OF poor girl in Au-
burn, Me-, to get an education. She
wished to 60 to the Portland high
school. She was very poor, and unable
to pay her board in a strange city, so
she made an arrangement with the
proprietor of boarding house to do
what she could to assist her as pay
ment for board. Every morning she
arose at 8 O'Clock, got breakfast, then
went to school, and on her return clear
ed away the dinner things, and then
prepared the supper. After supper she
cleared up and did other housework.
The result was a breakdown with
typhoid fever and she was taken to the
hospital. There the matron discovered
that the poor girls clothing, while very
neat, consisted only of a calico dress
and one cotton skirt. The girl, as soon
as she is well enough, will 60 home to
an aunt in Auburn, who will keep her
until she can again endeavor to support
herself.

A Sporting Pap.

Geo. w. Peck, editor of the La Crosse
San, sportsman of much enthusiasm
in Wisconsin, gives his experience try
ing to raise pup. The following is his
story: s
We had never been so proud of any
thing in the dog line as we were
of that Peruvian retriever pup. Time
passed on and the pup began to grow.
He did not grow tall, but spread out
lengthwise and sidewise, and his feet
got big. There never was so long dog
Of his age as that one was. And talk
about tail; kangaroo's tail would be
nowhere. Ore wiggle of his tail would
sweep eleven old-fas ashioned flower pots
off the verandah, and you might kick
him as much as you pleased and he was
the same long dog. You couldn't tele-
scope him together an inch. He was
the most cowardly dog that ever was.
Ii COW came along and scratched
against tree, he would crawl under
the house and howl all afternoon. Once
little girl came in the gate after swill,
and when he looked at her she dropped
her swill-pail and ran. He heard her
cry and ran the other way, and it was
two days before we got him home, and
then we had to carry him in a basket.
He was retriever. His best "holt''
was hens. He got acquainted with Mr..
Manchester chickens early in the sea-
son, and he retrieved them regardless
of expense. He would occasionally
come back from Manchester's without
hen, but it was not the dogs fault.
Ii Manchester had not thrown wood at
him he never would have come back
that way. That is where we have always
blamed Manchester. But when Man
chester went to the Centennial the dog
got even. The dog and skunk that
lived under the barn broke up the hen
business there. We might meet him on
the sidewalk, and he never seemed to
know US. If we spoke to him he would
wag foot or eighteen inches of the
lower end of his tail, look away be-.
yoHd, and seem to be trying to think if
he hadn't met US in another world, ,ages
ago. The other day he came home
bowling, walking on two legs. Some
one bad put charge Of shot in him,
and we knew Manchester had got back,
though there was nothing about it in
the papers. He seemed to be as full of
shot as-well, he was reasonably full,
and every time he went to sit down he
howled wofully. He was dog of sed-
entary habits, and when his utensil
for sitting down was not as well as could
be expected, his capacity for enjoy
ment was limited, and he would stand
and lean against barrel and discourse
in foreign tongue until nobody could
sleep in the entire neighborhood. In
his helpless condition the hens used to
show fight, and we saw it was humiliat-
ing to him, SO we prepared to lead him
like lamb to the slaughter. We took
him to the police office to get the dollar
we paid for his license and to have him
shot.

Customs in Egypt.

Egypt is country in which every
thing is for sale. The rich are
so very few and the desperately
poor are so many, says a correspond
ent, that it rarely happens that you see
any thing that can not be bought. Pass
ing hovel you see q woman "grind-
ing at a mill," the very same mill
which is referred to in the New Testa-
ment, consisting of two stones, of which
the upper turns upon that beneath, and
at which the woman sits YEARLY turn
ing as one may see represented in sculp-
lures 5000 years old. Unconscious of
observation, she has dropped her veil
and her Ease is exposed. It is face q
am describing what l happened to see)
full of intelligence, vivacity, and yet is
disfigured by nose-ring suspended
from one nostril, but 50 balanced as to
seem to hang from both. On the ring,
which is nearly two inches in diameter,
and cf gold, are suspended one or two
little gold balls and a few coins. The
unsightly ornament probably repre-
sents the whole of her worldly wealth,
for as you look about you, you perceive
that her surroundings are those of utter
squalor and EXTREMIST poverty. Pessi-
bly, it was her dowry, and not improba-
bly, it is an hereditary treasure, the on
ly single ornament which her mother
wore, and which may have passed on
from generation to generation with in
creasing reverence and care; but she
will sell it-or rather she must sell it;
for although she refuses your offer at
first, her necessities constrain her to
accept it in the END, ,and asyou felicitate
yourself upon having secured an orna-
ment at once curious and really valua-
BILE, you will be very insensible if your
elation is not little qualified by the
reflection that you may have stripped
another of the last memento of ances-
tral prosperity.

PITH AND POINT.

THIS is the time of year when the
young man with a bundle of mixed
candies sits in the cold extension room,
waiting for his sweetheart, while she

A SHORT time ago Fred. Huntzinger
entered cave near Elk Mound, Wis,
and killed three lynx. The animals
were snugly ensconced for the winter.
Farmers in that vicinity had several
times tried to smoke them out, but all
efforts in that direction signally failed.
Mr.. Huntzinger boldly entered the
place, revolver in hand, and by series
OF well-directed shots, put an end to
their career. He obtained $21 bounty
for the three scalps, and sold the hides
for several dollars more.

Railroad Accident.

a Philadelphia paper in noticing the re-
cent railroad accident at Cuttingsvile
says lptnis severe weather it would be a
prudent act in the engineer to slow up while
rounding sharp curves. If his was done
there would be less prospect Of an accident
like that on the Rutland road. Every pre-.
caution should be taken these sharp frosty
days and nights by those having trains
freighted with human life in their charge,
and there is alwoys danger, especially in a
bend of the taack where the pressure is the
greatest, of rail swapping under the
weight. A heavy responsibility rests upon
the engineer and conductor at all times,
but at none so much as in the winter, when
every care should be exercised and the ut
most vigilance used

The Tennessee Senators.

Ex-Governor Isham g. Harris, who has
been elected United States senator from
Tennessee for six years, was thorough
sympathizer with South Carolina at the
outset of the rebellion, and as governor Of
Tennessee, said that state would not fur
nish single maA for coercion, but "fifty
thousand, if necessary, for the defence of
our rights snd those of our brethren 1t
was under his administration that the ter
rible persecution Of union men IN East Ten
nessee occurred. David Nick. Key, the
appointed successor Of Andrew johnson,
was a candidate for the short term. 1t
will be remembered that he ia the senate
took proper and manly ground against the
Oregon fraud. He is now punished for his
independence by receiving the pitiful sup
port, from his democratic friends, of twelve
votes at reelection.

and reasonably observed, but lot of laws
which plainly are made for the benefit of a

a NERMoNrEG
ApropOs OF the game law recently passed
In Vermont II correspondent writes
Although your correspondent, Yer
nonter talks rather strong In FOred and
STREAM Of this week, ] cannot hcln sympa-
thizing with him to some extent. Undoubt-
edly every land owner in Vermont has
legal right to recover damages, nominal, at
least, OF every man who enters Oh his land
without permission from the owner. But
Is 1t worth while for the people of Vermont
TO undertake to enforce any such right
against each other or against visitors from
olher states when the persons against whom
the right is enforced are guilty of nothing
worse than wandering down mountain
brook and whipping few trout out of it ?
And was it worth while to enact a special
Statute for the purpose of enhancing the
amount of damages to be recovered in any
such case?
'Netmonter' is clearly right in saying
ed. The Ncrmonters are stubborn set Of
Yankees many of them are very fond of
trout tishng-and they cannot be held back
from the exercise of what they regard as
their inalienable right to fish their streams
by any such law, especially when they feel,
as 'NermOnter' does, that the law has been
imposed upon them by a class that assume
to look down upon the common people.
For my own part | prefer to obey the law.
l have spent great many summers in Yer
mont, and have caught q great many trout
there. l believe that none of my good
friends there have complained that | was
illibcral in the expenditure of the money
which they have richly earned in provld-
ing for the entertainment of myself and
family among them. i hope 70 spend more
summers in Vermont, and catch good
many more trout there. But if l should
lind myself annoyed in my sport by the law
in question, | shall, of cousse, give up Yer
mont with most sincere regreD and go
whe G | can wade down brook without
making myself a criminal
'l1Oneet anglers obey the laws. Many
honest anglers frequent Vermont who will
stay away from that beautiful state If they
cannot practice their innocent art without
violating the law. II seems to me, there
fore. that the legislation in question will
practically do no good, while it may do
much harm.
'Nermonter' hits the bullseye when he
declares that the true policy Of Vermont is
to enact some suitable law, and spend some
little money, for the purpose ofstocking her
splendid streams with FISH, and then let
everybody, rich and poor, high and low
fish them at all reasonable times and in
reasonable manner. 'Nermonter' will
please accept thecompliments of
