The NATIONAL Health.

The national board of health an
nounces that it will convene in special
session at Atlanta, Ga, on Monday,
May 9TH, and continue in session con.
temporaneously with the American
Medical Association, which meet at

absolute necessity for consultation
with health officers, quarantine physi-
clans, and sanitarians generally
throughout the United States, the
board urges all persons interested in
matters of sanitation, whether muni-
cipal, State or national, to be present
and counsel with the board. 1t is
earnestly hoped that not only every
State, but that every municipality in
the whole country will be represented,
in order that a step may be taken to-
ward securing a general system of
health and quarantine regulations.

SLIGHT INTERRUPTION.
An Attempt to Assassinate Edwin Booth
on the Stage.

CHICAGO, April 23.-While Edwin
Booth was giving the soliloquy in the
last act of Richard III, at McVicker' S
to night, a shot was fired at him by a
man sitting in the left-hand upper gal
lery. Booth sat still, and after about
three seconds a second shot was fired,
when he rose and started toward the
left wing of the stage, pointing out as
he went the would-be assassin. The
latter was at once seized, and, but for
the Intervention of officers, would have
been roughly handled. He states his
name as Mark Gray that he is twenty
three years of age, and a dry goods
clerk of St. Louis that he has been
three years preparing to do this deed,
and is surprised that he failed; that
his failure to kill Booth is the only
part of the attempt which he regrets.
He refuses to state the cause of his
action, but says his reasons will be re-
garded as sufficient.

Gray says that Booth wronged a
friend of his once, and he had been
resolved to punish him ever since.
He states that he is from Keokuk, but
is now travelling for a firm in St.
Louis. He was only thirty feet dis
tant from Booth. He had on his per-
son a letter addressed to a lady by the
name of Katie, stating his intention
of shooting Booth tonight, and assert
ing that Lawrence Barrett is a supe-
rior actor to Booth. He is now in
custody at Central station. The audi
ence at McVicker's remained after
the episode, and the play proceeded to
the end without further break.

The Vital Energies.

It has been preferred by them from the fact that its spirituous basis, which is of the purest de- scription, is modified by, and made the ve- hicle for, the vegetable medicinal principles incorporated with it. These latter render it conspicuously serviceable in eases of general debility, constipation, and other disorders of the bowels; in dyspepsia, nervous affections, urinary and uterine ailments, rheumatism, intermittent and remittent levers, which it prevents as well as remedies; and in liver
 complaint. A household stock of medicines can scarcely be called complete wi. bout this inestimable medicine.

AnImprovenent.

It is an undeniable fact that Ameri- can women are improving in plump ness, and are fast losing the lean, scrawny appearance for which they were once remarkable. The reason for this Is obvious: they take vastly better care of themselves than formerly. They have more acquaintance with hygienic laws, and hold them in far higher es- teem. The days when they exposed themselves to dampness and wintry cold in thin slippers and silk stockings;
 when they abstained from hannels next the skin; when they pinched their waists to standardization; when they sacrificed comfort and health to what they conceived to be their appearance those foolish and unhappy days are gone forever, have barely been known to the rising generation. Our women now have no mawkish morbid notions as to them selves; they no longer think that to be unhealthy Is to be attractive; that in- dividuahsm and interestingness are synonymous; that pale faces and com pressed lungs are tokens of beauty. they dress seasonably; they wear thick boots and warm clothes in bad and cold weather; they allow themselves to breathe freely, and they find their looks improved, not injured, by the wholesome change. There are excep- tions, many of them, doubtless, but the rule is as we have described, and the exceptions are constantly diminishing. It may be safely said that all sensible women are becoming, if they have not yet become, converts to nature, and 1 that they heed her behests, recognizing | the great principle that what Is not nat ura1 cannot be beautiful. No wonder | then, that their proportions are fuller, i their cheeks more blooming and their steps more elastic.

PHOSPHATE SOAPS.

It has recently been observed that putrid urine has the property to remove grease and dirt from the articles with which it comes into contact At first it thought that this property was. due to the carbonate of ammonia present in the urine, but subse- quent experiments have shown that this ac- tion depends entirely on the phosphates of the alkalies. 4 soap was therefore manufac- tured containing a certain percentage of phospha of soda which has proved to be very effectual in cleansing, more so thap other soaps. It renders hard "water, con taining much lime, soft,' as the li;ne is pre- cipitated as a phosphate. The phosphate soap IS not-injurious whatever, and does not affect the most delicate fabrics while it is of beneficial influence on the skin. It may also be remarked that waste paper containing such soap may be used fertilizing agent for gardens. These soaps are now extensive y manufactured in Germany and France.- Chem. Zeitung.
