The SINGULAR HOME OF LONG ISLAND
FAMnY:-On Saturday, Thomas Foster, who
lives with his family In hole In the ground 10
Little Neck woods, L. l., applied to Mr.. Sulli-
van, an overseer of the poor In the town OF
Flushing, for assistance. The overseer not
considering Foster deserving OF relief, made a
charge OF vagrancy against him before Justice
Frame OF Flushing. Yesterday Justice Frame
visited the place to ascertain the condition of
the Fosters. He says the hole In which they
live Is only six feet wide and four feet deep,
with pointed board roof, and how they exist
In it is beyond his comprehension. The In
habitants OF the cave are Thomas Foster,
dwarf, so years OF age, who wears long flowing
hair; Catharine, his wife, who could not recol-
lect her age, but looked to be about 60; q son
named William, 10 years OF age, and two daugh-
tiers named Elizabeth and Mary, aged 10 and Q
respectively. The only articles In the place
were bundle OF meadow hay and bag OF
corn; This family have occupied this singular
dwelling place for the past three years, during
which time both the father and son have re-
fused all offers OF employment. The cave is
known by the name or "Bumble Bee Nest

SKIN DISEASES CAUSED BY UNcLEANLINEss-
Inc physician In charge OF the PENNSYLVANIA
Free Dispensary for Skin Diseases speaking of
uncleanlineSS as an exciting cause OF skin
disease, says have taken the pains for the
past two ears TO make a careful inquiry OF all
dispenSary patients when they had last bathed
the whole body, and they have, In some instan.
ces, replied never, or have acknowledged that
an interval OF years had elapsed between the
additions. When advising the frequent use of
the bath to this class OF patients they always
replied that they had no place In which to
Dathe. Can this be surprising when we con-
slider the manner in which many OF the Door
OF both sexes are very often crowded together In
single room, or occupy apartments or dwellings
In which there are absolutely no facilities for
bathing? When ablution Is thus neglected the
result Is that CASTOR scales, together with the
DUST from the air, and poisonous principles
close up the pores. The skin can then no
longer eliminate carbon and take In oxygen,
and the respiration OF the individual is impeded.
Snould any INFECTIOUS material exist In the at
mosphere, 1t will settle upon the surface and
gradually necome absorbed into the system,
and thus poison the blood. When the functions
OF the skin are thus impaired, the extra work OF
this organ Will then be thrown upon the lungs
liver, Kidneys and bowels, which will be taxed
beyond their capacity. In such q case these
latter organs Will suffer, or, what Is more prob.
able, the morbid action will react upon the skin
Thus have the habits OF uncleanlfneSs become
very often the cause OF cutaneous eruptions. A
multitude OF diseases other than those OF the
skin are also produced by uncleanly habits.
