Preventabie Diseases.

The savage has few diseases, civilized
life has many. Are civilization and dis
ease inseparable? This must not be adj
mitted. A higher civilization than we
have yet attained would show us that
great proportion of our diseases arises
from our semi -barbarous ignorance and
are preventable. This, our day is re-
markable for quackery that gives long
list of diseases and nostrums for the
cure of all complaints. Is not preven-
tion better than cure, and wise precau
ton that needs no better than the inge
nuity of mixing them? The savage
breathes pure air most of his time, civ
ilized man shuts himself up in boxes
and takes great pains to exclude the air.
The great art of ventilation is to admit
pure air at all times, but in cold weather
to have warmth and pure air at the same
time. No general arrangement has yet
been made on this vital point. The saw
age drinks pure water. Civilized men
dig wells and taint them with cesspools,
stables, rubbish thrown in and around
then scientifically filters the water and
drink it with great satisfaction. Filth
chemically mixed in water cannot be
filtered from it, The savage eats when
hungry. Civilized man eats at stipu-
lated times, and too often go through
the ceremony when not hungry. The
savage eats on an average no more than
is good for him. Civilized man on ordi-
nary circumstances eats twice as much
as is good for him and takes his risk on
the balance. But gaunt poverty in hard
times comes down below savage hfe-is
worse fed, worse sheltered and worse
cared for. Disease and decentralization
in abjeet poverty and in hard times, go
beyond anything found in savage life.
The savage breathes often in water. Civ
ilized man dips his hands and face care
fully in water twice day, but most OF
them are innocent of good wash all
over, or of bath once year. Hard
work beyond the strength of the worker,
and to make up for hard times, is a
present source of disease and breaks
down the constitutions of thousands
And so On inscrutable Providence y
sends fever and mum berless diseases. II
is ignorance, mismanagement, filth and
poverty that decimates population
with disease-it is not Providence. The
remedies for evils may be far off, but
still the facts should be born in mind.

Coffee vs.. Rum.

The idea of reforming the temperate by
setting up cheap coffee-houses in the
neighborhood of the rum-shops has been
tried with much success in England, so
great, in fact, that they have, In many
cases, compelled the rum dealers near by
to close their shops for want of custom,
which the coffee resorts had drawn away
from them. In Bristol, the rum-dealers
hearing of the proposed TRIAL OF the plan
there, hired every available location in
their quarter; aud at first it seemed that
the reformers were thwarted because Of
their inability to secure available rooms,
it being considered necessary to have the
eoffee-houses in tho vicinity Of the places
where the laboring people were wont to
resort for their morning and evening
drinks. The coffee men, however, out

Competitive Examinations.

Above all things let my imaginary
pupil have preserved the freshness and
vigor of youth in his mind as we'll as
his body. The educational abomination
of desolation of the present day is the
stimulation of young people to work at
high pressure by incessant competitive
examinations. Some wise man who
probably was not an early riser) has
said of early risers in general that they
are conceited all the forenoon and stu
pid all the afternoon Now, whether
this is true of early risers, in the COM
mon acceptation of the word, or not, |
will not pretend to say but it is too
often true of the unhappy children who
are forced to rise too early In their
classes. They are conceited all the
forenoon of life, and stupid all its after
noon. The vigor and freshness, which
should have been stored up for the pur-
poses of the hard struggle for existence
in practical life, have been washed out
of them by precocious mental debauch-
ery-by book gluttony and lesson bib
bing. Their faculties are worn out by
the strain put upon their callow brains,
and they are demoralized by worthless
childish triumphs before the real work
of life begins. I have no compassion
for sloth, but youth has more need for
intellectual rest than age and the cheer
fullness, the tenacity of purpose, the
power of work which makes many sue
cessful man what he is, must be placed
to the credit, not of his hours of indus
try, but to that of his hours of idleness,
in boyhood. Even the hardest worker
of us all, if he has to deal with anything
abovemer details, will do well, now
and again, to let his brain lie fallow for
a space. The next crop of thought will
certainly be all the fuller in the ear and
the weeds fewer.-Prof Hurley, in
PDD,tlIr Science Montli{u.

Up-Hill Work.

Uphill work, both literally and
fguratively, means work in two direc-
tions at once; literally, it is going for
ward while we raise our own weight
figuratively, it is doing things and learn
ing how to do them at the same time
thus lifting ourselves to II higher plat
form of moral or intellectual being.
There is always, in some senses, an as
cending slope before us, which we may
scale if we will. But happily it does not
rest with ourselves to decide whether the
general tenor of our lives shall be that
of laborious ascent or of gentle down
ward gliding. The force Of gravitation
need not be always regarded type of the
depraved tendencies of the human heart.
There is name for all things, says the
wise man, and if there is q time for
learning, so is there, happily, time for
forgetting and also a time for idly ap-
plying and enjoying what we have
learned. There is time for scram bling
grass in the valley time for climbing
fruit-trees, and time for letting the
ripe fruit fall out of our mouths. Even

Humiliation, and it would be poor
view of life which valued nothing that
was not gained by the sweat of the brow.
Let life tend ever SO steadily upward in
its moral and spiritual aspects, and in
tellectual labor be ever SO strenuously
directed toward higher and higher levels
of attainment, still there will be in the
outward life pauses from all activity,
and welcome and gentle relaxations of
effort, when our wisdom is to sit still,
and receive the riches which flow into
our souls from above. Hard work is,
no doubt, a cure for many evils, and the
taste for it most excellent one to ae-
quire if we can, but not to be able to
abstain from it for time, not to have
any idea of employment without it, is
miserable slavery and blindness

Stage Frights.

Without going back to the days of
Garriek or Macready, and host of ira
gedians who always kept in bed nearly
the whole of the day to calm their
nerves before acting new part, can
just call to mind one or two cases con-
fined even to one theater, The Old Adel-
phi. On the first night of new piece,
the Keeleys were always very i'll from
fright. Leigh Murray suffered as much
from it as cockney does in the " chops
OF the Channel Celeste used to dash
on in sheer desperation from it, saying
to himself, Well, hey cannot keel me
for it, Alfred Wigan, one of the letter
perfect actors, was martyr to fright, so
much that he occasionally forget the
words as for his accomplished wife, he
was obliged to divert her attention dur
ing the day, lest the dread of first
night should overpower her, and at
night she, on one occasion, had to throw
herself on the ground to subdue the
beating of her heart from fright.

The COrvIna Library.
lcontemporary Review.l

The famous Corvina Library was col
lected by Corvinus, at Buda, and IN
forming the collection he enjoyed the
sympathizing assistance of Lorenzo de
Medici and the scholarly aid of Politian.
The library was completely scattered to
the winds by the Turks after the battle
of Mohaez, in 1726, a calamity to learn
ing which, in Haliam's opinion, tran
seended that of the burning of the Alex
andrian library by Omar. What became
of the books, tabled to amount to $4,000
in number, no one could tell. Some
found their way to Vienna, few more to
Constantinople, but the vast majority
remained totally unaccounted for.
Even the contents of the library
became a matter of considerable
speculation, and the late Lord
Stamford made diligent search in the
portion preserved in the seraglion on
the Bosporus in the faint hope of light
ing upon the lost decades of Livy or
some of the missing plays of Ksehylus.
The infant press of Hess of Buda had
contributed few printed volumes, but
by far the greater part were manuscripts
at that time much more highly valued
than the comparatively rude productions
of the printers art According to Pro-
fessor Fischer the collection had already
suffered considerably from depredators
long before the battle of Mohacz. The
successors of King Corvinus cared moth
ing for literature, and Waldislaus IL.
permitted foreigners to borrow without
restriction They availed themselves of
the privilege with alacrity. Royal libra
rians, English abbots, German cardi-
nails and Viennesse professors all
borrowed without the slightest
notion of returning. In this way
some of the volumes found their
way into the hands of Pirkheimer, oi
Nuremberg, and thence in the seven
teenth century into the collection formed
by the Earl of Arundel, and are now in
the possession of the British Museum
Masario, the Secretary of the Venetian
embassy at Buda, writing in 1920, after
cursory examination of the library
gives it as his impression that nearly all
the more valuable manuscripts had al
ready been abstracted. Prof. Fischer
has been at considerable pains to trace
the subsequent fortunes of this ll-fated
collection, which, after careful considera-
ton, he is not inclined to estimate
numerically at much over 5000 vol
umes. Of these he has identified al
Buda-Pesth, Vienna, Berlin, Wolten-
buttel and elsewhere no less than sixty
two, while he has examined fifty three
more manuscripts, which, without being
able to speak with certainty, he is in
elined to believe were once a portion OF
| the same library.
