INSUFFICIENT AIR.

No matter how perfect are all other hygienic

the air supply is insufficient. The purest air will

When the mortality from all causes among the
metropolitan police of London was only 80 In
1000, that of the Foot guards was 141 from con
sumption alone. The barracks furnished the latter
only about one-fourth as much air per man as is
allowed in prison cells.
The armies of Europe generally are, from a
similar cause, characterized by a large mortality,
During the Crtmean war, the rate in the English
army was 232 per cent Of the total strength THAI

mortality proving wonderfully slight, though the

more to the benefit of pure keen air, which they
breathed therein every moment, thal to all the
medicine they took" Thus, over a a century ago,

THE GOOD OLD TIMES.

The good old times, when good men ruled the land
straightforward honesty their only art,
When Justice reigned, and fraud and wrong wer
banned,
And simple manner spoke gulleless heart
These many men demand.
The good old times when farmers went TO mill,
Their grlst In sack well balanced with q stone;
When the good people had Of work their fill,
The men a'hed, the wives at home alone,
All tolling with will
There were no railways then TO spoil the farm
The joltlng stage coach bore the traveller slow:
There was no gas to sufiooate and harm
tallow dip gave light Obscurely low,
And aused no man alarm.
There were no telegraphs by sea and shore
letter by the pOst.hoy logged along;
The mistress made the clothes her husband wore,
(And spun the yarn and wove it) good and strong
They time and usage bore.
No loud machine TO thresh the garnerd corn
The rattllng fail the business did, and we'll;
What music there beginning with the mornl
Those pounding strokes In metric measures
TIL sang the dnner-horu.
No silks nor laces decked the farmers wife,
No broadcloth on the sturdy farmers back;
No idle hours or lazy ways were rife
or moments lost in pleasure there was lack
All led busy life,
No mammoth Journals then with idle news
Weekly dingy sheet the courier brought;
No churches then with richly cushioned pews-
On benches hard, the penltential thought
What sinner could retuseH
Nc rogues in office then to make them rich
By plunderlng deity from the common store.
No public servant felt the raging Itch
For profit through the honest trust he bore,
And daubed his fame with pitch:
And these they tell us, were the good old times,
The land Arcadia and the people pure
Not given; like us to folly and to crimes
And some regret that such could not endure,
In sentimental rhymes
Yet, II we ponder on the historical page,
Read letters that outlive their writer's now,
How soon we learn that in that simple age
Crime stained the soul, and many manly brow
WrInkled with party rage.
They had their plans their mOney-bags to fill
The greed of gain prevailed, though not so much
Since fewer lived to swell 1t; every i'll
We censure now was there with cankerng touch
To poison human will.
They had more hardships than we have to-day
The luxurles of the rich men In the past
The poor mans mtorts are; the common way
Is smoother made and life less overcast
Whatever grCmblers say.
The sense Of human virtue is as great,
The sense of human vice is greater now
Than in those good old times; higher state
Is for the tol er, whom these days allow
More comfortable fate.
Toll on, then, that the right may greater grow;
Toll on, that all the wrong may lessened be;
Toll on, to check the strong and aid the low;
Toll on mankind from crimes chains to free,
And let the old times go.
