The London Lancet has undertaken
to inquire into the hygienic conditions
of school life in educational establish
ments. Aiming principally to disclose
defects which are generally overlooked
or little nOticed, it invites and expects
the cooperation of the conductors of
the schools. 1t has framed list of
questions relating to the character and
capacity of the premises, the accommo-
dation for pupils, provision of air and
diet, hours of school work and play. the
general health during the year, sanitary
arrangements of the establishment and
the system of medical inspection in use.
The results of its inquiries will be given
in the form of reports and suggestions
with view of defining the conditions
of health in body and mind of youth at
tending school.

STORM AND SHINE.

ANOTHER sunless, dreary, weary day!
How the poor treetops shiver! The dead
Fall suilenly upon the rain-soaked earth.
And, still more loud, the wild Worcester
grieves.
And can it be that ever sunlight shone?
And can it be that ever skies were blue?
And can it be that ever breezes soft
The windward bee scarce hindered as he
And what If nevermore the earth should lie
By the warm wind enchanted and caressed?
And what if this gray shroud which now she
Were that of her last, long, eternal rest?
Was ever day so beautiful as this?
Was ever wind SO soft, or sky so fair?
Was ever grass so green, and all the world
So fresh and pure and sweet beyond COM
pare!
How the glad tree-tops glisten in the sun!
How, fitting there, the robin things abroad
A song so gay that all the earth through him
Seems giving thanks and praises to our God!
And can it be that skies were ever dark?
That sunlight ever was desired in vain?
That ever fell. day after weary day,
The boarded torrents of the cherries rain?
So beautiful, it seems it cannot die!
Or die but TO bring others to their birth
Days fair as this that with amending joy
Shall stir the pulses of the happy earth.
III.
q foolish heart! these things are for sign,
But late it seemed that thou vast never

"And what" thou said'st. "if neyermore

Life should be anything but dark and sads"
To-day thou cry'st, "Was ever such day?
Was ever life SD sweet or love so true9
where are the clouds OF doubt and grief and
pain?
Vanished forever in the stainless blue!''
vanished forever? Nay, to-day it seems
That nOught has been but bliss without
alloy;
And that SUCH days forevermore must be;
Peace unto peace succeeding, joy to joy"

English COroners' Returns.


 return just made of the number of cor oner's inquests held in England and Wales during 1879 furnishes some curious particu- lars During the year no fewer than 27,056 | induests were held, at cost of e86, 333, | against 27, ,628 inquests in 1878, at a cost of | G99, ,29O. Juries returned verdicts of murder | in 153 cases, 78 being females and 75 nal es. | Except as to capital offense the proportion IS | the other way, and inquests on males being | in the ratio of 3 per cent. to the total num-
 Der. There were eight cases of justifiable | homicide the whole of which were males. | Of 1,941 suicides, ,461 were males, while | only 4SO were females. The list of accident l al deaths runs to so high figure as 10, 787, l and of them &, 129 were men and only 2,659
 were women PIP persons died during the
 year from injuries of which the causes are | tsunknown." Here, also, the same disparity IS found to exist; 175 men perished to 97 women. l In the twelve months juries were empanelled | to sit on ,O46 persons found dead. Of these, 1 1 .99O were males and 1 ,066 females. During | the same period 13 men were executed and | women In respect to natural death, the | same disproportion Is observable; t241 me l and 177 women died from excessive drinking. 1 Diseases ''aggravated by neglect, carried oil 90 males and ST females. Want, cold and | exposure were the proximate means of de- | priying 312 persons of life, 198 being males
 and 124 females: Other causes nave; next to t'accidental death,' y the greatest number of victims scheduled No fewer than 9, TIC
 persons died during the year from causes not determinable Of these TIT were males, as against 2, ,999 females. As might be expected, there is an observable difference between the
 number of verdicts of murder shown in the
 coroner's returns and the number of murders
 reported by the police This arises from the occurrence of cases of supposed infanticide, in which verdict of murder is given at the coroner's inquest, while the offender, being convicted for concealment of birth, is classed in the police reports under that heading. Of the 27,056 cases which came before the courts there were g, 9,522 of seven years and
 under, 1 1885 above seven and under sixteen, 1,908 adults of sixteen and under sixty,
 4,749 aged and infrm persons of sixty years

LUCIA MORSE MOVES, died November 21, 1880, Aged twenty-eipht years.

The casket under the direction of Mr.
 Moves was shipped back to the undertakers at Warren, Pa., and is to be used at the fun
 eral of some person whose friends are unable to purchase coffin. After the body was taken from the casket and laid in the crib before wrapping the
 alum water soaked sheet around it beauti- full wreath was laid over the hands of the de-
 ceased lady Mir. Moves himself helped lift
 the body into the crib and prepare the body for the retort. The persons who accompani- ed the remains to this place were MT. Moves, the husband brother and a friend, who took charge of the casket and attended to l other matters in connection, with the incin- eration The brother is Mir. Henry c. Moves, A merchant at Peoria III. It will be remem-
 bered that it was mentioned in a special from this place last night that Mrs. Moves died in | child bed It was learned to-day that the child
 was born on Thursday last, and that it is likely to live. It is a daughter and the only
 child. This was the eigth cremation in the
 Lemoyne furnace, the bodies of five men
 and three women having been consumed in it.
 The families of both Mir. and Mrs. Moves
 are in favor of this way of disposing of the dead. In conversation with each other the
 deceased lady and her husband had promis- ed that in case of the death of one the other
 would see to having the remains cremated.
 and this is why this incineration took place to-day

mission which was sent to China found much less difficulty in treating upon this branch of the subject than had been anticipated, owing to the fact that the Chinese government has never been anxious to have it's citizens emi- grate to any country in such numbers as they have to this. China held that under the treaty between the two nations the right of Chinese citizens to come to the United States was clear, as was the duty of our authorities to protect them; still, as there seemed to be so much trouble over the matter in certain quarters and such a strong opposition to the presence of Chinamen, the settlement of the terms upon which they could hereafter enter the country was left almost entirely to the United States In return for this concession some new and important commercial privi- leges have been granted in the second treaty, which regulates the whole subject of commercial intercourse. Hereafter Chinese shipping will be placed on the same foot ing as that of the most favored nations. It is expected that the duties paid last summer,
 under protest, on the Chinese vessel which put in at San Francisco, will be refunded,
 Within a week second Chinese vessel will arrive at San Francisco and will be allowed to enter that port upon the same terms as are imposed upon ships of other nations. The two treaties, while separate instruments, will be considered together and be treated as vir- tually one one by the executive. It is ex- pected that the President, in his annual mes sage, will make general statement of the nature of these treaties and transmit them to the Senate with full statement of the work of the commission in negotiating them. Their prompt ratification at the hands of the Senate is expected. The Chinese authorities have already been exerting their influence through consular officers in Havana to check any further emigration of Chinese labor to the South Strong efforts have been made for some time past by the sugar planters in Louisiana to import Chinese labor from Cuba but thus far they have met with little success owing to the opposition of Chinese consuls. It is believed that the new treaty of commerce with China will give great i'm petus to the trade between the two countries
