OF the danger of injury to health from
polluted wells, it is hardly possible to
say too much. In one cholera season
in London six hundred deaths were
traced to the use OF single street rump.
Typhoid fever has been repeatedly, in
deed many times, known 70 affect whole
families who resorted to q well for a
common supply, while others in the
same neighborhood, using different
water, were not attacked. Worse yet,
perhaps, seems to be the subtlety with
which organic poison may be con eyed,
by water, through milk in dairymen's
supplies. Several times this has hap
pened in London and elsewhere in Eng
land. In one instance, so far as APP
peared, the only mode of Contamination
was by the milk-pans at the dairy being
washed in water from stream into
which leakage had occurred from a
neighboring vault. At another time,
several well-to-do families in London
one of them that of physician, were af-
fected with typhoid fever. 1t was
found that they were all supplied with
milk by company which furnished
milk from several dairies. At last it
was ascertained that cases of fever oc-
CURED only in those families to whom
had been sent the milk of one particular
dairy; and local cause of contamina-
tion of it's supply was also traced
What exquisite cleanliness of all things
is enioined by this experience! Moth
ing is more sensitive than milk and
cream to all impurity. Even the water
which COWS drink, when marshy and
bad, has been known to make their milk
unwholesome. Butter can be made good
only where the most scrupulous sweet
ness, cleanliness, and freshness of every
thing is maintained. This is the chief
secret of good butter-making and the
moral of it may be extended and ap-
piled by saying that perfect cleanliness
of water, food, air and person, is every
where absolutely necessary to perfect
health.-An1eTiCaa Health Primer.

the Passion Play:" The drama has a
double prelude, one otprayer and one
of nature. Precisely at eight O'Clock the
booming of cannon, planted on slight
elevation beneath the peak ofthe kotel,
announces that the play is about to be-
gin. The whole available space within
the theater is crowded. Every eye is
directed toward the broad proscenium,
which is bathed in the glory of morn
ing sunlight. If the curtain of the CEN
tral stage was removed, while the mu-
sical overture is being performed, and
there was revealed at once what is only
TO be gradually unfolded the hearts of
many indifferent spectators would be
filled with surprise, if not with deeper
emotions. In the principal scene of the
future labors of the players are assem-
bled all the members of the community
who are to take an active part in the
performances-upw of five hundred
in number-together with their pastor
or the aged priest-father of the village,
the Geistlicher Rath Daisenberger, and
there, unobserved by human eye, but
feeling conscious ofthe Divine Presence.
have fallen upon their knees and are en-
gagged in a silent prayer. The spiritual
leader of the villagers kneels down in
of their prayer, although very suppl,
cate in silence, is that the dramatic la
bors in which they are about to engage
may prove spiritually beneficial to
themselves and to the thousands who
have come from distant parts to wit
ness them. This is the unseen prelude
to the" Passion Play"
There is also the prelude of nature,
which contributes to calm and Joyous
feeling in the breast of the spectator.
The eye, wandering far beyond the
limits of the stage, dwells upon the
green, sunlit landscape of the valley.
To the right and left the gaze rests on
mountains fringed with frs, and more
prominent than all on the high peaked
Kofel, with its high cross gilded by the
mornings rays. The fresh morning
breeze is laden with the perfume of
myriads of wild flowers that carpet the
meadows of the valley. The ear is cap
tivated by soft, thrilling melodies as the
lark scars from his nest among the
meadow grass and pours out matin
hymn to the Creator. Even within the
confines of the theater itself tiny featE-
cred visitors dart across the sea of hu-
man heads, hop about on the broad
proscenium or rest demurely on the
projecting corners of the stage, while
butterflies of every hue sail about at the
caprice of the breeze, enlivening and
diversifying the scene. From the dis
tant hills the tinkling of COW bells is
borne family to the ear, giving evidence
of the charm and simple beauty of pas
toral life. Nature and art here unite in
preparing the mind for the grand scene
of Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusa-
lem. Every feature of landscape and
surrounding contributes toward the
realization of the first scene of the
drama-Christ's triumphal entry into
Jerusalem-in such manner as almost
to produce complete illusion.

Herr Max Waldstein, of the statistical
department at Vienna, says, in recently
published pamphlet. that the number
of persons in Europe who are upward of
ninety years old is 1881. Ofthose who
are over 100 years old there are 24l
women and l6l men in Italy, 800 women
and l3S men in Austria, and 526 women
and 524 men in Hungary. There are in
Austria l,508, ,359 persons over sixty
years of age, comprising 7 5 of the whole
population. 1t is found that the per-
centage of old people is much higher
among the Germans than among the
Slavs. In the German provinces of
Upper Austria and Salzburg it is lI,5,
while in Gallicia it is only four. In
Hungary there are more old men than
women, which is explained by the fact
that the excess of women over men is
less in Hungary than in any other coun-
tries. There are in Austria 100 women
and eighty-six men who are 100 years
old, and sixty eight women and sixty
men who are rising of l0l years of age.

A considerable steel-making industry
exists in the present day in China, on
the Upper Yangtze, whence the steel is
sent to Tien-tsin for shipment and dis
tribution. 1t brings much higher prices
than the Swedish steel imported into
the country. The Chinese metallurgists
recognize three kinds of steel, namely,
that which is produced by adding un-
wrought to wrought iron while the mass
is subject to the action of fire, pure iron
steel, which is produced in the south
west. The different names for steel are
twan kang, or ball steel, from its rounded
form; kwan kang, or sprinkled steel !;
wei tee, or false steel. The Chinese,
apparently have known how to manu-
facture steel from the very earliest ages.

During n thunderstorm at Lille,
France, man who had been working mt
the foundations of the new Faculty OF
Medicine was mounting a ladder with
his tools on his back, to reach some
place of shelter, he was struck down
senseless, and was removed paralyzed
to the hospital. His arms and legs were
found to be in lifeess condition, and
he was severely burned about the body
and sides. His boots and clothes had
been singed off in places. One of his
comrades, who was standing near him
at the time of the accident, felt a shock,
and discovered that his hair had been
singed, but he csc ped all other injury.

The Hartford Costrdnt gives list of
parties who have been reported as killed

act as safeguards.
Previous to the current year, the
largest number of emigrants from Eu-
rope to the United States was in 1854,
when the records showed 3l9,0 900. From
this number there was a decline TO 55,-
600 in 1877. In 1879, the tide in this di-
rection began again, reaching l39,O 900,
and this year promises to APPROACH 40O,-
600, or some have thought 100000.
The latest plan for crossing the Eng
lish channel is embodied in a model
now before the admiralty for a monster
floating railway station, which is to
carry trains from England to France
across the channel at the rate of four
teen knots an hour. 1t is stated that
each train would provide accommoda-
tions for 1900 passengers, which would
require sixty or more railway car
riages.
Southern mocking birds well deserves
the name. They initiate not only the
songs of other birds, but human whist
lers as well. A lady of Macon, Ga,
relates that her pet mocking bird often
deceives all the inmates of her house
by its clever imitation of the post
mans whistle. They go out to get the
letters, and find Jack on a spray near the
fence, blowing his whistle and looking
entirely innocent of any intention to
hoax the family.
Superintendent Peaslee, of Cincin-
natl, says that the greatest mistake that
is being made in the American schools
is the constant drive in arithmetic at
the expense OF composition and litera-
ture. Mr.. Peaslee wants less cramming
for per cents and more education-to
set before pupils higher aims for study
than monthly averages. His convic-
tions have led to the establishment in
the Cincinnati schools of poets Days, :"
The children are made to not only
memorize poetic selections of the high
est character, but to learn something
about the authors, and to talk about
them.

Our exceedingly fine weather has
greatly increased the cotton crop,
and facilitated its picking. 1t is
beginning TO come into town at lively
rate, though it is evident that the people
are not, by any means, bringing it in MS fast
as it is picked. general health Of the
county seems to be good except in or near
bottom lands, or new clearings.-rhes saw
mills are doing good business considering
the extreme scarcity of hands; though the
price ia very low considering the cost of Ia
Dor and supplies The price of lumber is
certain to increase materially, not from
lack of lumber or mills, but because of wa
ges paid for labor, and the cost of corn, ba-
con, etc.-A very considerable stir is be-
ing made in town for the Longview & Sa-
bine Valley railway, both to the northwest
and southeast. AT a late meeting held in
the interest of these extensions, Captain
Sam Cundifl, George Harrison, and Captain
Nj. e. Harrison were appointed commit
tee to raise the required subsidy sppor-
toned to Longview, which is only $4,000
Certainly if this sum cannot be raised to
further so great an enterprise, and which
will, certainly, when put in opperation,
double the present business of Longview,
with the lumber trade alone, besides furnish
ing more outlets n different directions, then
Longview should forfeit all claims 10 enter.
prise and bright future. j. II. Crutcher,
Captain Sam Cundiff, and A. s. Taylor were
appointed u committee to secure the right
Of way through the streets and private prop
erty, and depot grounds. The public are as.
sured by the management of the railway
that when the rights OF way and required
subsidies shall be secured, the work shall
begin at once. The prospects are that both
will readily be obtained. Toe openings for
saw mills and the supply of the finest pine
timber in the state are to be found not only
on the proposed extension, but also on the
present constructed line. There are now
six mills in operation on the present twelve
miles. and Mr.. Barnes assures the writer that
two more will soon be put up on the road.
These mills alone, properly run, should
bring into the city Of Longview 100000
per year.-As in other portions of the
state, politics are absorbing a great deal of
attention, and the almost innumerable can
didstes can everywhere be seen button hol-
