Insufficient Air.

No matter how perfect are all other
hygienic conditions, good health can
not be maintained if the air supply is
insufficient. The purest air will become
vitiated, resulting in disease, especially
in consumption, unless there is a con-
slant means of supply.
When the mortality from all causes
among the metropolitan police of Lon
don was only 80 in 1000, that of the
Foot Guards was al from consumption
alone. The barracks furnished the lat
ter only about one-fourth as much air
per man as is allowed in prison cells.
The armies of Europe generally are,
from similar cause, characterized by O.
large mortality. During the Crimean
war, the rate in the English army was
1872 per cent. of the total strength !;
that of the French 30; while in our
civil war, with its open-air life, it was
less than g. Camp-fever may be almost
banished by cleanliness and fresh air.
In 1760 DR.. Brocklesby, having built
"a large shed as hospital for wounded
soldiers, and the mortality proving won
derfully slight, though the treatment
was otherwise the same as elsewhere,
said, Z" / candidly ascribe their fortunate
escape more TO the benefit of n pure,
keen air, which they breathed therein
every moment, than to all the medicine
they took" Thus, over century ago,
he stumbled on law of hygiene now
universally accepted by experts.
No expense was spared in the erection
of new house for monkeys in the Lon
don geological Garden, to make it as
much as possible like an English gentle
mans drawing-room. These animals
had been wintered in England several
years, and were healthy on entering
their new house. But in one month fifty
of the sixty were dead, and the rest
were dying, of consumption. The whole
trouble was that the room was not prop
erly ventilated.
Before 1886 the loss of horses in France
by death was from $50 to 1877 per 1, 900.
Enlarged stables reduced the loss to 68
nearly two-thirds. In England the
loss is reduced to 20 in Germany to 10

The Kind Of Hat to Prevent Head
aches.

At some of the more primitive Ger
man and Bohemian watering places "a
quaint old custom prevails, III virtue of
which the resident medical or bath doc
tors take up their stations every morn
ing at a fixed hour, under particular
trees, on the leading promenade OF their
respective Bade-Ort, SO that their pa
tents may be enabled to make sure of
finding them for consultation and adj
vice, at particular time and in par
ticular place. A good memory for faces
is a sine qua non to these sons OF HIS
culapius, who in the height of the sea-
son frequently interview from fifty to
sixty invalids apiece during these al
fresco receptions. Mistakes as TO iden-
'tity, however, will occur, and some
times result in singularly comical COM
plications. Recently one of the most
popular physicians ut crowded Bade-
Ort was visited under his tree by an
American gentleman, recent arrival,
who complained that the waters caused
him such terrible headaches that he
thought he had better drop them and
depart to other chimes. The doctor, I'M
willing thus prematurely to lose his pa
tent, looked him over, hastily. and, per-
ceiving that he wore felt sombrero,
told him (" it was not the waters that
made his head ache, but his llnconscion-
ably heavy hat" Swiftly the Ameri-
can betook him to the nearest halter, of
whom he purchased straw fabric so
light as to be all but imponderable, and
went on drinking the waters as before.
His headaches, however, growing worse
instead of leaving him, he again called
upon his medical adviser a few days
later, and told him that his head was
still so bad he really must try some
other cure. The doctor, who in the
meantime had forgotten all about his
previous prescription, and WAS as reluc-
tant as ever to let his patient depart,
again cast comprehensive glance at
him, and, espying the straw hat, ex-
claimed:
You can not expect to be free from
headache if you wear such preposter-
.ously light head-covering. A man of
your age, nearly bald, and in this hot
weather, must protect his head from
the suns rays by stout, solid hat p"
The American gazed at his interlocu-
tor for few seconds in blank astonish-
ment, then, after bowling profoundly,
he sardonically replied:
"Thank you, doctor; / am off TO the
railroad station , +" turned on his heel
and departed

A Novel Egg.Farm.

Tie Farallone Islands are about thirty
miles from the mouth of San Francisco
Bay, and they are the home of innumer-
able sea-fowls. When San Francisco
first began to be city, its constant cry
was for eggs. To supply the lack of
eggs the project of stealing those of the
glllls and the muhrs of the Farallone
islands was undertaken, and il, proved
successful, and has ever since been MAIN
tanned. The birds are too plenty to
count or to estimate, as may be inferred
from the fact that the egg-gatherers
bring in often, or used to gather five
hundred dozen in day; and q great
many of the nests are inaccessible, a great
many others devastated by the rivalry of
the birds themselves, and, of course, a
large part of the birds ut any one time
are not laying. Tue egg season is from
May to August, and if even four hundred
dozen is the rule, the harvest would be
pretty near 500,0 eggs The quarrel
ing between the gulls and the muhrs
leads to the loss of good many muir
eggs, which the gulls at every chance
destroy. The egg business is conducted
by company which has the right. II
pays egg gatherers five cents dozen, and
sells them in San Francisco at consid-
cradle advance.

Battery to the sea beach of Long Island,
seven miles from the Sandy Hook fort,

mile further brings one to the twenty

In other words, an iron-clad drawing

within eleven miles of the Battery with

ly it needs only a gun to carry twelve
miles to place the whole of Brooklyn and
the wealthiest part of New York at the

JOHN MAcKAY, the mining millionaire,
has in his employ at Carson, New, an
expert named Maurice Hoefiich, who al
ways offers to back his opinions by bet
ting. This annoys Mackay, who does
not like to be disputed, and is further
fretted by the fact that Hoehich usually
proves to be in the right. One day Hoe
fitch was playing with an enormous
grasshopper. IT could jump over twenty
feet, and he said : "Tll ped you $50,
Mr.. Mackay, dot you can't find a hopper
to peat him." The rest of the story, as
told by the Appeal, Is as follows |:
Mackay sent trusted emissary down to
Carson valley to secure a contestant.
The man spent nearly a week catching
hoppers, and reported that the best gait
any of them had was:seventeen feet. He
doubted if bigger jump could be Sc.
cured. The next day he arrived with
about "A dozen hoppers. and Mackay
gave them quarters in his room as Van
derbilt would stable his stud. Each
had a cigar box 70 himself, and every
morning they we're taken sout and put
through their PAGES. 1t was impossi-
bic, however. to get. one to jump over
eighteen feet Mackay was in despair,
but one morning 4 hopper smiled at a
bottle of ammonia on the table and i'm
mediately jumped thirty feet. Next
day Mackay announced to Hoeflich that
ne wasready for the mitch. tTheex-
pert came mn hour before the time With
his pet hopper. Not finding Mackay in,
he noticed the bottle of ammonia. A
light broke upon him. Grabbing the
bottle, he rushed to drug store, threw
away the ANN onia, and ordered it filled
with chloroform. Mackay soon arrived
with half dozen mining superintendents
,whom heuhad invited to see him have
some fhnF with SHoefiich. They were
hardly seated when Hoetlich came in
with the hopper in q cigar box under
his arm. q vas leetle late, Mr..
Mackay, but I'm here mid der hopper
and der coin He laid down the
money, which was covered promptly.
Mackay got behind somebody and let
his hopper sniff ut the ammonia bottle,
which held Hoefich's chloroform. Time
being called, the hoppers We're placed
side by side on the piazza, and at the
word " Go |" each WAS touched on the
back with straw. Hoefiich's entry
scored twenty-four.feet. Mackay's gave
lazy lurch of some four inches, and,
folding it's legs, fell fast asleep.
