We have received the third Biennial Re
port Of the State Board of Health, which,
among other things, recommends the adop-
ton of the A Abat:oir system of siaughtering
animals for consumption in our large cities,
which, if it is adopted, we presume will do
away with the Office of Weigher OF Live
Stock, and save the politicians much trouble
in Seiec;ing Il suitable person to fill that
position. The report also contains much
valuable information about the adulteration
of many kinds Of food, spices, and liquors,
and recommends some salutary legislation
with Il view Of leSsening these frauds in the
future.
We make the following extract from the
report which, after noticing some changes
and improvements at the almshous since
the last report, proceeds as follows:
"The traditional method of buying sup
plies for the house is. i'll many respects,
highly objectionable and calls for speedy
reformation. For half Il century, and under
all phases of political management, it has
been the custom to deal one month nj u time
with nei ighborng StOrekeeperS who arc i'll
political sympathy with the dominant party.
The abuses likely to grow out of such Il
system are TOO Obvious TO require detailed
mention. In such an institution the sup
plies should be bought OF The lowest bidder
after an open competition.
The records of the house are not kept Us
they should he. Indeed there ought 10 be a
general system for the State, uniform in all
the counties, for the collection and preServa-
ton of the statistics of these institutions.
But the greatest deficiency OF the aims
house is iii its accommodations for the sick
who are being almost daily received there,
and tor whom there is practically no pro
vision. SO common is the habit for phySi-
clans and magistrates i'll all parts Of the
county to send the INDECENT sick to this
place, that it is now popularity regarded rs
Il hospital as well as poor house. This
il is in no regard. The inmates who are
taken sick are properly cared for ut least
they are as well cared for as the poor help
in the home makes possible, there being no
trained or special employed nurse. But for
the outside sick there is not Il room, or Il
bed, ur any other special provision. On
this account the house has been for several
years very much embarrassed by the de-
mandS Of sick tramps and Others. In these
days Of active intent i'll all matters of public
and private sanitation, and care for the sick
poor Il county of 10000 population, and
large taxable basis, ought to he better equip
ped in this regard The actual need Of the
county is small hospital, detached from
the aims house ans! more conveniently To-
Gated, but ii the authorities fail or refuse 10
provide this. it becomes imperatively i'll
cumbent upon the trustees of the poor to
meet this requirement in the best manner
they may: rs 10y setting aside certain rooms
for this purpose, which should be suitably
furnished. and under the exclusive charge
of i competent, kind nurse.

The New "I5" Puzzle Mania.

1t is question not yet decided whether
the greater number of persons have been
made insane by attempting TO solve the new
puzzle of " fifteen " or by striving to com
prchend the solutions Published by we'll
meaning but highly improper persons in the
papers. 4 man who values his peace of
mind will forSwear square boxes and num-
hered blocks, and he who wishes to remain
on speaking terms with his fellow men will
avoid their misleading explanations. The
heroic person, who has immense confidence
in the stability of his intellect. will natur-
ally real every solution he can set hold of,
in order tu increase the difficulty of work
ing ont the enigma. The youngest child
may do 1t Ly chance. but neither Proctor
nor De L-S,-l.S might attain the coveted
order of the numbers by working ri it day
and night from now until the isthmuS canal
is cut. The ways Of reaching the proper
sequence are rs nuinbrrlc>S is he n.incer'H
ideas Of the .tmrrirau attitude towards his
scheme. and Il new one i discovered as
often as Il new h"iy il. the Heavens. So
desperate are men becoming thar one offers
500 for the solution uf II, Ii, II difficulty
While another promises a cue to the trouble
for the muniticent remuneration of two
three cent stamps.
One of the most amusing varieties of this
puzzle is the Little Buttercup problem, the
numbers being replaced by the tifteen let
tiers of the name. The unfortunate person
who attempts this mixes those children MP

most cases. incxtricably. business men

Blue the Color of Virtue.

Ribbons it would seem, have become as
sential to the moral well being Of modern
good little girls. That is blue ribbons
for Sunday school girl of the period. The
difference between Il good little girl and ::
bad little girl in a Sunday school book of
modern date is always in the matter of
ribbons. The bad little girl always has her
hair touzeled and tied with tape, or an old
shoe string, while the good little girl wears
perennial blue ribbons, blue being eminen:ly
the color Of rirtun. Unfortunately blue is
unbecoming 10 brunetteS, and that is the
reason why brunettes are always supposed
to be on Il lower plane of piety than blondes.
