The Eject of the Heat in Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, July 15.-No rain from
June Goth till July 14th, with the Their
momcter reaching higher than 90 de-
grees each day, and as high as 1O3 de-
grees one day, brought fearful mOrtali-
ty here during the past week. The
deaths traceable 10 the hot weather num-
Der 363. There were very many more
prOstrations.
Business, of course, where personal
activity was required, was greatly re-
stricted. Manufacturers and builders
were seriously interrupted, nearly all of
the latter stopping work entirely.
The rain of yesterday, and the decid-
ly cooler weather, gives a new impetus
TO the tagging business. Dry goods have
been almost nominal; no disposition TO
buy, except through the barest necessi-
ty. Groceries were excited by strong
increase on provisions and the 1irmness
of breadstuffs, but the volume of bust
ness is less than last week.

Sickness a Disgrace.

All bodily ailments are more or less
urgent appeals for help; nor can we
doubt in what that help should consist.
The more fully we understand the nat
ure of any disease, the more clearly we
see that the discovery of the cause
means the discovery of The cure. Many
sicknesses are caused by poisons, foist-
ed upon the system under the name of
tonic beverages or remedial drugs; the
only cure is to esohew the poison. 9th
erS, by habits more or less at variance
with the health laws of Nature; to
cure such we have to reform our habits.
There is nothing accidental and rarely
anything inevitable, about disease;
we can only assume that nine out of
ten complaints have been caused and
can be cured by the sufferers Cor their
nurses) themselves. "God made man
upright every prostrating malady is
a deviation from the state of nature.
The infant, ''mewling and puking in its
nurses arms is an abnormal phenom-
enon. Infancy should be a period of
exceptional health; the young of other
creatures are healthier, as well as pretti.
er, purer and merrier, than the adults,
yet the childhood years of the human
animal are the years of sorest sickli-
ness; statistics show that among the
Caucasian races men of thirty have
more hope to reach good old age than
a newborn child has to reach the end
of its second year. The reason is this /:
The health, theories of the average
Christian man and woman are so eyre
giously wrong, that only the opposition
of their better instincts help them
against their conscience, as it were
to maintain the struggle for a tolerable
existence with anything like success,
while the helpless infant has to conform
to those theories the above re-
suits. ..

Dr.. Schrodt, "that, apart from the eff
fects of wounds, the chances of health
or disease are in our own hands; and,

Locking the Doors Of Railway Car.
riageS. rr ..t

Englishmen are gradually becoming
aware of the many disadvantages con.
nected with their present railway ar
engagements. The following complaint
is taken from the editorial columns of
the Pail Mall Gazette; -l- .-vY
'The locking of the doors of railway
carriages is one of the mysteries of rail-
way management. No passenger has
ever been able to divine why such inf
mite pains are taken to lock him in.
The only result of the process is that if
there is an accidentheis prisoner with
a chance of being killed. If, on the
contrary, his train arrives safely at his
destination, he is still a prisoner, who
has to wait till he is liberated, making
meanwhile, spasmodic signals to attract
some friendly porter for the purpose,
unless, having grown wise by expert
ence, he carries a key himself and is
able triumphantly to emerge. Some
people imagine that a regulation of the
Board of Trade obliges this extraordi-
nary precaution. No such regulation,
however, exists On the contrary the
greatest diversity of practice prevails
on the subject. One company locks its
carriage doors on the main line only,
another on the branch and main lines
both, a third on single lines only, 8
fourth does not lock its carriage doors
at all. And the extraordinary thing is
that the companies that entirely neg.
lect the custom find no disadvantage
whatever in doing SO. Onthe contrary
their porters are able to attend to other
matters during the time when. ,they
would have been locking and unlocking
doors. The following are the RAILWAY
companies who do not lock their doors
on either side of their trains: In Scot
land; The Glasgow & South Western
Great Northern of Scotland, Highland
and North British. In England: Grea
Eastern, London, Chatham & Dove
and North Eastern. 1t is hard to Sc,
why in these days of falling dividend,
other companies do not follow thcr ex
ample"

Winter Dairying.

80. d
Shall we state again, in as few words
as possible, what seems to us to be the
advantage of winter dairying over our
common way Of summer dairy workp
In the first place, more, butter can be
made in the year. WhyP The cows
will be in better condition as, to flesh ut
the time they drop their calf. Dropping
her calf in November or December the
calf can be fed BETTER as we'll as the
COW, because the person has more time
to attend them, The ,cow,if fed grain
no man can afford to milk a good COW
without feeding her-wilf give richer
milk than on grass, and If not quite as
much it will make us much more ibutter7
through the winter months than in the
summer when she drops the u calf in
April. Being fed grain the COW comes
onto grass strong, and through the grass
season she will give nearly as much
milk as when she comes min the spring.
When dried up in September or October
she will get fat by the time she comes
[ in again, and so the year around she is
in much better condition than when she
comes in in the spring. We all know
how sicklY and poor our COWS are in
this country in the spring, and it takes
nearly all summer to get them up in
condition to give much milk. The point
we make, that the farmers have the
time in the winter to attend to the care
and feeding of cows and calves, is a
good one. In years past the problem.
how shall the farmer on a prairie farm.
where he raises grain mostly, put in his
time in winter,'was to us a serious one.
y Stock raising and .dairying, especially
winter dairying, solves that problem;
Then again, as to calves. There is no
question that calveslraisede by hand, If
dropped in the late fall, will make at
one year old, or can be made to make a
better Vearling than one dropped in
April or May. The reason is this: By
SPRING the young thing win be able to
run right out with the herd and have
the new and tender, grass; whereas, in
the old way, as most, OF farmers
practice, they are weaned from milk
feed lust about the time the flies are
the worst, and grass the toughest and
poorest. We ali have had our eyes
panied at the sight of the poor, half,
starved and fiy-eateno things in August
and September If i've adopt winter
dairying we shall get into the habit Of
feeding more grain to both COW and
calf, and that would be great gain WI
4 One very important point more and we
leave the subject for this time. BY
this method Of winter dairying we have
our calves weaned and Off on grass BY
Che time our pigs want the SKINNED
milk. All farmers can see at once th%
this is not mean advantage. These
are some of the advantages of winter
work rim the dairy. LID. s. Germ !" +
