day was ever observed In Europe, aud especially
in England the public expressions of grief are
such as were never before expressed for the death
of any American. Queen Victoria puts her court

Health and Science.

A good many years ago an epidemic
of disease was supposed to be a "visita-
ton," or Judgment" and prayers
were offered up that its progress might
be stayed. Nowadays, when individ-
uals or neighborhoods are attacked with
typhus fever, diphtheria, or any one Of
the long range of malarial disorders,
there is an immediate inquiry as to the
condition of that house, or that neigh
borhood, and the disease is traced to its
source of rotten vegetation, putrid filth,
foul air, bad drainage, or some other of
the uncleanly causes of zymotic disease.
For this advance we have to thank
physiological and sanitary science, but
it will not help us much to know thing
unless we act upon our knowled ge. It
will not get rid of the causes of. disease
to know what those causes are, unless
we 90 vigorously to work to cOunteract
them. 1t has been ascertained now be-
yond q doubt that infectious disease is
primarily occasioned by living germs
that these germs have their origin in
dirt, over-crowding, bad air, putrid veg
citation, imperfect drainage and the like
conditions. 1t makes no difference
whether these conditions are found in
tenement house, cottage or palace
the streets of the city, or the green lanes
of the country, the result is the same-it
is sickness and death.
1t is not entirely q gratifying thing to
lazy, irresponsible people to find that
health, and the best conditions for living
useful and reasonably happy lives, are
within their own power, and that they
are responsible for their fulfilment. 1t IS
so much easier to keep on in the old way,
TO pile up refuse, to let the drainage CO.,
to build house like a soap box, and
transfer the consequences to the shout
ders of providence, or the. Almighty.
But it is too late to do this now. PrOvi-
dence has been made responsible for the
results of our shortcomings long
enough; science has discovered that
they are within our control, and that it
is our business first to discover what
the laws are that govern. health and
disease, and then adapt ourselves and
our circumstances to the obligations they,
impose.
There is no occasion, in the nature of
things, for persons to be born diseased,
or die prematurely. A pure and tenn
perate life, in a healthy location, and
amid healthy surroundings, are fair
guarantees for green old age.-Dem-,

LATE European news: The harvest
prospects in Southern Russia are so brilliant
that II realized the abundance will be unpre-
cedented. This is due to the abnormal
quantity of rain the last two months, though
its continuance in some parts now excites a

Let the Boys Swim,

Such is the doctrine of the Buffalo
Express, which says: "IIalf the papers
you pick up nowadays have appeals to
the authorities of one sort or another
to protect society from the small boy
who persists in "going in swimming"
without clothes on Society, of course,
ought to be protected, but, on the other
hand, the boys ought to swim. 1t is
their nature 50 to do. II is odd That it
never occurs to society to look the other
way when the boys are about to swim.
That would perfectly protect society,
the boys, the authorities, and the news
papers. 1t seems like an easy thing to
do, but in practice society-or part
part of it-hnds it very hard to do-in
fact, quite impossible. And society
has been like that for at least u htnd-
red years. 1t was u little longer ago
than that when a solid Pennsylvania
Dutchman came into the presence of
the commander Of the British troops
then occupying Philadelphia, and com.
planned that the soldiers had u habit of
going to swim within sight of his
house, to the great annoyance of his
daughters. The general promised to
look into il. The officer sent to exam
inc reported that the swimming place
was so far from the house that the men
could not be seen. So they were al
lowed to continue. The Dutch father
came again to complain, and when
told of the officers report, replied:
"Ah, but those girls have got spy
glass" Let the boys get health and
fun in the water, and let society focus
its spy-glass in some other direction.

ings. DO we wonder that cruel men
still exist, who fail to recognize the
rights of animals? Notwithstanding
the teachings of Christianity for eight
cen hundred years, society is not ex-
empt from crime and immortality of all
grades, and each generation must be
taught anew the truths of Christianity
and the lessons of the moral code. Al
though mankind may never reach per-
fectiOn, there is such a perceptible i'm
prOvemcnt in the condition to which
the race has attained, under the con-
stant exercise of the powers of en-
lightenment and legal repression, that
the apostles of reform may well be en-
cOuraged at the grand results. To
have established the fact that humani-
ty to animals is a doctrine as impor-
tant and essential to the best Civiliza-
ton as any other requirement of reli-
giOn or morality is in itself a great ad-
vance over former generations. TO
have enlisted in this cause to a cOnsid-
cradle extent the great forces of the
pulpit, the press, and the schools is a
feature of promise TO have called
together in hundreds Of communities
bands of devoted men and women to
labor without hopes Of reward, or
the incentive of fame that attaches to
many public movements, is subject
for congratulatiOn. To see this work
grow slowly but surely, gaining solid
strength and a lirmer foundation, is es-
pccially gratifying. We may certainly
look for Il more rapid development Of
hgmane sentiments in the future, as
every day adds new converts to and in
crease5 the public interest in behalf Of
this movement
