SeasOnable Suggestions How to Pro
mote SANITARY Reform.

Sanitary ordinances and regulations
are of very little effect unless they are
enforced il the household and main.
tanned by constant popular vigilance.
1T would seem, = says the SdnitGriaa for
June, ''that the people would embrace
eagerly any sanitary work which would
better their condition. But experience
shows this is not the case. What is
needed in sanitary reform is an intefiI-
gent cooperation from the people.
There must be, too, a moral force
behind the sanitary precepts, so
that when the precepts are
learned there will be courage and deter
mination to follow them. 1t is impossi-
bic to carry on sanitary work where
there is only a sentimental idea of it.
1t is all very nice for us to feel philan-
thropic, and to comfort ourselves with
the reflection that we read sanitary books
and attend sanitary conventions; but if,
while we do this, our foul drain is
sowing the seeds of disease, or our child
with sore throat (which may be mild
case of scarlet fever or diphtheria) is
attending school and spreading the dis
ease broadcast, surely we are very far
from the kingdom of sanitation. In
order to act intelligently we must
possess knowledge; and it is our duty 10
embrace every means in our power to
learn of the laws of disease as well as of
health, and, having done this, it is clearly
our duty to put the knowledge gained
into early and effective practice. Master
the principles of the sciences which are
the basis of public health work, and we
will be impressed with the fact that the
possibility of the prevention of death
and disease is not the dream of the SEN
tImentaIist but the deliberate conclusion
of the philosopher"

It is said that the temperance fever
runs so high in Southern California that
in one town two saloons have been blown
up with bombs. Some newspapers think
it would not be surprising to see the
temperance revival assume shape as q
great national movement. One editor
says there are signs of this in many quar-
ters-but they are not in the head quar-
tiers of that editor.

The Galveston NeUS believes that the
glory is departing from New York. II
sees evidence of this in the failure OF
the Worlds Fair, the shipment of grain
down the Mississippi. the loss of a large
share of the coffee trade, and various
other commercial disasters. New York
is still the financial capital of the coun-
try, the Nel0s admits. but it is rapidly
losing its position as the commercial

GRANT AND GARFIELD.-The friends
of General Grant say that neither he nor
they can ever, under any circumstances,
forgive President Garfield. They say
that General Grant was inVeigled into
the White House with the invitation to
a social breakfast, and asked with a par
ticular air of friendliness whether he
had any requests to make; that the pur-
pose was to betray him into giving in
formation as to how ne could best be
snubbed, as the only two requests he
made were ruthlessly disregarded. There
seems no doubt that President Garfield
viii have to encounter for the long re-
mainder of his term the active and bitter
opposition of the most influential ele-
ment of the Republican party.

Shooting Stars.

Some of the German astronomers who
have made the phenomens of shooting
stars q speciality in their Investigations,
conclude that the celestial spaces are, in
fact, traversed in every direction by an
immense number of comets, comprising
two kinds, w., those which move in the
same course as the planets; direct, and
those equally numerous that move in
the opposite direction, or retrograde.
Admitting then, the results of observa-
ton in respect to the direction of the
shooting, the following facts are sup
posed to be deducible: First, that there
are streams or currents of shooting stars
having for their duty to produce move.
ment in celestial bodies-these streams
corresponding to that being dependent
on comets of the first or direct order:
and secondly, streams of shooting stars
corresponding to comets of the second
order, and having for their special
function the moderation of this move
ment and transformation of the force OF
rotation and propulsion into heat.

The Scared Professor.

There is no use of Disgusting the fact
that the boys who attend our colleges
are pretty tough cases on general princi-
pies. Not that they would commit
crimes, or do things that are particularly
dishonorable, but they are as full OF the
old Nick as they can hold. You take the
best boy you can find in the public
schools, one who has had religious
training, aud seems to have pious turn
of mind, and who is so good that all the
other boys think he is bookedfor heaven,
and send him off to college, and you
want to watch him. The chances are
that he will come back with knowledge
of draw poker that will paralyze an old
gambler, and he will be, sure to be a
leader in all the deviltry that is going
on. An illustration of this was furnished
q short time ago in one of our state
colleges devoted to turning out pious
young men. The class in elocution was
furnished with professor from dis
tant city, who was very thorough In his
methods, but he didn't amount to any
thing at handling boys. He seemed to
look at them in the class room appeal
ingly, as much as to beg them not to
play any monkey work on him. The
boys saw he was afraid of them, and
they laid for him. They got into a dis
cussion over the proper way to render
passage from the poem, "The Boy
Stood on the Burning Deck, when one
of the students called the other liar.
The professor held up his hands in hor-
ror, and begged them to be seated, when
the young man who had been called
liar drew a revolver and shot at the
other student, who fell to the floor an
alleged corpse. The professor was wild,
and at this point the lights went out and
every student drew a revolver and began
firing blank cartridges in the air. Some
were armed with putty balls and eggs,
and at each discharge something would
strike the professor, and he thought he
WIS full of holes. A window was raised,
and by the light made by the exploding
cartridges pair of coat tails and legs
could be seen going out, and the pro-
fessor landed head first on some lilac
bushes. They rushed to the window
and the poor man, bruised and bleeding,
and as scared as it was possible for a
man to be, was running for dear life.
The next morning he took the train for
home, with black eye, and clothes
that looked as though something had
been scraped off of them, and the
faculty OF the college viii not know what
has become OF their profession of elocu-
ton till they read this. The boys 90
about their studies as though nothing
had happened, but they are trying to
think up some new deviltry. Boys will
be boys, and there is no way you can
prevent it, unless you break their backs.

Violin Making.

Vioiin making, in its perfection, is one
of the most difficult of callings. 1t is
apparently nothing more than the add
justment of certain bits of wood, which
are planed, filed, saw-cut, scratched,
sand-papered, carved, pegged, glued and
vanished; but to give it the soul re-
quires the highest capability of human
intelli4 ence. Hands must work in @
material which, though easier to cut
than metal, canrot be kept up to the
same degree of precision. Fingers must
be subservient to brain. Fer guide
you must have the fine appreciation Cd
tune quality. If with mechanical dex-
terity you possess the necessary fneness
of ear, your wooden case will give out
the sound of Gaurnerius, a Steiner, OF
an Amati. The trick of it all is so subtle
that he who makes a good violin is no
longer servile iEnitator. A common
place instrument may be quite within
the scope of good pattern-msker, but
a really fine violin, such as great solo,
list will accept, one perfect throughout
the whole register, one that responds to
the least touch of the finger, that makes
q pure and unalloyed sound, with the
tone quality, whether you just touch it
or rasp it with your bow-well, that is
nothing less than a chef-d'auvre. Why,
there are only four people to-day in the
world who can turn you out such an
instrument.
