Heart Disease.

When an individual is reported
to have died of disease of the
heart, we are in the habit of regarding
it as an inevitable event, as something
which could not have been foreseen OF
prevented, and it is too much the habit,
when persons suddenly fall down dead,
to report the heart as the cause this
slences all inquiry and investigation,
and saves the trouble and Inconvenience
of post morten, A truer report would
have tendency to save many lives. 1t
is through report Of disease of the
heart that many an opium eater is let
off into the grave, which covers at once
his folly and his crime; the brandy
drinker, too, quietly slides around the
corner thus, and is heard of no more in
short, this report of disease of the heart
is the mantle of charity which the pol
itic coroner and sympathetic physician
throw around the graves Of generous
people.
At scientific congress at Strasbourg
it was reported that, of sixty-six persons
who had suddenly died, an immediate
and faithful post mortem showed that
only two persons had any heart affec-
ton whatever-one sudden death only
in thirty-three, from diseases of the
heart. Nine out of sixty die Of apoplexy
one out of every seven while forty
six-more than two out of three-died of
lung affection, half of them congestion
OF the lungs, that is, the lungs were so
full of blood they could not work there
was not room for air enough to get in to
support life. It is, then, OF considerable
practical interest to know some of the
common every Gay causes Of this con-
gestion Of the lungs, disease which,
the figures above being true, kills three
times as many persons at short warning
as apoplexy and heart disease together.
Cold feet, tight shoes, light clothing,
costive bowels, sitting still until chilled
through after having been warmed up
by labor or long, hasty walk; going
too suddenly from close, heated room,
as a lounger, or listener, or speaker,
while the body is weakened by continu-
al application, or abstinence, or heated
by long address these are the fright
full causes of sudden death in the form of
congestion of the lungs; but which, be-
ing falsely reported as disease Of the
heart, and regarded as an inevitable
event, throws people off their guard, in
stead of pointing them plainly to the
true causes, all of which are avoidable,
and very easily so, as general rule,
when the mind has once been intelli-
gently drawn on the subject. Halls

Food AdnlteratiOn.

The adulteration of food, condiments
and beverages has become an immense
business from which some very respect
allie people derive very respectable prof
its. But all this is so artfully done that
in many articles of diet it is quite impos-
sible for the majority of people to detect
the cheat" and we are inclined to
praise the skill displayed in this work at
the same time that we denounce this
policy OF deception. s7a
Many people would not seriously OBJ
ject to eating oleomargarine, knowing
it to be such, but they do object to eat
ing it for butter. When sold as oleo-
margarine it is well enough, for when
properly manufactured it is much more
wholesome and nutritious than poor

Indian Washerwomen in Mexico.

A great chatter, ripples of laughter,
sounds of sullen thumpings! These
will greet the visitor to the capital Of
Mexico in many of its quaint and Old
World streets. A broad bar of golden
sunlight comes from ont an open gate
way and within.a patio, or yard, are
the larander0S, or laundresses. Water
is scarce, terribly so, in Mexico, hence
the existence of so many public wash
houses where the gossiping women
most do congregate, A large oblong
tank stands in the centre of the court.
1t is one foot deep and filed with water
from the celebrated aqueduct of
Belen, which runs on Roman arches,
festooned with lichens and MOSES and
ferns, from Chapultepec, the favorite
residence of the Inflated Maximillian.

be daily witnessed within it's pre-

ChicagO,s Watch.Boxes.


Chicago is ahead of all cities in the
Union in one respect, and that is in the
employment Of what are called watch
boxes" They have been in use but a
very short time, yet they have so demon
strated their. utility that people now
wonder how they ever got along without
them. They are made of wood, are
either square or sextagonal in shape, are
about three feet in diameter and seven
feet high, and are provided with tele-
phone locked in box through slot in
which runs o telegraph alarm lever.
Each box is provided with door that is
kept securely locked. The square boxes
are usually fastened to o telegraph-pole,
while the sextagonal or newer form take
the place Of o lamp-post at the corner OF
street, the lamp being placed on it's
apex. Every member of the police and
fire departments is furnished with keys
to the doors of the ch-boxes, and
also with keys to open the boxes con-
tanning the telephones. Any RESPONSE
BILE citizen who desires can procure key
to the doors of the watch boxes upon
making application at the police head
quarters. Each key is lettered and
numbered, and register of the names
and residences of the parties to whor,
they are furnished is kept. The boxes
adjuncts are trim-built wagons, each
drawn by two good horses. They are
stationed at convenient intervals
throughout the city. Each wagon is
manned by driver and two policemen.
We will suppose citizen is passing
along the street late at night, when he
encounters q gang of drunken roughs
who assault him. There is no policeman
within call to assist him, SO the gang,
after pushing and jostling him about,
90 on their way. The citizen goes to the
next corner, takes out his key and opens
the door of the Matchbox and pulls
down the lever of the telegraph alarm.
Each Matchbox has it's number and To-
cation recorded, the same as ale fire.
alarm boxes. In less than three minutes,
and often in minute, the wagon is at
his side with two policemen to assist
him. The citizen meanwhile has his key
remaining in the box, for while it throws
the lock-bolt back the same motion Sc

not take it out until it is released by a
special KEY, which is only carried by
police and firemen. If the citizen is
badly injured the wagon takes him to his
home or the hospital, while the police go
in search OF the ruffians who have mo-
Tested him. This is only one of the
numberless ways in which the box can
be made useful. It is also used by the
police to have drunken or obstreperous
prisoners taken to the station-houses
without causing the patrolmen to leave
their beats, etc. They not only assist in
the capture of criminals, but, by making
their capture more easy and certain than
formerly, they prevent many Of them
from committing depredations. In case
of riot or time Of great need peculiar
alarm is sounded on the engine-house
bells, when every policeman in the city
goes to the nearest watch box on his
beat and receives instantaneous tele-
phone orders, telling him where to go
and what to do when he gets there.
These watch boxes only cost 800 set up
ready for use.-

the tank. and stone troughs placed at
even distances are provided for the
industrious laundresses, for they are
Chinese in their unceasing toll. There
is a nominal charge for permission to
wash, and as many as fifty women may
be seen engaged at the same time.
AS in Spain, their attire is of the
scantiest nature possible, and once the
reboza is cast aside--well, a very dim.

Mesnerism.

Mesmerism, or animal magnetism as
it was formerly called, first excited pub
lie notice about the middle of the last
century, when several persons in differ
emit parts Of Europe conceived that men
are sensible to it's influence. Macmillan
He'll, Professor Of Astronomy at Vienna,
advised Q773). Baden physician of his
acquaintance, Anton Mesmer-whence
the name mesmerism-to try If he could
not cure disease with the magnet. The
doctor, pleased with the idea, expert
mented actively, and, finding that he
could affect very. singularly number OF
his patients, laid claim to the discovery
OF a new remedial agent. Many suffer-
ers were healed; popular attention was
aroused on the subject, and Mesmer
gained wide fame. A controversy arose
between him and He'll, the former de-
claring that he did not cure his patients
by mineral but by animal magnetism,
developed by his own body, and con-
Quoted to his patients with or without
magnetism. The dispute waxed SO
fierce that Mesmer quilted Vienna for
Paris, whence, as from the great center
of literature and science, he proposed to
proclaim his new doctrines to the intel
lectual world. He caused great excite.
ment there, became celebrated, and
gained many converts, particularly
among the higher classes. He pub
ished several works on his favorite
topic, and they were very favorably re-
ceived. Although the French Govern
ment refused to grant him certain
chateau, with adjoining lands, as re-
ward for his discovery, to be employed
as a great healing institute, it offered
him an annual pension of 10000 livres.
He declined the offer. and complained
of the nations ingratitude. His follow
ers and friends, desiring to. compensate
him for what he had done, proposed to
form classes which he should instruct in
animalmagnetism. By these classeshegot

physician to the Kings brother. The
Government subsequently ordered the
medical faculty to investigate Mesmer's
theory, and a commission was appointed
for the purpose, Benjamin Franklin, La
voisier, Bailly and Jussieu being among
the members. Mesmer declined to ap-
pear before them, but they reported,
after careful research and inquiry, ad-
versely to his claims, deciding that the
influence exercised was due mainly to
the imagination. While his pupils ad-
hered to him, the general voice pro-
claimed him quack, and he was ex-
tinguished by it. He soon retired to
Morsburg (Baden), and died at an adj
vanced age in total obscurity. Mesmer's
animal magnetism was very unlike that
of the present day. He usually treated
his patients by placing magnets on diff
ferent parts of their body, or ranging
them arounda covered tub, from which an
iron rod went out to each person, the en-
tire party touching hands. He also made
passes with hands on or near their bod
les, causing nervous twitchings, drowsi-
ness, sleep, sometimes cramp, convul-
sions, and alienation of pain in those suf-
fering from nervous disorders.

Sights and Sight-seers in Washing

W. ton. 9sF'
Washington, during a session of
Congress, offers an endless variety of
sights to those who revel in what
Carlyle was wont to term the inner

comedy drama of the Constitution is
being played daily, and here it is that

treasures. Writing cards for country
visitors is an occupation that keeps a
