SICKNESS A DISGRACE.

F
DIR. Felix L. Oswald in Popular Science
Monthly, says 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 nature of any
disease, the more clearly we see that the dis
covery of the cause means the discovery OF
the cure. Many sicknesses are caused by
poisons foisted upon the system under the
name of tonics, beverages or medical drugs
the only cure is to eschew 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 moth
ing accidental and rarely anything inevitable
about disease; we can safely assume that
nine ont of ten complaints have been caused
and can be cured by the sufferers Cor their
nufses) themselves. g God made man ,ip-
right; every prostrating malady is devia-
ton from the state of nature. The infant
"mewling and puking in its nurses arms"
is an abnormal phenomenon. Infancy should
be a period of exceptional health the young
of other creatures are healthier, as well az
prettier, purer and merrier than the adults,
yet the childhood years of the human ami
mai arc the years of sorest sickness statis-
ties 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 rea-
son is this: The health theories of the nv
erage Christian man and woman are soegre-
giously wrong that only the opposition of
their better instincts helps against
their conscience, as it werc--to maintain the
struggle for tolerable existence with any
thing like success, while the helpless infant
has to conform to those theories-with the
above results ''I have long ceased TO
doubt" says DR.. Schrodt, that apart from
the effects of wounds the chances of health
or disease are in our own hands; and If peo-
pie knew only half the facts pointing that
way, they would feel ashamed to be sick or
to have sick children. I'd

The San Francisco Eransiney says A
singular collection Of unclaimed property has
been accumulated by the South Pacific Coast
Passenger Department during the past two
or three years. Nowhere except in the city
OF San Francisco could such a queer assort-
ment of stray articles be gathered together.
1t is customary upon this, as well as all other
well-regulated railroads, to preserve all un-
claimed articles left by passengers upon any
portion of the railroad. These are sent 10 the
headquarters in this city, where a record is
kept of the day and place of the finding of
the articles, and so exact are the require
ments that even the smallest and most tri-
fling trinket must be reported by the train
men or ferryboat crew-a deviation from
this rule being punished by immediate dis.
missal. The accumulated findings upon
ferryboats and passenger trains for the past
three years were taken out and assorted the
other day at the Alameda Ferry wharf 1t
was veritable "Old Curiosity Shoe.n so
varied was the character of the goods Mr..
Miller, the suave and popular ticket cclec-
tor, undertook the task of investigating the
contents of the valises, baskets, bundles and
packages left behind by absent-minded pas
sengers, and he now knows more concerning
ladies' trinkets and wardrobes than any other
man. Such display of queer-shaped gar
ments was never seen by man, and many
were the ordinations of wonder and sur
prise as yalise after valise gave forth Its
mysterious contents. There were lunch
baskets, the relics OF picnics long past and
forgotten; here tramp's bundle, foul and
odorous now lot of blankets, no doubt lost
by some herder or cowboy !" here pack
age of dry goods, then lot of household
trinkets or bottle of medicinal compound
gripsacks with socks, collars, whiskey TASKS
and decks Of cards; old books remnants
of clothing, clasps, buckles spectacles and
! gloves. AS for canes, walking sticks, old
hats, and umbrellas, they were there in bum
dies and by dozens. 1t seems that people
lose more parasols than anything else, and,
strange TO say, out of the dozens gathered up
during the past two or three years on the
little narrow guage road or on the ferryboats
not one WAS worth carrying across the hay.
By direction of Superintendent Fracker, Mr..
Miller has made up several large bundles of
clothing for Mrs. Cooper's kindergarten
children and for other charities There was
quite an assortment of children's cloaks,
hats, listers, dresses, and shawls in the un-
claimed baggage, which will be acceptable
to the friendless. The greatest curiosities
of oil were contained in the Chinaman's lost
baggage Mr. Miller is at loss to decide
whether some of the Monaghan garments
belong to the male or female gender, or
whether they are mot style of bathing Co.'S
tune for use in the Alameda baths. As
whole the collection is q great curiosity and
sufficient in quantity to fill an ordinary siz-
ed museum.

SNAILS AS FOOD,

Snail eating, says Mr.. Thomas Bowditch in
the Troy Times, has been in vogue for many
centuries, and was considered by the ancient
Romans one of their table Injuries. In
Pliny's time Barbary snails stood first in re-
pute, those in Sicily ranking next and it
was the custom to fatten them for the table
by dieting them upon meal and new wine.
In modern Rome fresh gathered snails are
hawked by women from door to door, who
boil them in their shells, stew them, or fry
them in oil. Snails are gathered off vince
by the peasantry in the wine district OF
France, and are sent up in cases and wicker
baskets to Paris halles, where they are sold
by auction, and are purchased by people
who make it their business to prepare them
for the restaurants and charcutiers They
are killed by being placed in sealding water
and after being removed from their shells by
the aid of piece of wire, are thrown into
an immense copper kettle and boiled for
three-quarters OF an hour in mixture
composed of water, vinegar salt, and herbs
They are then replaced in their shells, the
mouths of which are closed with butter
and parsley and are ready for sale. To
prepare them for the table, it suffices to
place them in the frying pan for few min.
utes with small piece of butter, and with.
out removing them from their shells. They
are sold at the wine shops and charcu.
tiers at thirty and forty confines per doz-
en-.

CAN PROTECT THEMSELVES.

There are SO many women who sadly
shrink into corner when insrilted and abus-
cd that it refreshing now and then to hear of
one who takes her own part and fights her
own battles. The Rochester girl who smote
IN impudent man with her hymn-book is a
pleasant instance of the fair exercise OF wo-
mans rights While on her way to church
smooth-tongued ruffian offered to be her
companion. Seeing that his offer was for
no good purpose and that there was but one
way to get rid of him she promptly took
that way. The hymn-book was her only
weapon, but she made the most of it. In
short metre, she hit him powerful blow
upon his face, causing him to sing something
which did not sound exactly like halleluiah
or an anthem of jubiant praise Indeed,
it WIS more like q occasional anthem, for
the rascal retreated as he sang it. Near
Brooklyn there was another and more seIi-
GUS case. A tipsy fellow followed young
woman who was driving in a light wagon
IN which she was carrying the mail. He
tried to drive his wagon in front of hers and
Wheh ne Auiieo III tills nc pushed her Venlete
into ditch, knocking off wheel. Then
he assailed her with abusive Language.
Thereupon the young woman snote him
with o whip handle and prevailedagainsth him,
wounding him and leaving Kim in his own
wagon, with his head hanging over tho tail.
board 1t seems thispunishment was greater
than he conld bear, for in the course of the
following night he died. The woman could
not be blamed for this result for she had
not intended to do more than to defend her.
self. As for the man, there is not much
cause for sympathy with him. A fellow who
thus conducts himself towards woman
takes all the risk and deserves all the conse.
quences.

THE VENUS OF MILO.

Mr.. Nasty of Toledo, has been visiting
the Louvre in Paris, and he expresses lis
feelings regarding the Venus of Milo as fol-
lows There is a long vista of beautiful
statues lining the way ON either side to the
crimson chamber, which, with its gentle
lights and shades, makes the picture per-
feet, and as one feels the delight of the
scene, he ceases to wonder at the rawlings of
artists and lovers of art over the Venus OF
Milo.
There, i'll the centre of the crimson room,
stands the armless figure whose perfection
of form and face has never been equalled
II stands alone, with nothing near to dis
tract the mind by divided attention, and as
the lover of the beautiful looks upon the
wondrous beauty of that speeches. yet
speaking statue, admiration ripens into ador-
alton.
Even Tibbitts and the faro bankeress
stood still and silent before il for full twen-
ty minutes, and no greater compliment was
ever paid a work of art. 1t even interested
them.
The figure compels feeling. You do not
feel that You are enjoying rare sculpture,
but your sympathies go ont to the beautiful
form before you, not in cold marble, but in
ife-real life, with all the tender qualities
belonging in nature to such perfect face
and figure.
This may be gush but there is something
about this block of marble that is fascina-
ting beyond expression. In it art has con-
quered material. The marble lives and
breathes. 1t is marble, but it is marble en-
lowed with life. Or rather it is not marble,
i, is life resembling marble. 1t is a dream
caught and materialized. If it is not Nature,
1t is more than Nature. II is a poets idea
of what Nature should be.

GOLD IN THE MAns.--On an average
$500, 900 in gold coin, bullion, or jewelry 10
sent every day as third class mail matter
through the San Francisco Post Office.
Half of this is shipped by the Government !;
the rest is private remittanoes. There is no
armed guard or other precaution against rob-
berry, and private shipments are simply en-
closed in ordinary wooden boxes. Before
Secretary Sherman originated the present
system of exchanges through the Post Office,
gold was charged letter rates, or $500 per
$1,000, and its transportation was profitable;
but now the postage and registration fee
amount to only 20 cents, and gold shipments
are loss to the postal department, besides
Offering temptations to criminal enterprises.
Nearly $6, 900, 900 was sent across the Cal
ifornia State line within a few days, shortly
before the last tax levy, to escape assess
ment This state of things has been brought
to public notice by the recent attempt to
rob an east-bound train at Cape Horn, In
the Sierras, and the question now asked ID,
should the government compete with regu-
bar transportation companies IN business of
such q risty character?

THE, DOLL-CHlLD.


A writer in the Philadelphia Times says
fnadvisable as it may be for II woman to
train up her infant to be doll, there are
mothers who consider this the best sort of
training. "I'rain up child in the way he
should 60" says the Scripture, and these
women think the way their children should
go is stiff and constrained way, like the
motions Of wooden-joint dolls or transmitted
rag babies trying to walk on their own ae-
count. In order to keep these children from
being like others of their race the mothers
provide for them codes of rules and regula-
ruled and regulated is tortured into that
grim state of servitude which is the lot Of
an organ-grinder's monkey, the chief differ
ence being that the doll-child lacks the vi
vacity which that frisky animal SO persist
entity exhibits. The doh is as painfully par
ticular about dress, diet nd.draft rs SPINS
ter of sixty. She never romps and skips
like other children. If asked at the table to
take more food she timidly replies, Just
little, If you please" She knows not what
hearty appetite is nor can she enjoy good
meal. BY maternal command she rejects
half the things which ordinary people eat,
all the time wondering why those people are
not struck dead for violating the course of
nature in swallowing such things. She new
err laughs a vigorous laugh, but daintily
smiles weak 'te-he," and considers that
any expression of mirth beyond this is gross
and eensurable hilarity The doll-child
grows up unlike other children in all hei
ways. She avoids them for fear of contain
nation. They avoid her because they re-
gard her odd and queer. In the midst o
the busy life which surrounds her she be
comes hermit,
