The TOWER of Babel, it may well be said
had valuable sanitary point, whether
that was the objective point or not. In the
light of scientific sanitary discoveries it is
alleged that in atmospheric altitude abide
health and safety. It is alleged that the
sanitary congress lately in session in Lon
don, discovered means of obtaining fresh
air, and good health, without going to the
seaside. Careful examination produced
the conviction that the air is wonderfully
improved at an accessible altitude say
seventy feet above the earth, and is Meth
or cold in winter, nor warm in summer
and is comparatively free from dampness
and all impurities. The congress, there.
fore, approved and advocated the building
of very high houses. The occupation OF
upper story rooms by convalescenrs has
been adopted by all the London and some
New York hospitals with good results. II
is recommended in addition to altitude
that all houses be built ON arches, or raised
on piers, 80 as to allow a thorough ventila-
ton below, without which, the congress
took the extreme and start
ling ground that no house is inhabita-
BILE. Both of these ideas, (which, certain
ly, have much of common sense to com
mend them) are being rapidly adopted in
London, and even in New York. Disease,
it is claimed. hardly ever rises more than
seventy feet above the earth, or above the
sixth story. The fashion in New York just
now is for houses from eight to ten stories
high, and this strong Endorsement will un-
doubleday give this fashion decided boom
that will convert the metropolis into a
succession of buildings comparing favora-
bly, in altitude with the tower of Babel. If,
az this sanitary congress say, residence in
the eighth story is nearly a certain pre-
ventative against majority of diseases
floating around lower down, nearly every
body will insist upon occupying the gar
rets-and the upper, instead of tho lower
floors, will soon become the most valuable
in the house.
The Rev. De Witt Talmage in his taber-
nacle last Sabbath, preached about women,
taking for his text II. Kings, iv, 8: "And
it fell on that day that Elisha passed to
Shunem, where was great woman" This
woman had good husband, but he did not
appear to be of much account. There are
some women who by their superior intellect
and qualities of heart occupy the chief
place in the household. eff a man marry
a wise woman" said Mr.. Talmage, 'his for
tune is made; if he marries a fool, the
Lord help him. Men are often successful
because there is a reason at home for their
success. Some wives manage the farm,
and while the voices ON the Change may
be masculine, tho influences that control
them are often at home" The woman of
Shunem, Mr.. Talmage continued. was great
in her hospitality to the messenger of God,
great in her domestic life and her devotion
to her people, great in her piety. In speak
ing of her kindness to Elisha, DR..
Talmage said that books had been
written about the trials and hardships of
Christian preachers. Oh, that somebody
would write book about the rewards of
the Christian ministry he exclaimed.
Tho pastor is surrounded by the sympathy
and love of his people. If a cup of Bit
terness is placed on his table, hundreds are
anxious to help him drink it. Mr.. Tai
mage then related how young graduate
of the Theological seminary at New Bruins
wick was settled over his first church. He
had not the means to begin housekeeping.
After preaching for two or three weeks the
elders told him to take a short vacation.
He departed fearing that this was a hint
that his services were not required. In a
few days he returned. On opening the
front door he found the hall was carpeted,
the parlor was furnished, pictures being
hung on the walls. In the study was the
table and easy-chair and shelves filled with
costly books far beyond the means of the
young clergyman. In the dining room
the table was set with silver and glasses.
In the cellar there was coal for a whole
winter, and in the pantry, flour, sugar and
spices for six months. In the kitchen he
found a range all ready to light. and all
that young man had to begin housekeep-
ing was to strike match. This is not
apocryphal," said Mr.. Talmage, "for that
young man was l."
In getting out of a tram-car he hap
pened to stumble over the foot of q
young lady who was sitting next the
door. The damsel, COMPRISING her
brow into an awe-inspiring frown, ejac-
ulated: ':You clumsy fcllow!" Many
men would have looked foolish and
apologized, but this ono was equal to
the occasion. "My dear young lady, {"
he exclaimed, "you should have feet
large enough to be seen, and then they
wouldn't be trodden upon"
