Sanitary Condition OF Summer Resorts.

Within the last few years the demands
of the public in regard to health resorts
and watering places of this country have
increased, not only as to quantity, but
as to quality, Quite number of peo-
pie now require not only bathing, boat
ing, and amusements of various kinds
at their summer resort, but also that they
shall have some assurance that they shall
have pure water to drink, and that the
air which they are to breathe shall not
be rendered offensive or dangerous by
imperfect systems of house drainage
At the present time the dangers from
fouled water supply, especially if this
be derived from wells, are i'm most places
much greater in boarding houses than in
the hotels proper, and this is due to the
fact that the hotel proprietor is usually
not only sufficiently man of business TO
understand the Importance of keeping up
the reputation of his house for health
fulness, but his attention has been called
to the close connection which is now
generally believed to exist between such
diseases as typhoid fever, diarrh0a,
diptheria, etc., and methods of sewage
disposal, and he therefore pays more at.

about his premises than does the keeper
of the average clearinghouse. The
tendency of all popular health resorts is
to become unhealthy, because they de-
part more and more from their original
type, which is that of temporarily.
occupied camp. and tend to become vii.
lagos, with village methods of water
supply and disposal of excreta. This
appears in foreign health resorts as well
as in this country, and the insanitary con.
dition of some of the most famous water.
ing places is a common topic of discus.
sion in European medical and sanitary
journals. IL would certainly be wise on
the part of those selecting summer ro-
treat to give as much attention to the
watersupply and drainage as they usually
do to the table in making their selection,
but it must be confessed that at present
il is difficult to obtain satisfactory infor.
nation as to the sanitary condition OF
such places without personal visit to
the locality. We advise our readers to
look before they leap, for to leave ones
comfortable city home in pursuit Of
health and pleasure, and contract ty-
phoid rs the result, Is too much like
going out to look for wool and coming
back shorn. Sanitary Engineer.

dead child She told herself that II was
better IN It he should be with the angels,
and he would sing hymns, and perhaps
play in the golden streets; but she had a
hurt feeling, for he would never be her
own baby again. Mothers hearts are
hungry things, and she felt that she had
nothing left. Her husband OWNED this
mixed feeling. but in the shyness of his
new love could not penetrate her silence.
After while her strength failed; and,
in great anxiety, he brought her back TO
Cloverleigh, to the old rooms that had
been powered by the apple blossoms;
but blossoms and birds were all gone
now. Here Margaret grew restless; her
thoughts turned from little Jack for the
first time, and the afternoon after they
came she wandered out by herself to the
woods above the house. The sun was
shining and there were one or two late
daisies in the grass. She stopped and
gathered them. Her baby had been
fond of them, and she had made him so
many chains of them in the past summer,
and he had broken them, with his little
coo just like bird.
She went on, dry-eyed and desolate.
She started. Here was the place
where John had asked her to be his wife,
and with pang she remembered the in
tensity of her Joy. All! how the petals
had fallen from the flower. II had been
unjust of John to take her without low
ing her. He had sought her and wooed
her, and now she was so lonely.
She heard his step and turned to hide
from him, but the trees were bare now
Half curiously she looked at him. He
had not seen her yet, for his eyes were
bent on the ground. Unconscious of her
presence, he took no pains to hide his
dependency, and she could see how
grief-worn was the handsome, kindly
face. Contemplating him thus she for
got herself, and the old strong love
shonc in her eyes. He looked up and
saw her pale and slim in her black dress,
but there was that in those eyes which
drew him to her to murmur in her ear
how much he loved her. and she turned
to him as she had never done before. Il
am not worthy, dear" he said, having
also learned the divine humility.
So the bitter changed entirely to sweet;
not suddenly, for it took some time for
Margaret to lose her jealousy of the an
gels. And that time was chronicled in
her soul rs ''the winter our baby died,
and | first knew how dear l was to

BITTER. SWEET.


A symphony of sound and light and
scent. A voice of many birds twittering
delicately to each other from newly-built
nests, amid boughs that swayed to and
fro in the wind. and shook their latest
buds into leaf and blossom. Into the
woodland from far below came muir
muir of waves trailing on shingly beach,
and mingling with this murmur, the talk
and laughter of the fishermen mellowed
by distance. Right down through the
sloping woodland brooklet leaped tink-
ling and gurgling to the sea.
The dim fragrance and dappled lights
and pleasant sounds of the day made q
three-fold joy to young girl who stood
beneath the trees in the April noon. She
stood on part of the slope whence the
trees had drawn back a little, and the
light fell about her just beyond the verge
Of the shadow. Round her feet were
dead leaves and living flowers, and soft
green MOSES full of the sweet rain that
had fallen all the previous night. With
one hand she shaded her eyes, the other
was uplifted 10 tend back branch which
had barred the open space. Her hair
was blown in brown cloud about her
face, and her hazel eyes shone with a
serious Joy beneath the shading hand.
For the first time in her life she was
tasting that singular gladness which
comes to mind and body, when alone
with nature in spring, after long i'll
ness. To this full content of hers, all
the long hours of fevered tossing to and
fro, followed by tedious weeks OF conva-
lescence, were but a background.
And now into her loneliness there
came another human presence young
man, earelessly whistling, treading gayly
rivulet, and paused on the further side,
looking at the tall, slim figure in the soft
gray gown, crowned by the brown hair
and wistful face. Just one moment, and
he turned off little higher up and
sprang across the stream. Only one
look, and there might have been no Sec
ond; their lives might have glided apart
forever, but for an accident-or what we
call an accident; which is really strong
link in many chain of life. AS his
foot touched the bank he slipped on the
damp earth, spraining his ankle in the
fall. He drew himself into a sitting
posture and leaned against tree, faint
with pain. The young girl came quickly
toward him. II will run and get help"
she said, and meeting his grateful look
for moment, went quickly along the
path that led toward Cloverleigh, the
village where she and her father were
staying. AT a turning she met tall
scholarly looking man.
81 was looking for you, Margaret.
Are you wise to go bareheaded, my
childP' he said, anxiously.
my hat fell into the brook, and it is
SO mild. But, oh! papa, there is gen.
tleman hurt down there. He has
sprained his ankle and cannot walk"
And she waved her hand toward the
woods below. They found him faint and
white; but he made light of his suffering
as they helped him through the fringe of
apple and pear trees to his lodging in
Cloverleigh.
