The Report ofthe Wisconsin State
Board of Health has just been issued
a copy of which. has been received at
this Office. 1t has many valuable sug-
gestions for the removal of causes OF
sickness. and sanitary regulations for
the preservation of health. The i'm
portance of public documents of this
kind is apt to be underestimate.

1t is difficult 20 estimate the number
of people who participated in the cele-
bration of the day in this city. There
were three principal points of attrac-
ton, at considerable distances apart
these were the race course, the festivi-
ties on Washington Island. and the ex-
ercises on the Park. So far as learned,
good order prevailed at each Of these
places. and no serious accidents oc-

A SENSIBLE TOUR OF RECRE.
ALTON. aen

A party of six gentlemen and five
ladies, who move in the best ranks of
Washington city society, are preparing
for a six weeks tour in the mountains
of Virginia. They will start in July
and walk all the way. They will take
two tents, one for gentlemen and one
for ladies; also provisions and the me-
cessary cooking utensils. They will
have one wagon to carry their baggage.
tents, provisions, ETC., each taking
turns in driving. Four of the ladies
being single they will take one married
lady 10 accompany them. No servant
will be taken; they will do their own
work. 1t is reasonable to presume if
they make tho tour leisurely, ENJOYING
the mountain scenery. and breathing
the pure mountain air, they will. on
their return, especially the ladies, find
themselves invlgorated and stronger
for the enjoyments and future activi-
ties of life.

CHAPTER ON TORNADOES AND
ie1 aA7'a FLOODS. loa )ais91 .8g

g .s
Some man whose vocation is the
compiling of statistics may be expect
Ell to furnish summary statement of
.tornadoes, cyclones and floods in yari-
Gus sections of country, together with
the loss of life, and estimated amount
of property destroyed during the three
months preceding the present July.
The year 1888 will be noted in the
calendar as one of the extraordinary
years in the century, for destruction
of life and property from tempest and
flood. Especially in the localities
where the disasters were greatest, the
story of these fearful visitations will
be told during The present generation.
The tempests have been lawless, at
least governed by no known law in
their courses. For the first time in the
past half century has the inquiry been
general. where can safety from storm
be found? Only a few weeks ago thous
ands of families were considering the
caves of the earth as their refuge on
the approach of the maddened lorna
do; the strongest habitations had
proved insecure for the protection of
life. Over some parts of the country,
especially the valley of the Mississippi,
the windows of heaven were opened /,
as in the days Of the worlds great
over flow; thousands of cultivated
fields were deluged, houses. cattle and
all kinds of farm stock and growing
crops were engulfed or swept away,
with much loss of human life. For
the past week or two, the disturbed
elements seem to have become COM
posed and quieted again; the people
are growing less panicy, and have al
ready almost ceased to startle when a
dark cloud hovers on the distant hori-
son. E sef

lWOAEN as 0BF1cElHOLDERS.
1t takes time to subdus the preju-
dices against the holding of Office by
women. but year by year the opposition
is giving way, and progress for the
rights of women is steadily onward.
The question has recently arisen under
the new civil service rules, whether
women shall be put on an equality with
men in the matter of compensation
for the same kind of service? If the
service be Done equally and promptly
well by women as by men. it is the
height of absurdity to say their salar-
les should not be the same. Up to
1850 there were bat few women en-
ployed in the departments at Washing
ton or elsewhere in the public service.
Since then there have been great
changes; the records show there are
now 2,4O0 employees in the Treasury
Department at Washington, of which
number 700 are women. About 200
ARE employed in the pension Office, and
considerable number in the patent
Office. war department. bureau of
printing and engraving, and the
government printing Office. In all of
the departments the work of women
compares fayorably with the work
done by men. Many of the women in
the departments at Washington are
connected with the best families in
the country, north and south, are
highly educated and cultured, and find
admission to the best circles of society
in the city. All young women who
have any ambition Orise to sphere
of usefulness, and to become sharers
in the profits of honorable industry,
need not wait long; the day of their
deliyerance from an unjustifiable pre-.
judice is not far off. sd
