Sanator Elmunds bald head and gray
beard are responsible for some ridiculously
false conceptions of his age. One of the
Massachusetts correspondents of the New
York Times, in the article alluded to else
where, says; with the republicans Sem
ator Elmunds is mentioned oftener than
any other man, and but for old age and
impaired health they would push him to
the 'front.'" For the benefit of all concerned,
we will say that Senator Edmunds was IS
last February, and that his health is good
and his physique strong. He has no signs
'f breaking down either mentally or
physically, as yet; and his friends and
do not expect that he will

The cholera is at work in Egypt and NAV
be expected TO work it's way westward
But it will hardly get within reach of the
shores of America this year. 1t is fifty.one
years since it first visited this country and
its second and third visits, in 1850 and
1854 are well remembered in many of the
states. There is no large call for its
return by those who remember anything
of its doings. 1t was frightful disease in
more senses than one; for fright seemed
to be a thing that helped bring it on.
Those who were not afraid of 1t stood
much better chance not to have 1t than
those who became alarmed.

Pure Air.

jewellers In the mountain seek the sea
Not all of course, for most folks have t

round" Those who can afford 10 be
migratory get more benefit from the
"change" than from any particular health
giving power that is in one place more
than another.
But those who go and those who stay
need equally pure air. In times Of great
epidemics indeed there NAV b., no such
thing obtainable, but generally there is
considerable good air out doors. The
thing is to have as much of 1t for common
use as possible, and as little of its opposite
In the August North american Rertew
Mr.. Charles F. Wingate discusses certain
evils that atflict the homes of the richer
classes in cities and large towns. His
article is useful TO the generality of people
rather by what it hints than by what il
directly treats of.
Mr. Wingate shows how the houses of
the rich, adorned outwardly and inwardly,
have in many cases such poor work done
upon their system of drainage as to fill the
rooms with sewer gas and breed disease
And he tells how in the case of Prince
Albert cess.pool and in the case of the
Prince of Wales bad drainage of n palace
were causes Of sickness. 1t is true enough
that no drainage at all is better than drain
aye which merely gives way for sewer
gas to get into house.
Many farm houses dispose of their
"Slops" by throwing them out doors or by
surface drains that take them little way
from the doors. The action of the earth
and air is relied on to dispose of them
then. This is bad enough and should
be remedied by getting them farther
away. but it is better than making
"close connection" with some far off
receptacle by such means as will bring
back the worst part of the filth in the
form of gas.
Most folks can tell good air from bad
air and if they would pay attention to the
matter and be content only when their ,
rooms have plenty of pure, dry air, there
would be much less danger of the coming
or spreading of disease. Mr.. Wingate's
article will start up many of the owners of
fine horses to insist on better plumbing
And in ordinary cases and ordinary ..
houses, common sense and care cannot be
better exercised than when devoted to =,
making certainty of getti ng pure air to I
breathe by day and by night. l.

One of two positions only can consist
emily be taken in discussing the subject !;
first, to regard the Sabbath as divine
institution and 60 to the teachings Of scrip.
ture for light upon its proper observance ;
second, 10 regard it as human institution,
take the question entirely out of the realm
of religion and morals, and make the
observance Of the day matter of policy
or pleasure. The commingling of the two
positions leads to no logical and sound
conclusion but 10 confusion.
Whatever the most devout'' ministers
of the great cities may think, the churches
of this state believe that God Instituted the
Sabbath as day Of religious worship and
of rest from secular employments. The
running of Sunday train from one stale
is unnecessary. 1t would help no person
to religious observance of the ,lay. II
Is difficult to see how it could aid 10 the
physical rest, quiet or comfort of any resi-.
dent oil the great seaports on the Sabbat h.
The only argument in its favor seems
to be that 1t would add to the business
convenience of some people, and tend to
bring more money into the state during
the summer. On The other hand, the
running OF such train would add one 10
the number of Sunday trains in The coun.
try, and tend by its influence to add more.
Railroading is one of the great business
enterprises of the country EMPLOYING
many men and much capital, and the
growing disregard of the Sabbath by the
railroad corporations is doing much TO
destroy its ssnctity and quiet. The run
ming OF the proposed train would not only
necessitate the labor of train men and
station agents, but also disturb all the
along its route. aud either

There Is no warrant in the law or gospel
