HEALTR or SUMNER RESORTS.

The New jersey State Board of Health has just
made thorough examination of the drainage of the
summerng places along the coast. liz was tlme that
this should be done. The New-Jersey sea-coast is
rapidly becoming the great sanltarlum for NeW-fork
and Philadelphia. The climate Is pronounced by
physicians similar and equal in curative qualities to
that of Nice and hence at two points the ho-
tells are crowded all the year round. As in every
case where cities have sprung no with mushroom
rapidity, no attention in many instances has been
paid to drainage. THE TRIBUNE three years ago
first sounded warning note calling attention tothe
outbreak of typhoid fever in Ocean Grove
and Atlantic City IN the fall, when the poison from
the accumulated garbage of the summer had time
to percolate INTO the water springs. The present
action of the Board is intended to force measures of
precaution on the companies owning or controlling
these summer cities.
The sewerage system of Cape Nav IS pronounced

the supply is believed to be pure and neXhautible

other supply of water than that furnished by the
lake and driven wells is demanded. The tank INTO
which the sewerage system IL delivered Is denounced
as "illconstructed." Ocean Beach is i'll pretty much
the same condition. At Seagirt aud Point Pleasant,
the two best wooded and most beautiful retreats
upon this coast which have recently been opened to
the public the local boards make earnest promises
of sanitary precautions 1t Is TO be hoped that they

TIE TRIBUNE believes with large majority

that the Tariff Commissions report went, on

be made, still it remains true that an extreme
change at the very Outset would be rash anu

4 MEDICAL TRAGELT.

One Of the quictest villages in England has
Deon intensely excited 10y q remarkable episode
in medical practice. DR.. Edwardes, young
physician of excellent reputation, purchased IN
1881 share in the medical practice of DR..
Wbtmarsh, at Hounslow, paying $4,000 for
it. Having winning manners and being hap
PLY married, he soon succeeded in making him
self the more popular physician of the firm.
The practice, however, was not so large as he
had expected to find it, for at the close of the
first twelvcmonth, in October last, his share OF
the profits amounted to $40, out Of which he
had to pay for his horse and groom. A dispute
arose between the partners in regard to the
value of the practice. DIR. Whtmarsh contend

amounted to so much as in previous years, the

The House of Hapsburg having just celebrated its
SIX hundredth year of Austrian rule the English
ouid.nuncs have gone vigorously TO work to prove
thatthe Austrian ruling family are not Hapsbrrgs at
all. and that the only pure Hapsburg blood IS to
be found among the English Fieldlngs. This IL not
quite correct, although the matter affords curious
puzzle for historical students. The family of llaps
burg first took its name from castle built on a
lofty crag surrounding the Aar by a warhke
bishop of Strasburg in the eleventh century. HIS
nephew took the title of Graf Won Habichtsburg or
Hawks Castle. His direct descendant. in l232,
left two sons, of one of whom Rudolf. the English
family of Fielding the repre- sentatives. The
other Albrecht was the founder OF the Austrian
race Of Hapsburg that for four hundred years have
held the throne. The male line has failed more
than once but the woman representative has in
yariably been able to hold her own. notably IN the
case of Maria Theresa, who was better man than
those who went before her. One massive tower
vet exists OF the ancient castle which was the
birthplace of this great race. Many of our readers
have doubtless seen it rising on the mountain Ike
a gray landmark above the Canton of Berne, to
which it belongs.
