BOARDOF HEALTH.
The Regular Meeting Last Eveai

The regular weekly meeting of the
Board Of Health was held last evening
with President Bush in tho chair. The
committee on the nuisance of smoke
from Davidson & Brothers reported
that 1t was abated. Drs. Grimshaw
and Springer, the committee on the
nuisance com planned of at Silver Brook,
reported that the stencil from the pig
pens in that vicinity is intOlerable, and
the Secretary was ordered to notify the
owners to abate the nuisance within ten
days.
DR.. Grimshaw and Mr.. Gawthrop
reported that they had examined the
slaughter houses and pig-pens Of Daniel
Bickta and Joseph Beste, at Eighth
and Monroe streets, and found them in
a satisfactory condition, but were con-
tinued at their own request to examine
still further. Charles L. Plocher's
slaughter house at No. GIG West Front

account of the blood and refuse running
into his neighbors' yards. The Secreta-

Sunshine and Sleep.

Sleepless people-and there are
many in America, should court the
sun. The very worst soporifc is lau-
danum, and the very best sunshine.
Therefore, it is very plain that poor
sleepers should pass as many hours
as possible in the sunshine, and as
few as possible in the shade. Many
women are martyrs, and yet they do
not know it. They shut the sunshine
out of their houses and their hearts,
they wear wells, they carry parasols,
they do all possible to keep off the
subtlest and yet the most potent in
fuence which is intended to give them
strength and beauty and cheerfulness.
Is it not time to change this, and SO
get color and roses in our pale cheeks,
strength in our weak backs, and cour-
age in our timid souls? The women
of America are pale and delicate;
they may be blooming and strong,
and the sunlight may be a potent
influence in this transformation.--Ru-
raj Ne,c Yorker.

How Drink Kills.
From the Hartford Courant.

1t has been my duty to read the
records of and to make careful inquiry
into the lastillness and death of many
thousand persons of all classes in all
parts of the country. Two great fea-
lures are shown in those records
the value of mans inheritance of
vitality, and the modifying force of
habits of living upon that vitality
Every man is born with an amount of
vital force that ought, accidents apart
and humanity speaking, to carry him
a specific distance on the scale of
wears, and each mans inheritance
can, on the average, be fairly determ-
med. Among the persons selected
with care for physical soundness and
sobriety, and who are as a rule re-
spectacle and useful members of So
ciety, the death rate is more profound
| ly affected by the use of intoxicating
drinks than by any other one cause
apart from heredity. There are not,
among insured men, a great many
deaths in the gutter nor of dellr1um
tremens. There are a great many
hob nailed livers, and other diseases
whose history is not far to seek; but
in the majority of cases the effect is
mainly apparent in the predisposltlon
to disease caused by drink and the
sap of the vital powers, impalrlng
their ability to maintain healthy ac-
ton under adverse circumstances, to
sustain a conflict with disease, or to
rally from shock. The degree to
which many diseases commonly re-
ferred to malaria, overwork, and other
vague, general scapegoat cause, are
actually grounded In what would al
most invariably be called temperate
use of drink by persons Of reputed
temperate habits, would be incredible
to the mass Of people accustomed to
a careful observation and comparison
of related cases. That habitual, sot-
fisa drunkenness should issue in dis
ease and death most people can I'M
de~staud. but that moderate, orderly,
decorols indulgence should issue m
coucested brains, insanity, suicide,
naralvsis. diseases of the kidneys,
liver. stomach, in phenumonia, rheu-
mats, and in general IN those diseases
which AT bottom mean a poison I'M
ported into the blood, most persons
90 not know and are slow to believe.

Type Sizes.

Originally there were but seven siz-
es. The first was called prima,
whence the name primer. 1t is now
known as two-line English. The
second was secunda, now our double
pica---in France, great paragon. The
third was tertia, at present our great
primer. Then there was the middle
size, still called in German mittel,
but it is now our English. After
these came the three sizes on the OPP
pesite side of the scale---pica, long
primer and brewer, in Germany the
names secunda, tertia and mittel are
still retained.

Bananas and Plantains.

A pound of. bananas contain more
nutrilnent than three pounds OF meat
or many pounds of potatoes, while as as
a food it is in every sense OF the word
far superior to the best wheaton bread

much food material as 33 acres OF
wheat or over 100 acres of potatoes.
The banana, then, is the bread q
millions who could not well subslst
without it. In Brazil it is the pnncl-
pal food of the laboring classes, While
1t Is no less priced in the Islands OF
Cuba. Indeed, in the later country
the sugar-planters grow orchards OF IL
