The Improvement in Human Health.

In result of q somewhat large ac-
qualntance with the facts held to indi-
cate the state and progress OF "humap
health, / fear my testimony must be
given to show that the improvement
effected by science consists in prolong-
alton OF the passive endurance of life,
rather than an extension of the period
OF true vitality, or any increase of the
opportunity for good work and real in
teliectuai enjoyment. We may "ive
longer, but our lives are not either hap
pier nor more useful for the excessive en-
ergy recently devoted to the conserva-
ton of health, or the inordinate and
laborious means taken to avoid disease
and death. It may, doubtless, be posi-
bic to raise humanity to the level of one
of those scientific toys which approx
mate perpetual motion, but expend
their whole force III moving themselves.
Whether longevity purchased at the price
of passing lifetime in running away
from death would be worth having,
must leave to be determined by the
Judgment OF those who set a value on
our sO-called sanitary progress, which
l, for one, fail to recognize.
I think men were happier and better,
and lived nobler lives, before the persuit
Of health and the yearning for longevity
became craze, almost amounting to
madness. What to eat, drink and
many circumstances, beside the nature
Of food, which exert an influence on the
process of digestion. First and foremost
among these is the quantity Of food
taken; for the efficient performancebe
healthy digestion thestomach should @sof
fairly filed, but not distended. DIR.
Beaumont's experiments showed that
certain bulk was necessary for the per-
formance of healthy digestion. This
fact has long been known by practical
experience to uncivilized nations. Thus

John Jones' Monument.
BY REV. C. NJ. LIVINGSTON.

John Jones began at the age of fifteen
to build a monument and finished it at
fifty. He worked night and day, often all
night long, and Sabbath. He seemed to
be in a great hurry 10 get it done. lie
spent all the money he earned upon it
some say S50,000. Then he borrowed all
he could; and when no one would loan
him any more he would take his wife's
dresses and the bed cloth and many
other valuable things in his home and sell
them to get more money to finish that
monument.
They say he cs me home one day and
was about to take the blankets that lay
over his sleeping baby to keep it warm,
and his wife tried to stop him; but he
drew back his fist and knocked her down
and then went away with the blankets
and never brought them back, and the
poor baby sickened and died from the
exposure. At last there was not anything
left in the house. The poor heart broken
wife soon followed the baby to the grave.
Yet John Jones kept working all the
more at the monument. saw him when
he was about fifty years old. The monu-
ment was nearly done; but he had worked
so hard at it that | hardly knew him, he
was so worn; his clothes were all to
tatters, and his hands and face, indeed,
his whole body was covered with scars
which he got in laying up some of the
stones. And the wretched man had b en-
so little, all this while he was building, in
good society, that he had about forgotten
how to use the English language; his
tongue had somehow become very thick,
and when he tried TO speak, out would
come an oath.
That may seem strange; but | have
found out that all who build such monu-
ments as Johns prefer oaths to any other
word!
Now come with me and will show you
Johns monument. 1t stands in beautiful
part of the city where five streets meet.
Most men put such things in the cemetery.
But John had his own way and put it In
one of the finest lots 10 be found.
"Does it look like Bunker Hill monu-
ment?' asks little Amy Arlott by my
side.
Not at all. John didn't want to be
remembered that way. He might have
taken that $4,000 and built an asylum
for poor little children that have no home.
and people would have called the asylum
his monument.
But here we are at the front door. 1t
is grand house! 1t is high and large,
with great halls and towers, and velvet
carpets, elegant mirrors and piano, and
l know not what all; so rich and grand.
This is John Jones' monument! and
the man who sold John nearly all the
whisky he drank, lives here with his
family, and they all dress in the richest
and finest clothes.
| Do you understand it?

| WOMEN or THE PAST AND PRESENT. -
Miss Emily Faithful delivered a lecture
| in fremont Temple, Boston, the other
evening, on "The changed position OF
| women in the nineteenth century," The
underpaying and undereducatingo of women
| was pointed out with its attendant evils
Abiding to the position of women in
England she observed that there was no
class of male workers in that country wh,
were obliged to give all their time and
work for the bare means OF subsistence
Young women, she contended, should have
a trade on which they could depend In all
the changes of fortune which might come
upon them.
The fact that women of certain classes
re disposed to despise work is to great
extent due to a miscbievous prejudice. A
contempt for labor is at the root of almost
all the trouble in the condition of women.
They should be trained to feel that not
only is work honorable in men but that
idleness is discreditable to women. All
life is either progress or retrogression,
and the wonder is that so much good
survives in those women who live colorless
lives. If a girl is not taught to take an
interest in what is good and wholesome,
she will surely take an interest in what is
frivolous and mischievous.
We have SO long heard that man is for
the world and woman for the home, man
to govern and woman merely to obey, that
we have come to believe it, God has a
distinct plan and purpose for every man
and woman, and it is only by following
this plan that we can find the clue to our
life work. A woman is generally at the
beck and call of somebody, often of every
body, and yet they have accomplished
much in art and literature. Women must
not be trained as drudges beneath men,
nor as angels above them. A girls
dependence upon marriage as the only
means of obtaining a settlement in life is
most injurious.
In the interests of men as we'll as of
women there should be an education of
women above the ordinary standard. The
lecturer pointed out that in the London
university and some other educational
institutions in England women competed
satisfactorily in winning educational hon.
ors, and it is found that their health is not
impaired by study. A gradual change |, |
aking place in England, and women of
wealth and standing are beginning to look
with more favor on these women who
make their own living. There is a special
welcome for women who have attained
position in artistic work or in the drama
In closing, Miss Faithful made earnest
plea for the advancement of women, rot
only IN the accomplishments of the home
circle but in remuneratlve employment
and public life.

SLEEPLEsSNESS.- S.-The causes that pro.
duce this serious trouble are various. Not
infrequently the tendency to it is inherited
with II delicate nervous organization, and
overwork will increase it. 1t is difficult
for the sufferer to know just how much
work, mental and physical, may be
accomplished, without producing the
unple SAINT result. For one so constituted
Il most watchful care becomes important,
and the most interesting employment
must be turned away from at the first

by an invalid, reading an article that
stimulates the mind to intense thinking,
may, any of of them, cause you to spend
weary, wakeful hours and lead to severe
exhaustion on the morrow. BY watchful

it has been discovered that many persons
lose hours of sleep because they are in
need of nourishment. That the fast is too

six o clock until six or eight o'clock the
next morn ng. Physicians who used to
prescribe bromide OF soda or potassium
for sleeplessnesS now urge their patients
to take beef tea instead. The writer after
trying various prescriptions with little
benefit, WAS at last so fortunate as to
receive such advice. At first beef tea was
used with some light bread or biscuit
broken in it, slipped from u spoon as warm
as it could be taken. Afterwards, milk
just scalded, not boiled, was substituted,
and to make it more easy of digestion, a
| tablespoonful of lime water was added to
half tumbler of milk. 10 facilitate

nor milk can be easily procured, hot water
with an Infusion of hops or mint may be
substituted, or even hot water alone will
quiet restlessness and induce sleep. A
darkened room that the moonbeams can
not enter, little fresh air from an open
fireplace or window, are valuable in max
ing the sleep continuous. When once the
habit of wakefulness is broken up, the
beef tea or milk may be taken cold, but
not iced. Ifyou are always poor sleeper
it will be well to continue this late supper
as permanent thing in your daily life
Provide for it in the case of aged and
delicate persons who may be unLer your
