Sanitary Conyention.-The MARYLAND

Sanitary COnventiOn.-The Maryland
Sanitary Convention met in Baltimore on
Tuesday last. Mayor Latrobe welcomed
the convention Ia the city in neat address.
Among the many important papers read
was one by Mr. II. C. llallowell, of this
county, in which he said Rural districts
are far from being the abodes of health that
enthusiasts suppose. Bards have sung the
praises of pure water, fresh air and living
near nature, yet prosy truth tliscIoses the
fact that the rate of mortality of cities is not
greater than that of the country Initiated
air. wretched diet, impure water, never.
ceasing toll, exposure and hardships claim
victims more frequently in the country than
statistics show. Country villages are really
in need of sanitary information and regu-
lations. Montgomery county, which is one
of the most populous and healthy counties
in the State, had single pond ul stagnant
water which had been damned az, by the
County Commissioners and Ia which were
attributed last wear several deaths aud forty
cases of ma,arlal lever These cases, to-
gether with ten more this year, were all
within three-iourths of Il mile Of the pond.
Ignorance of physical laws was the cause of
the sickness. In another part of the county
neglected fish-pond was the source OF
malaria fever to a neighboring hamlet, vic
tim after victim dying, one household losing
four OF its members.
even where sickness and death have not
resulted, the neglect Of the laws Of health
in their homes aud about their premises
keep the people half sick. In one i,':astilnI
village family had its summer pleasure
ruined by the fumes from neighboring
stable AT a school building erected by men
of more than ordinary intelligence the closet
was placed within twelve yards of the doors
and windows Of dwelling on an adjacent
lot. Noisome pig-pens and other nuisances
abound in the country. Wells and springs
are vitiated by surface drainage, and filthy
barnyards help TO lower the public health !"
Mr.. Hallowell advocated the passage Of
a sanitary law for the counties, with boards
of health having full powers. lie said that
he had assisted DIR. Chancellor 10 organize
a board in this county, but that il lacked
vitality and has since had its obituary
written.

A New Game Law Wanted.

Editor Sentinel AN persons, whether
prcservers or Cestroyers OF game, must al
nit that at the present rate game will soon
become extinct, and hunting an idle and I'M
remunerativc pursuit II the newly elected
Legislators for this State do not desire that
the whistle of the Quail and the whrr of
the Grouse be no longer heard in our wood.
lands and bracken, action must be made in
the premises.
The best way now possible seems to be
the shortening of the open season or the
total suspension of Quail shooting for a
period Of II couple of years. Birds killed
on the 18th of October average in weight
only three 10 five ounces, while the weight
Of full-grown Quail should be at least six
ounces. Then, too, the farmer, ON whose
lands the birds are raised, and 10 whom they
rightly belong, is prevented by the pressure
of teamwork upon him from enjoying the
cream of the shooting,
Preserving on the part of individuals
only tends to make them unpopular, where
us u stringent law would bind all alike
The Virginia code of game laws is not so
lar-seeing in many Of its provisions as our
own, yet is more effective than ours because
il affords protection to the birds in their half
grown state II the General Assembly of
MdTyldnu WOHlu dHlenu Ile present law 30
as to give an open season from November
10Th to December 18th, for II period of three
years, and after tina. extend the season To
January or February, it would afford greater
opportunity: LIST, to the Quail 10 obtain their
full growth; I'd, by shortening the season
fewer birds would be killed, and, lastly,
farmers who are now practically prevented
enjoyment Of the privileges meant to be Sc
cured 10 them, would have time and oppor.
tunity To hunt, and with pleasure and profit
Better than this would be the prohibition of
Quail and Grouse shooting for term of say
two or three years.
If the Legislature refuse 10 act in the
premises, then let Che landowners form a
protective association and forbid the pres
ence of all non-members upon their lands.
We believe that the sentiment Of the public
is in favor of some such action, and pledge
ourself TO make every effort to procure il.
Otherwise there will be no encouragement
for men 10 follow pastime which 10 health
alone is Of nestimable worth. Let n bill
be prepared and presented TO some member
of our delegation for enactment

Large CattIe.-A well-known grazier
near Warrenton, Va, owns the three largest
cattle, 30 stock men say, ever raised in Viz
ginia by one man. He put them on the
scales Saturday, and these are their weights :;
One steer, three years old, 2 ,260 pounds; one
steer, four years old, 2,490 pounds; one steer,
five years old, 1855 pounds; total, 1885
pounds-an average Of over $500 pounds
each. The cattle are all roam Durhams, and
the owner says they have never been under
q shelter and never had a pound Of meal
only plenty Of good grass in the summer,
and hay, fodder and corn in winter, sup
porting his theory that shelter and ground
feed is not essential to making heavy cattle.
The owner has been offered cents gross,
or 1881 90 for the three beeyes, but will not
take IL, and says he intends 10 keep them
for New York Christmas meat

TO Cure Stammering.-Dr. Dio Lewis

Of stammering, which is certainly simple

cnred three fDurths Of all the cases he has
treated. The stammerer is made TO mark
the time in his speech, just as it is ordina-
rily done in singing. At first he is to beat
on every syllable. lie should begin by read
ing one Of the Psalms, striking the finger
on the knee at every word "Time can be
marked" says the Doctor, "by striking the
finger on the knee, by hitting the thumb
against the lorefinger, or by moving the

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From or Regular Correspondent.

WAsHNGToN.D. c.. July 80, 1888.
The civil service reform of which so
much is expected in the way of improve
ment in governmental methods, is now
in full and complete operation, to the
dismay of some hundreds of expectant
place-hunters who thought they could
jump strait from the examination room
into frst-class clerkship. The disap-
pointment is all the greater for these
applicants because they renounced all
allegiance to the several States from
which they really hail and claimed resi-
dence In the District of Columbia which
already has some five hundred more
places in the departments than her quota.
1t will be only necessary for those appli
cants who gave their preference for resi-
dence in the District to rest their souls In
perfect patience for matter of couple
OF centuries, when their turn will come
for a hearing. 1t is matter of grave
