Tag FInsT MEDICsL LECTURE.
seattle. June 10 1888.

The Y. n. G. A. of this city has made
arrangements 20 give its members and
friends the benefi, of a medical lecture
on the FIRST Wednesday evening of eaca
month. Last Wednesday evening the
srs, Of this series was delivered by J. c.
s1ndberg, MD. His SUBJECT WAS 81 The
Value of Health and Prevention of Dis
sase.r The doctor said that "an ounce
Of prevention is worth pound of cure y
With this old adsge as an introduction
he proceeded to give advice that is valu-
able TO any and ali persons. The subject
was divided into three parts, the frst of
which Was individual Hygiene. To
show that ait is not yell for man TO be
alone," the figures of life insurance
companies we're produced, showing that,
between the ages of 25 and 30 years, the
rate of mortality per thousand is AS fol-
lows: six married men, ten bachelors
and twenty two widowers, or nearly four
timea as many widowers AS married
men. Then was discussed the scientific
principles of making homes and health
ful surroundings. The necessities con-
nected with proper food were pointed
out in a clear and skiilful manner.
Taste, unless perverted, is q safe guide
In the selection of food. Music, tobac-
90, occupation and stimulants in their
turn were shown to have direct and
important influence upon the health OF
individuals. The cause of sleeplessness
and its remedy were shown TO be 80
simple that II seems absurd that one
should ever suffer from that cause.
A little advice was given about proper
clothing, after which II was explained
that healih-travel should embody
change of scenery, the excitement of
wonder and the exercise Of skill in rid
ing. rowing. sailing or other ways.
The hyRienic care of the eye next oc-
cupied the attention OF the doctor, and
here he showed the anatomy ofHthe eye
by large cast. which was disseeted,
showing the lenses, muscles and fluids.
Public Sanitation, with its influence
IN the rate Of mortality in various local.
tiles, was discussed at some length
London had death rate of 81 per 1000
before she had obtained the now almost
perfect system of sewage, where now
the rate ia but 20 per 1000.
Epidemics are public benefaotors, in
asmuch as they compel the citizens TO
make sanitary mprovsmentst that would
otherwise DO neglected. Sanitary edu-
cation and hygiene in schools ought to
receive more attention at the hands of
the people of this age. 1t Ia not exactly
a wise state of affairs when the student
10 filled with the laws governing the
movements of the planets and other
heavenly bodies before he Ia familiar
with the laws that govern the move
ments of his own organism. It would
be most excellent pltn to have med
ical lecture delivered occasionally IN our
public schools.
G. ID. Davis, Secretary General of the
Y. M. U. a., extended the thanks OF the
Association to the doctor for both tue
amusems mt and instruction derived from
the lecture.

The Painted Desert.

North from the junction of the Little
Colorado with the Great River, is that re-
markable region known as the painted
Desert" 1t is wild and desolate pla-
teau, entirely destitute of water or vege-
tation, its entire surface covered by
lofty columns, isolated peaks az buttes,
composed of sandstone, and worn into
grotesque and fantastic shapes by the
storms and floods of ages. This weird
region is veritable "Fata Morgana," and
presents the most marvellous mirages.
On its air OF dazzling clearness are de-
picted "paIaces, hanging gardens, colon
nades, temples, fountains, lakes, fortifi-
cations with flags flying from their ram
parts, landscapes, woods, groves, or
chards, meadows, and companies of men
and women, herds of cattle, deer, au;e-
lopes, etc., and all painted with such an
admirable mixture of light and shade
that it is impossible to form any concep-
ton of the picture without seeing it."
The Indians call it the Country of De-
parted Spirits" and carefully avoid it.

Yuma has had rainy week. Either
the elements have been considerably out
of gear, or "Old Jupiter Pluvius" is
affected just about this time with streak
OF liberality. The rain began Sunday
about noon, and continued at intervals
till Tuesday night, about II o'clock, P. NJ,
when the "old man" opened his fountains
and a good quantity of water fell. Wed
nesday, the weather continued cold and
cloudy, and in the afternoon some hail
fell and the clouds dispersed ard "Old
Sol" shone again in his usual brilliancy,
but only for little while, just before
disappearing in the western horizon.
Thursday was ushercd in cold and cloudy
almost counterpart of the day pre-
vious. During the night the flo od-gates
were opened in earnest aud more water
fell perhaps than at any other time since
the rain began. The rain no doubt, has
been general throughout the Territory
and will result in much good to our herd
ers and farmers. Though it has been
quite disagreeable to some of us, in
Yuma, who have leaky roofs, and who
were not quite ready prepared for this
sudden visit from "Old Pluvius," yet we
are willing to overlook and bear our
Inconvenience, for the general good that
may result TO all.

The Yucca.


The Yucca plant is a species of the
agave, of which the aloe and maguey are
also members. 1t grows proliflcally in
the MojaYe ana Colorado deserts and
through the western States Of Mexico.
In some parts of Mexico the fibre of the
Yucca is made into paper, clothing and
cordage, and the leaves, being tough and
impenetrable to water, are used for roof
ing. The utility of the plant has been
known to the Mexicans and Indians for
centuries past. 1t forms the warp of the
web known Mexican "gerga," species
of cloth, which at one time was the only
article Of clothing worn by them. II also
forms tue warp of the "sarape" an over
all, used by them in rainy weather and
which is impervious to water. 1t was
only in late years that the virtues" of
the Yucca plant have become known to
the people of the United States and
Europe and they have not been slow in
making use of them. We don't know at
present of any paper factory in the
United States where the fiber of the
Yucca is used. There may be some. We
know it is used in England, and our
English neighbors are about to utilize it

the manufacture of paper. A few days
ago the San Francisco "Post" contained
an statement to the effect that the LION.
don Telegram" in order to secure cheap
paper stock, had bought up large tracts
OF railroad land in the Mojave desert, and
that it would use the Yucca plant pulp as
the basis of its paper. The plant will be
ground to pulp at some point on the
Colorado river, then shipped by rail to
New Orleans, thence ny sea to Liverpool.
That point OF course will be Yuma, which
is on the line of Southern Pacific Railroad
to New Orleans. Here we have plenty Of
water and wood, and labor is cheap, and.
there is nothing in the way at present for

A Secret Society.

George W. Brown, editor of the "Citi-
zen," published at Tucson, writes the
following note to the editor of this
paper, in answer to an item which an
peared III the SENTINEL two weeks apo
in reference to organizing secret society
OF some kind in Yuma. Mr.. Brown is a
Deputy Grand Master of the Ancient Or
der of United Workmen, and he knows
whereof he speaks. The letter is. SELF
explanatory:
see by The SENTINEL that Yuma wants
lodge of some kind. Wnv not have one

IL combines many of The best features of
Masonry and other fraternal orders with
beneficiary OF $1,000. Twenty applicants

The charter fee is 500. If it is feasible
10 orgadize loege in Yuma, would
ike 10 institute it before I 20 10 Prescott

Since the above was received, the FEAST
billy of organizing lodge of the A. O.

somewhat and a sentiment has been
found in favor Of it. Al attachee of this
Office will soon be in correspondence
with Mr.. Brown in reference to the mat
ter. The required number of persons to
obtain charter can be had with but little
effort, and move in that direction will be
made the first of next week, and if on in
terest is taken in the organization of a
lodge of that order here, by our citizens,
there Is no reason why lodge could not
be in full operation in Yuma sometime
within this month.

Why Sick People Drink Tea.

Why is it that those who are sick or
convalescing from sickness ask for and
relish cup of tea? Why is it, again,
that physicians will so often recommend
tea and forbid coffee? Plainly. the an
swer is because tea is the most whole
some beverage, and in this respect ex-
GELS coffee. But while the use of tea is
increasing, there is one class of the
community who do not realize the adj
vantages that tea offers them; and that
class is the very poor in purse, who re-
gard tea as a luxury that they cannot
afford. when. if they did but know it,
they could not afford to do without tea.
1t is the general use of tea that will save
many a doctors bill. 1t is tea that as
sists digestion, and it is tea that makes
ones beefsteak go farther. In this re-
spect it is a positive economy, and it is
not always the lowest priced article that
is the cheapest. Quality in tea means
strength and flavor, and it is much bet
ter and cheaper to buy good tea at a
fair price than to get the very low in
price; and it is good tea that the poor
man wants. Scientific american.
