HEALTH HINTS.
HEALTH WITHOUT pIIysIC.

There are many people who seem to think
that they can violate all the laws of nature
with impunity so long as they have the
resources of the drug store to fall back upon.
Nay more, we have every reason to affirm
that there are thousands and thousands of
American women who physic themselves
every day of their lives rather than incur
the trouble of taking pedestrian exercise
The physic becomes first temporary
resource, then a familiar companion, then an
mperous necessity.
If there is any one thing in the world
more clearly established than another, it is
that physic is a gigantic mistake. 1t is, at
the very best, the smaller of two evils. That
is to say that i'll certain contingencies, where
inflammation exists or there is specific
disease requiring specific medicine, then
physic may be required. But as wise
physician once said, 1.-THE whole art of
medicine consist in amusing the patient
while Nature is performing the cure. -
Abundant evidence can be produced show
ing that patients have been nursed through
acute diseases without physic of any kind.
In scaIlatina, typhoid aud smallpox the less
medicine person takes, the greater his
chance of recovery. As for gastric troubles,
dyspepsia especially, they are mostly aggra-
waited by physic, and not few bad cases
can be distinctly traced to the common and
injurious practice Of taking tonic bitters,
liver cures and the like denominations,
instead of following Natures precept-sct
forth Enthusiastically in all the lower animals
that certain amount of active physical
exercise daily is Indispensable to the preser-
walton of health,
Chain up cat or a dog in darkened
room, day after day for weeks together and
what would you expect? Tie one would
die, the other would go mad. Very few
wild animals live long in confinement. They
all require light, fresh air and exercise. And
man is no exception to the rule. Men and
women require constant exercise in the open
air to be healthy. And by this we mean full
vigorous exercise of the limbs and the mus
cles of the chest. Carriage driving accom-
plishes neither; it simply gives fresh ali
without the exercise. So with household
duties, which 80 many women insist on a,
giving them more exercise than is good TO

As it is with the lines of buildings so is it
with their color. Many a draughtsman
who can seize and convex the picturesque
details of rustic cottage with pen or pencil,
spoils his work the instant he attempts to
color it. Architects are peculiarly prone to
this failing. They paint the sky full blue,
the bricks red, and the trees and grass
green. Paths and roads are daubed in with
pure yellow ochre, and the trunks of the
trees with Vandyke Brown. And, with sor-
row, be it said, their customers approve of
the work, and would be dissatisfied with
any other rendering.
It was pointed out in our last article on
flower-paiuting from Nature that the pure
primary colors, red, blue and yellow, are
never displayed in masses, Neither are the
secondary hues, orange, green and violet
What we do sec in Nature is a lavish dis
play of indefinite tertiary tones, citrne
buff, olive, or dun, contrasted with abso-
lutely colorless gray. Just in proportion as
our sketches preserve these conditions will
they become harmonious and agreeable
instead of crude and staring.
The most useful tints for buildings Gin
water cclors) are Yellow Ochre, Burnt
Sienna, Raw TIMBER and Payne's Gray.
Vermlion, Prussian Blue, Emerald Green
and Lake are to be severely avoided Put
the colors on in thin washes, with dry
brush, dragged sideways over the paper
preserving the angles earthly when they
occur. Even bright red chimney will lool
better with pale wash of light red, shaded
with umber. than if put in with daub o
v.rmilon, without a suggestion of shadin.
to giving rotundity or form.
1t is very important to give play of ligh
and shade about building, instead of
formal mass of color over the whole face
One way of doing this is to represent tn
cast shadows of trees. (not shown in tn
pictured, nothing the walls and doorways
Or some of the windows and doors may b
represented as open and the shadows Of tn
doors and shutters cast on the walls. 1t
in this way that verandahs produce IA goo
effect. by reason of the shadows they cast.

One of the chief clements of the pictur-
csque in the aspect of Nature is the substi-
tuition of broken, wavy and irregular lines
for straight lines and angles. Many persons
who can draw fairly well, are quite unable
to see house otherwise than in Figure J..
The more precise and formal it is the better
they like it, They will prefer, if there are
to be any trees, that there shall be two of
them, one on each side, perfectly perpendic-
ular and of exactly the same height. They
will make their drawing from position
exactly opposite the middle of the front
door, or if there be a roadway will sit in the
middle of it so that the sides may approach
each other with the mathematical perspec-
tive Of railroad track.

How TO make "A earn Pond.

Any person having spare half-acre of
ground in sheltered situation may provide
himself with fresh fish for the table all the
year round by simply following the subjoin-
ed directions. No technical or engineering
skill is required, and an acre of ground de-
voted to carp-culture will yield better
return then the same space utilized for any
crop or stock whatever.
If possible select plot of ground lying in
a hollow, so that the water may be kept at
a level in dry weather. Or, what is prefer
able, divert the course of small run and
build small penstock or dam, furnished
with sluice gate at the upper and lower
end, each to be furnished with wire
screen. Dig out the intervening space so
as to form two basins of pear shaped form,
one being twice the size of the other. Make
the small pond of an average depth of two
feet, the larger five feet deep at the lower
and foot at the upper end. Puddle the
bottom of each pond with stiff clay, to a
depth of about four or five inches.

avoid. And now we will ask which of the
two sketches produces the more natural and
pleasing effect on the mind
In Figure 2 we have "a guide to the most
important point in the delineation of bnlld-
ings, viz, the selection of the point of view.
If we sit too near the object the perspective
lines of the roof and upper windows will
come down too sharply; if our station is too
remote we lose detail. But if our aim be to
take in the upper part of the house we shall
err least in selecting either a remote statlou
or a rocky ledge on level with the upper
windows. Figure 3 shows the evil of choos
ing point of view too near the object; the
defects speak for themselves.

The Importance of educating the people
as to the care and preservation of health and
the rearing of children can hardly be over
estimated. The work of such education de-
wolves largely upon the physician. The ne.

that account more pardonable. 1t may be
of use to call the attention of the profession
to few important points.

ing for His Parents.
Special to THE STATE JOURNAL.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20. - The
steamship HISTORIAN that arrived here
on Sunday afternoon, from Glasgow,
had one of the toughest voyages ever
experienced by vessel When but
a day out it encountered stormy
weather that lasted twelve days with
out an interval of calm. No acct
dents, however, occurred, and all the
passengers were in excellent health
when it entered port. Among those
who landed was a colored Baptist
minister named Martin, who was re
turning to America after an absence
of twenty six years. Ia 1853 his
father and mother, who were slaves
in Georgia, were sold to separate
masters, and he was bought by a
wealthy and religiously inclined per-
son and sent abroad to be educated
for the ministry. He was then IL
years old. His object in coming here
is to try and discover his parents. He
is pretty well fixed in worldly goods
and was attended on the voyage by a
white male servant.

BURGLARS IN THE SUBURBS.
Their Exploits at Churchvlle and vic,nit

Their Exploits at Churchyille and Vicinity.
On Tuesday night burglars entered Mr.
Michael Snavely's warerOoms, adjoining
his store in Churchville, and removed
three hams and a number of shoulders,
but how many Mr.. ). is not able to say
The burglars first tried to enter the room
by breaking the bolt fastening the bar
across the window shutter, but failed to
get it open. They then forced open the
door and entered, From the warehouse
they attempted to enter the store room
through the door that connects the two
rooms. They pried at the door until the
lock was broken, but hooks on the inside
prevented them from gaining entrance.
They left this with their hams and shout
ders and going to the opposite side Of the
street attempted to enter Mr. David Zieg-
ler's store by prying at the door, but
failed to break the locks. They then
forced q window shutter open and secured
enhance through the window. Here they
helped themselves to jewelry, clocks, init
tens, stockings, silk, etc, to the amount
of about 5000 loss to Mr.. Ziegler.
Mr.. j. G. Books, blacksmith at Steelton,
missed from his shop yesterday morning
monkey wrench and a pair of pinchers.
1t is presumed that tie burglars first en-
tered the shop and procured the tools with
which they entered the store rooms.
These tools they evidently took with
them, as they cannot be found.
On Monday night thieves were heard by
Mrs. Abram Meyer in her cellar. She
ran to the window and gave the alarm,
when four men ran from the cellar. In
the morning nothing was missed but a
lar of fruit.

MISS FoRTEsCUE INDICATED.
A Verdict of Ten Thousand Pounds Fer
dered,

LONDON, Eng, Nov. 21.-The famous
breach of promise suit Of Miss Finney,
better known by her stage name as Miss
FOrtescue, against Lord Garmoyle, the
son and heir of Earl Cairns, came up for
trial yesterday before the Court ofQueen' s
Bench.
There have been several futile attempts
made on the part of Earl Cairns to COM
promise the case, and yesterday mis- soli-
Citor offered the lady 10000 if she
would withdraw the suit. This she re-
fused to do saying that she was not seek
ing pecuniary gain, but to vindicate her
character. and would not accept one
penny which was not awarded her by
jury OF her countrymen. When the case
was called yesterday defendant counsel,
Sir Henry James, stated that he was
willing to accept a verdict of 10000.
Lord Garmoyle proposed and was ac-
cepted by Miss Fortescuo in July, 1888,
She was at that time engaged at the Sa-
voy Theater. Earl Cairns was at once
informed of the step and cordially ap-
proved it, and Miss Fortescue was the
recipient of many kindly letters from the
members of Lord GarmOyle's family. His
sons fiauCee visited Earl Cairns, who,
with his wife, received her most affec-
tionately. Lord Garmoyle, on January
81, 1884, wrote letter to Miss FOrtescue
and broke off the engagement. He still
professed the deepest love and admiration
Tor her, but said his friends would not
accept her on account of her profession.
Attorney General James admitted the
circumstances as they had been presented
by Sir Charles Russell, but he justified
the action of Lord Garmoyle The de-
PENDANT, he said, was now willing, as he
had always been, to grant cOmpensa'
ton to the young lady for the broken con-
tract. He would consent without objec-
ton TO verdict of 100000. At the same
time, he added, Lord Garmoyle wished
10 state that not the slightest imputatioD
rested on Miss Fortescue's character. She
had throughout their intercourse con-

high-minded English gentlewoman.

from several gentlemen present, and
all were highly pleased with the re-
ception of the cub.
DR.. E. G. Howard is a candidate
for school director of the Seventh
ward. DR.. Howard would be credit
to the people, and his election would
put new life into the school board Of
the ward, which now seems TO be in

man, and there is little doubt but
that DR.. Howard is the man.

ton, No. !, gave their second annual
reception at Natatorium Hall, on

of the evening was devoted to scenes
of the rebellion, under the supervision
of Mr.. Isaac Holland, assisted by Mr..
G. J. Perry. After grand march at
eleven o'clock, the floor was given up
to the dancers, who highly enjoyed
themselves.
The Rev. Howard Crosby, the
eminent divine of New York, deliv-
cred an eloquent address at the Be-
rean church, on Tuesday evening,
before a large and appreciative audi
ence.
The Ottawa Social Club held their
annual reception at Washington Hall,
on Thursday evening, and despite the
numerous counter attractions, was a
grand success, both financially and
socially.
The scholars of Crucifxion p. E.
Church rendered the pleasing tale of
"Little Red Riding Hood" at Lib
erty Hall, on Wednesday evening,
before a crowded house, which
proved complete success.
Emory Anderson and David Ches-
ter are candidates for Constable of
the Seventh ward. We hope to see
one of them win.
The Independent is now on its last
legs, and it will soon be among the
missing, for which we are sorry, as
it was bright and newsy little sheet,
