THE NECESSITY OF SANITARY
REFORM.
Some Matters that Ought to Occasion
Thought and ction.

Some Matters that Ought to Occasion
Thought and ction.
From an article on ''The Principles and
Practice of House Drainage" by George
E. Waring, Jr., in the November Century,
we quote the following: "Houses that are
perfect, even in their general arrange
ment and construction of their sanitary
works. are extremely rare. Those which,
having begun perfect, continue so under
daily occupation, are still more rare. SO
true is this that it is sometimes asked if it
is, after all, worth while to encounter the
additional expense and the constant at
tention that perfection demands; whether,
indeed. the world has not got on so well
in spite of grave sanitary defects that 1t
| is futile to hope for an improvement cor
| reanondinp with the cost in money and
| time. The most simple and the efficient
! answer to this is that the world has not
| got on we'll at all, and is not getting on
| we'll: that among large classes of the
/ population one-half of all the children
| born die before they attain the age OF 8
vears: that those who come to maturity
| rarely escape the suffering, loss OF time.
| and incidental expense of unnece ssary
sickness; that the average age
I
one-half of what it would be were we Nv
ing under perfect sanitary conditions
that one of the chief items of cost in car
| rying on the world, to say nothing OF the
cost of burying those who die, is that O.
supporting and attending the sick anC
| HELPLESS; that another great item Is tnC
cost of raising children to or toward th'
useful age, and then having them die be
fore they begin to make return on thu
investment; that the great object OF
well regulated life is to secure happiness
for one's self and ones dependents, al
aim which is crushed to the earth witt
every death of wife, or child, or friend
There is a sentimental view, no less i'm
portant, which need not be recited, bu
which is sufficiently suggested to Tn
minds of all who have had to do with tn
sanitary regulation of houses by the ire
ouency with which their services ar
called into requisition only when the OF
fees of the undertaken have been pei
formed. No cost and no care would be to
great to prevent the constantly recurrln
domestic calamities which have had thel
origin, and which have found their deve
opment in material conditions that littl
original outlay and constant and water
ful care would have prevented.

Some of the Absurdities ard Hardships
OF the Marriage Tie.


OF the Marriage Tie.
Generally speaking, says the London
Society. marriages pass off very smoothly,
and frequently with very pretty effects
The brides are credited with careful
study and perusaI of the service for many
DAVIS beforehand. Sometimes there has
been a rehearsal. have known brides,
when the grooms have failed to make the
proper responses, prompt them immedi-
ately and with the greatest facility. The
most common mistake OF the bride is TO
take off only one of her gloves, whereas
both hands are brought into requisltlon IN
thelserVice. AS for the men, they commit all
kinds of blunders and bunglings. L have
known a man. at that very nervous ana
irving moment, follow a clergyman With

take a place opposite him. L nave known
a man, when a minister stretched out ms
hand to unite those OF the couple, take u
vigorously in his own, and give 1t a nearly

uncomfortable reluctance to use the

LO1NoA 1ANtcos ttEr -.
Yesterday the remains of Mr.. Thomas
Perry, of Dalston, formerly of the Eighth
regiment of Royal Irish Hussars, were In
tered in Abney Park cemetery, several
of his former military comrades accom-
panying the procession. Born in 1S22, his
military career was most remarkable: he
was with his regiment at the siege Oh Se-
bastopoI. having previously taken part in
the battle of the Alma, and was one Of
the famous GOO who rode in the memoir
able charge of Balaklava. In this terri
bic encounter he was shot through both
thighs and in the right shoulder, recelv-
ing also two severe sword cuts on the
head, two lance wounds in the body, and
one in the left hand. He was taken prls-
oner of war, and remained for several
months in the Russian hospital at Simfer-
opOl, being afterward sent to Odessa, ex-
changed thence to one OF her Majesty's

a HOME BURNED UP.

The home Of Mr.. Il. sullivan. in Park
township. between the rivers, about eight
miles north Of this city. was totally DESTROYED
by fire Yesterday about noon. Our inform
ant, ". ". Turner, who had passed the
house but few moments before the fire
was discovered. said the origin If the fire
was unknown. Before anything could be
done the house and all is contents were
wrapped in flames and speedily reduced 10
ashes. Nothing whatever WAS saved except
a cloak. One son was forced 70 jump from a
second story window to save his life. The
house was frame and cost something more
than one Thousand dollars and was, our in
tormant thinks. insured for small amount.
The contents of the house was worth a.
much more with no Insurance. The nisf,r-
tune i great one for Mr.. Sullivan and his
many friends will feel sad over the sudden
calamity

MORE AND MORE FRUIT


There seems AN evident desire on the part
Of our fruit growing friends either to en-
courage Us in our fruit talk, week after week,
or to provoke us to greater and more aston
ishing feats of describing the wonderful
fruit yields of Their farms and orchards. Not
day passes that our table is not loaded
down with specimens of apples, peaches,
grapes, plums, pears, etc. But our vocab-
ulary in that direction is well nigh exhausted
and our measuring string worn to shreds.
Our old friend, A. J. Cook, left Us bas-
ket of grapes Yesterday morning, consisting
Of Delawares, Concords and Union Villages.
Some of the berries of the latter measured
three and sixteenth inches in circumfer.
eace. They were of strong musk ia
vor. The Others were simply splendid. Mr..
Cook said he had nothing 10 say about the
Union Village grape urther than ii is the larg-
est grape that grows in the valley.
Mr.. George +. Mcclure, of this ciiy,whose
home is on the corner of Central and Sher-
man avenues, sent US down hy his colored
man a paper bag of buddcd free stone
peaches the names of which were not given,
but some of which measured ten inches
Mr.. A. d. Alexander, the proprietor of the
Shuman place on the Little river, brought
us Yesterday half bushcl of Concords so
dead ripe, large and tender skinned that
they melted in ones mouth. lie also left
half bushel of Concord grapes 10 90 to To-
peka, which show the result Of different
treatments AS to pruning etc Mr.. AleNan-
der also brought in lot Of corn which
measures twelve plus inches in length.
This corn was pulled at random and as AN
average. He plowed very deep and he says
eighty bushels to the acre will be about the
yield of his great field.
