High Buildings.

The erection of several apartment
houses IN this city of unprecedented
height has provoked the inquirywhether
1T would be judicious to set any limit to
the dimensions of such structures. The
subject has been debated by some of
the officers connected with the Board
of Health. They allege that where
buildings are carried so high that the
sun never penetrates to the street be-
low, powerful element in the laws of
hygiene is withdrawn. In this country
we have never adopted the law of
easements as it is understood in En-
gland. There it is held that the use and
enjoyment of house with windows
overlooking neighbours lot entities the
owner, after certain period, to right
to the light and air over the adjacent
ground, and the law will not allow
buildings to be erected to height which
viii intersect an angle of 45 degrees
from the lowest of such windows. In
the city of London this principle has
been relaxed recently by some Judges.
Still the old common-law maxim holds
good: $50 to use your own as not to
injure another's, and it may be doubted
whether the extent to which apartment
houses have been carried is not an in
fringement of the neighbours rights and
substantial injury to property. Not
only is there damage to owners, but
society suffers by the withdrawal of
conditions which permit proper ventila-
ton, free currents of air and the action
of sunlight, which is in itself most
powerful sanitary agent. At present
che building regulations require that a
certain area of each block only shall be
covered by the building, and it may be
reasonably argued that where buildings
are carried to double the height of an
ordinary house this space reserved
should be proportionately increased. -

How to Reduce Ones Weight.

A woman weighing 200 pounds called
on physician for advice. He gave her
the following instructions:
l. For breakfast eat a piece of beef
or mutton as large as your hand, with
slice of white bread twice as large
For dinner the same amount of meat,
or if preferred. fish or poultry, with
the same amount of farinacious or vege-
table food in the form of bread or pota-
toe. For supper, nothing.
2. Drink only when greatly annoyed
with thirst; then q mouthful of lemon
ade without sugar
). Take three times week some
form of bath in which there shall be
immense perspiration. The Turkish
bath is best. You must work, either In
walking or some other way, several
hours day.

ing and retire late at night Much sleep

which congresses the centre of the

Poisoned Arrows.

At meeting of scientists in Paris an
interesting communication was received
from M. Hoffman regarding the methods
employed by the North American
Indians to poison their arrow points.
The Comanches simply pierce the
green she'll of the Spanish bayonet" or
yucca angustifolia with the points. The
Apaches (Cayoters, sic) bruise up the
heads of rattlesnakes with fragments
of deer's liver, allow the mass to be.
come putrid. then dip the arrow points,
and allow them to dry slowly. The
Chinouns (Moquis of Arizona) irritate a
rattlesnake until he bites himself, and
then dip the point and portion of the
wood of the arrow into the blood of the
animal. A wound with one of these
arrows generally proves fatal in three
or four days, and its action is much
more rapid if the stomach of the
wounded person is empty at the time
the injury is received.
Another poison is obtained by irritat-
ing bees, shaking the hive, and then
killing them when in this state with
small branches punched together. The
insects are crushed up in mass with
mortar and pestle, and the arrow points
are dipped in the magma. 1t is prob
able the active substance in this case
consists in the forraic acid contained in
the bodies of the bees. This prepare
ton does not cause death, but induces
long-continued sickness.
Another very active but not fatal
poison is prepared from red ants. 1t
produces pain in the pharynx, consid-
cradle swelling of the part injured, and
sometimes delirum. The patient re-
mains feeble for month.

A Plea for a Pension.

The Acknowledgement received q
queer letter from an old soldier yester-
day, which stated that before the writer
joined the army he had been member
of the church and of the Sunday-school,
and a person of good moral charac-
ter But in the army he had become
demoralized. He says he lies, ..swares, y
and even steals, and is a victim of
other bad ''habbits." He advances
the proposition, which seems reason
able enough, that when the Govern
ment hires man to fight for it, it is
bound to return him to civil life in as
good ''condision, morally and fizically,'
as it took him. But as his character is
utterly and irretrieyably ruined, he
thinks it no more than right that the
United States should give him a PEN
sion. If there is no law covering his
case, he suggests that the Adjutant-
General use his influence to have one
passed, as he would "defien any man to
associate with guard bummers and mule
drivers and return to his home unblem-
ished. He recognizes one grave diff
Guilty, and that is, if placed upon the
witness-stand to testify to his own bad
moral character, he is such a liar
that his testimony could be easily and
successfully impeached. The Adiutant-
General has not yet signifed whether

Political Indications.

Inc great political parties OF this
country are just now at work on the
skirmish line. The pickets are feeling
the strength OF the opposite side, while
the reserve forces are anxiously waiting
for the assault to take place. Each party
IS anxious to place its best man in COM
mand and much fine engineering is
being done. The Republican party,
with its brilliant record of twenty-four
years, has but little to fear, while the
Democrats, with their thousand and one
mistakes staring them in the face, are
fearful and lack courage to go into the
fight, which promises to be the hardest
ever known IN American politics. The
Democrats are doing their best to curry
favor with the people by throwing out
a variety of sop, such as reduction of
tariff" forfeiture of public lands"
restoration of Fitz John Porter" sin
crease of pensions" etc, etc. In no
one of these measures are the Demo-
Gratis earnestly engaged. They do not
seem TO take hold of the schemes they
promulgate as though they meant bust
ness. This is fully explained in their
wishy-washy dealing with!the tariff mat
ter, and what is apparent in one case is
proof in another.
On the contrary, the Republican party
has its record to prove that in all meas
ures for the public good, they are "of
the people, with the people, and for the
people" When the American voters
placed the government in the hands of
the Republican party, in what condition
did that party find things? A divided
people, a depleted treasury, an army
scattered beyond recovery. The arms
OF the government where they could not
be had, and very bad state of things
existed, generally. Tho Republican
party, nothing daunted, began to put
the American house to rights; but it
cost many thousands of valuable lives
and millions of dollars to accomplish
their work. The people responded
nObly, with blood and treasure, and the
supremacy of union of states was
maintained. To-day the American
people have peace, prosperity, protec-
ton vouchsafed them all brought about
by the straightforward principles advo-
Gated and carried out by the Republi-
can party.
Is not that record the people may
well be proud Of? Who can say that
the Republican. party has not built up
government the best the world ever
saw; the most prosperous of any on the
face of the globe? Are the people
ready to turn this party out and put one
in that, during the same period of time,
has done nothing but devise measures
and means to hinder the work of the
government? That is not reasonable to
suppose. The people of the United
States are distrustful of the promises SO
freely made by these Democratic wire
pullers. and will hesitate long before
they place that party in a position where
it can have full sway.
Let the people closely watch the
doings of the two parties in the present
Congress, and it will not take them long
to discover which, the Democrats or the
Republicans, are doing their work in a
strict spirit of reform, or in a way that
will be of most benefit to the govern
ment and the people

Mexican Soldier Pensions.

The protracted resistance of the Re-
publican members of Congress, against
the pensioning of soldiers in the Mexi-
can war, n new pension scheme brought
out by Democratic members, will be
sustained by all good and true people
in this country. No doubt there are
many worthy cases of soldiers in that
war where pension would be of meal
culable benefit to the pensioner. But
this wholesale distribution of the public
moneys is not right, and the Repubh-
cans in Congress did the proper thing
when they fought so ,nobly against it.
The bin grants to every soldier of that
war pension. There are probably a
majority of the soldiers of that war,
now living, who were not in action, and
many of them enlisted on the eve of
The close of the war, not having to 90
forth from their training camps. Some
of the survivors of that war give the
duration of their enlistment as low as
sixteen days. A pension to those sol
diers is simply bonus.
But the pension for soldiers of the
Mexican war is not the worst feature of
this system of indiscriminate pension
ing. Il will not be long before the Con-
federate soldier will have his friends
knocking at the door of the pension
bureau. At first those who are wholly
disabled Will apply for small donation
to aid them in their old age; then those
less disabled will be applicants, with an
increase for their more unfortunate
brethren; then others, until the whole
list of Confederates, VINO are more or
less disabled, will be on the list. This
the people. of the North especially, will
oppose, and it is for the Republican
representatives to work diligently
against the scheme.
1t may not be possible for the South
ern members to ever gain control of the
National Congress, to an extent TO carry
out a scheme of that kind. 1t is to be
hoped that they never will. Yet. there
is no doubt hope in many a southern
breast that the day win come, when, by
Northern aid in Congress, just such a
state of things can be brought about.
True, the constitution prohibits, forever
any action of this kind, but it is yet
within the recollection of many people
that Southern members of Congress, at
one time, paid little attention or care to
that instrument. The course of the
Republican members in Congress, on
