Councilman NJ. Zimmerly, few weeks
since, went down to Geuda Springs on the
advice of his physician, but there was so much
demanding his attention at home in the way
Of official duties and private business, that he
returned before experiencing any real bene-
fetal effects. But he has now so arranged
his affairs that he can get off twenty or
thirty days, so tomorrow morning, in COM
pany with Councilman Adams, who, also
has been under the weather for some time,
will take the train for Hot Springs, Arkansas.
As there has been much said about sewering
the city of Wichita, and as it is only two
evident that something in that direction
must be attempted before many years, we
suggest that our two councilmen, who both
have level heads when it comes to matters Of
business, and who, when at the Hot Springs,
will be but short ride from Memphis, step
down and look over the system of that city.
If Wichita can't utilize system based on
natural drainage, then either the force or ex-
haust systems will have to be adopted.
However, We did not start out to discuss
sewerage, but simply to say that the Wichita
city council will appear like a very lone
some body with Zimmerly and Adams
absent.

It is still a matter of dispute as to
whether Mount Sorato or Illampu,
Mount Sahama or Sajama, Mount Ac-
oncagua, Mount Chimborazo, or Mount
Himani, is the highest mountain in
South America, and the loftiest on
this continent; but the weight Of tes-
timony seems to be in favor Of Mount

to be 24,8o0 feet high. sahama stands

Grief ae the Craze.

A writer in the New York Worto
recently had a talk with an old grave
digger, and drew from him some ln'er-
esting observations upon the question
as to who manifest the most grlet
when death enters the domestic circle
and carries off the loved ones OF n
households: "a mother who loses he
first child is ABOUT. as sad a sight as
you would car to see at the grave
and I am posi- he there is no grief to
equal hers; ne the daughter over the
loss of either her parents or the
parents over tpb loss of their daughter;
then the husOand over the death OF
his wife. and lastly the wife over the
death of her husband. AS for relatives
any more d5dtant than these, the grief
ia of short .vhration. OF course, there
are exceptyy ns to this rule, but l am
speaking GENERALLY. I have seer low
ers stanfY by the graves of their
betrothey and weep with more earnest
ness AMI show the grief that filed
their hlarts to a much greater extent
than ally parent. A young lady pledg-
ed in marriage to a gentleman will
show uncomfortable sorrow, and will
oftenIswoon at the grave, but after
marriage she is the first to get over it.
I Think a mans grief is more lasting.
Letsme show you: Here is a little
three-year-old child's grave; see how
neat it looks and how fresh the fiow-
ers are. They were placed there by a
poor mother; now on this side is a
husbands grave. On the slab it says
he was but twenty-six years old. l
dug that grave, and that cross of flow
ers was placed there on the day of the
funeral, and the wife has not been
here since. Now walk up this path a
little way and I'll show you a wife's
grave. But wait. See that young girl
over near the big walk cleaning twigs
off of that grave with the wooden
cross. Her mother is buried there and
has been for five years, but every
| week, when the weather permits, she
comes here to attend to it. Now, here's
the wife's grave, and that neat little
headstone and flowers were placed
there by her husband. He's a poor
brakeman on the railroad. and she
has been dead for three years, but you
drop in here any Sunday when he's of
and you'll find him here, cutting grass
around it or doing something toward
making it look neat and paying what
little tribute he can to her who must
have been so dear to him. But l must
leave you. Here comes the body fol
the grave I dug"

samitarv science aud Hcalth.

Does sanitary science pay? In an
swer to this question President Pier
son, of the Michigan Sanitary Conven-
ton, says capital or wealth is the crea-
ton of labor, and whatever diminishes
the number of the laborers in any
country. or lessons the amount and
efficiency of their labor, diminishes the
amount of a nations capital, and such
was the effect of preventable disease.
Wa is generally regarded as the
great scourge of the race More than
100000 of men fell in the wars of the
first Napoleon. Estimating the value
of every able-bodied man to the eoun-
try at $500, there was a pecuniary
loss to Europe of S10,000,000, 900
But disease is . greater scourge than
wal. The plague of Black Death,
which ragged in Europe in the 14th
century. destroyed 25,000,000 Of lives.
In our late civil wal 100000 men fell
on both sides of the contest; but dur
ing every year of the contest a far
larger number of u population fell
outside of the two armies from pre-
ventable diseases than were lost during
the same time from the ranks of the
combatants.
But to the value of lives lost, we are
to add the cost of sickness, loss of
time, the expense Of nurses. medical
attendance, etc, and also the expense
of almshouses, asylums, and hospitals,
which are to a great extent, directly or
indirectly, the result of preventable
disease, and the aggregate is an
immense sum-.
tits evident from these facts that
sanitary science promotes the saving
of national wealth. Such have been
it's practical results. The death rate
In the city of London 200 years ago
was 80 per thousand. It is now but
20. In twelve English towns. by the
introduction Of sanitary improvements.
the average reduction of typhoid dis
eases alone was 473 per cent. No
state, nation or municipal corporation
can make a more profitable investment
of itsmeans than in expenditures for
promoting public health. It is poor
economy which withholds such appro-
~priations, and criminal policy to toler-
ate such . nuisance as the Nepperhan
River in the midst,of a dense popula-
ton.

Presidential Wealth.

A correspondent writes that Gen.
eral Grant is estimated to be worth
100000, which makes him the richest
ex-President since Buchanan. Hayes is
not rich. though in a well-to-do condi-
ton, and johnson and Abraham Lin
coin each left $4,000. Frank Pierce
entered the White House poor, but
went back to Concord worth $4,000,
Willard Fillmore made a snug fortune
out Of the law, and he was compare
lively rich when he became President
General Taylor saved his army salary.
and was in independent circumstance
when elected to the Presidency. He
held the ofice hardly q year and a halt,
and left a property worth $4,000.
Tyler was a bankrupt when the death
of Harrison made him President. and
he married a fortune in Miss Gardiner.
He went out of Office a rich man, but
he became a:leader in the Confederacy.
and his property was sunk in the gen.
eral ruin occasioned by the war. James
K. Polk had good opportunity to make
money before his election, and he was
an economist by nature. He left $780,
600. Martin Van Buren, wa the rich
est Of all our Presidents, his estate
being estimated at $4,000 He made
money as a lawyer and also as a politi-
clan, and his real estate purchases be-
came immensely profitable, but his
money has been entirely wasted by his
heirs. Andrew Jackson was not a
money-making man. He lived nine
years after the expiration of his term
of office, and left only a large landed
estate commonly known as the Hermit
age. John Quincy Adams was a
methodical business man and an econ
omist. He left about $4,000, which
at that time was q large sum. James
Monroe was SO poor in his old age that
he became the guest of his son-in-law,
Samuel T.. Gouverneur, where he died.
Madison was more successful in taking
care of his money. and left his widow
a property which enabled her to live
handsomely in Washington till the end
of her days. Jefferson passed his last
days in much distress, and was really
afraid that his place would be sold by
the sheriff. He was an object of pub
lie charity. and subscription was opened
in his behalf in Albany, but his death
occurred so soon that the benevolent
effort was not required. Old John
Adams left an estate worth $30,0U0.
Washington was a rich man for his
day, his wealth being solely due to
marriage. Mount Vernon was not a
productive property. but Mrs. Custis
brought him a large fortune which she
inherited from her first husband. View.
ing our Presidents in a merely pecuni-
aly estimate there are a hundred men
i'm New York each of whom could buy
out the whole of them. When one
contemplates their true worth, how
ever, one sees how utterly poor mere
wealth becomes in comparison.

mentions that, Of seventy well anthem

lower limbs were equal in length in
only seven instances, the right limb
being longer in twenty-five and che

claimed that this will have the effect.
where. persons walk without knowing
the direction from their surroundings,
to make their step longer with one
limb than the other. and thus travel in

when they got Lost. In most Of the
