POPULAR ERRORS CONCERN
ING HEALTH.

Prof. George H. Robe, of the Coli
lege of Physicians and Surgeons.
Baltimore, in a recent lecture on
"Some Popular Errors Concerning
Health and its Preservation quot.
ed the saying /: "0ne mans meat is
another mans poison and showed
that, while idiosyncracies with re-
gard to certain articles of food or
medicines do exist, they are far less
frequent than is generally believed.
Articles of food which ordinarily
disagree may be better borne if DIFF
ferently cooked. A more serious
error is that one should rise from
the table hungry. The sensation of
hunger is a cry Of the tissues for
food, and should always be appeas-
ed. Much Of the ill>health of
brain workers is due to a lack Of
sufficient food. 1t is impossible to
lay down hard rules as to The ouan>
tity Of food one should eat, but the
remarks Of the old country doctor
who had lived in good health, doing
hard work until four score and ten,
might be taken as examples: II
haYe always eaten when [ wanted
to eat, rs much as | wanted, and the
best food | could GET" Another
fallacy is, that all diseases are due
to disturb of digestion. GraS
ham bread, oatmeal, cracked wheat
ETC., are more difficult Of digestion
than pure wheat bread. "A
1t is a dangerous error to with,
hold cold drinks from persons sick
with fever. 1t is cruel, objectless,
and the dangers that are said to fol-
it are imaginary. The effects
Of alcohol upon the body were dis
.ussed at some length, and the con-
clusion drawn that alcohol does not
heat to the body, hut rather
wlthdraws it. The greatest danger
TO the man who gets dead drunk in
cold weather is that he may freeze
70 death. The use Of alcoholic
in health is injurious, but its
medicinal use is valuable in many
instances. The notion that we
should not battle while o~yerheated
IS a unreasonable as it is widespread
but persons should not remain in
bath long enough to become
The traditional axiom that
Doils are an evidence of good health
a snare and a delusion. Profess
'or Robe said: "For my own part, |
should prefer to be without that
sort Of health. Even Job, when
suffering from an abundant crop,
could not gain consolation from his
wonld- be comforters."
That vaccination does not prevent
is a very dangerous error,
but that it Is a preventive Of other
diseases is equally a fallacy. Sta
prove that before the intro>
luction Of vaccination deaths ans
from smallpox numbered
nearly 5000 for every million inhab>
Since the practice has be-
come general the percentage of
has fallen to about one.tenth
Of the former number. Without
vaccination the deaths from small,
.ox in this country would be $50, 900
a year. Vaccination has not in
creased other diseases. That any /
one remedy is a cure for all diseases
that afhict humanity is an absurdity.
While h~ydropathy and electropathy
are unquestionably Of benefit in'
some diseases, they cannot be relied
upon for the cure Of all.

considerable uneasiness is felt
in some Of our rural neighborhoods
at the appearance Of the seyenteen>
year locusts There is something
mysterious in the sudden swarms Of
these creatures at intervals Of seven
teen Years, each bearing on his
wings the mysterious w, which
superstition calls a sign Of war.
They came in 1885, again in 1851,
again in 1868, and now again they
are due. In 1851 the credulous said
that the w predicted the Cnmean
war, in 1868 the Franco russian
war. The wings show a w in one
direction and an M in the other
wing. Accordingly, we have the
war in Madagascar, In Manitoba
the war with the Mahdl-each one
of which has an M in it. The
ingenious may twist out a number
of other condolences like these.
Yet, these mysterious insect visi-
tors are not the true locusts, but are
the harvest flies Of less destructive
habits. They do not devour vege.
tation, for the strange reason that
they have little or 10 digestive organ.
They do all their eating while in
the grub or larvae state under the
ground, sucking the juices of the
roots Of plants and trees. When
they come above ground, cast off
their grub skin aud appear as com
plete insects, their sole office in life
is to perpetuate their species. The
males live a very short while, the
females only so long as to enable
them to deposit their eggs. The
injury that is done to trees is by the
deposit of the eggs in little notches
which the female cuts in the tender
twigs. These twigs die. ard after
hanging dead on the trees for q
while drop off, and the young larvae
gets safely in the ground, where he
lives for his long term Of years.

Progress at the PcnitentiAry.

There were on Saturday evening COS
convicts under sentence 70 Imprisonment
in the Pcnitentiary. Of these G90 were
in that institution and 2lS were leased
out. The number domiciled within the
walls is, | think, greater than at any
previous time, and the crowding-which
was the cause of the determination OF
the officials not to withdraw the hands
from the Savannah Valley Railroad
still continues. In some cases three men
are confined in cell which is only spa.
cious enough for one. Great vigilance
has to be exercised to prevent sickness
under these conditions. The hospital
however, is not largely peopled.
From the completion Of the new prison
building relief is expected, and it will
probably be ready for occupancy in six
months if the winter is not severe
Work upon it is being pushed with all
dispatch, and 2O3 of its cells are COM
pleted. Forty eight cells and the roof
remain to be added. The building will
be OF equal size with the existing prison
building, and will stand directly oppo.
site 10 it. Hereafter, when time and
money permit, 4 structure will be erected
between them, joining the wings
together, and embracing business Offices
and quarters :or the officers and guards.

been built into the western wall of the

A REGULAR JUROR

There is no question but that
Mr.. Bowker, the carpenter, has
been upon more juries than any
man in Carson. Where a jury
meets, there is Bowker. The con-
stables who 20 out hunting jury
men seem to have an idea lat with
out Bowker on the jury it would
be highly illegal, prevalent and n.
G. One day an old petty larceny
thief was being tried, and the trial
was about to 90 on when he sudden
" sprang to his feet and called
out, "Where is Bowker." He had
always had Bowker on the jury
when he was tried and acquitted
before, and concluded that the
Court must have made some mis-
take. When a case is called and
Bowker gets on the jury it is as
good as play to see this solemn
visaged man sitting there, listening
to the law as laid down. He looks
twice as solemn as Judge Field
and good deal wiser. Bowker is
not a yindictive, brutal man, but
tender in his ways, and always
likes to see the under dog get a fair
shake. His motto is always not
guilty. and he hardly ever fails.
A criminal IN a tight box feels bet
ter with the humane Bowker on
the jury, than an innocent Nan
with a $4,000 lawyer at his back.
Where Bowker is, there too, is for
giveness and mercy, dropping down
Ike the dew Of Heaven. We think
It would be about as cheap tor the
county to hire Bowkcr on regular
salary and pay him by the month.
Other men have been lax in their
attendance upon the Police Court,
but the faithful Bowker is right
there, rain or shine, fast by the
post Of duty.

CONFESSIONS TO IRELAND

The Chief Secretary for ireland,
and son-in-law of Lord SALISBURY,
Premier of England, has made .
speech at Balfour, which has Gre
ated profound sensation in Eng
land and Ireland.
He went into Office as q pro-
nounced Coretionist, but investi-
CATION and thinking seemed to have
materially changed his views, and
in his speech he advocated .
change of policy toward ireland.
and proposes to allow it to be gov
erned by the same laws as England
is governed by to day.
His policy, which from the pres
eut portents will prevail with the
present government, favors the
gradual replacement of the vice
regal government at Dublin Castle
BY the information Of an Elective
Board, to sit in Dublin and possess
the power of dealing with all in
ternal questions Of Government.
This is about as much as the
Irish have been fighting for for
centuries. and the adoption Of such
a conservative policy would prove
vastly beneficial both to England
and Ireland. The past policy of
the Home Government toward Ire
land has been such as to make
England a shame in the eyes OF
every civilized nation of the earth.
1t has thrown both countries into
al unhealthy feverish state ana re-
suited in many instances in a stag
nation of business interests, mat
ter which Englishman ere not slow
to consider. The old ministry,
placed themselves in a position
where to grant any concessions
seemed like retreat, and with the
provcrbial English stubbornness
this was never thought of. 1t is
quite likely that the Government
considered that the concessions
might be more gracefully made
now than at any time, and the new
ministry could do it with better
grace than the old. No doubt the
pressure Of public opinion has had
much to do with the change, as
the citizens of London got tired of
having the stones Of their big pub.
lie buildings constantly falling
about their ears.
To make ireland prosperous and
its people contented means large
addition to the excheauer of Eng
land, and England seems at last te
be beginning to see it.
