An ice-honse and a good milk

1t is more profitable to feed the

Ayers Sarsaparilla

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darling pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILIA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, apd
completely restored the limb to use.

The Death Rate of War.

Medical Record.
1t is truism that in war disease
kills more than the bullet. The de-
tailed facts showing this, however, in
case OF our own war are Of special in
terest. The states and territories con-
tributed to the army ofthe Union g.
500, 900 men. OF these, during the
four years Of war, there were killed in
action 81 ,O3O, or 2,8S. per cent; there
died ofwounds 43, OOOof1 .85 per cent,
making total of deaths from violence
10000, or 4.73 per cent. On the
other hand there died from disease
224, $50, or 9.98 per cent, disease be-
ing thus twice as fatal as the bullet.
The total mortality among Union sol
diers during the war would be334, GIG
or 14.41 per hundred ofthose engaged.
Thus over Ia out Of every hundred
soldiers died in the four years war.
This is an enormous death rate, but
figures are often wrongly used, and they
w HOG luulCale accurately Une 1nOIIal-
ity rightly attributable to the war.
The ordinary death rate among male
adults is about 8 per thousand annu-
ally in this country. During the four
years OF the war there would have oc-
CURED under any circumstances among
the three and a half million ofsoldiers
about 10000 deaths attributable
to the war. To putin a generalway
instead of four men who would have
died in the natural course OF events,
fifteen men out OF every hundred died
in the course of the war. The death
rate from bullets is only a littlegreater
than the death rate in civillife, but the
soldier has added the enormous risks
from disease.

Development of the Trotter.

When Flora Temple trotted a mile
in 2:1s 81, remarks the New York
Herald, the achievement astonished
the world. This was in 1859. The
mare was looked upon as a wonder.
Few then believed that a mile would
ever be trotted in less than 2:l5. It
took eight years to lower the record
OF 1859, and down to 1874 the best
time made was 2:17. In that year the
record was reduced below 2:15 by
Goldsmith Maid, who scored a mile
in 2:l4.
1t was then generally thought that
the limit of a trotter's speed would
prove to be 2:1O. But Maud S. had
not yet made her appearance, nor hac

record down to within quarter of a

The Heat and the Babies.
Ny. Commercial Advertiser.

N. I. Commerclttl Advertiser.
In this sweltering heat the case Of
the children Of the city is pitiable.
Upon them chiefly fall the calamities
incident to summer, and it is the sac
rifice OF their young lives that swells
the death rate at this season. Heat
which is only uncomfortable to grown
people is speedily fatal to the little
ones, and he who has eyes to see must
be moved to shocked pity at the spec
tacles Of infantile suffering presented
in the streets of the city every day in
this torrid weather.
At evening and even late into the
night the poor little creatures may be
seen in baby carriages, or in their
mothers arms, gasping for a breath
OF cool, pure air.. and for the most
part gasping in vain. How they live
at midday when shut within doors in
asuper-heated and often polluted at
mosphere, only their Creator knows,
and day by day they die in scores for
want OF fresh air and the country
GOODNESS.
Many Of them are i'll fed and imper-
fectly nourished, and these fall quick
ly before the heat as they might at a
time Of pestilence. But even those
who are better cared for in many cases
find it impossible to survive these
prostratingdays. Saturday morn
ing, as we have already related, a
poor mother sat on Staten Island
ferryboat with her babe lying dead in
her arms. She had gone down the
bay in the early morning hours in
search Of life-giving breath for the lit
tie one, and even there the search had
been in vain; the poor little life had
ebbed away, leaving the stricken moth
er to gaze heart-broken upon the still
marble face turned up to hers, and to
bear the little dead child back to the
Swallowed home in the city.
These are the tragedies of city life,
and, alas, no remedy is adequate.
Much is done by fresh air funds, coun-
try sanitariums, children's excursions
and other such things, to save young
lives, and every dollar contributed to
such uses is well spent; but the need is
too great for human agencies, support
ed by tender hearts and generous
hands, to meet fully. These are the
evil days for the little ones; let us all
do what we can to help them in their
time OF terrible need.

OF this sarcasm is deserved by the few,
but when the millions of girls are

she can easily walk three miles. Lam
guor has ceased to be fashionable:
sleep in the day time not to be en-
dured. The soul is thought to be
