Drunkards to be Hammered.

The news from BCrmah shows us that at
last Sir ". Lawson's true sphere has been
discovered anda place found where he will
be warmly welcomed. King Theebaw has,
ii seems, given up drink, to which he has
hitherto been greatly addicted. As is
usual with unfortunate drunkards, he is
not satisfied with becoming sober himself.
but he insists upon every one becoming
sober. His methods are net exactly those
of Sir ". Lawson and the Alliance, but
there is no reason for supposing that the
teetotal zealots of England would hesitate
to adopt such methods had they only the
power to carry them into effect. The Jes-
uits and missionaries OF Spain were so
anxious to benefit the souls Of the natives
of the West Indian Islands, of Peru and
of other countries that they burned their
bodies alive. The Alliance is no whit be-
hind the Jesuists in zeal and fanaticism.
In Mandalay hammering appears to be the
punishment adopted for drunkenness. A
Burman has been hammered to death and
the companion Of his drunken spree, a
Jewish British subject, is diving in Jail
with several bones broken. Thus it will
be seen that the customs introduced by
Theebaw differ widely from those which
prevail here. In Burmah drunkards are
hammered to death in England they ham
mer their wives to DEATH The Burmese
method clearly possesses marked advanta-
ges, but we fear that Sir w Lawson will
never succeed in inducing the House of
Commons to legalize it here London

were still his submissive children, mother

bring upon them, they shouldn't rebel
at his will; of course, twas going to be
very hard for them to go out homeless in
their old age, specially with poor mother
so sick and helpless, but still they'd

he should be separated. But at last he fell
to comforting himself with the fact that
the dear Lord knew that it was through
no fault of his own that mother and he
were threatened with the loss of their dear
little home, which meant beggary and the
almshouse, place they prayed TO be deliv-

THE OLD HOMESTEAD.

Twas when the sunset fiushes
Gilded the dear old home,
When twilight's solemn bushes
Babe holy memories come,
We fingered, fondly turning
Toward the spot we loved so well,
With sad and tender yearning,
To say our last farewell.
No more for us the garden
And love-wreathed rooms TO roam;
The stranger there is warden
No, no, It's not his home
1t hath no memories bringing
For him joy kin to pain;
For him no echoes ringing
Shall bring the loved again.
Sweet home dear home o'erflowing
With precious memories,
Not life in all its going
Shall bring more blest than these.
4 dear, bright picture ever
As then, when sunset fell,
YOuth-gilded. thou forever
We Il love: sweet home, farewell

Who love their dollies and like their toys,
And talk of something besides the boys?

Little old fiins who talk oftheir =" beauX,'
And vie with each other in stylish clothes.

Food and Health.

The fact that cholera has invaded Paris
and that, in city reputed to be so well
prepared to resist its approach, it found
the conditions for Il ready Judgment, makes
the question of preparation for the posi-
bic invasion of the disease in the United
States important. For while cholera may
than probable it will. 1t therefore be-
comes important to have regard to our food
supply as one of the elements of good
health. There are three conditions which
invite epidemic-filth, overcrowding and
bad food. Where all these prevail the
sweep Of an epidemic is apt to be dreadful.
In Naples, where the cholera did its most
deadly work, all these conditions were
present. The people were poorly supplied
with food and were enervated by the de
tective quality of what they had The
city was a marvel of filth and squalor and
was densely crowded Hence when cholera
came it swept through the city with terri
bic destructive power.
Good healthy food that will give
strength to the blood is the best prevent
i've of diseases that can be provided. 1t
furnishes the system with the resistive
power necessary to ward off disease. On
the other hand food detective in quality
or quantity leaves the blood impoverished
and the system open to the attack OF
various forms of epidemic. Thus the po-
tato rot in Ireland, which produced fam
inc, was attended by low fevers, evidently
superinduced by the lack of proper food.
And cholera, typhoid fever, diphtheria,
and other diseases rapidly spread where
the people are reduced in strength by i'm
proper food. And when to this is added
filth and overcrowdine all the conditions
for an epidemic exist. And in view of
what is now so well known as to sanitary
laws, it is important that we take measures
to put our habitations in condition to meet
a possible trial.

EGYPTIAN 0BEIIsKs.-There are in ex-
istence rather more than forty Egyptian
obelisks. OF these England possesses
seven, America one, Germany one, France
two Italy Including Rome, which has
twelve seventeen, and Constantinople
two. The remainder, many OF which are
fallen or broken, are still in Egypt. The
smallest is the Lepsius obelisk, in the ROYAL
Museum at Berlin, which is feet u
inches high, and weighs 200 pounds the
largest unfinished, of Assouan, still in the
quarries at Seyene, the estimated weight
Of which is more than one and a half mill
ion pounds, is the weight of the largest
obelisk now standing. This Is known as
the Vatican obelisk, and was removed by
orders of SextuS V, l5S5-6, from the circus
Of Nero to the site on the Square of ST.
Peter 1t now occupies: one of the two ODE
lisks of Luxor, that which has been re-
moved to Paris, comes seventh, with 49S,-
GOO pounds Of weight; the New York ore
liSk stands ninth, with 44S,000. and the
Thames cmhankment obelisk tenth. with
$4,000 pounds. Smaller English obelisks
are, one at Corfe Castle, weighing 10000
pounds, second at Alnwick, weighing 606
pounds, and one at Zion House, concerning
which nothing is known. 4 pyramidion
