DIRECTIONS TO HoUSEKEEpERS.

To obviate some of the nuisances
which the carelessness of house
keepers is responsible for, the State
Board of Health of Louisiana has
sent out circular. The directions
are applicable everywhere, and we
quote the greater part:
Keep the yards of premises free
from accumulations of vegetable and
animal refuse, which the heat of
summer will rot and render often
sive. to the senses and injurious to
health by concentrating air and
water.
Fill all low places. Disinfect
drains and low spots by the free APP
plication of unslaked lime, or by a
thorough sprinkling with chloride of
lime or solution of copperas.
Never allow stagnant water to
remain under the house, Establish
drainage to street gutter, or fill up
existing holes with river-sand.
Have all vaults on premises
deodorized and disinfected with n
solution of copperas. Two pounds
of copperas dissolved in gallon of
water added to the contents of foul
vaults will do much good. Repeat
this application every two weeks.
All trash, vegetable and animal.
should be disposed of by burning it
in the kitchen stove. This can be
done at no expense. You thus get
rid of matter which if allowed to
remain even few hours becomes
offensive. You assure your own
comfort. improve the sanitary con-
dition of your premises, and accom-
plish the great work of disposal of
garbage by cremation.
% A brief trial of this suggestion
will convince housekeepers that it is
as easy to deposit all such matter in
the stove, where it is Immediately
consumed and finally disposed of,
as in disgusting garbage-box.
"The Board of Health advises
that hydrant-water be filtered before
used for drinking or cooking pur-
poses. Cistern-water is liable to
become contaminated, but can be
purified by sinking in the cistern,
Immediately behind the faucet, a
bag of charcoal. One ounce of
permanganate of potash, dissolved
in gallon of water and added to
the contents of cistern, will produce
an excellent result"
We can speak from our own ex-
perience of the ease and cleanliness
with which kitchen refuse can be
disposed of in the range or cook
stove fire.-Samitary Engineer.

STATEMENT.

THE undersigned, a Committee of Di-
l. rectors of the Equita BILE Life AS.
surance Society of the United States,
appointed to formulate the views of the
Board on the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, report
1st-The Society issues all the approx
ed forms of assurance, including Ordi-
nary Life, Endowment and Tontine po-
licies. II is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by IN
tending assurers.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi-
dends and surrender value; are indis.
puta BILE after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death
3d-Thc premiums on Tontine po-
Icy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only pay
able in the event of death, the holder of
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu-
INFLATED profits IN cash at the end of a
stated period; thus, during his own life
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-EXpcriencc shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontinc po-
iicies approXimates to or exceeds the
amount of premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestable after three years, and
al ,afia tnlN off Il rs
death.
Gth-Expcrience shows that the NOR.
tally is lower among Tontine policy
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind of assurances, which is consider
able source of profit.
7th-Tontine policies will be made
non-forfeitable under the laws of the
State, if so desired at The time The as.
surance is effected.
Sth-Thc Tontine system is fair and
lust; its accounts are accurately kept,
separate from all other business; the
funds judiciously invested and improv.
ed, and the accumulated profits faith.
fully guarded and properly appoltioned.
9th-The Society has since its organi.
cation transacted a larger amount of
new business than any other company,
while its new business for the first half
of the present year is $1,750,O0o larger
than that of the first half of 1884, 1t
has Assets of S6O,OOO,OO0; over $4,000
900 of Surplus, and its ratio of Surplus
to Liability is greater than that of any
other company.

HAS on hand and for sale various
Ill sized surf boats, constructed on
an improved principle of my own in.
vention, each frame being of one piece
across the keel. The frames are closer
together, and the boats are therefore
lighter and less liable to bilge in, than
boats of any other build. Each side
plank and gunwale is in one piece from
stem to stern, and Is consequently not
liable to strain, there being no midship
butts. The material and workmanship
are warranted to be of the best quality.

boats, and dispose of them at San Fran.

burning they wished. The result was
fnlI vote and fifteen thousand msJorlty-a
change of more than tWeby. FIVE thousand
votes as compared with the preceding year.
The same tactics brought about the same
effect last November, and it seems lmproh-
able that they will fail next fall, when the
conditions are more favorable than ever.
Mr., Barbour has served two terms in Con
Dress and has been reelected. His candl-
dacv for Governor would make assurance
donblv sure, and great efforts will be made
tn induce him to head the democratic ticket.
Should he decline there arc other able men
to take the lead. !.
Among these the frst,is Congressman
John w. Daniel, of the Lylchburg district,
who, though defeated fear years ago by
Governor Cameron, is regarded to-day as
the strongest man in the State, after MI:
Barbour. Mr.. Daniel has more than local
reputation. In the late national campaign
his services were sought by the democratic
organizations of many States-eVen as lar
West as Nebraska and Oregon. He is, by
common consent, the a'lest orator OF VIZ
pinia, and has few equal. anywhere. Ihose
Who heard his Grafton at the Washington
Monument ceremonies will readily 1ndorse
this opinion. He possesses what IS rarely
found in one mana deep intellect and
wide learning comhineu with all the graces
of the polished elocuti"nist His two legal
works, published Som 8 time ago, placed
him in the first rank Of jurists, while his
silvery tongue is as PLEASING to the ear as
that of your own Dankl Dougherty. His
personal appearance q tributes much to
the effect of his words4 He bears a won.
derful resemblance to tn portraits of Edgar
| ~
mounted by a mass of waVy hair, black as
beneath which glow a pair of large brown
ewes that fairly burn igh intellectual fire.
Any one would take him for poet rather
than politician-and POLITICIAN he is not
| in the ordinary sense C the word. AS q
stump speaker he is at his worst, for ne
takes no pains to adapt himself to the men
tai calibre of bis bearers. He is utterly
lacking in talent for organizing and in ca
pacily for the drudgery of political manage
ment With cultured audience before
him be is In his element, and, in my opin-
ion, has no equal in or out of Congress.
IN the event of Mr.. Barbour's declination
and Mr.. Daniels failure to receive the nom
nation, it seems that Charles E. Stuart, Of
Alexandria, Speaker Of the House of Dele
gates. is The coming man. Only thirty two
years OF age but with an enviable record as
a Judge and legislator, he is Virginia's pet
Personally he is better liked than either Of
the more prominent gentlemen described
above. He has not yet had an opportunity
to display his campaigning abilities in q
wider field than a Legislative contest, buI
his hold on the affections of the people is sc
strong that nothing short of stupidity could
defeat him if he runs for Governor. There
are other available men, any of whom, it il
thought, can defeat Malone, but these three
are first in the hearts Of the voters of the

The quiet land, the days harsh clamor done,
And naught is heard saving an unseen piovcr
Salute the dying sun.
hinged around with memories of vanished hours,
Drunk with the perfume cinging t. one natu",
NV soul drifts back into land of flowers
Beyond the sunsets flame.
Beyond the sunsets brightest crimson burning,
Beyond the glitter of the vesper star,
Unto my youths sweet prime my thoughts are
turning
To land which leth far
lover the tide that knoweth no rccrossing
When once our feet have touched the hihcr
shore)
Whose sapphire skies aud golden wneat hc'ua
tossing,
Mine eyes shall see no more
Again | walk through fields of clover,
q, my lost love walk hand in hand with sou,
The dappled skies above US bending over,
Our feet kissed wet with dew.
Or staud with eyes adew with 10Y to listen
To robins singing in the linden tree,
Watching the ripping rivers white waves gllSteh
Towards the far Oft sea.
In those fair days, ere the stormy morrow
Had reft the happy skies of all their blue,
We knew not Of the bitter word called sorrow;
To US all things Were true.
Our eyes we're not then worn with ceaseless weep
ing,
Our hearts bowed down by this rcsstless woe,
And we were happy then for fate was sleeping
In our sweet long ago.
For us in truer form and Furer fashion
Did the broad purpose Of our life increase,
Than in the after time when deeper passion
Had robbed our hearts of peace.
We heard not then the echoes of the mnruiur
Coming before the wreck of all our hope,
We only felt we TODD in that dear SUMMER
Upon life's moving slope.
So high the love that burned within our bosoms
Our eyes upturned to Gods fair skies my sweet,
Saw not the serpent trailing through the blossoms
To pause beside our feet.
What matters it the way we closed our story;
How first doubt deepened into dark distrust,
Since the sweet hopes that clothed our lives with
glory
Are ashes, now, and dust.
The night is stealing up the darkened heaven 4
And settles down upon the wavelcss sea;
Good bye. old times sweetheart, yon are forgiven,
God grant the like TO me.
The night dews rain upon the bending flowers,
The fragrant lily droops her weary head,
And like the faith that Frightened those lost
hours,
The sunsets fame is dead.
