We must attribute the cholera and

From life of freedom he is consigned
to Imprisonment and relegated to a
diet incompatible to his taste. With

condition, he now breathes the odors
Of the pen. From bed of leaves and

worried with insects. All these things
must be considered in arriving at
knowledge of the causes which bring
disease and death to our swine.

Recent statistics show that in 1854 the
number of boiler explosions in the
United States was 152, being less than in
the previous year. There were 254 per-
sons killed and 26l injured in them,
however, and the number is much larger
than it should be. Fifty six of the ex-
plosions took place in sawmills, where
the so.called engineer finds a too facile
fuel in shavings Men chosen for such
positions should have the gumption to
perceive that such firing generates
steam too rapidly for safety. These
people can reduce the general death rate
If they wish, and can especially reduce
the present high percentage of mortality
among sawmil engineers.

LADIES DEPARTMENT..
WOnlnn's Arc,

All people do not grow OLD at the
same pace Women feel the truth Of
this; no wonder, therefore that they
refuse to tell how many years they
have been in the world, for our habit
is to reckon age by years. For this
reason she who knows she is only
twenty-five does not like to confess
that she has had forty birthdays, not
because she is ashamed of her real
age, but because of the falseness of
reckoning age by the artificial periods
we have adopted. Some people are
old at twenty, others are young at six
ty. Some persons live three years in
one. and some come to old age before
two score. Others live and grow old
slowly, and it is a mere misrepresenta-
ton to say of them that they are fifty
years old, as we must say in our ar
tificial method. 1t is absurd to reduce
life to a mathematical statement. APP
ropos of this subject occurs the follow
ing: Two literary ladies were wit
nesses in a trial. One of them, upon
hearing the usual questions asked,
"What is your namep and how old are
you2" turned to her companion and said
II do not like to tell my age; not that 1
have any objection to its being known,
but I don't want Unpublished in all the
newspapers" "Well,' said the ladys
friend, 81 will tell you how you can
avoid it. You have heard the objec-
ton to all hearsay evidence; tell them
you don't remember when you were
born, and all you know Of it is by hear
say" The ruse took, and the question
was not pressed.

A man was lately tried in England for
giving five weeks-old child four drops
Of laudanum, thereby causing its death.
The examination OF witnesses showed
that the ideas Of womanhood concern
ing the administration of narcotics to in.
fants are dangerously hazy. One
woman thought the dose of laudanum
for child was one drop for each year of
its age; another thought it was drop
for each week. A physician testified
that most soothing syrups were CON-
posed of opium, and fatal results often
attended their use. lie thought they
were unsafe at any age under one year,
and that even homeopathic preparations
we're unsafe for infants.
