The Hygiono OF Roller-skating.


had a conference with DR.. Reeves,
who is one of the best physicians in this
city and the ablest writer in this part
of the country on health and sanitary
measures. lie is also president of tho
state medical board. He said to your
correspondent; Il am going to write
an article for a medical journal on
roller-skating There is only one thing
lacking in the rim s to make them per-
feet, and that Va bathrooms. They
ought to have them by all means.
VOW, when say this l speak from
experience. When / go to the rink l
have my servant maze a good warm fire
in my bathroom. | skate for an hour
to an hour and a half. | wrap up good
before leaving the rink, and go straight
to my bathroom and take a good bath
Why, | tell you it is n of the best
~gymnasiums in the country. Before /
started TO skate l could not button my
shoes my wife had to button them for
me every morning. Now / can touch
the back OF my neck with my heel.
Why, it is one of the greatest institu-
tions for healthful exercise that / know
of, and have recommended it to a
number Of my patients instead of medi-
cine, and they tell me that it has done
them a great deal of good"

Queer Laws Unrepealed.

In Boston the law against smoking in
the streets still exists; and any unfort-
unato smoker could be arrested by any
policeman who chose 10 do so. In Eng
land y man was recently arrested under
a nearly forgotten law forbidding driv-
ing through the streets during church
time. In the same country, during tho
early part of this century, a convicted
murderer escaped all punishment by
claiming trial by combat; that is, that
his innocence or guilt might be proved
by a duel with the attorney general
the latter emphatically declining the
test. And it was found that the right
Of demanding such a duel had never
been repealed.

The longer l live the more | see and
am convinced that qualities in dogs,
aye, even to little queer tricks and ways,
are hereditary, and there is no such
thing as getting puppies from parents
that have been allowed to run TO seed,
as far as proper training and field
practice is concerned, and expect them
to te clever and docile workers. The
thing is absolutely impossible. They
may by accident be gifted sometimes
with good NOSE. e.. the mere power
of smell (Which is vastly different from
cleverness and Judgment in using that
power and with animal powers of pace,
etc. but talent, cleverness, and brains
strong enough to stand and hold high
breaking are not there. The result is
forgetfulness, want of self-control, and
want of method in hunting. to say
nothing of the higher quality Of origi-
nality in mode of outwitting game,
which in really great dogs amounts to
genius.

STRANGE to say, Gen. Badeau's novel,
which was written with the view of throw
ing new light upon a certain phase of
President Arthur's administration, has
met with very little success here. There
is scarcely any demand for the book, and
few people seem to have read it. Wash
ington society, which ordinarily delights
in reading and listening to disparaging
comments upon the doings of its neigh
bors, gave no ear to Gen. Badeau. The
reason is not far to seek. The story of
Gen. Badeau's grievance is an old one.
Everybody is acquainted with it. Gen.
Arthur Is no longer president. Secretary
Frelinghuysen Is dead, and the other
characters are of little importance.

For a strange man to get to close
quarters with a strange COW is no easy
matter. Hiram b. was evidently a
master in the art of COW corralling At

She turned and doubled, and we we're
afraid he would lose her. We could all
see the COW stalking from the cars, and
the excitement was intense. Hiram b.
managed things beautifully. Maybe
she was a kind Of p%rovidential COW. lie

Hiram, after a quarter of an hour hard
work, cornered that COW. Whit il she

handkerchiefs to him and the COW.

The Prevalence Of Insanity.

DR.. w. E Sylvester. in a paper
which appeared recently in the Alientst
and Neurologist, states that twenty
years ago the number of insane per-
sons in the United States was only
24,042. In 1870 it had reached 81, 1872,
and in 1880 treatment was required for
81. $50 lunatics. From 1870 to 1880
the increase in insanity was nearly $50
per cent, while that of the total popu-
lation was about rs. These figures do
not, however, represent actual increase,
but during this period large number
of insane, previously concealed, were
brought to public notice by more
thorough investigation. In America,
apart from several large county asy-
lums, there are so State and 40 private
institutions for the care of the insane,
with proper capacity for about
10000, but containing SO, 1872, thus
leaving, probably, $1,000 to be cared
for elsewhere. The proportion of in
sane is greatest in New England, while
the increase has been most rapid in
the Western States. In the State Of
New York there are thirty-five institu-
tions for the care of these unfortunate
people, accommodating II. 343 patients,
while it is said that there are 1000 pro-
vided for at home.-M T. Post.

HAY.
Rules for Measuring 1t in Bulk and In
Stack.

Rules for Measuring 1t in Bulk and In
Stack.
Sam Bassett, of New York, desires 8
rule for measuring hay in the NOW OF
stack. No arbitrary rule can be giY en-
that will apply in every case. Orli.
narily with good upland hay in SIN all
mows, and not too heavily pressed. 81;
cubic feet are calculated for ton, bus il
the NOW is large and the hay closely
pressed, 400 cubic feet will make ton.
This is upon the suppos;tion that the
hay comes from an old NOW. There
fore, to find the number of tons in S
barn NOW, multiply the length, breadth
and depth in feet together and divide
BY such number between 400 and SIP as
is belieyed to be necessary to meet the
cond. ton of the NOW.
In the case of stacks, the case be.
comes little more complicated in the
matter of calculations. To find the
cubic feet in regular conical stack.
first find the area of the base. by null
tiplying the square of the circumfer-
ence in feet (Which is easily measured)
by the decimal .07958, and the product
thus obtained by one-third of the height
in feet, and then divide as before. II
the stack is square or oblong upon its
base. and is very nearly regular. like
the roof to house, multiply the length
and breadth in feet by one-half the
height in feet, and divide IS before. 1.
the stack is in the form of frustrum
pyramid, the accurate calculation be-
comes more complicated, and as an
approximate rule would answer all pur-
poses we will only give the latter: Find
the area of the top and bottom, each.
by multiplying the length by the
breadth, and then multiply one-haI
the sum of these two areas by the
height, and divide as before directed.
These VIII probably be sufficient for all
Ordinary cases. We are of the opinion
that in practice 512 is more frequently
used for diviser than any other num-
bern. Y. Sun.
