THE Ohio man who finds himself the
fortunate possessor of the house in which
Gen. Grant was born, not only has a good
thing, but plainly knows that he has it.
He is said to look with disd in upon the
offers made to him to sell the house out
right, and unless he can get his own price
he declares his intention OF selling il
piecemeai. That this would be the more
profitable plan can admit Of no dispute.
If he sold the house entire. he could sell
it only once; by selling il at retail there APP
pears no reason why it should not prove a
permanent source Of income. lie has
already begun selling window catches at
- each and ~splinters from the weather
boarding at remunerativc figures, and ms
long AZ the hardware shops maintain their
supplies and the forests of tho great
Northwest hold out, the stock Of window
catches and splinters should be practically
inexhaustible. Under such circumstances
the birthplace of a great man is like the
widow cruise, an enduring source of sus-
tenance. Not till every man aud boy in
the land has been supplied with a walk

to duty under it. Gen. Grant assumed

States. establishing his headquarters with
the army of the Potomac. Gen. W. T.

We have now reached the hottest
part Of the year, and the beginning Of
the season when old and yoang are
peculiarly liable to sudden and
malignant disorders. Modern science
holds that these diseases are propagated
y germs, which are developed by heat.
inding a congenial place Of growth in
the blood and tissue OF the human body,
the parasites multiply and a ect the
working OF our organs, injnriously,
-omctimes fatally.
IL is part of the same theory that a
weak or previously diseased body is "a
more inviting field for the rayages of
disease-germs than is a healthy body.
ct 1t be supposed, for example that
the seeds of disease enter tho body
through the mouth, aud are swallowed
either with impure water o. with the
food. A vigorous and healthy stomach
may digest these germs as well as any
other Vegetable or animal matter, while
a sluggish stomach may give them time
to establish themselves in their new
quarters.
cholera is not the only disorder to DO
guarded against, and by taking regu
larry, every summer, the proper prcctu.
tons against the ordinary summer dis

to food 1t should be thoroughly
cooked. so thoroughly that if it on
tanned any disease-germs. they would be
destroyed. terfectly ripe fruit that has
moi begun To decay is also approved,
Tut it should be carefully avoided
upon the first appearance OF an cpl
denic disease.
Probably more evil is done by our
drinks than by our fool. Alcoholic
drinks will not contain any disease
germs. but they stimulate the stomach,
and when the inevitable reaction comes
the body is less abe to resist tho attack
Of disease. To be avoided always, it is
particularly necessary to avoid them in
the summer Unless one is sure that
the water supply used in the family 10
free from vegetable and animal matter.
and very little water is free from il, all
the water should be boiled before 1t is
used.
For drinking purposes boiled water is
very flat" Heat drives out The air,
and a fish can not live in boiled water
onsequently, when your toiled water
has cooled fill a bottle two-thirds full of
it and shake it vigorously a few min
utes to restore the air to it.
To these rules add three others Keep
the body clean; avoid violent, heating

lat it is not easy to observe all these
functions. There are circumstances
