generally set near buildings, where they
also had the advantage of the extra food
that abounds about farm houses. Thus

"courts" provide convenient places for assas- sinations. The savages who inhabit this re- zion are not manly enough to fight fairly, face to face. They lie in wait and shoot their enemies in the back. The Courier Journal asserts that in these counties "the increase of idiocy is so rapid that in a short time the idiots will outnumber the murder CTS and then exceed the number of voters. :"
 Some interesting papers on questions of health appear in the July number of Science. It is shown that there is fallacy in the old notion that men are more susceptible to con- sumption between 25 and 35 years of age and that after that period the chance of dying of consumption decreases. The conclusion was reached because the number of deaths is greatest there, but it overlooks the fact that the number of people in that age is great est. The ratio of consumption to other causes of death continues as great after 35 years as before. Poor people suffer more than the well-to-do from cholera, smallpox, measles and typhus, but those who are bet ter of suffer more from diphtheria, croup, whooping cough and scarlet fever than the poor. Scarlet fever and diphtheria are less prevalent in the crowded tenements than in those houses having but one or two persons to room, and itis singular fact that in basements and cellars there are ten pez cent. less of tn csc diseases than in elevated houses The plausible suggestion is made that sewer gas rises to the higher rooms and into houses on high land and so causes these curious re- sultS

mAssACHUsETTS REPURLICANs


 The Repub blican State committee of Massa- chusetts at it's recent meeting refused to make the vote for Governor Robinson rather than the vote for Blaine the basis for repre- sentation in the next Republican State con- vention. This course has made some stir. If the committee had made the vote for Rob- inson the basis of representation the change would have increased the number of dele gates somewhat and distributed them differ ently, giving more to those sections of the State where the mugwumps were most nu- merous. The change, therefore, was adyo- cated by some members of the committee as a concession to the mugwumps. as an assur- ance that all was forgiven, and that they would be welcomed on their return to the fold. It was op. osed because it would have been departure from the customs of the party, and because if it had been thought best to waive this point for the present in view of the peculiar conditions attending last years canvass the action would have wumps.
 It is interesting to notice the reception which this action has met with. The mug wump organs profess to be satisfied, and the "regulars" think they ought to be. The at titude of the regulars is fairly and well stated by the Worcester Spy, which says: Of course nobody wishes to repel any who prefer to co operate with the Republican party, but it scarcely seems necessary to insist upon overtures of reconciliation and & formal re- admission to fellowship. If MT. Blaine was the stumbling block of last year, he is no longer in the way, and the mugwumps will not expect of Republicans confession of error and professions of repentance. The Republicans exact nothing and offer no terms. They simply expect, as heretofore, to maintain their principles, to advocate and practice such political doctrines as they be- lieve are adapted to promote the welfare of the State and nation. They expect the CO., operation of those who approve their princi ples and opinions, and the hostility of those who disapprove them, and they will not bar ter single principle nor abandon single opinion for the votes, how many soever they may be, which any faction may have to disposa of
