Medical statistics from various parts Of
the country, notably from New Eagiand,
show that consumption has greatly de-
cliued within twenty-cspccially within
ten-years. and that il is still steadily de-
clining. This is largely due, no doubt, to
the better understanding ofhealth laws and
obedience thereto. Forty or fifty years
ago New England was fairly rayaged by
consumption. Whole families died Of it,
and hardly family could be found in
which some member or members had nos
been lost from that cause.

THE EXCHANGE BUILDING.

April, was the day set apart for the dedi.
cation of this building. 1t is situated on the
corner of Hudson and Harrison streets in the
midst of the wholesale grocery and produce
district.
This exchange, thcsgss the youngest, prom.
ises to be the~l iveliest of them all. It was or
ganined in 1873 by a few dealers in dairy
products; it now numbers some 500 members.
Its success is largely due to the catholic
spirit of its governing committee. They
realize that this is the age of combination and
cooperation and consolidation, and they
hope to nave the sellers of butter and boots,
of dry goods and drugs, as well as grocersm meet
together on the same floor for barter and ex-
change and the prices which rule here will
likely rule the country.

Living with the Head High.

1t is often a question amongst people
who are u~nacquainted with the anatomy
and physiology OF man, whether lying
with his head exalted or even the body, is
most wholesome. Those Who consult their
own ease on the point arguein favor OF
that which they prefer. Now, although
many delight in bolstering up their heads
at night, and sleep soundly without in
jury, it is nevertheless a dangerous habit.
The vessels through which blood passes
from the heart to the head, are always les
sened IL the cavities when the head is
resting in bed higher than the body; there
fore, in all diseases attended with fever,
the head should be pretty near on a level
with the body; and people ought to accus.
tom themselves to sleep in this position
to avoid danger.-Hall's Journal OF

This old fort, to which brave Capt. Craw-
ford's body was brought by slow, sad marches,
has a history OF its own. The story dates as
far back as the second year Of the late civil
war. In July, 1869, Gen. Carleton camped
here on his way east to the war, with u body
of California volunteers. He stopped here
because water was struck at this spot.
Water was moro precious thar gold ON those
long desert marches. 1t was necessary to
guarti the springs from the Apaches, in order
TO keep the route of travel open. So a com.
pany of soldiers was left, and the place was
named Fort Bowie.
There was not a recommendation to the
spot except that springs Of fresh water Were
there, 1t was down III the heart of a savage,
desolate mountain region. The mountains
slope to the north. Their sides are covered
with sage brush and cactus, and the ground
| is wild and broken with rocks.
The place is on the military. route from
Tucson to Santa Fe. The soil is like much of
the rest of the country %hereabouts, only bar
rem from want of irrigation. As that is
being accomplished the region of what the
| old Biographies called the Great American
Desert is gradually being transformed into
grain fields and gardens. They say the word
Arizona means s. arid zone.'
Bowie is the oldest gaIrisoned fort in Ari-
iona. AT the outbreak of the wal the other
military stations We're abandoned, and when
Gen Carleton left the little company OF Cali
fornia volunteers at this place in 1862 there
was not a United States soldier in the terri
tory. The Apache Indians We're as hostile to
the government then as they are now, and
when they saw the other forts abandoned it
is said they fancied they had conquered the
United States. 1t is to be hoped Geronimo's
repeated escapes win not Incline them to the
same opinion now.
Fort Bowie has been greatly improved in
the last few years.

Smithsonian institution. Young Rogers has
a perfect dignity of manner, and one of the
most musical of voices. He is the very OPP
posite of his father. He is as reserved and
cool as his father is expansive and excitable.
He is one Of those typeso of young men who
are not found outside of the south. He is
mild hammered, quiet, almost meek in APP
p%earance. A man who would never provoke
a quarrel, but who would not walk one inch
to avoid one. In peace he is dove
like; in a quarrel he is tigerish. His devo-
tion to his father is one of the most marked
traits of his character. The two are almost
inseparable. They never act without con
sulting each other, and if they ever want to
have a jolly time they go out together in.

Rogers has %undoubted talents, and will cut a
still larger figure in the history Of our

THE PRESENT wHIrE HOUSE,.

= I'll u kED AN VI ALAN toOSk
In 1862 the corner stone of the White
House was laid, and though the neighboring
hills of Maryland ind Virginia were full OF
excellent marble, they were unaware of it,
and a sandstone from a Virginia quarry was
used in the walls of the building. This sand
stone was afterwards found to be such a poor
building material hat it became necessary
to give IL each year n coat of thick white
paint to keep it from %crulnbling away. The
house is 1T0xS6 feet in dimensions.
The original White House cost about $780,
900, and when John Adams and his family
first occupied it, but six of its rooms were
furnished. In 1914, on the invasion of
the city by the British troops, President
Madison fed from the city to "a place of
safety in Maryland, but his wife, Dolly Paine
Madison, remained to fulfill an engagement
for q dinner party which she had made, not
believing that the British would reach the
city before the next day. While the guests
were assembled at the banquet a servant
rushed in with the startling intelligence that
the enemy was on Capitol hill. Then there
was a scalnper. The guests fled in all direc-
tions and half an hour later the British
soldiers were in the house. Finding a glori-
bus dinner spread in the east room they re-
called issH.ssallYes first, then pillaged the house
and Set fire. to it, The wines which the
soldiers found in abundance at the deserted
feast so fired their brains that they made a
bungling job oil the ~incendiary portion of
their raid and but little damage was done to
the building. 1t was not until 1917 that the
house was restored.
When General jackson was president in
1929 the grand portico was added, with its
Ionic columns, which add such a grandeur to
the building. Since HOld Hickory's' time no
otller important change has been made in the
building, except refurnishing and its annual
coat of paint. These expenses, together with
the original cost OF the building, foot up to
nearly $500, 900.

The presidents house has been the scene of
more changes, and business Of Importance
to the welfare of u greater number of people
has been transacted within its walls during
the past eighty-six years of its existence than
III any h1ilding in the world. 1t was the first
public building erected in Washington. In
March, 1792, the commissioners having
charge of the new capital city advertised III
the New York. and Philadelphia papers flor
a plan for a presidents house TO be erected in
the city of w Washington, 2 Offering as a prize for
tho competition the liberal sum OF $500 for the
accepted design. The successful enc among
the fifteen applicants was James Hoban, a
young Iiishmar. He pleased the commission
ers so well by his talent that they gave him a
large salary TO suparintend the construction
of the house. F.obanis plan, it was after
wards found, was not such an original con-
ception as they at first supposed, for he
closely copied the plan of Duke Of Ieinster's
palace at Dublin, so that the present White
House is almost a duplicate of that palace.
The above sketch of the tsPresident's pal
ace" as 1t was then called, has been handed
down to us from those days. A fitting ac-
compartment to it would be this extract
from d description OF the city by John Cot
ton Smith, al, that time member of congress
from Connecticut. He wrote: Zone wing of
the Capitol only had been erected, which,
with the presidents house, n mile distant
FROM it, both constructed with white sand
stone, were shining objects in dismal con-
tIasts witt, the scene arouad them. Instead
of recognizing the avenues and streets por-
trayed IN the pan. of the city not one WAC

as laid down on paper, from the Capitol to
the presidential mansion, was nearly the
whole distmacea deep morass covered with
elder bushes, which were cut through to. the
