The Iron Review does not approve Of

most housekeepers maintain too high
temperature in the rooms; the air Is I'M
duly heated, and hence arises the intoler-
able sensation Of dryness. This sensa-
ton can be, and often is, produced in
dwellings by high-pressure steam. Air
heated TO 20 degrees or IS degrees pro-
duces very different physiological effects
from hat Of 20 degrees. A rise Of 2
degrees or 3 degrees in a room is noticed
by those who are accustomed to q uni
form temperature of 20 degrees or a few
degrees below, and a sensation of uneasi-
ness is produced. The great advantage
OF low pressure steam is that by its EN-
ployment we are able to avoid high tenn
peratures. With a boiler pressure just
sufficient to drive the vapor through the
coils a perfectly uniform heat is main
tanned. Once regulated it needs but lit
tie interference or care. The use of steam
or hot water imparts no moisture to the

Most of the houses have thst'hed roofs,
as indeed do generally all habitations in
this region FOR this nature has made
o h,mtiful provision in a species of tall.
hard sand grass that grows in large
lunches almost everywhere. During the
dry season it becomes very ripe and dry
and can then be burned.
1t seems to be cultivated in some
places, but its use is the same as the in
digenous plant. 1t is cut off close to the
round hillock on which its great body OF
roots always rise above the grounds
bound into bundles of about three inches
in diameter, and is then placed on the
bamboo poles that are tied with strings
~transversely to the rafters-the bundles
are i'll like manner tied to the poles,
and when well done the roof will last
eight years without n leak even in the
fierce torrents which often burst from
the clouds. One would suppose there
would be danger from fire among such
closely lying rows of roofs, as dry and
inflammable MS lint or tow, but no such
casualty is ever spoken of by the people,
and nowhere have | seen the sign of &

People are cleanly in proportion as they
are decent, industrious, and self-respect-
ing. Unclean people are uncivilized.
The dirty classes of great towns are in
variably the dangerous classes of those
towns; and If we would ~civilize those
classes we must first Danish dirt from
among them.
Dirt forms no part Of our nature. 1t
is a parasite feeding upon human life
and destroying it. 1t is hideous and dis
gushing. There can be no beauty where
it is. The prettiest is made re-
pulsive by it. Children are made fret
full. impatient, and bad tempered by it.
Men are degraded and made reckless by
it. There is little modesty where dirt is.
for dirt is indecency. There can be little
purity OF mind if the person is impure;
for the body is the temple of the soul.
and must be clean and pure to be a
worthy shrine of that within. Dirt has
an affinity with self indulgence and in
temperance. Sanitary inquirers have
clearly made out that the dirty classes
are the drunken classes, and that they
are prone to seek in the stupefaction of
beer, gin, and opium, a refuge from the
miserable depression caused by the foul
conditions in which they live.-Samuel

THE ARROGANCE OF cRIME.

The extreme latitude which the laws
regulating criminal procedure in nearly
every state permit to all persons accused
is based on sound principle, but is none
the less liable to abuse. The presump- !
ton in favor OF innocence until guilt shall
be clearly proven is one that docs not adj
init of partial application and must at
tach in every case where a plea Of not
guilty is entered, no matter how open
and notorious has been the commission
by the culprit Of the crime. The indict-
ment being in the nature Of an er porte
proceeding carries no weight of presump
ton with it, and the accused is placed OF
trial with the full burden of proof resting
on the 'prosccution. This necessary feature
of a liberal system should not become
the subject of complaint, though ipciden-
tally it may lead to abuses which outrage
decency and shock the moral sense. 1t is
often found, even in peculiarly atrocious
cases-such as the assassination OF Gar
field and the reckless and wholesale muir
ders ofthe Chicago riot that the criminals
whose completely, if not complete guilt, is
matter of notoriety, assume a heroic air
and seem proud of the attitude in which
the law has placed them. Guiteau's
brazen effrontery might have cast a doubt
upon his sanity, were not the same course
SO frequently pursuc'. Spies, Parsons
and their fellows fiannt the red badge Of
anarchy in the face of the court, and on
taking notes of the replies of obnoxious
talesmen in a manner implying a covert
menace Of revenge. Tolerance of such
conduct is unavoidable, but it should
meet with the general condemnation
of public opinion. and in this
cuse, owing to the fragrant and desperate
character of the %offense, has produced a
reaction favorable to justice. There is,
| however, n sentimentality often mani
tested toward wretchcs on trial for or
even convicted of the worst crimes, which
indicates a deterioration of public taste if
not of public morality. Women of re-
spectacle character have been known to
attend such trials and to evince apparent
sympathy with the accused, and the CON
demned cell has often been kept in bloom
with flowers and resonant with SONG by
females afflicted either with a morbid
craving for %notoriety or a diseased scnsi-
bility lost to all distinctions of decency and

As Professor Walker has shown in sew
eral published statements, and notably
in an article contributed to The Century
magazine, the geological formation of
Manhattan island is of such n character
that sewage and other Objectionable sur
face accumulations make their way
downward. even to the sources from
which the deepest artesian wells take
their supply. Even at the depth of 9 1000
feet the water is contaminated. London
and Paris are in geological basins, and
deep artesian wells in those cities do not
encounter deposits of water polluted by
soakage from the settlements above. A
well 1000 or 5000 feet deep in Paris
supplies water that entered the ground
at points many miles from the city. But
water that comes from such a well in
New York began its downward journey,
in all probability, from the polluted sur
face in the vicinity of the wells mouth,

AN oLo-TIME scAooLMAsTER.

Rewards of Merit which His Pupils Re-
ceived-SIarked with an o..
A hundred and fifty years ago, among
the German settlers of Pennsyl- ania,
there was a remarkable old schoolmaster,
whose name was Christopher Dock. For
three days he taught school at n little
place called %Skippack, and then for the
next three days he taught at Stafford.
Whenever IL of his younger scholars
succeeding in learning his a, B. C, the
good Christopher Dock required the
father Of his pupil to give his son a
penny. and also asked his mother to cook
two egg for him as a treat in honor of
his diligence. To poor children in a new
country these were fine rewards. At va
riouso other points in his progress, an in
dustrious child in one of Docks schools
received a penny from his father and two
egg cooked by his mother. All this time
he was not counted n member of the
school, but only as on probation. The day
on which a boy or girl began to read was
the great day. If the pupil had been dill
igent in spelling, the master, on the
morning after the first reading day,
would give a ticket carefully written or
Illuminated with his own hand. This
read: "Industrious-one penny" This
showed that the scholar was now really
received into the school.
There were 10 clocks or watches; the
children came TO school one after an
other, taking their places neal the mas
ter, who sat writing. They spent their
time reading out of the Testament until
all were there. But every one who sue
ceeded in reading his verse without a
mistake stopped reading and came and
sat at the writing table to write. The
poor fellow who remained last on the
bench was called a lazy scholar.
The funniest of Docks rewards wa
that which he gave to those who made
no mistake in their lessons. He marked
n large o with chalk on the hand of the
perfect scholar. Fancy what a time the
boys and girls must have had trying to
go home without rubbing out this o.
