In August, 1884, the Milwaukee Sem
tinel published dispatch from Ply
mouth, Sheboygan county, to TIE effect
that the people of the neighboring vii
lage of Cascade were much exercised over
the existence In their midst of an alleged
wife murderer-Dr. n. Q. Hail. 1t
seems that in Michigan Hall had been
once CONVICTED of ife-murder, but had
secured new trial and through some
technically had been released, A book
had been written on the case and widely
circulated in Michigan, and public opinion
became SO strong that Hall moved across
the lake to Cascade. But here the book
and the stories followed him, and the
excitement became so intense at Cascade
as to threaten to destroy his medical prac.
tice. At this iuncture the Sentinel cor
respondence stated the fact of the gossip
and cited from the books some alleged
facts in the doctors life. The latter
brought libel suit against the Sentinel
for $40, 900 damages. After week
trial in Milwaukee, the jury Wednesday
last found for the defendant, thus declar>
ing the publication not TO be libel, under
the circumstances. 1t was most pre-
posterous suit. and the verdict will meet
popular approval.

How To Dress Healthfully.

The science of Hygiene may be looked
upon as the outcome Of the present
century.
It is true that the ancient Greeks and
Romans were good sanitarians, and that
the Hebrews compiled the finest code of
sanitary laws which has ever be, n made;
but, during the Middle Ages, all this val
liable knowledge was allowed to lie shut
UP in hooks.
Had the Bible been properly stuffed
those terrible epidemics which decimated
Europe coul5 never have happened: yet,
so great was the popular ignorance on
the subject. that the Jews, whose obe-
dience 10 the Biblical laws saved them
from many diseases, were, o.. this very
account, accused of causing the diseas
by witchcraft.
The present century has witnessed
revival OF the science of health and
health knowledge was never so widely
distributed among the people as at the
present time. when sanitarians are max
ing every effort to increase it, and TO
render it popular.
In past times the unhealthiness of
dress in certain of its forms was not un-
derstood, and it is not surprising that
there was no revolt against them. At
present, on the contrary, fashions sins
against health are we'll understood by
sanitarians. who are using their best
Wichita eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1886-1890, 1886-09-08

endeayors to make the devotees of
fashion understand them also. SO that
there is every hope that the higher in
telIect will gradually succeed in making
dress truly beautiful, which it cannot be
without at the same time being thorough
" healthy, for heath aud beauty go
hand in hand.
In order to attain this, dress must be
regarded from physiological IS well as
artistic standpoint. and a little study
soon enables one TO see Ia the Two are
not only congenial, but are in.ecce. ED
ent. One need not go to the extremes
that some Of the dress refornler3 re,
and wear ugly, unpecom ng things, nor
put them upon their cli.ldr Il; ali this is
as far wrong in one direction as the bad,
unheaithful dressing is wrong n an
other.
The dress should be protecting, be-
coming. and so planned that every
movement Of the body shall be free and
graceful, and this may be obtained, if
we will only give thought and care 20
the subject, and regard it as one oi the
essentials of proper and correct LIVING;
and also take into consideration the In
tiuence it will have on the health OF so
many in the future.

Scarce.
Morristown, n. j., is town of about
5000 population, lying among the
Orange Mountains, within "a miles of
New York.
1t is a very old town, having been
founded about the year 100, and it's
streets are lined with wide-spreading
elms, whose great gnarled trunks re-
mind one OF the trees OF New Haven.
It was here that Washington had his
headG uarter6 during a great part Of the
Revolutionary war, and the old tavern
where he was initiated into the mysteries
of Freemasonry has been lately moved
to the foot of the hills on which his
army was encamped, and it is now being
fitted up for a country boarding house.
It was in this hotel that Washington,
Hamilton, and Tilghman had their
offices.
They tell a story of Washington's
GOODNESS in time of danger which re-
minds one much of the stories told of
Grant in this regard.
It was at dinner at this hotel. The
meal was over and a number Of the
younger officers were discussing the
wine and walnuts in the dining-room,
when an alarm that the British were
coming was given. One Of the guests
became very much excited and rushed
out into the entry and yelled:
Where's the General? Where's the
General?"
: Washington was coming down the
stairs at the time. He met the young
man, heard his excited story, and in
moderate tones said:
." Be quiet, young man, be quiet.

outlook over large part of the sur
rounding country. This is now kept in
the same style as it was during his oc.
cupancy. It is filled with the furniture
of colonial days and has many Of the
relics of Washington and other colonial
statesmen.
Not long ago the Directors Of the
headquarters were very anxious to get
q cooking kettle, such as was used at
the time of the Revolution, and they
hunted everywhere within q range OF
100 miles, but in vain. At last they
found one under their very noses. 1t
belonged to an old lady OF Morrtstown,
and she very kindly gave it to them.
They received 1t in the afternoon and
too late to take it to the headquarters.
They priced it so highly that fearing
that something might happen to it they
deposited it that night In bank vault,
and the next day took it out and hung
1t upon the crane In the old-fashioned
chimney.
Speaking of Washington's cooking.
during a large part of his residence at
Morristown money was very scarce and
good victuals no less so. NashingtOn's
housekeeper was an Irish woman, Mrs.
Thompson. She came to the General one
day and said that she had nothing but
the ordinary soldiers rations left.
UPON Washington's telling her that he
had no money she asked tor an order
/ for six bushels of salt, W IL which she
! said she wanted TO preserve fresh bee.
! The salt was given to her, a.d the next
day Washinetons table was suppl.

to have ones fallibility emphasized as

Tomorrow will be Thanksgiving day,
and II shOnld he observed, as far rs pos
sible. in an appropriate manner. The
custom is not only a pleasant one, but
Is one calculated To benefit US as va
cation. History has reeOnled the rise
and fall Of many empires, but each one
seems to have become more and more
corrupt, and more and more forgetful of
God until punishment was imperatively
necessary. Our own safety as a nation
depends upon our constant recognition
of the power and goodness Of the Al
mighty Father. We know that there
are scOffers who will deny this assertion,
but II is true, nevertheless.
Ingratitude, as between man and man
is All objectionable OfTense. How much
greater is that offense when there is in
gratitude OH the part of man for the
constant care and protection given him
by the Creator Of the universe If We
do not show gratitude for past favors
We surely are unworthy Of any in the
future.
No doubt some Of our readers will
ask themselves the question: "Wbat
have / for which to be thankful?' and
will then think over all the misfortune
and trouble experienced within the past
year, and perhaps some one may seri-
Ously conclude that he really has nc
cause for gratitude II there be one
such, he is mistaken. He ought Il
thank God that he Is not now in hell
lie might devote a day to trying to
think of the unremPmbered and unde
served blessings he has been permitted
TO enjoy in the past year; let him brood
over his worst misfortune, and thinl
how easily it might have been worse
In striking balance we will find thai
all Of us have enjoyed more good thar
we have endured evil.
Into each life some rain must fall"
AS a nation, as a state, and as indl
viduals we owe one day to publicly eX
pressing thanks for the thousands O
blessings We enjoy. We are a nation o
freemsD, and for this one blessing a da
would scarce sufice to pour ont on
thanks. While we place our trust il
Him, and show our gratitude and love
lie will shield us and provide for us
