SANITARY CARELEssNEss.

1t is announced that over twenty thou
sand deaths have occurred from cholera in
Corea and that this startling total was
reached because the superstitious natives
regarded the plague as a divine visitation
and refused all medical assistance. While
this fearful mortality calls attention to the
fact that there is as crying need for medi-
cal as spiritual missionaries in the far East.
it is by no means certain that care
lessness is not also responsible in
this country for a great deal of the
annual mortality. The prevalence of chol-
era and feyers in different portions of other
countries with which this country has
commercial relations, should incite us to
the utmost vigilance concerning any posi-
bility of the importation of any of these
Scourges. And while that matter can be
safely left to municipal supervision. there is
increased necessity for individual careful
ness, particularly at this time of the year.
With days of excessive heat and nights of
treacherous GOODNESS there is consequent
tendency to expose ones self heedlessly to
the allurements of the latter and uncon-
SclouSly Tie injury Is uOne. lHor6 is, TOO,
disposition to make light of bodily all
ments, which is said to be characteristic
of the American nation, and dlsinclina-
ton to accept medical aid in what are ap-
parently slight ailments. No sickness.
however trifiing, can with impunity be neg
lected, and the only way to avoid the dele
FERROUS effects of alternating heat and cold
peculiar to this season, is through personal
vigilance assisted by medical skill.

MIDST THE MADDING THRONG.

''This looks suspicious! exclaimed Mrs
Suspicion, directing attention to long,
golden hair which she had discovered on the
shoulder of her husband coat. She took it
up carefully and, twining it about her finger
examined it carefully.
''Sure it amt yours, my dear?' he said.
''You know your hair has a golden tinge in
the sunlight"
my hair is black" responded the wife in
amanner that indicated too plainly that fat
terry would not quiet her. This is yellow
red may say, Now how did It get on your
coat? That's what I'd like to know"
"Oh," responded he, II forgot to tell you
of a little episode that occurred to-day. AS l
was coming along the street heard the cry
of fire, and, looking up, discovered several
females looking out the window of the fifth
story and appealing for assistance 1 went
up the fire escape aud soon had all the girls
safely down on the sidewalk. One of them
must have been red-headed.'
"The evening paper did not have line
about a fire." said she.
"Of course not" continued he. 1.-THE fire
did not amount to anything. I went around
to the office and asked that my name be left
out, in fact demanded that no mention of the
affair be made, and actually threatened to
stop my subscription if any publicity was
given to my conduct. The reporter had me
written up as hero, and knew you would
not like to see me in print as saving anyone
but you so kept it out of print. By the way,
saw very pretty sealskin sacque down
town to-day that I halfway ordered for you.
I wish you would go down tomorrow and see
how you like it,

pie here nowadays?''

A GOOD BEGINNING

The faint hearted never wear the crowns
of victory. The lodging, temporizing
policy pursued by the Minnesota Republi-
cans this year indicates that the leaders lack
confidence in their ability to hold the state
in line. In contrast with this the bold az
gressive attitude of the Minnesota Dem
ocrats exhibits confidence in their ability
to succeed which is of itself the winning of
half the battle. The action of the Dem
ocratic executive committee in calling the
state convention in advance of the Repub-
iican state convention has had the effect of
stimulating the Democracy all over the
state and has had correspondingly de-
pressing effect on the Republicans. The
second Democratic move on the political
chess board was as sagacious as the first.
The nomination of Judge THOMAS WILSON
for congress in the First district
will be worth several thousand votes to the
Democratic state ticket. If the Democrats
throughout the state continue to exhibit the
same wisdom that has been displayed by
the party in the beginning, the only ques-
ton about Democratic victory in Novem-
Der will be the question of the party's ma
jority.

DEPARTMENT SHOOTING.

The range rifle. shooting now being car
ried Oh at Ft. Smelling by contestants rep
resenting nearly every regiment in the de-
partment of Dakota. is not such a common
place affair as it might appear to the casual
observer. The system of rifle practice
which obtains in the United States army
has given it an effectiveness which troops of
no other country have equalled. This sys-
TEN, too. is the growth of recent years, and
has only been brought to its present perfec-
ton by continued and painstaking labor. In
asnluch as the essential reason for the exist
ence of an army is to be found in its
craftsmanship capacity, anything which
may increase the ability to shoot effect
lively deserves commentator. Such is the
object of the present target shooting. 1t is
conducted throughout the year at the diff
ferent posts by contestants from the various
companies, and the superior marksmen
thus chosen are annually sent to headquar-
tiers to engage in final match. The system,
therefore, encourages throughout the army
spirit of healthy rivalry, which has already
done wonders in increasing its effective
ness. Hundreds of officers and men,
through the constant practice which these
contests entail, have become competent for
the grade of ''marksmen," while many
others have qualified for the higher grade
of 'sharpshooters. The competition
being open to all. and involving, in case Of
success, pleasant trip to headquarters.
with leave of absence afterwards, is very
generally engaged in, and, in consequence.
the improvement in craftsmanship has be-
come general. Should the present army
ever be called into action it would show a
very different state of things from
the hap-hazard and Intellectual firing
which formerly characterized it. 1t
is even stated that had target practice been
general before Clusters fatal Indian cam
paign the result of his hopeless fight on the
Little Big Horn would have been different
However that may be, there is no doubt
that the range shooting is an excellent
thing and. i'll time of peace, the only pos
sible means of rendering the infantry arm
