Inviting settlement in South Africa.


Mr.. Arnold White recently read a pa
per at a meeting in the conference-room
at the Colonial and Indian exhibition on
South Africa as a Field for the Emigra-
ton of the Agricultural Classes" in
which he asserted that no part of the
British dominions offered a more eligible
and immediate prospect to the immi-
grant than South Africa. 1t had a good
climate; the health of Africanders was
proverbially good; Cape Colony was
easily accessible; all the vegetable pro-
ducts of Europe and of the sub-tropical
zone grew luxuriantly, and large supplies
might be sent to European markets.
On the other side was the drawback Of
the want of water, and the only method
of remedying this was by an extended
system of irrigation. The great staple Of
cultivation should be tobacco rather than
cereals. The produce of three acres
would realize 80 pounds sterling, and
with the farm produce which he could
raise every immigrant should be able to
live in comfort. Immigrants should be
agricultural laborers or small farmers.
The Hon. C. Van L. der Byl. member of
the legislative council, Cape of Good
Hope, bore testimony to the accuracy of
Mr.. Whites statements, and said the Cape
Colony was admirably suited for agri-
cultural immigrants. -Chicago Times.

A great deal of alarm is felt when
cholera, smallpox, typhus fever, or
other epidemic diseases are prevalent.
Yet over large areas of our country there
are more people killed by diseases of the
respiratory organs than by all the more
active diseases combined. Consumption
destroys more lives per thousand of the
population than any other one disease,
and pneumonia is next to it. The former
makes away with ninety-one in a thou
sand, and pneumonia sixty-three. Class
ing together consumption, pneumonia,
heart-disease, and bronchitis, the fatality
of this group of allied disorders is 191 in
a thousand. OF course, the proportion is
much greater along the ~seacoast, the
river bottoms, and in damp, low-lying
localities, while in high dry regions,
diseases of the respiratory organs are in
frequent.
Experiments are now under way to
test the virtues of rooms, the air in
which is manipulated to make it cores
pond to the conditions that exist in
mountainous regions-that is the air is
rarified so that there is less pressure On
the breathing apparatus. 1t is believed
that by sanitary and mechanical meas
ures, the dreadful mortality and suffer-
ing now caused by this class of dis
orders will be alleviated, and tens Of
thousands of valuable lives prolonged

The Roman soldiers, who built such
wonderful roads and carried a weight of
armor and luggage that would crush the
average farm hand, lived on coarse
brown bread and soul wine. They were
temperate in diet, and regular and con-
slant in exercise. The Spanish peasant
works every day and dances half the
night, yet eats only his black bread,
onion and watermelon. The Smyrna
porter eats only a little fruit and some
olives. He eats no beef, pork or mutton,
yet he walks off with his load of 800
pounds. The coolie, fed on rice, is mort
active and can endure more than the ne
gro fed on fat meat. The heavy work Of
the world is not done by men who eat
the greatest quantity. The fastest or
longest-winded horse is not the biggest
eater. Moderation in diet seems to be
the prerequisite of endurance.-Detroit

A LITTLE SUFFERER
Ci,ansed, Purified and Beautifed by the
Cuticura Remedies.

1t affords me pleasure to give you this
report of the cure Of our little grandchild
by your Cuticura Remedies. When SIX
months old his left hand began to swell
and had every appearance Of a large boil.
We poulticed it, but all to no purpose.
About five months after it became a run
ming sore. Soon other sores formed. He
then had two of them on each hand, and
as his blood became more and more i'm
pure 1t took less time for them to break
out. A sore came on the chin, beneath
the under lip, which was very offensive.
His head was one solid scab discharging a
great deal. This was his condition at -
months old, when | undertook the care of
him, his mother having died when he was
a little more than a year old, of consump-
ton (scrofula, of %coursc). He could walk
a little, but could not get up if he fell
down, and could not move when in bed,
having no use in his hands. | immedia-
tely commenced with the Cuticara Rene
dies, using the Cutcura and Cuticura
Soap freely, and when he had taken one
bottle of the Cuticura Resolvent his head
was completely cured, and he was improv-
ed in every way. We were very much
encouraged, and continued the use OF the
Remedies Tor a year and a half. One sore
after another healed, a bony matter form
ing in each one Of these five deep ones
just before healing, which would finally
grow loose and were taken out; then they
would heal rapidly. One of these ugly
bone formations | preserved. After taking
a dozen and a half bottles he was compile
tely cured, and is now at the age of 6
years a strong and healthy child. The
scars on his hands must always remain;
his hands are strong, though we once
feared he would never be able to use
them. All that physicians did Tor him did
him no good. All who saw the child before
using the Cuticura Remedies and see the
child now consider il a wonderful cure. If
the above facts are Of any use to you. you
are at liberty to use them. Mrs. Il. s..
briggs, 6l2 Clay St, Bloomington, I'll.

The child was really in a worse condi-
ton than he appeared to his grandmother,
who being with him ever day became ac-
customed to the disease. Maggie Hopping

A discovery of great antiquarian in
terest was made in Aberdeen, Scotland,
not long since by a number of laborers
excavating in Ross court, one of the old
est parts of the city. Three feet under
the surface the laborers came upon a
large bronze urn filled to the brim with
silver money. The number of coins was
about 10, 900, and they are in excellent
preservation. They are all English
money of the reigns of Edward l. and
Edward H., and are supposed by anti
quaries to have been part of the booty
secured during one of the raids into
England during the thirteenth century.

Wholesale eif-Destructlon of Animals.

Man is not the only animal that ON
mits suicide. Herrings and other fish
have sought death by rushing ashore in
myriads; regiments of ants, by deliber-
ately marching into streams; swarms of
rats, by migrating into the face of their
deadly foes, and even butterflies, by
flying in immense clouds straight out to
sea. 1t would be interesting to learn the
causes of the apparent wholesale and
deliberate elf-destruction. Is the act a
purely conscious one, or are the crea-
lures victims of disease-mental or
