Use Of Roof. as DormItories.

One Of the features of life in the tene-
ment districts in hot weather has long
been the use Of the roofs as dormitories.
The practice has extended TO the French
lat district. The tenants of many Of
:hese buildings turn their roofs into
moonlight picnic grounds and eat, drink
and make merry under the stars as gaily
As II they were miles away from town.
They sling hammocks between the posts
% which the clothes-lines are strung and
make couches against the chimneys The
pet pug and the toy terrier chase the cats
and Irritation goes on right merrily amid
he twinkle Of cigarettes and the popping
of champagne corks. A now extinct mag
lzine once published an essay on what to
10 with our roofs. suggesting their CON
version into gardens, that the tenants
5ould enjoy life out of doors without GO
ing TO the country for it. The gardens
have not been laid out yet. but now that
he charms Of the roof have been discov-
cred 1t Is not unlikely that some builder
will take the idea up. The big Chelsea
iats in Twenty-third street have. by the
way, play ground for the children of the
louse up where the windows of the twen-
ty-fifth story look out among the clouds

The Rev. Mason p. Presley of Phila-
ielphia says that the custom Of clergymen
IN taking long summer vacations has be.
come not only an abuse but a scandal He
said in recent sermon: at seems strange
that ministers of religion are alone those
who insist on this annual vacation. The
doctor does not take a vacation, as a rule,
because he is loyal to the sick and the dy-
ing; neither, as a rule, does the lawyer.
Editors do not go away in the summer, or,
If they do, they leave behind them the
brain work that controls the mighty arm
OF civilization-the press. If the doctors
and editors left there would be no one to
cure the sick or minister to the needs of
our intellectual life; and If the reporter
loyal to the public and to his duty-re-
mains and plods about in storm and rain
and in snow and In heat, how much more
reason is there that those men who pro-
less to be Gods people and the embodi-
ment of everything good, should walk
about in our midst, in this season of evil.
and carry out the work for which they
were ordained. New York Sun.

What watterson Says of Engiishmen.

The average Englishman is a snob.
From the duke to the costermonger, each
order in this vast series OF social strata
ticks the foot of the order above it. The
English male is a selfish bully. The Eng
lish woman is slave. The warp and
woof of English society is sham. But,
while the purse holds out, it is resplendent
indeed The bully in the men makes
good soldiers. The power of England is
undeniable. The slave In the woman,
when she does not elope, makes excellent
housewifery. The domestic fabric of Eng
land is respectable and orderly. But the
church, the state, and the home, built
upon complex feudal system, depend
upon the poise and balance of classes in
the relation which now exists, and which,
with tririing incidents not seriously dis
turbing the personal life of England, has
existed since Magma Charta-

DIR. Burggraeve, a learned professor of the
University Of Ghent, has Just published re-
markable work in which he entleavors to
prove that anybody who will take the trouble
to follow his instructions may become a CEN
tenarlan. His system is merely a system of
renovation, and is simplicity itself. The
great panacea for all ills which he processes
to have discovered is salt, the rational use Of
which, he says, is a sure preserver of life. He
aftirms that good health is not a matter Of
chance or constitution. The laws which regu-
late human life are calm and regular phe-
nomena, and all we have TO do is 10 take care
that they shall develop themselves without
obstruction According to his theory, salt is
the great regulating agent. II the blood be
too rich, salt will clarity it; if the blood he
too poor, salt will strengthen and furnish it
with the necessary elements.
DR. Burggraeve quotes several examples in
support OF the sovereign virtue which he at
tributes TO salt Formerly, in Holland, the
greatest punishment which existed for Offend
ing soldiers was to give them unsalted bread.
After few months of this regimen the culprits
almost invariably died. In Saxony. at the
end of the last century, a terrible epidemic
reigned solely through the want Of salt The
Dutch savant furthermore assures us that salt
is an infallible cure for consumption and
cholera The Russian peasants once saved
themselves from plague by putting salt in
their milk He estimates that the quantity
OF salt which every adult in ordinary health
should consume daily is two-thiris of an
ounce. In conclusion, he asserts that il the
world would only take to salt, centenarians
would become almost as common as new born
babes.-Chicago Times

delighted with the military spectacle at

breast of armor of the cuiraSsiers. He showed
his pleasure by clapping his hands and by
verbal exClamations, the exact meaning of
which was known only to his interpreter.
The general commanding the calvary divis-
ion, on seeing how much the polished breast
plates dazzled the prince ordered cuirass to
be given TO him. Prince karamOkO dOnned il
on the spot, but in the midst of his joy his face
suddenly lost its pleased look. What's the
matter with him" asked the general, who saw
tears start from his eyes. The interpreter in
