The season of the year IS here when the
body is subjected to many of the abuses
which actually invite disease, and ref
erence to few of the palmer rules
for the preservation of health in the
warm weather, given by the Philadelphia
Call, is of special interest. The first
essential preventive of disease is clean
illness of body and of the surroundings Of
dwellings. A good, nutritious dict and
regular habits of life are indispensable,
but temperance should be observed above
all other things. Too great care in the
avoidance of excuses of all kinds cannot
be exercised, and constant vigilance is
necessary to guard against the many
causes which ut this season of the year
have tendency to disturb the stomach
and internal org ans, thereby depressing
the nervons system and diminishing the
power of the body to resist disease. The
drinking of immoderate quantities of ice
water, and the keeping of the mind under
a constant strain should be especially
avoided. Continued excitement, whether
produced by business or otherwise, is o
dangerous thing, and an unrufflcd tenn
permanent should be cultivated. The
ventilation of dwelling houses, par.
ticularly of sleeping apartments and Of
cellars, is also of great importance. Ven
tilation is as great q purifier as water,
and never be afraid of little pure air.
People in their natural weakness are
prone to indulge in excesscs, and the
person who really appreciates good
health should ever keep before his mind
the value of temperance in all things.

Mahogany" "says the New York E

"Mahogany."say the New York Eren
ing Post, ''has become the leading and
fashionable furniture and cabinet wood
in this country, as it is now and has been
for two centuries in England and Europe.
1t is already largely used in house trim,
mings and doors in our large cities. 1t
is a wood which does not crack, warp,
swell, or shrink, and is famous for hold
ing glue. 1t improves with age in color
or tone, and therefore gets more bcauti-
full as it gets older, where Is other precious
woods look their best when new. So
great has the increase in the use of ma
hogany become in the past few years in
this country, that many manufacturers,
especially in the Western States, have
been making goods of cherry, birch, and
other cheap and inferior woods, and
staining them to initiate mahogany; but
these imitation goods very soon begin
to fade as we'll as to crack, warp, or
shrink, to the disgust of the purchaser.
Walnut IS very rapidly going out Of
fashion, and as this wood is now very
scarce, and getting more so every year,
its use is necessarily diminishing, and
mahogany is taking its place, as also of
rosewood. Mahogany should not be var
nished till it has grown dark to suit ones
taste, as varnish is said to stop the nat
ural coloring process"

A gentleman who has recently returned
from Eastern Oregon gives an account of
a rather singular procession he saw in
Umatilla county. 1t was an Indian fu-
neral procession. The defunct had been
set upon horse, and a stick had been
lashed along each side of his body, to
keepit in an upright position. The head
was not supported in any way, and as
the horse trotted along, the body seemed
bowing in every direction and the head
shaking in horribly grotesque manner.
The widow, dressed in her mournful
paint, trotted along behind on a lazy
mule, to which she kept vigorously ap-
plying the whip.

A missionary writing from Japan to
the New York Obserrer gives currency to
the report of Kioto paper that the
various Buddhist sccts have agreed to
Join their forces to combat the inroads OF
Christianity, and even to begin a cam
paign of aggression by sending mission
aries to America, England and France
to propagate their religion. Perhaps
they were encouraged, says the Obseroer's
correspondent, 10 attempt the conversion
of people in other lands by the recent
addition of two American professors to
the Buddhist ranks. Both are men OF
culture, and one is graduate of Harvard
University. The latter has been teacher
in the university at Toxic for some time,
and was always an avowcd inidel. The
other "a physician) is reported as having
said that his reasons for uniting with the
Buddhists were: 81. That as code of
morals he detected but little difference
between Buddhism and Christianity. 2.
Christianity is lacking in philosophy.
Buddhism is not. 3. Christianity is
opposed to science. Buddhism is not.
4. Buddhism teaches other things besides
the ordinary branches of learning, as
electro biology and occult sciences. And
5. Christianity has reached its zenith,
while the advance of Buddhism promises
to be perpetual. If such reasons were
honestly given, it is evident, says the cor
respondent, that their author knows little
of what he speaks; but it is intimated
that these two neophytes are simply TAX
the means of gaining information in re-
gard to the inner life and history which
is open to them now as it would not be

"Thcir average height is over five feet

ford, of California; Eustis, of Louisiana;

at least 600 pounds, while Palmer, of
Michigan; Jones, of Arkansas; George,
of Mississippi, and the doughty West, of
Missouri, have each about $50 pounds of
solid flesh in their anatomics. John
Sherman has not an ounce of fat, but his
bone. brain and muscle weigh about 1G0
pounds. Chace, of Rhode Island, the
Quaker, weighs $50, and John G. Spooncr
about 1875 pounds. John A. Logan has
grown fat lately. and he now weighs
about 1S0, while ingalls,, who sits back
of him, though he is six feet tall, willnot
weigh more than 140. It would take
twenty Mahones to make ton, and the
weight of these twenty would not
amount to as much as that of eight men

The following extraordinary story
comes from St. Georges Bay, on the west
coast of Newfoundland: A French YES.
sci put in there recently from St. Malo
bound to Port au Choix for the purpose
of landing Miss Louise Journeaux, who
was picked up at sea about twenty miles
off the Island of Jersey. The lady, with
a gentleman named Farne, went boating
one Sunday. While rowing her COM
panion let one oar slip, and in attempting
to recover it lost the other. Being a
good swimmer, he jumped overheard to
recover the oar. The wind, meantime,
was freshening, and there was strong
current setting from the land. The boat
fast driftcd beyond his reach, and he was
compelled either to swim for the land or
sink. Miss Journeaux, alone in the boat,
driftci to sea. The boat almost filled
with water, and for forty honrs she lived
in solitary agony. At length she was
rescued by the French vessel. The vio-
lent off-shore winds prevented the
Frenchman from reaching Jersey, and the
lady was carried across the Atlantic to
Newfoundland. Farne reached St. Hill
aires harbor safely, bit his story was
disbelieved. People from the shore af-
frmed that they heard cries Of murder
from sea. Farne was arrested and in
dicted for homicide. His liberation, of
course, followed, Miss Journeaux having
cabled her miraculous escape.
