NEw YORK City is in a fever Of excite
ment over the general tie-up of all its
street railway lines. The order was
given late last night and will go into eff
feet to-day. Grave fears are entertained
of the result. The wisdom of this move
ment has been very seriously questioned
by the men themselves on several of the
lines, and it is not likely that it will be
enforced without leading to dissensions
within the labor camp as well as with
out. In the former strike the sympa-
thes of the people were with the strik-
ers very generally. In this instance the
feeling is one Of fear and great uncer-

WERE there any conditions made with
the railroads that received land grants
from this State? Were these land grants
a free gift without stipulation and with
out consideration, or were there certain
obligations imposed upon the roads and
accepted by them? II so what were
they, and are these conditions met or
are they habitually violated? These
questions will have to be answered some
day. The people have begun to inquire
and when the sovereigns ask their SER
wants must sooner or later answer.

Nathan Allen, NJ. D., Ii. D., has given
many years Of study to physiological,
laws in their relation to great social
problems. He compares tile body to a
complicated machine, so thoroughly and
perfectly made that the friction comes
equally on every part, according to the
design in its construction. A change at
any one point destroys the balance, and
thus becomes the entering wedge Of dis.
ease. Hence, a perfect standard Of
health is where every organ is perfect
in structure and function.
Such a standard indicates the law Of
longevity, rs well MS the law of health.
Long life must depend on the harnoni.
GUS working Of a well-balanced organi.
cation. Hence, we find that the very
aged are remarkable for cvenness in their
mental, moral and social clements Of
character.
Hence. too, the classes specially de-
fcctiye in body and mind are notably
shortlived. Respiration, digestion, cir.
culation. assimilation and secretion must
be equally sustained. A failure at one
point diSturbs tho harmony Of the whole.
The same principle lies at the basis Of
the law Of lleredity. The long-lived Of
to-day have had l5ng-livcd ancestors,
from whom they have inherited we'll
balanced organs.-YouLh's Communion.
