Strong Drink and Its Evil influence q Hin
6rance TO the Elevation of Labor.

Mansur Hall was comfortably filed last night
by persons vino We're willing to contribute some
thing to the poor OF the city for the privilege of
hearing Terence V. Powderly and other mem
bsrs Of the General Assembly. X. Of L., talk.
The meeting was arranged by Father Bessonies,
and the proceeds will be distributed through the
Catholic benevolent societies Mr.. Powderly
fpoxe upon the subject Of temperance. He said
he selected it because it was one with which the
poor should be thoroughly acquainted. He be-
lieved that industrial and temperance reforms
went hand in hand. In bis work at the head Of
the knights of Labor be had visited some of the
large cities and had gone into the
ssor districts where the mean con-
ditions OF living were brought about by
intemperauce. Not only did drinking bring
men 10 poverty, but the kind of intoxicants they
drink had degraded them. The poor man could
only purchase the viless whisky or beer. and
then get drunk on the street, while the rich
could drink their champagne at home, and lock
themselves up in their palaces. my advice has
always been said be, steer clear of rum. To

The Philadelphia Record says: General
Master Workman Powderly, if reelected to his
present Office at the head Of the knights Of La
Dor. would be in the receipt OF a salary reduced
from 5000 to $500 per year. He has based
his acceptance of a reelection upon the contin-
eeney thai the General Assembly shall make
him its unanimous choice. IL he does vacate
the position, be will be in no want Of profitable
employment. He has received two offers of en-
gagement from the New York World. One is to

Care of Our Bodies.

Few owners Of fine horses do not spend
from hall an hour to an hour every day
in grooming them with comb and brush.
And they know tins care helps TO keep
them in fine condition Would not the
same, or even quarter Of all hour spent
daily in grooming, bathing and rubbing
the body, the limbs, joints and skin be OF
equal benefit: There are men who spend
from one to three hours every day doing
this, and they find it prevents cold, rlleu-
matism, sleeplessness and other physical
maladies, promotes health and prolongs
life. One man writes: "A few minutes
given every morning bathing, rubbing
and grooming the body is not a great
sacrifice of valuable time. Twice so
much is given graciously by many "A
thoughtful owner to the care OF horse
whose value may be only few hundred
dollars, yet many persons exclaim that
they have not time to spare for these
hyg;enic attentions to themselves and
their children. Herald Of Health.

The Economy of Cremation.

To the poorer classes cremation espe-
cially appeals, because it is more economi-
cal and less formal than burial. Ii
would be well for each state to try the OK
pertinent of cremating its dead paupers in
stead Of continuing to enlarge its Pot
ter's fields. Certainly cremation prac-
ticed under governmental auspices in
this way would demonstrate its practical
superiority. The more the subject is
pondered the deeper must grow the con
viction that cremation is the most ra-
tional and efficient means of modifying
the grim and ghastly victory OF death.
Graveyards, and the manner in which
our boosted civilization buries it, dead,
are responsible for most Of the superstl-
tons of mankind regarding spook5, COB
Inns and the whole retinue of supernatu-
raj abnormities. The rafting skeleton,
exhumed after years Of repose in the
grave, sets astir the dreadful fancies OF
the least susceptible witness. The Epoch.

A Creature Of Cicaniy Habits.

It Is interesting To note in many places
in this city small machine, scarcely

remember that these are but another

The motor and the light are brothers,

Glasses for the Near Sighted.

The near sighted child should wear
spectacles, because they are the best pre-
ventive against increase Of near sighted
ness, and also because he loses great
part of his education in not being able TO
see moro than few feet away. When
a person grows old the power OF accom-
moiation is lost, and even if he be not
near sighted, the hardening of the crys-
talline lens prevents sight at short dis
tances. Hence he is obliged to wear
glasses. The vast majority OF persons
who wear glasses can see as we'll with
out them. They use them to avoid a
constant strain on the eyes. The act OF
focalization is a muscular one, and uses
up nervous energy. The oversighted
eye, i'll which the focus comes behind
the retina, has to perform this muscular
act continually. The results are head
ache, irritability and nausea. The only
remedy in such cases is to wear glasses

Benefits Of Lung Exercise.

But the greatest benefits to be derived
from lung exercise are not in tho cases
of healthy individuals, but rather in
those whose vital capacity is below the
normal-who are hollow chested, stoop-
ing and feeble in their breathing. The
imperfect development Of their rcspira-
tory functions invites disease; their lungs
arc vulnerable. Proper exercise Will
throw off thi, debility and render them
less liable to disease. We may go even
a step further and say that in many cases
where lung diseases actually exist
breathing exercise is one Of the most
valuable elements in treatment. have
often been gratified with the way IN
which a consolidated lung in chronic
pneumonia of long standing and slow
progress would improve under proper
lung exercise. Indeed, in some OF these
cases it has seemed that properly iegu'
lated exercises have rendered greater
service than could be derived from Ordi-
nary drugs.-John L. Davis, A. B., n. D.

The Spirit of "A Tiger.

The dread of ghosts is common 10 all
aboriginal races of India, from which 1t
has been very generally adopted by their
Aryan conquerors, and even by the lower
classes of Mohammedans All ghosts
are believed to be mischieyous and some
of them bitterly malicious, and the only
means employed to oppose their rancor
is to build shrines for them, and 10 make
them offerings of fowl II pig, or, on
grand occasions, of a buffalo. Any severe
illness, and more especially any epidemic
disease. such as smallpox or cholera, Is
attributed TO the malignancy Of certain
OF these spirits, who must be propitlated'
accordingly.
The man tiger is. perhaps, the most
dreaded of all these demon ghosts: for
VIXEN u tiger has killed a man tho tiger Is
considered safe from harm, "a the spirit
of the man rides upon his head and guides
him clear of danger Accordingly, 1t Is
believed that the only sure mode Of de
stloying a tiger who has killed many PEG.
pie is to begin by making offerings to the
spirits of his victims, thereby depriying
him OF their valuable services. The
ghosts most propitiated are of those VINO
have met a violent or untlmeiy death,
whether by design or by accident, inclu-
ding poison aud disease. Even wretches
who are hanged for their crimes are be
lieved to have the same powers OF causing
evil TO the living as those who have been
killed by tigers or by lightning or by any
other violent cause. London Graphic
