like personal ferocity in the power
which had laid hold Of US, which l
have confessed to receiving from the
first and longest of the earthquake
shocks. It afterwards appeared that
everybody who was cool enough
closely to observe his own sensations
had experienced much tie same
thing. One Englishman, who ar
rived few days later from stricken
lIentone, and who seemed to cherish
fresh and tender recollections Of b S
school days, compared his feelings to
chose of e boy whom his master
seizes and shakes violently, by way of
prelude to a fogging. To another
occur e / the kindred image of the
terrier and the rat. A third, of more
pastoral proclivities, thought of

hand of one who would shake off all
its fruit. One and all had the sensa-
ton of being laid hold of by some
ruthless and monstrous individuality

Biloxi is long scrambling village:
built on ledge Of sandhi]ls between
the bay and quiet stretches OF pine
woods that roll back over Harrison
County.
The very place for invalids with
incipient throat troubles" Major
Pogue declared, enthusiastically.

straight from off the Gulf Of Mexico,
and the North wind sits all the heal
ing for them out Of these pine for

Biloxi is but little known as yet as
a Winter health resort. Oar tray

among the few houses that were
open: pile OF galleries il tiers about
a court into which coy little cham
bers opened, each with its CHEEKY fire
and canopied French bed. \ creole
family had it in charge. What they
lacked in English they made up in
gestures and good humor. The
house was full Of consumptive and
asthmatic patients from the Southern
States, with few from Chicago and
other points in the Northwest. The
average American meets even death
with good-humored sang froid. These
pale doomed folk made up fishing
parties every morning, and sailed
away, coughing and singing, to the
islands which lay like blots Of shadow
in the rolling fogs of bi]lowv silver
that filed the bay: they came back
coughing, chattering and joyous: in
the evening. Up out Of the red sun
set. with enormous loads OF fish,
which they displayed in the court
yard Of the inn, under the lamps
which hung in the huge live oaks,
while their wives and children and
the negroes gathered about them as
excited as if these were the first fish
ever hauled out of that water.
There was delightful disorder
and spontancity il the whole place.

HABITS OF LONG LIyERS.
As might be expected, the mar
ried people Of New England live
1onper than those selfish or unfor-
tunate ones who affect a life OF
single blessedness : that's the fate
or GOOD fortune of married people
everywhere. But the proportion
Of the one class to the other OF the
New Englanders who attain the
four score goal upsets all ordinary
reckonings. for the married ones
number no fewer than ninety-hve
in every hundred Of those on the
list If that fact be not sufficient
to give rousing impetus to the
worship Of Hymen, then must 1t
be concluded that the men and
women OF modern days are no
lonserin love with length OF years.
Another peculiarity revealed by
lIEr. Hulnnonds canvass, and 1t Is
pecuIiaritv, IS the fact that dark
"complected" people are not IN the
race for longevity with the Light
::complected,' for five out Of every
six OF the New England old folks
under review are blonde, with
blue or gray eyes, and abundant
brown hair.
As to the habits Of life of these
old folks the answers furnished to
Mr.. Hammond's inquiries all point
to the fact that longevity, save
when it is accompanied with reg
ularity of habit, is rare.
These old people, men and
women alike, are put downa as early
risers and retirers, almost with
out exception. and fully nineteen
out Of every twenty have observed
this custom throughout life, ex-
ce?t, perhaps, at some short Pc
riod in youth. Meals have been
eaten regularly, three each day,
with dinner at noon, the excep-
tinn being so rare as to indicate
nothing. Exercise in most cases

in cases Of sickness these old
people are as active and as fond

How to Satisfy Both Theories.

The MORNING NEWS yesterday published
some extracts from paper on yellow fever,
read before the Southern Medical Associa-
ton at Louisville a week or so ago by DR..
Holcombe of New Orleans. The doctor
stands high in his profession, and ought to
know great deal about the fever, as he has
treated more than a thousand cases of it.
He is inclined to believe that the best way
to protect a city against the fever is to keep
it clean, and that the fever can originate in
filthy cities in the south under favorable at
mospheric conditions.
There are physicians in this city who do
not believe in the Importation theory, but
whether the fever is imported or not, all
agree that the chances are against its
spreading in a clean city, if a case or two
should occur within its limits, whether
sporadic or imported.
If our authorities, therefore, make this a
clean city, those who believe in the importa-
ton theory and those who insist upon the
local origin theory will be satisfied.
There is only one thing necessary now to
make this clean city. 1t is system of
house drainage. The drainage from the
houses must be removed beyond the city
limits, and it must be done as soon as pos
sible When provision is made for this
no other city in this or any other country
will be better prepared to resist disease,
and no other one will be able to show bet
ter health record
