whats the Numbere- ,O42 Telephones
in Grand Rapids.

The growth of the telephone service since
its organization in 1879 is something pro-
digious. There are now 625 miles of tele-
phone wire stretched in this city connect
ing with the central Office, 1912 telephones
and 100 towns and cities in the surround
ind country. The annual report Of the Tel
ephone Company throughout the United
States is accountable for the statement that
Grand RaDids has tbs greatest number Of
telephones IN active use of any city in the
world of the same population. The aver
age Is a telephone TO every seventy persons.
In 1856 the increase over the preceding year
OF telephones IN use was ID per cent, and
for the first two months in 1888 over sixty
telephones were pnt in for new subscribers.
This ore fact serves To demonstrate that
Grand Rapids is not retr0gressive, but de-
cidedly and eminently progressive.

Influence OF Valleys on Health.

Mr.. Alfred Haviland lately informed
the London Social Science Association
that many diseases were induced by the
common tendency to place houses in
valleys instead of on hillsides. He says
that valleys do not get full share of
fresh air. The wind blows over, not
through them, and the atmosphere
within their boundaries is compare
lively stagnant. His observations are
therefore opposed to the common be-
lief that valleys Ire especial channels
for atmospheric movements; but his
opinions are sustained by DR.. B. w.
Richardson, who is good authority.
The latter gentleman enumerated
twenty-five or thirty diseases which he
thought might be attributed to the pro-
pensity for valley homes. Among them
are Group, influenza, scrofula, rheuma-
tism, fstula, calculus, and possibly
some malformations. The list is form
liable, and to put it mildly, it is almost
Incredible that diseases of this char
acter can be caused by living in the
broad and shallow valleys of England.
Mr.. Haviland's remarks were illustrated
by maps and models showing the geo.
logical structure of the earth. THE

There are very few men who do not
pride themselves on always having the
correct time; and wonderful and delicate
mechanisms are devised to enable them to
do so. But the more delicate chronome-
ter is made, the more subject it becomes to
arrangement, and unless it be kept always
perfectly clean, it soon loses its usefulness.
What wonder, then, that the human ma
chinese much more delicate and intricate
than any work of Man-should require to
be kept thoroughly cleansed. The liver is
the handspring of this complex structure,
and on the impurities left in the blood by q
disordered liver, depend most of the ills that
the flesh is heir to. Even consumption
(Which is lung-scrofula), is traceable to the
imperfect action of this organ. Kidney dis
eases, skin diseases, sick headache, heart
disease, dropsy, and long catalogue of
grave maladies have their origin in torpid
or sluggish liver. DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery, by establishing a healthy,
normal action of the liver, acts IS cure and
preventive of these diseases.

SENATOR ZACH CHANDLER was mor-
dinately fond of poker, which he pre-
ferred to play in the basement OF his
residence on 81 street, Washington,
now occupied by Mrs. Rhines. He was
usually disposed to crowd the game,
but became very angry when checked
or beaten. Gen. Grant frequently
played at Senator Chandlers, particu-
larly after he ceased to be President,
and remained in and about Washing
ton for some months. His guests were
invariably public men, colleagues OF
the Senate and House, and sometimes
considerable sums were lost and won.
On one occasion q Southern Senator,
who knew little or nothing about the
game of poker, but was literally ava
launched with luck in the draw,
walked away with several thousand dol
lars, the major part having been won
from Chandler. Old Zach tried to win
this money back on various sittings,
but the Southern Senator was always
too lucky. Finally the Michigan
statesman barred him out, saying that
he could not afford to play poker
against miracles of asinine fool luck.
