WALKING FOR HEALTHY.
An Exercise Which Is Nerve Tonic and
Appetizer Both in One.

An Exercise Which Is Nerve Tonic and
Appetizer Both in One.
Few people who have not tried the
experiment know how much health
there is in walking. tits nerve tonic,
an appetizer and a general system in
vigorator all in one. When the weather
is too tickle too discard winter wraps,
and when occasional warm half-hours
suggest seersuckers and white hats,
"dead-and-a feeling" is apt to re-
suit, which may not be a disease, but
but which is very akin to illness.
Spring bitters' and old-fashioned
sulphur and molasSes' are time-hon-
ored remedies, but the best cure Of all
is exercise, taken regularly and in
doses sufficient to effect cure. To q
majority of people engaged in active
business walking is the handiest exer-
else procurable. The man who walks
to and from his office or store not only
gets up an appetite and circulation,
but he wards off congestion and pneu-
monia, and if he is of an observing
buIH VI HllHu nc sllSO SCCo many luCl-
dents and traits of character which will
both amuse and instruct him.
Writing about the benefit to be gained
from walking, an eminent London
physician says: Until | took up walk
ing to and from my Office | was u
hollow-chested, dyspeptic man, weigh
ing about 12j pounds, very nervous and
very dissatisfied with myself and the
world in general. As soon as begun
to walk regularly a change for the bet
ter was noticed. | now weigh 100
pounds. sleep well and have perfect
digestion, all of which l credit TO pedes-
trianism, These were the benefits
sought, but they were not all gained.
| am an old resident of London, and
naturally | know great many of its
citizens by sight. l soon discovered
that some of the wealthicst and most
successful men ! knew were regular
pedestrians. / also observed that tho
men who had themselves won great
success were the fastest walkers, pass
ing by their fellow pedestrians in their
walks to this city. now lay it down
as an axiom that the man who outstrip5
his competitors in walking on the
streets will also win in whatever BUSH
ness he undertakes. "-SBoSton Globe.

Printers Exempt from Cholera.

The printers have been exceptionally
exempt from falling victims to the.
cholera epidemics which have recently
occurred in the South American con-
tinent. When the yellow fever epi-
demic in 1868 created CONSERVATION
here the Typographical Union had only
to pay the expenses for two members,
and both of them recovered. Now to-
day the same incident is recorded in
Chilli with respect to cholera, where we
find that, according to the report of the
president of the Typographical Union
of Valparaiso, up to the date of his
last report, not one of the one hundred
members of the Union had been at
tackled. Thus they enjoyed the same
good fortune they had experienced
during the previous year. Lima (PeraJ

WINTER CLOTHING.
Comprehensive Directions for p utting 1t
AWAY for Summer

Comprehensive Directions for Putting 1t
Away for Summer.
Where the house is rOOmy, and the
CLOSETS so arranged that they may be
aired frequently, it is very easy mat
ter to keep the winter clothing free
from the depredations of moths. But
if this is not the case, the next best
thing is to know how to put the clothes
away properly.
All clothing before being placed
away should be aired thoroughly.
Hang out in the air all coats, dresses,
furs. etc, whip free of dust, turn all
the pockets inside out, brush with q
corn brush broom, and let hang in
the air an hour or two. If there is
brisk wind blowing, ali the better,
and in this case less time is required
to air them. When sufficiently aired
take in. Have made some lit
tie muslin bags, into each one
If which puta small piece of cam
phor. Place one of these bags into
each coat or dress pocket Turn each
dress skirt inside out, fold neatly,
place a newspaper between each one,
and do all up in strong newspaper
pasting it so as not to leave the small
est crevice by which moth could en-
ter
Coats should be folded longthwise,
but never across, and done up the
same as the dresses. Furs should be
placed in their boxes, a camphor bag
put in with them, the boxes done up
in newspaper, and the ends fastened
with paste. If no boxes are conven-
lent, then simply put the camphor bag
inside the mutf, and wrap the set in
newspaper fastened as above. News
paper is much better than wrapping
paper for this work, as moths abhor
printers ink. Some use cloth for this
purpose, making cotton bags especial
" for it, but cloth is not as good as
the paper. Felt hats and bonnets,
bits of plush, velvet etc. should be
put in box, into which put a cam
phor bag, and do up securely in news
paper.
Have ready the shelves, drawers or
boxes in which the clothing is to be
placed. If shelves. cover with news
paper, place the bundles as neatly as
convenient in them, and cover all with
newspaper Line drawers in the same
way, cover with newspaper, tucking it
in all around. Where u person can
afford it, n cedar chest is the best re-
ceptacle for winter clothes, requires
no camphor, and will last n lifetime.
Cedar chips are excellent to scatter
among clothes; they give them pleas
ant odor, and are very obnoxious to
moths. When placing the clothing
away in boxes or trunks, line the in
sides with newspaper, FASTING it firmly
to the wood, pack the bundles in care
fully, and cover with newspaper, tuck
ing it in around the edges. Bitter APP
pies are said to be a sure preventive
for moths. They can be bought at the
chemist put in muslin bags and
placed in chests, drawers, etc. and
moths will not trouble any article in
these places. A tallow candle wrap
ped in brown paper, aud placed
among the clothes that are laid away
for any length of time, will keep the
moths at distance. This is an old
fashioned remedy. but good one. -

As feed for young chicks, boiled rice
and oatmeal are very good; but as they
are sticky it is best to stir in dry corn
meal or some other dry meal, to make it
easier to eat. All soft food for chicks
should be SO dry as to crumble when
dropped. Soft, watery messes should
be avoided Feed chicks when young
four times day, and as soon as they
can run around well feeding coop of
laths on three sides, the fourth one
being of boards, should be placed on
each spot where there are several coops
Of chicks. The spaces between the
laths should be large enough to admit
the chicks only. Turn the boarded
side to the south, to keep the sun off
the food, which should be placed inside,
SO that the chicks can get it when they
please. This should be cracked corn
orwheat; the wheat is much the better,
but only enough of all should be given,
as they will eat up clean each time

over it, the newspapers are full of 1t.
and the discussion has even been car
RED into the pulpit. A meeting of
school teachers has been held TO dis
cuss the subject, and a most spirited
debate was INDUCED in. Some of the
teacher J., who were probably boys once
in their time, held that marble Playing
was game of skill, and that its ten
dency was in the direction OF teaching
boy TO win his way in life by his indi-
vidual efforts; others argued that 1t
was game Of chance. and therefore
it's influence was pernicious on the
youthful mind. The boys. when called
ably expressed themselves as regarding
it as part of common school educa-
ton, and as essential to their physical
and moral well being. At latest &C
cunts the question was still all-ab-
)rbing, ard there was little prospect
of decision Being arrived at. 1t is
pleasing in these piping times to know
that the American mind can tcrn from
the great questions of State and the

WAGES AND PROJECTION.

It is the favorite argument of the pro-
tectionist that high tariff makes wages
high. He shouts this into the ears of
the laborer and now and then trots out
table of wages paid in different coun-
tries to prove that workmen in "pro-
tected" America receive more than do
their fellows abroad. He assumes that
these tables clinch the argument, and
expects the worker to accept them as
C oRclusive evidence that il is better for
the laborer and for the country to have
a high tsritf-the higher the better. He
does not like the fact known that these
comparisons are, illudory and mislead-
ing, and the deductions from them
wong, because the conditions and cir
cufnstances are unlike in the different
countries. If the markets, the cspa-
biIities of the laberer, the tools, imple-
ments and machines employed, and the
intelligence of the workmen were the
same, the tables of wages which We so
often see spread out as arguments in
favor of Americas protection would
be plausible; but all the circum-
stances and conditions are dissimilar,
those of no two countries being alike
hence the worthlessness Of tie deduc-
tons drawn from the comparison of day
wages in different countries. Consul
Schoenhof's report to the Department
of State, on Technical Education in
Europe" makes plain the unreliability
of the wage tables so much exhibited
by protective politicians.
He shows that in Swift 2rland weavers
of cotton cloth receive from A to 4S
cents per day; in Germany 48 cents; in
France from 50 to So cents, for twelve
hour,' work; in England the pay is 65
cents for uine working hours, and in
America SIS cents for ten working hours.
It is held that with the higher wages
paid here, it would be impossible for
America to compete with other coun-
tries, were it not for the protection
afforded by the high tariff. This would
be true if all the conditions were equal.
But as matter of fact, the higher the
wages the cheaper the product. In
Germany and Switzerland, the labor cost
of weaving 100 yards of cotton cloth is
60 cents, IL England IS cents and in the
United States 90 cents. The labor which
costs most per day, costs least per unit
of product, as will be seen by the follow
ing: In France, Germany and Switzer
land, an expert weaver operates two
or three looms, while in America he
operates six or eight. There is fac
tory in Lowell, Massachusetts,, en-
ploying 306 weavers; of these, 229
operate six looms, forty-three
seven looms, twenty, eight looms
and only eleven as low as FIVE looms
The weekly product of the American
weaver is from 1,2O0 to 1900 yards OIL
print cloth, while the English weaver
produces only 709 yards. The Massa.
chusetts spinuers receive IS cents fol
100 pounds of Gotten yarn, and the
English spinner gets 50 cents. though

Medical Lecture.

DR.. Harrison, who is associated pro-
fessionally with Mrs. DR.. Potts, addressed
large audience of men only at the Sixth
street NJ. E. Church last evening The
Doctor has spent the last five years in
Europe, visiting the principal hospitals,
lecturing in the larger provincial towns and
delivering several courses of lectures in
London. The Doctor argued that the
present deplorable physical condition of the
human family might be due to centuries of
improper living. He contended that minis
tiers OF the gospel neglect one of their most
important duties in not teaching the prin-
ciples of ply siology to the young men. He
said the question of social purity was vital
one, one reaching to and having its founda-
ton in the prenatal condition of man. The
brutality of the father or the indiscretion of
the mother often planted the seeds of MUIR
der and social crime in the mind of the un-
born child. The general diffusion of
physiological knowledge would in time de-
populate our jails. He commended that
morality and good health are so closely
allied as to be almost Synonymous. He
said the art of medicine is developing so
rapidly that it will soon become science,
when he contended we would recognize
and punish the hereditary transmission of
disease as a crime. Within TWENTY-FIVE
years it will be as disgraceful to have
typhoid, bilious and other like fevers as it is
now to be afflicted with scabs or common
itch. Tomorrow night DIR. Harrison will
deliver his last and best lecture to men.
This afternoon Mrs. DIR. Potts will lecture
to women only, and tonight to a mixed
audience.

THOSE SCHOOL BOOKS.
No Fault to be Found With the Preser
Administration.

-'NN II " Dc WIN AAc LTtscAs
Administration.
Some days ago the San Francisco press
published statements from Superintendent
Anderson. that the school books furnished
by the State were so poorly bound that in
some instances they fell to pieces. A re-
porter of the RECORD UNION called upon
the State Printer and ascertained that the
books complained of were a lot of first
and second readers. the first made under
former administration. They were put
up for cheap book. were not sewed suffi-
GENTLY, and will not stand very rough
usage. The books now being made are
the equal of any manufactured IN America
OF the old books, 1000 first readers and
1900 spoilers are still on hand. Their
binding is inferior. Those now being
made are sewed three times, instead of
twice, and have strong backs and covers.
The San Francisco Altd of yesterday
says:
Considerable publicity has been given
of late to complains about the binding of
some of the school books turned out by
the State Printing Office. A committee
from the Bookbinders' Association waited
upon Superintendent Anderson yesterday
and presented the following resolutions,
and produced some specimens of bindings
tina; are now being done at the State bind
cry, which were pronounced satisfactory in
every respect. Superintendent Anderson
was well pleased with the manner in which
the work was executed, and assured the
committee that a fair opportunity would
be afforded TO yindicate the character OF
the work.
The resolutions referred to were adopted
by the Bookbinders' Protective and Bene-
hcial Association Monday evening last, and
are as follows:
WHEREAS, Certain complaints have been re-
Gently made and published concerning the frail
and unsubstantial manner in which certain
State school textbooks have been bound; and.
further, that we, the members of the Bookbind-
ers Association, feeling that said complaints
coucern US as b5okbinders, and considering our
selves competent experts have inves igated the
said complaints, and find the following facts:
That number of the books complained
of and now in use in several counties of this
State, were manufactured prior to the appoint
ment OF Captain D. Young, the present Super
foreman OF the Bindery Department and their
defects were not the fault of the binders or
binding, but of the inferior quality of stock
used. such as twine thread, glue, etc.
Seeond-That since the appointment of the
aboVe-named gentlemen more care has been
taken, and better stock used, in the manufact-
ure of said books.
Third-Thst none of the 125,000 school text
books manufactured since the appointment of
the aforesaid gentlemen have been distributed
excepting small number of Primary Lessons
and the same have not been complained of
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Bookbind-
ers Association be instructed to forward copy
OF the above to the office of each of the daily
papers in the city for publication. and to ]. W.

Splendid Improvement.

Messrs. Mohr & york have purchased
the lot on the northwest corner of Eleventh
and K streets, and intend erecting at once
q three-story brick building, to be used as
a meat-packing house. The lot is so by
100 feet, and the building win be both sub
stantial and ornamental. The business of
this firm has increased so much of late
that they find it impossible to get along
with their present accommodations on J
street, between Tenth and Eleventh. The
new building, fronting on K street, will
join their present quarters in the rear, and
both places will be used in their business
in the future.
Messrs. Mohr & york commenced bust
ness in this city in 1862, and by years of
attention to it have built up an immense
trade, which now gives employment to a
large number of employees. When the new
building is completed and the packing sea-
son opens, it is expected that at least fifty
men will be employed. They now have
an ice machine with a capacity of three
tons per day, and are talking of putting in
one with a capacity of twenty-five tons
day.
The plans for the building are not yet
completed, but it is intended to push for
ward the work as rapidly as possible.
