Money Saved by Sanitation.

Medical men have long been familiar with
the fact that sanitation has been saving to
the community at large in doctors bills, in
nursing, and even in days of labor to the in
dustrial classes. But it has been difficult to
put results into figures so as to impress the
public mind. Mr.. Brudenell Carter at
tempted this in his inaugural address to the
College of State Medicine. Every case of
fever, he calculated, cost the community $40.
The reduction in the annual death rate from
fever to 4s4 per million from the 1851-6O rate
OF 9Oe per million represented a total saving
Of S1,5o0,0OO, 'but of this no one seemed
conscious while the annual cost of scarlet
fever at the present time was s2,O0o,OOO a
year. If, therefore, we could trace scarlet
fever to definite cause, as bovine disease
communicable by milk. we could adopt pre-
cautions which "would save the country
every year somewhere about half as much
money as the recent conversion OF stocks.
besides much misery" Here is new light
upon disease. It is increasingly preventi5le.

Tho backlog, Of Early Davs.

twill surprise many persons of the present

and on top was placed the ''back stick. = The
back stone in those primitive times played
very important part in the economy of early

S0ciable in Death.

There was weu-to-do Irishman up on
O'Fallon street, near Biddle market, in st,
Louis, who found himself about to pass
away. His name was Maloney. He sent for
his old friend O'Connor to come and make
his will. Everything was in readiness and
the dying man said: "Put down $500 for
masses up at St Laurence O'Toole's for the
repose Of me SOUL" The pen scratched awav.
and then Mr.. O'Connor said: .sWhat mkt.

Mr.. Maloney~ So the work went on
solemnly and slowly, the dying man
bringing himself up with an effort to the
task, and Mr.. O'Connor stopping now and
then to draw his finger across his nose and
sniff sympathetically. Finally the dying
man said family: ~ think that's all have to

at the balance in the little old bank book and
said: No, Mr.. Maloney, there's tin dollars

for few moments, and then said: Cocoon
nor, put down that tin dollars to spend with
the byes at me funeral" Mr.. O'Connor be-
gan to write; then he stopped, looked toward
the bed with puzzled expression, and asked
softly: ''Mr. Maloney, shall put it down to
spind going to the funeral or comm back
from tt?" The dying man lay very quiet for
a few moments, as he studied the problem,
and then with an effort replied: "O'Connor,

A New York CITY Crook.

city are the most unprogressive robbers in
the country, for they try to work strangers

My associate is young and has western
look, facts which the dull Drained Gotham
crook took aeevidences Of verdancy. When
the St Louis railroad lawyer entered New

thence to the Metropolitan hotel, where he
put up.

dinner, well dressed fellow approached

the crook "I'l come up to the Metropoli-

their light travelling mattresses for this pur-

complain of the slight additional weight, but
not often. A small amount of baggage 70

pant twenty miles it is hard to imagine. The
chair itself often weighs as much as forty
pounds, and one may presume that the aver

the latter is doubtless very frequently ex-
