SO weak and exhausted is because your

sanitary condition OF city to be per-
feet with defiled water and defective
sewerage, as to expect such a compli-
Gated piece of mechanism as the human
frame to be in good order with impure
blood circulating even 10 its minutest
veins. Do you know that every drop
of your two or three gallons of blood
passes through the heart and lungs in
about two and half minutes, and that.
on its way, it makes bone and muscle,

Origin Of Lynch Law.

Lynch law is pretty generally
understood as the taking of life
without process Of law of a felon
who has been convicted at the
bar Of public opinion of an odense
deserving Of death, But it is not
so generally known that the name
originated in Campbell County,
Va, before the revolutionary war.
At that period the country was
lhinly settled and was infested
with Tories and detperadoes too
many Of them apparently for the
local authorities to adequately
punish, Colonel Charles Lynch, y
distinguished officer Of the rcyo,
lutionary army, undertook to rid
his country Of the outlaws. He
organized a force, arrested the out
laws, and having satisfied himself
and comrades OF the guilt of the
accused, executed them without
reference to the constituted au-
thorities. While not altogether
approving Of the desperate remedy
for a desperate cause the benefi-
cial effect Of ColoAel Lyncl's &C,
ton was recognized and has since
been known as Lynch's law or
Lynch law. Lynch's process OF
meeting out speedy justice extend
ed to other parts u the country.
and is we'll recognized form Of
redress Of grievances to day, par.
ticularly for that class Of offenses
that arc popularity believed not to
be adequately punished by the
statutes and the courts Of the.
State. Colonel Lynch's brother
gave his name to and founded
Lynchburg, and left a son who
was subsequently, Governor Of
Louisiana. Hartford { d) Dem.

I'm n Steamship's Engine Room

My reverie is broken by touch ON the
shoulder, and looking round 1 find the
good natnred captain, who says: Would
you like to go down with me' inspect
the engines every day" We descend to
the main deck, and by an iron door enter
the engine compartment. A bunch of
cotton waste is placed in each hand as a
protection against the omnipresent oil
Carefully we descend the iron stairs, keep
ing a firm hold of the balustrade, lest a
sudden lurch of the ship should precipi-
tate us among the great levers and cranks
that weave with relentless speed. Like
the huge monsters Of a nightmare, they
would grind their teeth and tear their vic
tim limb from limb. At every stroke Of
the piston a cold shower bath thrown
upon the bearings prevents the masses Of
metal from becoming heated
Through dim alley in the hold runs
the steel shaft, extending from engine to
screw, each OF whose sixty revolutions a
minute drives the enormous iron ship near
" thirty feet ahead in the sea. Here in q
side room are the dynamos for electric
lights of the incandescent arc pattern dis
tributed throughout the ship.
''Be CAREFUL says the captain as we
enter Oark passage between the rot lur-
naces and a moment later emerge into the
glare of open fire doors. 6tokers stripped
to the waist, smeared with coal dust and
streaked with sweat, are working furi
ously. Out they drag the burning Goals
that hiss as they drop on the flooded graf
ings. In they thrus. the fiery giants
food and with crash Of closing doors IL
is suddenly dark. Back by the hot pass
age and staircase we regain the deck. Il
seems weird 10 suddenly lose the tumult
Of the engine and find ourselves in the
cold night air, with misty stars overhead
and wind moaning In the coraage. --Albcrt

stories prefer to nave the milkman himself
leave his merchandise at the kitchen door.
There are those, too, and they are mostly the
occupants of the garrets, who fetch their sup
plies as required, caring little for the seven
flights of stairs their journey necessitates
Such then briefly are the many ways en-
ployed in many countries to supply the daily
milk. One method, perhaps stranger THAI
any heretofore touched upon, remains yet to
be noticed It is the manner in which the
residents of India, be they Europeans or
natives, have their wants satisfied 1t is the
custom there for the COW to be brought before
the door and MIXED. The Choice or cow
keeper leads the animal from house to house,
and certainly in this case delivers the article
in its purest and most unadulterated form.
Sitting on his heels he fills the measure with
as much milk as required direct from the
udder of the Cow. That done, he proceeds tc
the next customers residence and does like
wise and so on until the yield is exhausted
In such hot country the advantage of such
a system is more than that of the mere purity
of the supply.-''P G. H." in San Francisco

Caused BY Shaking Hands

In speaking with an old army officer or
the subject Of the frequent Indian out
breaks within the past few years, he ad-
vanced singular theory, which, to his
mind, at least, accounted satisfactorily
for much that has heretofore seemed in
applicable. Said my friend: I'm old
times, when it was necessary to prove the
assent to written contract of persons
who could neither read nor write, this
was done by atfixing their seals. When
the Indian makes contract he does so by
word of mouth, sealing the contract with
that solemnity which, to redskin, means
all things-he shakes hands upon it. This
Is custom with the Indian which is re-
served exclusively to ratify his contract,
and never, as with us, in salutation.
"When an occasion of Importance de-
mands that the chiefs shall come to Wash
ington, before starting they represent to
their, tribes the business in hand, ard state
that they will go and see the Great Father
with whom they will enter into treaty.
Arrived in Washington, an interpreter
presents their case to the president, who,
in good will to show that he is not above
giving a kind reception to the humblest
man in the country, advances and proffers
his hand. The chiefs are delighted, and
return to their tribes, setting forth that
the Great Father has acceded to their
Wishes because, after hearing the case, he
shook hands with them. If, after the ex-
ecution of a contract in the presence OF
witnesses subsequently sworn to and re-
corded, we should then break it so that
suit in court would be the only remedy to
the party injured thereby, the situation
would not be more serious hese, while the
president shakes hands with an Indian
who afterward does not get or enjoy what
he understood would be given by that act
of handshaking. All of which goes to
prove, in conclusion, that the president
should never shake hands with an In
dian. '-Washington Letter.
