Packing of Human Eeinrs.

The cellar population of New York city
is q source of incessant disease and crime.
And with the moro respectable class of
poor, who occupy the better kind Of tene-
ment houses, the packing of human beings
In those great caravanserieS is one of the
worst evils Of this city. 1t sows pesti-
lence and breeds every species of criminal
habits. From 10000 tenement houses
comes 13 per cent. of the mortality of our
population. and l have little doubt as
much as 80 per cent. of the offenses against
property and person.
Overcrowding is the one great misfort-
une of New York Without it we should
be the healthiest large city in the world,
and a great proportion of the crimes which
disgrace our civilization would be nipped
in the bud. While this continues as it
does now, there is no possibility of
thorough sanitary, moral and religious
reform in our worst wards
Few girls can grow up to maturity in
such dens as exist here and be virtuous.
Few boys can have such places as homes
and not be thieves and vagabonds. In such
places typhus and cholera will always be
rife and the death rate will reach its most
terrible maximum. While the poorest pop
ulation dwell in these cellars and crowded
sttics neither Sunday schools, nor
churcnes, nor charities can accomplish a
thorough reform.-Joe Howard in New
iork Graphic.

Democrat
Tho Negro as q FataIist.

Some traits are common to all members
born who would not be willing to subsist
for the rest of his lifetime upon an ex-
elusive diet of pork, corn bread, cabbage.
buttermilk and watermelon. Holding
such dietary ideas. it follows that the
negroes must, of necessity, be fatalists.
They have no faith in the ''ounce of pre-
vention" theory, and look upon the idea of
taking precaution against disease as
white folks foolishness." No matter
how contagious the sickness, they have no
fear of it; / recall an instance Of a cook
who requested permission to set up with
the body of the president of her society.
1t was only at breakfast time the follow
ing morning that her mistress casually
inquired into the nature of the defunct
officers disease, and was electrified by the
careless answer, BLACK smallpox"
Scenes of sickness and death possess
horrible fascination for them all. They
cOngregate in and about the abode of suf-
criticising the medical treatment of the
case, uttering pious phrases and singing
their weird hymns. AS the disease nears
it's almost invariably fatal termination
they gloat over the last scenes and revel
in tunereal anticipations. No sooner has
breath left the body than the clock is
stopped; the mirror, if mirror there be,
is shrouded in white, and white curtains
are hung at the doors and windows. The
corpse is kept as long as circumstances and
the police will permit. and an almost unin-
terrupted course of prayer and singing is
maintained until the hour of burial.-New
York Post.

The following letter was received by the
ticket agent of the Missouri Pacific rail
way from one of the former teachers OF
Wichita:
EUGENE CITY, ORE, June 10, 1888.
Ticket Agent Missouri Pacific Railway. Wichita
Kan:
DEAR SIR want TO say to you that my
trip via Missouri Pacific and Denver & Rio
Grande railways to Salt Lake was perfectly
delightful. ANY one anticipating a trip TO
the coast should not fail to take this route,
and you may say to the teachers who are
going to San Francisco next month, for
me. that they must not fail TO take this
route. They can not afford to miss the al
most continuous scenery on this route TO
Ogden. At The Dailes, one hundred miles
east of Portland, j took a steamer down
the Columbia river, the scenery being very
grand indeed. AT the junction of the Co
lumbia and Willamette rivers can be seen
five mounts, the lowest of which is over
Il. 900 feet-Mt. Hood, Adams, St Helens,
Rainier or Tacoma and one other, whose
tops are continually covered with snow.
like this country very much. / have been

les and up as far as Victoria, Il. G. Hop

sas teachers at San Francisco next month,

Studies for Spare Moments.

1t is plainly impossible to learn every
thing that deserves to be learned, and,
on the other hand, to give up in despair
and let all study go by the board is, of
course, both foolish and wicked. The
first thing is to select the three or four
branches most congenid to ones disposi-
ton and capacity, and set ones self to
master them thoroughly. the next thing
is, as Emerson says, to 'lop off decisively
ones miscellaneous activities" Three or
four subjects of study are better than one
alone, because a devotion to one promotes
n2rrownesS of view and wrong per
spective. One OF these subjects will be,
naturally, the main subject-the mans
business or profession. The others should
be entirely distinct and different.

When Age Oyertakes Them.

A cynic, who is also critic, tells me he
has discovered why adorable women al
ways long to become an actress. It is
simply because actresses never grow old.
There comes a time, of course, when age
overtalIes them, but it comes like light
ming out of a clear sky, like a flash, and
this ever to be 2S-year-old star wakes up
some fine morning to find herself in the
hades Of past youth, and far down the
home stretch. Time has stood still for
them up to certain point. and then whiz
