AN estimate in

IAN estimate IN these diseases Is quite
interesting and speaks well for the
health of indianapolis. It would be fair
to presume that at least 1000 cases of
meales escaped the notice of the officers before
reports were made imperative. We had 81
deaths from typhoid fever during the year, but
the report of cases was not complete. since the
ply sicians did not understand that this was
necessary; yet estimate of $500 cases has
been made which, think, is too high In re-
gard to health statistics and taking the above
figures, one would almost be tempted to say, as

The Practical Blessings Of Sunday.

If one day of rest in every seven
were the only blessing that could be
traced to the Christian religion, we
would still owe it a great debt of graft
tude. What would the innumerable
army of common people the world
over do without Sunday ?" The rest
the change, the recreation even that
characterize the universal observance
of Sunday in all Christian countries, is
the salt that saves them from decay.
They who work in mines come up that
day into the blessed sunlight and
breathe for a short time the sweet out
door world. Tired women and little
children who stand the other six days
in noisy factories or noisy shops work
ing for their daily bread, throw off
their burden on the seventh and rest or
play as suits them best. Clerks, seam
stresses, schOOl-teachers, farm labOrers,
all the rank and file of wage-wOrkers,
go home on Saturday night ejOicing in
the freedom and the leisure of the COM
ing day. Even dumb driven cattle" "
horses that draw after them the heavy
loads of commerce. oxen who drag the
reluctant plow through tough and
stubborn burrows, mules who strain
painfully up steep mountain sides
under unwieldy packs, love and need
the regularly recurring rest of the
quiet Seventh day. 1t is hard to ap-
preciate truly the estimable value OF
this precious Sunday to the world at
large. The French, after the reign Oi
terror had turned their brains, tried tC
abolish it, but in vain. They could
not live without it. It is an impera-
tive physical necessity as well as an
invaluable moral and religious help

A Real Necessity.

We presume there is hardly a lady
to be found in our broad land who, if
she does not already possess a sewing
machine, expects some day to become
the owner of one.
But after the mind has been fully
made up to purchase one of these in
dispensible articles, the question arises
as to what kind of a machine to buy.
1t should be so simply constructed
that the most inexperienced can sue
cessfully operate it. The other points
mainly to be considered, and which are
the most desirable, are durability,
rapidity, capacity for work, ease of
operation, regularity of motion, uni
formity of tension, and silence while in
operation.
The "Light-Running New Home !"
fills the above requirements, and is said
to combine the good points of all sew
ing machines, with the addition of
many new improvements and labor
saving devices.
The price is no higher than that of
other machines, and every lady who is
the happy possessor of one may rest
assured she has indeed a treasure. See

The great Richmond Exposition,
which has now been in successful Oper-
alton for two weeks, promises to retain
the favor Of the public to the end. Its
great exhibit of tobacco, the products,
minerals, and fine stock of the South,
with all its numberless special features,
form one of the most interesting dis
plays of the kind ever seen. The city
of Richmond itself, with its colonial

memories, and contemporaneous inter
est, is we'll worth visit, which can never
be more pleasantly made than at this
season. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, in order to place the trip
within the power of every one, is SELL

that King Solomon paid at the rate of
a cent day to the workmen who built
his temple. Talk about pauper labor
This beats anything of the kind that
we have ever read or heard of. But
suppose Solomon gave as much wages
as anybody else. That alters the case,
and the cent a day there at that time
might have been equal 70 that paid for
