Contractors to Supply Health.

Perhaps the most interesting suggestion in
Mr. Edwin Chadwich's presidential address
to the Sanitary association was that about
Health Contractors Mr.. Chadwick is a
victorian in the cause Of public health, and
has the old mans privilege Of looking into
the future A time will come, be seems to
think, when communities Will invite tenders
for the supply Of public health just as they
do now for the supply Of moro tangible COM
moditaea "SanitationistsH will that be the
terrible word0 will contract to supply so
much pubic health per 200 for 50 much a
year. Even now, said Mr.. Chadwick, "a
contractor with enlarged and commensurate
powers might contract for the reduction Of
the death rate of Manchester from 81 to 16
in 1000" No doubt he might-if be were
given "coumensurate powers II ell turns
on that And as the powers would be likely
to trench on moneyed interests at every turn,
1t win be some time, VIC fear, before Mr..
Chadwicks dream is fulfilled
The logical basis Of Mr.. Chadwick's argu-
ment was tho monetary value of saving
human hte> Every human being in the land
is worth, be says, G159 But is this really
,os Mr.. Chadwick might remember the
story told Of bishop, who is wen known for
his dislike OF cant and his skill In snubbipg
those who practice it A Pious lady of his
diocese was Illustrating TIE doctrine Of spe
cial Providence by case in her experience.
An aunt Of her own was setting out ON a sea
voyage, when she felt n warning from on
high" She obeyed the warning and did not
sail Next day the ship was wrecked and all
the passengers perIshed was not that saw
ing OF my aunt's life q clear case, my lord, OF
Divine Providencef" II cannot say" re-
piled the bishop, ''for do not know your

ne crlorGFdance' WITH which Eussiah boys
aud girls greet the approach of spring. The
"Zaplachki" or waiting songs bring relief to
the grief stricken. The "Bylinas," long
metrical romances sung or recited by village
MINISTRIES, supply the epic element by record
ing famous historic exploits; and even that
most prosaic of MISUNDERSTANDING with
grain the ships lying in the wharf-add some
beautiful melodies to the repertoire Of Rus
sian national song, the women who carry on
the work singing in chorus the while. The
vaudevilles that are so prominent q feature
in the repertoire of French recreation songs
today originated as songs of labor. There
vas once fuller of Vau de Wire, or the val
lev by the river ViTe who used to make his
men sing as they spread their cloths ON the
bank of the river. Usually the theme would
be some incident or adventure Of the day,
set to a rhythmical measure; and thus from
the labor of the apprentices of fuller on
the banks of the Wire We get the gay, roll
licking songs that resound from every music
hall and cafe il Paris.
Mill songs are especially common In Nor
mandy, and have character Of their own.
Their "coupletSs are wont to consist of two
lines with refrain, and the refrain is the
principal part Of the song. Auvergne is
famous for its bourries, and Burgundy Is
rich in Noels and drinking songs The
Italians have no special labor songs; they
seem to enliven their working hours with
snatches of national music, and in Tuscany
sou may hear tho straw plaiters singing as
they ply their busy fingers some of the lovely
stornelli or rispetti Of the country. The
storrello, known as Flower Of the Pea" is a
particular favorite with these straw workers.
What of music's past vocation rs q work in
spirer2 Is there not ample proof Of it in the
many songs Of many tongues that stand out
as beacons Of light along the dull road of
laborl What of the sailors chanties, the
fresh, breezy, rolling choruses that helped to
tighten Jacks manifold labors, and that the
present, with its ever increasing power Of
steam, has made things of the paste What
of the weavers' songs, that formed SO much
part of the daily life at tse loom that they
seemed almost woven into the fabric7 The
factory girls and the mill hands, of today
sing to the whirring accompaniment of the
latest machinery, not as sang those refugee
handweaverS Of old whose own limbs We're
the wheels they had to set in motion, and
whose own brains blended the harmonious
co.ors together and traced the wonderful and
intricate designs Here was truly need for
work inspirer, and here was it found III song.
