TO TRY CREMATINo GARBAGE.
A Scheme of the Ladies' Health
Protectlve Association.

A Scheme of the Ladies' Health
Protective Association.
The Ladies' Health Protective Asso-
citation held meeting yesterday, and
talked over several matters which in
vestigation has satisfied them stand
sadly in need OF reform. For some time
past the association has been attempt
ing TO arouse public sentiment which
shall demand that New York city be
furnished with garbage cremeators in
place OF dumping scows, which are
cmptied into the harbor. A committee
has held conference with the board
of health, and that body has assured
the ladies that il facts regarding effic-
iency and cost of the cremator can be
secured it will heartily cooperate in
an attempt TO have them introduced
here.
The ladies at their own expense have
engaged n civil engineer, who will Wis
il the cities of Pittsburg, Buffalo, st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Des Moines, and
make q detailed report upon the crema-
tors in use there. Several OF the COM
panies making them have offered to
put cremators in on trial, and the offer
OF one company has been accepted and
"a site secured for its location.
The question of female inspectors for
tenement houses was again brought up
and committee appointed to confer
with the board of health.
Then the ladies devoted half hour
TO giving vent to their Indignation
against what they termed "the unquali-
fed impertinence of the police commits
sioners.n Last year the Legislature
passed bill providing that police sta
tions in this city should have matrons.
No matrons have been provided, and a
committee was appointed at the last
meeting of the association to learn the
reason why. Mayor Hewitt was ap-
pealed to, and, upon investigation, he
found that no appropriation had been
made for the purpose. inquiries of the
board of apportionment brought to
light the fact that no provision had
been made, for the reason that the po-
lice commissioners, in spite Of the ac-
ton Of the Legislature, said that police
matrons were not needed.
The association before adjourning
expressed its sympathy with the move
ment TO provide free winter baths for
the poor.-New York Times.

REUBEN JAM ES.


Three ships Of war had I'reble when he left
the Naples shore,
And the knightly king OF Naples lent him
seven galleys more;
And mover since the Argo fioated in the
middle sea
Such noble men and valiant have sailed in
company
AS the men who went with Preble TO the
seige of Trpoh.
Stewart, Baiubridgc, Hull, Decatur, how
their names ring out like gold =
Lawrence, Porter, Trippe, Macdonough,
and a score as true and bold;
Every star that lights their banner tells the
glory that they won;
But one common sailors glory is the splen-
dor of the sun.
Reuben James was first to follow when De
catur laid aboard
OF the lofty Turkish galley and in battle
broke his sword
Then the pirate captain smotc him, till his
blood was running fast,
And they grapple1, and they struggled,
and they fell beside the mast.
Close ehind him Reuben battled with a
dozen, undisnayed,
Till bullet broke his sword arm, and he
dropped the useless blade.
Then swinging Turkish saber Glove his left
and brought him low,
Like a gallant bark, dismantled, ut the
mercy Of the foe.
Little mercy knows the corsair; high his
blade was raised u slay,
When richer prize allured him where De
catur sur ggling lay.
"Help!n the Turkish leader shouted, and
his trusty comrade sprung,
And his scimetar like lightning DER the
Yankee captain swung
Reuben James, disarmed, armless, saw the
saber fash on high
Saw Decatur shrink before il, heard the
pirates haunting cry,
Saw, II half the time | tell IL, how q
sailor brave and true
Still might show q bloody pirate what a
dying man can do
Quick he struggled, stumbling, sliding, in
the blood around his feet,
AS the Turk n moment waited to make
vengeance doubly sweet,
Swift the saber fell, but swifter bent the
sailors head below,
And on his defenceess forehead Ruebeu
James received the blow
SO was saved our brave Decatur; so the
common sailor died;
So the love that moves the loNly lifts the
great 10 fame and pride.
Yet we erudge him not his honors, foi
whom love like this had birth,
For God never ranks His sailors by the
register of earth

Grnat Ilnck hog.

Like the New Foundland, the Chesa-
peake bay dog is still to be fodnd-with
the same capacity and aptitude for his
calling-in several strains, sizes, coats
and colors, long haired, short haired
and curly coated, red, brown or yellow
or sedge grass in color. Having gun
ned on one of the choicest shores of the
Gunpowder river for more than twenty
years, and consequently outlived many
early prejudices, 1sn say that by far
the most satisfactory dog for the true
sportsman is the medium sized, "otter
coated" dead grass color, the shade of
your shooting suit. This settles the
question OF color advantage. They do
not carry dead water to shake ever you
like any long haired animal, and con-
sequently suffer less themselves, hav-
ing fine fur next to the hide. They
are powerful, fast swimmers, with scent
equal to any dog of the best breed.
The large dog tires quicker, is hard to
keep out Of sight and of course is in the
way about the blind. The endurance
of these dogs as a breed and their intel
ligence for their business is almost be-
You'd belief. But they are unsatisfac-
tory for any othar purpose; they know

Paint the Roof.

Ifpaint be put on as preservative rath-
or than for mere Ornamentation the root
should not be left implanted. 1t may not
lie seen, but the action of rain falling upon
a roof is much more injurious TO shingles
Imprinted than it can be on the sides and
clap-boards Of building. The falling
drops cause the tiber5 OF the wood TO break,
making fuzzy surface, which holds water
and induces decay. Paint entirely prevents
this so long as it lasts. IT is cheaper to keep
the roof covered with some inexpensive
paint than to have the labor and expense OF
renewing shingles every few years.

Feeding Snlphnr I'M Rood.

At this season, when the weather is
damp and many Of the poultry yards are
muddy, sulphur is injurious. Some add
sulphur to the food because an egg contains
a small proportion of sulphur, but all the
compounds of sulphur necessary for egg
composition can be derived from the food,
as sulphur is plentiful substance in near
~ all plants. The feeding of sulphur in the
food causes rheumatism, gust as mercury or
quinine affect the bones of individuals who
use them. Sulphur is especially injurious
in damp weather or when the birds run on
muddy yards or heavy clay soils.
