How to Use Leisure.

Any discussion upon this subject in
our country, and especially in this city,
ought TO be prefaced by paraphrase
of the famous receipt for cooking a
hare first get your leisure.
Even the small class which might
be supposed to have plenty OF leisure
the rich people with no occupation
really have very little. Their social
obligations or indulgences, their never
ending round OF pleasure seeking aud
restless activity in search of new
sensations, leave them little leisure, as
the word is generally understood I'm
occupied or vacant time. To be at
leisure is one OF the few Injuries that
most American, save loafers or trImps,
seem unable TO secure. The men are
too busy, the women have too many
cares. As IA rule it is mere change OF
treadmills; when work or business ceas-
es activity of some other sort begins.
A genuine leisure class j. evidently the
product OF "A country considerably oder
than this.
That there are exceptions goes with
out saying. The people who realize as
Montaigne did, that the ultimate phi
losophy is "to know how TO live to pur-
pose" will manage TO find and TO util-
lie little leisure. How 10 spend il
was the question recently discussed at
the Twilight Club. And these were
the various ways Of the members: On
horseback; in reading, playing bill
lizards. literary composition, riding a
hobby" lounging at the club, haunt
ing auction rooms. run into the coun-

prove that every man rests or recreates
| himself. as we'll as works, after his
own fashion.

TO use his leisure, and sensible one

From paper read before the San
Diego Society OF Natural History, by
G.. w. Barnes, NJ. d., and published i'm
the West American Scientist, we make
a few extracts:
First. Reasons based on sanitary
| grounds are most potent. The earth
is the most convenient depository for
sive or deleterious OF cannot be toler-
ated above its surface. Tho soil is
not, however, always destructive, but
often preservative of the products of
animal and vegetable decomposition.
II is more than probability that
| pestilential diseases are by earth bur-
ial transmitted from one generation to
another, and thus perpetuated inde6n-
itely. If the seeds OF plants can be
preserved for centuries. and then I'M
der favoring conditions be made to
terminate and reproduce their kind,
so the germs of contagious disease
after having been entombed for ages
may be warmed into life under suitable
environment, and spread contagion
among the living. To this source may
often be attributed the sudden out
break of epidemics and the occurrence
of forms of disease not previously
known in the locality. Evidence is
not wanting that bodies which had
persisted from infectious disease on
being exhumel or the products of
their decomposition disturbed many
years after interment have commune
Gated the same disease TO the living.
Cemeteries are IA growing evil and a
danger They encroach upon the do
main OF living men and their uses.
They pollute the air and the water.
One generation OF men revels out its
little life upon the earth, passes away
and gives place TO a succeeding one.
But cemeteries seem designed to en-
dure forever. Fifty millions Of people
in our own land walk the earth TO day.
Where shall they be laid, and where
the millions Of the next succeeding
generations? The moving tides of
living humanity will be turned from
their channels to give way to the ad.
vancing armies of the dead
says Sir Henry Thompson: mo
dead body is ever placed in the soil
without polluting the earth, the air
and the water above and about it,"
The experiments Of Pasteur and
others have shown that earth-worms
bring to the surface myriads of bacte-
ria from the bodies of decompo5ing
dead.
No successful means OF counterfeit
ing these destructive agencies have
been discovered All known disin-
fectants are under some circumstances
imperfect and unreliable, or OF difficult
or impossible application. Those up
on which the greatest reliance has
been placed are too often only deodor-
ants. The only true disinfectant is
fire. Correct principles of cleanliness
require that filth likely to become
dangerous which cannot be otherwise
perfectly destroyed, should be burned
This value OF this principle in the
sanitation of cities is so well recog-
nizei tn It methods are being intro
duced OF destroying by fire garbage
and all animal and all vegetable sub
stance liable to decay

Colonel Calvin :. Brice, recently
chosen chairman of the Democratic
National Campaign Committee, has
long been known as n power in Wall
street, especially in the affairs OF rail
roads, but until this year has not taken
any public part in politics. Calvin ;.
Brice was born in Denmark, Ohio,
on the 18th OF September, 1915, and is
the son OF Presbyterian minister
After having received a common
school education, he entered the Miami
university at Oxford, Ohio, but in 1861,
at the age of fifteen, he left that insti.
tuition to join the Union army. After
years service, he withdrew from the
army and returned TO Miami univer-
sity. He completed his course in June,
1868, and graduated with distinction.
Then early the next year he organized
Company + of the One Hundred and
Eightieth Ohio Infantry, with which
he served in the Twenty third corps
in Tennessee, Georgia and the Caro-
linas. At the close of the war he was
mustered out at the age OF nineteen
years, with the rank of lieutenant
colonel. Shortly after his return home
from the war he entered the law de-
partment OF the University OF Michigan
at Ann Arbor. He received his degree
in 1866 and was soon after admitted to
practice in the United States court in
Cincinnati, Ohio, but he did not prac-
tice there. He went to Lima, where
he mastered the intricacies OF corpora
ton law, and thus entered by degrees
into the railroad and financial enter
prises with which his name has come
to be associated. He is now the official
head of the Lake Erie Il Western, and
IN addition he has large pecuniary in
terests in the New York, Chicago IL

The Kentucky court Of appeals has
rendered an important and interesting
decision. The local option law. OF
Kentucky prohibits the sale of liquor
as a beverage, but gives druggists The
right to sell liquor for medicinal pur-
poses on the prescription of reputable
physician. No physician was to make
or sign any such prescription unless
the person for whom he prescribed
was actually sick and such liquor was
absolutely required as medicine. The
effect of this provision was to SUBJ
doctors to needless aunoyances, and in
some instances to criminal prosecution
for prescribing liquor on a mistaken
diagnosis. The court very sensibly
declares that to require a physician to
be absolutely certain that the drug
he prescribes is necessary for the dis
ease, and for breach, the result Of
an honest mistake, to mulct him in "a
fine, would drive him from the field. :"
All that is required, in the opinion of
the court, is that physician shall be
reasonably certain that patient needs
an alcoholic stimulaut as medicine
Considering the countless forms of
Kentucky diseases for which "Moun-
tain Dew is an invariable specific. the
decision will open "a rich field for the
enterprise OF doctors and druggists.

How Some Girls walk,

Why is it you young ladies do not
know how to walk? Look here comes
one with her head pitched forward, her
hands swinging ungracefully by her
side, her feet scuffling the walk, and
altogether presenting an appearance
quite unbecoming one of Americas
lovely daughters, charming in all else,
perhaps, but oh, such q gait! The
next one walks with jerk, her feet and
lower part of her body having started
on race with her head to see which
will get there first The consequence
is, for every step forward she comes
part way back with jerk.
Her sister follows, twitching ungrace-
fully from side to side, rolling
from one foot to the other like
sailor in mid-ocean, only he has
some excuse, and. she has not.
The arms usually follow, but in
opposite directions. The body of the
next one makes a perfect bow, bent
back, head forward and feet trying to
catch up. Not one with the firm grace
full step, erect head, straight shoulders,
easy arms and hands to be acquired by
sufficient determination to present a
dignifed carriage. When will deport-
ment be taught in our schools ?-Kings-

AComhnt with CnterpIIInrs.

Every one has read Of David and
Goliath, and how the weak oYercame
the mighty. We are reminded Of this
by q story fold in the Montreal Wit
ness, in which is described the capture
Of railway by an army of caterpillars.
The advance guard Of the army was
seen by railroad time-keeper at Sebois,
on the Canadian Pacific, as he rode over
ths line on his velocipede the night be-
fore. He encountered a lot of small,
gray caterpillars which had spread
themselves over the track so thickly
that he had to push his machine along
by hand for half an hour.
Next morning the first train that left
Sebois for Brownsville consisted Of
q big engine and eleven. fiat cars,
loaded with 1900 ship knees. 1t had
gone but q few miles when it ran
into sticky, squirming mass, which
the locomotive ground to greasy pulp
that clogged the driving wheels and
prevented them from getting any grip
on the track.
II was as If wheels and rails had been
thoroughly larded. The train came to
a standstill, and the conductor and
engineer made an investigation.
@Poohl" said the engineer, "bugs."
@Ha, hal" laughed the conductor,
derisiyely,
They jumped aboard, after little
scraping, and tried to start again, but
it was no use. The bugs" were too
much for them.
As far as the eye could reach the lit
tie caterpillars were in complete posses
sion of the track. The Canadian Pa
cifc was turned into two lines Of gray
wriggle.
The train was in the midst of the
woods.
"Cut bushes and try to sweep them
off" said the conductor to the trains
men.
All hands tried it, but the bushes
crushed the pulpy mass and only
smeared the traced worse than ever.
Sand was then sprinkled on the rails.
This enabled the engine to start; but
the caterpillars soon creased the rails
again, and the train halted.
A messenger was dispatched to the
Sebois station, and the situation tele'
Rraphed to the manager of the road.
He sent an extra locomotive and crew
Of helpers to the assistance of the be-
leagued train. With a force of men
scraping and sanding, with an engine
to pull and another to push, the train
crept through the woods at a snailf
pace.
Supt Van Zile issued the orders
and charge after charge was made al
the steep grades fabricated with crushed
caterpillars. All day long, and after the
sun had gone down, the locomotive and
men toiled to draw the train from Sc
bois to Brownsville. The myriads Of
caterpillars covered the rails for clever
miles. When the train reached its
destination at last it bore the most ex.
hausted and disgusted crew ever seer
on this continent ouside of blizzard.
