Health Suggestions.

The health committee of the Citizens
Sanitary Association has made sug gestion
to the city authorities which should be
acted upon at once. 1t is that the privy
vaults in the burnt district should be filled
up at once. Rains may soon come and
warm weather will quickly follow. These
vaults should be filled with earth before it
rains. If they are not they may cause sick
ness
This health committee is doing a good
work. 1t is composed of men VINO have the
best interests of the city at heart, and it
always has excellent reasons for the slgges-
tions it makes.
The health Of the city is matter of the
highest Importance, and it should be care
fully guarded. Whenever there is impera-
tive need of additional drainage in the
city, or its vicinity. the work should
be attended to without unnecessary delay
The benefits which flow from good drain
age are well understood. Drainage work
done now will be far more effective than
such work will bs If done when warm
weather las come.
The health committee also advises that
excavations be prohibited after May l.
Doubtless the council will act upon this
advice. Those who expect to erect build
ings during the summer. for which cellars
will have to be excavated, should begin the
work of excavating Immediately, so that
they will not be delayed in building.

W elcome Home.

Little eyes watch for papa to come;
Little feet run to welcome him home;
Little hands grasp the firm. clinging hand,
OF papa, the happiest man IN the land.
A little mouth lifted for papa to kiss;
A little breast filed with innocent bliss;
A little head resting on papa's strong frame;
A little heart burning with loves holy fame
A comely face seen through the window-so
bright
It's features illumined by loves gentle light,
And beaming eyes watching for husband to
come;
The Joy of her heart and pride Of her homo.
Little feet run to get papa his chair;
Gentle hands smooth his disordered hair;
wife and child, so loving and kind
What bliss for the heart, what peace for the
mind!
A loving voice driving away every care;
A dear, prattling tongue making music go rare
The worry and strife of the world all forgot,
In the comfort and JOY Of esrth's dearest spot
The lamps diffusing their clear, mellow light
The genial CRATE, burning cheerful and bright
., amid earth's attractions, there's no place
like home,
Where loving hearts wait for papa to come

The Listener was about to write a chapter on
the professional men who belong to the church
Tor professional purposes only. and who come
to regard their church as their peculiar pre-
serve, upon which other men have no right to
poach. On second thought. however he has
decided not to write the chapter, but simply to
tell story.
DR.. Plugham, an able dentist, who has his
office in that handsome thoroughfare which.
from the frequency ot its dental establishments
as coming to be called Molar avenue bingham
OF course, like the rest of the dentists in that
ariStocratic section, does not givs . hint of his
occupation in his sign, but simply decorates bis
door with very mod est plate, bearing only the
legend "Dr. Plugham'o belongs to fairly fash
ionable church. and is very faithful. indeed in
his devotions. No Sunday so stormy that it does
not find him in mis- pew he teaches a class in
the sunday school, and takes prominent part
in all church and society proceedings
The other Sunday several of the congregation
at Pughan's church noticed a well-dressed
stranger at church, upon whom Plugham Le-
slowed glance of slight recognition: and after
the service Plugham and the stranger were
seen in conversation for moment or two in
the vestibule. Afte- tne stranger hal passed
out, one of the members of the church stepped
up TO DR.. Plugham and remarked
Who was that stranger that you were talk
Ing with doctorg"
"HeY' said Plugham, as q scowl darkened his
handsome face, ''oh, that was DR.. Snagge. the
dentist. and / don't see what in thunder he's
prowlinR around here for!'

The Montana Disappointment.

The result of the municipal elections in
Montana was a great disappointment TO the
republicans. They put their strongest men
on their tickets and did their utmost to win
the elections. They understood the impor-
tance Of a victory to them az this time.
The elections for congressman and state
officers will take place in the fall, and the
result Of the municipal elections will have
an immense influence oa them.
The democrats Of Montana are pretty GER
tain that a democratic congressman will be
elected, and that a legislature will be
chosen that will send u democrat to the
United States Senate. They are enthusiast
tic because they regard their success as
certain. The republicans are despondent.
They thought that Montana was certainly
republican, and they have been making
their plans to get all the offices. There
are two factions Of republicans, oae
Of which is led by Russell Harrison. Young
Harrison, it seems, wants to represent Mon
tana in the senate, and he is depending upon
his fathers assistance to put him there. II
the legislature should be democratic, how
ever, he would have TO stay at home, and
the chances now are that the legislature
will be democratic.
The republican leaders are very much
alarmed at the situation ia Montana. Their
majority in the House is remarkably slen-
der, and death may rob then of it before
congress meets. Under the circumstances,
therefore, it is not to be wondered at that
the republican newspapers are beginning to
talk about the adyisability of calling an
extra session OF congress. II the session
should be called it is pretty certain that
number of democrats would be unseated
ia short order, and their places filed with
republicans.
The President does not favor an extra
session, and will not call one il be can pos
sibly avoid doing SO. He may be persuaded,
however, that the preservation Of the
republican majority iu the House demands
such session.
Montana is only one Oh four terri
tories which, at its last sssslon, congress
authorized to be admitted to ths MRion, and
there is some ground for saying that the
republican Senate would never have con-
selted to her admission il it had been
thought that there was any prospect of its
being democratic state. Montana, how
ever, will be in the union, and may plague
the republicans a great deal

The Family Physician.

1t is said that the Chinese pay their medi-
cal advisers only SO long as they are kept in
good health. Dr. Andrew H. Smith seems
to want a somewhat similar custom estab-
lished in this country. In an article In the
current Hdrper's, he says the family physi-
clan should know at all times just what is
the condition of each member of the family
in the absence of evidences Of disease, and
that to this end he should make thorough
physical examinations at least twice year
of those who apparently are IN fair health,
and at much shorter intervals when the
person is delicate or feeble. The results of
these examinations. he says, should be re-
corded in book kept by the ply sician,
who should transfer 1t to his successor.
Such record would be Of great value, not
only to those Immediately Interested, but
also to their posterity, as by knowing the
vital history OF parents, physicians would
know what to expect in children. DR..
Smith notes the fact that the records
of examinations by physicians en-
ployed by insurance companies disclose the
existence of numerous serious diseases which
were not suspected to exist. and he refers to
the sudden deaths of persons apparently in
good health few hours before death. He
believes that there should be no such thing
as q discoverable disease remaining undis-
covered, and that there would not bs if the
plan suggested by him were adopted.
According to DR.. Smith, the duties of the
family physician should not stop here. He
should say what occupation is suitable to
each member Of the family-for instance. a
narrow chested boy, with a tendency to
pulmonary diseases, should not be put be-
hind desk in a counting room. The family
physician should be consulted with regard
to the schools to which children are sent,
as we'll as to the time they should devote
to study, and in the selection of house his
opinion regarding topography and sanitary
conditions should be sought.
What DIR. Smith says is worthy Of serI-
GUS consideration, II his suggestions were
generally adopted the lives Of many people
would be heightened, and growing genera
tions would be healthier.

The venerable historian, George Bancroft,
is slowly dying in Washington. He has
not besn stricken down by disease, but is
about to succomb to old age and its conss-
quent feebleneSs. He is 81 years old He
has entirely abandoned literary work, as he
is not able to fix his mind upon any subject
for more than a, few minutes at a time.
Mr. Bancroft is a great admirer Of Mrs.
Cleveland, and when that lovely woman
was mistress Of the white house he was one
Of her most frequent and most warmly
welcomed callers. When he bade her go ID
bye, at the end of her husbands term, tears
followed the burrows on his cheeks, and
Mrs. Cleveland also is said to have shown
considerable emotion-the only time she is
known to have done 50 on the occasion OF
her leave-taking.

PERSON Al.

LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL has been taking
some recent flyers at the local races with rather
disastrous results. His losses, it is said amount
to S25, 900.
MISS KRARxR, an Esquimau is lecturing in
Philadelphia. She is only little over three
feet in hight. She speaks English fairly well,
with peculiar cultural accent.
JOHN BRIGHT was an inveterate smoker. and
he left q very fine collection of pipes He was
also fond of the game of billiards. the intrica-
cles of which he had well mastered.
PRESIDENT LINCOLN once granted pardon to
England asked it. His confidence in the dead
Englishman was such as TO warrant the belief
that Bright would not interfere unless Justice
demanded il.
SENATOR PAYNEs nearest friends say that he
will certainly be a candidate for a second term
as he regards a reel ction as the only real vim
dcation he can receive. They are now at work
preparing the list of Payne candidates for the
legislature.
EDWIN BOOTH is now well enough to move on
his cigar box occasionally but he does it more
cautiously than before his Illness. His rooms
became so crowded with callers that he was
forced to issue an order not to admit any but
his best friends
SENATOR VANCE is resting quietly at his home
in Bunc ombe county, North Carolina. He is
improving in health very rapidly. His remain
ing eye is stronger than it has been for years
The senator is much astonished at the report
which is going about that he is totally blind

as many clubs as any man in the country He
is a member OF The Philadelphia club the Som
erset OF Boston, the Union and Knickerbocker
ington, and Of others in minor cities from San
Francisco TO Portland, Ne.
HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN, according to Mr.
Gosse, was q peculiar and decidedly unpleasant
child When he was pleased he played on his
hat like tambourine. When harsh words we're
said TO him his tears and sobS came as readily
and copously as those Of the immortal turtle in
Alice In Wonderland" The genius of the
youthful Andersen was stimulated by wedding
in the garden OF a lunatic asylum and by invent.

1t is not clear yet whether President Har.
rison is much Of civil service reformer.
! The platform upon which he was elected is
outspoken in favor Of the reform, and the
President himself has pledged himself to a
faithful execution of the civil service laws
In localities in which civil service reform i.
popular, the republican campaign speakers
declared that Gen. Harrison would be q
better civil service reformer taan Mr..
Cleveland was
President Harrison has as yet given no
indication that he intends virtually to dis
regard the civil service laws, unless his
failure to put the civil service commits sion
in working shape can be 50 construed. II
may be that he has not yet bsel able to
make choics of civil service com nj sion
ers. He has not yet permitted employees of
the government, coming under civil service
regulations, to be dismissed except for good
cause, nor have there been appointments
made, so far as known, of persons to places
within those regulations who have not COM
piled with them. 1t is, therefore, too early
yet TO charge that President Harrison is
not keeping his pledges and respecting the
platform of his party.
The Secretary of the Interior, Mr.. n )ble,
said the other day that he intended to get
rid Of inefficient dem ocrats as fast as he
could, and that hs p Irposei to favor re-
publicans in filing the vacancies thus
created. He doubtless had reference to
offices which do not come within the scope
Of the civil service regulations. When
these regulations have been violated, it will
be time enough to assert that President
Harrison has no sympathy with civil serv-
ice reform,
1t should be Eept in mind that only the
places in the lower grades of the civil
service are subject to the civil service regu-
lstions The removal without cause Of
officials who hold places outside of those
regulations, and the appointment Of repub-
hcans to succeed them, do not necessarily
expose President Harrison to the charge Of
ignoring civil service reform.
An efYortwas made to bulldoze Mr. Cleve-
land into recognizing the spirit of the civil
service law in making all appointments,
and he was subjected to a good deal of
harsh criticism because he failed to do 50.
The same course is being pursued in the case
of President Harrison. The injustice of it is
apparent.
When President Harrison fails to execute
the civil service laws conscientiously, it will
be time then to charge that he is hostile to
civil service reform, and that he is untrue to
his promises TO the people. 1t serves no
good purpose, however, to misrepresent
him. The truth will find its way to the
people finally and they will judge for them
selves whether or not he is an honest and
faithful President

Information Gen. Taylor WIN furnish.

FfoIa the Baltimore Sun.
6 Since President Benjamin 9 Harrison has been
at the white house he has made most strenuous
efforts 70 ascertain exactly which room his
grandfather died in SO far he has failed as
none OF the servants now connected with the
white house were there when the first President
Harrison was there, and no one of whom the
President has inquired has been able to supply
the desired information. Gen. TAYLOR however
will satisfy Gen. Harrison fullyIJn this point as
he was in the room with his uncle when he died
The two boys, as stated BEFORE occupied the
room in the front of the house over the portico
and President Harrison is thought to have occu-
pied the room diagonally across the hall to the
southwest of them. President Harrison now
sleeps in the same room in which his grand
father is supposed to have died. and possibly
the same bed.
The rumor set aioat at the time of President
Harrison's death that his demise may have been
due to poisoning is stated by Gen Tavlor to be
most absurd. No one who was present with
him at the time could fail to see tnat President
Harrlson's death was due simply to the great
exhaustion attendant upon his conscientious
performance of the arduous duties of his posi-
tion. All the symptoms attending his death
were those of extreme physical exhaustion and
overwork.
Gen. Taylor's mother remained at the white
house several weeks after the death of Presi-
dent Harrison, and then returned to her home
in Richmond, where the general was living
when the late war broke out
