CURB AND GuTrERING AND THINGS

The curb and guttering a long time ago
contracted for the north side of Second
from Main to Water is commencing to
materialize. The fellows around the city
| offices are very much alarmed over the lay
out. They are afraid the sweet smelling
breeZes coming up from the rich gutter
| will to a certain extent be interfered with
and the change so abruptly may be violent
and result badly from health standpoint.
| They have one consolation, however, as
represented. The ditch on the south side
next to the Offices is all right and quite
able to furnish its quote of evidence OF
being there.
The curb and guttering on East Douglas
is growing gradually 1t is thought a
few weeks more will find most Of it COM
pleted when the business men along the
avenue Will commence putting down the
regulation sidewalk. Some Of them have
expressed themselves as being quite
impatient that the weather and other
causes should hold back the curb and
guttering so long and force making no
improvements in the walks. In this con-
nection business man near the corner OF
Douglas and Topeka avenues was heard
remark yesterday that he was all out Of
humor about the famous catch-box for the
Topeka avenue sewer at Douglas had been
discontinued. He was at times, in its alb
sence, not certain that he was at his place
OF business, as it had tor long time been
a reliable landmark il hot weather when
there was danger of dizziness from excess
sive heat.
There is some talk again about the ele-
waited curb and guttering on Market street
from Second TO First. Some of the property
owners say the curb is all right and
street should be brought up to grade.
Others seem to think its all wrong and
should be scattered with giant powder.
All seem to think something should be
done either fill in the street or take out

gineer VI. Jackman has not, as yet, been
called upon officially for his opinion of
the situation. The general system" and

has not been agreed upon as in tact start

lecture, so far. only. 1t is said the coun-
Gil will at its next meeting be called upon
to give the matter some attention in the
hope of a change according to the wish Of
some one.

Sunlight and Health.

The potent influence Of sunlight
upon health can hardly be exaggerated.
DIR. Wier Mitchell, in his interesting
researches on snake po!sons. found
that the poison of the deadly cobra, if
exposed to sunlight for brief time,
became harmless. Prof Huxley has
shown that yeast increases indefinitely
in volume amid darkness and damp,
while in sunlight just the reverse is
the case. Sunless houses are unnatur.
al creators of sickness The preva-
lence of goitre in Siberia, which at
tacks twelve and often twenty-five per
cent o: the people in some villages,
is ascribed to the accumulation OF
filth in deep. narrow valleys and the
habit OF Russian peasants Of keeping
their houses tightly closed. Free ac-
cess of light favors nutrition and regu-
larity Of development and contributes
to beautify the countenance, while de-
ficiency of light is usually character
lied by ugliness. ricketts, and deform-
ity, and is fruitful source Of scrofula
and consumption in any climate. It
is probable that one Of the chief bene-
fits derived by invalids from a winter
sojourn of Alpine or tropical resorts lie
due to the large amount Of sunlight

A SALT ALLOWANCE.
Why 1t Should he Given with Regularity
to All Dairy Stock.

Why 1t Should He Given with Reg ulaFity
to All Dairy Stock.
We have always maintained that
cows should be given a stated allow
ance of salt at regular intervals. il
they were not sailed by that better
plan-having salt placed where they
could have free access to it at all
times This has been urged in order
that the cows might have what they
wanted and not take enough at one
time to disarrange their digestive or
gans. Any one who has given at
tention to the matter of sailing dairy
cows. knows that they are better for
having salt, and having it regularly.
Now. the Americ An Dairyman tells US
why we salt them:
As soon as the food enters the
stomach the natural tendency is for
fermentation to begin, and there
arises contest between this ten
dency and the digestive powers And
if these powers are vigorous and the
process of fermentation is checked or
intercepted. then no bad results will
follow; the food will be digested. and
salt will not be needed. though at any
time this will assist in the process Of
digestion. Salt keeps food from de-
caying until it can be digested and
assimIlated. and prolongs the time to
allow the digestive organs to COM
plete their work; and if food is taken
in excess. as often happens when stock
is in pasture, salt given frequently
will be of much advantage. And
further, salt is a preventive OF
worms. When fermentation sets in,
the conditions presented arc favor
able to the condition Of the worms in
the intestinal canals. and may posi-
bly, be engendered by the process
Consequently it should be . rule with
the stockmen to keep salt before their
cattle. or within easy reach when
they need it. and the cattle will obey
the demands Of nature, and supply the
want as needed.-Farm. Field and
Stockman.

The color of objects is another point OF
interest That of the clouds was com.
pounded of faint red yellow and
brown-that, during the darkness OBJ
jects which commonly appear green,
were of the deepest green verging to
blue, and that those which appear white
were tinged with yellow. In most
places thunder was heard a number of
times in the morning. The clouds
soon began to rise from the southwest
with gentle breeze. and there were
several small showers before eight
o'clock. The water that fell was
found to have an unusual character,
being thick, dark and sooty. The
rain-water which people saved in
tubs was the subject OF universal and
wondering remark. On examining
the water there was found a light
scum upon it, which, on being rubbed
between the thumb and finger, seemed
to resemble the black ashes of burnt
leaves; the water also gave the same
strong sooty smell which character
lied the air. There is no doubt but
that the upper air was charged with
the smoke of burning forests. prob
ably many miles away, and that the
pressure of the atmosphere becoming
