City and Country Health.


Statistics do not show a greater lon
gevity in the country than in the city,
and if we exclude infant mortality from
the account the exact reverse is true
Moreover, among those dwellers in the
cities who are able to live relatively as
well as country people do the general
health is unquestionably better. Beyond
the limits of squalid poverty, the food,
clothing and housing of city people in
modern times are all better in a marked
degree than in the country, and the
cooking is UNNECESSARILY superior.

from tne PnllaQelpnIa PreSS.
A tall, well-built young man lounged
or two ago, closely followed by sleek,
intelligent Italian greyhound. The
man took his place in a chair and the
dog quietly reclined on the floor near
by. The barber stopped to pat the
graceful creature, and jocularly said:
9Th top av tn mahrnin' to yez,
Rover"
The dog cooked his ears and looked
inquiringly at his master. The latter
observed: ''Ze doggie do not speek
Angles. He's Parisian.' Then he
looked at his pet and continued "Bon
jour, Baptist"
The greyhound enthusiastically
whacked his tail upon the floor and
gurgle of satisfaction.
"Can he do any thricks?" asked the
barber, pausing in his work.
Certainly" replied the young
Frenchman, in broken English. "Tell
him to roll over"
The barber did SO, but the dog merely
remained quiet, and worried, anxious
expression spread over his face. Then
his master repeated the command in
French, and the graceful pet, with a
short bark of pleasure, at once rolled
over and over.
The barber told him to sit up, to
charge, to shake hands, etc, but doggie
could not understand until his owner
repeated the suggestions in his native
tongue.
AS both left the shop the barber
shook his head doubtfully. Next"

FREAK OF A HUMAN HAND
Blown Through a Sm0kestack
and Caught on a Rod.

Brazil, Ind, August 5.-Frede-
rick Miller and David Heller, two
employees at the furnace at the roll
ing mills, were killed by premature
explosion of Hercules powder while
blasting out salamander from the
bottom of the furnace. Miller was
standing directly over the drilling
hole at the time Of the explosion aud
was terribly torn and dis6gured.
Both arms was torn IF, hut one was
found. Every effort to find the other
arm proved fruitless until yesterday.
The workmen saw an object clinging
to one of the stay rods that help to
support and keep in position the
stacks on the top Of the furnace.
Through curiosity they climbed
up to the top and they saw
a sight that not only filled
them with horror but with won
der. There, 10 full sight of all, was
mans hand with only the stub of an
arm attached, C inging tightly to the
rod above mentioned. There can be
the unfortunate Miller. The only
theory known for the strange freak of
the bodiless hand is that the hand was
blown out the top Of the high stack,
and in coming down the muscles, still
active, contracted when the hand
struck the rod and fastened to it with
a deadly grip. From the position in
which Miller was standing the hand
could not have reached the position it
occupied other than in The above man.
