hard-working man in Fairfield than Mr..
John York, the landscape gardener. He is

little ginger tea fixed him all right. He has
been a resident of the place rs
years, coming from Mercer. He is the
father Of IL children, and has never been
married but once, his wife. who was three
years younger than himself, dying five
years ago. His housekeeper now is his
only living daughter, II years old, and he
is very proud of her. Eight of his
children are now living. He lost six-fve
girls snd boy by black diphtheria some
seven years ago, all Of them dying within a
day. Their ages ranged from 6 months to
IA years. Mr.. York himself never went to

rather remarkable. His services are in

portions, as the gas with which We light

even paralysis, if taken in excess: yet the

The water which will allay our burn

before entering the mouth it assuages

render this paradox more striking, we

melts more slowly in the mouth, is very
efficient in allaying thirst

According to DR.. G. Munro Smith. in
The Bristol Medico Chirurgical Journal.
the daily destructive metabolism, which
is the great criterion Of work done, does
not vary much among different occupa-
tons. Promising that he does not con-
slider moderate over eating injurious, he
finds that very many men eat consider
ably more than the. most liberal tables:
it is not an uncommon thing for an aver
age sized man on very moderate work to
eat twenty-five or twenty seven ounces
of chemically dry food a day. Women
eat much less than men, after making
allowances for differences in weight
and work. Where man eats nineteen
ounces, woman of the same weight
or fifteen ounces.
On diet from which all meat is ex-
cluded, he has found that twelve to tbir-
teen ounces per diem viii comfortably
feed hard working man. A moderate
amount Of stinalanis appears to increase
the average; moderately free drinking
diminishes it. A diet consisting Of one
Part Of heterogeneous to seven oreisht non
l.trogenous is a good combination; it Is
greatly exceeded on the heterogeneous side
ny the majority Of men and women, es-
pecially the former. A die, OF twelve to
fourteen ources Of chemically dry food,

proportion, Is sufficient to keep in good
health an average sized man on moderate
work. The majority Of people lin Eng

DR.. Hansen. the Norwegian discoverer
Of the bacillus of leprosy, came over to
this country while a.o To trace the his
tory of leper immigrants who had settled
in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota.
Of 100 original leper Immigrants he was
able to find only 10; ii few more NAV be
living. but nearly IA are dead. OF III
their descendants, SC far as grcat-grand-
children, not one has. become lcper. In
this country the disease does not increase
nor does it appear to he hereditary. The
failure to spread here is thought to be
due 10 the improved conditions Of living
which the immigrants are able to secure
on this side Of the ocean.
The Sanitary Inspector. in speaking of
leper lately found at Brentwood Eng
land. says that many persons believe that
leprosy has entirely disappeared from
England. yet there has probably never
been a year in which score of lepers
could not be produced, and that, though
England used To have lepers enough,
leprosy has become a very rare disease
since English homes and English roads
have been kept clean. science.
