DISPOSAL OF SEWAGE.

Formany years the only important
object in regard to sewage seemed to
be how to get it out of the way; and
that indeed, with some variations, is
still the burden of heinquires on the
subject in all populous places where
the retention of offensive refuse is rec
ognized as an evil, and where many
other things are postponed to the
great cause of public health. In some
communities the solution of this
problem, even in very ancient times,
was substantially what it is now in
the best severed cities; that is, sew
age was carried to distant points by
a current of water flowing through
closed pipes Even in the city of
Jerusalem this system was in opera
tion in she days F-Solomon, and
modern engineers have discovered the
remains of the system, and thus
proved Interesting fact as to which
history was silent except for few
vague phrases here and there.
But not all the older world has met
the difficulty in the same way. For
thousands of years China has done
without sewers, and appears to be
none the worse for their absence. In
that country men carrying pals on a
yoke 90 from house to house in all
cities. Their pals are moving sub
stitutes for sewers, and what they
gather in the city they sell to farmers
and gardeners in the country. 1t is
said that typhoid fever is unknown
there; but a recent epidemic at Pekin
proves that this is not altogether
true. This, however, even if it We're
true, does not necessarily prove that
China is free from the causes of ty-
phoid fever. On thecOntrary, it may
prove their extreme prevalence; for
the exemption of a race of men from
a malady of this nature suggests
that they may have lived where the
atmosphere was fairly loaded with the
germs of the disease, and that nat
ural selection played its part in pro-
ducing a type that was proof against
it.
But it may come nearer home and
find cities that fiourished for a long
time without sewers, and even with
out so good a substitute as the
Chinese system. Many American
cities have neither; and that ancient
abomination, the privy vault is a
universal domestic institution in such
cities. 1t is, as time flies, but a very
few years since this city was in the
same predicament; that is to say, in
stead of adopting the Chinese system,
and sending offensive refuse out of
town, to be worked into the ground
and exhausted by vegetation, we re-
tained it in enormous quantities in
pits near our houses, where it con-
taminated all the ground near, and
made the atmosphere of the summer
night horrible 1t is probable that a
fever much known in the city, and
which lies on the line between inter
mittent and typhoid fevers, is pro
duced by breathing carnations from
the soil thus contaminated.-Harp-
| er'S Weekly.

At Dorset we found the little hotel
and the immense barn full, but there
was to be ball that night, and at
first it seemed somewhat doubtful
what was to become of us. But a
farmer turned his horses out of their
stalls to make room for ours, and a
kind old widow opposite opened her
house to us. For safety our saddles
and brides spent the night on her
hall-table, and we rejoiced her by
translating for her mother heart her
sons college diploma, which she had
lust received, and was quite unable
to understand. From there we went
by Dandy and Wallingtord to Claren-
don.
We used to rise very early, start at
once after breakfast, rest in the heat
of the day, and ride again late in the
afternoon. We made between twenty
and thirty miles some days. Wewere
often very tired with the long sitting,
but then we stretched ourselves fat
on the hard, clean, spsint9d floors of
our chambers, and resting so, were
all ready to start again.
Rutland, Pittsford and Sudbury
came next. Here we learned that
where there was so much lime in the
soil we must be careful about too
much washing of the horses feet.
From there to Larrabee's Point
and old Ticonderoga, whence we made
a short excursion to Rogers Rock on
Lake George, spending a delightful
day there, and so by boat and day
light up Lake Champlain, to the fa-
miliar Van Ness House at Burling-
ton. This was the first city we had
seen since we left Troy, and we rode
out of it gladly the next morning by
way of Richmond to Waterbury.
From Waterbury to Stowe is only
ten miles, every inch of which the
horses knew and we trotted on near
er and nearer to the great pile of
Mansfield till we drew rein at the ia
miliar hotel piazza ten days after we
had left New York.
We were not tired We were fresh
ened and invigorated physically by
our active life in the open air, our
plenty of sleep and simple food men
tally by the constant change of scene
and people, and the many incidents,
only few of which have been able
even to mention in an article of this
length.-Anna c. Bracket in August

THE MEN WHO DO NOT LIFT.

The word is sympathetic. The statement
none can doubt;
When AS in trouble don't we think that b
should help him out?
Of course, we haven't time ourselves to care
for any one,
But yet we hope that other folks will see that
it is done.
We want the grief and penury of earth to be
relieved;
We'd have the battles grandly fought, the
victory achieved.
We do not care to take the lead, and stand
the brush and brunt
At lifting we're failure, but we're splendid
on the grunt.
And there are others, so we find, as on our
way we jog,
Who want to do the lifting on the small end
of the log.
They do a lot of blowing and they strive to
make it known
That were there no one else to help, they d
lift it all alone.
If talking were effective there are scores and
scores of men
Who'd move mountain off its base and
move it back again.
But a class, to state it plain, in language
true and blunt,
They're never worth cent to lift, for all they
do is grunt.
