GOOD HABITS NOT ALL.

DR.. W. S. Searle writes very entertainingly
of popular errors about health in the current
number of the North american ReyieaU, and
the unregenerate are particularly likely to
enjoy the perusal of the passage touching
upon the exceedingly common notion that
length of life is controlled by habits, and
that a careful observance of what are called
good habits must necessarily insure to every
one longevity. The man whose habits are
not very good very seldom has word said
for him by the scientists. Most doctors OF
medicine, like their brethren of divinity, are
fond of consigning the irregular Philistine
to the flames by summary process of reason
ing.
DR.. Searle has considerable evidence to
produce in support of his claim that good
habits are not necessarily safeguards of
health. He says that it was his fortune to
know a man who believed that by practic-
Ing rigid self-denial he might avoid sick
ness, and prolong his life to an indefinite
extent This man of good habits carried out
severe course of life with more than Or
dinary consistency and intelligence. His
income enabled him to completely realize
his ideal. lie trained his body carefully
and regularly; he had no small vices" nor
great ones; he ate the plainest food, but it
was always Of the best. we'll prepared and
abundant. Not one of those habits which
are esteemed good was neglected, and those
which are called bad were stunned with alb
horrence. He boasted that he was never
sick. and that he would live to celebrate his
one hundredth birthday.
He had neighbor of the most selfindul-
gent kind. He also was man of wealth,
who took no exercise beyond an occasional
pleasure drive, who uniformly ate a hot and
rich supper at 10 o'clock at night. and OF
whom it was asserted that, though never
drunk, he was rarely. if ever, perfectly
sober. The former of these gentlemen died
at 64; the latter at g.
But DR.. Searle does not desire that the
inference should he drawn that irregular
habits are beneficial to mans health. His
theorem is not that there are no absolutely
good and absolutely bad habits; nor that
they have not an influence upon longevity;
but that this influence is much less than is
customarily supposed-so small, indeed, as
hardly to be taken into account when COM
pared with that of heredity.

NO WONDER HE sW0RE.

People Cannot Stand Having Their Toes
Trumped on Under Any Circumstances.
An East End cable car was crowded the
other day. and with one exception every one in
it was tired. warm and cross.
The men were in that beligerent condition
that fatigue and heat usually results in with
them and did not with any alacrity give up
their seats to the fair ones, who in their turn
expressed on their faces the contempt they
felt for the sturdy sex. Handkerchiefs were
in constant'use to remove the great beads of
perspiration that in spite of everything would
gather upon the brows of all alike.
In one corner near the door was the excep-
ton. portly gentleman of pleasing address,
whose face was a mirror of all the cardinal
virtues and the happiness and contentment
shining out from the mild blue eyes made mad
with envy the sweltering humanity who gazed
upon him. A burly mechanic started for the
door and on his way planted one of his very sub
stantial extensive feet upon a neatly polished
shoe of the sanity individual.
The Indian warwhoop that resounded
through the car frightened the mechanic into
an exit more rapid than graceful, while the
benign-looklDg parsonage picked up his foot,
and, nursing it gently, proceeded to discharge
q volley of oaths that would have discounte-
nanced professional, much to the surprise of
the passengers and the conductor, who in
dulged in audible laughter that further en-
ragged the old gentleman until the glances of
indignation and anger he turned upon them
were far more penetrating than the rays Of Old
Sol.

A TERRIBLE CANUCK.

If ever the United States and Canada get
to fighting we shall have to keep sharp
look out for Colonel Gray, of the Toronto
militia. 1t is clear that Colonel Gray is q
ferocious fellow. An American flag
futtered among a thousand others at the
Industrial Exhibition in Toronto. Colonel
Gray saw it, and without moments delay
he ordered the Stars and Stripes TO be re-
moved. 1he flag was taken down, but
Manager Hill OF the Exposition-s pusillan-
imous being who does not know that it is
cowardly to be polite to friendly nation
restored the Stars and Stripes to its place of
honor. The Iion-hearted Gray again de-
manded the removal of what he called IAN
alien peoples flag, but Manager Hill re-
fused to insult the American visitors to the
Exposition. What the heroic brigadier of
Canadian militia will do next under the
circumstances it is hard to say. 1t might
be compatible with his peculiar stripe of
daring to remove the flag with his own
hands. On Canadion soil such deed might
be done with safety possibly.
We do not doubt that most Canadians
will regard the conduct of such a snarling
cur as contemplate. The Pittsburg Ex-
position is run on most patriotic lines,
but the flags of all nations are to be found
there, and among them one that Colonel
Gray processes to honor. The trouble is that
some towards are even afraid of courtesy.

PITTsBURa. FRIDAY. SEPT. II, 1890.
MORE SCHOOLS NEEDED,

The public schools of Pittsburg and AL
legheny are as a rule overcrowded. THE
DISPATCH presents a general review of the
scholastic situation in its columns this morn
ing. 1t will be seen that a great increase
has taken place in the number Of children
seeking the benefits of free education in
Pfttsburg. Secretary Reisfar, Of the Gen.
trail Board of Education, is authority for
the statement that whereas 5000 children
were on the public school rolls in Pittsburg
last June there are now $4,000 approx
mately. This increase is abnormal, and as
- an indication of the healthy growth Of
Pittsburg population is gratifying. Them
crease in the attendance at the Allegheny
City schools is propOrtionately large.
The existing school buildings are in many
instances inadequate to the enlarged de-
mand upon their capacity. The DIS
PATcH's reporter discovered yesterday that
many school rooms were crowded to de-
gree dangerous to the children's health.
Sixty, seventy or even eighty scholars, for
instance, were found in rooms intended and
1t w SOubdAh but lOAbls IL
school, but especially in those of the So
called suburban wards, the rooms are too
full for health. OF course the teachers are
likewise handicapped by the unwieldy size
of their classes, and the wheels of the educa-
tional machine are clogged.
The Central Board of Education in Pitts
burg is doing its best to provide additional
school buildings where they are most needed,
and twenty-five teachers have been added to
the staff. 1t is satisfactory to learn also that
the public schools here are in better shape to
meet the demands made upon them than
they are in New York and other large cities.
Until now Pittsburg has not, as several first
class cities have done, closed its school
doors against large body of children for
lack of room. The Pittsburg schools, how
ever, are very close to the danger line. They
are too full now for perfect safety. The
community must be prepared to provide for
the erection of more public schools at an
early day. The facts presented by THE
DISPATCH to-day deserve careful consider
afion
