DIR: CHARLES N. HAMMETT.

DIR. Hammett, when seen By Tire
Sunday gazette last evening, at his
cosy and comfortable home, G44 4
street southwest, said: This APP
poinlment is as much of surprise
to me as it is to the public. and
until this morning I had no idea
that my selection as health officer
was even under consideration
True, ! became an applicant for the
Office early in 1885, aud my APP
pointment was earnestly urged bya
number of the most prominent men
in public life, and ] did everything
an honorable man could do to Sc
cure the appointment then. |
made an earnest effort to secure
the office. but failing turned my at
tention exclusively to my profession,
and my surprise was great there
fore when | received message
summoning me this morning to the
Commissioners office, where, after
consultation, ] was rendered the
office of health officer"
To The Gazeiie's question as to
changes and reforms to be inaugu-
rated in the conduct of the Office,
DIR. Hammctt said: Il have given
the question Of the District much
thought, and have pronounced
views relative 10 the same, but as |
have not been officially notified of
my appointment, | think it would
be indicate for me TO express them
nj this time. ! may say, however,
that | shall give the people of the
District my best endeavorys to make
the health department mode one.
and if | fail in so doing it will not
be because of lack of earnest effort.
| am, of course, greatly gratified at
the honor conferred Oh me, and
may be pardoned when ] say | be-
licyc am fully capable of perform
ing the duties of the office"
The Ga1eite then said: doctor.
you are Democrat, ] believe. =
"Ycs SIR" he replied, ''Of the old
school, but this of course has had
nothing to do with the appoint
ment, and if it had. should have
declined it"

The world is tolerably we'll mapped
out as to diseases. The colored charts
show US where we may most probably
dwell with malaria, with consumption
or with general debility. We study,
also, the adaptability of plants to differ
ent climatic conditions But our knowl-
edge of the relation of man to climate is
still far from scientihc-that is to say,
of the influence of climate upon charac-
ter and conduct. To come to detail,
what, for instance, do we know Of the
effect Of climate upon veracity. There
are portions of the earth's surface where
the inhabitants regard truth as luxury
seldom to be INDUCED in; in others the
mind seems rather inclined to truthful
ness.
Whether the difference is owing to
race or climate our observations do not
yet enable US to determine. There is a
popular notion that the habit of prevari-
cation goes along with warmth. or with
a facilitating atmosphere, and that cold
is tonic, a sort of stimulant for truth
fulness We indeed have in the phrase
''the cold truth" recognition of this.
We say that the northern latitudes nurse
the rugged virtue of veracity.-Charles
Dudley Warner in Harper's.

A Poor Man on Tax DAYS.

City Counselor VIII G.. Marshall had
big case just before he went into his
office, and while it was pending he had
to present heavy bond for his client to
the court. The client brought him q
friend, who told Marshall he was worth
500. 600 in unincumbered real estate.
At the proper time Marshall brought
him before the court and put him on
the stand
Glow much are you WORTH" he asked
him. The bondsman hesitated and began
to wriggle uneasily in his chair. "Oh,
well, you're worth 500, 000in real estate,
l suppose" said Marshall.
Good gracious, mol Not half Of
that" exclaimed the witness. 81 guess
l am worth about $4,000"
Marshall was astonished beyond meas
ure, and had to ask the indulgence of the
court while he sought another bonds
man. Meeting hisman outside the court
room afterward, he asked him warmly
what he meant by such contradictory
statements.
81 am worth 100000" said the man
cody, ''but you don't suppose I'm fool
enough to declare it in court? I've been
reporting SO, 900 to the assessor straight
along, and they'd be after me for back
taxes if told how much / was worth on
the stand. didn't know you was going
to put me on the stand or l should have

The Secret of Good Mountain Climbing

The Secret OF Good Mountain Climbing.
The secret Of the climbing of the hunt
ers is that they trust their feet as much
as their hands To plant their nailed
shoots all they ask in any place. They
go steadily, but slowly, and rest often,
so as TO avoid climbing when exhausted
or breathless. A tired or winded man
will tumble, slip and be in danger where
he would pass easily when fresh. The
apprentice in this particular hunt found
the greatest difficulty in crossing chsos.
A chaos Is a steep slope covered with
blocks of stone ranging from hundred
pounds to many tons
There are ugly holes, big and little,
between them Their edges are gener-
ally sharp To the rapid passer, as he
looks down at his feet, they appear,
without exception, very sharp. In add
ton, some Of them are "wobblers." The
dufer passed several unpleasant quarters
Of an hour in following the hunter, eI-
cited by the proximity Of game, over
these places, and VIII always carry on
his leg souvenir Of one OF them.-Paul
van Dyke in Scribner's.
