Beneficial Effects of Open Air Life on 6
Hereditary Subject.

Beneficial Effects OF open alr Lie on 3
Hereditary Subject.
DR.. Henry L. Bowditch has given the CHI
natologfral association az account OF the
treatment which seems to have ceanssracted
a strong tendency to consumption ia his owa
family. In 1893 his father, then S5 years old,
was undoubtedly Threatened with consump-
ton. Oh August % Of that ysar, when thus
i'll, he started from Salen, Msss:, with a
friend as his companion sad driver, in an
open one horse chaisa, for tour through
New ENGLAND. The trip lasted tairty days
and covered 7S4 hliies. During she time he
passed from the deepest mental discourage
mens and physical weakness through all
stages Of feeling up TO real enjoyment Of
life. His Journey. though beneftiHg him i'm
mensely probably did not wholly care him,
but it proved to him the absolute need he had
of regular daily physical, open air exercise.
Afterward, under walks of one and a half
to two miles, taken three times daily all pull
monary troubles disappeared He diod, thirty
years after the journey, from carcinoma of
the stomach his lungs being normal, except
that one presented evidences Of an ancient
eicatrix at its apgx.
He prescribed for his children the same
regular out of door exercise which had been
so beneficial to him AS soon as they were
old enough they were required to take daily
morning walks of about a mile and@a half.
If at any time they were observed to be
dropping; they were taken from school and
sent into the country to have farm life and
out Of door play to their hearts content In
consequences of this early instruction, all his
descendants have become thoroughly i'm
pressed with the advantages OF daily walk
ing, of summer vacations In the country,
and Of camping out, ETC., among the noun
tains Dr. Bowditchs father had married
his cousin, who, after long frvaHdisn, died
of chronic phthisis in 1884 Certainly CON
sanguineous union of two eonsumpJlves fore
boded nothing but evil.
Yet, of their eight children, SIX are either
now alive or they arrived at adult age, mar
ried, and have had children and grandchil
dren, but not trace of phthisis has appeared
in any Of these ninety three persons.
Dr. .Bowditch sees nothing but the influ-
ence of out of door life to which this ifnnnu-
nifty Of hts family from consumption can be
proper precau ions, in his practice for years,
and says, In conclusion: II have no objection
to drugs, properly chosen; but If the choice
were given to me to stay in the house and
use medicines, or to live constantly in the
open air without them, l should infinitely
prefer the latter course in case of my being
threatened with pulmonary consumption -

When II EIlrt.

An army surgeon in the late civil war had
occasion to lance an abscess for a poor fellow
at Camp Douglas, says the Medical Neics, and
as the sore was obstinate it became necessary
to use the knife twice. The operation was nc
very painful one, but the patient declared that
it had nearly killed him, and when a third re-
sort to the lancet was proposed he protested
that be could never go through the operation
alive.
The surgeon promised to make it easy for
him, and. calling up few of the loungers, or
dered one Of them to hold his hands close over
the patients eyes and two others to grasp his
hands firmly.
This arrangement" explained the doctor
lis said to prevent pain in such an operation
Now lie perfectly quiet, and when say Now
prepare yourself"
The surgeon at once began quietly with hi.
work and in a short time had completed the
operation without the least trouble the patient
lying as quiet as though in sleep.
When all was done the surgeon laid aside the
knife and said Now" Such roar came from
the lips of the sick man as seldom is heard from
a human being. He struggled to free himself
yelling, 20, doctor you're killing me!'
Shouts OF laughter soon drowned his cries
and he was told that the operation had bee n al
over before the signal was given. 1t was a good
joke, but it is doubtful if the poor fellow could
ever be made to believe that he did not fee
actual pain after the fatal Now"

supt. Porter's Census.

Mr. Porter, the superintendent OF the
census, has spent nearly SS.000,0O0 in GEN.
sus work, and vast sum will be required
to complete the job. Aud, judging from
the newspaper criticisms, the census is far
from being a satisfactory one. 1t is full of
mistakes. or, at least, it is alleged to he,
and there will be great hesitation in using
| the information which it furnishes.
When the returns of population of cities
were published they were attacked in mauy
parts of the country. New York, in par
ticular, declared that her enumeration was
at least 200, 900 short.
The other day the assessed wealth of diff
ferent states was published. 1t appears
from the returns that the wealth of Illinois
| in the last ten years has declined over $751;
900. There are very few people who
will believe that Illinois is not as rich as
she was decade ago. Her chief city, Chi
cago. has grown marvelously, and all her
other cities have had a very considerable
increase in wealth and population. And
what makes the alleged decrease in Illinois
wealth appear to be all the more remark
able is the increase in the wealth of H.
diana, an adjacent state, of over $55, 900, 900.
To all appearances Illinois has enjoyed as
great prosperity as Indiana within the last
ten years. The only reasonable conclusion
is that the census returns with respect to
Illinois are incorrect.
And the returns make it appear that
South Carolina has moved backward in
stead of forward. The NelCS and Courier
shows, however. that that state has made
an immense stride forward in material pros
perity.
1t is expected that mistakes will be made
by those who gather information for the
census, but such glaring mistakes as some
which have been pointed out are lnexcusa>
bic. Supt Porter's newspaper friends have
attempted to defend him when he has been
attacked. but they have had so little to go
upon in most cases that what they have
said has only confirmed the popular impress
sion that the census is far from being what
it should be.

Own amite and Eareor Bars.

Tho success which has attended the ex-
periments with dynamite in deepening the
water on the bar at the mouth of the harbor
| of Brunswick has excited good deal OF in
terest AT Fernandina and jacksonville. The
diver who conducted the dynamite expert
ments at Brunswick has gone to Fernandina
70 make experiments on the bar at that
ulacs, and he may be invited to make ex~
/ perinents on the Jacksonville bar. 1t
/ is a question, however, whether the
! bar at the mouth of the harbor
of the latter place could be affected
| benehcially with dynamite. It is a sand
| bar, and shifting one. The material re-
moved by meaps Of dynamite, therefore.
would be quickly replaced. And, besides,
the bar is sometimes in one place and
sometimes in another. 1t would seem, there
fore, as il Jacksonville would have to de-
pend upon jetties.
The Brunswick aud Fernandina bars are
composed Of clay and shells. They are hard
and permanent, and it is not q very difficult
matter to cut channels through them. But
would channels cut through them remain
open! That Is a question that is yet to be
determined. The experiments which have
been made on the Brunswick bar have in
creased the depth of water there about three
| feet 1t is probable that before the expert
ments are renewed there will be a delay of
a month or two for the purpose of determin-
ing whether the newly made channel will
become filed up by deposits. In times past
the bar has been deepened by machines
| which cut down its crest, but the improve
ment thus effected was not permanent In
| view of the fact that the channel opened by
| dynamite is narrower than the ones made
by other means there may be a current
through it of sufficient strength to keep it
| open permanently.
| A correspondent of the Times Union
calls attention to the fact that the use of
explosives in deepening water on bars was
suggested more than twenty years ago by
| Prof Holmes of Charleston. In communi-
cations to the Charleston Chamber of Com
MERGE he advocated the blasting of chan
mel through the bar which obstructs the
| entrance 20 the harbor of that city. His
suggestions were not acted upon, however.
Why it was not does not appear. Doubt
less the engineers who were consulted about
| ~ ulu HOL TeRdIu IL WIFI tdNOT. Dub IL Lhc
Improvement at Brunswick should prove to
be permanent one, dynamite may be used
at Charleston, and that city will have cause
to regret that so little attention was paid to
the suggestion Of Prof Holmes.
AS already stated, Jacksonville is not so
| deeply interested as some other South At
lantic coast cities in the experiments with
dynamite The improvement she wants at
present is deeper water in her river. She
has already about twenty feet on her bar,
but only about thirteen in her river. And
| the material that must be removed from the
river to give her a deeper channel is of
kind that dynamite would not have much
effect upon. 1t looks very much as if she
would have to continue to depend upon
jetties and dredging machines.
