The fact was there WAS great cOrnCrib
in Egypt. The people Of Egypt have been
largely taxed in all ages, at the present
time paying between ~ and 50 per cent. OF
their products to the government. No
wonder in that time they had a large corn
crib, and it was full. To that crib they
came from he regions round about-thuee
who were famIs hcd-sCme paying for corn
in money; when the money was exhausted,
paying for the corn in sheep and cattle and
horses and camcls, and when they were
exhausted, then selling their own bodies
and their families into slavery.

To Prevent DIphtheria.

DR.. Chancellor, Secretary of the
State Board of Health, says:
"The poison of measles, scarlet
fever, diptheria, typhoid fever, &c. :,
is probably never wholly extinct in
any community where these dis
eases have once prevailed, but their
epidemic prevalence occurs only in
certain cycles when the surround
ings are favorable for their spread.
Such conditions we must diligently
avoid, and Of all the means of doing
so, cleanliness has been found to be
the most direct and trustworthy.
People who live in the country or
small towns imagine that they are
exempt from the unhealthy condi-
tions. This is great mistake.
The refuse products of a single
family neglected for a few weeks or
months will almost certainly breed
mischief, and if neglected for a
long period will render the prem
Uses as foul as the worst spot in Il
crowded city. A tainted atmos-
phere may be so poisoned that a
very little introduced into Il bed
room, So little as to be quite imper-
ceptible to the nose, may give ty-
phoid fever, diphthcria or scarlet
fever to a person sleeping there.
We do not content ourselves with
excluding the great majority of
sparks from powder magazine
We do our best that no one shall
enter. SO our endcavor must be
that no tainted air shall exist in OF
around our dwellings. Nothing
perfectly clean can contain germ
of disease. Although perfect
cleanliness may be an unattainable
ideal, still it is an ideal after which
we should strive. Pure air, clean
waite, rapid removal Of all refuse OF
foul matters are the great desid-
erata for a healthy home.''

The Editor and the Preacher,

Some time ago the editor of the

Of Mt. Josiah church exchanged
places not only in nominal way,
but made an actual transfer of
property. We take the following

the change had taken place:

simply this: that the English horse,
employed in the streets of the city

twice as much work as. the Ameri-

deniable fact. No man can fail to

How does he do 1t? Why does he
do it? These are most important
questions to an American. Is the
English horse better than the Amer

town were as good as Main street is

hundreds of horses to

to be filled, over sand that should |
be hardened, through mud that
ought not to be permitted to exist.

them. 1t would be demonstrably |
cheaper to have good roads than
poor ones. 1t is so here. A road
