Sanitary Day.

The board of health of Pennsylvania
will ask the legislature to fix in that
state one day in the year which shall be
called Sanitary Day" 1t will be SINH
lar to the Forestry Day already estab-
lished in Pennsylvania and other states.
The people will gather to sort of picnic.
The school children will march proba-
bly,, and there will be music, waving
banners, and then the most eloquent
speakers that can be mustered will in
truct the throngs on the art of keeping
in health by means of cleanliness, good
air and good food.
Not the least entertaining Of the ex-
ercises of the day might be the object
lessons which could be given. There
should be caught and placed conspicu-
ously on exhibition the man who never
took bath in his life but once, and
then he accidentally fell into the river.
His stupid brain, dirty, gummy skin and
sticky hair should be especially lectured
about before the rising generation. Next
after him should be produced the fellow
who never used a toothbrush. To clinch
matters, his teeth and gums should be
examined under the microscope. A view
of the infinitesimal monsters collected
there would drive the young person Of
ordinary nervous sensibilities either to
keeping his teeth clean or to suicide
Next should come the person who
sleeps with his bedroom windows shut
tight. One Whit of the air in his room
when he leaves it in the morning would
linger in the school childs memory like
the story of the Black Hole of Calcutta.
Last of all, bring to the sanitary show
the fellow who spits. Let him-but no
By the time that the states establish an
annual sanitary day to encourage and
teach citizens and their children the
glorious results of cleaning up and keep
ing clean-by that time the fiend who
makes cuspidor out Of stairways, side
walks and car floors will be punished
with fine and imprisonment.

The Gold Cure for Drunkenness.

"Does bichloride of gold cure druuk-
enness?" asks Mr.. Henry Wood in The
Arena. He asks the question in order
that he may answer it himself He pro
duces on one hand the positive, united
testimony of a number of the most prom
inent members of the medical profession
in the world that no drug known to the
faculty will cure either the alcohol,
opium or chloral habit or any other
kind of drug taking habit or appetite
Then, on the other hand, Mr.. Wood mar
shals the army of ex-drunkards that ara
claimed to owe absolute reformation and
redemption to the gold cure. 1t is as
serted for the gold cure that no less than
10000 reformed drunkards stand today
as evidence Of its merits. From the best
obtainable statistics only per cent. of
those treated by the Kelley method re-
lapse Mr.. Wood tells us. The Chicago
Bichloride of Gold club now numbers
400 members. OF these only six are said
to have fallen into their former habits.
The evidence seems to show in face of
the positive statements of the doctors
that it cannot be done that the gold cure
certainly does reform large number of
the patients that take it. How does it
happen2
MIR. Wood thinks it is case of a sort
of mind cure by perhaps unconscious
cerebration. A great number of men
are brought together bent on the same
idea-getting rid of the alcohol habit.
Contrary to the custom Of inebriate asy-
lums, they are put under no restraint,
but allowed to come and go at will.
The surroundings are agreeable. A pow
erful impression is made on the mind
The French professors Of the school of
Nancy cure drunkenness by hypnotism
as effectually as DR.. Kelley is believed
by many to cure it by his drug Mr..
Wood thinks the bichloride Of gold is
the fetch, SO to speak, to which the at
tention of the patient is attracted while
the benefcent unconscious psychological
process goes on in his mind. The hypo-
dermic injection Of the drug takes the
place Of the bright disk ON which the
hypnotic subject is told to fix his atten-
ton. Mr.. Woods idea is ingenious any
how,

THE NEWS OF CONGRESS.
Condensed Report of the Business in Sen.
ate and House.

SOnuenseu Report OF tne bus1neAs In sem
ate and House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The backward
state of the annual appropriation bills has
impressed itself upon Congress. The senate
is chargeable with the greater delay in this
respect. Not one of the bills has yet passed
that body, although the house has sent
over three which are ready for action. 1t
is the general expectation that the anti
option bill will come to final vote before
the middle of this week and that the ap-
propriations committee will probably take
the lead. There may be a suspension of the
order in this respect long enough to allow
debate and action upon the Cherokee out
let bill, some of the interstate commerce
bills and one or two other measures which
the committee on order of business may de-
eide to call up.
Party feeling will probably manifest it
self in the executive sessions during the
week in connection with the McComas
nomination, which is the unfinished busi-
ness when the senate closes its doors.
The silver repeal bill is the unknown
quantity in all calculations as to the bust
ness of the senate, and it may become the
live issue at any time upon motion of a
senator to proceed to its consideration, but
at this time no such purpose is openly ex-
pressed.
The probabilities are that the house dur
ing the coming week will also occupy itself
largely with the delayed appropriation
bills, and will make an effort to catch up
with the record of previous short sessions
of congress on these supply bills.

for the murder of another Indian named
"Musuuito." A gallows HAD been erect

to be tried, but from some reason, after
conviction, the spot was abandoned,
and the whole band of Indians. with
the sheriff and Nat in the center OF the
crowd, repaired to the banks Of the
Arkansas in search of q proper tree
from which to suspend their prisoner.
After little time thus spent, tall
cottonwood was found, with project

fro with great apparent pleasure, then
came to the shore, donned his blanket,
and stood ready for the last act in the
tragedy of his life.
The sheriff now told him to climb the
tree, which he commenced doing, the
officer of the law toiling up after him
with the fatal cord in his hand. Nat
reached the projecting limb, and was
desired by the sheriff to work himself
out upon it as far as he could-which
accomplished, the sheriff adjusted tho
moose around his neck and tied the
other end of the rope to the huge
branch. All these preparations were
conducted with the utmost cbolness,
and the most perfect good understand
ing existed between the sheriff and the
I1dian.
When al the arrangements were COM
pleted, the sheriff told Nat that he
would slide down the tree to the ground
and make n signal. when he, the pris-
ouer, must jump of the limb-to which
Nat cheerfully assented. The sheriff
reached the ground, and, looking mp to
