The Art Of Sewer Building Took q
I Long Time to Learn. 81
Towns must have fearfully suffered
before people learned that the houses
must be 50 far separate as to allow;
air. to blow between them. The
Greeks must rtainly have made their
cities and many Of their streets ex-
sceeding handsome, but their earlier
towns and even Athens were too
much crowded, and so much did they
fear jobbery among the sharp-eyed
business men OF the city that they
dared not trust anyone with money
to rebuild the place. In constanti-
nople Zeno ordered all houses to be
- feet apart all the way up, and the
projections which caused the houses
to nearly meet above were disallowed.
This WAS an effort, after a long inter-
val Of neglect. .* *.s
He attempted also to 60 further,
and ordered that no one should stop
the view of the sea from his neighbor:
This would be well in our sea- bathing
towns, where houses are built, before
others without pity, and not only is
the view destroyed, but the whole liv-
ing Of the families who possessed it
and to whom the view paid the rent.
But the laws are OF no value unless a
strong and vigilant executive attends
to them. Constantinople became so
bad that it's destruction by fire was
scarcely deemed a. misfortune.
How infected by their own crowdine
the Romans must have been when the
houses were ordered to be at least five
feet apart and not more than nine
stories hight Augustus said they
should not exceed 70 feet in height,
and Traian made the limit so. The
]aborious proofs that sewer air is I'm.
wholesome have taken commissions
and boards OF health many years Of
hard labor in our time, but the whole
is as clearly recognized in "Justinian' Z
Digest, in quotation from Ulpian
that it is evident that the question was
then past all dispute.-Ft1om the

QUEER HISTORIC TABLETS.

An Interesting Discovery Chron,-
cled From an illinois Farm.
What is believed to be g. most inn
portant and valuable historical~dis-
covery was made on a farm three
miles northwest Of La Harpe, says
La Harpe, ILL.,, special to the St. Louis
Gobe-Democrat, and interest is
added to the find from the fact that
some time in October last two hunt
ers had discovered at the same spot
two sand tablets bearing strange in
scriptions. The recent find is that of
a sandstone tablet bearing q mum Der
of letters hewn in the stone. The
lettering is in Roman capitals nearly
an inch in length. The letters are as

Stars Indicate the position of q
curious character that cannot be
transmitted, but which resembles an
inverted z or a. capital L. The dagger
indicates q figure similar to the
capital E, although the middle cross
is wanting. The above strange letters
are fac-simile of the original in the
stone from tissue paper impression.
Hon. J. II. Hungate will forward the
tablet to the Smithsonian Institution
at Washington, where the other two
tablets were sent by him several
months ago. The other two tablets,
which were found in virgin soil, under
the root of an old tree, contained the
following lettering: On one was "Jun
IL, 17l2, I puts Hop in Cookbook
hop in tbs will Id IT," On the other
stone tablet was this inscription:
@"Tmti in 80" =
The theory advanced at the time
was that the stone tablets were en-
graved by one or more OF La Sale or
Tonti's followers who had revolted
from their commander at Fort Creve
Ceur, near where Peoria now is, in
1857. 1t was thought that Unit was
meant for Tonti. Mr.. .Hungate has
secured the af6davits. of men who
made the discovery touching the
genuineness of the find, and will give
the authorities at Washington a
chance to unrayel the strange letter

The Rowland Celebration.

EDITOR HERALD: .i.z .4Ez:
The writer accepted cordial invita-
ton from our genial friend, John Drouil-
lard, to celebrate the Glorious Fourth at
his home-Hovland. Accordingly we
started about one o'clock p. M, on the
third, and after delightful sail arrived
at Rowland at p. m. We met our old
friend AS. Carlson and John jacobson
at the landing and started out to view
the town, which is beautifully. located at
the mouth of Chicago Bay creek. How
land is q young hamlet, grown almostvto
the proportions of a village. They have
a comfortable school house, where pre-
sides Mrs. Lester, very pleasant lady,
and, I should judge, a very successful
teacher as she returns to teach another
term. The school has about fifteen pu
pills. The only other public building I
observed was the town hall, which would
be a credit to much larger village and
which was built entirely by private sub
scription. T..
The Fourth was beautiful day. The
forenoon we spent in wandering about
town, enjoying the fresh lake breeze and
it's cold, sparkling water.
The afternoon was spent III watching
boat races until about three O'Clock when
T the musicians appeared at the hall and
dancing commenced and continued until
supper time. After supper we again as
sembled at the hall and dancing was
continued It'll the we sma' hours, with
the exception of recess when the Dix

from the battery down the boys legs
and were connected with the spurs in

battery the rider could give the horse
a series Of shocks of electricity. He
could continue to stick electric needles
into him. The influence OF the elec-

have been frequently used at both

The greatest strike the Northwest has
ever seen has been in progress for the
past two weeks. It originated with the
Pu!lm IN car works. Pullman had dis
pute with his employees about wages.
The men very sensibly did not attempt
to dictate terms to the magnate; they
merely asked that the matter be settled
by arbitration. Pullman refused to arhi-
trate. The American Railway Union
then took hand and declared boycott
against Pullman cars on every road. As
aresnlt of the tie-up of the Pullman
cars, over $4,000 men are oat of employ
mept on roads centering at Chicago.
This army of unemployed will doubtless
have to pay pretty dearly for their sym
patby for the Pullman strikers, but will
feel amply repaid if the sleeping car
magnate is brought to terms. :, # +. p

Advice From Ex-Gov. Hoard Ia
At a recent meeting Of the New
Jersey board OF agriculture, ex-Gov.
Hoard, speaking on the dairy ques-
ton, said that many farmers try. to
raise q general cow" instead of breed
ing it for one specific purpose, such as
either beef or milk. He said that in the
best dairy township in New York the
farmers were losing $25, 900 annually
on their 5000 cows, while in one
county the cows at one time averag-
ed 50 pounds Of butter 9 year, there
are many counties where the yearly
yield is from 800 to 400 pounds each.
He summed UP the good points of a.
dairy COW into large nostril, large
NUDE, full, prominent eye, large
brain, feminine neck, thin shoulder
blades, fiat, sloping ribs, and large
pelvic arch, the under reaching wellup'
