The Duty of RESIGNATION.

People in afiiction say queer things,
and it is wisely provided no doubt that
at such times they are not considered
strictly accountable. There is certainly
a peculiar flavor in a remark made by q
middle aged widow who had just buried
her second husband. AS is usual in such
cases, interested friends were making
such consolatory remarks as occurred to
them, dwelling, after the regulation
fashion, upon the duty Of resignation
under the circumstances. "Oh, yes, !"
the weeping widow murmured. ri

Near the flag tower at Osborne and

the palace is charming garden, which
contains a very large myrtle tree grown
from sprig taken out of the wedding
bouquet of the princess royal in 1858.
Each royal bride has since carried a
piece Of myrtle from the bush in her
bouquet on her wedding day, and two
bits were sent to Coburg for the use Of
Princess Victoria Melita. Even the
Duchess Of Coburg had some of the nyr-
tie from Osborne in her bouquet when
she was married, the queen having sent
the pieces all the way to st. Petersburg

Sewer Gas.

Occasionally the assertion is heard
that the hcalthiest of all occupations is
that Of sewer scavenging. In large cities
the men, in spite Of their filthy work,
are proverbially healthy. Mr.. Laws, a
chemist, who has been employed in spe-
cial Investigations in the sewers by the
London city council, has proved in a
huge report that sewer gas is all but in
nocent of distributing bacteria Of any
kind, and certainly not those which are
pathogenic The sewage contains mi
crobes Of various kinds in abundance,
but tho gas itself is much freer from
these dreaded organisms than the out
er air of the street. OF all this he
gives most convincing proof, and so
challenges the theories which lay to the
account Of sewer gas train of horrible
ravages on health. This is startling
revelation and suggests that fresh in
quiry is needed into the real causes of
SO much illness traceable to drains and
foul odors. San Francisco Call.
