Health Better than Wealth.

Dr. A. Symons Eccles has struck the
keynote of radical Improvement in the
general health of city communities
when he says that the most potent fac
tor of present day ailments is the abey-
ance into which the muscular system is
allowed to fall by jewellers in cities,
who are daily becoming more and more
dependent on artificial means of loco
motion and labor saving apparatus, I'M
til disorders of digestion and nervous
maladies are now as common among
the comparatively poor as they are
among the wealthy. The rich man en-
deavors to overcome the mischief
wrought by his sedentary life by horse
back exercise or golf, but the poorer
man, who is unable to afford these recre-
ations, neglects his muscular develop
ment and invariably tumbles into his
train or mounts his street car rather
than waste the time necessary for
brisk walk or half hour in the gym
nasium.
The popularity of the bicycle has
tended to counterfeit the disuse of mus
Giles engendered in large proportion of
town residents, but there are still num-
bers of persons of both sexes who re-
quire vigorous muscular exercise in Or
der to maintain health. Women are
the victims of modern, social and com
mercial changes almost if not quite as
much as men. The Capitalization of
many domestic industries may have i'm
proved the character of the products
thus manufactured or of the work per-
formed, but when bread was made and
washing was done at home the female
members of many families fairly well
off, but not too richly endowed with
this worlds goods, were proitably en-
ployed in kneading the dough and iron
ing the linen. One of the results of
this general dissemination to take the
amount of exercise essential to health
is the revival of a practice which is re-
corded in the earliest medical papyrus
in the British museum.
The introduction of massage may be
regarded as specific evidence of the ten
dency in these latter days to the neglect
of muscular exercise, and DR.. Eccles
holds that if it be true that the abey-
ance of function in certain glands Is
productive of diseases which can be
cured by the injection of organic llq-
uids derived from similar source
and modern research has established this
belief-much more is it evidently true
that the failure to employ the great bulk
of muscular tissue, which is so large a
portion of the human frame, will, and
invariably does, give rise to disordered
function and altered structure in the
other organs and tissues of the body,
which are interdependent on the activ-
ity of the muscles and each other. Men
tai and nervous overstrain is rarely
disassociated from muscular disuse and
flaccidity. The burden of DR.. Eccles
exhortation Is: Even if you make a
little less money, take more exercise.
You will save the difference in doctors
bills and bring more happiness not only
into your own life, but into other peo-
ple's. "-PittSburgh Dispatch.

Thirty Years Ago.

More than thirty years ago two badly
shattered, rn-out and weary remnants
of what had been day or two before
two magnificently equipped and splendid
armies, confronted each other in front
of Chattanooga. The two preceding
days they had spent in fighting, with
obstinate courage and consummate skill,
battle which official figures show was,
when the nmbers engaged are taken
into consideration, the bloodiest of the
modern times. 1t was battle fought
in the rough hills and grassy glades of
northern Georgia. field on which
nature had placed unusual obstacles to
that sort of work, making it exceedingly
difficult for the antagonists to get at
each other. The wild, fierce determi-
nation to do so, however, displayed on
both sides, would alone have made the
battle unique, if many other things had
not contributed to give it peculiar
distinction.
In the two armies, of which the
Union strength was about $4,000 and
the Confederate perhaps 10000, it is
estimated that 80 per cent of the COM
batants were native Americans. I'm
der Bragg and Longstreet were men
who had fought at Shiloh, Stone River
Iuka, Vicksburg, through all the cam
paigns of the Army of the Potomac.
Under Rosecrans were the veterans of
Shiloh, Perryville, Stone River and
hundred minor affairs.
The one army was fighting to destroy
the republic established by Washington
and the fathers of the revolution, to or
ganize government having for its chief
corner stone, as declared by Alexander
II. Stephens, the system of human
slavery. The other fought to secure
the perpetuation of the governmen mt of
Washington and the fathers, to wipe
the stain of human slavery off the fame
of the republic, to secure the blessings
of free institutions,to not only to secure
themselves and their children, and all
who might come hither to enjoy them,
but to the liberty loving of all lands
and all peoples who might draw strength
from the examples set in the new world.
Thirty years ago the issue rested in
bitter doubt, but there was no sign of
flinching in the men who fought for the
right, and they ersevered in the strug-
gle until at last they won the victory.
For the benefit of the thousands who
have come to manhood since those days,
it seems we'll to recall, on its anniver-
sary, the cause in which the men were
engaged who fought the battle of
Chickamauga.-EGchdnge.

SOLDIERS BUDGET.
A Ballade of the Old Trooper.

The days of peace and days Of pleading
Have been with me for many year,
And further ever are receding
The daring days of blow and cheer.
Then bays and laurcls alike were near,
The victor's sword and the hasty spades,
When the sweetest music to the ear
Was the clang and clatter and clash of blades.
Oh, the daze of dust and smoke, concealing
The old brigade as we used to ride,
With sabcrs sloping, yelling, reeling,
Our stirrups touching side by side!
Now most who cheered and charged have
died.
The new day dawns the old time fades;
No more shall crashing troops collide
Mid clang and catter and clash Of blades.
When hands were clinched, and hearts were
burning,
And bugle notes were songs of praise;
The flag our vAlst, our souls outspurning
The baser thoughts of later days
These days when men are in maze
Of anxious schemes and dubious trades;
My white beard wagged in other ways,
Mid the clang and clatter and clash of blades.
L'ENvoI.
For naught to me is mart or city;
dwell with ghosts of old brigades;
Would had died with those you pity
Mid the cang and CHATTER and clash of
p. y Black in Nep York sun.

BENJAMIN Harrison and the Pension,

ave are impatient only with those
who start with a prejudice against the
soldier" said ex.President Harrison,
in his excellent address at indianapolis.
This is the point of the indictment
against this administration. 1t started
with a prejudice against the soldier;
and this prejudice was so deeply rooted
that the ordinary presumptions of the
law were reversed, and pensioners in
general were assumed to be guilty of
fraud, unless they could adduce proof
to the contrary. A certain measure of
prudence has been taught the admin
istration by the evidence of judgment
to come, if it kept on suspending pen
sioners without investigation, but its
spirit is unchanged.-Pioneer Press.

A Whistling Girl.


A whistling girl and growing hen
Never comes to no good end.
Thus, with happy disregard
OF rules for negatives and rhymes,
I've heard my dear old grandmother
Say very gravely, many times.
And of the hen it may he true.
must confess | do not know,
Because, although I've listened oft,
never CHANGED to hear one crow.
But, OF the whstling girl I've met;
And blithe as she as any bird,
And from her lips the whole day long
The merriest of thrills are heard.
Lips that kiss.shaped look when they pour
out on the air a CHEEKY strain,
As though, as some one says, rose
Had shut to be a bud again"
From task to task, with lightsome step
She hastens, whistling as she goes,
And her deft hands charm what they touch,
And order from disorder grows;
But never in such haste is she
She cannot pause a word to speak
70 grieving children, or to kiss
pretty, dimpled baby cheek.
And, spite of the old saying
Wear near my heart nut brown curl
That once danced lightly to the tunes
OF a light-hearted whistling girl
girl who soon I'll call my own,
My wife, my sweetheart, and my friend;
And with me she shall happily,
Please heaven, live till life shall end.

The Walls of Jerusalem.

The lofty wall of Jerusalem and the
massive towers of the citadel are i'm
mediately before us. We are on the
outer slope Of Mount Zion, the sanctu-
airy and the abode of David. The pom
derous blocks which form the lower
strata of tho wall might have been
shaped and put in place by some pre-
historic race Of giants. More than al
most anything else to be found around
Jerusalem, or within, this wall bears
an appearance of great antiquity. We
can easily believe that its foundations
were laid in the time of David though
its upper portions are unquestionably
modern.
The books vary. One says it was the
work of Sultan Suleiman in the six
teenth century, another that it was
erected much earlier, and my guide,
most intelligent and well informed Jew
of Hungarian origin, told me that it
was built by the crusaders after they
had got possession, for the purpose of
protecting the inhabitants against the
rascally Arabs, who would ride up in
small parties, rob some rich family and
be off with their plumber before any
thing could be done to stop them. But,
however this may be, the wall from
10 to 20 feet in height, fully incloses
the town, and although it could soon be
knocked to pieces by 10 FOUNDER can
non it stands in good order solid enough
for all peaceful purposes, and perfectly
separates the city from the country
about it. Charles 4. Dana, IN Nc
