committee.
A like communication, containing the
same unwarranted charge OF the sup
preston of facts and a like unmerited
threat, has been received by Health
Officer Jepson. II Is the evident pur-
pose Of the writer and signers of these
questionable epistles 10 force from the
health authorities and newspapers Of
Wheeing-not the truth, for this has
been published-but some confirmation
of the sensational and unfounded re-
ports which have been current in COM
munities outside the city during the
past two or three months. II is a
further fair presumption, warranted
by the spirit and language of these let
tiers, that unless some such admissions
are made, the charge OF Withholding
facts will be reiterated and some further
effort made to make good the threat
that other means will be found to pro-
mulgate the truth.
This particular species of foolishness
will scarcely be regarded seriously by
any one. If the people Of McMechen
circulate and believe stories, either Of
their own imagery or those brought
there by irresponsible people. the
Mayor or Health Officer, if they have
one, can ascertain the facts in FIVE mir
utes by telephoning the Health Officer
during his office hours at the City Hall,
or at other times at his residence. He
has always gladly responded TO enquir-
les of this sort in the past, and doubt
less will continue to do so in The flu
ture. The course here suggested would
be direct, simple, inexpensive and
trustworthy, and would render useless
either the purchase of postage stamps
or the labor of penning letters of a
threatening and altogether questionable
nature. At all events, this course
might be given fair trial.
AS to newspaper publications, it is
absurd to further pursue the effort to
force any sort of admissions not in ac-
cordance with the facts from This paper.
All publications made by the Register
regarding the disease have set forth the
exact situation, as obtained from The
Health Officer, whence a information
Of a reliable nature must necessarily
come. If these publications do not
tally with the reports of sensationalists,
it cannot well be helped.
The situation here at present is not
at all whadit is alleged TO be by out-of-
town people, and is not nearly as bad
as It has been in the past. There IS no
anxiety, save in a small portion of the
Eighth ward, where the people, per-
haps justly, are dissatisfied with the
precautions taken In one or two cases
By the health authorities. There has
not been a new case for three days,
and several patients are well and reads
to be discharged. With this the Nc
Meohen committee will have to be con-
tent-unless they conclude to make
telephone enquiries of the Health Off
Ger. which might have been done in
the past at the expense Of five minutes
time.

ACCOUNTABLE ILLUMINATING GAS.
To the Editor of the Register:
Sir:-The city gas works has recent
~ been very prominently before the
public. and The subject of gas manufac-
ture has been rather thoroughly dis
cussed. A new method Of making gas
is now in progress and a change has
recently been made in the Board Of
Trustees. There has been a great deal
CT gas" concerning the city gas works
in its various phases or features, polit-
ically. financially and otherwise, but
there has been very little said concern
ing the quality of gas that consumers
are obliged to use, and il is just in the
line of argument to enter a protest
against the abominable stuff that finds
its way TO the end of a gas burner. Thu
aforesaid stuff" reminds one more Of
the place called the lower regions, so
full Of sulphur or other disagreeable
odors. that is diffused with the burning,
instead of the parlor or bed room of a
home on earth. The writer of this ar
ticle has had 4 very unpleasant eXper-
fence for the last two weeks, the SUI
phur from the Illuminating gas being
so strong that one can hardly stay in
the house where it is used.
Upon making inquiries Of others the
same complaints have been made. Can
not the new Board or its superintend-
emit give us a better quality of gas and
help to make mans home a little
pleasanter than it has been for some
time past?

Life at Harvard College From the English
Point of View.

EOint Oh view
The student life of America is emil
nently an American institution. 1t has
grown mp III an odd compound of native
manners ard foreign influences, which
form an essentially new product. Ii is a
good deal more complex in its organiza-
tion than anything known on the Isis or
the Cam. There is more details in it,
and consequently less breadth of effect.
The university organizations are in
Vulnerable Men are banded together in
college clubs for every conceivable pur-
pose of study or amusement Their bond
of union may be their attempt TO talk
Greek with the accent of modern Attica,
or it may be only passion for domi-
nos, but it has all the notes of institu-
ton in its machinery of committee,
president and secretaries. Great variety
of life comes from the differences in for
tune among the students, but of late
years there has been laudable attempt
ON the part Of the university and college
authorities TO introduce more uniform
simplicity. Plain living is the cry, and
with this secured it is believed the
thinking will take care of itself.
AT Harvard some time ago Professor
Palmer tried TO discover how far the liv-
ing had departed from the philosophic
standard by asking some hundreds OF
students for return of their annual ex-
penditure. The answers showed that
Harvard at least had nothing to be
ashamed of. Many of the students, less
than a fourth, spent less than el3O q
year; some less than e100. The average
probably did not amount to the 5000 a
year which the professor regards as an
entirely adequate allowance for both
ease and refinement. Yale is less costly
than Harvard, so these institutions at
least are not open to the reproach that
they have introduced the millionaire in
to American university lite.-London

OFFICIAL WHIPPING.
How Boy Criminals are Punished b.
Thrashing In England.

Boys who are found guilty Of minor
Ofieases IN England are sentenced by the
judges 10 sound thrashing at the hands
Of the policeman Here is description
of il taken from an English paper:
The birch is a very different instru-
ment If torture from the cat The for
mer is made up If a number Of long
birch twigs, while the latter is really a
whip with nine knotted small cord
lashes When the cat is administered,
the prison doctor must be present, but
when the birch is put on it is only nee
essary for the inspector or superintend-
ent Of police TO witness it, although the
parents or near relatives of a boy SEN
fenced to be flogged may be present at
the castigation. When dose Of the cat
is dealt out, none but those connected
with the prison are allowed to be there.
Like the cat the birch may be made "a
very severe punishment or compare
lively trivial affair, not merely accord
ing to the number of strokes, but from
the instructions given the constable who
is told off to do the fiogging. l have
seen a boy after six strokes resemble
nothing so much as piece of raw beef
and bleeding fearfully, while l have
also seen boy after six strokes merely
a trifie red.
Some policemen dread the duty of
Jogging, and after the first two strokes
get a sharp order to shit the boy and
not play with him. +" Other constables
delight in the work and boast of their
ability to draw blood at the first stroke.
Various modes Of administering the
punishment obtain in different parts Of
the country. In some places boys are
placed face downward on form. One
constable holds his arms and head firm
", while another does him the same
service with his legs, and the third adj
ministers the punishment.
In other prisons the culprit is placed
on a constable's back, and as he sits
there with his arms around the officer
neck, awaiting the event, " his attitude
strikes a spectator more as one of atfec-
ton than discomfort. Another way is TO
compel a boy TO lean over a chair as If
he were praying, then run n strap right
around his legs and the legs of the chair,

Of things-it shows itself in many ways
At first, perhaps a little heaviness in the
stomach, little sourness, windy belchings
and heartburn. Headaches begin to come
pretty soon after that, and biliousness and
! foul taste in the mouth in the morning.
Chronic constipation is almost inevitable,
and it is probably the most serious trouble
that ever takes hold of a man. It's seeming
simplicity is the thing that makes il most
dangerous, because IL leads to neglect.
Constipation means that the body Is hold
ing poisonous impure matter that should
be gotten rid of The poison is being re
absorbed into the blood and the whole body
is being filed with IT, Impurity In the
blood may lead 20 almost any disease.

merry Above the City.
One of the queerest places in New
York can be found in what looks, from
the street, to be funny little gable
rooted house perched jauntily on one
corner Of the roof of the Windermere,
ON Fifty seventh street 1t is a conserva-
tory and observatory in one, a miniature
roof garden. the den Of an attic philos-
opher, Henry S. Goodale, whose some
what celebrated daughters, Elaine and
Dora, evidently got from him their
poetic strain.
The attic is reached by steep nau-
tical flight of steps leading up through
a small square hatchway straight into q
wonderful greenery Of bloom, snug
gerry of comfort, likewise a hepnery.
consisting of one fine brown Leghorn
fowl and single fluffy, yellow chick,
and dovecot, where there are softly
whirring wings 1t is a charming bit Of
Arcadia, high above the ceaseless roar
and heartbeat of a great city, which
under its potent snen seems unreal and
evanescent, like ~ undulating, elliptic
al rings of smoke that float past the
"atticn windows The attic is all win
dows, except the floor, roof and thesim-
pie matched board dado. The little room
is a symphony in green; the floor is car
peted with dull green denim the gabled
roof is covered with burlaps of the same
hue; a green wicker couch is cushioned
in green yachting cloth; broad green
and white striped awning shades the
sunny sides of the little house; all the
carelessly strewn cushions, though of
varying designs and materials, are Of
the same general hue, and green figured
denim draperies on slender brass rods
hang ready TO exclude the whole outside
world if it is desired.
But it is the window gardens that
give the greatest charm 10 the place.
Long, deep boxes of country earth and
loan give sustenance to thick, tangled
clumps of spicy pinks, old fashioned
rose bushes and honeysuckle vines,
clambering over wire network trellises,
which metaphorically kill two birds
with one stone by literally preserving
the birds--that is, the hen and her
chick-from disaster and upholding the
lacy green drapery of the vines.
OF course the hen is not allowed the
liberty of this garden in the air, though
che keeps avigilant and determined eye
out for opportunities TO maraud outside
her own domain, which is quite spacious
enough to keep her hale and hearty,

The King of Anam Broke Custom and
Created Panic.
Not long ago there was terrible ex-
element at the royal court of Anam.
The king, Thanah- Tai, who was then Ia
years old, was missing. Etiquette re-
auires that the Anamese king shall
never leave the royal grounds. He is a
knightly prisoner. But the young po-
tentate was not hard to find. Though he
was king, he was boy, and it is nat
ural for boy, when he has some mon
ey in his pocket, to want to get out and
spend it.
That was exactly what the king of
Anam had done. Entirely alone he
had started on a shopping" expedition
through the streets of Hue. OF course
no one knew him because he had never
shown his face in public. He was sim
ply boy, like any other boy, and this
was exactly what he wanted.
But he was treated with great respect
by the shopkeepers, because he seemed
TO have plenty of money Curiously
enough, the thing which seemed to at
tract him most was head shearing ma
chine, or hair clipper, and when the
frightened mobiles of the court discovered
him at last it was with this singular
implement in his possession.
He had already begun an attempt to
experiment with it ON the heads of sew
eral small street boys, who were prov
lug rebellious subjects, when the cour-
tiers approached him, prostrating them
selves upon the ground and making
alarmed outcries
The king no longer goes out shopping,
but he retains his hair clipper as a SOU
