On Tuesday last the contract was
signed for the building of a lofty
chimney, constituting the first portion
of a very spirited scheme which the
Shoreditch vestry are about to carry
out. They have purchased a piece Of
land upon which the City Of London
Iron Works formerly fiourished in the
neighborhood of Hoxton square, and
upon this they are going to erect a
dust destructor on the newest princi-
pies. 1t has been abundantly demon.

refuse is destroyed may very advant-
ageously be employed for the genera.

%Shoreditch Vestry has resolved that
in its parish the Instructor shall do q

to destroy useless refuse, to generate
steam for lighting the parish by cleo
tricity and supplying power to those
who need it, and at the same time 1t
will afford a supply of hot water for
public baths and wash rooms. The
chimney stack referred to will be the
commencement Of an experiment
which it is believed will be unique.
1t will be $50 feet high, and around
the foot of 1t will be the electric light
and power station, the baths and wash
houses. and on q corner of the same

TAKE TOO MANY DRUGS.
Inc Reason Why Grip IL Prevalent

One Reason Why Grip Ia Prevalent
in Big Cities.
"The primary cause of so many
cases of grip in this and other Cities"
said the examining physician of one Of
the large life insurance companies in
New York to a Mercury reporter. sis
the almost universal habit of drug
taking, from the milder tonics to pat
ent medicines. Whenever the average
men or women feel depressed or slight
~ Ill, they resort at once to some med
icine more or less strong. If they
would try to find out the cause of the
trouble and seek to obviate by regu-
lating their mode of living. the gen.
eral health of the community would
be better. This drug habit tends con-
ttnually to lower the tone of the sys-
tenn. The more 1t Is indulged in the
more apparent becomes the necessity
Of continuing the downhill course. The
majority of persons do not look be-
yond the fact that they seem to feel
better after the use of a stimulating
drug or patent medicine. This feel
ing from the benumbing action
Of the drug. because it has no uplifting
action. With the system in such a
weakened state the microbes of the
disease find excellent ground to grow.
When attacked the patient lacks re-

IDutiea Of Guests.

"The pleasure of entertaining guests
II often materially lessened by their
manifest Indifference to the trouble
they sometimes heedlessly entail upon
tile hostess. For instance. the guest
who visits a friend, by the way of a
pleasant surprise, without having pre-
viously apprised her thereof, is seldom
genuinely welcome, as the conscious
ness Of having things prepared for
the coming of a stranger in the house.

joy in receiving u visitor.
"Again. there is always q visitor

or thoroughly air her sleeping apart
mcnt, make her bed and properly emp
ty and refill the washbowl and basin
assigned for her use, all of which are
unmistakable signs of i~ll-breeding and
| personal uncleanliness.
"Another disagreeable type of guest
is the one who willfully appropriates
all her hostess writing material, pos
tage stamps and hair and hat pins
without the slightest honorable inten-
ton of returning the same rs soon as
possible. Even IL servants are employ
ed in the house, they are not bound to
render any extra service to a guest I'm.

small hearted visitor who fails to pay
In some substantial way any unusual
service rendered by a servant. Again.
it is only q lazy, ill-bred guest who
will disarrange books, bric-a-brac or
furniture in a house, and fail to re-
place them properly. The hostess has
some rights which should be conscious.

The one shown is a mans bicycle of
full size, with a sixty-six-inch gear,
which is much higher than most Of
the women use. Yet this. as is illus
trated in the accompanying picture,
taken from The Queen, can be ridden
by a young girl in her ordinary dress.
A much lower machine is being built
for ladies' riding, and the lowness of
the frame will admit of Il longer skirt

The Bantam, which is the name of
the new wheel, is easier to learn to
ride, it is claimed, than the rear dri-
yer, though persons accustomed to
that would find the change awkward
at first. Although the wheels are so
much smaller than those of the or
binary safety. the vibration is said to
be less perceDtiblc.
Another advantage claimed is the
small compact geur, which does away
with the usual gear case. and never
needs any attention. Altogether. the
development of this new wheel will be
watched with interest.

Mrs. w. b. ERWIN.

At her residence in this town at
10 O'Clock p. M. on June az, Mrs.
w. b. Erwin died after a short ILL
ness. Like one falling asleep, quietly
and calmly, she passed from time
to eternity to render her final ac-
count to her Maker. In her illness
she was ministered to by kind and
loving hands, and at her last hour
there were gathered near, her low
ing daughters and other kindred
and friends who wept for her de-
parture. Such an end was well be-
fitting life so we'll spent.
The maiden name of Mrs. Erwin
was Sophia +. Crow; she was the
daughter of the late Basil C.. Crow,
one of the earliest settlers of this par
ish, and lawyer of distinction in his
time. She was native of this par
ish and was raised and educated
here, having attended for some time
the Convent of the Sacred Heart at
Grand Coteau in St. Landry parish.
She was a woman of considerable
natural gift mentally, much inn
proved by reading. Her husband
was the late DR.. William h. Erwin,
skillful physician of this parish
who fell at his post of duty in she
yellow fever epidemic that swept
over this section in the fall of 1867.
In all the relations of life the de-
ceased was a most exemplary char
acter. Whether as daughter or wife
or mother she was devoted, loving
and true. AS friend and neighbor
she was kind and charitable; indeed,
she typifed the most excellent attri
butes of God-like life. She has
crossed over the river, but the mem
DRY of so noble and worthy a matron
is one which fingers as a bright light
for those who would know how to
live the only life worth living.
The deceased was followed to her
last resting place by large number
of relatives and friends, and now
sleeps with loving ones who had
gone before. She left four daughters
who, weeping over their bereave
ment, have yet the precious heri
tage of her memory.
