The present year is making .
record for itself in the way Of ocean
and river disasters, railroad wrecks,
fatal CONGREGATIONS, smallpox, Ia
grippe, pneumonia, and other diver
sions. We are unable to account
for these disasters and plaques, I'M
less it is owing to the fact that the
Republican party is now in con-
troll Of the House OF Congress by a
large majority.

DANGERS OF THE DUST PAN.

Carpets Should BE Rubbed With Damp
Cloth Rather Than Brushed.
From the British Medical Journal.
To those who know the true inwardness
of things, the sight of housemaid brush
ing a dusty carpet is suggestive of many
evils. The death of Pasteur has reminded
the world Of what is constantly present in
the thoughts Of medical men--namely, that
while neutrality-suspicious. are the great pro-
0ucers of disease, dust Is the great carrier
Of microbe- organisms. Now that we know
these things, now that we understand that
in the quiet hours of night the germ-laden
dust settles down upon the floor. it Is dis
tressng to find how little our knowledge is
put to practical use, and to see old customs
still unchanged. old habits which we know
to be destructive carried on, and to find
the housemaid her knees, with her
brush and dust-pan, stirring up dust to the
detriment of every one, and breathing
gel nl-laden particles TO her own destrac-
ton.
1t needs but small amount Of common
sense to see that IL carpets must continue
a thing greatly to be deprecated-they
should be rubbed with damp cloth rather
than brushed. and that If. in Difference to
prejudice. they must be brushed. this
should be done by a covered American
sweeper, with plenty Of damp tea leaves.
OF all ways Of removing dirt from car
ret. the worst Is by the use Of the ordi-
nary short brush which involves the house
maid kneeling down in the midst Of the
dust which she SO needlessly creates, and
drawing it into her lungs with every
breath. For ordinary household use, some
thing like linOleum. something which can
be washed with a wet cloth every morn
ing would seem to be the best covering for
the floors: but If carpets must be, and II
1t Is impossible to teach the present gen.
Grafton the evils of seeking present COM
fort at the expense Of future risks at least
let US remember that carpets may be
washed even where they lie; that, till the
day Of washing comes. closed sweeper is
far better than a brush, and that the worst
form of brush is one with short handle.

A we'll selected text is half of the ser
mon. Given good text and preacher
who is in earnest, and the result is sure
to be good. The text of this article is a
plain simple statement that proves itself
in the readers own mind without argu-
ment. The text is GOOD health is bet
ter than great riches"
Without health nothing really matters
very much. A hacking cough takes all
the beauty out of landscape or sunset.
Erysipelas or eczema will spoil the enjoy
ment of sprightly conversation, of beau
tiful concert, of a wonderful painting
The biggest bank account in the world
won't pay man for his health, but a
very small amount of money will make
him healthy and keep him healthy.
Most all bodily troubles start in the
digestive or respiratory organs. 1t is
here that improper living first makes an
opening for disease. The development
differs as constitutions and te,nperaments
differ. The causes are almost identical.
To get at the root of the matter is simple
enough if you start right.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is a medicine for the whole body. It
works through the digestive organs on
all the others.
It cures the first thing it comes to and
after that, the next. It puts health in
place of disease in the stomach, and from
the vantage ground thus gained, it
reaches every fiber of the body and drives
disease before it indigestion, liver
troubles, kidney complaint, biliousness,
skin and scalp diseases, salt-rheunl, letter,
eczema, and all the troubles caused by
impure blood.

From the Chicago Post.
He is like all lovers and can talk of moth

devoted. He sat in the club window and
was thinking of her; then suddenly he blurt-
ed out, directing his remarks to the man who
was deep in the news of an evening paper:
Lovely girl

management of u Husband.

From the Philadelphia Call.
novel plan for regulating husband is
that Of an ingenious bride. The engagement
was long one; the love letters exchanged
legion. With these letters she has papered
her boudoir. No man could, in the face of
such evidence Of eternal devotion, object to
the price of a new bonnet or be stingy in the
matter of pin money. How could he scold
about the butchers bill or be sulky even If
she did give his pet Longing coat to the old
clothes man or put her pug to sleep in his
Sunday hat or cry because he stayed at the
club and forgot to come in until midnight, as
in his bachelor days?

TOPICS OF interest,"

The Sunday school convention which will
be held next week promises to be one Of
unusual interest. The convention, held two
weeks earlier a year ago, was looked on by
most of the Sunday school workers of the
present generation in the District as the
"Dst" convention, although conventions
and Institutes had been held in previous
years. The affair last year so far exceeded
anything in the recollection of those who are
engaged in the work that the others are
