HEALTH IN MICHIGAN.
Monthly Bulletin Issued by the
State Board of Health.

The monthly bulletin, issued by
the state board of health, shows
that, compared with the average
September in the II years, 1886
1897, diphtheria, whooping cough,
scarlet fever, consumption. inter-
mittent fever and typhoid fever
were less prevalent in Michigan
than usual during the month of
September, 1893.
Dangerous communicable diseases
were reported present in September
as follows: Smallpox at one place;
measles at II places; whooping-
cough at 20 places; diphtheria at 81
places; scarlet fever at 46 places;
typhoid fever at 179 places; and con-
sumption at 100 places.
Notwithstanding the fever gener-
ated at Island Lake, and the very
many cases of fever brought into
Michigan from other military camps,
typhoid fever has still been kept
down to less sickness than the aver
age September in the past IL years.

THE STATE CONSTITUTION
The Question of Revision to be
Voted on in November.

The secretary of state has given
notice that the question of general
revision of the state constitution will
be submitted to the voters of Michi-
gan at the next general election in
November and efforts will be made
to secure votes for the proposition.
1t is claimed that the present state
constitution is back number, that
the state has outgrown its former
charter from the people, and that it
is time to get a new one better
adapted to the needs of the people.
1t is pointed out that nearly every
other state in the union has revised
its constitution since the Michigan
constitution was adopted, and men
who are disposed to think the salar-
les are too small are particularly
anxious for a constitutional revision.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mother S ignorance; or more
frequently from q mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer"
and young women are so taught
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss MARIE
T. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that
had to leave school. was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. / was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. / was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. / followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
ever was. have gained flesh and have
a good color. L am completely cured Of
irregularity."

FLOWERS ON MEMORIAL DAY.

The Professional Florists Are Not
Often Called On.
Many may be surprised to learn that
the Both Of May, far from being boom
for the florists, is one of their poorest
days in the whole year. The twenty four
hours before, their sales hardly reach the
ordinary level, while on the holiday itself
a leading florist told me they might as
well shut up shop at 10 o'clock in the
morning so far as any business is con-
cerned. Now and then horist may get
an order from Grand Army post to dec
crate n single monument or statue, but
even this occurs much less frequently
than formerly. The real celebration Of
the day has come to rest almost wholly
with public school children and Grand
Army posts.
AS early as the latter part Of April, chill
dren in the schools are asked to contrib
ute on the 3Oth of May, each his little pot
of flowers in commemoration of the he
roes who, in the last generation, fought
and died for the great Union. The in
term is used in keeping their attention
more or less upon the incidents of the
late war, and instilling into their youth
full souls love of country. The flowers
which they bring are mostly small pots Of
geraniums, fuchsias, stock, and even the
more perishable petunias, all Of which
they can get at from to 10 cents apiece.
These are usually planted on the soldiers
graves, with perhaps a sprig of ivy and
live or die, according to whether nature
deals kindly with them or not.-Indian-
apolis News.

The superstition that thirteen Is un
lucky, which is traced back to sacred
source, meets with as many contradic
tions as combinations. The fact that
the horrible fire in the Paris bazar start
ed at booth 13 was telegraphed al
around the world, whereas little notice
is attracted by Nansen's success with
thirteen men. At one time two was a
dreaded number in England, owing tc
the dynaStic disasters TO all monarch;

went and looked over the wall which d.
vided the little tangled graveyard, as they
called it, from the schOolyard. The 9TH

little Lamkin on his crutches. They all
stood in solemn line and looked over the

Decorating Soldiers Graves,

The setting apart of a day for the deco
ration of soldiers graves, custom OBJ
served by North and South, had its origin
with the French colonists. On Nov. 2,
All Souls day, the mourners would re-
pair to the cities Of the dead, there to
twine garlands for the tombs. We have
made this custom our own, and on Memo
rial Day all over the land the fairest
flowers are laid upon the graves of fallen
heroes. In the lower suburbs of New Or
leans is the cemetery containing the world
famed shrine of St. Rogue. Dainty, ten
derly reared women trudge the long, dus-
ty road from the city to st. Rogue, and
there their costly favors are laid on the
altar beside the humble offerings Of the
less favored sisters. Within, from the
flower decked altar, the status Of St.
Rogue smiles down upon the supplicant.
In recognition Of cures and favors grant
ed through the intercession Of ST. Rogue
many have caused tablets to be inscribed
and set in the wall.-Donahoe's Mags-
zine

NUTS AND NUT CULTURE,
Where the Biggest and Best Of Them
Are Grown.

Where the Biggest and Best Of Them
Are Grown.
The Horticultural Society listened re-
| Gently to one of DR.. +. NJ. Bartram's
lectures on Nuts and Nut Culture"
| Except in California, nuts are but very
| little cultivated in the United States,
unless the pecan in the South is con-
sidered; but Mr.. Bartram made an In.
| tereSting address.
He said nut culture is comparatively
young in this country. The almond
| and Persian walnut in California and
the pecan in the South are in advance
Of the movement. while much interest
is being taken in the chestnut through
the Atlantic States. Foremost in acre
age, value and ease of propag CATION
among American-grown nuts stands the
almond, and those grown in this coun-
try are foremost in the world as re-
CARDS flavor. In 1892 over 1900 acres
We're devoted to its culture. The Per
sian, or English walnut, has only sue
ceeded in California, 100 acres being
cultivated in 1896, the crop being sold
for S139. $50. Most of the orchards are
yet seedlings, planted forty to fifty feet
apart, and these begin profitable bear
ing in nine or ten years. and no one
knows how long they continue so. A
tree is reported from France 300 years
old yielding now fifteen bushels at a
crop. Spraying. worming or fumigatinS
the tree is not required, but good tillaSe
will pay.
The black walnut and butternut were
referred to as suitable for grating Per
sian walnuts on. but the opinion was
expressed that both would be discarded
when something better was introduced;
in fact, three varieties of Eastern Ash
attic walnuts are already supersedinS
the butternut in California. The pecan
nut was spoken of as being exceeding
ly fertile. and then the Shellbark, but OF
this latter few trees are known to be
cultivated. From a commercial stand
point, the lecturer considered the chest
nut by far the most promising of nuts
for this vicinity. All the products OF
this country are used here, and 10000
packages come here annually, from
Italy and France, and the demand is
constantly ipcreasing.-Boston Herald.

ONE MEMORIAL DAY.

THOMAS JUDD, Jr., was perched
on the school house fence, waving
Il his arms wildly and talking, as he
usually talked, at the top of his voice.
But Tommys audience didn't mind his
voice l.. the least; and beside, they were
vP-y much interested in what he had to
say, so they were all listening intently.
Little Willie Lamkin, who was lame,
sat quietly on an old tree stump, his
crutches by his side, and looked wistfully
up into Tommy's face as he went on with
the story.
1t was long story, all about Memo
rial Day parade which Tommy had seen
last year; and as none Of these village
school children had ever seen a Memo
rial Day parade, you can imagine how
pleased they were to hear this interesting,
though noisy account.
Tommy had told them all about the
lines of marching men, the bands of mu-
sic, the waving flags and the sweet flow

any one spoke Then ii was Tommy, who
said, quite mournfully:

well, he didn't die" replied Tommy;
and all the children looked quite reproach-
fully at Mary.
But happy thought came TO one Of the
little girls. There was, on the main road
of this village by the sea, a square gran
ite stone placed there many years before,
In memory of young soldier who had left
the war with wounded lungs, and had
come home to die. When he could go no
farther in the jolting stage coach, he beg
yed to be left to lie by the fresh, green
roadside, under a beautiful tree, and here
he died in his brothers arms.
The telling of his simple story had al
ways filed the children with awe. They
never passed the place without reading on
the plain headstone his name and the date
Of his sad death. They could not do much,
but here was little thing they could do
for one brave soldier, whom they had
never seen but whose name they loved.
So the next day, which was Memorial
Day, the neighbors looked out on queer
little procession, headed by Thomas Judd,
Jr., beating Justify on his drum, and end
ed by little lame Lamkin with his
crutches. And because he had no hand
free to carry his flowers, as the rest of
the boys and girls did, Mary Lee had
made beautiful wreath of purple and
white lilacs and placed it about his neck.
There were in all three boys and five
girls, with arms full of flowers. As they
marched they sang Onward. Christian

sMUGoLERS' CAVES
They May Still he Seen Along tn
En0liaf Coast

They May Still he Seen Along the
English Coast.
A very curious feature of the coasts
OF England, where rocky or wild, is the
trenched and banked-up paths from the
caves along the coast. These are no
ticeable in Devon and Cornwall and
along the Bristol Channel. That terri
BILE sea front consists of precipitous
walls Of rock, with only here and there
a dip, where brawling stream has
sawn its course down to the sea, and
here there is, perhaps, a sandy shore
of diminutive proportions, and the
rocks around are pierced in all direc-
tiOnS with caverns.
The smugglers formerly ran their
goods into these caves, when the wealth
er permitted, or the preventive men
were not on the lookout. They slowed
away their goods in the caves and gave
notice to the farmers and gentry of the
neighborhood, all of whom We're pro-
vided with numerous donkeys, which
were henceforth sent down to the
caches and the kegs and bales We're
removed under cover of the night or OF
storm. As an excuse for keeping drOves
of donkeys it was pretended that the
sea sand and the kelp served as admir-
able dressing for the land: and no doubt
SO they did; the trains of asses some
times came up laden with sacks of
sand, but not infrequently with kegs
of brandy.
Now wary preventive man might
watch too narrowly the proceedings of
these trains of asses. Accordingly
squires, yeOmen and farmers alike set
to work to cut deep ways in the face OF
the Downs, along the slopes of the hills
end bank them up, so that the whole
caravans Of laden beasts might travel
up and down absolutely unseen from
the sea and greatly screened from the
land side. Undoubtedly the sunken
ways and high banks are n great pro-
lection against the weather. So they
We're represented to be-and no doubt
greatly were the good folks commended
for their consideration for the beasts
and their drivers, in thus at great cost
shutting them off from the violence of
the gale. Nevertheless, it can hardly
be doubted that concealment from the
eyes of the coast guard was sought by
this means quite as much, if not more,
than the sheltering the beasts of bur
den from the weather-South African

Wuke I'm in a Coffin.

Paul Pelkey, of Fillmore, is still living
and is 1O2 years old. He took sick and
died forty years ago, was dressed il
grave clothes and was placed in cof-
fin in an upstairs room at his home.
The funeral was ready to start and the
stairs were very narrow and old-fash-
ioned and but two men could handle
the coffin. They started down the stair
way with the coffin and one of the men
slipped and down went the coffin
bumpty-bump. The coffin broke open
and the corpse sat up and rubbed his
eyes and asked for drink of water,
and Paul Pelkey's funeral was put off
indefinitely, and has not since be"n an
nounced, and it is said is not likely to
be for some time to come.-Maryville
