pagveNrAsLg DISEASES KILL
One-Quarter of the Deaths Due to Some
Form Of Carelessness.

In connection with the sanitary in
stitute a popular lecture was deliver
ed by DIR. Alexander Hill, master OF
Downing college and vice chancellor
of cambridge university. on "Unnat-
ural Death" He remarked that IL was
not the dangers OF railway travelling
nor the few murders that occurred.
which brought down the average long
evity of human life from 100 years 10
so. They must seek for more subtle
murderers than that. Every year $780,
900 babies were born in England and
Wales. If they took 1,000. 900 children
and saw what was likely to be the
end of them, they would find that 80
900 died a violent death by accident,
about the same number would sue
cumb to the mysterious diseases which
they knew now to be absolutely pre-
ventable, because due to germs Ctu-
berculosis in its many forms; about
100, 900 would die from absolutely pre-
ventable causes such as smallpox, mea-
sizes and scarlet fever, only $4,000 would
be allowed to live out their natural
lives, and nearly one in 20 might ex-
pect to die because the machine was
worn out.
One quarter of all the diseases which
destroyed life were absolutely prevent
able. If the practice of hygiene were
only on a level with its theory the
average longevity would be raised at
once from so to s.. The greater num-
Der of diseases over which the individ-
ual had control were due to mistakes
in eating and drinking. He divided
diseases into three classes, n said
they would never succeed in prevent
ing them until they had the co-opera-
ton of the public. Every citizen should
have the same exact knowledge of the
causes and properties of preventable
diseases that the medical officer him
self had. The infectious nature of con-
sumption was hardly realized 20 years
ago. About one-third of the cows In
the country were tuberculous, and half
the milk distributed the bacillus Of tu-
~berculosis. They could boil the milk,
and he was no more afraid of boiled
bacillus than he was Of a well cooked
Ion. The only natural form of death
was the gentle falling asleep when the
body was tired.-London Times.

also aggravated by the steady stream
of wagons crossing Water street at the
foot OF the hill, which precluded the
possibility Of a flying start.
Formerly the only thing to be done
when a team would not or could not
pull it's load up the incline was TO block
the wheels and wait until another team
could be hitched in front to assist or
else for the policeman and a number Of
conductors from the delayed cars to get
behind the wagon and push.
This was both slow and tiresome. and
so a short time z a remedy was
found in the shape of a short wooden
stake. which was put in charge Of the
policeman. Now when a team stalls

the Indian appropriation bill,
the consideration of which was
begun yesterday. will be COM
pleted tomorrow. The only
item in the bill which is likely
to cause much of a contest is
that providing for the leasing
