Cleanliness may be next to goodness,
but according to the Medical Record it
is not necessarily next to healthful-
ness. A writer in the journal referred
to says the healthiest man he ever saw
is alive and well to-day, at the age Of
"a, in spite of the fact that his first in
PRODUCTION to water occurred sixty-one
years ago, when he fell into the River
Mersey with his clothes on, and never
got in up to his neck again until 1873,
when, being drunk, he tumbled into
the North River at New York Since
then the nonogenarian has not had a
bath, and it is his desire now to reach
the century mark with the proud dis
tinctiOn of never having surrendered
himself to the seductive charms Of the
scrubbing brush. We shall not at
the thing this is a remarkable showing,
but far down under the crust of the
dirt and argument there is truth that
ought to be laid bare. It is not enough
to say that this man has attained the
age Of 81 simply because he never vol
up the claim that if he had not fallen
into the water upon two separate occa-
sions he might be even stronger and
more youthful in appearance than he
is, and it would not be fair to set up
the claim that he would have died
years ago if he had acquired the habit,
early or late, of getting into bathtub,
even as seldom as once per annum.
No man has the right to conclude off
hand that consistent abstention from
the bath is productive of long life,
even upon such evidence as that which
is produced by the Medical Records
correspondent, for such facts are al
maintain that the showing in the case
under consideration is not remarkable
1t is more than that. 1t is almost stu
pefying, but, as has been said, there is
below the surface a truth-an underly-
ing principle-that ought, in the inter-
ests of science and the public veal, to
be laid bare, to wit: that in the ordi-
nary course Of things the man who has
lived for ninety-four years without
ever having been in bathtub must, in
addition to the two duckings mention
ed, have been rained on many times.
No man could successfully dodge
showers for niety-four years, and this
elf-evident fact, we hold, completely
washes away the claim set up by our
medical contemporary. The man who
has eschewed baths for ninety-four
years certainly never knew enough to
come in out of the wet when it rained.

A CURIOUS COUNTRY.

In the LGndais Every body Goes Mount
ed on Stilts.
Probably the most curious commun-
ity in Europe at the present time IL that
Of the Landais, the famous stilt-walk-
ers. who make their home in little
corner Of Gascony, bordering on the
Bay of Biscay. From time immemorial
stills have been used by the inhabitants
Of that region, both men and women,
but especially by the former, since the
women of the Landes are mostly stay
at-home bodies.
Dressed in sheepskin coats, with
rough, baggy trousers, footless knee
stockings Of heavy wool, and their
heads surmounted by the dark-blue
head-dress of the Gascons, these men
present picturesque sight. The stills
they use reach only to the knee, and are
strapped there, the stilt-walker being
about four feet from the ground.
The peasant also carries staff, by

The Pastors Union of Ann Arbor,
Mich, has agreed not to perform the
marriage ceremony in which either
candidate is a Divorce on other than
the scriptural grounds. This seems un-
wise, since the laws Of our States rec
ognize other grounds Of divorce as
legitimate, and do not make divorce
on any ground a bar to remarriage.
The probable result of the refusal Of
those who are authorized by the state
to solemniNe marriages to perform the
ceremony In such cases will be to in
crease the number of common law
marriages. There are many other
abuses of the marriage laws more seri-
Gus than the remarrying Of divorced
persons to which the reverend gentle
men might address themselves. If,
for instance, they had agreed to marry
no couples applying to them whom
they did not personally know, or who
could not present credentials from
some person they did know, they
would greatly reduce the number of
elopements and hasty and unconstitu-
tional marriages which bring sad re-
suits both to the contracting parties
and their families, and are themselves
responsible for much Of the divorce liti-
cation that engages our courts.

It is well to have the now popular
movement against food adulteration
pushed on. Dishonesty in business 10
a disgrace that should be minim1zed.
The mark on package exposed for
sale should be true. This is needed In
the interests of the home, and 1t Is I'M
portant in relation to our export trade.
But anitation-efHcien sewerage,
pure water, clean streets, prompt dis
posal of garbage, abolition Of nuisances
that poison the air-this is the work
that Will do most for the protection OF
health and the promotion Of longevity.
Much has been achieved in this direc-
ton, but much more remains to be &C
complished. 1t is not creditable to our
civilization that we take chances OF
death for ourselves and our families
and calmly consent to have our fellow
citizens die from causes that could be
readily removed if the dollars were
forthcoming.

means of which he can either raise him
self on to his stills or descend from
them with utmost ease. Among the
shepherds the chief occupa ton through
out the day is the knitting of stockings,
and while at work on this usually fem
mime industry, the peasant steadies
himself by sticking one end of his bal
ancing-pole into the sand, the other
forming a support, as shown in the il
lustration.
The occupations Of the Landais have
changed little during the last century,
comprising chiefly the tending of sheep,
resin gathering, and charcoal burning.
But the sheep are generally poor, and
their wool does not bring particularly
good price in the French market The
gathering industry is more prof
liable one, and the skilled resineur is a
person Of some Importance.
Naturally enough, among the chief
amusements at the annual fetes of the
various towns are the silt races, which
are of great interest on account Of the
experiences of the competitors. 1t is
practically unheard-of thing for a
Landais to fall when once correctly
mounted. His speed over the plains of
the Grandes Landes is almost beyond
belief, his pace being as fast as good
horse can trot.
