Candy and Beer by the Yard.
rom rho Now York Tribune


Beer by the Yard" Is the subject Of an
article recently published in an English
newspaper. The place where this strange
method Of selling liquids is in vogue is
given as Boxley and vicinity.
The liquor says the story teller, zig
brought in glass vessel three feet high.
with a very narrow stem, terminating at
however, without splitting drop is no easy
task. and at many places the stranger who
can do so is permitted to have his draught
free of payment. At first the accomplish
ment of the feat appears simple enough.
and the beer flows gently from the narrow
stem. but no sooner is the vessel tilted suf-
fic:ently to allow of the air entering the
bowl than the liquor Is driven thence with
such violence that the luckless drinker re-
ceives about half a pint in his face or down
his clothes. To the natives, however. the
feat. from constant practice, is by no means
difficult"
The sale of beer by the yard has not yet
been introduced in this country. but candy
by the yard Is becoming popular.
At several watering places stands were
maintained last season for the sale of "old-
fashioned steam candy by the yard" At
some of the places the sweet mixture was
sold ''off the hook direct from the hands
of the candy puller,. but In most instances
inches wide, and from these strips a yard
or half yard would be cut of. At one
mountain resort the candy man did what
he called a large export business. and sent
yards of his candy product in especially
made boxes to all parts of the country.
and 1t was largely through his enterprise
that candy by the yard" became known.

young man about thirty just ahead was
,ointed out by the physician. He appeared
! n average normal health. though slight In
form. AS he turned his head his eyes were
deep and sunken and his features drawn
and pinched.
Watch him. continued the physician

he Is sufferer from paresis and all pare
tics have a sign peculiar to each indi

No? Well, every few minutes you will see
him wiggle nervOusly the first three fingers
Of his right hand as the arm is extended
at his side, and then quickly raise the same
hand and tap or rub his right cheek with q
little tattoo with the same fingers in the
same place on the same cheek always.
Never will he vary this motion, and hi
will repeat this one 500 times a day. He
will always do 1t when he thinks others
are observing him. and, as we overtake

at once detect my glance and will repeat
the sign again spasmodically.

the mumbling in an undertone or aloud OF
certain word or phrase. Others will have

manner while l knew of one paretic who

Drains and Sanitation.
From the Contemporary Review.


The basis Of knowledge on which sani-
tation rests is furnished chiefly by the OBJ
servation of facts on a large scale as they
occur in actual life. Its aim has been the
removal of conditions which experience has
shown to be favorable to the propagation
and spread of disease, and the substitu-
ton of other conditions. In general this
means the removal of what we call due.
Hence we get the publication of the
ground by drainage. by refuse disposal, by
inpervious paving, and SO on; the purifica-
ton of drinking water by subsistence and
filtration, or by having recourse to unpol-
luted sources, deep wells and springs; the
publication of food stuffs by inspection
and the destruction OF unwholesOme arti-
cles; the publication Of the air by VEN
tilation and regulations as to space; the
publication of rivers by the diversion of
polluting materials, and so on. Such vas
the line of activity, the aim being the i'm
proveinent of the general condition of life.
1t acts in two ways: 1t removes thu Sc
agencies by which disease Is fostered and
spread and 1t promotes health. thereby
rendering individuals less susceptible =.

other measure must be added. Of a ,..Her-'

From the Philadelphia Record
There has been a noteworthy change OF
medical opinion In recent years as to tn
subject Of taking cold. In no other countr.
is this matter Of such general Importance
as 1t is in the United States, where ca
tarrhs acute and chronic. are so common
as to be almost universal. The explosive
clearing Of the throat which is character
istic of an American audience has been
commented on by English and French WIS.,
itors, and the surprise has been great that
pneumonia should be so much more preva-
lent and fatal here than 1t Is In foggy and
muggy England. An understanding OF the
conditions under which cold may be con-
tracted should prove OF especial Value AT
this time of the year.
1t is a popular idea that IL one be amply

1t is explained, that the temperature of
the body is maintained by the nervous sys-
tenn, and that the least failure or relaxa-
ton of nervous energy causes change of
the bodily heat Sand1 hmpairs the power of
the body to resist the approach of disease.
1t is a wonderful fact that under any
change of outside temperature (even If one
go from the arctic regions to the equator)
the heat of the body remains at about 9S
degrees. But for its regulation by the
nervous system the heat OF the body could
not remain constant. as every muscular ex-
ertion would raise the temperature. Weari-
ness, anxiety depression and the like lower
the amount of nervous energy and render
the body susceptible to colds from the least
exposure by distributing the process Of reg
ulating the temperature While warm
clothing and all the common means of pro-
tecting the body are important, 1t Is even
more important to avoid needless exposure

ditiOn.

reason for the proposed order is the

themselves with suitable accommoda-
