HYGIENIC FADS.
I~II-SmelIing Substances Not Neces.
sariIy UnhcaIthful

Meehan's Monthly.
To read of the wonderful hygienic dis
coveries of modern times, it is a source
OF wonder TO reflect that, in the ignorance
OF the past, all human beings have not long
since persisted from the earth. COntinu-
ally, some startling discovery is brought
TO light. Among the most recent relates to
mushroom growing. A wide-awake Scotch
man, named William McRobbie. in the
town of Leith, Scotland, was in the habit
of using cellars under houses wherever the
owners would rent them. A large number
way. The town Board of Health had Nc
Robbie arrested for maintaining a NUS
ance prejudicial to the public health. Nc
Robbie resisted, and a lawsuit was the re-
suit.
1t has long been a belief among farmers
that the ammoniacal gases, given off by
stable manure, were beneficial rather than
prejudicial to health. No disease could
ever be traced TO the manure heap in a
farmers barnyard, however annoying 1t
might be to cultivated city noses.
In this case it was shown that the res
idents in the dwelling portions of the
houses over the cellars were just as healthy
as their neighbours. Besides, the medical
inspector of the Board of Health of Edin-
burgh was brought In to swear that he had
never known a case of disease from the
Odor OF stable Ant Considering that
this opinion came from a great university
like Edinburgh, it goes to show the diff
terence between real knowledge and mere
fads. 1t is not surprising to add that the
mushroom grower gained his case.

This may have something to do with the

Then, again, il may not. Another father

Training at Tusekegee is eminently prac-
teal. There the blacksmith learns to dis
sect a horses hoof in order to see exactly
why and how the animal may be injured
by unskillful work. The girl who wishes
to become a h~ouSekeeper follows the details
of her task until she reaches economic
principles. The method pays. Men and
women equipped with this sort of scientific
training do no ~haphazard work save
through their own carelessness. Again and
again does the system prove its value.
At one time the owners of a certain
reamery were in need of a new superin-
tendent, ana Tuskegee had just graduated
a man perfectly fitted for the place. Still
he was as black as black could be, and K

plication.

that effect, and he was at once engaged

The fathers Of Holsters usuall.J have

About sneeEinE.

We frequently hear the expression,
"God bless YOU" uttered after some
one has sneezed. The expression, If
we can believe Clodd In his childhood
of the World" dates back to the time
of Jacob We are told In Jewish lit
erature that previous to his time men
sneezed but once in a lifetime aud that
was the end of them, for the shock
slew them. Jacob prevailed in prayer
and had the fatality set aside on the
condition that among all the nations &
sneeze should be hallowed by the
words, God bless you!" In the "Jata.
ka," one of the books of the Buddhist
Scriptures, we read that the express
sion was, MAY the blessed Lord al
low you to live"
Buddha on one occasion while
preaching to his disciples happened to
sneeze. The priests gave vent to the
exclamation, and Buddha lectured them
for lnterrupting his discourse.
"If when person sneeZes," he asked
land you say, May he live? will he
live the longer?"
Certainly not" cried the priests.
"And If you do not say 1t will he die
any the soonerW
Certainly not" was the reply.
Then" said Buddha, from this time
forth II any one sneeze and a priest
says. May you liver he shall be guilty
of transgressIon"

to Gle patient, she said, There, take
this, and may you soon get better"
Her wish was evidently Gratlfed. for
the next day when she called at the
hospital to see the good effects of a
shave on the rheumatic patient she was
told that shortly after she had left on
