A SIauehterhouse Victim.

The papers recently reported the
death at Cripple Creek, Colo, of
woman who, three years ago, while
visiting the slaughterhouse of the Ar
mour Packing company in Chicago,
was completely paralyzed on one side
as a result of the shock produced by
the sight of the terrible tragedies
which are constantly being enacted in
that great killing establishment This
victim of slaughterhouSe horrors is
only one of many thousands who meet
their death through the slaughter
houses every year. 1t may not be
said, indeed, that the death can be
traced so directly and Immediately to
the slaughterhouse as in this case, but
the multitudes of men and women
who die of equity disorders, rheuma-
tism and other maladies resulting
from uric-acid poisoning might enjoy
many years of life were it not for the
deadly dose OF uric acid and other poi
sons derived from the products of the
slaughterhouse- eaters disor-
ders, among which must be included
trichina and tapeworm, tuberculosis
and possibly cancer as well as those
which have been traced directly to
uric acid.

"Fashion" Notes.

Don't wear thin-soled shoes at any
season of the year. One may take
cold from chilling of the feet as the
result of wearing thin-soled shoes in
walking over a cold pavement, even
when the pavement is perfectly dry.
Don't adjust the clothing to suit the
season of the year only, but adapt it
to the weather conditions of each par
ticular day
Don't wear high-heeled shoes, nor
pointed shoes, nor narrow-soled shoes,
nor tight shoes, nor low shoes. Don't
wear slippers, except in the house.
Shoes must have broad, reasonably
thick soles, plenty of room for the
toes, low heels. Rubber heels are a
great comfort
Don't support the clothing by bands
tight about the waist.
Don't construct the limbs by means
of elastic bands to support the stock
ings. Support all clothing from the
shoulders, not by bands, but by a
properly constructed waist free from
bones, on the union plan.

Rejected Candidates.

1t is reported that at a recent eX-
animation of candidates for admission
to the Naval academy at Annapolis
only eleven out of twenty-five were
found sufficiently sound physically to
be admitted The whole twenty-five
passed the mental examination, but
fourteen of them were unable to pre-
sent the necessary physical require
mnts. This fact is fair index of the
rate at which the physical decadence
of the American people is progress
ing. Insanity, idiocy and epilepsy are
all increasing at very rapid rate
three hundred per cent within the past
fifty years.

A Little of Both.

He was poor young clerk, only
earning SIP per week, and when the
struggling LADY told him that the book
was slips he didn't feel that he could
afford a copy. Still he didn't like to
hurt her feelings, so he intimated that
he'd take copy if she could change a
$40 bill.
There was no trouble about that.
The little black satchel she snapped
open didn't contain less than $3.50 in
small currency. The SIP clerk is still
wondering if he is an easy mark or a
philanthropist.- Courier.

To ProIono Life.

The British Medical Journal recent
1y devoted eight pages to discussion
OF the best means for the prolonga-
ton of life. The greater part of this
space was occupied by a lecture re-
Gently delivered by Sir Herman Web
er, D. D., F. R. C. P, before the Royal
College of Physicians of London, and
the main points of his advice were as
follows:
Moderation in eating, drinking and
physical Indulgence.
Pure air out of the house and with
in.
The keeping of every organ of the
body as far as possible in constant
working order
Regular exercise every day in all
weathers; supplemented in many
cases by breathing movements, and
by walking and climbing tours.
Going to bed early and rising early,
restricting the time of sleep to six
or seven hours. eve question the
wisdom of this teaching. Most people
require eight hours sleep; some,
more.)
Daily baths or additions according
to individual conditions, cold or warm,
or warm followed by cold.
Regular work and mental occupa-
ton.
Cultivation of placidity, cheerful
ness and hopefulness of mind.
Employment of the great power OF
the mind in controlling passions and
nervous fear.
Strengthening the will in carrying
out whatever is useful, and in check
ing the craving for stimulants, ano-
dimes and other injurious agencies.

Cannot Reduce a Rate.

It is stated in Washington, that
under the Townsend rate bill, II a
rate is fixed by the Commission 1t
cannot be lowered by a railroad.
Should an emergency arise calling for
a decreased rate, the railroads or
shippers would have to appeal again
to the Commission, there being no
latitude allowed, whatever the cir
cumstances Hitherto a maximum
rate has been the rule, but no such
concession is made under the pro-
posed legislation.

A Centennial Celebration.

The people of Fayette, Ohio, recent
" showed their appreciation of the
favor conferred on them in having in
their community a fine old lady who
has rounded out the full measure of
her hundred years. The centennial of
Mrs. Amelia Dubois was celebrated
by hundreds of people who met to do
her honor. The public schools were
closed, that the children might join
in the celebration In charge of their
teachers, they marched to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Dubois and escorted
them to the opera house, where an in
teresting program, in which many
prominent people of the neighborhood
took part, was carried out
One pleasing feature was the pres
entation by the children of a quantity
Of flowers the money for which had
been collected among themselves
The interest shown in the occasion
by the people of Fayette and surround
ing towns is evidence of the high
esteem in which this remarkable old
lady is held. Every faculty of her
mind is alert and responsive, and her
brown eyes still retain their attract
i've sparkle. She is an accomplished
need1ewoman, and still spends much
time in preparing dainty gifts for her
friends. Mr.. Dubois, to whom Mrs
Dubois was married sixty-one years
ago. is no less remarkable than his
wife. The unusually healthy and &C
tive old age of this fine couple is a
testimony to the value of their simple,
natural, peaceful life of activity. Com
menting upon this, the Fayette Review
says:

Since the attention of the Chicago
authorities was so forcib1y called to
the conditions present in the peniten-
tiary other states have been investi-
eating.
The rapid growth of tuberculosis
among prisoners in the Joliet, ILL.,, pen
ftentiary, attended by a marked in
crease in the prison death rate, has
aroused the officials to action. An in
vestigation and reform is to be insti-
tuted by the State Board of Health.
The members of this board do not
deny that under the present conditions
all efforts to combat the disease are
hopeless. Better general sanitary con-
ditions must be established or it will
be impossible to prevent the spread Of
tuberculosis to all the present prison
ers and to all who may be so unfortu-
nate as to be sentenced later.
This is another instance of the state
forcing its citizens to live under con-
ditions which mean almost sure death.
1t is surprising in this day of enlight-
eminent that the state should allow its
citizens to live, voluntarily, in unsani-
tary homes. Yet it does. The resi-
dents of the slum and tenement dis
tricts are dying from faulty santa
ton and bad hygiene. But more the
state forces some others to spend
from one to ten years in dark cell
from which they so often come, strick-
en- by the great white plague
wrecks of their former selves and
continual expense to the community.
With the message of prevention
and cure" of consumption in every
paper let the state not forget its pris-
oners who must silently suffer what
ever fate is decreed for them.
