ALEXANDRIA. Va. September %, 1872.
Considerable activity is evident on the
part of property owners to have GER
tain street improvements made be-
fore winter sets in The result is that
many owners now are signing the neces-
sary papers agreeing to pay their pro
rata of the cost OF the work. Most of
these papers already have been approved
10y a committee of council. and from now
on there will be considerable street work
in progress.
The property owners on two squares
on Alfred street between Wilkes and
Franklin streets have signed for a macad-
am roadway ON that thoroushfare. and
this work will shortly be begun. This will
make complete nacadam roadway on
this thoroughfare from King street to
Franklin street a distance of six squares,
which is the complete southern end of
that street.

rest between tasks is one of the best
methods of preventing the disease.
Occupations which expose the workers
TO the extremes of heat. including those
Of engineers, stokers. rolling mill en-
ployes. Wire mill workers and employees
in sugar reiineres. glass factories and
the like, render the workers particularly
susceptible to catarrhal troubles rh"u-
matism kidney disease and skin af-
fections. Perhaps no men in the world
have more strenuous times than the men
down in the furnace rooms of big battle
ships. To climb down to where they are
working ard put a few Shovelfuls of coal
ur1er the boilers when battleship is
going at approximately full speed and
under forced draft makes u civilian feel
that he is somewhere close to the infer
nal regions. No method has been found
by which the men can be protected from
the heat. Great Ventlator shafts carry
immense quantities of fresh air down
to the men, but about the only way to
feel its presence is to stand under them.

there are on the subject show that such

Occupations involving exposure to irri-

to produce chronic catarrhal conditions

May Be Six Divisions.

In the memorial it was suggested that
if the world We're divided into five or six
divisions, and then give them, for eX-
ample, their regular meeting every third
year. the general conference every fifth
year the president of the general con-
ference during his term of office could
easily make the rounds of these divisions
and become fully acquainted with the
worlds needs. The memorial further
suggests that if the divisions had their
regular constituency sessions. elected
their own officers considered their own
peculiar wants, as all other minor
CARNATIONS, then the workers and people
could have the advantage of attending
more generally such meetings. and the
head of each division would not be the
vice president of a division. but be it's
president, and could be at the same time
the vice president of the general confer
ence by virtue of his Office as president

trols Madagascar and other islands, could
give the gospel on them. and only Bel
