STATES FINANCES.

Little Rock, April 5.-State Treas- u,er Crockett says that he is not look ing for any general revenue of conse- uuence until July, and in the mean time the unpaid warrants can only ac- cumulate. It is estimated that the state is about s225, ,o00 short Very little is coming in now. with the eX- eeptien of occasional fees from the Auditor, Secretary of State, and other state offices. The other day Newton county sent in s2.700. in partial set tlement, but it did rot last long.
 The $44, ,00o increase in the as sessment of the state will produce about s70G00 more revenue, and MT. Crockett thinks that with careful management, and with less eXpen- sive legislature than the last one, the state should in a few years get into good financial condition again.

Health and Fads.
[eW York Globe

From the New York Globe.
The scientific fighters against disease
gathered in Washington must sometimes
be surprised at the keen interest in the
doings taken by the public. The public
is not yet fully awakened to the possibill-
ty of lessening contagious diseases. But
it is waking up 1t is already more near
ly broad awake than it has ever been
before since the beginning of the world.
The minority which is actively hostile
to most forms of precaution. which Jumps
them all together as fads. grows smaller
year by year. 1t regards a fad any
fussiness about health which it thinks
costs more, in depressing worry and busy
fear. than the practical results of the
business are worth. But the majority
realizes that the fussiness of one gener-
alton may be the necessary preliminary
to the wholesome, unthought of habits OF
the next or of some later generation.
There was time when brushing one 5
teeth was a fad, when the practice was
confined to a few meticulous and appre-
hensive persons. Little is known about
the earliest bathers. but certainly their
companions thought them eccentric and
probably thought them dangerous. A
little later than prehistoric times. in the
period when We were children. 1t would
have been offensive to inquire of any re-
mote New England farmer who took
boarders where he got or how he treated
his water supply. Legitimate curiosity
could go far as the question. Which

Nowadays, even in northern New Eng
land, an authoritative analysis of the

a matter of course by every NAVY.
