Secretary Carlyle had hardly lamed his order directing that the bullion in the several mints of the country be coined, than Mr. Henry S. Cochran, in charge of the reserve vault in the Philade). pixie saint, became uneasy, so much so, iufact, that he mentioned the matter to several employes of the Philadelphia taint, saying that the gold would not be found intact when the mint vault should be opened and the gold reweighed. He did not, however, confine himself to mere protestations to the employes of the Philadelphia mint, bat on hast Thursday week, September 7, came to Washington and visited Acting Director of the Mint Preston, He endeavored to per - suede i.1r. *eaten to have the Secretary countermand the order for coining the bullion at that Pitlla:ielphie mint and to ship the coin from the New York sub -treasury for thatpurpose Mr. Prestoniaforsned him that the order could not be revoked. The mvtsual zeal displayed by Mr. Cochrane in the matter aroused suspicion iu Mr Pres• ten's mind, and when the further request was preferred from Philadelphia that a mint official should bedetailed to be present when the vault was opened, dr, Preston was led to ask why such a course should bo pursued when the:whole responsibility reit- ed upon the superiatonleut of the Phila- del;;ina mints The story of how THE 9UORTAuL WAS DIS40\ Eu1 D is still fresh.

Preventing Disease. 11 should ever be borne in mind that it is very much easier to preveot diseases than' to cure them, It is, actually certain that our health is as much under our per- sonal control as ocr education and business. It is a preposterous idea that disease is sent upon us maliciously, with no regard to our oonduct, with no reference to the manner in which we treat this body, so "fearfully and wonderfully made," A few rules will aid very much in securing good health, Do not exhaust the vital forces by overtaxing every organ of the body, or even any one of them. i)o not eat without a reasonable appetite—since the appetite indicates how much food isnoeded if natur- al, and since food taken without an ap- petite will not be well digested. Do not depend on tea, coffee, cocoa, tobacco or any kinds of the intoxicants to aid digestion, for none of them will do it, proper labor and a natural state of the body being all that is necessary, provided the food is proper and. has been properly taken. Do not eat irreg- ularly, too often (three meals a day are all that need be taken, while 'some of the ancients took but one), or more thanis needed, a fair appetite guiding quite well in this regard. Do not dare to. dry wet clothes while still wearing then. Do not wear much clothing while exercising, or enough to produce perspiration while at rest—just enough to be comfortable at all times, it being safer to be comfortably cool rather than uncom- fortably warm. Do not "cool off" sudden- ly,afier having been engaged in hard work, by sitting, half clad, its a cold current of air, as it is bettor to continue work moder, ately or put ou oxtre clothing as soon as one begins to feel a little chilly. If about to take a bath, while in perspiration, de not wait to cool oil', as all of the warmth of the body is necessary in order to success- fully resist the chill, while it is unsafe to allow it chill to follow enab a batll,and con - thine for any considerable time. Indeed, if the warmth has been caused by violent exercise, the body being then exhausted, a bath is improper and ehonld be deferred. Do not attempt to gain time by depriving yourself of needed sleep,bu t retire early and sleep till nature says "enough." Whole there are any symptoms of disease do not neglect yourself, but remove the causes; if a cold, break it up imtne:liately by a sweat.
