" The great physicians of our time are
vastly more interested in sanitary eoionee
and hygiene than in therapeutics. They aro
studying anew the questions pertaining to
life. They are investigating the conditions
of perfect phyaioal existence. They are giv-
ing lectures and writing books on the great
art of keeping well, of developing physical
foroe, of building up a perfect body, The
questions of drainage and ventilation, of the
nutritive valves of the different kinds of
food, and the proper methods of cooking, of
artificial exercise, when it le necessary to re-
sort to such expedfenta, the heating of houses,
and the quantity and fashion of clothes that
should be worn, are assuming an importance
hitherto unknown,

maintain the highest degree of power and
enjoyment, isinvested with new importance,
The phyaloian is no longer `a medioiae man;' 0

we would pay him a double fee to keep us
well. He is a member of health police, t
whose function it is to keep people from
getting sick, and hold a disease at bay, And.
instead of killing a doctor when a patient
dies, after the manner of the Emperor of
China, the skill and proficiency of the phy-
sician of the future are determined by his
anemia in keeping his patients strong and
well; and should they fall ill, he may be
dismissed for better one."

pensable. Usefulness is so essential to hap-
piness that all good and enlightened men
teach that the most useful life ie the hap-
piest, and health is also obviously indispen-

will in no wIse diminish the fullness or vigor
of its vitality ; that is, the capacity for use- is
fulness is demanded by the highest morality.
Health and morality are, then, to a great ex-
tent interdependent, each one promoting the
ether, Knowledge, as well as morality, is
essential to usefulneaa. How dependent
knowledge 1e upon health is made sufficient-
ly obvious by the fact that however great a
man's knowledge may be, he, if sickly, is
less useful and happy than is an ignorant
man who is healthy. Thus it seems that.

it from the lips of the late Hiram s

old, that in the early part, of this century, a
when swine's flesh was the prinolpal article

pork for the year's supply. av
In those tomos it would not have been fa
thought possible for a man to get a building
put up, his grain harvested, his fat hogsand or
cattle slaughtered, er almost anything out se
of the ordinary way done, without such a pa
plentiful supply of drink as to give all hands op
the privilege of becoming drunk. And, to do the
the people of those times justice, it must en
be confessed that moat of them, so far as I tion
have been able to learn, wore only too will- thin

the lash four days she was entirely with-
out food. She appears to have suffered
more from the wet and thirst than from
hunger. Her thirst she slaked by lick-
ing the drops which condensed on the
windows. She became very weak and
her iegs swelled, which rendered it
difh;alt for her to stand up and keep a
look out. With extraordinary presence
of mind and indomitable perseverance
she Iaahed herself close up to the open
hatchways. After drifting in various
directions for nine days and nights, the
vessel in the darkness, grounded on the
Norwegian coast. When daylight return-
ed she called to some fisherlada on the
shore, and one of them waded through
the boiling surf, fastened a rope round
the half'nsensible woman, and she was
hauled to land. Borne to a house she
was well cared for. When sufficiently
recovered she was removed to the abode
of an Englishman ; and in the course of a
few days, unitise a brighter fnture awaits
her, thanks to Cb.ristlan charity, she will,
return to her miserable hut away among
the Shetland hills. Letters written from
Norway state that the "Columbine," to
reach the shore, had to thread its way
through a network of rocks which no
helmsman, ever so familiar with the lo-
cality, could have sucoeeded in doing in
the darkness. What is still more mar-
velous, the frail vessel seems to have
picked ont the only place on which she
could have beached, and only held to.

wives and brings up his sons to follow in

summoned his wife to a private confer-

BY ONE Or THEM,
Some people have a very shallow con-
ception of wbat the work of a compoeitor

that it is a very easy bnainese—very often
expreasing astonishment to eee strong and
able-bodied men doing the work, thinking
that it is only play and no work for men,
Very true ; it appears very easy, and one
would almost conclude that a child would
be able to accomplish it, providing it had
the educational qnalificatione required in
a good compositor.
Irt order to undeoleve the pub/10 the
writer of thie, a member of the craft, hes
made a careful calculation of aome of the

the basis of night, but day wotk, ulna lig.
naming the mental drein utider which b.e
is constantly placed. Calculating the
average of a man's work to bo 7000 eine
per day, he sets and correda 42,000 per
week, or 2 100,000 per year (making the
year to comprise fifty weeks of steady
work, and so allowing two weeks for holi-
days and lot time). On an average he
makes three motions In the setting of
every "ern," which amounts to 2100 per
hour, 21,000 per day, 126,000 per week,
and 6,800,000 per year. In distribution
the average of two motions to the em

Now it happened that the wife was
one of thoae weak women whose world is
bounded by the four walls of home and
whose hearts are wholly filled withilove
for husband and children ; consequently,
instead of rejoicing in this opportunity of
enlarging the family circle and responding
" I am ready," she fell to the floor in a
swoon, that was like death. For many
weeks afterwards oho lay on a sick bed,
and her huabend, after waiting until hie
patience was •exhaunted for her to get up
and attend tifia wedding, WBB forced to
allnw it to proceed without her.
The new bride ws not Inatalled in the
house, however, until after the first 'wife
was restored to health. Then she took
her proper place in the laxity, but some-
how the two woraen did nob harnaothe,
and their diflerences finally culminated in
open war. Naturally this state of thinge
was very distressing to the husband, and
he maale up his mind to put an end to do
mastic strife at any amt. So one day
when the aeoond. wife attacked her pre-
decessor with the carvIng-knife, he Inter-
fered and took away the weapon, saying
that he vies capable of diacIplining hie
family himself. This heAteance proceed-
ed to do by giving the olTen)ding firat wife
a Bever° whipping, and when she pretreated
that he was killing her he said :
"I am determined to live my religion,
if it kills the whole the family."
Now the question to be coneldered is
this : After a man has made so many sac-
rifices in order that he might live his re-
ligion, and obey the dictates of conacienee
ought he to be sent to prison for doing so?
The man I have mentioned is at present
liable to a fine of $300 fine and six menthe,
imprisonment, not for -al ploygamous
marriage for preosecutiont that offence
is barred' by the Stattzte of Limitation,
but for centinuing his polyeamons rela-
tions since the new hew went into effect'.
Street Scenes in. Naples.
The street scenes of Naples are a atudy
in themselves, and would entertain a tro-

building. The curious garbs of the
ecclesiastics, who seem to form a large
proportion of the inhabitants, the grco
teaque appearance of the street venders,
with their wares piled up above their
heads, end hanging to all parte of their
bodies, the brilliant dreates of the
clam women, and the fantaetia costumes
of the beggara, who aro pictureeqae in
their very nakedness, give variety to the
scene. The cathemeat /ran, -with his
