Keswick, Esolahd, April 17. The
Scotch glory in the straths and crags of
their highlands and islands; the Irish have
a pathetic and mournful pride in their
ancient Celtic and later ecclesiastic monu
ments, and an exultant pride in their Giant's
Causeways, their lone peaks of Donegal
and Connemara, and theif matchless Killar
ney, while the English fondly fancy that,
outside the Lake district, among the peaks
and valleys of North Wales, are scenic
beauties of surpassing splendor.
But the English Lake district is, as it
were, nature's feast for common enjoyment.
It is the one spot in the three kingdoms
where gentle genii of the place are powerful
enough to annihilate the race bitterness of
centuries. Indeed, it is the sweet and pen
sive lullaby-nest of all Britain.
Its geography, ethnology and etomology
may have much to do with this. The region,
from a race standpoint, is almost neutral
ground. It is in the Northwestern, and all
things considered, the most remote portion
of England. Its area comprises the North
ern, sea-detached part of Lancashire and all
of the important shires of "Westmoreland
and Cumberland. Three sides, its North
ern, Western and Sonthern, are shut in by
the Irish Sea and estuaries, while a natural
barrier on the Eastern side is lornied by the
Pennine range of hills, which furnishes
Yorkshire, Durham and Northumberland
their wild and savage tells and moors.
nave Xover Been Disturbed.
Peopled originally by Cambro-Celts, their
descendants clung to a region almost inac
cessible in the past, and thus sustained,
from the barbaric stone age to the golden
age of poetry and art, few abrnpt divisions
B'id impingements from Boman, Danish
and early English invasion. All influences
for chance were consequently gradual and
gentle, and never markedly unequal from
the English on the east and sonth, the Irish
on the west, and the Caledonians on the
north.
During three extended visits to the region,
in winch most of my time w.is Dassed among
the peasantrv. there have been found very
manv dissimilarities between these people
and the peasant class in any other portion of
England. Though the student oi bonks may
tail to find this apparent iu the literary re
mains of the hosts ot prose writers and poets
who drew almost their sole insuiration lrom
the lake countr ; and though there may re
main no evidence that these curiou distinc
tions attracted the eery-day attention of the
men and women of genius, who so long lived
where thee contr.ists were constantly ap
parent, the interesting fact still remains
that Cumbrian men and women, as all the
inhabitints o North Lancashire, Cumber
land and Westmoreland are generally
called, .ire almost as different from other
lowly English folk, in tradit.on', superstition-,
manner, enstoms, ami particularly
in vernacular, as are those of "Wales, who
so patriotically treasure every vestige of
their ancient Kymnc life and tongue. The I
Scotch are most kindly disposed to their
Cumbrian brethren across the Sol way, for
they know that in their veius flows an ad
mixture ot Caledonian blood. The Irish
across the narrow channel are drawn to
them, as to the Welsh, because the Cum
brians have with the Irish aud AVelsh a
common Celtic parentage. The region is
English through centuries of domination
and gradual absorption of English nation
ality. The Families of Statesmen.
If ethnological reasons, though but half
consciously recosmzed, render the English
LaLe District common ground of delight for
all British nationalities, the distinctive
status and character of its peasantry cer
tainly give it an added charm to the traveler
who has interest in men s well as in
mountains and rocks. The larger propor
tion of the rural population, or dalesmen,
ore the families of 'statesmen," or men
owning and farming their own tiny pieces
oi land. These have come down to them
iutact lrom baronial times. In those old
davs the border incursions from Scotland
taxed to the utmost the wits and re-ources
of the northern oarous. To provide and
retain required forces for their often sore
needs, the system of parceling out the land,
in tee, and enfranchising the villein retain
ers to hom they were given, was resorted
to.
More fortunate than the poor clansmen of
the Scottiih Highlands, whom the decay of
the clan system barbarously drove lrom
their homes and soil, the decay of
feudalism left these Cumbrian "statesmen"
the actual possessors ot the (oil.
Many of their little "estates" have
being gradually swallowed np by the nobil
ity, and by rich men who have become
mighty landholders in the lake region. But
there are thousands remaining who to-day
occupy the very same parcels o. ground, de
fined by the identical metes and bounds,
possessed by their v.llein ancestors of hun
dreds of years atro.
Houses Dug Into the Mountains.
These have "stood still." They have sus
tained little encroachment. I have found
"statesmens," houses in remote glens, all the
way from the Solway to Morecambe Bay,
where can be traced the entire series of evo
lutions in habitations from a cell quarried
out of the mountain side to the hall-modern
heavily-built, rock-thatched Cumbrian cot
tage. Aloug the Solway Firth, atBowness,
1 can point out a hal -score of these so old
that carvings and altars dug from the nearly
lTOO-vears obi Roman wall of Severus, are
built into fireplaces and outside walla. Of
these dalcsmens' cottages Wordsworth, him
self born among them, says: "Hence
buildings, which in their very form call to
mind the processes ot nature, do thus,
domed in part with a vegetable garb, ap
pear to be received into the bosom of the
livn g principle of things, as it acts and ex
ists among the woods and ficlas."
Precisely as in Wordsworth's time, out
side the Cumbrian cottages you will find the
shade of sveamores anuVa "tall fir through
which the winds sing when other trees are
leafless;" a little orchard; an ample herb
bed; a near nil or springspout with its
ceaseless wimple; a comely garden; com
fortable stone out-bnildings for grain and
for winter housing of the cows and the tiny
but hardy Cumbrian sheep; and always the
shed fur the hires of bees which distill from
the mountain heath the darkes't, but ever
the sweetest honey in the world.
Interiors of tho Custles.
Their interiors are no less characteristic
Standing in the door of any one, your eyes
may again trace, iu the antiques ot utensils
and lurnishiegs, a complete museum of
rustic household evolution from the stone
age to onr own age of Brummagem and
brass; for you will find the quern, old as
Aryan llre, the ancient Celtic raetber or
drinking cup, the rudest and earliest make
of spinning wheel with delft of the first
English kilns varied by minT faulty bits of
"Wedgewood," brought here from Stafford
shire by hawking Gypsies; and mingled
with these, various tawdry household orna
ments and utensils of the present time.
Cumbrian peasants are as a rnle "house
proud;" and In years of wandering among
the lowly ot Enropean countries I have
never come upon any rnstic folk the interior
ot whose habitations were such shining ex
amples of homely comfort and restlulness.
There are ot course exceptions. Now and
then you will find settlements like Waten
dlath, hid among the fells between Borrow
dale and Thirlmere, -where may be seen all
the sodden squalor occasionally met among
the Scottish westcoast crofters and in the
Irish westcoast fishing villages. Their
houses are dark and dirty, the floors uneven,
the furniture craxy, the men clad in ragged
fustiau and the women in coarse wool and
wooden clogs. These are sheep herders
nnder a later sort of feudalism.
Sold by Their Fathers.
In every such case the history is that their
fathers before them sold their little "estates"
to the encroaching laudgrabbers, and their
children are consequently to-day in pre
cisely the wretched serfdom wrought by
lorrllordis-n in the Scottish Highlands and
in Ireland. But with the habitations o!
"statesmen" the interiors are charmine.
The floors are usually of the same huge
slates as those covering the roof. They are
scrubbed and cleaned until they shine like
dusky mirrors. Frequently you will find
them particularly near the door and fire
place, decorated with white, ochre and ver
milion chalk in figures and scrollwork em
bodying strange fancies in rustic art. The
living room, or "firehouse" as it is called, is
always very large for a cottage, o"ten from
18 to2o feet'square, low, but with the rich
est of old aud polished beams in the ceil
ing. Indeed, old oak may be found in pro
fusion. The long, solid tiblc, with benches at the
side, where the "statesman," his family and
all servants sit together at meals; the "long
settle," or two-yard long seat, at one side of
the fireplace, and the "sconce," or bench, on
the other, under which the night's fuel,
called "an elden," is placed; the chairs,
huge and high, and requiring a strong arm
to move them; the high, narrow, sprawling
legged bureaus; the many iron or brass
bound chests; the beds, rinse and strong
enough to hold giants, for these Cumbrians
are often tremendous in stature are all of
oak, curiously carved and often wondrouslv
polished. All this is sometimes varied by
pieces of mahogany almost as unique as can
be tonnd among the peasant homes of Brit
tany. From this large, clean "fire-house."
or living room, there are in all directions
inviting vistas through wide, low doors and
cosy tone "leantos," perhaps each built in
a different century, to tiny-paned windows,
splayed like turret-windows, white with
inner curtains, and in summer, ablaze with
outer bud and blossom.
Some Oddities in Dialect.
The dialect of the district, which I can
only touch cpon, is very curious, and con'
tains many pure Celtic, Norse, old English
and foreign words. The affix "ment" is in
constant use, providing added quantity or
emphasis. "Diriment" thus becomes a col
lection of dirt, and "shamement" increased
contempt in the expression of shame. A
bull "heels," instead of bellows. Anything
crooked is "cammed." "Sad" is heavy,
and a "sad-cate" is one made without
"rising," and is all its name implies. A
road is a "wad;" and a young pig, instead
ot a boy, is called an "urchin." A "had
dery" day ir a drizzling day. A dancing
night is a "tansy;" no donbt from the Ger
man tanz. One whose actions make him a
byword is a "bysen," and a short thick-set
man is a "botchy." "To few" is to fare, or
to arrance. "Dal!" is the expletive form of
"The Devil!" but "donnet" is the devil
himself, or one no better than the devil.
When one is over-tired from, labor, he is
"thewed." To "saunter" is not to strag
gle or dally, but to meditate; and if you are
"boggart-owned" you are destined or fated
to be given over to some evil spirit Bad,
loitering boys are "Driving-sneevils;" that
is, of no more account than if driving snails;
and a Door "bandylan" is an unfortunate
lass "banned from the land," or driven
lrom home fellowship. "A cope" is a
jockey dealing in worthless horses; "bag
gin" is food, and the "singing binny" is a
hot cake baked for tea. Arriving a't one's
kou-e is "landing hoarae." A "scrowmolly
o' eggs" is a dish of scrambled eggs. If you
accidentally overheard yonr peasant host
speaking of you to bis wife as a "terrible"
or "fearful soiisy mon," it would only mean
a compliment; but if he spoke of you an a
"bonny pistol" you could understand your
self to be regarded as an arrant knave.
Customs of the Communities.
"Village and home lite lire very simple
and uneventtul. Each little community is
sufficient unto itself because of the un
broken custom of never "hiving off." The
younger shoots of tho family grow up be
side the old. Entire valleys are found
peopled bv "statesmen" of the same family
and name, pronounced acquirement, physi
cal peculiarity, or location of habitation,
such as "Jock the Kussler" (wrestler),
"Pdish-tnoD (porridce-tub) Ben," or
"Dick o' th Kiijc;" providing ample dis
tinction. Courtship is carried on iu a prim
itive and vigorous way that would shock
modern delicacy, but all manner of mitings
remain firm and true. Marriages provide
extraordinary festivals, aud, after the feast,
numberless useful offerings from friends are
made to the bride who receives them sitting
in state.
The dead are "watched" from decease to
burial, and funerals furnish subdued diver
sions with heroic feasts. Candlemas, Curl
ing Sunday when friends nelt each other
with peas, Good Friday, "Powsowdy-nieht,"
Christmas time and all christenings are
boisterously celebrated. Leaping, wrest
ling and running are the principal amuse
ments of the, vouths and men, who excel
those of other English provincial districts;
while the ancient custom of "rush-bearing,"
which will be described in a luture article,
is still here in vogue. The severely pious
European peasantry seem to be extraordi
narily superstitions, and the Cumbrians are
no exception. Every crag, dale or lake has
its respective demon; while the universal
spook is the "bogle."

THE CHICAGO WAY.
How a Determined Patron of the Drama
. GoiH1h Alone' Worth.
Sew Vork Tribune.;
A theatrical manager who has recently
found his way back from Chicago, tells the
following story of the determination of a
Chicago patron of the drama to get his
money's worth: "I got to town a few days
ahead of my. company, and the theatre was
then occupied by Gustav Ainberg's com
pany from Munich.called'DieMnencheiner.'
One evening 1 was standing near the gallery
door, when a little street boy came up to the
window, bought a ticket aud went in. He
was- in the habit of coming to. the theatre
every week, and never thought of looking at
the bill to see what the play was to be.
Well, in a few minutes that boy came down
stairs again with the most disgusted look
on his face I ever saw. He had been up
there, and had found the audience laughing
at and applauding something that he could
no more understand than if it had been
Greek. But he took aretnro check as he
went out, and he was heard to mutter some
thing about 'Dutch,' 'bloody moonshiners
and done np. Well, sir, he went away,
aud in less than ten minutes he came back
with another boy as German as sausage and
sauerkraut He bought another ticket for
tho ne- boy and took him into the theater.
Of course, I saw what he was doing, but I
followed him up into the gallery, and there
he sat and made that little German translate
tbe whole play for him. It he had asked
for bis money back in the first place, prob
ably he wonld have got it; but no, be ad
mitted that he was beaten, 'done up,' and
rather than have bis first quarter wasted be
senV another alter it and tried to get the
most of bis money's worth that he could."

SxiLii Stabbing- rs I
the Lone Stab State. (
PEAKING of the
stage, and the tempta
tions and trials that
beset it, I got a room
at the hotel in Austin
which, although a very
pleasant one, did not
have a very prompt
service connected with
it There was also no
key to It, so whenever
I went ont for an hour
or two I bad to pack
my trunk and lock it.
Then I had tbe excitement of unpacking it
again when I pot back. In the afternoon I
decided to take a siesta, so that my voice
would be nice and smooth for the evening.
I put the bureau against the door, and,
taking down my hair, "was soon in a profuse
slumber.
At this moment the door was rudely burst
open by a locksmith, who said that he had
come to put a new lock on the door and fit a
key to it This did not occupy over an
hour or so, and after- that he went away
with the old lock, leaving the door ajar
while he got a new and more desirable loct.
I fell asleep again then, for I was worn out
with the long and weary miles of railroad
travel.
They Never Kap Upon the Door.
Then came a bright voung chambermaid
with a fresh porous towel for the room. She
put her pass key into the door and turned it
two or three times. They always do that,
whether there is any lock on the door or
not Even when the door isn't locked they
most generally sock a. pass key into the late
keyhole, and rattle two or three pounds of
brass key checks on the outside. They do
not knock unless they have peered through
the keyhole and observed that the guest is
dead. Then they knock timidly, shrink
and go away. j
The chambermaid cannot understand why
a great big man should desire to occupy his
room at the hotel during the day time.
That he shonld want to write or rest in bis
room seems very morbid to most of them,
and a man does "have to be pretty well worn
out in order to stay contentedly in the aver
age hotel room; but be. does sometimes get
where even a second-hand grave with a lock
on it would be welcome. But the room I
refer to was an aggravation in another way.
I could not get anybody to come when I
rang. People whom I did not care to see
dropped in every little while, but when I
rang nobody came. J 'terward I was told
that I had occupied wnat is called a "the
atrical room."
Took Nye for an Actor.
"We are annoyed very much," said a
hotel clerk the other day, "by r certain
kind of actor the onewhoplavs the smaller
parts on the stage, and who tries to manage
the universe between times. He generally
plays the part of the associate villain, or
the deathbed, or the unsealed doom, or
something like that, and at tbe hotel he ap
pears as its first mortgagee. Well, we give
him a room that has an electric bell wire.but
it does not connect with tbe office. It is at
tached to the coffee mibb in tbe kitchen, so
that when he imagines he is ringintr his bell
he is really grinding the coffee for break
fast By some mistake you were supposed
to be an actor though auyone who had
ever seen you on the stage would know bet
ter than that and so you were given the
theatrical room."
And yet the death rate in Austin is very
highly spoken of. In 1887 it was fourteen
per thousand. In J.888 it was twelve to tbe
thousand, and in 1889 it was only ten. I
liked Austin very much indeed. There is
no malaria there, and tbe Legislature is
restricted by wholesoms sanitary regula
tion?, so that Austin is a very healthful and
handsome place. Tbe Capitol building has
a fame that is world wide. It is a very
har.d'orae building, resembling the Capitol
at Washington, but built of a beautiful
chocolate-colored stone instead of marble.
It Is Good for the Fhyslqne.

of Jacksonville, Fla., and the climate is

vear. I was told in Chicago that I would
lose CO pounds while traveling through
Texas, as tbe hotels were exceedingly bad.
I have gained eight pounds, and the weight
of my excess baggage has also increased
while here. I now leel like a new man. I
am no longer afflicted with low spirits,
dread of a violent death on the scaffold,
night sweats, constant craving for food,
ringing in the ears, repugnance to work, or
moth patches.
The mocking bird is quite common in
Austin. It is heard very oiten in the wild
wood putting up a ptsan at early morn or set
of sun. I beard one the other morning that
could give a very good imitation of a
guinea hen. It was so good that no one
conld tell the difference. So she might
about as well have been a guinea hen, so
far as the listener was concerned. We
should learn from this to imitate only those
who are worthy. Here was a sweet voiced
songster of the woods who could have sur
prised and delighted every one, but she had
prostituted her talents to an ignoble .end,
and through the long hours seemed content
to cluck and rattle with the monotonous
and metallic clatter which characterizes the
vacant mind oi tbe guinea hen.
The Choctaw and His Jag.
Along here one occasionally sees the
noble Choctaw associated with an Etruscan
jag. The Indian and white man are quite
different when sober.but exactly alike when
drunk. Their aspirations, hopes, fears,
passions and tendencies are tbe same then.
The Choctaws have a village under the man
agement of a chief, who attends to every
thing, even to the punishment for murder.
The law of the State does not pool with the
Choctaw settlement If one kills another
in an unguarded moment, the chief sends
for tbe murderer and tells him what he
thinks of him.
The country in spots Is still quite unset
tled, and the primeval forest may be seen
for miles and miles. Yesterday a slight,
girlish figure might bare been seen tripping
gayly toward the depot as the train ap
proached. She was ail dressed np and had

a little portmanteau. Her figure was grace-,
lul and petite. She dressed neatly, and her
clothes fitted her like the bright and angry
suificeol aboil. She seated herseU with
great dignity, and everybody's eye was
upon her. A fine looking traveling man
removed tbe curl papers from his nfoustache,
and there was a general sensation through
the car. I was anxious to hear her voice,
for I am a crank on that subject. No mat
ter how beautiful a woman maybe, with a
harsh voice she is a disappointment, L
with tbe rest of the passengers, remained
almost breathless waiting for her to speak.
What the Texas Beauty Said.
As the train slowly moved out of the
depot she opened the window, looked out
hurriedly, and with a little winning yet im
patient toss of the head exclaimed: "Ob,
rats! they have left them there trunks of
mine." (This is an actual fact)
Then it was so still there that all you
could hear was tbe quick, half-drawn pants
of a colored man from Nagadocbez.
Texas Is a marvelous State, as I have had
occasion to say before. There are 16 kinds
of climate and a million kinds of flora and
launa in this vast empire. Cotton grows in
great abundance in almost all parts of the
State, and at Galveston, fifes, bananas,
oranges and lemons are to be seen growine
as naturally as potatoes. At Galveston the

jnst as the Michigan man does his thrashing

to come up smiling in the spring. The
oleander is now in- fnll bloom. Also the
cape jasmine, a big, beautiful bloom that
jnst turns itself loose regardless of expense
and perfumes a whole county at a time.
Needed Ills Stump Fuller Badly.
Texas, of course, is quite a new State, and
often for miles along the road the newly
cleared fields are heavily and profusely
punctuated with stumps. I never regretted
more thoroughly my.haste and thoughtless
ness in coming away without my stump
puller than I have on this trip.
. Yesterday, on tbe Houston and Shreve-
'port road, a man who had boarded the train
about an hour before looked out a window
just as we were going through a sort oi
swamp and lost bis hat off. It was qnite a
while before he could get the train to stop,
but it did, and heaven is my jndge, the
train stopped but the conductor refused to
go back after the hat Tbe man who lost it
had to go back and get it himself. It was a
miserable old felt hat, with a broad brim
and an oily dado arounl the crown too. I
never saw a cannon ball train stop for such a
poor hat
Business Is poor on this road, and so it
has to bo obliging. It requires over 11
hours to run from Houston to Shreveport,
and then sometimes you are on tbe Shreve
port 'bus three hours more. Tbe Shreveport
'bus is reckoned all over the world to be the
toughest method of travel known.
Streets Liko Tose of the Bast End.
The streets of Shreveport have no bottom,
and, as in many other Sonthern cities,
thousands of dollars' worth of bricks,brokeu
stone, gravel and idiocy are piled on top of
this rapacions and hungry mudhole, only to
disappear in a month or so, and year after
year a hollow chested treasury sobs upon
the bosom of a tadpole infested street, while
the commercial man, the most dangerous
advertiser in the world, damns Jbese
wretched roads in every city where he reg
isters, and thus a little ill directed energy
damages the fair fame of an excellent town.
There is something 'spicy and free and
reckless and thrivingand unconstrained and
hospitable about Texas, though, that cap
tures me. If your soul is getting corns on
;t lrom trying to turn' around in tbe wall

WOOD FOB LOCOMOTIVE FUEL.
TChmt Strikes the Traveler When Be Bides
Into Sonthern States.
IWBITXBN-rOR THE DISPATCH.:
Tbrougbout tbe border States of tbe Sontb
the fnel for domestic use as well as for run
ning machinery is wood. On all the rail
roads wood is used exclusively for firing
the engines. Each tender of the engine is
stacked high with short lengths of wood
ready for use, which, have been gathered
from the immense piles thatare seen at reg
ular intervals along the lines. Pine is
plentiful in the coast States, and is the
wood principally used. It kindles easily,
as everyon knows, and generates' rapidly
an intense heat, and still" dees not consume
as quickly as. at first appears. Passenger
trains are frequently ran from 117 to 129
miles with one cord of this wood.
The traveler on these roads is apt to find
the thicK; black smoke from the rich pine
thrown off by the engine equally as annoy
ing and disagreeable as tbe sulphur fumes
from the bituminous coal in common use on
roads throughout the coal regions. Back
from the smokestack is thrown a continual
xhower of sparks, making a pretty sight by
night. These bits of fire, as a rule, die out
quickly, and do very little damage. Bnt a
spark "may occasionally enter through an
open door or window and burn its way into
your clothing or the cushions of the ceat
Another disagreeable leature attending
travel on these roads Is the dust you'en
counter at all seasons of the year. Close
th" windows and doors of .the coach as you
wil, the white sand dnst will enter tbe
crevices and cover you from head t6 foot
Belore you reach your journey's end you
will likely think ynu will either be suffo
cated with the tar smoke of the pine fuel or
strangled with the dust. .For this reason
travelers once; passing over Southern rail
roads see tbe necessity of providing them
selves well with linen dnsters or traveling
cloaks as a double protection against sparks
from locomotives and dust of the wayside,

are wasting Hopelessly with disease, while
tbe faculty are earnestly discussing new
treatments of tuberculosis aud grip. it is
time to study the lessons of common sense
in regard to health. The tendency of the
best minds is to accept the methods of spe
cialists with discrimination, to hesitate
over singular treatment and follow more
rigidly the lines of health, including those
of comfort
The people have a right to know what
concerns their health and lives. Such
questions interest them more nearly than
social topics or politics. It is time they
knew more about themselves, the beating of
their own hearts, the condition of their own
blood, whether life or death .giving to the
law and to the testimonv on these things.
If I condense and transfate the epics of doc
tors' note books, it is believing that the
laity cannot know too mach about matters
hitherto left in the exclusive keeping of the
medical profession. It is no more safe or
just to do this than to leave our property
solely to the care' of others, heedless our
selves of the rates of interest or profit accru
ing a neglect which commonly leads to
ruin.
Storj o a Lost Life.
The following stury is condensed from a
tract by an American physician well-known
both sides of the Atlantic. It is so signifi
cant in its cautions, ! have chosen it for a
first lesson, spite of its unhappy ending.
Bead aright it'reiterates the hopeful ability
of the human system to resist repeated at
tacks of disease, if strict conditions of
health are obeyed. What these conditions
are it repeats in staring type. Is it blind
ness of head or heart which cannot inter
pret? In May, 1887, Mrs. , aged 25, came to
New York for medical care. Her father
and a sister bad died of tubercle, and her
blood was tuberculous; (a) the sputum had
lung fibres and she was also suffering from
inward enlargement In one month of care
ful dieting and medication her cough dis
appeared, tbe lung gave evidence of heal
ing, the blood became healthy, the heart
beat easier and the enlargement was re
duced to normal size. Her. case had shown
unusual progress and she had with her great
resiliency done more in a month than is
usually accomplished in six.
She Flayed Too Hard.
During the summer she did fairly well:
had been ordered to take much outdoor ex
ercise. This she overdid (b) there is such
a thing as patients playing too bard as well
as working too bard. Family tronbles wor
ried her, and different beef (c) gave her
diarrlima, so that in the fall she began to
run down again. In November she returned
to New York, traveling alone: caught cold.
on the sleeping car (c) and had an attack or
congestion of the lnngs on arriving, which
set her back. Still 8he pulled out all right,
and in January went home. Before leav
ing she walked to the top of the Metropoli
tan Opera House, over 100 steps, to hear lit
tle Josef Hoffman play. She was in good
flesh; no cough. On reaching home she
walked nearly a mile over an icy road up a
hill to her bonse without fatigue.
AH went well awhile till her cook left; her;
then came a great deal of trouble in getting
help; the patient bad to go into the kitchen
and cook for seven beside ber family; (b)
bad to go into the kitchen is hardly truth.
She was a woman of good family, her father
among the first in his profession; her mother
highly cultivated. The patient had, one of
those exquisite nervous systems that brooked
no delay; (b) she loved to carry on her
household. with the utmost precision. Be
fore her first child was born she had for one
summer carried an affairs for a family of 17.
(b) Her husband owned a large stock farm
with an extensive and expensive plant of
full blood cattle in a malarial region (a).
Didn't Beallze the KosulU.
Neither he nor.she realized the suicidal
result of her working, so in ber great desire
to keep things running smoothly (b) she did
work she ought not to have done,and the first
result was congestion of the lung the right
one this time, not the left, which was the
one with tubercle. She came out from this
attack ot congestion, and later in th'e spring,
while driving, tbe horses started; she pulled
ber little son in by one hand and severely
wrenched herself so that sharp pains
came on.
Iu May, 1883, she was without a servant
and did her own work (b), did not feel well,
was tired, had much pain in the top of the
head, blood not normal, yeasty present in
spores. Soon she was taken sick with
chills in. back, lever, vomiting and de
lirium (a). She was relieved, but from a
bright, cheery, hopeful person she became
irritable and despondent, and at times dis
trustful of her friends. It seemed as if all
the good work done her health was
thoroughly undone. She convalesced
slowly, fed with oysters, chicken, cream,
new milk, fish, etc. In August the cough
began to come back, and, despite the phy
sician's urging to live as before, on beef
alone, the poor, sick' woman was so shat
tered by tbe meningitis that she could not
There can be no doubt tbe wrench received
when she pulled the boy into tbe carriage
had hurt her much.
Another Wonderful Improvement
In September lung fibres begau to appear
in the sputum, and on the 15th of tLat
month she bad four hemorrhages, finally
controlled by the atomizationof persulphate
of iron one part to 64 of water, and the use
of bngle weed and witch hazel internally.
She again took to bed and said she was
going to die. Hectic fever came on, bright
spots on cheeks, skin cold and sweaty,
pulse 120. She was encouraged to come
down to close beef diet, broiled. For her
cold skin.and its sweaty condition acid batbs
were used with salicin, also the primary
current from a galvanic battery in very
small doses for tbe internal trouble. It was
truly wonderfnl to see how that woman im
proved. In one week's time she was o'ut of
bed, was soou out driving, the 'sweats
stopped and tbe cough greatly diminished.
But the later part ot October she was so
much depressed by the malaria (a) that it
was decided to make'a change of climate.
The malaria, of course, was left behind and
she improved. A few weeks before Christ
mas she decided to make up a box of pres
ents for her children. It was feared the
brain work of choice and the labor of
needic-nork in these presents would injure
her. These fears were fully realized; she
had a very bad attack of borne-sickness and
ber appetite left her; she was given, as much
leeway as possible in ber diet and the
cough came back. Tho. night sweats re
turned, the lung fibres again appeared, tbe
bright spots in the cheeks showed that
death was again making good time in the
race. Christmas night, altera sad day, she
said: "Doctor, I am going to put my appe
tite behind my back, and eat broiled chop
ped beef four times a day in my room; I do
not want to see any other food."
What the Beet Did for Her.
In four days she said, "That 'beef really
begins to taste good fb me." After tbe
middle of January she never coughed
train. She had a well defined-goitre; (a)
alter going on rigid diet it slowly disap
peared and never bothered ber any more.
March, 1889, she bad a severe attack oi pain
in the left side which extended up by the
heart and down the arm. I puzzled the
doctors, till they found a fibrous thickening
of the bowel. Now this fibrous thickening
was of the same nature as the excessive de
velopment of connective tissue in tbe go'tro
(a): if the nutrition conld be held on proper
bans "nature in time would take it away, as
shehd done with tbe goitre and in other
l'89L
cases of thickenings. It must be remem
bered that such mal-developmenta in tbe
bowels are of poorly vitalized tissue and
very prone to pain. The indication was to
keep her comfortable, the bowels open and
ber nutrition as healthy as possible. She
was fed on beef, with a little vegetable food,
the bowels, kept open with small doses of
chemically pnre sulphate of soda (Glauber
salts) and the pain controlled as best
possible. ,
In May she went to the seashore at Buz
zard's Bay; here she was doing qnite well
when she 'went home back to malaria (a)
and less careful habits. Malaria attacked
her and probably there was some ptomaine
poisoning from pepsin ('), at any rate there
came on excessive fermentation, agonizing
pain, and she gradually sant, dying early
in Angust Thus ended a brave life.
Some of the Thoughts Suggested.
This history, duplicate of many which a
stranger can hardly read without bitter re
grets, provokes some searching questions.
(a) What right has any person of tuber
culous blood and descent to marry early in
life, till the system has fuliy matured its re
sisting strength or else has developed its
tendencies to disease? To marry young and
enter on hard work in a malarial climate is
sheer suicide. Bnt how raany'people am
bitious of getting on in life, stop to think
that to take the best business chances in an
unhealthy region is throwing the dice
with Death? In this case, with tubercnlous
blond and malarial air, the dice were
loaded. TJp to the very last it was the ma
larial poison, not the tubercle, which killed.
(b) The exquisite nervous Bystem is at
once the delight and the anxiety of doctors
by its . susceptibility to good or bad sur
roundings. Grosser natures are insen
sible, apparently, to bad air, bad food and
depressing circumstances, but once attacked
by disease go down fatally, more surely
than the high strung, delicate sort The
latter are easily depressed, bnt given', a
chauce get the better of a dozen attacks
which kill ordinary people. It is monrnful
that social and inferior ambitions turn off
this'spiendid force to money making, show
housekeeping, to observance of social and
family rites, to petty economies even, while
health aud life are set aside.
Overworked From First to Iaut
Heavily weighted as she was by birth and
bad air, this smart, sensitive woman mnst
overwork herself from first to last. You can
see her, working for a household of 17 peo
ple the first summer of her married life, when
she should have been most careful of her
self; breaking down in the spring of 1877;
better in a month; overdoing her outdoor ex
ercise in the summer; Tunning down in tbe
fall; well from January till the cook goes,
and she needlessly takes the work for seven
besides her own family, and breaks down
with meningitis in May; cough again in
Angust; bleeding from tbe lungs in Septem
ber; feels sbe'is going to.die, but under treat
ment is out'of bed'in-s: week. "She flees tbe
malaria which depresses her, but docs not
leave her misdirected energy behind.
Everybody else is making Christmas pres
ents, upon 'which women squander money
and strength, as brides do on their trous
seaus. She feels- she must not be behind tbe
rest there must be & box of presents for the
children, no matter if their mother's life
goes into that box. This remnant of euergy
should have gone toward laying up strength.
Anyhow, spending it left he bankrupt for
tbe time. She never had strength to squan
der any more in the nine months remaining
of her life. A woman with vitality enough
to vanquish a goitre in September, if pru
dent of ber strength, might have possibly
escaped tbe fibroid which finally wore her
out with pain.
Measure Work by Strength.
Ten thousand wives and mothers will read
this, who used the same caution for the com
ing summer and year, which could have
saved this brave, rash invalid at least some
precions months of life. Will they have
courage, if needlnl, to measnre their work
by their strength, to let anything go which
conflicts with health and easy living? How
many will have conscience and loyalty to
their own to 'say: "I must give up this
committee and club work. I cannot attend
a reception or give a dinner this season,
perhaps not for a year or two, till my
strength is settled again."
Friends want to visit them or insist affec
tionately on visits from them. Doctors
should be subpeenaed to say how many good
women have got .their death in entertaining
visiting friends, or going tiresome
journevs to visit others. If the
startling truth were known, the ghastly
list recited, friends would not be hurt,
or busfauds disanpointed by a refusal to be
worked to death in tbe name of hospitality
given or received. As for housekeeping, it
is better to take the children ont of school
all summer to help mother, or hire a boy for
indoor work if no sort of help is available;
better to sleep in unmade beds and eat
canned dinners, wear rough dry linen and
sweep once a month, dreadful penalties, but
worth endurance to save needed strength.
Death Larking In the Nerves.
If you can't'keep up with society and
housekeeping together, let society go first,
and housekeeping after it, rather than trade
on nerves till they let the soul out I can
not write strongly enough on this point Tbe
one thing invaluable to a family is the life
of its mother and wife.
When once the vital force begins to run
down it seems as if everything could be de
pended on to drive a nail in one's coffin..
The indiflerent beef whose fault was that?
The cold caught on the sleeping car, un
ventilated, unprovided with sufficient cover
ing, ill warmed or overwarmed, does not
matter; one is as bad as the other. .Sleeping
cars have sown seeds of death in many a
frail traveler. The ptomaino poisoning
from pepsin not prepared with sufficient
care whose fault was that? The latter
finished the deadly work and clinched tbe
last nail which shut this" woman away from
ber world forever. It is impossible to deny
that the prevention of any one of these
disasters might have left the balance of
vitality in ber favor. The growing refine
ment of bnmauity means increasing suscepti
bility for good aud evil. And there
is no evil, whether a chilly sleeping
car, food ill prepared, or impure medicine,
which you and I may not have to meet with
vital energies so depressed, that it is the fin
ishing stroke to our lives. Tubercle causes
death what causes tubercle, meningitis;
fibroid, crip? Microbes bred and nourished of
the false conditions of onr soil and habits.
Correct these, and microbes, tubercles and
fibroids disappear. Shibi.ey'Dabe.

Nb-w York, April 25. "About 200 in
fants a year are found deserted in tbe streets
of New York," said tho. police sergeant in
charge of a station house.
The future of those who begin life thus
inauspiciously would not appear to be very
bright Yet the humane societies o'f the
metropolis take pretty good care qf these
waifs, found upon the doorsteps, in hall
ways, or on the park benches. They are
sent to tbe Infants' Hospital, Bandall's
Island, registered, named and either adopted
by childless people or are farmed out to
persons ontside of New York.
The care of these foundlings ceases, bow
ever, when they are 16 years of age. They
must tberealter scratch for themselves.
Aside from those lucky enough to find well-to-do
papas and mammas the children. of
nobody probably fare no better and no
worse than the children of thousands of poor
or criminal parents who live within the
shadows of the great ci.ty.
The Baby's Health and Appearance.
It is by no means unusual for healthy,
handsome babies from the ranks of these
abandoned children to find happy homes
and loving hearts and to never know that
they were born to anything or anybody else.
But the great majority of babies are not
handsome and a very large minority of the
poor little Anocents promiscuously left
around town are- not even healthy. The
official baby farmers in the country have
the financial, inducement of $12 per month
110 for board and. $2 for clothes to pro
long the infantile existence. When the
latter arrives at an age when it can "pick
up cblps;"'that is, render some service.why,
that is so much additional. Its career
thenceforward till 16 is that of the tra
ditional "bound boy," or girl. Everybody
knows about what that is.- .,
From 16 years of age the 'future of the
foundling may be classed with that of tbe
children ot the indigent population sen
erally. Perhaps the fonndling has some
what the advantage in, point of discipline.
At any ratj, the physical struggle is prac
tically over. From that time forward the
individual is presumably ably to look out
for himself. '
The Critical Years of Life,
The moral fight has just begun. Let those
youths and misses who are close-sheltered
neath the parental wings during the period
embraced between 16 and 21 not chate and
fret in tbe apron strings, but thank heaven
for that counsel and protection. .If there is
a block of years to be picked ont of human
life nnd laid aside marked "critical" it is
I the period from 16 to 20.
Four-fifths of tire entirecriminal popula
tion of New York, from year to year, are
embraced in that narrow limit More crimes
are committed and more people go wrong in
that period of life than all other years flat
together. Bead the long list of females
scooped in byoccasional raids in Chinatown
and the other purlicns ot this city. Girls
from IS to 201 Bead the story of daily
crimes. Hoodlums, burglars, murderers
boys from 15 to 211 Setting aside the
hardened class who have passed the critical
period and are now numbered among the in
cnrrigibles, the entire criminal calendar of
New York crimes and criminals, males
and females comes practically within 15
and 21.
Caught In the Police brae Net
The other night tbe police swooped down
upon the worst quarter of the city a quar
ter reeking with the opium dens and dregs
of Oriental viciousness. The streets were
blocked, the alleys and back'ways guarded,
then a special squad were sent in to beat
the bushes for human game. Only the
women were to be taken. And these poured
forth by scores, many but balf dressed, in
the attempt to escape. They were cornered
like sheep in every direction and were
marched in one compact body over 50 of
them to tbe station house cells.
They were young American girls of from
15 to 21. Not a mature woman among them
in point of age. They were children who
ought to be in the schools and members of
Sunday schools. Instead of that they were
found with the very wor3t product of civil
ization. And do you presume for a moment
that arrest and 'temporary imprisonment
had any humiliation for these girls? Not a
bit of itl They sang songs all night, "as if
they were at a picnic," said a ketper.
Treasons ot the Police Court.
Let the interested investigator sit in the
little morbid crowd of regular morning visi
tors in any of the police courts and take an
inventoryof humanity in the dock. Clear
away the human rubbish of drunks and
vagabond. Now, what do you see?
Young faces.
Yontbful figures.
Boys.
Girls.
Ninety per cent American born.
These are New York's criminals. These
boys and girls are being ground through the
modern mill of the gods the police court
for every crime conceivable and, aye, in
conceivable! Yod didn't expect to see such
a sight as this. No; you thought only of
men aud women of mature age with seared
faces, gray hairs and faces case-hardened by
long continued offenses against the law.
And 'here aud there you will see just such
peonle, but almost every one of them began
wrong-doing buck in the period of adoles
cence. The general run of the material is
early manhood and early womanhood.
Almost All of American Birth.
Go to public resorts about midnight, and
later. Look around you well. Yes; it is the
same phase of youth and beauty. And
Americans, tool They are of tbe Anglo
Saxon race. The same tongne you beard
from tbe prisoners' dock. Tbe same lan
guage that arose in the feminine chflrus from
the station house ceils!
Where are tbe despised Italians? Where
are tbe alleged offscourings ot the Old
World that are dumped into New York at
the rate of 2,000 per day? Not here. The
"off-scouring" are at work. These are
American-born boys and girls, the Droduct
of American civilization. It is the young
aud inexperienced who sthmbie and fall ont
out of the ranks. It is the province of
youth to err. As a rule, men and women of
mature age do not commit crime. Excep
tional cases there are, it is true. But, as a
rule, the boy who passes the age of 21 in
safety is all right His character is formed.
At 25 a straight record is a coat of mail and
sword and 'buckler. Accident alone can
down bim. A girl in her 20th year un
spotted by the world Js reasonably secure
against tronble, and this whether she is
under tbe parental roof or is alone and
working lor a livinpin New York.
Care For the Ninety and Nine.
Millions are spen( here annually to pro
mote the advancement of tbe human race in
morals, in education,, in art and 'science.
Not one dollar in a thousand so spent goes
even in the direction of. those whose moral
welfare is,a social hazard and tbe environs
ment of whose daily Jfves makes, them a
standing menace .to law and order. It is
the same old scriptural case of the ninety
and nine just men taken excellent care of
and tbe one sinner being allowed to
shift for himself, or,, to go to the devil.
But the loater and the thief and their chil
dren being raised to the station house cells
of New York are.part of a great social prob
lem; difficult to reach and comprehend, Tbe
solving of that nroblem in these davs. as of
I. old, would require eonsiderable well di
SS
rected human energy, much money and the
backing of the Almighty.
There are hot-beds of heathenism in this
city ten times more appalling thin any that
ever existed in darkest Africa. 31 ere can
nibalism of the benighted Senegambian is but
a disagreeable feature compared to the
moral rottenness that underlies civilized -Gotham.
