It is better to keep well than to get well.although when one is sick it is desirable to get well.

An agitation has begun in England in favor of the workers in match factories and noted women, such as the Baroness Burdett-Couts, the Duchess of Sutherland and others, recently read papers denouncing the methods employed which ruin the health of the workers.

A “nose-tax” was in the ninth century exacted by the Danes from the householders of Ireland. It was so called, not because it was levied on noses, but from the fact that a failure to pay was punished by slitting the nose from tip to eyebrow. It was continued for thirteen years, when the householders, objecting to this treatment of their nasal ornaments, rose in rebellion, massacred all the Danes in Ireland, and put an end to the nose slitting.
