Dust Is One of the Commonest Causes of Lung Mischief. It is a curious fact that butchers are almost exempt from consumption. If we remember that their shops are airy and open, that they are abundantly fed on animal food, and that from ‘early morning they are rapidly driving about inthe open air,taking much exercise.and living well, we shall be able to understand the influences which prevent the access of chest affections. These zonditions of open-air exercise and. high feeding are in fact antagonistic to consumption. It must not be supposed that we are urging all threatened consumptives to become butchers, but their mode of life might be imitated with advantage. Dust is one of the commonest causes of lung mischief. In many cases it .is not the only exciting cause, but often it is the chief and most deadly of several deleterious influences to which workmen are exposed. The mortality amongst those employed in many dusty occupations is simply enormous. We are told few men who enter certain rooms in cotton factories ever live to attain to the age of thirty-eight. Out of twenty-seven men in a certain flax factory, twenty-three had some form of chest disease: The noxious influences of varnishes, turpentine and drying oils in developing consumption is well known. Chest affections are by no means infrequent among artisans who use solder, such for instance as tinmen, coppersmiths and goldsmiths. Woodturners and those whose work necessitates the use of sand-paper, are usually great sufferers. Many plans have been devised for preventing the entrance of dust into the air-passages, and some are very simple and worthy of adoption. The practice of wearing a respirator, or a vailover the mouth and nostrils, with the growth of the beard and mustache, may be-cited as examples. The objection usually made to the respirator is the expense, but one made of cork can be obtained from the chemist’'s for a shilling. = The mid-day meal should never be taken in the workshop, and the hands should be washed before going out to dinner.. These may seem little matters, but only those who have workmen for patients know how constantly they are mneglected. In dusty occupations the pores of the skin get blocked -up by the dirt, and it then ceases to perform its functions. Normally it acts as a direct purifier of the blood, being associated with the kidneys and lungs in this office. —Family Physician.

CATCHING MENHADEN. How 165,000 of the Fishes Were Taken at One Haul of the Seine. - When well to the windward of the maroon water, describing a fishing expedition off the coast, the captain cried ‘Break away!” and off the little craft started, the mate’s men pulling in one direction and the captain’s in the other, the seine thus falling between the boats and gradually spreading in the water. When a little over 100 yards apart the captain waved his hands and then both of the boats turned at right angles and were rowed to the other end of the maroon water, between 300 and 400 feet distant. That point reached, the boats were turned again, and with oarssplashe ing in the water to scare the fish toward the impenetrable wall at the otlier end of the maroon stretch, rowed toward each other. . 1 When they met the wall was complete. Then the ‘‘tom,” a heavy lead weight, was thrown out and [the net was sunk 100 feet to its fulll depth. Even then the fish sometimes dove beneath the deep barrier, and more or less escaped in that way. ‘When the | ‘“tom” had been dropped the men beganfito pull on lines run through the lower portion of the net, and soon an immense bag was formed, from which there was no possible chance of escape for the menhaden except by breaking the twine, which they were powerless to do, although at times a solid body of fish nearly fifty feet in width would rush at once against it. Then as much of the net as possible was hauled into the boats, and Captain Cornell signaled the steamer. - Think of it, 165,000 fish—sso barrels is what there proved to be, and there are 300'in a barrel—cooped up by that terrible seine, and all struggling to escape, first in one direction and then in another. Each menhaden is about ten inches in length, and it was a mystery how 165,000 of them occupied a space not over twenty-five feet square. They squirmed, flopped and jumped, but all their efforts were useless, and soon, in four or five barrel lots at a time, they were being dumped, via a big bailing net, into the fish tank in the steamer. —Boston Herald.

TlME—Thursday evening, April 4, A. D. 20. The evening before the crucifixion; during the Passover feast described in the last lesson. PLACE—Jerusalem, in an upper room, where Jesus and His disciples were assembled to keep the Passover. LESSON HINTS AND HELPS. 24. ‘““And there was (arose) also a strife (lit., an eager con t‘éntion) ‘among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.” Not which of them should be really greatest, but who should appear so. . 25. “And He said unto them.” Apparently this was spoken after the disciples had scated themselves at the Passover supper (see John 13:2-5, where “being ended” should ‘be “having begun”). ‘‘The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them.” Better, as in 1 Pet. ver. 3, lord it over them. ‘“And they that exercise authority (have lordship) are called benefactors.” Insiston being called ‘“‘benefactors.”—Sadler. 26. “But ye shall not be so 0.” The principles of CLrist’s Kingdom are the exact reverse of those of the worldly kingdom. “But he that is greatest among you.” Some are greater than others, and it is blessed for all that it isso. It would not be well if God had made men as the machine makes pins, £‘all heads alike.” ‘Let him be as the younger.” Humble, retiring, never putting himself forward. “And he thatis chief, as he that doth serve.” = Using his position, his talents, his wealth, every thing that makes him chief, as a means of serving his fellow-men, and doing them good. . 27. “For whether is greater (which is regarded as the most honorable positien), he that sitteth at meat (and is waited upon) or he that serveth? but I am among you as he that serveth.” Jesus came into the world, “not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom to many.” 28. “Ye are they.” In spite of their faulgs, which He was compelled to reMe, they had done nobly. ¢“Which have continued with Me in My temptations.” Such as persecutions, reproaches, insults, dangers and rejection by His tellow-citizens, while many had fallen away, and especially Judas.

29. “And I appoint unto you a kingdom as My Father hath appointed unto Me.” A kingdom. Jesus has become the head of® the mightiest kingdom on earth, and its triumphs are increasing every day. :

30. That ye may eat and drink at My. table in My Kingdom.” This was a symbol of the highest dignity and closest intimacy . with the King of kings. ‘“And sit on thrones, judging (ruling over, governing, as the judges of old did in Israel), the twelve tribes (the whole body) of Israel.” Just when and how this shall be fulfilled we may not know; but whatever Christ’s Kingdom shall be, they shall partake of His joys, His triumphs, His glory, His reign. 81. ““And the .lLiord said, Simon, Simon.” The name is repeated to show the importance of what is to be said to him, and to express Jesus’ deep interest in him. ¢‘‘Satan hath desired to have yeu.” He is planning to test you as he tested Judas. ‘“That he may sift you as wheat.” The force of the comparison is that he may toss and shake you up and down; i. e., alarm and harass you until you fall from the faith, as the chaff and dust fall from the sieve.and are blown away.—Dßliss. : . 82. “But I have prayed for thee.” And Jesus still lives ‘‘to make intercession for us.” “That thy faith fail not.” Jesus did not pray that Peter might be saved from the trial, but saved in the trial.. ‘“‘And when thou art converted.” Turned back from thy sin, and made a new man, like gold tried in the fire. ‘‘Strengthen (stablish, confirm in the faith) thy brethren.” ‘‘Who will be shaken and enfeebled by thy apostasy,” or, rather, who will pass through similar trials. 33. “And he said unto Him, Lord, I am ready to go with Thee, both into prison, and to death.” The order of the Revision is, Lord, with Thee, etc., and indicates the emphasis on**with Thee.” 34. ““And He said, I tell thee Peter (the Rock), the cock shall not crow this day.” What was called ‘‘the cock crowing” was about three o’clock in the morning. ‘““Thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest Me.” From Mark (14:30, 81) we learn that Peter indignantly and vehemently denied this, and all the Apostles joined with him in declaring that they would die before they would deny Him. i

35. ““‘And He said unto them.” He forewarns them all of a change in their circumstances, and of coming dangers. **When I sent you withcut purse, scrip and shoes.” (Luke 10:1-9). *“Lacked ye any thing?” Till then, the Apostles, protected by the favor which Jesus enjoyed with the people, had led acothparatively easy life.—Godet. Leaih

36. “But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it.” The general purport of the verse appears to be a caution against the indolent and fanatical notion that diligence in the use of means is ‘‘carnal” and an unlawful dependence on an arm of flesh. ‘““And he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment (if necessary, as of less importance) and buy one.” = This was an impressive way of saying that they must be careful for their defense and preservation by natural means. !

37. ‘*This thatis writtem (in Isa. 53:12) must be accomplished (fulfilled) in Me.” The hour was at hand when He would be treated as a malefactor and crupified, and the disciples would be left like skeep without a shepherd. = .

Tue other night Geo.

It followed them for half an hour or more through the -woods. Every now and then the ‘‘painter” would give an unearthly yell, snarl and tear through the leaves. The boys had a couple of lanterns, and they think that had it mnot been for them they would have been attacked. They were badly frightened, and upon leaving the woods the panther made a spring at young Schalk and caught him by the coat tail. Striker hit the animal with his lantern. The globe burst and the oil, running upon the animal’s back, became ignited. The panthdr became about "as thoroughly frightened as the boys, and rushed howling and screaming through the woods, a veritable ball of fire.

. . THE PRESIDENT. He Spends a Quiet Sunday Among Friends at Indianapolis, His Old Home—His Reception in St. Louis. & InpraxaApors, Ind., Oct. 18.— The Presidential party spent a quiet and restful Sunday, something badly needed after the rush and fatigue of the last week. 1t was generally understood that any demonstration would -be distasteful to President Harrison’s strict Sabbatarian ideas, and none was attempted. A small crowd of personal friends greeted the party upcn its arrival at 6a. m., and the President. was driven at once to the residence of his son-in-law, Robert McKee, while Secretary Tracy went to the New-Denison Hotel and the rest of the party to other places. After breakfast at the MeKee residence the President attended services at the, First Presbyterian Church. The church had been elaborately decorated in autumn leaves and wascrowded to the doors, The pastor, Rev. M. L. Haines, preached from Luke, v., 9. It was Communion Sunday and the President remained through the service and was detained nearly an hour after it was over by quiet greetings .from old friends. After church services the President dined with Secretary Tracy at the New Denison, and informally received a large number of acquaintances in the hotel parlors afterwards At 4 o’clock he went out for a drive and was seen no more in public. He took supper with his daughter, Mrs. McKee, and retired to his car early in the evening. , St Louils, Oct. 13.—The special train bearing President Harrison and his party rolled into this city promptly at 9 oclock a. m., Saturday. The trip from Kansas City to St. Louis had been without special incidents. ~ =~ : At the depot here there was the us'&l huge throng in waiting. The President ‘was welcomed by Governor D. R. Francis, Mayor Edward A. Noonan and the local committee. ‘He was escorted to a carriage drawn by: four horses, in which rode also the Governor, the mayor and E. O. Stanard. Secretary - Tracy and the other members of the party followed in victorias, each accompanied by a member of the local committee. Preceded by the cavalry depot band, the line of carriages moved up Eleventh street, passing the First Regiment, M N. G., drawn up in’ line at the side of the street; the Grand Army posts, Sons of Veterans, Western Commercial Travelers’ Association, the Loyal Legion and other organizations. These fell in behind the double line of. carriages and the procession moved through some of the principal thoroaghfares, until the Southern Hotel was reached. At -the Southern Hotel the President reviewed the parade from the Walnut street balcony. At the conclusion ‘of the review the President retired to his room for an hour’s rest. , .‘ ' After a brief lunch the Presidentialparty was shortly after 12 o'clock taken by a §pecial committee to the Merchants’ Exchange, where the President was formally welcomed to the State. and city by Governor Francis and Mayor Noonan respectively. The President re-: sponded briefly. i o : Among other things he said: .

‘lt gives me pleasure to witness, since my last visit to St. Louis, the evidences of that steady and uninterrupted growth. which this great commercial center has made since . its transit as an Indian trading 'post on the Mississippi. ~No year has been without its evidence of wonderful development, of commerce and intercourse. You have struck the roots of your commerce and trade deep into the nourishing earth of this gredat fertile land in which you have lived, and the branches, the high branches of your -enterprise, are reaching toward the sunlight that shines upon you. Situated here upon the Mississippi river, with a water communication with the sea’ —a communication which this Government hag dertaken to improve ‘and secure, ‘- and which I believe will be made secure .by ‘proper legislation and assistance. - [Applause.] Nor do I know of any reason, why these great lineg of railway stretching from St. Louis to the Southwest may not yet touch great ports of commerce and deep harbors until ' they . shall become trunk lines. /'We have come to regard only the lines of railway = communication that connect with the Eastern seaports as trunk lines, 1 do not know why; indeed, I.believe that in the future, when we shall have seized again, as we will seize if we are true to ourselves, our own fair part of commerce upon the seas [long - and continued applause], and when we shall have again our appropriate share of South American trade—with these railroads from St. Louis stretching to the deep harbors on the gulf and communicating shores — with lines of ‘steamships that shall . touch the ports of South America and bring their tribute to you, you shall in all these things find an especial interest, an interest that will be shared by you as all great interests are by a Nation and people of which you are-a loyal and enterprising part.” [Applause.]

From the Merchant’s Exchange the President and his party were escorted to the Fair grounds, and conducted through its various departments by Governor Francis, Mayor Noonan, the reception committee and the officers of the fair. : e : On the return of the President to the city he and his party, Governor Francis. and Mayor Noonan, were entertained at a private dinner at the Southern Hotel.

D T e , - THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. Synopsis of the Report of Commissioner .. Groff, of the General Land Office —Near1y 19,000,000 Acres Taken Up by Set tlers During the Year. T 5 "WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—Judge Lewis ‘A Groff, the Commissioner of the Gene- - ral Land Office, has submitted’to the Secretary of the Interior the annual re-port-of the operations of his bureau for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1890. The report says that an agricultural domain of mearly 19,000,000 acres has during the year been transferred to settlers by patents issued to them. The area of coal and mineral lands patented has -been greatly increased over that of the fiscal year ended Jupe 30, 1889. The area patented to the States under the grants for educational and internal improvement purposes has increased 500 per cent. ‘The class of patents known as “agricultural” includes all patents issued on final and commuted homestead- entries, on pre-emption, timber culture, desert, private cash, town-site ‘and other e%ltries embracing land of an agricultural non-mineral character. The number of such agricultural patents issued during the period covered by the report was 117,247, embracing 18,758,520 - ‘acres, as against 750,141 issued in 1889, with an aggregate area of 11,220,560. The ‘increase for the year ‘is, therefore, 47,106 patents, and 7,536,960 acres of land. Of mineral and mill-site patents'l,4o7 were issued, showing an increase in the year of 494. ;()f coal patents 224 were issued. This is an increase 0f.69 patents, representing 15,376 acres. The acreage of swamp lands patented to the several States during the year was 109,351. There were patented or certided under the law for the benefit of railroad companies during the year 363,862 acres. This is a-decrease for the year of 61,183 acres. : Ar A

A statement of the acreage of public lands disposed of during the fiscal- year shows that by private entries 38,617 acres were disposed of, by preemption ‘entries, 2,204,905; timber and stone entries, 509,396; -desert land, 478,849. The total cash sales were 3,502'846. The acreage disposed | of by original homeéstead . entries was 5,5631,678; timber - culture, 1,78%,403; State selections, school and swamp, 258,141; railroad selectioms, 1,752,758; and others of a miscellaneous character making an aggregate of 9,362,685, The Indian lands disposed of aggregate 133,305 acres;, making a grand total of 12,798,337 acres. The total cash receipts of the office from various sources during the fiscal year was $7,780,517. Upon the subject of the forests of the public domain the .Commissioner says that he finds that the most valuable timber on the public lands is being rapidly *exhausted, and that the several laws relating to the subject are utterly inadequate properly to protect either ‘the public forests from unlawful appropriation or the interests of the settlers.
