how to prevent those deaths.
Why do we not do it f It is

If a young man of from to
twenty-five years cf ago loses his
if will cost, to raise
another up from the cradle to tho
same age ; and I am sure that any
father who is engaged in the
pleasurable occupation of raising
a family of boys, will deny that it
can be done so cheaply. But on
this estimate, this Government is
losing times or
annually, in death from
typhoid fever- This is not all
that typhoid fever is costing us.
For every death from this disease,
at least ten other people are sick
with Five hundred thousand
who do not die are sick
each year with typhoid fever-
We will suppose that tho average
duration of the sickness is twenty-
eight days, and all physicians
will agree that this estimate is too
low. Tho person who has
fever is unable to re-
his vocation within a short-
time than three months. How-
ever, we will make our estimate
on the supposition that the aver
age time lost from work by a man
sick with typhoid fever is twenty-
eight days. Then tho aggregate
of time lost each year by people
sick with this disease amounts to
times twenty-eight days,
or days, which is
equivalent to more than
years. Supposing that the time
of the individual is worth cents
per day when he is well, this rep-
resents an actual loss of

doubled, for every per-

The 614.000,000 added
to the which is lost by
death makes a total sum of
or about for every
inhabitant, tho annual tribute
levied upon this Nation by the
one disease, typhoid fever. This
represents approximately the
amount which we pay every year
for the ignorance and
which we exercise in allowing
this disease to
among us.
I said that typhoid fever
is a disease, and that
the large number of deaths from
this disease is unnecessary. This
is true, not only theoretically, but
practical demonstrations are not
wanting. Prior to 1859 the city
of Munich, in Bavaria, was a
veritable hotbed of typhoid fever.
There were no sewers and no
public water supply- Most of the
houses were furnished with large
brick or wooden flues which were
built from the up through
tho different floors- Into these
the excretions from the body
were dropped and accumulated
in the cellars. Other waste ma-
was deposited in cesspools,
and garbage was thrown into
back yards. The air in the
houses was foul and offensive to
the sense of smell. The drinking
water was taken from shallow
wells in the yards, and these
often received the ooze from the
cesspools and vaults. In 1859 the
citizens were compelled to seal
tightly the bottoms and sides of
these receptacles of filth, and
later a system sewerage was
introduced, and later still a sup-
ply of wholesome drinking water
was obtained. Notwithstanding
the fact that portions of the city
still remain at the
time of the last report, the results
have been most gratifying. From
1852 to 1859 the typhoid deaths
per in Munich averaged
24.2. This has been gradually de-
creased, until in 1884 it was 1.4
per This shows what has
been done in an old and crowded
city, and Vienna has practically
repeated the demonstration made
by Munich. The majority of
cases of typhoid fever arise from
a contaminated water. That a
drinking water infected with the
discharges from a person sick
with typhoid fever may cause an
epidemic of the disease, there can,
no longer be any doubt. The
records of sanitary science
abound in histories of such cases.
Every physician of large
with this disease can detail
one or more instances in which
the disease has dearly
traced to infected water, and I
will consider that this method of
the dissemination of the disease
is recognized by all. It probably
is a safe estimate to say that bad
drinking water causes not loss
than deaths each year in

methods. For many consecutive

the mistake of devoting
nearly all their acreage to the
growing of cotton, with the
result of producing larger crops
than could at times, be harvested
or marketed to advantage. Con-
by costly experience of the
unwisdom of such a course, they
have the policy of put-
ting all the ex-i in one basket;
and to growing many
necessaries of life, which, under
their former easy-going system of
living, they were to

crops has already proven a good
thing for their pockets; and it
will prove a good thing also for
their farms.

The investigation of the

Although the proceedings are
supposed to be secret, the nature
of the testimony taken becomes
known almost as soon as it would
if the hearings were public. Con-
comment not favorable

indulged in this week. Senator
Frye had reported the health of
Mr. Stevens to be so precarious
that it might prevent his coming
to Washington to testify before
the committee, yet the newspapers
all contained accounts of his

Maine to Island in order
to deliver a speech on Hawaii at
a club banquet. Now the
is being asked, why, if his
health permits him to attend club
banquets and sit up two-thirds of
a night to make a set speech, it
should prevent his coming to the
mild climate of Washington and
giving the committee a few hours
of his time during the day Per-
haps the oath which the commit-
tee administers to its witness may
have something to do with the
reluctance of Mr- Stephens. A
man doesn't have to swear to
statements made in a banquet

for the coinage of the silver
lion in the Treasury as rapidly as
possible. Mr. Bland thinks the
adoption of this bill preferable
to an issue of bonds to meet cur-

A Washington special to the
New York Press It is re-
ported that President Cleveland
has determined to appoint Jose-
Daniels of North Carolina,
public printer.
Daniels is now the chief clerk
of the Interior Department. He
soon won the confidence of Hoke
Smith and made himself quite
popular with Senators and Con-
in their office hunting
forays, but none of them has
ever dreamed of him for public
printer, the fattest office under
the place that
controls upward of
offices not subject to Civil
Service rules. Mr. Daniels at-
the President's notice in
his attendance upon Smith at
Cabinet meetings and was slated
for public printer when it was
seen that the contest among the
leading aspirants for the place
was so bitter that a dark horse
was desirable. So far no member
of either House has been taken
into the President's confidence

Greenville, N. C, Jan, 1894.
Editor Eastern
I feel it my duty to speak to
my friends and the public through
your columns, with your kind in-
of the great benefits
I and others have from
the treatment for the liquor habit
at the Institute of Green-
ville. But first let me return my
heartfelt thanks to the better class
of the citizens of Greenville for
their many courtesies and kind-
extended to me and my
fellow patients during our three
weeks stay in your midst. To Mr.
Andrew Joyner the excellent
Manager and Christian gentleman,
Mr. James Joyner his patient and
lovable assistant, to Baker
and Brown the healers of our
infirmities, my most grateful
thanks and kind shall
be ever due.
So many people ask me about
the treatment, I want to say to
them now once and for all, that
I consider it a God blessing
to our country, especially to our
county. It is not necessary for
a man to be a sot drunkard to be
damaged, or ruined by whiskey,
Like a thief in the night it steals
away his mind, his character, his
property and his physical strength
in such a quiet undermining
way that he hardly realizes his
condition. To all such the Green-
ville Institute is a pleasant home
where the broken down faculties
of the physical man can be built
up. It is a Jordan in
moral Leprosy can be washed
away. It is a Siloam where all
those who have become blind by
the disease of alcohol can wash
and come away Some
who every day and on all public
occasions, advertise themselves as
drunkards, keep away because
they are ashamed. A man who is
more ashamed to be cured of a
horrible disease and restored to
his family and country a sober
upright citizen, than to continue
a drunkard and a suffer, has
gotten to a sad condition
of moral and mental delusion.
God pity that man in his blind-
and open his eyes to the
light before it is too I wish
they would visit the Institute at
Greenville see what
big brained, whole souled
men are there drinking at the
fountain of health, enjoying
themselves in innocent games, or
friendly intercourse, or reading
out of the large library of excel-
lent books the manager has pro-
the daily papers, or stroll-
about the town eating, sleep-
resting as they have never
done before. I wish I could do-
scribe the feeling when a man
feels that old devil, whiskey de-
sire, is cast out There are no
words to describe the happiness.
You just feel like getting down on
your knees and thanking God
Almighty for the blessing. And
when those men go home, instead
of a bloated face and unsteady
step and a quart of liquor to slip
under the back steps, they go
home with a Bible and Prayer
Book in their pockets, a proud
step, a sense of freedom in the
heart and manhood in the body.
Oh ye wives and little children
weep for joy for this is your
band and lather who was dead and
is alive again, was lost and is found
There is no suffering whatever,
in the whole treatment. It has
been used in North Carolina for
nearly two years and I under-
stand that not a single graduate
has gone back to drink-
Mr- Editor, this Institute is a
blessing to all sufferers and to the
community, and with Governor
Jarvis I join in saying bless
God that science has placed relief
in Greenville for my suffering
Go on Bro. Joyner in the good
work, God and all good people
will stand by you and name
will be blessed in years long to
come by those whom you have
helped to rescue from the slough
of despond.
My friends, let what was weak
and frail in me, in the past, be
buried, forgotten and forgiven
and trust me for a nobler and a
better future-
Respectfully,
John I- Phillips.

While the urgent cry of the day

that as florists women are destined

The alert attention,
the daintiness of handling, the habit

much more highly developed in

the qualities necessary for the best

It is necessary to reduce floral

science. It is not imperative that
the present-day woman runs so
deeply into the scientific, but in
order to achieve results she must
take advantage of other people's re-

discoveries to further her own
pose. She must also keep very
track of the markets, the law
of supply and demand and the ca-

of money has been wasted by invest-

Complications of the Problem Which
Engaged the Men of
Result Measured Id Tout Writ-
ten In Twenty-Two
One of the problems that men of
science occasionally undertake to
over again for the sake of get-;
ting nearer to the exact truth is that
of the density and mass of the earth.
The density of a body is tho
of matter that a given volume
of it contains, while the mass is the
total quantity of matter that the
whole body contains. In a popular
sense the mass of a body is meas-
by its weight.
Water is taken as the standard of
comparison in estimating the den-
of the earth. It has been
know in a general way for a hundred
years that the earth's mean or aver-
age density is between five and six
times that of water; in other words,
that the earth weighs five or six
times as much as a globe of water of
the same size would weigh, provided
that the water in such a globe had
the same average density that water
has at the surface of the earth.
The matter composing the earth
Is denser in the interior than at the
surface. If that were not so It
would only be necessary to take a
cubic foot from the surface of the
globe and weigh it against a cubic
foot of water in order to ascertain
the density of the earth. As it is,
the earth's density can be learned
only by roundabout methods; by-
noting, for example, tho difference
in the attraction of gravitation at
the surface and at the bottom of a
mine.
Recently a new method of
the mass and density of the
earth has been put into practice in
France. This consists in changing
the level of a small lake, which can
be raised or lowered by artificial
means, and noting the effect upon
the height of a column of mercury.
The results of these experiments
have given for tho earth's mean
5.41 times tho density of the
water. Tho latest previous
mate, made by Messrs. and
Bailie, gave It has been

our ideas, notwithstanding the fact

LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY.
AN ANCIENT
The Bold Deception Practiced by the
Small Hero of the Play.
It has always been rather interest-
to me to remember that he first
presented himself in an
disguise, writes Mrs. Frances
Burnett in a paper entitled
Fauntleroy Really
in the Home Journal. It
was a disguise sufficiently artful to
have disarmed the most wary. I,
who am not at all a far-sighted per-
son, was completely taken in by him.
I saw nothing to warrant in the
slightest degree any suspicion that
he had descended to earth with
intentions; that he furtively
cherished plans of making himself
into the small hero of a book, the
picturesque subject of illustrations,
the inspiration of a fashion in cos-
the very premier in a
play over which people in two
would laugh and cry.
Perhaps in periods before he in-
himself to his family that
morning of April in a
house in Paris, he may have
known all this and laid out his little
plans with adroitness and
but when I first examined him
carefully as he lay on my arm look-
extremely harmless and ex-
fast asleep In his extremely
long night-gown, he did not bear at
all the aspect of a crafty and de-
signing person; he only looked warm
and comfortable and quite resigned
to his situation.
He had been clever enough to dis
guise himself as a new baby
in violet powder and a bald head and
a florid complexion.

In a few short hours Irene was
