In thl way two very cxprt su Ive wonla have Invn added to our co ploua mother tongue. We wonder when they will lwoiue ohwdete? Not until pnnlena drive pruitery from tlw tlelil. aud the pnule Un-ouie as ex tinct aa the dodo. An, however, InhIi are still active, and particularly so of late, we venture to point otu the evils that are caused hy tliein. Injuatlce Is the first. And this g!m r!e to persii-ntion. hatred, malice aud all uiicharitahlem'SH. In "The lUiilH' dale Itomatui1," hy the author of "The Scarlet letter." Zenohia njiys. "Tin whole universe, her own sex and yours, and Providence or lesjlny to h'sit. make a eoiuuion cause acalnst Vv ni man who swerves one hair's hreadtli ont of the beaten track." Itnt tliin was lMi-anse anions the Puritan New Itajruindcr prudery was a unlversnl habit. I.Ike lludlhnts, they lel.'ii-e,l to "A sect whfise chief devotion lie In old. perverse antipathic. In falllriK out with that or this. And find inn something still amis." And so prudes today are still ae eustomcil to "OomiK)tind for sins they are Incline! to Ky (lanining those they have no mind to." Thua every walk of life Is Infested with some form of prwWy. Are we accustomed to enjoy with a thankful heart nnd a cheerful countenance the blessings which God gives ns, the heavy prude draws an elongated face and accuses us of frivolity. Io wr partake sparingly of the glass that cheers and avoid Insobriety, the tee total prude frowns nnd anys, "Touch not, taste not, handle not." Bnt as Dean Hole has Just written in his In teresting book "More Memories," 1 only ask them to give me credit, in turn, for the sincerity of my convic tions, that temperance means modera tion, and that the moderate use of nl eohol la a blessing ami not a curoc. Abiwe does not necessitate disuse, nnd I fall to ace why I should shave iry head because another man has brain fever, or rather water on the brain; why I should discard raiment because, some do wrt pity their tailors; or whj - I Hliould abstain from horse-exercise because thers liave ruined thiin selves by racing. So please don't suy "liecause I don't, you iimsn't." Are we gopd neighlKrs, fond hus fauds. true wives, reverencing out Maker ami striving to lo unto others s we would he done unto? The theol ogical prude presents iih with a bundle of dry creeds and demands our uu- iiuidiflfil assent under pain of eternal damnation. I)o we regard all llvltur reaturea as our co-hirs of Joy and sorrow, Isdlevlng with Oileridge, that "He prayeth best who lovetli btfttt: All things Ixith great and small?" The vegetarian prude thrusts her self or hi niHcIf tx-fore us and says with Ovid, "Xee sanguine sanguis nhrttir" lot not bbxMl be nourished by Mood. All ithi-xe modes of prudery, laiwover. are mild and harmless compared to (that which relates to ox or sexnul lehitioiis. We have seen young ma trons blush with shame when strang ers have gazed uisin their naked babes. The beautiful fight of the'1 little, rosy, fragile liKsirnatlons of in noconce, pure and spotls as from the Makers hands, could oiinisoti tlieir own mothers with blushes, Whnt folly is this! What Irreverence to Mm who mode us, and saw all His work that "it was very good." lit was not thus that Mary presented the infant Jesus to thoo who came to do lilm honor, and doubtless for many a year he ran and played with other children, ns they do even now In the Knst, witlk- out a vestige of covering. The pnii nt mock-modesty which Is horrillcd by the sight of a naked cltild or nude statue or picture Is a reproach to our weak-mindedness and to our defective moral training. If we wort not so nice as we are our Ideas would not lie ho nasty. We want more com mon sense, more philosophy on sexual matters, before the minds of our , children can Is; trained to purity and vice be more lessened thereby. For it i not what we si but how we see. If impurity exlsta in the oul, It will be Inflamed by the most innocent cause, but If pure it will regard all things of evil with Indifference nnd all of good with apnrolmtlon. It follows then that prudery Is a particular form t)f Impurity. But the mischief is that prudery grows by what it feiils utsm. If we encourage It we make n rod of iron for our own backs, Jt demands that nil shall rigidly conform to Its pre cepts, shall love what It loves and hate whnt It hates. Are we then to give way and be ruled by faddist for malities, and moral mountebanks? Are there to be no more "cakes and ale," no merry music nor sprightly dance, no play nor song for those hard-working and weary minds nnd Isslieg need recreation? Are the preposterous nos trums of hired agitators to be forced down our. throat whether we will or to a murae would end In a revrentu.u like that widen followed tle tNimntiMiMcalih unii I tit UeKtiHH t!i. hIkmiIiI koiiihI di-er ()iillii uf itti-j i." limit hurt' ever Ih-i-u kit. ii aud I lie viry fiiiI.Kl"ii wf virtue would le tapped.

When a community thor oughly iiKiMtcra the Idea that It ran, to a grout extent, prevent disease by proper precautionary sanitary meas ures.

The Ktihjoot of the final disposal of sewage has mn n constant source of i inliarrasf-iiient to all lisallties not so situated as to Is. able to discharge their sewage Into the sen lievotid the ett'.s-ts of tidal current. Often, In ease of large Inland towns, the sow- age illsehari,'isl Into rivers has so polluted mid poisoned the waters ns to entail serious disease upon com niniililisi whose water supply catnc IVotn this source. It Is being more clearly undersbsiil dally, that as the country growa In density of population, the problem of the safe dlsioal of sewage becomes it more complicated one. So far, no city has made her wastes a source of revenue, but In al I cases the removal lias en l. 'tiled considerable expense. The nbcolute necessity for utilizing ail organic refuse for mnniiiiul pul pites does not jet exist In this coun try and may not exlwt for years to come, but the lu-cosHlly for a safe dls- po'..il of all organic refuse Is a present and pressing one. The matter was forced iiiion the attention of Hie Itrit- Isli government many years ago, and (lie Rivers pollution commission, ap polniisl lu 1st;", made several resirts covering many phases of the uuohIIoii but leaving the main problem still uiiMolved. However, sullhlent testi mony was adduced to prove that most of tlie rivers of England were In a lilthy, polluted suite. That the stench from many of the rivers was ex tremely offensive and swltlve!y dan gerous to health. That lis!) were driven from tlie st reams by the in How of contaminated waters, and .ihat, In many cases, cities were sup plied with irlnking water taken al nioKt directly from these slreains, or at Hie lwt, f run, artlllelal ami, usually, extremely Instilllclent filters. If required many years to thoroughly arouse a strong public sentiment In linghiiid in favor of it rigid sanitary supervision, and the adoption of Hie most i fl'is-tlve moans of sewnge dis posal, The city of tendon wrestled with the subject for many years, and even now, they still have many knot ty problems to solve since the tides persist in returning to Iho city what tlie sewers carry away. In this country, but, little has been done In the way of the rolled ton of sanitary statistics. The statu of "irnssaehusotta, through her board of health, has given us valuable report a of work done ami Investigations made at the Lawrence experiment station, along the line of sewnge piirlftcmt.lon. Tim ti'iilloii.il board of health has rec ommended, and has seen curried to completion, souio very extonalvo san itary works, but' tholr eflUiency Is much curtailed by certain political Inliitences which op pose them. Al though sanitary science Is yet In Us Infancy, and opinions of sanitarians are conflicting on many points of tin- IMiitaiiee, yet this muck may ls cou iddered a established: Hmi: Tlurt ntetlasla of dry earth cuis.-rvancv are not adapted !o loeet the reuutivmetit of a ticrfoct sanitary mtstem.

From a series or expciiinouls,' ex tending over a number of years, tlie Massachusetts state board of health has arrived ut certain conclusions re garding the process of fill rat Ion of sewage, which I will now bliolly sillil mnits'.e: Tlie work has determined that With suitable filtering -materia! ninety per rent of the organic matter may ls removed from sewage, wheu filtering (it the rate of Iou.ihhi, gallons per day; In other words, ope note of lain! will purify the sewage front a population of 1,(100, assuming tlmt, phi gallons of sewage per capita reuches the disposal area, The experiment also show tiliat all but tho upper layer of six Inches of the filler can be used Indefinitely, while this upper layer re quire agitation nnd removal to keep up Its fiTlelency, The fact Ihat (In lower layer of a sewage filter do not become clmrgod with organic matters, even with years of use, Is a very nu portant one nnd lias been so thor oughly tested its to leave no doulit ou the point.

I submitted the remainder to electric discharge at a higher tension and In three hours this 8!) volume had la-en reduced loiil. A third time I placed tlie gas. inlved with benxliie, to a high current from a Ibitnhkorff battery, and the gaeous residue was only :V2. Tills hint produ i was not pure argon, as It was mixed with i"' product of electrical reaction iwrt.w benr.lm. The volume of gas (tl ived to be made up of pnrts of hydro gen, 1.5 parts of vapor of bennlne. and t7 pnrla ir argon. The solid residuum eiit-Kbtted of a yellow resinous subs tance, deposited upon the walls of the tuls. It was volatlllxod easily bv lieat and left an abundant charcoal de posit. The vapor were alkaline ap parently, but the qnaniltles were too small for reliable analysis. "Inning these experiments In pass ing electric current through argon mixed with benzine, I obtained splen did displays of colors similar In every respect to those of the aurora bnrenlls. Testing these Willi the spectroscope, tho lilentiitciitlon seemed fully con tinned,' It will Is necessary to Inves tigate further wilh larger quantities of new gas before any positive declara tion can be made, but the result al toady obtained certainly suggest that the nurora lsu-ealls may be caused by the action of elect lie currents upon the argon and other elements In the at mosphere."
