Oar Destii Bate Financial Loss to 168 Coontrj From PreTentable ;V!' v Diseases. . : In the United States durins: the' next three or four minutes ten or twelve people will die; th4 next sixty ' minutes -will be the hour of death for 175 bthers, and today's sun will set on 4,000 new made graves, while as many un dertakers will make prepation for tomorrow's repetition of to day's tragedy. . . This meanea, accordinjr to the United States Census Report, 1,500,000 deaths in the United States every vear. It means, in addition, an amount of sick ness productive of a loss of labor equivalent to the total incapaci tation for the entire year of 3, 000,000 people. Forty-two per cent of the 1,500.000 deaths, or 600,000 deaths, are preventable. The testimony of expert' opinion, of scientific facts, and, of actual results to the truth of this state ment is convincing. Political economists estimate that the productive energy wast ed through, preventable disease amounts to a financial loss to the United States of over $1,000,000, 000 annually. This is more than enough to pay the entire annual exDenses of our national govern ment; enough in-one year to both dig and forti fy the Panama Canal. Preventable diseases is, therefore a grave public concern. But, is it not a problem of tre mendous importance to the indi vidual, -to you? Let's see. Di vid:vthe total loss to the United States from this cause by the to tal population-$l. 000,000,000 di vided by 95,000.000, and we find that preventable disease taxes the individual $11.75 per annum. Satisfy yourself on this point. Take ten neighboring families; estimate their expenses from sick ness from tuberculosis, malaria, typhoid, and hookworm; add to this 80 per cent of the expenses from summer diarrhoeas, and 50 per cent to the contagious diseas es of childhood; add losses from death estimated as follows: child under one year of age, $90; child five yeors old.$950; child ten years old, $2,000; persons twenty years old, $4,000; thirty years old, $4,100; ,fity vears, $2,000. Then remember there 8e many losses from physically defective eyes, ears, throats, and other or gains ' which; should have been recognized before the damage was4 done. All these expenses compounded vml iaake a per capita tax from ten' tos twenty times larger, than the govern ment per capita tax of a citizen of this State. ;. But it is the part of human nature to think of self as the ex ception to the rule.' I have inl mind now a family living ona farm where no case of typhoid has occurred in the fifty years in which this place has been used as a home the head 'of ; this family has frequentiv boasted of the - freedom &of .the place and family from the disease; the country isolation of this home, tne surface contour of the jrard and surroundings, the; depth of the well, and the unknown oc currence of the disease; on that hill might persuade onetoreirard this family as an exception to the rule of 1 case of typhirid to $ of a family; might persuadehe head; of such a family to feel tidbit; in different to thtvphoid problem, The. children are growing up, like all other childteri:one iby Hme th'eyw1eavfnif;thei)Webf ? safety and coming under the general rules which govern their kind. The two oldest, the two that have been away from home thelongeBt, have both had ty phoid, giving even in that appar ently typhoid-free family, the rule more than it dues; 1 out of 5, instead of 1 out of 6. ). r . The wise man governs his life by rules, by probabilities, not by exceptions. If you are wise, so live that preventable disease will long delay taking toll of you and yours; this means, study the question of health.' HargaroiisviUe News. Rev. B. H.

Masterson, Har put) Both the water and the musk melon of Diarbekir are the larg est I have ever seen. Water melons grown in Diarbekir each as lage as a flour barrel, and muskmelons but little smaller, only the muskmelon isA rounder like a pumpkin. These melons are raised in the bed of .Tigris, as after the spring rains axe over and the snows have all melted from the moun tains the river shrinks to com parative insignificance, and large tracts of the bottom ..land are thus exposed. ' .This land is plow ed, and in each hill where the seedsxare planted a quantity of pigeon manure is mixed in with the eiarthr. There are people in Diarbekir engaged - in breedin pigeons for no other purpose than to Bell the manure to the melon growers. ' ( As the melons are growing ovi the moist soil of what was a ri er for six months of the year, irrigation is ' necessary - an , though it seldom rains duri the v summer, the melon vii never dry upr,The meat of thde water and musk molons is, h ever, very coarse arid not ne as sweet as the melons of smaier varieties grown in cither distipta of tnis country. , , i .

Morgah, the raider, along about 1863, swooped down upon the Federal garrison at Hartsville, Tenn. Morgan had only about 1,200 men, while the Union forces numbered about 2.000 Still, Moi gan lusually knew whal He was about result: Several hundred Federals killed and the rest captured. As soon as the battle was over the Confederates recrossed the Cumberland River. Among the rearguard was private Lurton, of the Third Kentucky cavalry. He was the last man to rccross the rivpr and just ahead of him wa3 th last Confederate wagon, loaded with federal musketsard other captured articles. In the meantime the sound of Morgan's guns had disturbed the slumbers of another Kentuckian. This one was a Union soldier. Harlan by name, and he was col onel of the Tenth Kentucky in fantry at Castalian Springs, 6 miles from Hartsville.' He im mediately started with his regi ment to the relief of the garrison at Hartsvzlle.' Harlan and his regiment reach ed the top of a bluff back from the river just as Lurton and the last wagon of the Confederates was in the middle of the Cum berland. Harlan had a field piece along '' and he pointed it at the Confederate calvary man and banged away. He didn't hit the cavaJti&iBcetneartklnd kept trying. '; ; Nevertheless, Harlan's shells hit the river in the immediate vi cinity of cavalryman and wagon. and they made a mighty 'splash. The driver cut loose his mules and made record time to the shore. If Lurton tarried, there is no record of it. " Today, in black robes, the col onel behind the cannon and the private on the horse sit side by side on the bench of the most august tribunal of the world. For the Federal was John Marshall Harlan and the Confederate was Horace Harmon Lurton and both are associate justices of the Su preme Court of America. This United States of ours is a great country and it is just such things as this Harlan-Lurton af fair that make us sure of it. When one of these Kentuckians banged awav at the other our country was in the throes of the fiercest and bloodiest civil war of al history.

The Chiiition Herald. There are women who look back regreatfully on lost accom plishments and waning powers. They have dropped into the whirl of,t housekeeping, have been caught and held and have done nothing else. Others there are with as much to do, as many children to care ifor and with means as small, who have reso lutely raised a barrier against the waste of their mental powers and have continued to take in new ideas. I can think of the wife of a minister who taught her boys Latin and prepared them for college over the mending basket and the kneading board. I re member a woman who amid varying fortunes, including a batt le with real poverty, never intermited her piano practice. She is beyond sixty to-day, and her playing is up to date, ko that she can still not only find delight in it herself, but is able to add much pleasure to a social even ing, and at any time can aid at a concert, if required. Were it necessary Lshe could teach as thoroughly and successfully as the youngest recruit in the ranks. Do riot permit moth and rust to invade the field of your life, dear sister woman. If you have al ready done so, change the situa tion at once. DonUIve Up. The Christian Heiald An uned woman was supposed to be on her deathbed. Her life had been one of particular use fulness in many directions, she had wovkedhard, age had "come upon her, and she felt her service was past, and that there was nothing more for her to do, so she began to regulate her affaire and prepare for the end. As she lay on what she thought was to be her deathbed, her son came into the room. The feeble wo man raised her eyes and looked upon him as she murmured, "My Aaa v Vvw ivivr : timi : Vino aaivia " "Why do you think so mother?" ne inquired. Because mere is nothing more for me to do," she wearily exclaimed. "Oh; . yes, there is, mother, something more for you to do, some one wants your help. An asred Jew was here yesterday, begging for your assistance. . tie is in want; can you not help him?" On hearing this,' the apparently dying woman exclaimed. "I shall help him, I shall help him. send for him im mediately. " When the old man came, she arose from her bed to minister to his wants. She now felt that her usefulness was not past; she willed to do more, so the vigor of life returned to her limbs and she lived eight years longer to help all who came to her door for ministerial assist ance or helpful advice.

Abraham Lincoln showed that he believed this in writing tm for his h'y friends the pledVe uf total ab stinence, eo often quotvd Each person must determine for him self the course he will take in re ference to hist ifta and appetitts, but those who exercise trie self restraint to avoid altogether the temptation of alcoholic liquor are on the safe and wiser side.'"
