To Chairmen County Central Commit tees: "Whereas, At the republican state con vention held at Lincoln October 5, 1887, the following resolution was adopted: Jiesolced, That the state central com mittee be instructed to embrace in its call for the next state convention the submis sion of the prohibition question to there publican voters at the republican pri maries. Therefore, in accordance with the above resolution, the several county cen tral committees are hereby instructed to include in their call for their next county convention the submission of the prohi bition question to the republican voters at the republican primaries.

Fred Douglas said, "Let it wave and do not be frightened by the cry of bloody shirt.' " That is good advice to republicans. The party has a duty to perform and should not be turned aside. The south is suppressing the right of suf frage, and raising false issues to divert attention. If opposing this is waving the bloody shirt, republicans can't be in better business. Let the garment wave. A curious conceit, "The Grand Tour Three Thousand Yeare Ago," is worked out in Harper's Magazine for July by W. 51. Finders Petrie, the well known antiquarian. His principal baggage for the trip consisted apparently of paper pulp and a photographic apparatus. From impressions and pictures then taken lie produces for this nineteenth-century world, a sketch of the Eastern races of the earth about the time they began to have relations with one another; when the culture of Babylon had not spread abroad, and before the Assyrians had be gun to descend like wolves on the folds of other people. The article is practical ly a picture gallery, for 5Ir. Petrie has furnished a number of plates, taken from immprtssions made en the tombs at Thebes, which are as good as photographs of men and women who lived about 1600 B. C. Some of them must have been very good-looking. The serious object of the article is to elucidate the origin of Egyptian civilization, and the result of 5fr-Petrie's discussion will be highly satisfactory to the student of antiquity. A Republican paper says that the re publican bandana is the stars and stripes. The democrats have a pretty large share in that bandana, too. In fact the Amer ican rw ple have intrusted themwith its custody. Who is it that raises the na tional emblem on our national buildings? Democrat. The democrats between twenty-five and thirty years ago renounced their share in the stare and stripes. The American peo ple have not intrusted it to the demo cratic keeping at all, but haye simply ud cautiously permitted the democrats to give some evidence f the sincerity of their repentence by protecting them with the Hag while the Ppirit is working in them. There being, however, no indica tions manifested in the four'year3 of pro bation tolerated to the democrats that there is any sincerity in their protesta tions of repentance, the American people, through the republican party, have taken charge of the flag again. The Thompson episode, the return of the rebel flags epi sode, and the adoration of the British flag through the synonym of the "red" bandana, is conclusive proof that the democrats are false to their trust. It may also be incidentally observed that the jan itors usually raise the flag over public buildings. No orthodox democrat could fniiQfipntiotislv Deform such an act. Ex press.

I discovered the reason. f took her in my arms for awhile and she was auiet as could be; as soon as 1 laid her down she kicked and squalled until 1 took her up again, when she immediately subsided. 1 tried the experiment of laying her down sev eral times, and every time I did so she started off with her cries. I at last discovered that it was because she had found out that being carried was more pleasant than lying in her cot I suppose I will have my hands full now, as at night time I will be walking the Uoor with her. I am out of practice, for it is now ten years since I have had any work of that kind.

Diphtheria is more evenly distributed through the year, and is most dangerous a little later than scarlet fever. Measles and whooping cough seem to be somewhat aggravated by cold weather but are most fatal in May and J una Hot weather is averse to smallpox and favorable to disorders of the bowels, particularly in children. An Explanation. What is this "nervous trouble" with which so many seem now to be afflicted ? If vou will remcmler a few years aro the word 5Ialaria was comparatively uu known, today it is as common as any word in the English language, yet tin word covers only the nuaningof anothe word used by our forefathers in times past. So it is used with nervous diseases. as they and 31alaria are intended to cover what our grandfathers called Biliousness, and all are caused by troubles that arise from a diseased condition of the Liver which in performing its functions finding it cannot dispose of the bile through the nrdinarv channel is compelled to pass it off through the system causing nervou troubles. 5Ialaria.

MORAL NATURES BEST REACHED ON THE PHYSICAL SIDE. reople Who Dljr Their Own Graves Erll That Follow In the Train of Living In Cities Ozone of the Country Air The Ilequlretnent of Children. The city is, as every one knows, a poor place to brinjr up children in. Men and wom en, with bodies matured and properly hard ened, can endure its bad air, the confinement ithin doors and the constant excitement and drive though even they require occa sionally to be transplanted to . more whole some conditions for recuperation. In the case of young and growing frames, the san itary drawbacks, of course, tell more disas trously. For the sake of their physical health, city children can hardly see too much of country life. The minds of city children are undoubtedly more stimulated than are thoso of children dwelling In the country. City children are much more precocious. But this is by no means an advantage; oiien it constitutes the cravest Injury. City life does not sufficiently allow the energy to be employed in building up, first, a thoroughly developed and vigorous body, which may throughout the remainder or existence sup ply the necessary physical basis for the pos session and exercise or tne Drain ponem, ready to be most used when the exigencies of life demand them most It, on the other band, by too early exciting the intellectual faculties to activity, often interferes with the moral growth of the organism, leaving it, at the time when it 6hould boat the height of its complex force, fully developed neither in body nor mind, aud already unciermmeu by premature decay. Any advantage, due to precocity, the city child may possess at 15, will be apt to have wholly disappeared, and to be in process or being atoned for, at 40. But the moral in fluences to which the city child is subjected are the worst He sees too much of the feverish, shrewd and unprincipled life that is going on about him, even in the very sreets and public places. With the utmost care, it is Impossible to keep this wholly out of knowledge. We can merely refer here to the sights and soumls that are rife in a city street; but every parent, who is striving to properly bring up a boy or girl even in a large town, will have felt the difficulty. The country is, undoubtedly, the best place for children to be raised in. When, with bodies matured, reason developed and principles fixed. If they require a larger field for their energy and powers, then is time enough for them to seek the city. Brick walls, like bon nets and high hats, go best with mature heads. EXROUS SLICES OT SPACE. Life in the country, where the population is sparse, and individual is separated from individual by generous slices of space, is longer, more secure, and, therefore, of course, more healthful, than life in the city, where the opposito condition of affairs exists. More extended observation would, no doubt, simply show the law to bo universal. Induc tion, then, may bo said to reveal these facts. There must, of course, be some reason or cause behind it What is that? Why is it that country life is more salubrious than city life! A number of causes conspire to make it so; but, were it asked to point out the main and leading causes, we should at once say air, and that is the only one we shall con sider here. Air in the country is pure and conducive to health and longevity; that in cities and towns is more or less impure and productive of ailment and fewness of years. Professor Tyndall, in his studies with the microscope, laid bare the fact that the air cf cities is loaded with fine organic and mineral particles exhalations from living beings, human and animal, dust, 6moke, and inlln itessimal bits of every conceivable material. The larger and more crowded the city the more is this the case. The horse cars, omni buses and heavy teams grind the street dust so small it easily floats in the atmosphere, where it mingles with dust and gases from every industry, fine fragments of food, atom3 of refuse, manure, germs contributed by de composing animal and vegetable matter, etc. The very clothing of the people gives off into the air microscopic bits of cotton, linen, fur, wool, velvet, etc. Smoky air, and air thus charged with extraneous substances, is not only, in every sense, unhealthy, but it me chanically irritates the sensitive mucous membrane of the mouth and lungs, causing iryness, tickling, hoarseness and congestion, from which arise thirst and fcyerishnes?, and to banish these improper diet and stronj beverages are resorted to. Drunkenness U more prevalent with the poor of cities than among the corresponding class in the country. A LACK OB" OZONB. From these inductive facts it is evident that the atmosphere of cities is, hi the first place, too highly charged with foreign mate rial to be in the highest degree conducive to health. Ia the second place, ozone, which is oxygen gas in a peculiar state of concentra-. tion, and the most vitalizing element next to food (or, rather, equally vitalizing with food) which nature egenjs to have provided (more stimulating even than oxygon itself), whi0 ifc abounds in country air, exists by comparison but rarely in the air of cities and towns. This latter, instead, contains an excess of carbonic acid gas, which, as all know, when pure is a deadly poison. From living in such an atmosphere come lassitude, nervous irri tability, craving for stimulants, such as alco hol, tobacco or hot drinks, sleeplessness, pal lor, poverty of the blood, and a long train of ills. If it be true, as has been said, that cities are "the graves of the human race," it is also true that the race largely digs its own grave. We sco, thdi, that tho main cause of the greater healthfulness of country over city life is the superior food the former furnishes to the lungs. In the country the pure at mosphere supply is, if anything, in excess of the demand; in the city the contrary is the case. In the one place each individual is sur rounded by ample and exbaustless reservoirs of pure air, in the other he has at bis com mand merely, as it were, a burnt up atmos phere, emptied of many of its invigorating qualities and freighted with the poison of lungs and an Infinitude of deleterious par ticles. The undoubted fact of the greater salubrity of life in the country above that of the city, together with its chief cause, here pointed out, suggests some practical deductions. Doubt less a large proportion of those now resident in cities and towns could quite as well reside in the country, or, at least, in the suburbs. They would certainly consider their physical, and, by consequence, their entire well being in so doing. For those who have in their families growing children, to do so is an im perative duty. It is possible to rear children in the city to a full and unblemished ma turity, but it is difficult Unless they are literally "raised in the streets" they will scarcely escape physical taint from the per nicious influences which environ them. City life, while it is disadvantageous to the health of persons of all ages, is especially so to that of the growing, susceptible young. Boston Herald.
