It haleeH aliowu that all that E-U- sk aidand lionesty and assiduity could accomplishtor the Kw ealanders only accfJcrated theirfate. Apart from any specifically merldd

These can enly be indicated iu tbe moM gen-or- al

If improvement in any directieu is to beItormaneut and progressive it must liegia below,not above. Ka teacbor can create fueulty. nolaws or iootltittioos altor Lbc relations whichhave gradually grown up between human be-ing, their country, and ibetr foHow-croaturc- s.

EPiunmcs.Tlie history of epidemic disorders bus ofton
illustrated tho truth that the beat lessens ofwisdom arc learned In tlie school of calamity.The dark midnight, of tho Middlo Ages wasfirst broken by gletimsof light reflected fromthe civilization of the Spanish Jloriscoes aboutUtu middle of tho 12th century, but it mightbo doubted if the sanitary abuser of that agoof iguorauco would not have outlived its po-
litical nnd religious insanities, if it had notbeen for the memorable lesion taught by thogreat plague of 1311). Up to that time diseaseswere considered a direct consequence of sin,especially the sin of unbelief, mid were sup-posed to Iks cu ruble only by prayer, aided in lossserious cases by druzs nnd bluediug. lint tho' Black Death" defied prayer-cure- s as it had
defied pills and lancet, ami in their disperatosearch for an explanation of tho horrible ailltc-tio- u,
even bigots could ut lat not help noticingthe fact that the contagion spread most rapidlyin tho dirtiest districts of every town, audspared castles aud highland cabins. J n temper-ate perous, drunkards and gluttons furnishedtho largest quota of victims, whilo even inunclean and overcrowded localities abstiuontiudividuiils of personally clean habits had afair chance ofescape. That latter circumstanceat fit st gave rise to a horrid mistake. Noticingtho remarkable immunity of their Hebrewfellow-citizen- s, the plaguo-stricko- n Christiansarrived at tho conclusion that tho Jews musthavociused tho trouble in some way or other,probably by poisoning the public wells. Hun-dreds of thousands of innocent persons inl"rauco, Italy, aud Germauy woro slaiu with-out remorse; iu the city of Mayence alotto12,000 Jews were butefiered in one week. Hutthe plague did not akite, and experience beforelong proved that the mortality had been dread-ful in towns where there weio no Hebrews atall, whilo, on tho other Imud, in the cleanlytowns of the Moors, in Sicily and southernbpaiu, Mahometans and Jews alike had escapedcontusion.
Intelligent observers then first recognizedthe fact that dieae5can be prevented by tem-perance aud cleanliness, as inundations areprevented by dikes, aud conflagrations by well-coiibtrtict- ed
fireplaces. A similar lesson w3about the same time tnught by the ravages ofswamp-feve- r iu tho lowland districts of .south-ern aud western Europe. Malaria had almostdepopulated the marshes of Italy, but thogrowing scarcity of cheap land at last temptedenterprising far.-nor-s to reclaim tho pestiferousfeus by means of drainage, and wherever thatcxjieriment was tried on a largo scale it wasfound that tnusketoos and fevers decreased ascrop improved; in other word, that the soilcould be fitted fer human habitation as easilyas it couldabe adapted to the growth of wheataud fruit-tree- s. Thousands of acres were thusdisinfected iu the Tuscan Mareiuma, in Kentaud Kcx, aud in the valleys of the ScotchI.othiaus, till thuapade took tho place of thelancet as a specific for the cure of climatic dis-cuses.
Tho former pro valence of such disease would,nowadays, appear almost incredible, if it werenot attcstod by one of it practical oilocts, viz:tlie remarkable frequency of hill-to- p villagesiu southern Italy. Finding it imposfiblo topray or purge away their fevers m tho low-lands, the survivors settled on airy mountainridges, often in localities whoro food and mer-chandise can be transported only on donkey-bac- k
horses not beiug fnre-foott- d onough forthe steep, narrow bridle-path- s which put the U3eof wheeled conveyances entirely out of thequestion.
The improvement of drainage was followedby tho introduction of ventilatory coutrivauccsand by the more careful inspection of tho pro-vision markets. Tlie condition of those mar-kets iuan age of general inditTerence to sanitaryiclorm may bo interred from tho fact that thovigilance of our modern health police has onlyresulted in limiting but by no means in whollypreventing tho sale of meat from discaicd cat-tle aud the adulteration of almost every iinl-tab- le
article of food and driuk.Systematic food inapaction and systematic
street cleaning have not yet made the sproadof contagious diseases impossible, but theyhave enormously diminished tho proportion offatal cases. Smallpox jwtients nowadays havoa three to ono chance of escaping with a fewdozen unsightly pit marks, and au even chancoof getting otT without such memoutoea of theiralllictiou, while a physician of tho fifteenthcentury thought himnjlf lucky if ho could savotwo out of ton adults and oue'out of ten chil-dren. In 1707 one-fourt- h of the entire popula-tion of Iceland fell victims to a smallpox epi-demic which was con hide roil a wilder type ofthe Mine disorder which had ravaged centralKuropu during the preceding century, andwhich in 1521 had caused tho (loath of 3.100,-00- 0
persons in Mexico alone. In that countryand in the Spanish West Indies, where hun-dreds of slaves were often kept jieniieil up likopigs iu overcrowded stockyards, ninety out of ahundred stnekon persons generally died withinhalf a week after the first appearaucc of thofatal eruption.
Cowpox ii uot mora clearly related to truetwrtefVi than scarlet aud typhoid fever are tothe "IUack Death" of the Middle Ages, aneruptive disease which once was deemed eohopelessly fatal that recovery was consideredlittlo ehort of impossible, or at all events, ofmiraculous. It refused to attack about threoout of ton persons. Those who felt tho first ap-proach of tho woll-kuow- n symptoms could oc-casionally tave themselves by timely flight tothe seashore or to airy iuoutttaiu-tojHrbu- t afterthe black spot3 had once made- - their appear-ance tho patient was generally advised to makohis iwaco with Owl without a moment's loss oftime, since diliriutn would .supervene within21 hours and death beforo tho end of the thirdday. Stupor, excruciating headaches, acutoIMijus in the hhouldera aud luugs, burningthirst (ull equally characteristic of typhoidfever) woro followed by :i groat acceleration ofthe pulse and final collapse, which iu somecases was preceded by vomiting fits and palsyof the tongue. In 1319 21,000,000 persons suc-cumbed to that disease iu China aud Hindoos-tan- ;
iu its westward progrew it ravaged Syriaaud k'gypt, aud entered Kuropu by way ofConstantinople Italy lost half its population ;France four out of ton inhabitants; the city ofLondon ulotiu STi.OOO of iu citizens.
All in all the population of Kurnpo was ro-duc- td
from 110.000.000 to 82.000,000 withinthree years; i. c, a total mortality of 23.000,000human beings, while the hundred battles oftitu Napoleonic wais destroyed lues than 2,000,-00- 0
lives it 22 years, and massacres of theThirty Yours War lens than 1.000,000.
That mortality can bo partly explained bytravelers who have visited the uuciuut cities ofKurote and measured the width of the si tun --
alleys which represent n fair sample of thebelter kind of street composing tho cities oftho Middle Agee, while tho Ghctlon, the Pariah-quarte- rs
of that time, would now bu consideredunfit for the stabling of domestic cuttle hogsnot excepted. ,
Hut while cloanliness aud the supply ofwholesome food hnvo been greatly improved,the very improvements of architecture havotended to aggravate i the evil of tin ventilatedtenements. Ojien fireplace have been super-seded by closu stoves, windows and doors havebecome, airtight to a degreuof which the build-ei- s
of lucdm-vu- l dwelling-house- s had no con-ception. Hcure, perhaps, tho fnct that respira-tory diseases, almost alone, have become morefatal than formerly. "Colds" aud catarrhsweio known iu all tho cities of meduevalHu rope, but did not prevent a stout burgherfrom going as usual to his woikshop, nor ncavuliurfiom keeping hU appointment to attenda stag hunt, lite drafts of fresh air enteringa hundred crevices of the smithy, tho breezessweeping the shady nrcadus of tho hunting-groun- d,
luudu other remedies superfluous, whiletho grippe putieut, iu his study, overheatedboil room, cannot always bo saved by a confer-ence of the bent modern physicians.
Yet oven the grippe epidemic will have ltduses if it cnubod our countrymen to abandontho dolusiou which ascribes respiratory dis-order's to the influence of cold uir. In Chicagoaud Pituhtirg tho first casos of uudotibtodliUSftiau grippo wore recorded during the firstweek of 3Iarch,but the clear cold weather pre-vented tho spread of the disorder. Two weekslater tho weather turned warm and mois,t, andthe grippo suddenly becamo epidemic to ado-grc- o
which in four days increased tho numberof patients iu tho two cities uaiued from 2,000to 31,000.

Office, amUthe renter the delay in filing a ekim the lew the amount ef penstoit, ai fteeacvioit is improbable that sny law will eTer be suns ted that will allow aay arieass ef psaeiiiii laclaims filed under this aet.
Iocs .your financial condition in aaiy decree a Meet touik fflimto pension under Shis net?It does net; the man &C wealth ami the pas per are equally entlsledt If the servieavaiWvo
stated was reudered and the disability desezibod exiete. Yeur luaiieee ate aet pros en nibiusHjfor luquiry.
IVsII jour acceptance of a pension under this act aiftftotaiijjinonsly any title 3011 amy have noiv or hereafter Haider, tihej;eiiera3 law?It will not. Sttch acceptance win net preclude you from Sling a elaim umler vhe stieml'law or frem corttinuinp: to preaecate any elaim that may now be pending, aer will in affibefe
any title te any arrears due by any past er future law.Why is it to your advantage to file a claim wader thiH att?,L'ccatra the disnbilities for which you elaim pension need not lmve erigfeetedi Iho
service, uor have existed at a date prior to Ding your application.
To those honorably-discharge- d officers, soldiersand sailors who, having performed the requisiteservice of ninety days or more, are pensionedat a rate less than $32, and have not filed aclaim under the Act of June 27, .890.
Why should yon apply under this at?Because if you draw $G or more, and Ie than $12, your chances fer an laeneaso Mfen tfco
disabilities named in yenr pension certificate are, ap to tho $12 rale, the mh as getter, thogeneral law, as ap to $12 both claims are rated alike ; beeause your chances lor an iaesettsooCpension are better than ander the general law, for the reason that in fixing wme rating andidetermining your title to an increane all the disabilities with wbieh yon suffer (3ve ary, Ifany, those due to vicious habits), whether originating prior to your eultstaient, during yurservice or since year dischnrKe, can bo considered, and because pension allowed under fehkaotdates from JiUng of the upfhtnttm, and not as it dew under the general law from date oC amedical examination made month afltr filing the applieatiou for increase.
n yon receive a pension in excess of $12 a month UMtl-u- r
this act?You cannot.
Ioes the filing of a claim nnder this act interfere wit3i dinarinj; your current pension ?It doos not, as your general law corttficato (the ono you now hold) noed nob be sur-
rendered till one shall bave beeu issued uader tho Aet of Juno 27, 1680, providing Jb a rototgreater than you new receive.
"eVill the acceptance of a pension under this act preventyour claiming an increase of pension above the $12 rate?It will not in any degree interfere wish your olniming and receiving a higher, penefen
for disabilities of service origin whenever such disabilities shall have so inoreesed as tetttfoyou to a rftting in excess ef $15.
Do you loc anj' rights hy accepting a pension undor tlju Actof June 27, 3Ji0?You do not. Yon mty ha,vo much to gain. Yoa twfl have nothing to lose.
Must your disability, to entitle 3'ou to a pension under thisact, render 3'ou unable to perform any labor?Not necessarily. The less of a thumb would entitle you to $S per month under the now
law; or tho Ic of sight of an eye to $3; a single herntn, $8; a double hernia, $82; totaldeafness of one ear, $10, etc., tho snroo aa under the general law; understanding alwnya shutthese diA'tbtlittea arc not the results of vicious habits. In 3hort, a degree of dwabiliay thatwould entitle yon to $3. $10 or $12 under the general law would likswieo entitle you nnder Kfeta
act to the same penaiott.
Can you draw a pension under this act in addition to theone j'ou now receive?You cannot, because tba law forbids a person from receiving two ponsions forfchosamo
period ; but you can accept pension under this act in plneo of the one yoa now draw.Why i there a prejudice against this act on the part f itsproposed beneliciaries?Largely because its provisions and operations aro not thoroughly understood.
To those widovs of officers, soldiers and sailorswho served ninety days or more during the war ofthe rebellion, and who vere honorably dis-charged.
Does the Act of June 27, 1S90, benefit yon in anyway?Yes, providing tbe oulcer, soldier er sailor died since his discharge.
