Yiddish Is an archaic and corrupt form of German extensively spoken by Jews In many countries besides Germany Itself. A startling Instance of its popularity Is given by a writer, In Jerusalem he met "a worthy man who denounced me for being unable to converse with him In Yiddish. You are no Jew, he protested, for you do not know the Jewish language. I an swered that Hebrew was the Jewish language and that I was quite willing to try to speak to him in It.

PRACTICAL HYGIENE The Proper Care of the Body Region in the United States. In looking about for a site for the projected Michigan state sanitarium for consumptives, the discovery has been made that the northern part of the lower peninsula of Michigan Is the healthiest part of the United States. This Is not guess work by Interested parties, but the verdict of the United States census. It will astonish many who have heard the claims made for the Maine woods, the Adirondacks, the mountain regions of North Carolina and Georgia, for Colorado, California, Arizona, New Mexico, to hear that the tables of the census bureau demonstrate that the palm belongs to Michigan. Freedom from consumption the being the first consideration, board having the Inquiry In charge found that of the nine registration states (where registration of deaths with the cause Is obligatory), Michigan stands lowest on the list, with a death rate for consumption of 107.; New Hampshire, the next lowest on tbe list, stands 152.3; Massachusetts, 186.2, and New York, 194.1. Rural Michigan stands 94.1. An examination of the chart for Michigan shows no less than thirty-nincounties with a lower rate than 95 (which are shown In white). There are only five such counties In New York state. Compared with other parts of the country the low rate for northern Michigan is most remarkable. The consumption death rate for cities In the New England states Is 244; for cities in the middle states 259, lake states 156, southern states 277, San Francisco 304. Thus it Is seen that even the cities of the lake region compare most favorably with cities of the rest of the country In the matter of exemption from pulmonary tuberculosis. Having found that the lake region appears to be most favorable, the board stuck a pin In the center of this region on the map, In the upper part of the lower peninsula of Michigan. Here aro the great lakes to the north, the east and the west. Here are pine and hemlock forests, filling the air with balsam. Here Is a porous soil of gravel and glacial drift, with good water uncontaminated by cities. And here Is abundance of sunshine, with absence of fog. So the board reasoned. Examining the vital statistics of the state, It was found that the four counties of Otsego, Crawford, Roscommon and Gladwin show an average death rate for all forms of tuberculosis for the past five years of only 58.6. Hamilton county, New York, the Adirondack county making the best showing, has a consumption death rate, according to the census, twice as large as the first three Michigan counties named: above, while the cancer, pneumonia and diphtheria charts left comparison entirely out of the question and show a clear white record for northern Michigan. It will be little wonder, therefore, Ir the state sanitarium Is located In one of tike counties above named, distant from any large city, and where the pine scented air will continually blow through the open cottages of the consumptives camp, for the sanitarium will be of the camp character, rather than a large building, and will be as open to the sun and air as possible. Here the campers will be encouraged to take moderate exercise, to eat nourishing food, rich In vegetable fats, and to get tanned and toughened In the is hoped open air. By this means that the consumption death list of Michigan, 2,500 per year, will be materially reduced, and that a large proportion of the calipers will be returned to their homes strengthened and cured. Healthiest e 1 Breeding Ground for Tuberculosis. A New York physician has given a forcible description of the three great enemies of the woman "of the tenement, naming them as Ignorance, alcohol and tuberculoses. If I should be asked, he says, what conditions are most conducive to the propagation of tuberculosis, and especially pulmonary consumption, I would have to reply: Tbe conditions that prevail In the tenement houses as they still exist by the thousand in this and other large cities. In these tenements there are not only a far greater number of consumptives than in the same area elsewhere, but the proportion Is actually greater per number of Inhabitants. Thus they not only contain countless centers of Infection for old and young, but these dwellings, with their bad air, darkness and filth, make a cure of the disease impossible and a lingering death for all those Infected by the germ of tuberculosis a certainty. If any one thinks me an alarmist, let him glance at the charts prepared by the tenement house commlslon. There he will see that there are houses In which can be counted as many as twenty consecutive cases of tuberculosis during four years. This number represents, however, only the cases reported to the board of health. But how many of the moderately advanced cases are made known to either physician or board of health? I venture to say those not reported are more numerous than the reported ones. Darkness, filth and dampness are favorable to the growth of the bacilli of tuberculosis, and these conditions ' prevail In the tenements. The crowded quarters in which our tenement population lives facilitates the propagation of tuberculous diseases to a truly alarming extent. To have six and sometimes ten people living In three rooms, of which only one receives direct light and air, Is nothing unusual. Should one of the members be tuberculous and careless In the disposal of hls sputum, It Is evident that the majority of the members of such a family are in the greatest danger of contracting the disease. Disease Is not to be successfully combated by fighting symptoms, but by the removal of causes. "And still we love the evil cause, And of the just effect complain: We tread upon life's broken laws, And murmur at our pain. Whittier. The Outdoor Gymnasium. The nucleus of the out door gymnasium Is the swimming pool. Swimming was meant to be not merely an occasional and precarious pleasure, but an inseparable accompaniment of buthlng, cleanliness being achieved Incidentally. A swimming pool, therefore, Is a fundamental need for those who have not access to a convenient stream or body of wrater suitable for this purpose. Those accustomed tc the delightfully Invigorating effects of the morning swim consider It as much of a necessity as their breakfast, or even more. Most artificial swimming pools are built indoors. An inunfortunately door pool not only lacks the fascination of the outdoor adaptation of the old swimin hole, but it also robs one of the natural accompaniments of outdoor bathing fresh air and sunshine. Bathers often spend considerable time lying about on the banks of the stream or on the sandy beach, alternately basking in the rays of the sun aud dipping beneath the cooling waves. Powerful impressions are made upon the body by the contact of the skin with the cool outdoor air and sunshine. The outdoor gymnasium provides a combination of the healing agencies of nature, abundance of pure air for breathing, facilities for exercise, sun baths, air bath, earth baths, and water baths. Here one can enjoy all the pleasure and obtain all the benefits and at the same time escape the pub lielty of sea or river bathing. Public outdoor gymnasiums are provided in some of the large cities, and are built by sanitariums, hotels, t s, e!e. They should be intro riuced into all hospitals and childrens homes, and no public institution should be considered complete with out one. In the heart of our larg6 cities, conducted in connection with the parks, they would be a powerful means of antagonising the deteriorating influences of city life. Out of Door Nurseries.

A very little girl was taken by her parents to a prayer meeting at Plymouth church presided over by Mr. Beecher. In giving out a hymn Mr. Beecher requested every person present who could sing to do so. The response not having been hearty during the first verse, Mr. Beecher before the second again exhorted all to sing. Come, brethren. If you have the trace of God in your hearts, let it Dome out In your voices. Sing! All together now! Sing! The little girl took this as personal appeal and hastily bethought herself f the song dearest to the heart; the sry of a fruit vender who often brought fruit to her home. Accordingly, when the verse began she let forth her voice in a shrill cry of Straw-ber-ries- ! Straw-ber-rie- Straw-Jer-ries- !
