In 1871, just after the war with France, with @ population already exceeding $00,000, the sani: | tary condition of Berlin was, with the exception, | perhaps, of the ei of Koln, the worst of any city in Not only was there no pro- per system of drainage, but the dwellings of the poor were most unkealthy. Until that time, and, indeed, down to recent years, the houses of the poor were either in the basement floors of the tenements, in tho cellars or in the top floors. ‘to which recess was obtained by separate stair cases from those” used by the weil-to-do who oceupied the better floors. Three-story tene- ments were then common, whiie now, even in the wealthy quarters of the town, tenements : here were then as many as 4,569 dwellings in which there was no fireplace, and there were 95,000 which had only ono room with a fireplace. Reckoning four persons to a family, there were thus almost half the inhabitants living under such comfort- Jess and unhealthy conditions. This was the state of matters only twenty-one years ago. ‘The mortality of the city was, in consequence, extremely high. For tho bencficent changes that have been brought about in the ranitation of the city no man is fo much entitled to public gratitude as Prof. Virchow. He is one of the most indua- trions of the world’s workers. He is celebrated ali th gist of i is age, but for five and twenty years of | the busiest portion of his life he has found time to discharge the duties as a member both of | the landtag and reichstag and of the humbler office of town councillor as weil. It is in the latter capacity that he has rendered «uch splendid services to Berlit. In 1872 Virchow presented his report to the town council, in which he showed the urgent need there "was to grapple with the whole question of sanitary improvement. He demonstrated that, divid- ing the preceding fifteen years into three periods of five years each, the mortality of the | city was advancing in the ratio of five, seven and nine, so that in a fourth period it would have been more than doubled on the first. He | showed that over the same periods the mortality | of children under one year was in the io of five, seven and eleven, s0 that itactually doabled within fifteen years. Of the 27, which occurred in 1872 no fewer than 11,136 were of children under one year. Cholera and smallpox always found a happy hunting ground in Berlin until what_may be called this municipal renascence in 1872. The corporation is wisely resolved upon no half measures. The result was that in 1873 vorks were commenced whict’ transformed the city in afew years from one of the most un: healthy to oné of the safest on the continent. was the increaging mortality checked, but it has been reduced from over 30 to about 20 per 1,000 inhabitants, and the tendency is toward iurther diminution. DOMESTIC SANITATION. Concern for the public heajth may now be said to dominate the mind of the corporation, for, though « genuine and exemplary thor- oughness characterizes every part of their work, there is no department in which such cted as in that | charged with the care of the health of the in- habitants, Poverty there is; misery and suffer- ing of the innocent by the ill-doing of others are cothmon enongh, as they are where frail human beings’ are gathered | together; but filth, which ia so usually the concoinitant of poverty and crime, has uo local habitation. For, tho past twenty years the corporution have waged constant and suc- cessful war ugaine: dirt and material pollution among people aud dwellings in any form in which these evils menace the general health of the comny Every house proprietor is bound, when he finds his tenants keep- ing ther dwellings a filthy state, to warn them to cleanse them forthwith. If ‘the do not, they are turned out without further Should the landlord negiect or fail ‘m his duty in this respect a complaint the neighbors—a ha! ¥ post-card proper quarter—will insure a from an officer of the sanitary department, ‘This officer will, if he finds the house filthy, order out the inhabitants and cleanse it at the Inndiord’s expense. If cholera should reach Berlin during the | present epidemic it will be interesting to com- pare the effect with visitations of the scour efore the improvements now described were introduced. (‘This passage was written before the recen¢ outbreak of cholera at Hamburg. The almost complete immunity of Berlin, not- withstanding the close proximity of’ the scourge, is a striking object-lesson on tbe value of a thorough system of sanitation under wise direction. Whut would not Hamburg give now to have sooner pursued the sxme policy as Berlin.) DISINFECTION, In 1896 tho corporation took another step in the interest of public heulth by the erection of the first disinfection establishment in Berlin, In every case where fever or infectious disease of any kind has been in a dwelling the bed oc- cupied by the patient, the clothing, linen, hang- ings,carpets and other paraphernalia inany way harbor germs of disease are placed on ance provided for the purpose, and carrie’ off to this establishment. ‘The wagon, with its load, i wheeled bodily into one of the apartments provided. ‘The apartment is closed in, steam is passed through coil pipes whic encircle the room till a temperature of 100: Jensius, or the boiling point of water, i reached. For a period of thirty-five minute: the load is subjected to this heat, so that every germ is destroyed. MEAT INSPECTION. Under the chief inspector of meat, who is veterinary surgeon of high qualification, there hedge of palms and ferns. The exercises were | are at present no fewer than twenty-two sur- | lected officers for ono year as follows: Rev. J. | geo! nd assistant surgeons, with a of special inspectors, microscopists stampers. Belonging to the staff there are forty-five women trained to the use of the microscope. - Their business is to examine and report upon specimens of tissue or blood brought from the inspection —_ houses, where the surgeons are engaged examin- ing carcasses slaughtered on the premises or brought from a distance. The result is that one may enter any butcher's shop in Berlin ‘and be sure that all the fresh meat there of- fered for sale bas undergone a strict scientific test,and has been officially deciared fit for human food. Carcasses of animals which have suffered from tubercle, trichinosis, an- thrax and other dangerous diseases are, of course, destroyed. But carcasses show- ing only local unsoundness and carcasses known in this country as “‘braxy" are treated by what is known as Rohrbeck process of disinfection, snd are then found perfectly safe for human food and as nourishing as ordinarily healthy meat.

The nurse restored the precions bit of anat- {omy to its proper equilibrium, aud as Baby Rath’s Lf face, framed in its white lace cap, was turned toward the spectators, who quickly crowded to the railing above, they saw that it wus wreathed in smiles. “Little angel!” cvied a matronly looking woman whose appearance indicated familiarity with maternal affairs, “I knew she would not | ery.” A crowd of visitors quickly gathered and | watched little Ruth and her nurse piss. A little girl whovo face had been pressed | | against the iron railing, and who, with eyes as | digas saucers, was watching the little white | figure below, looked up into her mother’s face | j and said: “Baby Ruth can’t play with other little girls, | can she, mamma?” | “No, darling,” answered the mother, ‘“‘she is | too precious.” | ‘The little ‘tot thought for a moment, and | then as she turned away frota the railing cling- [ing to her mother's skirt sho Meped: | “I'm glad I'm not the President's baby.”” |” The cool air made little Ruth's face as red as | a rose, and after she had beén out suficiently | Jong to have a bit of exercise the nurae caught jherup. There was a struggle, a ery of remon- | strance, a kick and a wave of tiny arms, and Baby Ruth's face peering over the nurse's shoulder disappeared in the White House. caenhamiener eat ABOUT OLD OFFICE HOLDERS.

The officials of the State Department have no discretion whatever in the matter and are com- pelled to promulgate the bill in identically the form in which it is received by them. It is copied seriatim et literatim, special attention being paid to the original punctuation, and ifest and important. The apparent errors discovered in the legis- lation enacted at tho clove of the last session are not so numerous nor #0 fimportant ax some made on previous occasions. For instance, at the previous session tho river and harbor bili as recelved at the State Department allotted $2,000,000 for the improvement of a small river in’ Indiana when only $200,000. was actu- ally appropriated by Congress. ‘The enrolling clerk bad accidentally imserted an additional cipher. No advantage was taken of the error, however, and an attempt to do so would undoubtedly have been frustrated by the a counting officers of the treasury. At the same session a provision of a general appropriation bill appropriating €400,000 for the purchase of seeds was stricken out’ in conference, but was inclyded in the bill as enrolled and approved. ‘This mistake occurred carly in the session, however, and was corrected by subsequent legislation. A MISTAKE AS TO THE FAIR. Probably the most serious mistake in the en- rollment of bills at the session just closed oc- curred in the legislative, judicial aud executive appropriation bill, in which, by some misunder- ‘anding, an appropriation of $500,000 for the enefit of the world’s fair was inudvertently placed to the credit of the lady managers of the fair, when it is obvious from a reading of the entire ecction that only €100,000 of that amount was intended to be so disposed, TROUBLE FOR THE BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING, No little excitement was caused at the bureau of engraving and printing when it was found that a certified copy of the deficiency bill fur- nished by the State Department showed that only $37 had been appropriated for the salaries of the clerks and omployes of the bureau other than plate printers and engravers, when it was generally supposed that $37,000 had been pro- vided for that purpose. An examination of the Lill as en showed that it had been copied literally. The amount was written in words and. tho-all im: portant word “thousand” had been omitted by the enrolling clerk in writing “thirty-seven thousund dollars.” The error will make a good deal of trouble for the man who will suc- ceed Capt. Meredith as chief of the bureau and will work a great hardship toa number of de- serving employes. According to the Congressional Record the sum of $305,000 was appropriated in the gen- eral deficiency bill for fees and expenses of ex- amining surgeons in army and navy pension cases, State Department and promulgated as the law on the subject makes the appropriation for this particular object “three hundred and thousand dollars,” the word “five” being omitted, AS TO CLAIMS ALLOWED. Another manifest error in the same bill is contained in the following provision relating to grossed claims allowed by the sixth auditor: “For de- ficiency in the postal revenue} 1890 and prior years, $1,177.66.” “That the clause reading as follow Milligan, administrator of George Wattles, deceased, twenty-one twenty-one thos eight hundred and thirty dollars, in the act making appropriations to supply deticiencies in the appropriations for fiscal year ending June thirticth, eighteen hundred atid ninety-one, aad for prior years, und for other purposes,’ passed March third, eighteen hundred and ninety-one “William | (page nine hundred and four of volume twenty- six, United States Statutes at Large), be, and the same is hereby, amended so as to read a5 follows: .‘ “William Mulligan, administrator of George Wattles, deceased, twenty-one thousand eight hundred und thirty dollars; and the award in this case shall not be paid until the Court of Claims shall certify to the Secretary of the Treasury that the personal representative on whose bebaif the award is made represents the next of kin, or in the event the court chall find there were no next of kin and that there is widow, then that such widow is so represented. lending June thirteenth, eighteen hundred and niuety-one, and for prior vears, and for other purposes,’ to be paid to the person or persons entitled to recover and receive the same, to be ascertained by the Court of Claims upon suf- ficient gyidence and certified to the Secretary of the Treasury. MAY BE MORE, In the above quotation the brackets are used only to indicate a portion of the psovision hav- ing no apparent relation to any other part of it. There are no brackets in the original and they do not sppear in the law. | Tho instance mentioned above are only those that have already been brought to the attention of the department. There may be other similar omis- sions, additions or inconsistencies that will de- velop in time to add to the strength of the argument against tho habitual delay of im- portant legislation till the last hours of a dying Congress. ee Peculiar Nevada Legistation. The Nevada legislature has just adjourned, ‘and it is discovered that a bill was lost in some way. The missing bill provides for the reduc- tion of state officers’ deputies salaries from 2,000 per year to $1,600 per year, the reduc- tion to begin January 1, 1894. It appears the bill was never even enrolled, as the clerks dis- claim any knowledge of it, and the governor states the bill never reached his office. ‘The state treasurer declares be will draw war- rants in accordance with the new law. The logialative journals’ show it passed and he pro- poses that the p of the law shall not thus defeated. He hns the co-operation of the governor.
