sun was far down the western hills, and
the fair moon, just emerging above the

way home, musing upon the estrange fancy

dream was plainly visible. The stream
was the path of life-the barque tray

youth, nothing striking, or of thrilling i'm.
port in it. AS youth bursts into early
manhood, the pleasures of the world pre-
sent themselves. The fruits and delicious

causes foul air ranks as chief. The con.
densed air OF crowded room gives de.
posit which, if allowed to remain for afew
days, forms a solid, thick, glutinous mass
having a strong odor of animal matter.
If examined by the microscope it seems
to undergo a remarkable change. First
of all, it is converted inioa vegetable
growth, and this is followed by the pro-
duction of multitudes of animalcules-a
decisive proof that it must contain organ
ic matter, otherwise it could not nourish
organic beings. This was the result ar
rived at by DIR. Angus Smith, in his beau
tiful experiments on the air and water Of
towns, wherein he showed how the lungs
and skin gave out organic matter, which
is in itself a deadly poison, producing
headache, sickness, disease, or epidemic,
according to its strength, Why, If few
drops of the liquid matter, obtained by a
condensation of the air of foul locality

EPIDEMICS.

LA AOA1Af44O0s
One unvarying character of epidemics
is, that they are all fevers. The Black
Death of the fourteenth century, an ag-
gravated form of the Oriental or Bubo
plague, was fever, deriving its name
from effusions of black blood forming
spots on the arms, face and neck. The
Oriental plague, still in existence in Egypt
and eastern Europe, and the sweating
sickness of the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries, were both fevers aud even the
cholera of the present day, in the last or
perfect stages of its development, is a
fever. All the ordinary epidemics, such
astyphus, scarlet-fever, measles and small
pox are recognized fever.
Epidemics are generally preceded by
two signs. One is the influenza. The
plague, cholera, ETC., have all been her
aided by this disease. The first attack
of cholera in England was preceded by
an outbreak of influenza, which resembled
in the minutest particular that which ush-
cred in the mortal sweating sickness OF
1917; and the cholera of 1848 was pre-
ceded by the influenza of 1847.
Epidemics are periodical. The first
appearance of the sweating sickness was
in 1885. 1t spread over England for a
year, then disappeared. After lapse Of
twenty years it broke out again, went
over all its former haunts, and after six
months died away. In eleven years il
came again, and again died away in six
months. A fourth time it returned after
a sleep Of eleven years, continued six
months, then disappeared. Its fifth and
last visitation was after a period Of TWEEN
ty-three years. II Itraged-as it had ragged
before-in six months, as usual, disap-
peareds and since then-this was in 1851
it has never been known in any coun.
try whatsoever. The Oriental plague
breaks out in the east about every tel
years the fever epidemics Of London oc
cur every ten or twelve years the Irisf
typhus epidemics have been decennia
visitations for the last hundred and fifty
years. Epidemic cholera remained witt
lis fifteen months, ON its first visitation
After sixteen years it broke ont again
for exactly fifteen months, as before
Again-this time after only FIVE year
absence-it came for seventeen months
coming earlier and staying longer than j
had done before. According TO this ruI,
we may expect it again, after even /;
shorter absence.
Epidemics are rapid in their effects
Death generally occurs after few hours
seldom, if the disease can be protracied
J The great object Of all modern treatmen
, for cholera, for instance, is TO gain time
, for, if the disease does not kin at once
the patient viii oftener recover than die
after prolonged attack. Il is the shock
rather than exhau stion, that destroys.
Lastly, epidemics are alike in cause
, Overcrowding, filth, exhalations from fou
/ sewers, rivers, bitches, canals, etc., pu
} trescent or vegetable matter, impur
drinking water, unwholesome meat, de
) cayed vegetables, unsound grain--thes
are some of the predisposing persona
causes of epidemics, which, make ali Ghos

FARMEE's CLUB-The first FAIRNESS Club in
the United States was organized on the 18th of
February, 1855. George Washington and Ben
jamin Franklin were members of It, At one OF
its meetings il was stated that the King of Eng
land had issued proclamation agains the I'M
portations of American wheat, on account of the
Hessian fly Itwas said "he need not be afraid
of grain as the fly never touches the berry-it
only attacks the STEM In 1882 the fly was
not known in this country. 1t was introduced
by the Hessians, it is said, when they landed
upon Long Island. The scaldipg of the roots
of young peach trees before planting out was
recommended at one of the meetings of the club.
The peach worm doubtless existed at that day.
Corn was exhibited in March, 1905, from the
Pac .fic Ocean, which was unusually farlnaceous.
