past rev years, IN securing to married women alb
solute right over their own property, aud a voice

IN which the wife brings suit for furniture dsposed
OF by drunken husband The law of 1887 nro.
Woes that mo married man shall sell, dispose OF.
or IN any way part with any personal property
which isnow, or may hereafter be exempt from eS-
empt from execution Without first hauing obtain

or other cause, becomes iuca pacited, or neplects
to provide for his family. the wife may make
contracts and do business in her own name
The 0dsette says :--Cleue Herald
ihe principal object OF the law was to pro-
ect married woman against being made en-.
tirely destitute by adrunken husband but there
are very few who are aware that such law is
In our statute books and a far less number who
ever resort to its provisions for their own pro.
lection. The general impression is that the
husband has perfect legal right to do as he
wills with personal property, without regard to
the wishes Of the wife--a very erroneous under.

GERMAN THEoRy RESPECTING TuE CHOLERA.
Dir Pettenkober, of Germany, is the author of
work possessing considerable ability aud bear
ing the title investigations and Observations in
regard TO the Propagation Of Cholera, with Retiec-
tions on the proper means of arrestng its Pro-
grcss The facts which DR.. Pettenkober claims
10 nave iuliy established are-that the disease is
not contagious, i'll the usual sense of the word
but that il can, nevertheless, be carried from
one place to another; that it always follows the
usual routes OF commerce; tina no elevation above
the ocean Is guaranty against the disease nor
Is any depth necessarily exposed TO its rsvages;
that no contagious cholera matter is floating in
the atmospere, and that consequently the diseuse
is no! propOgated by currents of air; that II is
not propagated through the water that it is pro.
pngaed through the earth; that the earth receives
and develoresFthc cholera contagion from the
Iexcrements of diseased persons; that excremen,s
from diseased person thrown into q sink or
pivry are capable of transforming he whole mass
into hearth of cholera contagious; that gases
disengaged by the decomposition of orpa mic sub
stances, especially ofexcrements, penetrate the
earth. rise TO the surface, and become then the
cause OF ievers and of cholera.
DAnRuoEA AS this is the season when The
diarrhGa prevails 10 the greatest extent we pub.
lsh the following from the Home Journal Of
Health, which we believe. is considered good
authority among medical men: f- h.
Diarrhna is very common disease in sum-
mer time Cholera is nothing more than ex
aggeratcd darrhGa in reality. Ii NAV be we'll
tor travellers to know that the first, the mos,
important, and the most indispensable item in
the arrest and cure of ooseness of the boxeis 10
absolute quietude on bed Nature herself al
ways prompts this by indisciplinng us TO 10.
comoton The next thing is TO eat nothing but
common rice parched like coffee, and Then
boiled, and then taken with a little salt and
butter. Drink little or no liquid of any kind.
Di's OF Ice may be eaten aud swallowed
at will. Every sep in diarrhea, eyery spoon.
full of alquid, only sggravates the disease -

OF necessity NAV be lessened by having stout
piece OF woolen bound tightly around the ab-
domcn, so as TO be doubled in front and kent in
It's place. In the practice of many wears we
have never failed to notice gratifying resui, To-
