GERMS OF SCARLET FEvER.-Iu everybody
affected with scarlet fever there is produced poiS.
onous matter, which, passing from the dis eased
body, is capable of generating anew the same
disease as that which affects the body from which
it is derived, The proofs Of this are so album
dant that we cannot for moment admit that
the question is open 10 discussion. The point
OF most importance here is to know how long
the ''poson-germs" of scarlet fever retain their
vitality-the terrible power of starting anew
the changes Of which they are the offspring
With regard to scarlet fever, we have more evi.
dence OF these "poisOn-germs" retaining their
vitality than with any other contagious diseases
Sir Thomas Watson, in his classical lectures on
the Practice of Physic, mentions case in
which piece of flannel worn round the neck of
scarlet-fever patient, being accidentally dis
covered two years after, and applied to the per-
son OF servant in the family, produced an at
tack of scarlet fever. Were it necessary, |
could mention several instances, coming within
my knowledge and reading, of the scarlet fever
poison lying dormant in wooden clothes for
years, and not having lost its vitality or power
Of communicating the disease. Another point
of Importance with regard to the scarlet fever
"poison-SermsY is the length of time which
person once affected with scarlet fever is capable
Of communicating the disease to others. When
person has got well of scarlet fever, as far as
general health goes, it is by no means the case
that he is no longer capable of communicating
the disease, but many days after he is strong
and apparently healthy, he is capable of dissem-
mating "poisOn-gerns" from his body.-Herald

tho part of the almost distracted pa
rent, the snake would entirely change
the tone of his rattle and swell to al
| most twice his natural size. During
all this time the child tightly grasped
the snake with his chubby little hands
and jerked and twisted him about in
very rude and unceremonious man
ner, laughing and talking to her hor,,
rid plaything in perfect ecstacy OF
delight. This state Of things was
finally ended by movement of the
parent, which so enraged the snake
that be drew himself up into tight
coil, lcapcd ont Of bed, and would
have buried his fangs into tho far,
mer's face had he not quickly lodged
to one side. AS it was, the serpent
went over his shoulder and out at
tho door, where he renewed his sig
nal for battle, but was quickly stretch
ed out stiff in death by u shot from
the rifle. The child cried immodcr-
atcly for her pretty playtbing, and it

dead reptile.
A party Of young men in the same
ncighborhood, only q few years ago,
had a very interesting adventure with
rattlesnakcs which may be briefly
stated. Early in the Fall of the J ear,
and before the snakes had housed up
for the Winter, this party went out
one night on raccoon hunt. About
midnight the dogs 'trced' q family of
coons in one Of the largest trees in
the neighborhood. 1t was decided to
wait until daylight to capture them,
with the hope that the cutting down
Of the tree could he dispensed with.
The young men laid down upon the
ground, and were amusing themselves
with telling stories, when one Of the
party, who was thoroughly acquain-
led with the habits and peculiarites
Of the rattlesnakc, suddenly called
out, Lie still, boys; don't move for
anything. There's rattlesnalcs here !;
I heard ones rattles hit a rock He
had scarcely spoken when an enor-
nous rattlesnake came crawling over
his foot, and following his. leg to the
body, crossed over his breast, striking
his next neighbours face, and crawling
over his mouth. The. third party was
not touched by the snake, except
that his rattles tapped lightly against
his cap-brim as he passed. The fourth
buntsman heard the rattle, sprang to
his feet and asccnded u tree with re-
markable agility. This snake was
Immediately followed by another, not
quite so large, and then by four very
small ones, all Of which travelled pre-
c;sely the same path. When day
light came the raccoons were shot,
and then the search for the snakes
commenced. They were found IN
hollow stump, but few steps off, and
