Diseases Spread by MIX.

A NEW paper has Just been started in
London entitled the Mlk Journal. The
first number contains lengthy article on
the spread of disease by means of milk,
and presents number of surprising and
startling facts In 1857 fever of typhoid
type broke out in Penrith, England, con-
fined almost entirely to families supplied
by certain milkman. Dr. Nj. Taylor in
vestigated the matter, and found the milk
mans family was the first in which the
fever occurred that the mother, who was
the nurse, MIXED the COWS that the milk
was taken into the room where the sick
children lay to be measured out for dis
tribution among the customers. Fourteen
families were supplied, and of these, seven,
living at a considerable distance from each
other, were taken down with the fever
Other cases are narrated where scarlatina
and smallpox were communicated in a
similar way. In the case of scarlatina
showing itself where the patients were
certain there had been no exposure, the
physician, DR.. Bell, made out list of the
cases, then went to the dairy woman who
supplied them with milk, and asked for a
list of her customers; and the two lists
corresponded exactly, except in one in.
stance. There were twenty six cases of
scarlatina, twenty-five of whom were sup
piled with milk from one dairy, whose
proprietor had had scarlatina in his family.
In July, 1870, Islington was visited by q
strange outbreak of typhoid fever-not
case having occurred in the village before
for fifteen years. Now, In radius of
quarter of mile, two hundred and sixty.
eight cases occurred. On examination il
turned out that two hundred and forty.two
of these were supplied from the same
dairy. The dairy had an underground
tank on the premises, and the supposition
is, that enough of foul water therefrom re.
mained in the utensils in which milk was

A Corpse Driving Itself Home.

THE Nashville Banner tells the follow
ing terrible story concerning the circum-
stances of the death of DIR. William
Burdett, of that city, who, about half an
hour before his death, had driven TO the
residence of patient, prescribed for him.
got into his buggy and started homeward
1t seems that sudden death, like a stroke
of lightning, overlook him probably be.
fore he had driven more than q few hun
dred yards, and the late living, speaking,
human being, who few moments before
had talked calmly and quietly after his
usual manner, to a patient and that pa
tents family, and had even joked with a
little boy whom he met by the street side
as he entered his buggy, still sat stark and
stiff upright upon his seat, the reins
clutched tight in his hands, the staring
eyes looking out upon the street, driving
homeward-a corpse. Father of us all,
what was it that those who met the horse
and vehicle saw in the face of the driver
that made them shudder and hurry on a
little fasterl Death looked out from those
lifeless eyes, and it was he who guided the
unknowing horse plodding on toward his
late masters door, and those looked into
that vehicle saw something awful and
indefinable which made them shudder,
ptInhpSi anu nhsIeH luVOlundIlly IOTWaru.
The horse drew up at the familiar hitch,
ing-post, but no master descended, and he
stood gently paving the ground, anon
jerking the lines, but he got no answer to
these signals; hewever oft repeated. No
familiar voice which had so often chided
or cheered him in long jaunts. Then he
pricked back his ears and jerked the reins
a little harder, and listened, but there was
no response, save the grating of the leather
over the dashboard. What could it all
mean?
And now Mrs. Burdett looks out of the
window, and says, "Well, l declare, the
doctors come, but why don't he get out 2"
She looks a moment, but he doesn't, and
she says, perhaps he wants something, and
then she trips out to the street, looks up
into the buggy says, "Well, William,
what is it," No answer. And then she
bends forward little, and the light shines
fuller on the figure there. 1t is her bus
bands, but the face is liyid, and the eyes
blindly staring. William, oh, William y
and she grasps him by the hands, still
clutching the reins; they are cold and
stiff. He is dead.
Through the assistance of several gen
tlemen, DR.. Burdett's body was taken into
the house, where an inquest was held, and
a verdict of death by heart disease found.

HOw to Make a Brick Oven.

MANY a house-keeper, especially a
farmers wife, longs for a good old
fashioned brick oven, especially when
there are several loaves of bread and a
dozen pumpkin pies to bake at once.
A brick oven built in the old style, out
of doors, entirely separated from the
dwelling house, is more safe, so far as
danger from fire is concerned, than if
built by the side of the fireplace in the
house. A good brick oven for baking
bread, pies and cakes, is worth all the
ranges and cook stoves that one could
store in his kitchen. In such an oven
everything will be baked Just right, above
and below, through and through.
After foundation has been prepared,
let two courses of hard bricks be laid for
the bottom Of the oven. Then build the
mouth and part of the sides, until it is de-
sirable to begin to draw the sides inward,
when sand or mellow earth may be
placed on the foundation and the surface
smoothed off and pressed down to the de.
sired form of the oven. Now let the
brick-wOTk be built over this form of
sand. Let two courses of hard brick be
laid over the form with the best of mortar.
After the last brick is laid, the sand may
be removed.
The bricks should be soaked for several
hours in water previous to being laid, SO
they will not absorb the moisture of the
mortar until IL has set. Such an oven
will cost but a few dollars. Many people
can collect sufficient number of loose
bricks and pieces around their dwellings
to build an oven. Besides this, any intelli-
gent man, though only half a mechanic,
can build such an oven about as we'll as a
mason.-lManufaeturer and Builder.

Burning and Shaking.

BY ridiculous misapplcation Of language, in-
valids are sometimes said to "enjOy very poor
health" but Il ia not on record that any human
being was ever spoken Of as enjoying chils and
fever. And yet there are thousands, at this mo-
ment in one or the other OF the two stages OF the
disorder, who might just we'll have avoided II
as not. If there is anything demonstrable In
therapeutics, it is that Hostetter's Stomach Btters
IL an antidote to intermittent fevers. No instance
can be cited In which 1t has been taken, either as
safeguard against this class Of diseases, or as a
remedy for them, and failed to produce the desired
effect. The season when malarious fevers rife,
has commenced, and no inhabitant of any district
subject to their vistations should be without this
great preventive and remedy. Indeed, It is most
potent protection against all the ailments which
prevail in the spring months. From marsh and
pool, and from all moist soils, now rising the
mephitic elements which give birth to fever, indi
gestion, biliousness, colics, and whole host OF
epidemic and other malades. Aid the system to
resist them. Energize and regulate all the animal
functions, with this reinforcing agent This pre-
caution is necessary in cities as in new settle
ments, for malariOus fevers are now almost as
common in the great centers OF population as on
the borders of the Southern bayous and marshes
and the rich agricultural regions Of the West
The preventive and remedy is accessible to all.
Who will be unwisc enough to brave, recklessly
the danger il would avert?

A Lump OF Brown Sugar.

Do you ever eat brown sugar because it
is cheaper?" If you do, buy a microscope
and examine lump of the next you take
home. "Astonishment" will be hardly
the word to express the feelings you will
have ut then result. Lest you may not get
the microscope, allow us to describe what
you will see. Under a.powerful glass there
will be seen myriads Of horrible monsters
as large as beetles, and having the appear
ance of crabs. Four dreadful legs, with
claw -pincers at the ends of them, jointed
in four parts as with armor and bristling
with sharp-pointed spears, are in front of
the monster, and his head has long pyr
amidal form in two joints, with five finger
tips at the terminus where the mouth
should be. The body is oval shaped, and
marked almost exactly like that of crab,
only upon the rims of an inner circle upon
the back there are twelve more of those
long, sharp spears, with two at the tail,
and four snake-like tenacula, exceedingly
fine in the articulation, and no doupt intend
ed, like puss's whiskers, to be feelers, to
warn it of danger. The reverse side shows
the ugliness of the beast even more than
the diverse, but it also shows the wonder
ful mechanical genius of the maker of it
Each limb is padded with mass of mus
cles at the base Oft, which gives the i'm
preston of immense power, and over the
muscle there is case of armor through
which it shows. These creatures are eager
restive, and ravenous; always falling foul
of each other, or attacking great clumps of
sugar, as large in reality as mathematical
point. With the pincers attached to the
end of each proboscis they take hold of and
tear each other, repeating in there small
way the enormous tragedies of Tennyson's
primal monsters. A spoonful of this raw,
coarse sugar was dissolved in about three
times its quantity of water, when, as with
conjuror's rod, animalcules sprang to the
surface and foated there, swimming about
and up and down, like the beasts that wrig-
gle in soft water tubs, and finally turn into
mosquitoes. They can be seen with the
naked eye, but not in their entire hideous-
ness. 1t has been proved that in every
pound of unretined raw sugar there are a
hundred thousand of these acari.-Bee
