How to Escape Fever POisOns,

BY ROBERT PAIRMRN, N. D.
In a properly chosen, wel-lighted, we'll

oughly washed inmates, there is compare.
lively little fear of infectious poisons. But
it 1t is well for every one to be acquainted
with some of the easiest means of resist
ance and of escape, when that gigantic
evil approaches. or when duty compels us
to 90 within its range. knowledge Of the
reality will prevent foolish exaggerations
and diminish useless fear. All infectious
fevers (typhus, scarlatina. smallpox, etc. J
arise from the reception of a subtle poison
into the blood, which, spreading through
the system, is exhaled from it principally
by the skin and lungs. This poison has
been actually condensed out Of impure air
poisoned by filth and decay, and appears
in the form cf dirty-lookipg half solid
half fluid, gelatious stuff, a few drops OF
which inserted into the veins of dog will
inoculate that dog with typhus fever.
Mercifully there are two safeguards
against the infection of this posion.
l. 1t is lighter than air, and ascends.
If we allow it to escape at the top of the
room the air below is safe. This is the
reason Why in fever wards few cases of in,
fection; without the ventilators in the
ceiling they would be dens of death. IL

Mr.. CilmOre's great International

Mr.. P. S. Gilmore's great project for
an International Musical Festival, to be
held in Boston in the months Of j une and
July, 1872, is rapidly assuming definite
shape. In the course Of few months
his main plans will be fully organized,
and Mr.. G.. will 60 abroad to enlist the
corporation of the prominent European
governments and eminent musicians. The
gentlemen who composed the Executive
Committee of the National Peace Jubilee
in 1869, have held several meetings and

been engaged upon the plans Of another
monster building, which is to be much
hands0mer than the other as well as twice
as large, for il is to contain one hundred

consist of twenty thousand, and the in-
strumental force will be more than doubl-

many other felturos designed to be intro

the international character of the demon

numbers of the chorus, &C., may sound
large, but 40 one who had anything to dc
with the musical department Of the Peace
Jubilee of 1869, can doubt the possibility
of raising choral force ofeven twice thai

"HE FEIT HER PULL"-They had =
SaBday-schOOl celebration in one of our
churches, week or two ago, aud the
minister made a speech to the children,
in which he endeavored to teach them the
nature Of Faith. So he told them the fol-
lowing story, by way Of illustration
"ln the deepening twilight of a sum
mer's evening. pastor called at the resi-:
dence of Oae of his parishohe.s, ahd found
seated IN the doorway little boy, with
hands extended upward, holding a line.
What are you doing here my little
friend ? inquired the minister.
Flying my kite sir, was the prompt
reply.
"Flviug yOat kite? exclaimed the
pastor. i c.h see no kite-you can see
none
"I cannot see it, but know it is there
for ! feel IL pull"
The children we're all deeply interested,
and the clersyttan continued;
"NOw, in few days after this, the
mother of the little boy was about to die,
and she said to him:
my son, when l am angel will come,
, it can, and be with you, and shield ycu
from harm, and watch 10 see that you
grow up to a good man, will you try tC
, think, sometimesi that ! am by ybai
side q
"And the little boy said he would.
"Now, dear children" said the minis
ter, ''when that blessed angel came bacl
from heaven, and hovefed over her child
c and placed her hands upon his head
among his fair and golden hair, how di,
he know she was there 4? He could no
see her."
"Why. he felt her pull, Of course !!
roared the class in unison, and with tn
= promptness Of absolute certainty.
The speaker sat down all of sudden
and the exercises concluded with the sing
ing Of d hymn.
