The New YEAR.-We have en-
tered upon another new year. In
l1plosing the old accounts ,wnnld it
not be good time to abandon old
and vicious habits, to forget old
hatreds and strifes, and with the
new year to make new plans for
usefulness, to resist temptations,
and to do better in all particulars,
that we may become better men
and women and better citizens.
Let no one rest satisfied under the
belief that he is good enough. So
long as there is room for improve
ment let us improve. With new
resolves and new ambitions let us
still strive to attain greater perfect
ness. Above all things, let us as a
people enter on q year of greater
charity. Charity that shall relieve
not only the needs of the animal,
but also the mental portions of our
natures. 1t is the first duty of the
charitable to fill the stomachs of
the poor, the next is to supply them
with means of becoming better.
Let us all enter on this good work
during the new year:
For the kindness with which our
efforts to please our readers have
been received during the past year,
we return our hearty thanks.

entangled in their net in Logic Bay, about
four miles from st. Johns. This | got

An Ice Cold Douche Bath as IL Remedy
for the Sulks.

Two or three days ago man fifty years
of age, named Augustus Towey, living
with his son.in-law on Ninth avenue, got
enragcd about something and declared
that he would die. He undrcsscd him
self, went to bed and in a short time
seemed to be dying. His face grew pale 4;
it could hardly be discovered that he
breathcd, and nothing would induce him
to unclose his eyes. While the people
believed he was playing of on them they
still felt like sending for q physician, and
accordingly did so The doctor felt the
mans pulse, rolled him over pried open
his Jaws with the handle of the hair
brush, and finally concluded that TOrrey
was in some sort of trance, brought on
by his tit of anger. AS he said there was
no danger, the dying man" WIS left to
himself He stood it all that night,
all the next day, and up To yester-
day morning without once coming
out of his fit, unless it was when
he was unobsevcd. The matter finally
became mOnotonous, and the son.inlaW
determined to try his hand at remedy.
Torrey was pulled out of bed, pinched,
screamed at and hauled around, but as
soon as he was let alone he sank down in
dying state again. Al length he was
placed on the floor, without covering, and
the son.in-law brought in pail OF cold
water and dOuscd him from head to foot.
The old man gave ~ awful scream,
lcaped To- his feet, auD looking around for
weapon, shouted: Jim, ii don't Kill
YOU for that may never do another days

chased his son.in.law into the street and

was secured and taken back. There isn't

Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1874-01-08

not so easy to see how wells in the country,
among the hills or in the green valleys,
can become so impure as TO be sources OF
disease.
Since the general Introduction of aque-
duct water into large cities, typhoid fever
has become more common IN the country
than in the city; and this disease is GER
tainly zymotic, or one which results from
a poison introduced into the blood. Wells
IN the country are very liable to become
contaminated with house sewage, as they
are generally placed, for convenience,
very near the dwelling, and the waste
liquids thrown out upon the ground find
easy access by percOlation through the
soil, to the water The instances Of such
contamination which have come to our
notice, and which gave rise to fevers, are
numerous. The gelatinous matter which
is often found covering the stones in wells
affected by sewage, is a true fungoid
growth, and highly poisonous when intro
duced into the system. 1t is undoubtedly
concerned in the production of typhoid
fever How it acts it is difficult to deter
mine, but it is at least conceivable that
the spores Of the fungus may get into the
blood and bring about changes after the
manner of yeast in beer. These spores,
it is well known, develop rapidly by a
kind of budding process and but little
time passes before the whole circulation
becomes filled with them, giving rise to
abnormal heat and general arrangement,
calico fever. These fungoid or coniervoid
growths are always present in waters rem
dered impure by house drainage, and
great caution should be used in maintain
ing well waters free from all sources of

Correct Way to Sweep Carpet.

There are three ways to sweep a carpet
one right and two wrong ways. One
wrong way is to hold the broom nearly
in front of the operator, with the handle
inclined backward toward him, then
press down as a forward thrust is given
and thus hcave the heavier dirt half way
across the room while the light particles
are sent whirling about, covering as it
settles, every article ofturniture. Another
wrong way to sweep "a carpet is 10 move
the broom forward with heavy, drawing
stroke, by which the material to be re-
moved is pressed into the carpet rather
than worked gently along on the surface.
If either of these wrong ways is adopted,
INC broom will wear out the carpet more
than it is worn by the occupants OF the
dwelling. When sweeper collects a
dust-pan half full Of the nap ofth carpet
every time it is swept new one will
soon be required.
The rant way to sweep is to incline the
handle little forward, then give a light
drawing stroke, allowing the broom to
scarcely touch the carpet. Not one-half
the weight OF the broom should be allow
ed to press on the carpet as the dirt is
moved forward Let the dirt be moved
and rolled lightly. If generous
quantity of fairgrounds, small bits Of wet
paper, or clean and wet sawdust can be
spread over the carpet before the sweep
ing is commenced, all the fine dirt will
adhere TO the wet materials. By using a
good broom having long elastic brush
touching the carpet lightly, twill scatcc
