THE DIPHTHERIA.'


Fenrfuf Scourge---What Should be Done.
A fearful scourge, the diphtheria, is
now afHictang many sections, large and
small, of the United States, and there Ia
every reason TO believe that it will extend
rather than decline in its ravages. So
important has the matter Of its arrest
become, that . meeting Of the leading
physicians of New York city was lately
held, and the origin, rise and progress Of
the scourge was carefully considered. It
was known that in New York the deaths
by diphtheria had grown gradually every
year from 53 in 1859 to 1,16l in 1873,
with n considerable increase IN 1874.
The physicians, after deliberation, arrived
at the following practical conclusions: &
1. If dphtheria has gained q foothold
In any city or populous neighborhood, it
selects certain localities in which It's per
sistence is speedily marked, and it's per
sistence, as shown by repested outbreaks
or continued prevalence, seems to hold
an important relation to certain condi-
tions Of soil, drainage, and sanitary wants
OF dwellings,, which admit Of preventive
measures.
2. The extension of the disease from
one individual to another and 10 entire
households or families, and from fzznily
to family and from place to place, are
facts 80 well proved in the historyof the
disease that the entire separation of the
sick from the well, at least OF children
sick with this disease from all others,
should be regarded as first rate sanitary
duty, r..r,4-;'. :.
8. That the immediate sanitary as well
as perfect medical care of every family
exposed to- it seems to be duty required
by every consideration of humanity and
public health. s.
4. That q complete and exact record of
diphtheria as it prevails in any locality Is
duty of much Importance TO society,
and that for the purpose of promoting
the successful discharge of this duty co
society and the medical profession, the
Public Health Association Of the. city OF
New York respectfully submits the fol-
lowing resolution as embodying its view
upon the subject
Resolved, That every Board Of Health,
every county and city medical society,
and every practitioner of medicins in tie
State of New York, is most respectfully
urged to- cause a correct record to be
prepared concerning the beginning,
progress local, domestic, and hyRienfo
conditions under which diphtheria occurs
in any plhce in the State.

New Bridal Dresses.

Creamy white and pearl white failles
are both shown for wedding dresses, says
q fashion journal, but the preference is
for the former. The prices range from
81 to 80 yard. The first quality is
handsome enough for any lady, and the
finest Is of remarkable beauty-thick,
heavily repped, yet pliable and soft; in
deed, it is no longer a commentator
that silk is stiff enough to stand alone.
White satins are shown in various uuali-
ties, costing from $3.50 to $40 yard.
Trains of new wedding dresses measure
from sixty to seventy inches in length,
which Is longer than those of ordinary
evening dresses. The new and appro-
pirate fashion is to adjust this train in a
wide quadruple plait from the belt down,
as this smooth flowing fold is far prettier
under veil than any bunched-up- over
skirt or pouf train. Three breadths Of
silk form this train, and the plait is held
In position by tapes underneath, until
near the bottom, where it spreads out
Like fan. III re is no founce, of course,
on these back breadths. A deep side
plating is across the foot of the front
and side cores, and above this is a square
tablier, formed by three bias bands of
silk, piped on one side, and edged below
Uy Julie plhIlnS. IneSe cross the
front breadths and extend up the side
cores to the belt, producing very
pretty effect. Clusters of orange flowers
are down the middle of this tablier, and
also down the tulle jabot that trims the
box-plait behind The basque is long
smooth cuirass with pointed neck and
antique slevees, trimmed with abundant
ruches of tulle around neck and elbows,
with merely piped band on the edge Of
the basque. Little shell bows of silk
fasten the front, and one is placed on
the back of the waist and on each elbow.
Another stately wedding dress is partly
of white gros grain and partly satin. The
front or petGcQat is of white satin,
trimmed with Two five-inch plaitings,
tapping, puff, and standing ruff1e two
and half inches wide. Over this a train
of white corded silk seventy inches long
behind, with the sides cut three different
lengths, forming a square front and
deeper square corners ON the sides. Two
large bows are down the front. The
basque has a position back with asmooth
cuirass front. The bride-maids' dresses
accompanying this are OF checked
Chambery gauze over white silk.

The Old Farmhouse.

At the foot Of the hill, near the old red mill,
In quiet, shady spot,
just peeping through, half hid from view,
Stands little moss-grown cot.
And straying through at the open door,
The sunbeams play on the sanded floor.
The easy chair, all patched with careS,
Is placed by the old hearth-stone
With witching grace, in the old fireplace,
The evergreens are strewn.
And pictures hang on the whitened wall,
And the old clock ticks in the cottage hall.
More lovely still, on the window-sir,
The dew-cyed flowers rest,
While midst the leaves ON the moss-grovn
The martin builds her nest
And all day long the summer breeze
whispering love to the bended trees.
Over the door, all covered DER
With q sack Of dark green baize,
Lays musket old whose worth is teld
In the events Of other days; -.
And the powder-fask, and the hunters horn,
Have hung beside it for many morn
For years have fed, with noiseless tread,
Like fairy dreams away,
And left in their fight, all shorn OF his might
father-old and gray;
And the soft wind plays with his snow-white
hair,
And the old man sleeps in his easy-chair
Inside the door, on the sanded floor,
Light, airy footsteps glide,
And maiden fair, with fa1en hair,
Kneels by the old mans side
An old oak wrecked by the angry storm,
While the ivy clings to its trembling form.

SUSY HOPES LESSON.

"H'm! Well, suppose opposition
would only make matters worse, but I
warn you Susy Maxwell is q spoiled
child don't believe she was ever
crossed in her lfe."
This was Montague Hopes comment
when his favorite nephew, Walter, told
him he was engaged to marry pretty Susy
Maxwell, the daintiest, sweetest little
blonde fairy that ever charmed away q
mans heart.
Z" 1 am sure am not going to marry
her to cross her!" was the warm reply,
and Uncle Montague shrugged his
bachelor shoulders and maintained dis
Greet silence.
For many long week after the honey
moon there was only peace and happiness
between Walter and Susy. The young
husband having good salary in q
wholesale house, where he was salesman,
had taken handsome room in fashion
able uptown boarding house, and while
Susys handsome trousseau was new she
had nothing left to wish for. Had the
little wife been in o cozy home of her
own, were it ever so tiny, she might
have found happy employment to keep
her still content. But in q boarding
house, Walter away all day, she soon
made friends with the other ladies, un-
fortunately for her, all possessing wealth
sufficient to crafty an inborn love of
dress.
Walter opened his eyes little at some
of the prices Susy insisted were requisite
to obtain inery, but as long as he could
afford it he gave literally.
But Uncle Montague was right when
he said that Susy was never crossed. It
is true her demands in her old heme
were somewhat more moderate, but she
had been the petted darling of aged
grandparents, an orphan from infancy,
and indulged in every wish. So, when
the demands for money became unreason-
able, and were refused, Susy developed
an unsupported capacity for pouting, and
would sulk for days together, quoting
her new friends opinions of Walters
meanness.
Matters grew worse and worse, till one
morning, being denied q lace shawl upon
which she had set her heart, Susy tear
fully wished that she had never been
married, or had taken Wayne Russell,
who was heir to half million. She was
sorry minute later, when Walter turned
O set white face to her and said
- You only love the money you can
. A burst of hysterical tears was the
ouiy aiiSWors huu bneu WAIVER was gone.
Not to the store. but straight to Uncle
"Unole" he said, abruptly entering
the room, "is that Western position
still open"
"The one offered to you before you
were married :"
eyes want it | Now, to-day Z"
"But you cannot take Susy. The
salary is very large, and there are hand
some commissions, but the travel is in
cessant I"
"I knowl Can I have it2"
"What is the trouble, Walter 2"
"I must have more money! Susy
wants more than can afford to give her,
and more than once has informed me
that she married to do as she pleased /;
so am going to take myself of, and let
her have all the money she wants"
Uncle Montague reflected, and finally
said slowly, "Well, you can have it. -
