Treatment of Diphtheria.

The following rules for the prevention
or eXtirpation of diphtheria form the
concluding sentences of q report sub
mitted recently by DR.. Stephen Smith o.
the Board of Health:
"PRECAUTIoNs. - The DWELLING OF
APARTM TMENT.-Cleanlines in and around
the dwelling, and pure air in living and
sleeping rooms are of the utmost i'm
portance wherever any contagious dis
ease is prevailing, as cleanliness tends
both to prevent and mitigate it. Every
kind. and source Of filth around and in
the house should be thoroughly removed
cellars and foul areas should be cleaned
and disinfected; drains should be put in
perfect repair; dirty walls and sceilings
should be lime-washed; and every occu
pied room should be thoroughly venti-
lated Apartments which have been oc-
cupied by persons sick with diphtheria
should be cleansed with disinfectants,
ceilings lime-washed and woodwork
painted, the carpets, bedclothes, uphol-
stored furniture, etc, exposed many
days to fresh air and the sunlight. All
articles which may be boiled or subjected
to high degrees of heat should be thus
disinfected Such rooms should be ex-
posed to currents of fresh air for at least
one week before re-occupation.
WELL CHILDREN.-When diphtheria is
prevailing, no child should be allowed to
kiss strange children, nor those suffering g
from sore throat (the disgusting custom
OF compelling children TO kiss every visi-
tor is we'll contrived method of propa-
eating other grave diseases than diph-
theria,) nor should it sleep with or be
confined to rooms occupied by, or use ar
ticles Gas toys taken in the mouth, hand
kerchiefs, etc.) belonging to, children
having sere throat, Group, or catarrh. Ii
the weather is cold, the child should be
warmly clad with hannels.
WHEN DIPHTHERIA is IN THE Family
The we'll children should be scrupulous-
ly kept apart from the sick, in dry, well
aired rooms, and every possible source OF
infection, through the air, by personal
contact with the sick, and by articles
used about them or in their rooms,
should be rigidly guarded. Every attack
of sore throat, Group, or catarrh should
be at once attended to. The feeble
should have invigorating food and treat
ment.
"SIcK CH1LDREN.-The sick should be
rigidly isolated in we'll aired (the air be-
ing entirely changed at least hourly, }
unlighted rooms. the outflow of air be-
ing, as far as possible, through the ex-
ternal windows by depressing the upper
and elevating the lower sash, or chin
ney heated by a fire in an open fireplace;
all discharges from the mouth and nose
should be received into vessels contain
ing disiniectants, as solutions of carbolic
acid or sulphate of zinc, or upon cloths
which are Immediately burned, or (if not
burned) thoroughly boiled or placed un-

Lily Dale.

In the years gone by an old Michigan
quill-driver named Blake, who was killed
at Fair Oaks, came into Detroit on bust
ness, he being then connected with
a paper in the western part of the State.
He got pretty full by evening, but was
invited into the ladies parlor of the hotel,
with others, to hear young lady initiate
a new piano. After she had played sew
eral tunes Blaze asked her to play Lilly
Dale" She complied, and he sat down
in q chair and cried, excusing his action
by saying to the crowd: "Its bad song,
and it always puts me in mind of my
dead mother" 1t was played again. and
Blake went to bed with Lily Dale" ring
ing IN his ears. He occupied the same
bed with merchant clerk, the hotel
being crowded, and soon after turning in
Il dog commenced to howl in the back
yard. "Woooo-hoo-hool" "Git Quits
only q dog bowling" replied the clerk
Stranger" said Blake, as he turned his
head, stranger, if you'd lost your poor
old mother and felt as bad as l do, you d
bet fifty dollars to five that it was Lily
Dale. Yes. it's that same song, and I've
got to cry again. And he got up and
sat down on the lid of chest and wept
profusely.-DStr0it Free Press.

Homecoming.

When brothers leave the old hearthstone
Ana 60 each one, separate way
We tnlnk, rs we 90 on alone
Along our pathway, day by day.
Oi olden scenes and faces dear;
Of voices that we miss so much.
ana memory brings the absent near,
Untll We almost feel the touch
vi loving hands, and hear, once more,
The dear old voices ringing out,
As IN that happy time of yOre,
Hre life had caught shade Of doubt.
If you should place against your ear
The shell you plunuered from the sea,
Down in its hidden heart you hear
low and tender melody,
A Inurmur of the restless tide;
"A yeafnln9, born OF memory,
AND, though its longings be denied,
The shells keep singing OF the sea,
anu sometimes when Old memories throng
Like ghosts, the chambers of our soul,
W feel the yearnlng, deep and strong,
a longing we cannot control.
To lay our cares and business by
And seek the old, familiar ways,
And cross homes threshold, and sit down
with comrades OF our earlier days.
For, though our paths are sundered wide
We feel that We are brothers yet,
And by and by we turn aside
From hurrying care and worldly fret,
And each one wanGeTs back to meet
His brother by the hearth of home:
think the meeting is more sweet,
Because so far and wide we roam.
We cross the lengthening bridge of years,
Meet OutStTetched hands and faces true;
Whe silent eloquence of tears
Speaks welcome that no words could do.
But ah, the meetings hold regret!
- The sad, sad story, often told,
Oh hands that ours have often met,
Close folded under churchyard mould,
or eyes that smiled into our own,
Closed in the dTeamIesS sleep of God.
A sweeter rest was never known
Than theirs beneath the graves white sod
a tender thought for them tonight,
4 tribute tear from memory;
Beneath their covering of white
Sweet may their dreamleSS slumber be.

One of the students at Davidson Col
lege, who was too lazy to do anything
right, was in the habit of cleaning out
his lamp chimney by running his finger
down in it as far as he could, and twist
ing it around. After he had cleaned it
out in this partial manner one day, not
long ago. fellow student took it up and
carried it to the residence of one of the
professors with the inquiry "Why is it
this chimney is smoked just up to this
point and no further?' The learned gen.
tleman entered into an elaborate scieu-
titic explanation of why it was. arguing
with great lucidness and citing various
authorities to show the correctness of his
reasoning. When he had flushed, the
student said to him: No, sir, you are
wrong" why is it then y inquired the
professor. because the fellows finger
wasn't long enough to reach any further,
replied the student.

A Thousand Miles an Hour.

Sitting quietly at my desk this calm
evening the wind hushed outside, and
the sound of conversation unheard of in
the house, how can l believe that in
spite of all this calmness, ] am at rest ?
Ii it is true, as l have been told it is, that
while ] sit in my armchair, | am at the
same time travelling more swiftly than
the swiftest train of cars were ever driven,
or the swiftest bird can fly If so, then
in what carriage am l drawn, and where
is the steed that draws it2
You and l are travelling more swiftly
than the swiftest antelope can run. The
world itself is our carriage, and the power
which drives it is the force which God,
who made the world and US, has brought
to bear on it.
Look at the sun in the early morning
1t is seen in the eastern sky, just rising
over the hills or the tree-tops. Higher
and higher it climbs, until noon, and
then lower and lower it sinks until it
goes out of sight beyond the Western
hills. Men once thought that the sun
did thus travel every day from east to
west! We are not to trust the appear
ance; to tell US false. 1t is not the mo-
ton of the sun over heads; it is the mo-
tion of the earth itself which makes the
sun appear to rise in the east Every
ddy INC SdrGu luFDS around, ana carries
us and all its other burdens of hills and
forests, and rocks and seas, with it. Just
as riding swiftly in railroad car, we
sometimes, for the moment, think the
trees and houses, rocks and fences, to be
hurrying past US in the opposite direc-
ton, SO the world, carrying us swiftly on
from west to east, has made it appear
that the sun and moon and stars were
travelling from east to west.
But who can tell how fast the earth is
turning on its axis? Why, any boy or
girl who has studied arithmetic can tell
For the earth is $4,000 miles in circum-
ference and turns once around in exact
ly twenty-four hours. Now Jamie says,
divide $4,000 by "a, and you get the num-
ber OF miles it must turn in one hour.
And find it to be little more than one
thousand. SO, while you and 1 are sitting
by our evening lamps, quietly reading or
writing, we were being whIrled along our
journey, never stopping, and at the rate
of more than a thousand miles an hour.

THE GATE CLosED,-Some people live
sixty years without learning when to
keep their mouths shut. Indeed, the
older they grow, the wider their mouths
open. Carlyle somewhere says that what
people have need to learn, is the art of
silence. A man or woman that is great
gabbler at forty five, is a horrid creature !;
whether the propensity is hereditary or
acquired, it is simply awful This age
shows an unnatural development Of
tongue There are two things this gen
Grafton need to learn-when to say
nothing; and when they say anything, to
say it well.

Sorrowing, Yet Rejoicing.


l sit alone and listen
For steps that never come;
And no sweet voice makes music
In my deserted home.
hear no childish prattIe,
No patter of small feet,
And, when l pass my doorway,
No smiles my entrance greet.
L see no broken playthings,
No clothes that children wear,
And by my side, is only
y little empty chair.
Yet go on rejoicing
That though my home is bare,
Heaven has an added number,
For all my babes are there.
