The San Francisco call reports leading
physician of that city as saying:
"Ihere is no doubt that diptheria is more
prevalent than usual, but | could scarcely
call it epidemic. IL has so happened that
there have been good many cases lately in
my practice; but then | know several phys
icians who have scarcely had a single case,
although their practice is fully equal to mine,
which proves that the disease is not so gem
eral as some people appear to think. Dipthe-
ria is as much a zymotic disease as Is small
pox or scarlet fever. 1t is poisonous con-
dition Of the blood, and the swollen glands,
sore throat, ETC., are simple local evidences
of its existence. 1t is, without doubt, ex-
tremely infectious, being propagated by
contact with the clothing, and more espec-
tally by bodily contact, such as kissing
Among the first evidences are soreness of the
throat, often very slight; swelling of the
lymphathic glands-that is, those in the
neck below the jaw--fever and loss of appe-
tite, an offensive BREATH and a gangrenous
false meabrane of grayish or dirty white,
which at first appears in patches on the ton
sls, and then spreads to the palate, etc. If
there is any reason to believe that person
is infected with the disease, some one should
insert the handle of spoon into the pa
tient's mouth, examine the throat carefully,
and should any one of these whitish spots
be found, send for doctor at once. This
disease is very rapid in its growth, and can
not be too quickly attended to. One of its
forms is almost always fatal-croupa dip
therla-that is where it is accompanied by
hoarse, croupy cough. | wonld in some re-
spects prefer having smallpox in my family
to diptheria, for there are more safeguards
against contagion in the former. At the
worst one can be vaccinated and take the
disease only in mild form. When there is
case of dipthera in the family the greatest
care must be taken to guard against contain
ination. The patients clothes must be wash
ed in boiling water and be used by no other
person. There should be no good night or
morning kisses given, for they, of all things,
extend the disease. The childen should be
kept in the open air and sun as much as pos
sible. The windows should be kept open
that the rooms may be thoroughly ventilated,
for fresh air. is the greatest counteractant.
Above all things there should be no sinted
diet but any amount Of wholesome, strength
eaing food, for in the weak system and dis
ordered stomach lie tho main roots of the
disease, With good medical advice PROMPT
ly called, and with proper attention To cver-
else, air. food, and non-contact with the sick
person. there ~ every reason to hope that
the disease will not spread in family. As
rule, chillren only are victims, for it is
rare to tnd the. ease of a grown person who
does not recover from ,a clecs'

The derivation OF many words in common
use is exceedingly curious and interesting.
Probably few people have any idea whence
comes the word "tramway," by which the
English people denote horse, car track. 1t
is derived from the second syllable of the
name Outram. The ancestor of Sir James
Outram, very distinguished General who
died few years ago, took leading part IN
horse railroads for drawing coal etc. and his
roads were called Outram ways, and gradu-
ally the first syllable was dropped. Another
curious derivation is that of the word "wal-
lop,' meaning to beat. an wallop him."

land. 1t arises from complete naval vic

very ancient family of which the Earl of

MAGIC RECIPROCALS.

Professor Gustavus FRANKIE nston lcctured yestcr-
upon 'Reciprocal Identity" The title OF the lecture
is somewhat puzzng one and without tho aid Of dia
grams the lecture itself would possibly have left the
hearers In log The statement Of the principle It.
self, which Mr.. Frankcnstcn claims to have discov
ercd is necessarily ahsruse, and really the
whole ground OF the lecture. This principle may DO
briefly stated follows:-If all the points OF a poygon
in ono direction be numbered around tho pciimeter,
aud all its Sides beginning with any side, in the oppo-
site direction any point number then stands between
two limo numbers exactly as the Same line number
stands between two point numbers. This rule, intci-
gently applied is sufficient for the rccprocation Of any
figures whatever 1t follows from tins that curves re-
cprocate thcmsclves--in other words that their
cprocals curvcs OF like nature. To every
point Of figure there corresponds a line In tho
reciprocal aud. rice rersd. every line there
gard TO tho lines Of the reciprocal exactly ms the lines
associated with regard to tho points its original
figure. Tho point and the line are the propagating
pr opertcs and by means OF these fructyng all
figures rcciprocated, and by them alone 1t is to
be understood that these remarks apply figures in
plane Tho principle OF reciprocal Identity extends to
volumes also, with notifications of the laws above
stated. IL can be shown that infinite variation Is pos
sblo without the boundaries of the type being even
passed. The magic rcclprocals are the symmetrica
manifestations OF the principle OF rcclprocu identity
They demand the recognition of force which is tho
greatest force In naturcthe force OF symmetry. Bal
and variety the foundation OF all beauty Man
is perfectly balanced Tho power Of symmetry has
tabshcd the balance, notwithstanding the unsymmet-
rical internal organization.
