In view Of the alarming prevalence of
scarlet fever i'll many parts of the coiul-
try, the following hints by the British
Medical Journal are wholesome warn-
ings: There aro three common ways by
means Of which infections diseases may
he very widely spread. It is a very
usual practice for parents tO take children
suffering with scarlet fever, measles, ETC.,
to public dispensLry, in order to obtain
advice md medicine. 1t, is little less
than crime to expose, i'll the streets Of 4
town and in tic crowded waiting room OF
u dispensary, children afflicted with such
complaints. Again, persons who Are re-
covering from infectious disorders hor-
row bOoks.out of the lending departments
Of public libraries; these books, on their
traisSlIe to, fOSl borrowers, arc sources
Of very great danger. Ip all libraries,
notices should be posted up informing
borrowers tint no books will hc lent ont
! to persons WHO are suffering from Ills.
eases Of an infectious character; and that
any person so suffering will be prose.
cuted ii. lie borrow during the time OF his
illness. Lastly, disease is spread by
tract distributors. It is the habit for
such well meaning people to call at a
House where a pcrsouis i'll and leave him
tract. In week or 80 the tract is
called for ngNin, another left in its place,
and the oil one is left with another per-
BON. 1t needs not mitch imagination to
kliow with what result TO health such n
practice will lead il the first person he in
scarlet fever or smallpox.
Dr.. Hutton offers q warning on the
reckless manner in which parents allow
their healthy children to run into the
houses Of aCQuaintaures who have mam-
bers Of their families suffering from scar
latina, etc., and states that he has seen
the infection thus carried from tho pa
tient, and several families attacked.

Whales on the California coast.

Last week, says recent number OF
tile -Uontcrey. tulitor3iidn, our Portu-
guese fishermen killed 'lnrge female
whale, of the California gray species,
about sixty feet in length, being some
twenty-five feet larger than Inns ever
been killed here before-the average :of
females killed being about forty-two
feet. After cutting of the blubber,
they found inside nearly full grown
male calf, which measureil eighteen feet
from the end Of its nose to tile tip Of its
tail, or fluke rs the wllalers call it; the
circumference OF the body at its center,
nine feet; the held about four feet III
length; pectoral fins, three feet; breadth
Of tail, three aud a half feet; and il h,ul
two ridges on the lower inv. When
brought on shore it still had three feet
Of the umbilical cord attached to il.
The whalebone on its upperi jaw was soft
ind white; the tongue, large and soft !;
the eyes, nearly full size, about rs large
as a cows; and tho skin was Of a dark
brown, mottled white. It had no dorsal
flu. The females, when with Young,
generally keep of shore when on their
wny down south, to bring them forth in
the warm waters Of the bays Of Lower
California, where they remain all winter
and go north III the spring. The fe-
males, when with calf, arc dangerous,
us they often attack the boats Of the
whalers. A., The writer once saw, a boat
cut completely IN two by tho a,lkes Of
one Of these whales, and itlookeil rs if it
hid been chopped in two by n dull AK;
and several of the men were wounded.
The term OF gcstationis about Une year.
Formerly these marine monsters were SO
numerous in Monterey hay that wllalers
would I'LL up lying ut anchor. Often
times they would be seen playing in the
surf md rolling the barnac!cs OF OF their
sides and hacks on the sand beacll-an
odd way of scratching themselves. 's'.
