Rules for the prevention of scarlet fe-
yer have lately been issued by the Michi-
gan board of health. and as this is oae of
the most contagious of diseases it might
be we'll to bear them it mind; The first
precaution is the insulation of tbs sick
from the well, and the prevention of con-
y tact with the patien. The room should
be cleared off all unnecessary clothing,
carpets, or other substances in which the
poison may Turk and be thense transfer
red elsewhere. The patient should use
rags in place OF handkerchief, SO that they
may be burned. Body and bed linen
should be placed in vessels of water con
tanning chloride OF lime of similar sub
stance. Discharges should be received
in solution of sulphate OF iron or cop
per, and be afterwards buried. Persons
recovering rom this disease should be
considered dangerous as there is any
sea ing of the skin, soreness of the eyes,
etc, Many other precautions are incul-
Gated, all Of whish are considered more
or less important.

Trying to Live without work.

The following from the pen Of Horace
Greedy is true and applicable to this day !:
Our people are too widely inclined to
shun the ways of productive labor, and
trying to live and thrive in crooked paths
of speculation and needless traffic. We
have deplorably few boys learning trades
with ten times too many trying to get
into business, that is 10 devise some
scheme whereby they may live without
work. OF the journeymen mechanics
now at work in this city, we judge that
two-thirds were born in Europe and the
disparity is steadily augmenting. One
million families are trying to live by
selling liquors, candy, ETC., in our cities,
who could be spared thereirom without
the slightest public detriment; and if
these were transferred to the soil and set
out growing grain. meat, wool, ETC., or
employed in melting metals, or weaving
the fabrics for which we are running into
debt in Europe our country. would in,
crease its wealth twice as fact as now,
and there would he far less complaint OF
dull trade and hard times.
