along to propose to her.
1t would be rash to advise the young
lady to accept the first marrying maj
who offers. 1t is equally rash to advise
her to wait, and wait, and keep on wait
ing, and at last marry nobody. Per
haps it is not necessary that all shoulC
marry. Some of the noblest women il
the world are what the world calls ole
maids; yet that is a lonely way of get
ting along. If the girl wants TO marry
the young men will find out, and he
soul will look out of the windows o
her eyes in an unmistakable manne

naturally greatest in the rural counties.
In infancy the diarrheal diseases of
summer surpassed all the other causes
of death; in the period from 8 to 10
diphtheria was most destructive; to-
ward the end of that period consump-
ton began to assert its sway, and from
10 on to 70 its place is in the front rank
of destroyers; typhoid fever found its
victims most numerously between the
ages of 10 and 50; in middle life heart
disease and pneumonia rank after con-
sumption.

How Diphtheria was Spread.

A few weeks ago little girl in st.
Albans, who had just recovered from
diphtheria, was taken by her parents to
visit family in a neighboring town
She slept with the children in that fam
lily, and shortly afterward three or four
of them were taken with the malady,
and some have since died. The family
permitted relatives and neighbors to
visit them, and the result is several cases
in the neighborhood. They had public
funerals, even keeping the remains Of
one child an unusual time, waiting for
another to die, so as to bury them to-
gether, and this also spread the con-
tagion. The physician was not power
fully impressed as some physicians are
not with the contagious character of
the disease; therefore, he did not take
the necessary precautions for the pro-
lection of the neighborhood or Of his
own family, and the result is that one
of his own children has died and anoth-
er is dangerously i'll. A lady who went
to one of these houses to robe the VIC
tins for the grave has called at houses
in the vicinity where there are chileren,
without any change Of her garments
or any attempt at disinfection, and has
fondled the children in those families.
apparently in utter ignorance Of the
danger to which she was exposingthem.
