December.

To-day We enter upon the last month
Of the wear - December With the
Romans il was the tenth month thence
its name, from d,ccm, ten and after the
change in the calendar, by which the
beginning of the year was transferred
from March to January, it still retained
IT'S old name. In the Athenian calendar
the last half OF Poseidion and the first
half of Gamelion correspond to Decem-
Der. In the French revolutionary cal
endar December is represented by the
last two-thirds Of Fremaire and the first
twO-thirds OF NivOSe.
As the winter solstiCe falls in the
month of December, the average length
OF the DAYS is less and Of the nights
greater. than in any other month of the
wear. Formerly winter was supposed
to begin with this month, but the 2ist
j. now regarded as the first day OF win
ter. The only feature OF the month,
worthy of notice, is the fact that 1t
brings Christmas.

ADVANCE IN GLASS.
Caused by Advances in Material.

The last article OF Importance IN
Wheeling manufactures to advance, IN
keeping pace with the improvement OF
the times, Is glassware. A general up
ward movement OF abOut 10 perez has
at length taken place, and II may 90 SIM
higher. The advance, which was eN-
peCted. took place in other cities some
time ago, and the result was a great rush
of orders TO this city. Every factory
IN this vicinity has been working night
and day to keepup with orders, and the
trade has been enjoying boom. Since
the advance there has been no lack OF
orders. and the extra work has been still
maintained.
The cause of the advance Is the in
creased cost Of material OF every descrlp-
ton. There has been marked advance
i'm clay, from which pots are made,
and which comes partly from Eng
land and partly from Pennsylvania
The better quality comes from stone
bridge, England, and forms an important
! feature in glass making.
The white sand, which enters most
| largely into the composition OF glass,
has also advanced. The most OF it comes
from PENNSYLVANIA, though some comes
from the upper New England States.
Soda-ash and nitrate OF soda are high
er in price and in greater de-
mand. The former comes from
England and has been cheaper
since the appreciation OF currency, but
| has risen lately. The nitrate comes from
| Chill. and is scarcer and more eNpen-
sive. The war between Chill and Peru
and Chill: and Bolivia has stopped the
factories and prevents exports.
As the natural results OF these adj
vances, together with the advance IN
coal and labor, manufactured glass has
taken an upward jump. The increase
has been general, but more marked III
| some classes than in others.

1t will be seen, by glance at the ia
bic, that the deaths from dlphtherla
alone numbered -, or more than any
month during the year. The dlphtherla
deaths for previous months We're: Jan
uary, /; February, /; March, /; April,
/; May, /; June, l; July, 5; August,
IS; September, s; aud October, 10. Dur
ing August, or when the cry went up
from East Wheeling, there were Is
deaths from diphtheria out OF 81; last
month there were % out OF 40, an in
crease of 20 per cent. And yet there Is
no stir about it.
Last months dead were divided among
the. wards as follows: First l, Second
.. Third >, Fourth =, Fifth :, Sixth ],
Seventh > and Eighth /. 1t seems a
pertinent fact that the wards bordering
upon the creek had the largest death
rate from diphtheria. The Filth, which
seems well drained and is the smallest
ward in the city, had the most deaths.
The Health officer is disposed to regard
the diphtheria epidemic as being Sc
rious in the extreme and that mucn
| less than the proper care Is bestowed
upon il. Certain it is that such an IN
infectious and contagious disease could
not be too carefully guarded against. II
his advice were followed he would have
| the same powers as are given in small
pox cases-patients would be isolated,
houses would be tagged during the
sickness of inmates and the burial OF
diptheria victims would be strictly prl-
| vate.
Physicians observe the most rigid
care in treating these cases, and 1t Is
surprising to note the oittimes careless
ness of parents of sufferers. Visitors
are admitted and the healthy members
of families are permitted TO attend and
wait upon the invalid This is all wrong.
A patient should be strictly isolated, and
! none but the parent, or nurse and ply
stefan admitted. Call in medical aid at
the first symptoms, and do not wait until
| the disease becomes marked. Bear in
mind the dread destroyer that is sweep
ing over the city and dcsola.
ting your hearthstoncs and guard your
little ones. Ofthe ~ deaths, last month,
20 were children between the ages OF |
and > wears, aud such are to be most
carefully watched. DO not kiss your
neighbor's baby. The disease cannot
be more readily contracted. Keep your
children from infected yicinitie', and
carefully regulate the sanitary condition
of your premises.
