Diphtheria.

This diseases which in some locali-
ties is as fatal as small pox or scarlet
fever, belongs to that class supposed
to result from transmission, although
1t may occur from impurity in diet or
dwellings. At q recent meeting of
the Public Health Association, the
causes, and the best methods cf avoid
ing it were fully discussed. The fol-
lowing conclusions were arrived at:
First.-In,purity is the natural al
ly of all such infections. Cleanli-
ness is their foe. 1t may not always
prevent or conquer, but the prospect
Of success is best where it is. A child
with clean breath, clean skin, in a
house where th5re is only pure air
stands better chance to escape the
disease, or to recover if contracting
it, than do those under opposite cir
cumstances. The exceptions do not
disturb the rule. ...........
Second.-Next in Importance is $50
lation. Diphtheria is disease not
easily carried from house to house by
visitors; but which no doubt can be
transmitted by folding it up in gar
ments imp: egnated with the breath
or containing the infsctive particles
Of he diseased persons. Children
should never be exp :sed to those hav.
ing it,
Third.-The very first symptoms
must be attended to. 1t is disease
which is virulent in the outset and
often causes blood changes very early,
such as prevent eatment. Where
the disease is very prevalent, no
chlld's throat should pass without
daily examination, for the disease 10
often under full headvay and patches
formed before there is much COM
plant. ......
Fourth-By proper regulation of
tho child and by The use Of quinine,
iron, chlorate of potassium as pre-.
ventives, in small doses, sufficient to
insure their special presence at all
times in the blood, during an epidem-
ic, that children can be protected from
this poison as readily as they can be
protected from small pox by vaccina-
ton. 1t must be an exact, methodi-
cal administration, such as shall not
be excessive, and yet shall show that
the bloodpaths RE thus pre-occupied.
MACCAULAY on SUNDAY.-Man /!
mani this is the great creator of
wealth. The difference between the
soil of Campania and Spitzbergen is
insignificant compared with the differ
ence presented by two countries, the
one inhabited by men full of morals
and physical vigor, the other by be-
ings plunged in an Intellectual decrep-
itude. Hence it is that we are not
impoverished, but on the contrary en-
riched by this seventh day, which We
have for SO many years devoted to
rest. This day is not lost. While
the machinery is stopped, while the
smoke ceases to rise from the chimney
of the factory the nation enriches it.

working days of the week. Man, the
machine of all machines, the one by

A Year of Troubles.

Au dlududC uldkeI III LOuuOu pre-
diets that the year 1879 will dawn
on scenes of violence, bloodshed, ac-
cidonts and explosions. In January
there will be strife and bloodshed in
Spain; affairs will go wrong in this
country, and public disputes will be
embittersd; in England the imprison-
ment and disgrace of some great per
sonage connected with the government
may be looked for.
In February, Saturn and Mars will
combine to stir up trouble in Europe,
Mexico and India. In March many
deeds Of vengeance will be perpetrat-
ed in Russia; danger will lurk in the
path of the Emperor of Germany
March II; a great clerical scandal will
de developed in England; there will
be war and famine in India and
China, and in this county discord be-
tween the President and people,
trouble with the Indians, and religious
disputes, leading to scenes of violence.
In April the religious world will
be greatly agitated. In May railway
companies will experience great ad-
verse fluctuations of their securities
In June there will be war in A ustria,
Turkey and Greece and in this count
ry cruel epidemic fever, cattle disease,
a high birth rate, q prosperous dra-
matte season and GOOD fortune to the
advocates of woman suffrage. And so
on until December, when more than
one lynaety in Europe will tremble,
the Socialists become a terror to So
ciety, and the uprising Of the Greek
and Slave races shake Eastern Eu-
rope to its found dations.
The predictions are based on the
conjunctions and aspects of the plan
cts, and are made, the author de-
clares, in accordance with "the sim
pie and natural rules Of astral science,
as first collected by Claudius, Ptolemy ,
and illustrated by Didacus, Plscidus
de Titus
This almanac has been published
for nearly fifty years, and has always
abounded in predictions in character
like those above In 1858 it was pre-
dicted that earthquakes would occur
near Carthagena about July Is. On
the 18th there was an earthquake at
Cumana, near Carthegena, in which
1000 persons lost their lives. In
1875 it vas predicted that there
would be misfortunes to American
railroads and a great catastrophe
| The Ashtabula horror occurred Dec
%. For July, 1873, it was predicted
that there would be in America "many
violent, sudden and terrible deaths by
sunsiroke"
Having made several good guesses
in the course of fifty years, the alma
nae astrol'ger points with pride te
his predictions for the future, and
asks the people to believe in his sys
TEN. The predictions grade with
those made by other almanac proph
cts, and are curious, to say the loast.
