The Water Question has usurped lnuc

The Water Question has usurped much
of the public attention of late, and the
chickering's that have engaged the talents
of our Common Council, the Aqueduct
Board, Fire Department, Insurance Com
panies, and others, have as yet brought
forth nothing of general benefit. We
hope that, "regardless of all party affilia>
tions,'' the serious aqueous question will
be settled without resort to spades or
clubs.

Maud Muller, on winters day,
Went out upon the ice to play.
Beneath her Derby cleaned her locks
Of redbanged hair, and her crimson socks
She straddled about from ten to two.
And then, a hole IL the ice fell through.
On the bottom Of the pond she sat,
As wet and mad as a half drowned rat.
A man with hickory pole went there,
And fished her out by her auburn hair;
And her mother is said to have thumpec
her well,
Though just how hard Miss Maud won't
tell,
And hung her over stove pipe to dry.
With q thumb in her mouth and q fist il
her eye.
Ass for the maiden; alas for the hole,
And rah for the man with the hickory
pole;
For the truest words of tongue or pen
Are, ga skating girls like headless hem

Contagious Diseases in Schools.

How contagious diseases are kept
alive in a community in which 100000
children attend the public schools, is not
difficult to understand; but an expert
ence just made known in Brooklyn ex-
hibits how it is there, and it is the same
here, with the one difference that the
evil operates with US on grander scale.
In the month of January, forty-four
children, pupils of the Brooklyn schools,
were reported i'll with contagious dis
eases. In the families of which these
pupils were part there were 145 other
children who went to the public schools;
and in the houses in which the sick ones
lived, but not in the same families, were
225 other children. In all, therefore,
there were 800 pupils to go to and fro
for certain number of days between
centre of diseases and the vast gather
ings of the city children. But the law
requires that the cases shall be reported
by the health authorities to the teachers
and that they shall not permit the at
tendance of children from the houses in
which there is disease. Notwithstand-
ing this, the authorities in Brooklyn
have found that about one-third of these
children went to school just as usual,
and the seeds Of disease were spread
with little less energy than if all the
children had gone-but sufficiently.
