Contagious Diseases III Schools.
New York Herald.

How contagious diseases are kept
alive in community in which 100, 900
children attend the public schools, is not
difficult to understand; but an expert
ence just made known III 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 so to and fro
for a 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 rs usual,
and the seeds Of disease were spread
with little less energy than if all the
children had gone-but sufficiently.

lacOnics.
New York Times.

The King of Iululand is said to have
recently addressed note to a British
officer in South Africa, as follows: "Ex-
celency-First came the missionary;
next the Consul; now the army, Getty
wayo." This brief letter recalls some
short speeches and curt correspondence,
which will doubtless be delightful read
ing in these times of long harrangues at
Albany and Washington. A western
judge once upon time addressed the
Grand Jury in these words: Gentle
men, the weather is extremely hot;
an very old; you know your duty-per
form it," Another American Judge
once interviewed in an odd way to pre-
vent a waste of words. He was sitting
IN Chambers, and seeing from the pile
of papers in the lawyers hands that q
certain case was likely to be long one,
he asked: "What is the amount in
question: 1.-TWO dollars, your Honor"
said the plaintiffs counsel "l'll pay
IT" SAID the Judge, handing over the
money; "call the next case" An Eng
lish Judge was more patient. He list
ened for a couple Of days to the argu-
ments of counsel as to the construction
OF an act, and finally observed, when
they were done: brothers, that act
was repealed year ago" One morn
ing woman was shown into DR.. Aber-
nethey's room. Before he could speak
she barred her arm saying, Burn"
"a poultice," said the doctor. Next day
she called again, showed her arm, and
said: Better Continue the poul-
tice," the response. A few days az
terward she came again, then she said:
"Well; your fee?" Nothing" said the
great physician; "you are the most sen.
sible woman | ever saw" Lord Berke-
ley, wishing to apprise the Duke ofDor-
set of his changed condition, wrote:

ried, and am the happlest dog alive.
Berkely." The answer came; "Dear
Berkely Every dog has his day. Dor
set" The editor of Chicago newspa-
per. wanting the details of a terrible in
undation in Connecticut, telegraphed to
a correspondent at Hartford: "Send

ply came quickly, "You will find them

ing. The Laureate has, unfortunately,
prejudice against French literature.
Every one remembers the poisonous
honey stolen from France" as applied
to Mr.. Swinburne's verses; though, by
the way, Mr.. Swinburne's rejoinder
about homemade treacle" is not so
we'll known as it deserves to be. The
one French writer Mr.. Tennyson loves
is Victor Hugo; Lamarin he thinks
feeble, and Balzac positively puts him
out of temper. ~
In connection with men and things
French, one may be allowed to recall
the old story of two distinguished Bri-
tons in the good city, of Paris. The
name of the one was Thackeray; that of
the other Tennyson. They put up at
the same hotel and were on terms of
personal friendship. One day Thackeray
went out, leaving Tennyson in his sitting
room. Anxious for the latter's comfort,
for it was winter, 'ne lalssez pas sortir
lie feu," quoth Thackeray in his own
detestable French, to the servant in +
tendance. After two hours stroll lie
returned to find the whole hotel N
commoton. The landlord, looking
peremtory notices to quit, informed
Tnackeray that "the madam was grow
ing dangerous, and insisted on being let
out He must send to the Commissary
Of Police without further delay.
Thackeray asked for an explanation
"Ne laissez pas sortir lie tou" was the
impression his language had conveyed
to the servant.
