Any one can put up hammock. All
you've got to do is to unite about 500
klao,s. unravel about 800 snarls, and
work over the thing until you can tell
whether the open side was meant to 90
up or down. This puzzled Harper for
full twenty minutes, but he finally got
it right and fastened the ends to two
convenient trees.
Then he took offhis hat and coat and
rolled in with a great sigh of relief. No,
he didn't quite roll in. He was all
cHdy to when the hammock walked
away from him, and he rolled over on the
grass and came to spot with a croquet

upper half got into the hammock all
right but the lower half kicked and
thrashed around on the grass until the
small boy, who didn't mean to leave
the neighborhood until the show was
out, felt called upon to exclaim:
You can't turn a handspring with
your head all wound up in that ere net,
and I'll bet money on it,"
Harper suddenly rested upon his
labors to rise up and shake his fist at
the Young villain. but that didn't help
the ease a bit. He hadn't got into the
hammock vet: He carefully looked
the case over, and decided that he had his
plans too high. He therefore lowered
the net to within two feet of the ground

A distressing story is related of the
manner in which an aged New Haven
woman is alleged to have been treated

How Typhoid is Carried.

Ten thousand persons annually die
of typhoid fever in Great Britain. Two
hundred thousand year are attack
ed by the fever, and yet the disease
may be prevented.
An article in the Njacteenh Century
discusses the question of its propoga-
ton. We give some of the leading
points.
The various infectious diseases have
each their proper seat in the system.
That of typhoid ever is in certain
glands in the bowels. These are its
nit{us-the spot where alone the CON
tagious germ can find Judgment
If the germ enters the body through
the lungs, and thus passes into general
circulation, the probability is that it
will again pass out of the system with
out causing sickness. But it is quite
likely to reach the glands where it will
terminate, if it enters through the
stomach with the water drank
In this case the germ soon multiplies
to millions Of germs, as the yeast fun
gus multplies in dough. Hence the
excrements of the patient are filled
with them, and if these are thrown
upon the ground or into open outhouses
or cess-pools, they generally find their
way into wells-perhaps into Il neigh
boris, or possibly into a well which sup
plies many families-endanger the
lives of the persons who drink the wat
er
TO remove all danger. thoroughly
disinfect all focal discharges, and ii III
the country, they should be taken at
least 200 feet from any well. Under no
circumstances should they be disposed
Of in an open clubhouse. In the city,
in case the drainage is good-it is safe
to use the sewer.
The author of the article maintains
that as the infectious germs are carried
out in what passes from the patient,
the sick room is wholly safe to friends
and attendants This we do not fully
accept We believe that more or less
Of the germs enter the atmosphere in
the room and may be inhaled; still,
that there is next to no danger if the
room is kept properly ventilated.
As general thing, one attack Is
proof against a second. The glands
that constitute the seat Of the disease
are quite rudimentary in childhood; in
crease in size and activity till puberty;
are almost fully developed from, say, 10
to 40, when they gradually diminish,
losing their activity Mt 20. Hence the
prevalence and violence of typhoid
fever in persons whose ages are between
10 and 10. and the general exemption
of infants and the aged Youths Conf

The war-ship of the Future.

The acute German mind has already
perceived the folly of building impree
nable ships. The learned Professor Loe-
wenthal has become convinced that in
stead of building ships which cannot be
pierced by the guns now in use, we should
build ships which would offer the least
possible resistance to cannon balls. He
claims that the frigate Of the future will
be SO constructed that the balls of the
enemy. will pass directly through her
without inAicting any damage, and that
she will attack her enemy, not with guns,
but with torpedoes. Herr Loewenthal
selects for the material of his newly-in-
vented war vessel India rubber of one
foot in thickness. The whole hull is to
be made of India rubber strengthened
below the water-line with light steel
frame. The vessel will be driven by an
ordinary steam engine, and will have no
masts. At the bow will be projecting
spar, to which the torpedo will be affixed,
and the entire crew, including the helms
man, will be on the lower deck out of the
range of shot. When cannon ball
strikes the India rubber ship, it will pass
directly through it above the heads of the
crew, and the hole made by it will in
stantly close. Paying no attention to
such futile attacks the India rubber yes
sci will steam toward her adversary and
explode her torpedo The doomed yes
sci will instantly sink, while her elastic
destroyer will be driven hundreds of
yards backward by the recoil following
the explosion Such a vessel, says the
inventor, could easily destroy all the ma
vies Of the world, and after her work was
done she could be made as strong as ever
with the aid of two or three bottles Of
cement-NeW York Times.
