Diphtheria and Scarlet Fever Among the
Immigrants.
The People,

The Sentine's reporter on New Years
Day ga led" at the different pisces where
the poor colored immigrants from North
Carolina made their headquarters, and re-
ports a most deplorable state Ct affairs. H.
found numbers of them down with diphthe-
ria and scarlet fsver, while there had been
several deaths from these terrible diseases.
The Deighbors 70 these localities complained
bitterly, fearful that the disease would
sprtai, which they are very likely to do. 1t
is a great pity that these people came among
us in this season OF the year, and those who
tolled them here should be made to answer
for their coming TO an outraged public
How would they feel should these fearful
dis Eases ravage the city and take off scores

Eject of Fright on Hair.

The Gazette de Hospitaux gave
an account recently of a singu.
lar case of complete alopecia. A
girl, aged seventeen, who had
always enjoyed good health, had
one day. a narrow escape from
being crushed to death by a
floor giving way beneath her.
She was very much frightened,
and the same night began to
complain of headache and chills.
The next morning she felt rest
less and had an itching of the
scalp. During the three follow
ing days she steadily improved,
with the exception of the itch
ing of the scalp. One day, in
coinbing her hair, she noticed
that it came out in great guam
titles; three days later she was
perfectly bald. Her general
health was good, but her head
continued bald, and was still SC
when seen two years later by
the reporter.

FrenchFreat1nent Of Mysteries

A new treatment of historical
affections is noticed in the Ga
zette Medtcale of Paris. In cas-
es Of paralysis of sensation it
has often been observed that
when a metal is applied for a
certain time to the insensible
surface of a limb, at the end of
about a quarter of an hour an
incomplete sensibility returned,
on a restricted zone of skin, and
from that point spreads gradual
ly during the twenty-four hours
over the whole limb. Sensibili-
ty returns, and at the same time
the skin reddens, the ternpera-
ture rises, and even the muscular
force seems increased. Strange
to say, however, in respect to
this principle Of treatment, all
metals do not act in the same
with with the same patients ev-
cry time-on some gold while
on. others copper or zinc is eff
|cient-though the same metal
always on the same patient.
Some of the most eminentFrench
physicians and chemists have
directed their attention TO this
subject.

Narcotic Nutmegs.

There is scarcely a single
household in the country in
which nutmegs are not used, and
the fact Of their being so AMI
versaLy employed may account
for our hearing SO little of their
noxious properties. 1t is, how
ever, true, that though a little
nutmeg is nota dangerous thing,
excessive use-oftha coHdiment
is attended by very serious con-
sequences. Ascase is on record
where a5pafiehti@as incautiously

made from sonealutIneg and a

into a profound ST upor. FoItu-
natcly thellarcotic ELECTS passed
after few hours. The symp-
toms were similar 10 those pro
duced by opium, and the rene
dy applied was the same. 1t is
known that stupor and delirium
have been produced by from two
to three drachms Of nutmeg,
while IN India death has result
ed from its free use. Mace, the
external covering of the nutmeg.
has the same properties.

Solomon and the Blackgmith


The story goes that, during
the building of Solomon's lem
pie, that wise ruler decided to
treat the artisans employed on
his famous edific. to banquet.
While the men were enjoying
the good things his bounty had
provided, King Solomon moved
about from table to table, en-
deavoring to become better ac-
quainted with his aorkmea. TO
one he said:
"My friend, what'sy ourtradep"
"a carpenter"
"And who makes your tools?'
1.-The blacksmith, " replied the
carpenter.
TO another Solomon said:
"What is yonl' trade?" and the
reply was:
"A mason"
"Who makes your toolsY"
"The blacksmith" replied the
mason.
A third stated that he was a
stone-cuttei', and that the black
smith also made his tools. The
fourth man that King Solomon
addressed was the blacksmith
himself. . Gle was a powerful
man, with barred arms, on which
the muscles stooaloGth bold. re-

theimetal he worked! hnsloo "

vowed snitor he brings with
him a bottle of wine, of which

it 10 the object of Eis affections.
In any case she will not refuse
it point blank--that would be
too gross an insult; bit, should
the wooer not be agreeable TO

the lad and is equal to owning
lit, she empties the glass, taking
care not to spill any of the wine,

vine between them" say the
peasants when a marriage turns

Cellars.


Experiments prove that the

lates through the house, and
that, too, not only By means Of
the frequcntly-opened doors,
Tut that too when the .keyholes

Yet how many SOURCES Of con-
taminaiion are found In cellars
Rotting wood-the entire floor

vegetables stored there for the
winter and their refuse left the
year round; musty barrels of
vinegar or cider; badly-con-

water-closets, foul at tlh best
and fouler through defects; de-
fective sink aud sewef-drains,
not pnfrequently saturating the
soil beneath the floor with filth.
Many cellars are dug directly
into "fnKle" land, anderhe gases

which the soil is mole, or less
filled pour directly into them,
just as the water of the soil

This latter point is more i'm

air circulates freely through tho
soil, even when frozen. Per-
