NOT GOOD PLACE FOR A MARKET
Application was made by an enterprising cit

Dom1nic's church, the convent and st. Dom
mics Hall, but Building Inspector Entwisle de-
clined to issue it without the consent of Com
missioner Morgan, who has special charge of
market house affairs, on the ground that the
location of such q business in that neighbour
hood would be detrimental to the church prop

shops, &C, &C., and at the same time obnoxious
to the congregation worshipping there. The

Famine in Turkey.

A Constantinople corresuonders writes: While the sultan shuts himself up in the fildiz Kiosk, surrounded by place hunting pashas. who take care that nothing unpleasant shall reach the royal ears, the country is progressing from bad to worse. Misery, destitution and famine have it all their own way in the provinces From Europe and Asia comes the cry of distress; letters from Erzeroum glye q fearful picture of the condition of several surrounding dis trlcts: At Bayazid people have goue mad from hunger. and many have been poisoned by eating roots and moses: grain IS forbidden to cross the border from Persia and Russia, and the local governor is grinding three years taxes from the starving peasantry. his excuse being that the money is reouired for Constantinople. The vail. or poyernor>- general, looks on with folded hands. and estimates that there is enough grain i'm the province to feed all the inhabitants: possibly the quantity exists but it is locked up in the granaries of the tithe collectors or specuiators, and might as well be in the heart of Africa as far as the people are concerned. But the pov- ernor has ordered list to be made out ot the poorest; judging from experience in such matters, the officers employed will take a month to draw up this list. and by that time the destitute will be dead, and the commissioners-for the Turks can do nothing without a com mission-sent to verify the list will re- port that they have not been able to find the people said to be in distress. The Turks give arms freely to professional beggars, to sturdy cripples and stout inn posters; but to organize systematic re- lief they are incapable. A famine is kiSniet, and it is wrong to fly in the face of Providence. The doctrine is consola- tory for those who can believe in it, but it smacks a little of selfishness. On foreign aid alone must the wretched rely, and turn their imploring eyes to the alleviators of Sheir distress of 1875 the British and Americans

How to Treat Diphtherfa.

A person sick with yellow fever, it is supposed, does not directly give the disease to another. The contagious poiSon-whateyer its source-is ab- sorbed by wooden or cotton or other porous material, which thus becomes a source of cOntagion.
 Diphtheria. however, like smallpox, may be communicated directly from one person to another. Besides this, the poison may flsten on any porous article within the sick-room-the bed-clothing, window curtains, writing-paper, books, and clothing hanging in the closets. Or it may be absorbed by water, milk, or other fluids that are exposed in the room. and sometimes even in distant parts of the house.
 Of course, everything about the house should be disinfected as thoroughly as if the disease had been smallpox, and no person should be admitted into the house until after the disinfectiCn. As to articles of clothing, they should be carefully disinfected by themselves.
 The hair of the patient, also, ought to be subjected to repeated disinfections- or, in severe cases, closely shaved and then burned.
 Last summer a family of three chil- dren in St. Albans, Vt, had diphtheria and recovered from it. Alter their re- covery they played about the streets for a fortnight. Then they were sent on a visit to friends in Fairfield, in which town there was no case of the disease. After their visit the diphtheria broke out in all the four families that the chil- dren had visited. Of course, the sup position is fully warranted that they carried it with them in their hair or in their clothing.
 In Russia there arc districts where 1t is said half the infant. nt.population have ately been swept away by diphtheria; and in Odessa, since last spring, more than three-fourths of all the children have died of it. In parts of New Eng land whole families of children have been attacked by the disease, and large portion of them have not re. covered And this will continue until antilles and town authorities deal with ft as they do with smallpox-by fullest isolation and the most thorough dlsin- lection.
