Dangers Of the Season.

LIE extremely warm weather Of last
week should warn the authorities of
cities and towns of the necessity Of
stringent sanitary rules and regulations.
Diseases of all kinds are more likely TO-
take the form Of distemper and become
epidemic in the summer season than In
the winter or spring, and proper atten.
ton should therefore be paid to thor
ouGh cleanliness in and around all
buildings, both public and private. The
attention of the public is often called to
this important fact, not only by the
health authorities, but by newspapers
as well. yet the advice too often goes
unheeded, and at length apparently
without cause, q contagious disease
breaks out and sweeps through neigh
borhood. In nearly every case, how
ever, investigation reveals the cause.
Bad drainage, stagnant water, over
flowing vaults and cess-pools, and many
other kindred evils which owe their ex-
istence mainly to the culpable careless
less OF those whose duty it is to keep
them in order, are daily sending men,
women and children to untimely gravan
Amo urnful illustration of the danger of
neglecting these matters is found in
the fearful ravages of diphtheria
among the school children of New
Lots, L. I. OF three hundred and fifty
children attending ono of the public
schools, one hundred were attacked
with the disease in its most malignant
type; and out of these thirty-one have
died. Tho result is of course a panic
among children and parents alike. A
slight examination reveals the fact that
the schoolhouse stands very near large
pond of stagnant water, which has been
made the receptacle from time to time
of dead animals and decaying vegeta-
BILE matter. The stencil which arose
from the pond could be discerned at a
great distance, and at length the dor
mant energies of the authorities were
aroused and they proceeded to have the
pond filled up. But their efforts came
too late. Before the work was COM
pleted diphtheria made its appearance
among the scholars with fatal effects.
Another illustration of the danger of
neglecting the drainage of q town is
found in the ravages Of malarial fever
at Princeton College. So large a num-
Der of the students have been stricken
down with this disease that the faculty
have deemed it the part of wisdom to
grant q recess to the students until
Commencement-day. There are proba-
bly, many other instances that could be
cited to prove the necessity of scrupu-
lous cleanliness for the preservation of
health, but these will suffice. If the
warning is needed we shall be spared
the ravages of plague and pestilence.-

Winter Rye for Hay.

With such poor prospect for q hay
crop as the present dry weather holds
out, it is quite q satisfaction to see
few tons of winter rye going into the
hay mows all nicely cured. We have
repeatedly alluded to this crop as being
worthy OF far more attention than It
has received in the past, except as a
grain crop. Our experience with it,
this season, has only increased our esti-
nation of its value. The dry fall of
last year found our hay mows, like most
others in this part of the country, quite
too short for either pleasure or profit;
and after we had bought baled hay for
carrying the stock through the last few
weeks Of March and April, it was with
no small degree Of satisfaction that we
struck into q four-acrc field of winter
rye just as the heads were coming in
sight. 1t Is contrary to rules to change
cattle suddenly from dry to green feed,
but in this case the temptation was
strong to try the experiment, and as
the animals were perfectly healthy, and
were having good ration of grain each
day, the danger seemed less. The ex-
pertinent proved perfectly satisfactory,
not an animal being in the least dis.
commOded by the change.
The rye was in govd condition fol
feeding full fortnight. and, while it
saved buying hay, the milk yield was
increased, and the butter product inn
proved both in quality and quantity.
The rye grew on land that otherwise
would have lain idle from the time of
sowing till it was ct for cutting. Ex-
ccpt for the drought there would be
ample time for getting full crop of
field corn, with fertilizer on hand all
ready to spread, and if the dry weather
lasts only two or three weeks longer, a
full crop Of fodder corn or millet will
be easily secured and out of the way
for another crop Of rye for next springs
nso. DO not fail to Try q crop Of rye
Tor fodder next fall.--M Il. FaSncr.

pecting in Tar Greek Canyon, in the

make road through the snow four feet
deep. In doing 90 he came across an
immense rationale in . torpid condi-
ton. After dispatching the monster
he found that it measured seven feet in
length BY twelve and half inches in
circumference and had twenty-five rat
ties. These, which he cut OF and

venerable age Of twenty eight years,

The Origin Of Ghosts.

On the appreciation of the simple
fact that the brain is the true seat of
the senses rests the whole explanation
of the ghosts and apparitions which &C.
casionally attend the footsteps and meet
the eyes of humanity. When we are
conscious Of looking at real object, a
sensation of sight is formed in the
brain, as we have seen. Such sensa-
ton we cali an collective" one, be-
cause it is derived from q veritable OBJ
ject. So also when we hear q tune
played by person whom we see, or of
whose existence, even when unseen, we
entertain no doubt, the sensation of
sound is then called subjective"
But there are many familiar instances
in which the power of the mind to re-
produce the sensations, sights and
sounds we have received is demonstrate
ed. The day-dreamer can sometimes
bring the scenes in which he has once
taken part SO wildly before his mental
gaze, that his reverie may actually be
broken by the words which uncOn-
sciously flow from his lips as his imagi-
nation starts into bodily action. Such
apower of fancy and imagination is the
more powerful means which we possess
Of bringing before ourselves the forms
and scenes which have once been OBJ
jectively present with us. In the
dream this power is illustrated TYPICAL
" enough. From the background of
consciousness, 50 to speak. we project
forward, in our. sleep. the pictures
which busy brain is reproducing, or
it may be piecing together from the
odds and ends of its fancy to form the
ludicrous combinations we are familiar
with in the "Land Of Nod" And If
we carry the idea Of this same power
being exercised in our waking mo-
ments, to form the ghosts of science,
the explanation Of the otherwise curious
and mysterious subject of Elusive
visions win be complete. x Chambers
