Dwellings which have long remained
empty may become fever breeders when
reOccupied. It is asserted by an English
sanitarian that typhoid, diptheric and
other zymotic affections have been
found to arise under these circumstan-
ces. The cause is supposed to lie in the
disuse of cisterns, pipes and drains, pu-
trefactive processes going on in the i'm
pure air they contain, while this foul air
gradually permeates the entire house.
Persons moving from the city to their
country homes for the summer should
see that the drains and pipes are in per-
feet order, that the cellars and cisterns
are cleared of rubbish,
and the whole house thor
oughly aired before being occupied.
carbolic acid freely used in the cellar is
a cheap and effective iisinfectant.
1t was estimated in a recent lecture
chat sixty tons of SCOT are daily sent H.
to the air by the chin,neys of Sheffield.
The opinion is rapidly gaining ground
in England that the way to avoid smoke
is to burn the solid and gaseous constit- +!
aents Of the fuel separately.

over The country. According to him
the rivers will overflow their banks, the
back waters Will come up to meet them,
and the land lie given over to frogs and
alligators. This prophet bases his prog
nostics upon the melting Of SHOWS ut

which is already covering the land here.
But it should be remembered that
though spring is near at hand for lis in
Louisiana it is midwin;er at the North,
and no likelihood Of thaw for long
time to come.
moderately dry February will give
the water time to recede or be absorbed.
and March may find us in as good con-
dition to meet the floods ,.sany previous
March. There is no use in anticipating
disaster. If we lived on river, it ould
