THE PRESIDENTS HOLIDAY.

Garfield expects to leave here to-
morrow and return TO business at
Washington, but ho will come back
again after awhile He has enjoyed
this brief holiday very much, and will
60 away improved. There was no one
who needed the restoration more.
Garfield doesn't look as ho did little
more than year ago when at the
Chicago Convention, but he has seen
a great deal of trouble since then and
has a great deal more to see before he
gets through with bis experience as
the Chief Magistrate. He told one Of
the Pennsylvania editors who were
here during the week that he should
suppose editing country newspaper
would afford more fun and be far cas-
Ter than serving us President. Tn.
doubtedly Garfield is right, but there
were some Of the Pennsylvania editors
who would have traded places with
him. J. II. L.

Is Consumption Contagious 2

Ii is surprising 10 some American visitor.
TO European hospitals to find that consump-
tive patients are kept in department by
themselves, while the same care for separa-
ton is not exhibited in regard to diseases
deemed more contagious on this side Of the
ocean. Yet the conviction that pulmonary
diseases are infectious is gaining strength
among American physicians, and it is note
worthy fact that the fathers Of medicine,
Hippocrates and Galen, inclined strongly TO
that opinion. The same belief has been en-
tertained all along by many prominent
psychologists and anatomists. Consumption
often arises from the eating Of the meat OF
animals with diseased lungs, and actual ex-
pertinent has shown that where different
animals have been fed on the diseased lungs
Of COW they have been attacked by pull
monary disease. A rigid supervision of all
meats sold and thorough system Of ven-
tilation in houses, and especially in hospi-
tails where consumptiyes are treated, seem to
be the best preventiyes against the acquire
ment and communication of this malady.

PUTRIDITy IN WELLS AND CIsTEESs.-
Wells and cisterns will become foul simply
from stagnation. A well in which an ordi-
nary pump is used is liable to get foul from
an insufficient agitation of the water. In
such case take out the box pump and in
,ert chain pump; work it two or three
hours and the water will become sweet
provided the well is not foul from Other
causes. A cistern foul from stagnation
may be made sweet by thoroughly stirring
the water with long pole.
