SPREADING DIPHTHERIA.-It is not alone
by the breathing of infected air that diph-
liberia may be communicated from child to
child at school. Indeed, those who deny
that the air is often or ever medium of
communication of the disease, and who are
at all familiar with the thoughtless ways
of little children at school, must yet recog.
nize that the possible means of communi-
cation by almost direct contact are many.
Who has not seen schoolboy with his
mouth full of marbles just taken from a
mate? Children often borrow lead pen
ellis, which by instinct they wet in their
mouth; they borrow sponges from one
another to wipe their states. which they
moisten with saliva. In so democratic a
community as primary school room it is
very common thing for all the children
of the room to drink from the same cup
their clothes commonly hang in close con.
tact in closets and ante-rooms. They
manifest their likes and dislikes by biting
or refusing to bite from the same apple
and little girls often pledge eternal friend

gum" Though these things may occur
outside the school, they are the more fire.

THE ART OF GRINDING TOOLS.

There seems to be great number Of
wofkmen who pay not the slightest regard
IS to how tool should be ground to do
good service. A hasty examination OF some
Of the tools, as they lie on the lathe-board,
will convince the intelligent workman of
this fact, that many tools are carried to the
grindstone to be ground, but from want of
knowledge of the art of properly grinding
the tool are brought back unimproved,
and one by one placed in the tool.
post, ready to wrestle with the article
to be operated upon, and the
the combativeness of the tool Now and
then the belt slips from sheer exhaustion.
How often this happens in the workshops
need rot be told to the mechanic who,
often out of pure sympathy for the opera
tor, now and then gives him few points
in grinding tool, so that it will
not require more than one.tenth the
power to properly do the work. More
than one-half of all the wear and tear
and breakage, and bother of dull
tools, comes from a lack of proper
knowledge and practice in grinding.
All steel, however, highly refined, is
composed of individual fibers, laid length
wise in the bar, and held firmly together
by cohesion. In almost all forms of cut
ting implements, the steel portion which
forms the edge is laid in and welded to the
iron longitudinally, so that it is the side of
the bundle of fbers, hammered and ground
down, that forms the edge. Hence, by hold
ing on the grindstoue all edged tools, as
axes, drawing knives, knives of reapers,
scythes, knives of straw.cutters, or tools
in general use by mechanics and workmen,
in such a manner that the action of the
stone is at right angles with the
plane of the edge, or, in palmer words,
by holding the edge of the tool across the
stone, the direction of the fibers will be
changed so as to present the ends instead
of the side, as the cutting edge. By grind
ing in this manner, a finer edge is set, the
tool is ground in less time, holds an edge a
great deal longer, and far less liable to nick
out and break. A little practice in grind.
ing, with knowledge of what the tool
has to do, will in due time reduce the
number of ugly looking tools SO often found
in the workshop. E. Simonds, in

GOT TO GET A CERTIFICATE.

Andrew Jackson Davis, long haired
reformer of New York, is trying to get a
law passed that will raise the very old
Harry. He, with other lunatics, memoir
allies the Legislature to prevent the con.
tinuance of 1.-THE present unscientifc and
vicious system by which any two of the
opposite sex, however ignorant, or however
diseased, and however incapacitated for
the responsibilities of parentage, may OBJ
tain the sanction of priest or squire to
consummate what should be deemed the
most holy and delicate of all relations
known to human nature" Then they ask
the Legislature to provide for the appoint.
ment of Board of Commissioners Of Hy.
giene, Morality and Benefcence, to consist
Of an equal number of officially and med.
ically educated men and women, who shall
have power to investigate the antecedents
of the individual, and shall examine the
present condition, physical and mental, Of
each candidate for matrimonY. Without
certificate from such board no one is to
be permitted to marry. Well, such law
as that would depopulate New York of all
except married people in five years. There
is not one manageable couple out of five
hundred that would go before board to
be examined to see whether they knew
enough to get married. Don't people who
have spanked and been spanked know
whether they are competent to marry as
well as board composed of old back num-
bers, who sit around asking conundrums :
Such board could be bribed to furnish a
diploma to parties that were incompetent
as well as our boards of medical officers
are bribed to give certificates to pork
packers to practice surgery. No refined
woman would want to go before board
and answer questions as to whether she
had ever had the mumps, or worms, or
what she would give to child that kicked
up row in the night, besides spanking.
You couldn't get a bashful young man to
90 before the board and tell whether he
had ever been exposed to matrimony be-
fore, and whether he thought he knew
enough to get married without the assist.
ance of guardian. No, when people are
ready to get married, no board of hygienic
sharps can tell them anything. They know
it all. 1t would kill them dead to 90 be-
fore Supreme Court and have their cases
sat on by Coroner's jury to see if they
were compos m,entis. They would put off
getting married till it was everlastingly
too late, before they would submit to such
interference, or get married in defiance of
law and after they had got settled ask the
board what it was going to do about it..
There are some people, of course, who
should be dubbed for thinking of getting
married, but take it on an average and the
marrying we get nowadays averages
pretty well. and it is best to let well
enough alone. Peck's Sun.

TEE moaoIoeuK OF DEATH.

Miscall me not! Men have miscalled me much;
Have given harsh names and harsher thoughts to me,
Reviled and eviy entreated me,
Built me strange temples unknown God
Then called me idol, devil, unclean thing,
And rude insult bowed my godhead down.
Miscall me not for men have married my form,
And In the earth-born grossness of their thought
Have coldly modelled me of their own clay,
Then fear to look on that themselves have made,
Miscs-l me not ] ye know not what am.
But we shall see me face to face, and know.
l take all sorrows from the sorrowfuI,
And teach the joyful what it is to joy;
/ gather in my land-locked hsrbors clasp
The shattered vessels OF vexed world
And even the tiniest ripple from Life
L. to my sublime calm, as tropic Storm
When other leechcraft fails the breaking brain,
|, only, own the anodyne to still
Its eddies into yisionless repose:
The face. distorted with Lies latest pang,
l smooth, in passing, with an angelwing;
And from beneath the quiet eyelids steal
The hidden glory of the eyes, to give
A new and nobler beauty to the rest.
Belle me not the plaques that walk the Earth,
The wasting pain, the sudden agony,
Famine and War, and Pestilence, and all
The terrors that have darkened round my name
These are the plaques of Lie-they are not mine;
Vex while tarry, vanish when come,
Instantly melting into perfect peace,
AS at His word, whose Master.splrit am,
The troubled waters slept on Galilee.
When withdraw the veil which hides my face,
So melt l. with look, the iron bonds
OF the souls gaoler, hard Mortality.
Gently-so gently-like tired child
Will enfold thee; but thou canst not look
Upon my face, and stay In the busy haunts
OF human life-in the temple and the street,
And when the blood runs fullest in the veins
Unseen, undreamed of, am often by,
Divided from the giant in his strength
But by the thickness of this misty veil.
Tender 1 am, not cruel; when take
The shape most hard to human eyes, and pluck
The little baby blossom yet unknown,
'Tis hut to graft it on kindlier stem,
And leapng DER the perilous years OF growth,
Unswept of sorrow, and unscathed OF wrong,
Clothe it at once with rich maturity.
It's that give soul to Memory;
For round the follies of the bad throw
The mantle of kind forgetfulness;
While canonized in dear Loves calendar,
senctify the good for evermore.
Miscal me not my generous fullness lends
Home to the homeless to the friendess, friends
To the starved babe, the mothers tender breast;
Wealth to the poor, and to the restess-Rest.

sLAvE-HUNTERs IN OHIO.

The unselishness of the pioneers of
Oberlin in this work of helping slaves is
shown by the fact that they never received
any compensation for their services, al.
though often struggling against stern pow
erty themselves. Their DISTINGUISHED la
bors of love were also sometimes appreci-
ated by those whom they would help.
Once Mr.. Munger had kept in his house

boarding them and caring for them mean
while. For this assistance the latter had
returned no service to their benefactors.
One Monday Mrs. Munger was unwell,
and Mr.. M. ventured to ask the fugitive
if his wife would not assist some in the
washing.
"Well," said the man, thoughtfully
stroking his beard, Eyes, think perhaps
she might, if you would pay her 30 cents.
This was an actual occurrence. Usually,
however, the gratitude of the fugitives
toward their saviors knew no bounds.
Various devices were adopted to detain
the slave hunters and gain time for escap-
ing negroes. Once a gang of slave-hunters
came up South Main street in search of
slaves who were at the time being trans
ferred to place of safety. The students
heard of the matter, and came from their
recitation rooms to the number of 200,
books in hand, to place where the slave
hunters must pass. The latter approached
cautiously, expecting mob. Imagine
their surprise at being addressed by one
and another on various topics of interest
They were in hurry, however, and tried
to press on, but the students, effectually
hlockipp the wav continued to talk anna
bly,. With various excuses, and converse
ton all the while which was most obse-
quiously courteous, they managed to de-
tain the infuriated Southerners for several
hours.
At another time shareholders arrived in
town about dusk. Observing them, the
students appointed large deputation to
look after their comfort while in town.
All that night the shareholders were fol-
lowed about by body of students, who
kept up an animated conversation all the
time, feeling that they were in duty bound
to entertain their visitors to the best of
their ability. At dawn the leader ex-
claimed with an oath:
"Don't these COMPOUNDED Oberlin people
ever Sleep"
And the company left town in discour-
agement, never to return.
A party of students once BACKED their
faces and led the shareholders long chase
toward Brownhelm. Overtaken at length,
they made for brook, and when their
pursuers came up astonishsd them by
bathing in the water and 10 and behold

pudding or jelly, and it is sufficient nour-

pudding or jelly, and it is sufficient nour-
ishment for those who should not give their
digestive organs too much work in the
evening. Coffee should not be taken in
the evening a cup of black tea, not too
strong, or cup of thin cocoa, are more to
be recommended. Raw fruit should not be
eaten late, nor salad or shellfish, or pie, or
all these things, that may be demolished
by strong stomach, but would render a
weak one very uncomfortable. He who
lies down with an overloaded digestion
will render his whole system SO plethoric
that he is in danger of seriously damaging
his health. 1t is not only the immediate
suffering that has to be thought of, but the
weakened condition of health which is
brought about by it. The suggestions
which have been given for the various
meals can only indicate the course to be
pursued; the great principles that must
always be had in view are
|. A weak digestion suffers mostly from
want of power in the secretions of the
stomach and liver.
2. To overcome this difficulty, nothing
must be taken with a hard, fiber or of a
greasy nature.
8. Cold food must be avoided as much
as possible, as it chills the temperature OF
the stomach.
4. Meals must never be excessive in
bulk, but be moderate.
5. 1t is not advisable ever to allow toe
much time to elapse between meals, but
best to take them at such intervals that
the system shall not become exhausted.
1t is even beneficial to take slight snack
rather than allow any faintness, as the
heart is often weak where the digestive or.
gans are not strong.
g. 1t is a positive rule never to overta1
the stomach before taking rest, at whatever
time it may be.
Now that we have considered the plain
matter of eating where the digestive pow
ers are at fault, we will go a step further,
and consider those remedies which may
assist in the flow of the secretions without
iniuring health, and which can be taker
with safety. Unfortunately, mans digest
i've organs have become SO weakened thai
but too many remedies exist which are tt

I've cowed the preacher with my wrath,

I've spilled both brief and sermon;
And books and socks and cards and strings
Too numerous to mention
And babies clothes and women's things,

quent and small meals are better for del
icate digestion than few and large meals,
and must therefore recommend that no
long interval be allowed to elapse before
the last meal of the day be taken. That
meal should be a satisfactory one, and not

iect could not be reached. So tender is the
organism that has to depend on these meals
that any deviation from the necessary rule

for the evening meal than fish cooked in no
