Dirt and Disease.

The virtual triumph of the antiseptic
system of surgery, based as that system
is or the recognition of living contagia
as the agents of putrefaction, is of good
argury as regards the receptivity of the
public mind to new views respecting the
nature of contagia generally.
To the credit of English surgeons it
stands recorded that, guided by their
practical sagacity, they had adopted in
their hospitals measures of ~amelioration
which reduced, almost to a minimum,
the rate of mortality arising from the
'tmortiGcation' of wounds. They had
discovered the evils incident to 'fdirt :"
and, by keeping dirt far away from them,
they have saved innumerable lives, which
would undoubtedly have succumbed I'm
der conditions prevalent in many of the
hospitals of Continental Europe.
In thus acting, English surgeons were,
knew" Their knowledge, however
momentous in its practical applications,
was still empirical knowledge. That
dirt was fatal they had discovered but
why it was fatal few of them knew. AT
this point Lister came forward with a
scientific principle which rendered all
plain. Dirt was fatal, not as dirt, but
because it contained living germs which,
as Schwann was the first to prove, are
the cause of putrefaction. Lister ex.
tended the generalization of Sahwann
from dead matter to living mattsr, and
by this apparently simple step revolu.
tionized the art of surgery. He changed

Horse Sense.

The three horses connected with en-
CINE company No. II, Boston Highlands,
are handsome animals and as noted tor
their remarkable intelligence as for then
fine appearance. Under the care of the
members the horses have become very
tractable, and are obedient to the slight
est word or gesture. A few mornings
ago some evidences of their understand
ing were witnessed, and are well worth
detailing. One horse, Charlie" had
received no food since the night previ-
Gus, and, when he was given his MORN
ing's supply of oats, he began eating
with great zest, but the words Charley.
come here" spoken in a low tone from
the rear of the stable, caused him in.
stantly to stop eating his tempting break
fast, and to back from his stall and walk
to the person calling him. Each of tbs
horses did the same thing without hesi-
fancy, and at the command, go back,h
each trotted to his stall. The harnesses
were removed from the horses, and each
che was told in succession to 90 and PIT
OH his collar. The collars were placed
on end, so that the heads could go
through, and each horse walked delit-
erately across the floor and wriggled his
head into the collar without the slightest
aid. After this they poked their heads
into their brides, which were held for
them, each horse opening his mouth and
taking his bit voluntarily. The main
part of the harnesses can be hung in any
part of the room with the assurance that
at the word of command the horses will
walk to the exact spot and place them
selves in such a position that the harnesses
can be readily dropped into place. The
eudeavors of the animals to secure a po-
sition favorable to the easy adjustment
of the collars almost compel one to be-
lieve hat they are endowed with reason.

Business, Crops and Prices.

Out of 1863, 900 persons engaged in
business in the country, 1857 failed dur
ing the last six months, with aggregate
liabilities of about fifty millions of dol
lars. The liabilities amounted to about
ten millions more than in the first half
of 1881, but the increase was not enough
to indicate any unsound condition Of
business.
The proportion of failures, indeed,
was very small, and the loss by bad debts
was so slight in comparison with the
volume of business transacted and the
number of firms engaged in it, that the
last six months were really remarkable
for business health. In 1878 the number
of failures was n to every y traders.
In 1882 it was one to every 1913.
These figures, which we take from the
semi-annual circular of Messrs. r. G..
Dun & Co., show that the gloomy appre-
tensions in regard to business which
have been so widely entertained of late
were not justified by the actual condi-
ton of trade during the year. Those
statistics rather suggest mercantile
soundness, and lead us to hope that after
the comparative inaction of the summer,
and with the coming of greatly reduced
prices for food, business will be both
vast in volume and satisfactory so far as
concerns profits.
Already a very considerable share of
the wheat crop has been harvested, and
it is settled that it will be a very rich
one, probably even greater than those Of
the two years preceding 1881. All the
other grains are promising well. The
weather has favored them, and as yet
few reports of set backs to their pros
perity have come in. A harvest which
will be as a whole of extraordinary
abundance begins to be confidently ex.
pected.
That promises well for business. II
also indicates the speedy coming OF
prices for food as low as any to which
we have been accustomed in the most
| plentiful years. Even butchers meat
has already declined somewhat from the
prices of a short time ago, and wher
fall brings in the recently matured stock
it must come down to still lower figures
Cattle have been and are still selling for
more per pound, live weight, than the
dressed meat could formerly be bough'
for at a family market.
But pasturage is unusually rich thi;
year. The cattle of the West have no
been decimated by a harsh winter, anC
the reported losses of them by flooc
have probably been exaggerated. Price:

Sledging it to the North Pole.

The most north ern district of the Dan.
ish settlements In Greenland is Upper
navik, or Upernivik, whose extreme
northern trading post is Tasiusak, / n N.
latitude 70 deg. "a min., about LOO
miles due south of the pole. Of this
place it is claimed that SIT is the most
northern abode of civilized men and
women" The northern coast of Green
land has never been circumnavigated,
but it is generally believed by Arctic
navigators that it lies not far north of
the highest latitude reached by Mares in
1856, about 93 deg. north. Some
scientists still cling to the theory main
tanned by Dr.. Kane, the great Ameri-
can explorer, that between the northern
headlands of Greenland and the pole
there is an open sea. If o;-that would
set a limit to sledge expeditions. But
Mares and other explorers, who got still
nearer the pole, declare that as far as
they could see to the north all was ice.
The longest sledge-iourney in the Arctic
regions on record was made by Lieuten-
N Frederick Schwatka, U. S. A., who
in 1878 and 1879 made an overland
search for the lost records of Sir John
Franklin's expedition. His small party
was landed by o schooner heal Depot
Island, in Hudson's Bay; passed the
winter in camp on shore ; became accus-
toned to living much like the natives,
and in the spring started, with some Els
quimaux assistants, in sledges drawn by
dogs, to explore the northern and west
ern shores of King Williams Land
They were gone on this expedition elev.
en- months and twenty days, during
which time they travelled 1921 English
statute miles. 1t would, probably be a
much more serious matter to travel in
the farthest north, provided land or Ece
fields are continuous from Upernavik to
that long sought point, the North Pole.
However, there seems to be about as
much reason to expect that it will be
reached by sledges as by any Other
means. and the plan of establishing me
neurological and exploring stations in the
northern attitudes, and depending large
ly on sledge expeditions to extend oul
knowledge of the arctic regions, has beer
adopted by learned bodies, and in some
instances by the United States and othel
governments. Our government has one
such permanent station at Franklin Bay
in the northern extremity of Alaska
There is reason to believe that there viii
be a line of such stations before long
along the western coast of Greenland.

Rheumatism.

Common rheumatism is a disease
which affects the joints, the hinges of
the body, in such a way that the slight
est motion of the ailing part gives pain.
A creaking hinge is dry, and turns hard.
A single drop of oil to moisteh it makes
a wonderful change, and it instantly
moves on itself with the utmost facility.
All kinds of rheumatism are II inf1amma-
ton of the surface of the joints. In
fiammation is heat; this heat dries the
surfaces; hence the very slightest effort
at motion gives piercing pain. In a
healthy condition of the parts, Nature is
constantly throwing out a lubricating
oil, which keeps the joints in a perfectly
smooth and easy-working condition.
Rheumatism is almost always caused by
indeed, i; may be nearer the truth to
say that it IL always the result of-cold
dampness. A dry cold or a warm damp
ness does not induce rheumatism. A
garment wetted by perspiration or rain,
or water in any other form, about a
Joint, and allowed to dry while the per-
son is in a state of rest, is the most COM
mon way of causing rheumatism. A
partial wetting of a garment is more apt
to induce an attack than if the entire
| clothing were wetted, because, in the
latter case, it would be certainly and
| speedily exchanged for dry garments.
There are two very certain methods of
preventing rheumatism. The very mo-
ment 4 garment is wetted in whole or in
part, change it, or keep in motion suffi,
Gent to maintain a very slight perspira-
ton. until the clothing is perfectly dried.
The failure to wear wooden flannel next
to the skin is the most frequent canse Of
rheumatism; for, a common muslin /;
linen or silk shirt of a person in u per-
spiration becomes damp and cold the
instant a puff of air strikes it. even in
midsummer. This is not the case when
wooden flannel is worn next the skin.
The easiest, most certain and least
hurtful way of curing this troublesome
affection is, first, to keep the joint af-
fected wound around with several folds
of wooden flannel; second, live entirely
on the lightest kind of food, such as
coarse breads, ripe fruits, berries, boiled
turnips, stewed apples and the like. II
such things were eaten to the extent OF
keeping the system freely open, and TX
ercise were taken, SO that slight
moisture should be on the surface of the
skin all the time; or if in bed, the same
thing were accomplished by hot teas and
plentiful b~ed-clothing, a grateful RELIEF
and an ultimate cure would very certain.
ly result in a reasonably short time.
Without this soft and moist and warm
condition of the skin, and an open state
of the system, the disease will continue
to torture for weeks and months anG
years. Inflammatory rheumatism may,
for all practical purposes, be regarded
as an aggravated form of the common
kind, extended to all the joints Of the
body, instead of duplicating only one OIL
two. For all kinds, time, flannel
warmth, with a ligb: and cooling diet
are great remedies.-.Halps Journal Of
