Cesspool Fever.

This is the fever that wrought so much
mischief in one of the Washington hotels
q few years ago. 1t is said by good
medical authorities TO be fatal to many
persons every year in New York. The
fever is not severe. There is but little
headache and no pain or tenderness in
the abdomen, as in the ease of typhoid
fever Still the tongue is covered with
white fur and the appetite is bad. Its
chief characteristic is diarrhGa, acute in
some eases, but more generally chronic
and lasting months, or even years. The
patien, dies Of simple exhaustion.
The disease is found wherever the con-
tents Of cesspools and out-houses find
their way into the drinking water, or
their cmanations into the air Of sleeping
rooms. 1t is quite apt to prevail at our
summer health-resortS, the ignorance OF
proprictors more than neutralizing the
abundant HYGIENE provisions Of nature.
Cases occur even among the White
Mountains and at our most famous wa
tering-places. At Martha's Vineyard,
last year, friend stopped at one OF the
llOHl dCNClAlhlN lbhNNN va WV AF'"iANa'
He states that two of the guests were
suddenly seized with summer sickness
soon after their arrival. 1t was found
on examination that the privy and the
well were only twenty feet apart, and
the well was quite a deep one, The
contaminated water was probably the
cause of the sickness.
The son of physician was taken with
the disease in virulent form at board
ing-school, and died on the third day af-
ter his father was summoned. The
young mans room was large and high,
and every thing about it seemed favora-
BILE to health. But it was found that
one of the windows opened into the ves-
thule of water-closet, used by from
seventy to one hundred persons, its only
ventilation being through pipe about
six inches in diameter, which emptied
into the chimney of the young man 5
room. He was undoubtedly poisoned
and killed by the foul air.

Hired Girls,

If country girls who mediate a career
in the city would turn their attention TO
domestic service, instead of thronging
the stores and workshops, mistress and
maid would be mutually benefited. 1t
is an employment that's healthier, more
respectable and better paid, than that of
factory or shop girls, and. | believe |
may truly add, more profitable than
dress or bonnet making or any sort of
sewing, and to my mind, quite as re-
spectacle. honor all workers who do
their work well, no matter what it may
be, save that it is honest, useful work.
And so does everybody whose respect
and esteem are worth having. If there
is any reason why "hrcd girls" are inn
bued with the idea that their occupation
is regarded as very inferior, it is solely
because they have been so outrageously
ignorant, unskilled, and unfit for the po-
sition. Having occasion to employ a
maid to do very light work, | advertised
for one, promising but two dollas a
week, but "a good home and kind treat
mentn There came upward of forty
applicants for the situation, and among
the number were several shop girls, |
remember one in particular; she was n
very nice-looking young woman who
had been clerk for several years in y
dry goods house at a salary six dollars

consumed all her earnings, that she
lived shabbily in clearinghouse, that
she had not really good society, and that
being so much on her feet and often
times in an impure atmosphere, waskill-
Ing her. She was heartily tired of it,and
looked forward to a quiet home, in u
quiet family, with great sense of relief.
Then, too, in such n position she would
have no expenses but for her dress, and
at the most she could put half her earn
ings every year in the bank. Employers

tic service is the best paid, comparative
