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 man
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 case of typhoid
fever. Still the tongue is covered with
n white fur, and the appetite is bad. Its
chief characteristic is diarrhea, acute in
some cases, but more generally chronic
and lasting months, or even years. The
patient dies of simple exhaustion.
The disease is found wherever the COLI
tents of cesspools and out-houses find
their way into the drinking water, or
their em~anations into the air Of sleeping
rooms. 1t is quite apt to prevail at our
summer health-resorts, the ignorance of
proprietors more than neutralizing the
abundant hygienic provisions of nature.
Cases occur even among the White
Mountains and at our most famous wa
tering-places. At Martha's Vineyard,
last year, y friend stopped at one of the
most acceptable houses on the island.
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
aus of the sickness.
The son of a physician was taken with
the disease in q virulent form at a board
i~ng-school, and died on the third day af-
ter hr .ither was summoned. The
young M-,:'s was large and high,
and every thing about it seemed favora-
bic to health. But it was found that
one Of the windows opened into the YES
thule of q water-closet, used by from
seventy to one hundred persons, its only
ventilation being through a pipe about
six inches in diameter, which emptied
into the chimney of the young mans
room. He was undoubtedly poisoned
and killed by the foul air.

Level Headed Oscar.

Who is this man with the long, thin
legs, the STOPPING shoulders and the
yellow, flowing hair? His name is
Oscar Wilde. One day when the super
intendent of q lunatic asylum was on a
hunting expedition in London he picked
up Oscar and took him before a mag
istrate who asked him his name.

cannot tell you" answered the prisoner.
Mamma would not like it."
From that momcnthe became famous.
For breakfast he sips the dew from
Eo~neysuckles, and his dinner consists
of roast lily bugs favored with lavender
water. Half a dozen sachet bags and
ten trunks constitute his baggage. The
trunks contain locks of hair which he
purchased cheap at a Surrey rope walk.

That Second Hand Book.

A week or two ago a bright and chatty
young woman called at a house on Cass
e and ~endeavored to make a sale
Of 3 book entitled Home and Mother"
The lady of the house received her in
the usual ten degrees below fashion and,
utterly refusing to look at the book,
she said:
81 haven't any money, and I know
that my husband wouldn't pay for it"
at is a book highly spoken of by the
press.n
yes, 1 know, but my husband is
queer"
And you see the superior style of

THAT would be useless. He wouldn't
even look at it, and he hates female

doesn't even treat them ciyilly when
they call at his Office"
rs that SOP" unused the girl, and when
she left the house, she for some reason
or other startad right down town.
The lady of the house might have for
gotten the incident in five or six years
but for a sort of climax. When her hus-
band came up to dinner he handed her
a copy of Home and Mother" with
the remark:
Happened to see it as 1 passed .

perhaps you'd like it,"

discouraged, sold QUITO the secondhand
dealer and skipped the city. Is dinner

Dinner was ready, but somehow the
wife had no appetite, and since that she
has fits of abstraction, glances suspic-
iously around Mt times, and has been
seen going in and coming out of second
hand book-storcs.-Dctroi Free Press.

Never Mind the Butcher.

It was during the peninsula campaign
just before the battle Of Williamsburg,
the commanding officer had issued an
order %forbidding foraging under penalty
of severe punishment. A section of
artillery had been supported by the
Fifty-sixth New York Volunteer Infant
ry in a little skirmish late in the even
ing, and, owing to some misundcrstand-
ing, the infantry and artillery were left
on picket line till a late hour without
any rations. Darkness had closed in,
and a farm-yard in the vicinity offered
too great a temptation for the hungry
a~rtillerymen to resist.
Soon the fragrant aroma of roast pig
drew more than one officer to the vicini-
ty of the ~improviscd barbecue. Among
others. was Colonel Van Wyck. the SEN
Tor officer in command. He was asked
by one OF the improviSed camp cooks if
he would partake OF the emu Ger
tainly," replied the colonel; and with
sharpened appetite, he atonce took hold
of the luscious roast porcine ribs. Sud
denly a staff officer rode upon the scene
With an unmistakable French twang,
he said: with de compliments of de
general commanding, l wish 10 know
who kilt dis roast hog?"
Tell the general commanding, roar
cd Colonel Van Wyck, stretching his
tall form to its utmost altitude, ''that
Colonel Van Wyck never inquiries who
the butcher is when he sits down to 8

further inquiry was ever instituted into

The late Rev. S. Hanson Cox, d. D.,
of New York, had a mind SO well stored
that it was said of him, "He needs but
to turn the spigot at o moments no
tice, and a stream of learning and in
formation on any subject will instantly
fiow." DIR. Cuyler relates one remarka-
BILE instance. He says:
Something very like a meteoric show
er it was when We were assembled in
the Academy of Music to receive the
astronomer, Prof. Mitchell, and listen
to him on behalf Of a projected obserya-
tory in Central Park. The house was
filed with the most brilliant, intelligent,
scientific and cultivated audience.
Word was brought that sudden illness
prevented the eloquent astronomers from
leaving his bed. The word was sent to
me by the professor, and in despair /
went to DIR. Cox, on the stage, told him
the distressing truth, and implored him
TO come to the rescue, or the occasion
would be lost.
The assembly Joined in the request,
he complied, and when the applause, on
his rising, had subsidized, he said,-
"To put me in the place of such q
mar as Prof. Mitchell is like putting 4
rushight in the place of Ursa Major"
And then he proceeded to deliver q
strictly astronomical discourse of three
quarters of an hour, that electrified the
assembly; every illustration and allus-
ion of which, including many Scripture
quotations, were drawn from the
science itself, as if it were the study of
his life, his only study. Not one man
in ten thousand would have been found
equal to such an effort in such circum.
stances.

Photographic Life Histories,

The family bibles of past generations
served as registers of family events.
Births, illnesses, marriages, and deaths
were %chronicled on their fly-leaves, and
those ponderous books fulfilled an inn
portant function in this incidental way.
But they are now becoming generally
replaced by more handy volumes, and
the family register is disappearing with
the old family bible. In tho meantime
photography has been discovered, and
has sprung into universal use, and the
hereditary value of what are called life
histories is becoming continually more
appreciated. 1t seems, then, to be an
appropriate time to advocate the estab-
lishment of a new form of family regis.
ter that shall contain all these notices
that were formerly entered in the family
bible, and much moro besidcs-namely,
a series Of Photographic studies of this
features from childhood upward, togeth-
er with facts that shall afford as COM
plete a life-history as is consistent with
brevity. What is desired is something
of this sort. In each substantial family
we should fiRd a thin quarto volume,
solidly bound, having leaves of stout pa
per. on which photographs may be
mounted. Each pair of opposite pages
"ouiu NC neaue ny the name OF some
membe of the family. A double row
of photographs would run down the side
of each page, each about half as large
again as a postage stamp, the one con
tanning n medallion of the full face, and
the o'her n of the profile. Opposite
to each of these the events of the cor
responding period would be chronicled.
Every opening of the book would con-
tain the photographs and events of
aoout ten periods, five to each page, and
would include from ten to twenty years
OF ife-history.-Francis Cation IN Fort

Abraham Holt, eleven years of age,
encountered a wildcat while strolling
through the woods in Sarnia Township,
accompanied by u little dog. The ami
NAL was discovered c%rouching in the
fork of a tree about twelve feet from the
ground. Under the impression that it
was an enormous black squirrel, he
threw a stick at it, which caused it to
spring from its elevated perch and land
squarely on the lads breast. The dog
then sprang at the cat, causing it to let
go its grip on the boy and fight the dog.
The lad fortunately carried a large stick,
which, by the time the cat had driven
off the dog and again turned to attack
him, he had recovered presence of mind
enough to use with vigor. For the next
few minutes it was a triangular strug-
gle, in which the cat fought desperately
with the boy and dog, until at last a
well-aimed blow from the boys stick on
the side of the savage brute's head
ended its struggles. On examination, the
cat proved to be of a variety not recog-
nized by any who inspected it as com
mon 10 the locality. 1t measured about
thirty inches in length. the fur being
black and sprinkled with white hairs,
and had a long, bushy tail-1Rc Port

The st. Gothard tunnel is now daily
,traversed by eight trains, four each
way. Touching solidity of construction,
the tunnel leaves nothing to be desired.
The official inspectors express them
selves perfectly satisfied with the condi-
ton of the work. Particular attention
was paid to the windy stretch, which
has caused so much trouble and given
rise to SO many fears, but the massive
granite masonry with which this part of
the passage is stayed seems admirably
adapted to its purpose, and shows no
sign of yielding to the immense pressure
that weighs upon it The ventilation is
good, and no Inconvenience was expert
enced from the temperature. The tun-
mel is lighted with lamps placed q kilo-
metre apart.

Hired Girls,

If country girls who mediate n 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 thatof
factory or shop girls, and l believe 1
may truly add, more profitable than
dress oil 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 ''hired girls are i'm
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 q
maid to do very light work, l advertised
for one, promising but two dollars a
week, but ga good home and kind treat
ment." There zane upward of forty
applicants for the situation, and among
the number were several shop girls. l
remember one in particular; she was a
very ~nice-looking young who
had been a clerk for several years in a
dry goods house at a salary Of six dollars
q week. She found that her expenses
consumed all her earnings, that she
lived shabbily in n clearinghouse, that
she had not really good society, and that
being so much on her feet and often
times in an impure atmosphere, was kill
ing her. She was heartily tired Of it, and
looked forward to q quiet home, in q
quiet family, with a greatsense of relief.
Then, too, in such a 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
know, if employees do not, that domes-
tic service is the best paid, comparative
ly, of any sort Of work, and it is a mat
ter of wonder, as well as of surprise,
that so few American girls fit themselves
for such work. All occupations have
their unpleasant features. and those in
household service are often overmatched
by the disagreeable incident to any kind
OF untried business.

The yield of amber cane in the north
ern states will not average over 10 to II
tons per acre. A Louisiana planter re-
ports of the yield of six leading planta-
tons in Louisiana for the year 1879,
that the number of tons OF cane per acre
varied from II to 20, averaging q little
over 10. The number of pounds Of
sugar made from a ton of zane varied
from 80 to 122, averaging a little over
100. The average was over 1000 pounds
of sugar per acre, besides the molasses.
In dry Egypt, the q n averages % tons
per acre; in Brazil, 25 to so tons per
acre; in Cuba, so to IS tons per acre. in
Barbados, Sc ton per acre. Two tons
of sugar per acre is q common produc-
ton in the tropics. In many regions
the production is much more than that.

And were on our way to Grandma'sg'
The snowballs hy-now here, now there;
They do not hurt, SO we do not care;
And the laugh is long, and the laugh is loud
there never was such a Jolly crowd.
And faster and faster the horses run,
As II they really enjoyed the fun, =.
While the bells GO Jingle, Jingle, too,

Reacued from Death.

The following statement Of William
j. Coughlin, of Somerville, Mass, Is so
remarkable that we beg to ask for 1t
the attention of our readers. He says:
I'm the fall OF 1876 l was taken with
a violent bleeding Of the lungs, followed
by a severe cough. L soon began to
lose my appetite and flesh. l was so
weak at one time that l could not leave
bed. In the summer Of 1877 / was
admitted to the city hospital. While
there the doctors said 1 had a hole in
my left lung as big as a half dollar. l
expended over a hundred dollars In
doctors and medicines. L was so far
gone at one time a report went around
that l was dead. / gave up hope, but
a friend told me Of DR.. VIM. Halls
Balsam for the Lungs. 1 laughed at
my friends, thinking that my case was
incurable, but l got a bottle to satisfy
them, when to my surprise and gratifi-
cation, / commenced to feel better.
My hope, once dead, began TO revive,
and to-day l feel in better spirits than
l have the past three years.
81 write this hoping you will publish
it, 80 that every one afflicted with Dis
eased Lungs will be induced to take
DR.. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs,
and be convinced that Consumption
can be cured. l have taken two bot
ties, and can positively ray that it has
done more good than all the other
medicines l have taken since my sick
ness. Ny cough has almost entirely
disappeared, and l shall soon be able to
go to work" Sold by druggists.
