CAUSES OF TYPHOID FEVER.

a severe outbreak of typhoid fever
which occurred last year At Nahant, 4
rocky peninsula near Boston, inhabited
during the summer by small number
of rich cottage owners, was followed by
an investigation, Of which the results
are made public in an article by Mr.. T..
W. Bowditch, in the Boston 4NcGfdi
ami Surgical Journal. In such cases
contamination OF drinking-waier is usu-
ally the principal cause Of the spread OF
the disease, and the cisterns which sup
ply the houses were first examined
Water was taken from one hundred and
ninety of these and annalized. Eight
OF these were pronounced excellent,
and seventy-one others permissible"
or "good." One hundred and eleven
were classed as suspicious" every sus.
picious" or "bad." About eighty cases
OF fever occurred, nearly all OF which
could be accounted for by the actual
condition OF the drinking water used in
the houses inhabited by the PATIENTS
In 4 few Others the filthy surroundings
furnished 4 probable source of infection,
although the water was pure, as in one
instance, where analysis failed TO detect
any serious pollution in water taken
from 4 well situated within ten feet of
one teaching cesspool and fifteen feet of
another, both overtlowing, and OF course
ready TO furnish an occasional supply TO
the well during dry seasons or under
other circumstances. One or two more
were probably explained by the fact that
the ice used in the household was brought
from foul pond in the vicinity and
only one appeared to be quite inexpli-
cable, unless perhaps the infection might
have been brought by milk contained in
cans which had been rinsed in foul wa
ter. Mr.. Bowditch's suspicion, that the
infection was communicated in certain
cases by contaminated ice, is strength
ened by the fact that very severe and
fatal epidemic of typhoid fever was un-
questionably caused in this way not long
ago at the sea.shorc hotels in New Eng
land and it is worth asking whether
the public authority might not be en-
ployed with advantage in exercising
some sort of surveillance over the col
lection and sale OF an article which may
become, and perhaps already is, far
more dangerous than the trichinous pork
or immature veal against which so many
precautions are taken. In one place
that we know OF, says the Am0ifd1
Ayrhilrcf, thousands Of tons Of ice, are
annually gathered at the very edge OF
an extensive and well filed cemetery
which sloped somewhat rapidly toward
the water; and we have seen the winter
product of little pool formed by the
overflow of what was practically the
drain of cluster of squalid houses reg
ularly sold to customers.

LITERAL ANS wERS.

Literal answers are sometimes quite
witty.
"will you kindly put my fork into a
potato ?" asked young lady Of her ia
bic neighbor.
"With pleasure, he responded; and
piercing the potato. coolly left the fork
extended from it.
Again, We hear Of very polite and
impressive gentleman who said to a
youth in the street:
"Boy, may inquire where Robin
sons drug store is ?"
Certainly, sir" replied the boy,
very respectfully.
"Wcll, sir" said the gentleman, after
waiting awhile, "whcre is it?"
Il have not the least iGea," said the
urchin.
There was another boy who was stop
ped by a middlc-aged lady with:
"Boy, | want TO go to D. street."
"well, madam" said the boy, "why
don't you so, then?"
Sometimes this wit degenerates into
punning, as when Flora pointed pen
sivcly TO the heavy masses Of clouds in
the sky, saying:
al wonder where those clouds are go.

AGRICULTURE,

How TO STOP RUNAWAY HORSE. .--Sev.
eral years ago I attended lecture given
by Raroy, tho celebrated horse-tralner, In
the course Of which he claimed that any
runaway horse could be controlled with a
knowledge of the proper treatment, and
what learned from him has served me on
more than one occasion during tho many
years have driven around New York.
Rareys directions were as follows: First,
to know that the harness is all right, and
that the bit and lines are OF proper strength
never to drive with slack rein, and always
10 keep the feet untramh4eled, ready for
any emergency; second, as soon as you
find that the horse Is running away, with
all the power of the right arm jerk the
horse head to the side of the neck, at the
same time springing to the left of the We
hicle ready to Jump. AS soon as done
Immediately jerk the horee's head to the
left side Of the neck and change your po-
sit,on to the opposite side Of the carriage.
Repeating this with all ones strength and
as quickly as possible, the horse must stop
his speed. Under this treatment it Is lm.
possible for him to proceed, but 1t must
be done quickly, 80 as not to allow the
horse to stralghten his position or to turn
around. have peen run away with sew.
eral times, and have always tried Rarcy's
plan with success.
