lot of old papers in the gripsack.-
When the strangers ring was answered
he INDUCED i'll bows, scrapes and
smiles, and announced his readiness

until he could transact some very i'm

"Yes, we keep boarders, but-well,

"Well, Sherman and I sleep in the

for being out all night. We are al
ways out straw berrying together

a line to General Sherman and ask him
if he knows Judge Collins?"
She seemed to study over the mat
ter, and presently he continued:
MAYBE that would be too much
trouble. Do you know the Mayor Of
} Buffalo?"
"No."
"Sorry-very sorry, because it
wouldn't take ten minutes to telegraph
him. We rent the same pew in church,
and our wives look like twin sisters.
Nice man he is, and can imagine how
he would look if some one was to ask
him if Judge Collins was all right,
Perhaps you know the Governor OF
Indiana"
She seemed ashamed to confess that
she didn't.
Really, don't you know him?" he
went on. How unfortunate, as am

Ignorance a Cause of Disease.

The more thoroughly the causes of
disease are understood, the more and
more they are found traceable to vio-
lation of the hygienic laws. If the raw
ages of cholera, of yellow fever and ty-
phoid may be controlled in a great
measure by the observance of such
laws why may not scarlet fever, measles
and whooping cough-these scourges of
infant life-be prevented, or very much
limited? The prevailing sentiment
that all children must necessarily have
these diseases once, finds no support in
the nature of physiology or in the prin-
ciples of hygiene The fact is already
well established that the spread and vi
olence of scarlet fever, by isolation,
cleanliness and ventilation, are very
much modified, and, in some instances,
entirely prevented. Z We believe the
time will come when measles, scarlet
fever and whooping cough, which now
destroy such multitudes of children,
Will become, in a measure, things of
the past. 1t is not only the great
amount of sickness and mortality oc-
casioned directly by these diseases, but
the impaired constitutions and other
complaints consequent upon them, that
may also be prevented. When the
community realizes fully that the means
of preserving health especially in early
life, are placed, in great measure, in
its own hands, far higher estimate
will be placed upon value of human life,
and the responsibility for its preserva-
ton will be found to depend in a great
measure upon human efforts.
