REV. ROBERT CoLLyER of New York in
his last Sundays sermon at the Church
of the Messiah, advised those of his con-
gregation who were intending to leave
town for the summer to take few books
with them, and no newspapers. What
does he take his hearers to be, that he
would thus shut them out from the busy
world, so that not even an echo of its
activities might fall upon their ears2

the Doctors weekly sermons, but without

In HIS speech before the Norfolk Club of
Boston last evening, General Logan made
fattering reference to the influence of
Massachusetts and the obligations under
which it had placed the West to the old
Bay State. This was shrewd piece of
diplomacy. The Senator, doubtless, re-
membered how Mr. Blaine, upon certain
occasion, gave Massachusetts, piece of
his mind, which she has never forgotten
and will never forgive.

be announced in time TO take effect July1.

ment he assumed the duties of chief and

Secretary Manning has steadily refused

has promised that the selection should be

being the one to be given the place. The
appointment is, therefore, on the strictest
principles of administrative reform, an

MISTAKES ON SCARLET FEVER.
A Disease that Requires Great Care at All
Times.

One mistake is to suppose that scarla-
tina is a milder form of the disease
that it differs from it as varioloid differs
from smallpox. The two words denote
the same disease.
Another mistake is to be less careful
respecting q mild attack. This tends to
lead one to take less pains in guarding
its communication to others, and to be
less solicitous as to the means of
recovery.
AS to the first point, the mildest at
tack may communicate the most violent.
AS to the second a little neglect in any
case may be followed by fatal results, or
at least be attended by lifelong harm.
Every case, however mild, should be in
full charge of a physician until the child
is well-well not onlv from the fever but
from its hidden effects. After effects
are often vastly worse than the origi-
nal disease.
Another mistake is to let the child be
exposed early after recovery. Almost
every vital organ is left in a weakened
condition, unable to Withstand even
slightly harmful influences. A common
cold may mean death to it.
Another mistake is the matter of dis
infection. The chief source of contagion
is in the particles of scarf skin necessarily
thrown from the outside of the body
and corresponding particles from the in
ternal surfaces.
The disinfection attempted is apt to be
exceedingly inadequate, indeed, utterly
worthless. The body should be kept
oiled to prevent as far as possible, the
particles of scarf skins escaping. Special
attention should be given to the hand
and hair. The whole body should be
carefully washed with soap and wafer
part at time, to prevent taking cold.
The sick-room and all its contents
should be fumigated by burning in it a
consid cradle quantity of sulphur mixed
with saltpetre-the doors and windows
being kept closed some twelve hours af-
terward.
All clothing worn by the patient
should either be thoroughly cleansed or
destroyed, and in no case worn by an
other who has not had the disease

Valuable Seed.

A welI-known New York seed firm has
now on deposit in Safe Deposit Com
pany's vaults 400 pounds of Caulitlower
seed, which, at the selling price OF $lOO
per pound, shows the value OF TINS
seed to be $40, 600. Not only is this plan
ofdepositing in vaults found ODE cheaper
than insurance. but what is of more I'M
portance is that if the seed should be
destroyed by fire this quality necessary
for the firms trade could not be re-
placed at any price in time for the spring
sales. When it is considered that 4OO
pounds of cauliAower seed will, under
favorable conditions, produce nearly IL,
600, 900 plants which, when headed Tor

BUREAU OF LABOR.
saIutatOry Effect of the Newly Appointed
Commissioners.

Mr.. Carroll d. Wright, the newly ap'
pointed Commissioner of Labor, sent
letter to Secretary Teller announcing
that he had entered upon the discharge
of his duties, and indicating the policy
which, in his opinion, the Bureau of
Labor should pursue. That policy, Mr..
Wright says, IS outlined in letter to
him from General Francis A. Walker,
written in 1878, when Mr.. Wright as
sumed charge of the Massachusetts
Bureau of Statistics of Labor.
In that letter General Walker said:-
"Ifany office Is s5ono e4gugh simply
to consider the BODY of ci,55ens, and to
refuse to recognize or eszerValn con
sideration of parties, success Is alrea"y
in the main assured. Public confidence
once given, the choice of agencies tne
selection OF inquiries to be propouuoeu'
are easy and plain. The country Is
hungry for information. Everything
of a statistical character, or even OF a
statistical appearance is taken up with
an eagerness that is almost pathetic.
The community have not yet learned to
be half skeptical and critical enough in
respect to such statements. All this is
favorable to such laudable efforts as you
are engaged in, for the difficulty of col
lecting statistics in a new country re-
ouires much indulgence, and l have
strong hopes that you will so distinctly
and decisively disconnect the Massachu-
sets Bureau of Labor Statistics from
politics, from dependence upon organ
izations, whether of worSingmen or en-
ployers, and from the support of eco
nomical theories, individual views or
class interests, as to command the moral
support of the whole body of citizens,
and receive the cooperation of all men
cf all occupations and of all degrees,
without reference, however, either to
their degrees or their occupations.
This, Mr.. Wright declares, will be the
positive policy of this Bureau of Labor.
He says that the $4,000 appropriated
for the current fiscal yeat; with similar
amount for the next year, will, he thinks,
be sufficient for the early labors of the
bureau, but for any extended work or
Investigations looking to deeper under
standing of industrial matters : the
amount is entirely inadequate. He says ::
81 should not feel that could in JUS
tice to the bureau undertake satisfactory
work without more liberal equipment"
In conclusion, MIR. Wright says:
'It should be remembered that a
Bureau of Labor cannot solve social or
industrial problems, nor can it bring di-
rect returns in material way to the
citizens of a country; but its work must
be classed among educational efforts,
and by iudicious Investigations, and the
fearless publication afszthe results there
of, it may and should enable the people
to more clearly and more fully eompre-
hend many of the problems which now
yex them. With the National
Bureau working in harmony with the
State bureaus, I anticipate most excel
lent results"

The Rate OF Postage.

A reduction was made some time ago
in the rates of postage on some classes
of printed matter, which does not seem.
to be generally understood. On mail
matter OF the third class, such as books,
postage is still to be paid at the. rate of
one cent for two ounces. But news
papers. magazines and periodicals regu-
IarIy issued at stated intervals as fre-
uuently as four times year, are charged
at the rate of one cent for four ounces.
Most people, however, when mailing
papers or magazines to friends in the
country still stamp them at the old rate.

that the private detectives employed to

shadowed Socialist, who was at last
seen to go into a drug store and write
out a prescription which was filled. The
detectives secured it, and had it again
made up, the result being colorless
mixture. This was applied to door
panel and also to paper. 1t left no stain,
but in half an hour began to blaze
This suggested the methods of the man,
who could easily sprinkle his liquid over
heap of rubbish or on pile of lum-
ber and be two miles away before the
fire would break out. The man was

seeing him in the act, but he took alarm
