PERIODICITY OF DISEASE.

Intermittent fever, (ague) is so called
its temperature. In one type of this fever
the subsistence of the fever is for one day,
in another for two days, in third for three
days. Many diseases run their course in a
fixed number of weeks. In typhoid fever.
and some other diseases, the temperature
falls in the earlier part OF the day, and rises
in the latter part. These facts are familiar
to our readers. Careful study indicates
disease-indeed, there are different laws,
some having their source within the sys-
tenn, and some dependent on periodical
changes without.
A daily period shows itself in a steady
increase of vital activity from three A. NJ,
reaching its maximum between noon and
two P. NJ; with a progressive decline, at
first slow and later more rapid, reaching
its minimum between one and three A. NJ.
To this is due the more frequent occurrence
of death some time after midnight.
There is a ueekly period shown in the
more vigorous condition, ofa healthy body,
in the earlier part of the week as compared
with the latter part. This is due to the
rest of the sabbath, and indicates that we
are so made that our nervous energy tends
to rapid periodical exhaustion.
There are annual periods connected with
the succession of the seasons. Vital vigor
increases through autumn, winter and
early spring: declines toward the end of
spring, and reaches its lowest point at the
close of summer Hence the greater LA
bility to disease in summer.
Different diseases, also, seem to sustain
each its own special relation to the season.
The maximum prevalence of smallpox is
in May; of scarlet fever, in October; of
diphtheria. in November and December;
of typhoid fever, in November; of cholera,
in September; of dysentery and diarrhga,
in July and August; of bronchitis and
asthma, in January. Whooping cough,
pneumonia and rheumatism are mainly dis
eases of winter and spring.
The great epidemics have larger periods,
spreading widely, perhaps from country
to country, for a series Of years, and then
for a longer series of years, almost wholly
disappearing. The last great epidemic of
smallpox in Great Britain and the United
| States was in 1871 and 1872. Europe and
this country nave been visited four times
by cholera, which is now on its fifth world
wide march.-Youths Companion.

THE WHITE CROSS MOVEMENT.

The thorough decision Of the principles
of the Church Temperance Society, and the
deliberate approval of the work OF thai
society by fifty-four bishops and thirty
one dioccses, h as prepared the way for an
easy acceptance of the Bishop of Durham's
White Cross movement. 1t was said that
the church was a temperance society, and,
therefore, no combination or association
was to be encouraged with reference to
temperance work. We have found, how
ever, while every baptized person is al
ready pledged to temperance, that it is ex-
pedient to use special effort in meeting the
evils of intemperance. The same is true OF
the White Cross work. for while every
Christian is pledged to purity of life, it has
been found advisable to join hands in seek
ing to maintain the standard Of purity
where it is in special danger of falling toe
low. With reference to this danger, the
Bishop of Durham organized "The White
Cross Army" which in a short space OF
time has lone so much good. The terms
of membership are simple, and the indiyid-
promises, by the help of Cod
l.. To treat all women with respect, and
endeavor to protect them from wrong and
degradation.
9. To endeavor to put down all indecent
language and coarse jests.
3. To maintain the law of purity as
equally binding on men and women.
4. To endeavor to spread these principles
among my companions, and to try and help
my younger brothers.
D. To use every possible means to fulnl
the command, ''Keep thyself pure
The literature of the subject is furnished
in the shape of tracts, "For Men Only"
These tracts are for the most part the work
of Miss Ellice Hopkins, who has served as
the chief executive of the Bishop OF Dur
ham, and who has done a remarkable work.
A committee has been formed to ~republish
the tracts through Messrs. f. P. button Il
Co. They are being carefully revised for
the American church, and five of them are
now on the point of publication. Two spe-
clal papers explanatory Oh tine mo'eiheht
are already out, and may be had free ON
application to the secretary of the commit
tee through the publishers. The regular
series of tracts, in handsome White Cross
covers, will be sold at two dollars per hun
dred. and such names as those of Bishops
Williams, Huntington, and Potter, which
appear on the cover, form a certain guaran-
tee of their value. The Bishop of Pitts
bury recently devoted four pages of his an
nual address to the White Cross movement.

THOUGHTFUL SAYINGS.

Friendships multiply joys and divide
griefs.
He who wants little, generally has
enough.
All that thou givest thou wilt carry away
with thee.
Speaking without thinking is shooting
without taking aim.
Without economy none can be rich and
with it few can be poor.
Falsehood always endeavors to copy the
mein and attitude of truth.
Moderation is commonly firm and firm
ness is commonly successful.
A mere sanguine temperament often
passes for genius and patriotism.
The virtue of prosperity is temperance,
the virtue of adversely is fortitude.
The more we help others to bear their
burdens the lighter our own will be.
Clothes and company do oftentimes tell
tales in a mute but significant language.
The world forgives with difficulty the
fact that that one can be happy without it.
Genius follows its own path and reaches
it's destination, scarcely needing a compass.

verse who is not obliged to study appear

A man can frequently polish his boots
with a better grace than he can polish his

rHEINrUITroNAL SENSE OF WOMEN

The wit Of women has been praised, but
her instincts are quicker and keener than
her reason. Counsel with your wife. or
your mother, or sister, and be assured that
light will fash upon your darkness. Wo-
men are too commonly adiudged as verdant
in all but purely womanish affairs. No
philosophical student of the sex thus adj
judges them. Their intuition, or insight,
is the most subtle, and if they annot see
a cat in the meal there is no cat there. In
~eounselling one to tell his trouble to his
wife, we would go further and advise him
to keep none Of his affairs secret from her.
Many a home has been happily saved, and
many a fortune relieved by mans fun con-
fdence in his better half. Woman is faI
more a seer and prophet than man il she
be given a chance. Mari Morrop.

When you see u fellow mortal
Without fixed and fearless views,
Hanging on the skirts of others,
Walking in their cast-off shoes,
Bowling low to wealth and favor,
With AFFECT, uncovered head,
Ready to retract or waver,
Willing to be drove or led;
Walk yourself with firIner bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders back,
show your spine has nerve and marrow

In sense or tone
Than this, backbone.
When you see a t~heologian
Hugging close some ugly creed,
Fearing to reject or question
Dogmas which his priest may read,
Holding back all noble feeling,
Choking down each manly view,
Caring more for forms and symbols
Than to know the good and true;
Walk yourself with firmer bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders back,
Show your spine has nerve and marrow
just the things which his must lack.
A tronge word

Crawling through contracted holes,
Begging for some fat position,
In the ring or at the polls.
With no sterling manhood in him,
Nothing staple, broad or sound.

s.ANEN. HIT OR MISS,

A story is told of an old-fashioned Meth
odist in a church in New York that Illus
trates a type of that denomination now al
most extinct. His pastor complained ofhim
that his responses We're not altogether appro-
pos to the subject or the occasion-that they
were much in the line OF those of another
good brother of the same denomination,
who, being a little daft, and not being able
to discern where the response should com
in, after being admonished of his fault
the influence of a stirring exhortation
shouted: Amen, but added, apologet-
ically, hit or miss. OF the brother in
question it is related that his pastor was
rehearsing the virtues of an old and highly
respectable member of the church who
was then lying at the point Of death, And
now said the minister, solemnly. there
is a sad prospect that he will pass away
from us soon Our good brother reused
up from a refreshing doze at this juncture,
and not catching the exas spirit Of the re-
mark. cried feryently: Thank the Lord.'
which was, to say the least, embarrassing
to the sick mas relatives. On another
occasion, when the pastor had performed
the wedding service over two higaly r.
spected members Of the church and the
young people were standing before him, he
offered a prayer, in which theirs occurred

no marrying or giving in marriage whsn

NO.1O.
LAW OF THE ROAD.

\ Philadelphia judge has just passed
upon a point that is OF general interest.
A man named Brooks brought an action
against a man named Moulton for dam
ages for injuries inflicted on the plaintiff 5
wagon by a collision with a vehicle owned
by the defendant. The motion was for a
new trial, and the court, in passing on this
point, said:
"There is no rule of law which requires
a traveller to drive over any particular
part of a public highway. He can drive
over the middle, or on either side, no mat
ter in what direction he may be going.
What is called the law Of the road is that
persons meeting on a highway must each
keep to the right. This rule is modified in
the case of a footman or horseman. who
cannot compel a teamster with a heavy
load to turn ont ofthe beaten track. or even
a light wagon with a heavy draught.
In those eases, if the hoTseman or light We
hicle can pass with safety on the left of a
heavily laden team it is their duty to give
way and leave the choice to the more un
wieldly vehicle. Travellers naturally keep
as near as they can to the right side of a
highway, not because of any legal obliga-
ton to do so, but because they are in a
position to require any one meeting them
to turn out. They may travel on the left
side if they please, but then. if they are met
by a person driving in an opposite direct
ion, they must turn out. The obligation is
highway, but simply to turn to the right
when others meet them After citing the
refusal of Chief Justice Gibson to allow the
established law of the road to be modified
toms. the judge continues: '.In the present
case the defendant was on the left-hand side
of the highway, with room between him
and the curb for a carriage coming in the
opposite direction to pass him, if the driver
of it kept to the right. The plaintiff, com
ing from the opposite direction, had a right
of way on the railway track, but instead of
keeping on that track lie straddled one of
the rails, having thus but one wheel on the
track. 1t was his duty to follow the law
of the road, which regulated the conduct
of those not driving on the track. Instead
of keeping to the right of the carriage APP
preaching him he kept to the left, and his
right wheel came in contact with the de-
PENDANTS right wheel. He was thus vic
lating himself the law of the road The
jury having, under these instructions as TO
the law of the case, found the defendant
guilty of no negligence, gave a verdict in
his favor. This verdict we see no reason
to disturb. The motion for a new trial is
| dismissed =
