The Management Of Diphtheria.
Sqnitqru EnniReer.


There are many cases in which at
first skilled physician cannot say posi-
lively whether it is contagious diphthe-
ria or simple non-specifc infamma-
tion with which he has to deal, and this
uncertainty may continue for a consid-
cradle time. If DR.. Jacobs views are
correct, and he is certainly very high
authority on this subject, diphtheria
may exist, especially in the adult, in
chronic form, not greatly disturbing
the health, or at all events not prevent
ign the person SO affected from going
about and performing his or her usual
duties, and yet making the secretions
from such person capable of convey
ing the disease.
The precautions to be taken in the
management of well-marked case of
diphtheria are, or should be, generally
known; they have been published as
circulars by many health boards, and
through the secular and medical press,
and may be summed up as follows: Iso-
late the patient in an airy room hav-
ing the least possible amount Of furni-
ture, especially that which is upholster
ed, and having no carpet or curtains.
Disinfect all excretions, and especially
those from the throat, nose and mouth,
and all articles soiled by them, prompt
ly, while they are yet moist, and thor
oughly. Use clean, soft rags for receiv-
ing the discharges from the nose and
mouth, and burn them as fast as soiled.
If other articles are soiled, use solutions
of chloride of zinc or bichloride of
mercury, under the instructions of the
physician. Be especially careful as re-
CARDS toys, pencils, or other articles
which may be given the child for its
amusement, of the articles used in CIV
ing it food or drink, and of the rem
nants of such food or drink. Every
thing that has touched the patients lips,
or has been touched by anything that
has touched the patients lips, is dan
gerous.
When convalescence has set in do
not yield too soon to the opportunities
of the patient to be allowed to see his
friends or to go out, nor to your own feel
ing of WEAKNESS at the long continued
confinement. Above all things do not,
under the excuse of giving change of
air and scene, send him off to some
other place to complete his recovery;
you might send dynamite about the
country with scarcely more risk. Do
not send the child back to school in less
than six weeks after the attack about
two weeks after you are satisfied that
he is entirely we'll is very good rule.
If the little life is not strong enough
to withstand the attack, and is cut
short, do not in your grief forget the
danger to other lives which the house
and its contents may yet cause. Do
not allow sympathizing friends and play
mates to enter; do not have any funer-
al ceremonies in the house treat the
sick-room and its contents as being dan
gerously infected.
In mild and doubtful cases follow the
plan above indicated as nearly as you
can, and be sure that all your care and
patience will be needed if you wish to
obtain security for other members of the
family and for friends.

An Era of GimcrackS.
Netc York Mirror.


1 have been up town lately, visiting
a pretty friend of mine, whose husband
has salary of $4,000 a year, and how
jolly comfortable they might be on it if
they were not permeated with the prin-
ciples of this era of rot. They have eS-
tablished themselves in stock apart
ment house, where liveried servants
tend the door and run the elevator.
The light of heaven reaches them
through stained glass and it falls in sick
ly greens and purples on tesselated
floors. They hive in series of closets,
the smallest of them being the bed
room. But they have no end of drap-
cry and hangings. They have bought,
with no discrimination and less taste,
lot of pictures-real Daubinas. They
are wonderfully framed, but the frames
are already opening in every corner.
They stand on fancy easels, and the
veneers are peeling off and sticking out
like so many onion skins. There is no
end of silver plating on the open CRATES
and the doors of the establishment;
but my friend, being of neat turn,
has polished it so thoroughly that after
six months occupancy the silver is all
off and streaky black takes its place.
The house itself has been built perhaps
two years, and more shabbily put to-
gether edifce heart of man never con-
ceived and hand of man never put up.
In three more years it will be warped,
dismantled wreck. The blamed little
gingerbread decorations are dropping
off, it is furnishing where it's metal and
cracking where it's painted.

Disinfecsan IS.
Casselps Moqdzine,


There are many kinds of disinfectants
known and sold to the public at varying
prices, some valuable, and others en-
tirely worthless as disinfectants. Every
one is familiar with bleeching-powder,
which was formerly, (and is still to a
considerable extent) so much used. 1t
is very effectual, owing to the cholorine
gas which it freely gives off when ex-
posed to the atmosphere or moistened
with dilute acids, such as vinegar.
Charcoal, too, is well-known as dis
infectant and as powerful deodorant.
We may here remark that a deodorant
simply disguises the bad smell without
destroying the poison which it may
contain, and in this respect it differs
from true disinfectant. Of all known
disinfectants, carbolic acid is now gen.
orally admitted to be the most efica-
cious, and it is the basis of most of the
disinfecting agents now sold. The acid
is too powerful to be used alone, and is
therefore generally mixed with 50 or 90
per cent. of some other substance not
possessed of disinfecting properties.
Sometimes the bisulphites of lime and
magnesia are added, and these SUBJ
stances are themselves possessed of dis
injecting properties; but more gener-
ally, chalk or sand is used or the acid
IS Simply diluted with water.
A Asmall portion of the mixture, sprin-
kled in water-closets and places where
decomposing matter is allowed to re-
main, will diminish if not entirely re-
move the chances of contagion, and
sweeten and purify the atmosphere.
Although carbolic acid is so efficacious,
there are some who object to its use.
1t smells rather strongly and many per-
sons are thereby prevented from using
it. 1t is pity on this account to be
robbed of its advantages, and such per-
sons would do we'll to try and educate
themselves to the smell. Moreover, it
is better to breathe an unpleasant and
pure atmosphere than a pleasant but
unhealthy and dangerous one. The
smell of pure carbolic is much more
easily borne than that of crude carbol-
ic; and we would recommend the use
of the purest carbolic procurable diluted
with SO or 90 per cent. of water, or
mixed with the same percentage of pre-
cipitated chalk. 1t is difficult for the
chemist, trained and accustomed to the
offensive and unwholesome smells of the
laboratory, to understand how any per-
son can retain a strong dislike to the
comparatively sweet smell of carbolic
acid.

The Latest Fashion in ChaperOns.

The most exclusive society women
enter drawing rooms now by themselves.
Even young ladies think nothing of 60
ing without the hitherto indispensable
chaperon. Chaperons, in fact, are CIV
ing way almost entirely to the need,
felt greater, of a personal attendant,
who can be handler and is less trouble.
1t is quite the proper thing now for
girl to come alone with her maid, who
attends to all her mistress wants, re-
pairs her inery if an accident occurs
during the evening, picks up a lot of
gossip for her from all the other maids,
and then entertains her with it on the
road home. The idea is not bad by
any means, saves girls mother, who
hates so much going out, considerable
annoyance, and all the time the young
woman is considered quite as well pro-
tected as if under her maternal eye and
wing.

calender which is Old Style and twelve
DAYS behind ours in the month.
A great deal has been said about the
daytime, and some declare it to be at
1862 of longitude. There is no day
line, as have abundantly shown. Nav
igators generally adapt their time of
week to that of the port at which they
stop. A ship sailing west from San
Francisco to Hong Kong would leave
the Sandwich Islands with the time of
these Islands, but on arriving at Hong
Kong would be day behind. The
adaptation to the anticipated Hong
Kong time could be made at any time
on the route after leaving the Sandwich
Islands or after arrival. Travellers are
under no necessity of changing their
name of the day of week at ports which
they stop only temporarily. If they
travel westward and return home east
ward, their count will be just right if
they should preserve it throughout the
whole trip. If they should complete
the circuit of the earth and retain their
count, they would find this count either
one day ahead or behind that at home
according as their travel has been east
ward or westward.
From what has been said the reader
will be able to explain how navigator
might have six Sundays in February in
leap year, the last two coming to-
gether or in succession, and how he
might have only three Sundays in Feb
ruary by being compelled to omit the
fourth by counting Monday after Satur-
day.
From what has been said it will read
lily be seen that Sunday lasts on the
earth at present 50 hours. ]. S. G.
