INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
Precautions That Should BE Used to Stamp
Them Out.

Precautions That SHOULD BE USED TO stamp
Them Out.
We are coming to understand better
the character of the contagious to which
most infectious diseases are due We
have learned that they are, in the main,
living organisms, which, from without,
find their way into the system. where
they multiply in prodigious numbers,
and are then thrown out to multiply
again in congenial filth, whence they
find their deadly way back into the hui
man system. We more fully compre
bend the relation of cleanliness and
ventilation to health. We are being at
more pains and cost to secure pure
drinking water. We are adopting bet
ter methods and measures for the safer
disposal of our sewage.
This is all well and hopeful, but i'm
portant sources of danger remain.
One is the ignorance carelessness, or
wicked neglect of plumbers. A large
part of the plumbing is far from scien-
tific and effective. The owner knows
little difference between good work and
bad. and many plumber knows as lit
tie. Besides, the JOB is largely out of
sight Many cellar floor in our first
class dwellings covers cesspool formed
from leakage, for which the latter is
responsible. We often hire good
plumber. who does his work. without
adequate supervision, through an in
competent hand. In one of the finest
mansions in Maryland. in which the
plumbing was supposed to be looked
after with unwonted care. and was in
spected monthly, infectious diseases
compelled more searching investiga-
ton. when it was found that one of the
drain-pipes had fallen out of its place,
and beneath the floor were the deadly
accumulations of years.
A still greater source of danger is the
cartlessness of the friends of the sick.
Mates are allowed to visit the sick
chamber. Older persons come freely
to the house, regardless of the fact that
the poison often fills it. In many cases
neither ventilation nor disinfection is
looked after. The young convalescents
are permitted to play again freely with
their companions, or to return to school,
or are sent to homes in the country,
ether without being duly disinfected-
especially in their hair-or even before
they have passed the point when they
canidirectly communicate the disease.
Members of the family often go, with
out any precaution. from the sick room
into other families, or to their place of
business, and mingle with their shop
mates.
Another danger is from attacks so
mild that they either are thought to be
harmless. or their nature is not re-
cogrized. Now the mildest ferns can
give rise to the most virulent
1t is plain that. if we would stamp
out infectious diseases, much more is to
be done by law and by public sentiment
than is now attclnpted.-louhs Conn

Clear thinking goes for much in
life. 1t is characteristic of the strong,
accurate mind, and should be cultivat-
ed with the utmost care by requiring
the pupil to bound every idea with
which he deals, whether it be material
object or an emotion of the soul.-Indi-

Twelve States of the Union have
passed laws providing for instruction
in physiology in the common school

Terrible Speed OF . shark-rewed Boat
"A Fish Twelve Feet High and Seventy
Feet Long.
1--WE were fishing near the Seycheile
Islands. All at once there appeared
about five hundred yards from the boat
a shark. l would guess it was at least
sixty foot. 1t didn't seem to notice US,
but kept along and finally the canoe
ran right alongside and hauling off the
man let him have it right behind the
side fins, and at the same minute the
men dug their paddles into the water
and away the canoe went, and / TIL
YOU, my boy, it was just in time to save
our bacon, as the moment the iron
struck, the fish seemed to rise like a
big island right into the air, never saw
such sight, and when it came down
you'd have thought the bottom had
fallen out of the ocean from the whir-
pool it made, ard wave struck us that
would have knocked an American boat
all to pieces, but as it was we seemed
for q moment to shoot into the air, fell
back with crash, and then came the
yell of the man for the rest to look out
for the line but in the confusion it took
a turn about paddle and jerked it and
the man overheard quicker than l can
think of it, and talk about Kissing rope,
I've been foul of some lively old whales
in my time, but it wasn't nothing to
this. The line fairly played tunes and
Kissed and smoked like a steam engine,
we a-pullin' after it as fast as we could,
and it was a good thing we did, as in a
few seconds the fish had taken all the
slack, and there came jerk that sent
every man to the bottom of the boat
and Inearly overheard, and l thought
the planks had been torn clear out of
her.
SAT first her bow went under, and
when the men climbed aft she was half
full of water and going along at n rate
that almost tore the buttons off your
coat from the friction. 1t was a lucky
thing for us that there was no sea on
or we would have filled in no time, but
as it was we got her head up in the air
and off we went, asking no favors of
any one. We headed right out to sea a
matter of four miles, and then it changed
again and struck in shore, and when
about mile off the beach we took in
the slack, so we got lance into him
and let him have four or five bullets
about the head, and, to make long
yarn short, after furry that beat any
thing | ever saw, the shark gave up and
rolled over and we got lines on, and
after an hours hard pulling got it
aground and at ebb tide it WAS high and
dry.
Talk about fish-it looked more like
a big whale than anything I ever saw.
1t was about twelve foot high and about
seventy foot long. The mouth wasn't
on the under side. and it had teeth
hardly larger than Goldfish. and in its
throat curious whalebone-like arrange
ment believe they call 'em gill rakers, :
but they were used just about as whale
uses its boneS-small food is taken into
the mouth and kind of strained through
the 'rakers' and so into the throat The
natives cut it up and got about ten
barrels of oil. so that the fish paid about
two hundred dollars. - Philadelphia
