When natural water-co,1rse trav-
erses 4 town, and lis banks become
bnilt upon, the easiest way d getting
rid Of filth and house wastes Is to throw
them into the stream Every mans in
stinctive impulse is to get rid Of what
annoys him, and not to mind how his
neighbor will be affected. After awhile,
when the water-course has become suf-
ficiently nasty, the people come to re-
alizin5 sense Of what they have brought
upon themselves, and then they try to
devise remedy. In this they begin
usually at the wrong end. They look
upon the stream as creating the nui-
sauco, and don't consider that it is
their abuse OF the stream that is the
source Of the trouble. So they 60 to
work and cover the stream up and call
it sewer What is the resultp Simply
That the stencil OF the foul matter
in the channel il bottled up somewhat,
to be vented through every man-hole.
every inlet and every house-drain, and
probably do more real injury than when
the rotting filth was exposed TO the air
and the sun, and diffuscd its aroma
through the whole atmosphere.
The channel Of small natural stream
through town or village ought never
to be converted into sewer for house
wastes. This will strike good many
people as an odd doctrine, but still it Is
> sound doctrine. The functions OF
natural stream and OF sewer are so
diverse that one can not be made to do
duty for the other
A natural water-course serves for the
drainage Of the land all along its course.
Its banks can not be made water-tight
without obstructing the natural progress
Of the water in the soil and backing it
up and retaining it where it ought not
to be retained. A sewer, on the other
hand, is intended to carry off foul mat
tiers which must be gotten nd OF as
quickly as possible, and the channel Tor
conveying them must be absolutely inn
pervious. so that nothing. can soak
through tito the soil. As the level OF the
water in the soil rises and falls with the
season and the amount OF rain, an OPEN
jointed or pervious channel would
sometimes admit water from the soil
and sometimes permit fluids flowing in
the channel above the level OF the
ground water to flow out, and thus
pollute the soil and the air in the soil.
Again, a natural stream draining .
considerable territory is subject to great
variations In its volume. A channel to
carry its extreme discharge in floods
must be many times larger than can

Ono of the medical names of this all
ment is herpes circinata, which is near
" the same as our familiar term. They
each refer to the way in which it moves
like creeping circle, q ring constant
" enlarging itself outward from its
center.
The disease is caused by parasitic
plant microscopic of course-lodging
on the skin and then getting down into
its substance. 1t then propagates its
kind Each new brood develops lit
tie further from the center Of the circle.
The first things noticed are an itching,
burning, slight redness. These are
soon followed by small number of
vesicles. minute elevations filed with
watery iluid. Some OF these vesiclcs
are constantly drying up, while others
are forming.
Among other animals, sheep are sub
ject to this ailment. The plant, or its
spores (seeds), may adhere TO the wool
in spite of the washing, and the disease
may be thus communicated to persons
employed in wooden mills. 1t Is now
believed that many Of the contagious
diseases are due to microscopic
pldllIS, Dut tuc5c w uOt tNhc IOOt anu
grow and ripen their spores unless they
lind congenial soil. The congenial
soil for ringworms is low state Of the
human system. Mill girls are peculiar
ly exposed, because they are seldom in
vigorous health.
The ringworm may be upon the body
or upon the head. In the latter case
its appearance Is different, and it bears
somewhat different medical name
herpes tosssurans. The latter term Is
from Latin word signifying to shave.
Yet whether on the body or head. it is
the same disease, and due 10 the same
parasite. On the head il works down to
the hair bulb, and there plants itself.
The hair loses its vitality, and is easily
broken off. The eyebrows and lashes
may wholly drop out. The patches are
circular. They show rcpulslve-looking
sores, with red, raw. appearance
Some have crust-like formation. The
slight discharge from the vesicles mats
the surrounding hair. Both varieties
are contagious. Children with ring
worms should not be allowed to play
with other children.
DR.. Weir, Professor of Dermatology
in the Philadelphia Medical and Chirur-
gical College, who has been long ex-
perimenting on curative applications
for the disease--we repeat It for the
benefit OF the medical profession says
he has never known the oleate of cop
per to fail in single case. The gener-
al health usually needs invigorating. -

--Tha call for meeting Of the coun-

We hope every member Of that COM
mittec will be on hand as much busi-
ness Of vital Importance will come be-
fore the meeting. The time for hold
ing township conventions to send dele
gates to the county convention will be
settled, and the mode or manner of put
ting out county ticket will be deter
mined. Every township not already
supplied with member of the central
committee by election OF appointment
should proceed at once to fill the vacan
cy, and let these places be filled by
workers--live, active, pushing men, re-
liable and true Democrats, who will 60
to work with Will to organize the
party In their respective townships.
Much will depend upon the wisdom
and efficiency of our central commit
tee, who are expected to map out the
campaign aud direct the fight. Let
there be no Jobs, no bossism, no tricks,
no favoritism, but let everything be
dealt with fairly, squareiy and impair.
TALLY. Let Democrats lay aside all
individual animosities, all pickering,
all sectional feeling--in word sacri-
fee all personal considerations to the
general good of the party. Do this,
and we will again enjoy a complete
democratic victory in Pope county.
